PHYL   Nice of you and Jim to open your house to the festivities.  ;)  You were probably cooking all day  :o

T40   I've seen that porch of eagles before but had no idea it was from Decorah WOW    Could not watch the deer being drown.  :'(

CLYNN   Cool 2023 photo.   I can also say I saw the New Year come in - got up to go to the bathroom and it was 11:59  LOLOL  Did my Jan 1st weigh in - Holidays put on 5 #   Time to get serious.  ;) ;D

Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post.  It was a nice lunch, and I always love to catch up with ex-SIL.  I love appetizers as a meal. 

T40 - Amazing photo of the eagles on the front porch.  I see one in the background too, that must have been too shy to get its pic taken. 

Lani - I'm glad that Shannon and Kona stayed the night with you, but goodness all the doggie drama!   ;D

kb - Happy to hear that some of the poisoned eagles were released yesterday.

tsk - I am glad too, and that she and I can remain friends.

I am trying a Pinterest recipe for my New Year's meal today.  I hope it is not a fail.

Eagles, it's been raining non-stop since Shannon left early this morning. She left before the rain and just made it home before the rain started in Mesa. She and Kona grabbed a quick breakfast and jumped into their beds.  ;D. Sadie was stubborn about her morning walk and wouldn't get in the car for the return trip home from the park this morning. So we both walked home in the rain.  :-\ So much busyness and it wasn't even 8am yet.

Hi Paulie!  ;D

Hi Pink, good to see you... awww prayers for Meg and Kenz. Take care  :-*

Lisa, you should have heard the back and forth between the dogs last night. Dewey would be on the couch with Aly, Sadie was laying in her dog bed in my office, cats in their baskets and Kona was downstairs. They would all yap at each other from their spots, and cats with ears back, would be owl-eyed over the whole chatter.  ;D Once Shannon and Kona was on the road home, Dewey demanded the pet gate to be opened to his downstairs domain, he rushed forward with Sadie following and then the cats. Sniffing like mad and checking out downstairs patio and dog run. Aly and I rushed around vacuuming and changing bedding before I left for the dog park, because Dewey was not happy. LOL! ... it's nice you and your ex SIL are close. That's as it should be, especially if there are children, it's the ties that bind.  :) ... it's looks like a delicious recipe for tonight's dinner. Good luck.

Tsk, Shannon left at 6:30 while it was still dark and just before the rain started. Kona didn't sleep, and fell asleep before they drove up to our security guard gate. I need to get serious about our scale too, a yearly checkup is set in two weeks, at least it's before my birthday  ;D

Phyl, thanks for RRP blog... interesting New Year's food traditions.

T40, awesome photo of eagles visiting Decorah residents! LOL!

Baz, Happy birthday Zippo!🥳

I can’t help but reflect on all the things I’m thankful for as the year comes to a close.
Our Beak family is near and dear to my heart—may we each continue to thrive in the new year.  :-*

look at this guy's beard, LOL

Morning all and Happy 2023....

Lisa - that recipe look yummy...let us know how it turned out for you.

Wait, what!.....did I miss the Rose Bowl parade?....
I've been scurrying to get food and errands run all morning in anticipation of our storm tomorrow.

Looks like a solid foot now predicted.....yuk.

Think I'll just make sure both back doors can open and make one path for Ollie on the lower deck....and then down the road remove a little at a time....that's just too much snow.

Done now and waiting for a woman I know son to come pick up Scott's bike....I have saved it for maybe Chris someday, but it's too large for him I think in reality.....An older Specialized mountain bike that apparently will go to a good cause...someone who bikes to work had theirs stolen.

Hated to give it up frankly but this afternoon will be done.

Go Vikes!

All is well...sun is trying to peek out before our storm, Mr. Tower is perched across the street, and Scott's bike is gone....

This may be corny...no definitely corny....but Mr. Tower showed up exactly when Scott's bike was put in their trunk....Scott is saying it's okay to me is what I believe. :)

Happy New Year Beakers!
Morning Lilbro, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, BL, Lori, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Eagles, it's been raining non-stop since Shannon left early this morning. She left before the rain and just made it home before the rain started in Mesa. She and Kona grabbed a quick breakfast and jumped into their beds.  ;D. Sadie was stubborn about her morning walk and wouldn't get in the car for the return trip home from the park this morning. So we both walked home in the rain.  :-\ So much busyness and it wasn't even 8am yet.

Hi Paulie!  ;D

Hi Pink, good to see you... awww prayers for Meg and Kenz. Take care  :-*

Lisa, you should have heard the back and forth between the dogs last night. Dewey would be on the couch with Aly, Sadie was laying in her dog bed in my office, cats in their baskets and Kona was downstairs. They would all yap at each other from their spots, and cats with ears back, would be owl-eyed over the whole chatter.  ;D Once Shannon and Kona was on the road home, Dewey demanded the pet gate to be opened to his downstairs domain, he rushed forward with Sadie following and then the cats. Sniffing like mad and checking out downstairs patio and dog run. Aly and I rushed around vacuuming and changing bedding before I left for the dog park, because Dewey was not happy. LOL! ... it's nice you and your ex SIL are close. That's as it should be, especially if there are children, it's the ties that bind.  :) ... it's looks like a delicious recipe for tonight's dinner. Good luck.

Tsk, Shannon left at 6:30 while it was still dark and just before the rain started. Kona didn't sleep, and fell asleep before they drove up to our security guard gate. I need to get serious about our scale too, a yearly checkup is set in two weeks, at least it's before my birthday  ;D

Phyl, thanks for RRP blog... interesting New Year's food traditions.

T40, awesome photo of eagles visiting Decorah residents! LOL!

Baz, Happy birthday Zippo!🥳

I can’t help but reflect on all the things I’m thankful for as the year comes to a close.
Our Beak family is near and dear to my heart—may we each continue to thrive in the new year.  :-*

Lani, many thanks and chirpy kisses from Zippo for your birdthday wishes to her!  :) :-*  LOLOLOL on all the Doggy Drama!!!  Glad Shannon got back to Mesa while Kona slept and before the rain poured. I wonder if next New Year's Kona might say, "Mom, let's stay home! I think I will be able to handle those fireworks, 'cause being with Sadie and Dewey and Milo and Norman on New Year's Eve was a zoo!!"   ;D ;D ;) ;) :-*

We had a good New Years Eve last night...
MIL made Vegetable Beef Soup and I brought my Chili w/toppings - friends brought Spinach Artichoke Dip with bread - chilled jumbo shrimp - also many deserts - Apple, Pumpkin, and Cherry pie - Peanut Butter-rice crispy bars - Hawaiian rolls - assorted cookies/candy - and Non-alcohol sparkling juice.  We all ate too much.  Got in 2 games of cards - lost the first and won the second.

Every thing was cleaned up and all left by 9:30   :o - when the host is 85 you just don't make it to midnight ::)

TIG   Watching the Vikings/Packers - more exciting than the Bears earlier  LOL

LISA   Pretty AM pic  :)   I think that recipe is pretty much no fail!!!  Which type of rib did you use?  I would make it.

HI PAULIE  ;D  Happy New Year to you as well.

PINK   Kenzie - tonsil surg? and now strep - A lot on her plate  :-* :-*   Glad you got out last night with friends and had a good time.

LANI   You pack a lot in to each day!  :)   I suspect those "foreign" smells will linger for a while in dogs noses   ;) ;)   I agree with your reflective comment.  Not only have we learned A LOT in the wild life kingdom but also a lot has happened in our lives and it is nice to have the support of friends.  :-*

SSRL   Nice shot from MNDNR   I enjoy Thomas Demma

KB   Who ever gets Scott's bike will be in heaven.  Perfect that you kept it for an occasion - you didn't know at the time  - would arrive.  :-*

BAZI   Zippo says thank you Mom for my wonderful b-day  ;)

T40  I think it is another eagle  LOLOL

OLDGUY   What a great potluck  I would have been stuffed too.  ::)  and also home by 9:30  LOL

Forgot to post this last Friday..1,000 pieces  3 weeks

Lani - Reading your post, and laughing!  I can just see the drama with the dogs going on.  ;D  I am glad that everything is all back to normal today. 

Pink - Good to see you....(http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/new-year/happy-new-year-smiley-emoticon-4.gif) (http://www.sherv.net/)  Good luck to Kenz with her tonsil surgery. 

T40 - You have a great imagination...kid in a fat snowsuit!  ;D ;D

baz - Happy Bird Day to Zippo!!!

oldguy - Your NYE spread sounded delish!

tsk - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the puzzle!

kb & tsk - The ribs and sauerkraut was delicious.  Now, you all know I am a recipe follower, so followed it exactly.  I used 4 - bone-in country-style ribs, and Granny Smith Apples for tart apples in the sauerkraut.  I baked it for 2 hours uncovered, and the ribs were so tender you could cut them with your fork.  I am not a sauerkraut fan, but I have to say, it was very good, and Jeff ate two helpings.

Decorah North Eagles - January 1, 2023   Thank You! Carol Fowler Marshburn for sharing with us! ❤
____________________________________________________________________
DNF: “It’s a new year, sweetheart! Just checking to see if you still have your honey do list and your ear plugs are put away.”
Mr. North: “Yes, honey! I told you yesterday that I would not use them (most of the time). Plus, my honey do list is right here.”
DNF: “I am happy that you have been working so hard this morning, sweetheart. I am just nervous that the nest won’t be ready, and you know how I am about that.
So I will still be keeping my eye on you!”  All will be fine as they make a great team. Now the long countdown to egg laying. Eggs are normally laid here starting mid
February through the 3rd week.

Eagles4 - sure does sound like you are enjoying your retirement... ;)

well, I was happy to hear the announcer during the Vikes game say something like this:
The Vikings play very well...and in this game they are doing everything the opposite of what they usually do.

Perhaps the understatement of the season....I actually gave up at half time, other than peaking back in a bit..

Hoping to get a walk with Ollie in before the snow starts tomorrow...

Happy New Year

Puff and I made arrangement to meet Saturday. I picked her up at her hotel in downtown LA. It was the same hotel I had been to for dinner on the evening of my high school prom. The restaurant was at the top of the building and made one revolution per hour. I don’t think it does that anymore. But I digress.  We cause of the weather we decided to just drive around and see some of the sights. The site we saw were Hollywood Blvd, and she could see some of the “stars” on the side walks, the hand and foot prints in front of Graumans Chinese Theater, and then on to Laurel Canyon so she could see some of the homes built on the hillsides.  Unfortunately, the clouds were hiding the Hollywood sign.  Then we headed over to Griffith Park and drove past the Greek Theater and on to the Observatory. That was shrouded by fog/clouds and we we just barely able to see the outline of the building. We drove through another area of nice home and then down to Sunset Blvd. and to our lunch spot at the Farmers Market.  We had a nice lunch at Dupar’s. It is an iconic, L.A. standard.  After lunch we headed back to her hotel. I think I wore her out.   

We’ve ordered good weather for the parade.  A break from the rain we had overnight and what is coming later this coming week.  I think these storms will be moving East for your enjoyment (just kidding).

All the best to everyone for a healthy and happy new year.

This is from Ft St Vrain!!!

So I have some INCREDIBLE information to share. Thanks to the immaculate records kept by RS Joe Pinner on the early years of the nest cam. In these records you can see in 2004 2 FSV eaglets were banded. The smaller of the two banded as yellow band BJ weighing 5.95lbs
WELL, during CPWs study on Bald Eagles Along Colorados Front Range which began in 2001 this FSV eagle was captured and is part of the same study as FSV44. As suspected by size at banding this eagle is male, his hatch day would be 3/28/2004 making him 18 years old at this time. His nest is approximately 21 miles away from FSV. He’s a breeding adult so has a mate and likely offspring of his own.
Here is more information on the 4 year study.
Thanks to Dr Reesa Conrey for sharing this updated information.

Phyl - The Ruben sammies with black-eyed peas on the side, and a salad sounds delish!  Cute doggie shames!  Wow, the spider web sculpture is awesome. 

weasel - What a great pic of you and Puff, and what a great tour guide you are in showing her L.A.! I am taking notes of the places, in case I ever get out that way. 

Puff - Hope you are enjoying your time in CA, and at the parade.

Lani - Hope you didn't get too much snow.  Cute good night pic.

kb & tsk - Yes, the recipe is definitely a keeper.  :)

clynn - Thanks for the beautiful pics from DNN & Decorah from SueB.

E4E - Sounds like you had a great NYE!

tsk - Thanks for the FSV info!!!

35 right now, high today of 40 with rain pretty much all day...

tsk, hard to believe it's 2023... seems like yesterday it was 2000... Are you working on a puzzle? And have you found the piece you dropped a few weeks ago? ;D Great news on the FSV eagle!

Phyl, love the night pictures, both of the eagles might be there, one behind the branch! HD and HM seem like such a loving couple of newlyweds! Good shames, wedding cake my favorite! Beautiful ice spider web! Oh, just read your latest post, looks like maybe the eagles were both on the branch! They like sleeping close to each other...

weasel, what a packed afternoon of sightseeing! Would surely wear me out! Hoping for good weather for the parade so you can really enjoy!

Lani, SNOW! I bet it's beautiful in your forest, wish I could see it!

Welcome to Des Moines - This isn’t just the most amazing room in Iowa, but one of the most amazing rooms in the entire world. The Iowa Law Library located in our Capitol is truly a special place.

Hi Clynn good AM photos today.  Lovely snowy forest. Thanks for the awesome Des Moines Law library photo.  :o

Lani guess I missed the part in your post about 'snow' I bet it's gonna be pretty. Be careful out there


Maggie's getting worse in her hind legs--weaker and doesn't jump on my chair at the desk to snooze or sleep with us. Just nestles herself in the bottom room of
her kitty kondo.  And, when she's invited to join me  she jumps up and follows.
 I'm gonna be looking at some steps for our bed anyway as she loves the blanket in the winter and she's just the sweetest cuddler year round. In mean time I'll just keep lifting her where she wants to be and increase the Cosequin from 1/2 to 1 cap daily. Hoping for success!

Weasel - Love the pic of you & Puff - you are a great 'host'.  So nice that you drove Puff to lots of fun & interesting places - very awesome!!!! ;D

Puff - So happy you are having a fun weekend and I am looking forward to the parade that starts in less than an hour! ;D

Kb - Love the cat vid and the fact that Ollie does the same thing Lol!! ;D

Tsk - Good to know T&B arrived at their destination safe & sound and are probably already settled in! :)

Phyl - Awe, you are the best mama for Maggie  :-* :)

LisaG - I'm sure you will be tuning into tv for the parade - hope we see Puff wave at us!

Clynn, beautiful Iowa Law Library, love the aroma of books.  ;D

Lisa, we got about 4 inches of snow, and it seems to be slowing down. Very slushy underneath the top layer.

Tsk, thanks for awesome update from Ft. St. Vrain.

Phyl, thanks for shames... I can see Decorah pair in both pics... and there's The Norths ... Fun Jello puzzle.... Hugs and prayers for Maggie  :-*

Kb, beautiful spider web sculpture... it's a cat's world  ;D

Weasel, Puff! What a lovely photo of you and Puff! It's wonderful to see the two of you together and having a great time! You're awesome host! Talons crossed for great weather for the parade! Love to you both  :-*

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D


E4E and Lisa, Zippo thanks you for the birdthday wishes!  :D

Lisa, those were pork ribs? Sounds yum.

Tsk, LOL, Zippo wants to extend her birdthday into today - she is waiting on more of her birdthday treats! LOL. Yay for your puzzle!

Phyl, mmm, I love Reuben sandwiches!  Do you prefer them made with corned beef, or with pastrami?  I used to always ask for my Reuben to be pastrami, but went with corned beef the last couple of times I had one. They're yummy either way! Maggie says, "Thanks for the lift, Mom!"  :)  :-*  I used to lift my senior poodle up and down from her favorite wing-back chair after arthritis made her too stiff and sore to get up and down from it on her own. She was a Standard Poodle, so she was an armful. LOL.  :-*

Lani, I bet the snow is pretty in the woods and around your home. Oh, wowow! on that gorgeous Elk roaming the snowy hills around Prescott!! What a fabulous photo! It would make a great greeting card or calendar photo!

Clynn, that's a beautiful snowy woods scene. I can hear the snow-muffled quiet, with only the light sound of that babbling brook.  The Iowa Law Library is stunning!!

Weasel and Puff, what a great picture of you two!! Thanks for sharing!  :D  Weasel, I think Puff can name you an official Tour Guide now, too. With her background in travel, she knows a good one when she sees one!  ;)

Puff, I looked for you in the stands at the Rose Parade, but the shots of the stands I saw were too distant to make out details. I know you were waving though!  ;)  Sooo glad you got a bright day - no rain - for the parade! Which is "Never on a Sunday." That is such a great parade... I just love seeing all the dressed up horses and riders... so fancy!

Weasel, the driving tour you and Puff took put me in reminisce mode! It's been a little more than 30 years since I've driven those same roads... wish you all had better visibility yesterday - especially for the views from Laurel Canyon, and Griffith Observatory... and the Hollywood sign, of course. What a nice get-together and outing!


Enjoy your day, Beakers, and stay safe and warm.  :)

PHYL   Cool puzzle but don't think it would be too hard????  Of course I say that just by looking at it which can be a big mistake  LOL  Hope the increased dosage helps. :-*

KB   LOLOL  That cat was so funny and so true!!!

LANI   Prescott = Preskitt - Never new that!!!  Elk is majestic  :o   In my head I always guess what the cost will be.  Sometimes Tim and I see who can come closest.  I tend to think more $$ than it comes out to be. ;) ;)

Boy, it's a jungle out there in the suburban city streets...

I just returned from a walk with Ollie.

in my 70 years have never encountered this before: In the first few blocks on a hill noticed a squirrel in the middle of the road...As we got closer it didn't run away but rather, hopped closer to us, once again almost to a few feet in front of me and Ollie...I actually kicked my leg out....and, nothing...he was actually stalking us..
So, huffed to the other side of the road and scurried down the hill.....as I could I looked back and there it sat still in the middle of the road....eventually about 2 blocks away it scampered into a yard.

I think it must have been sick...oh and I googled do squirrels get rabies, and contrary to some yes they can..
Oh, and Ollie is vaccinated against rabies, but I'm Not!..

The road down the hill was so slippery from melting ice as well, the hill on the way home was dry.

I think this will be our last walk for awhile....still predicting about 10 plus inches in the days to come.

I looked but didn't see Puff...anyone else?

oh and tsk - i got an e mail this am from the woman who requested the bike for someone else...she said he said your words...."he was in heaven" and my words "the bike rides like a dream"..
Must have been meant to be.
A neighbor oiled it and filled the tires and away he went to work...he bikes to work...a good bike for this too:
An older Specialized Mountain bike.

baz - Those were pork country-styled ribs. 

tsk - Can't wait to see the kitty puzzle all finished. 

kb - Oh my, 10 inches!

Kb 'It's a cat's world..." so funny. Thanks.  Take care out there in the snow and ice.  Such nice results on Scott's bike.  ;)

Eagles I thought I might see Puff, too.  But, I was watching the TV in the kitchen as I worked. So---

Lani lovely elk; 4" is a goodly bit of snow, glad the fall is slowing; good luck with the grout repair

Baz I've never had a Ruben w/ pastrami---always been a Ruben  with corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing, buttered and grilled in skillet till crispy. The other just been Pastrami on Rye.  If I recall you're a petite gal and lifting a Standard Poodle is no small feat. The definition of 'love'.

Tsk with your puzzle skills I thought the Jell-O would be a 'piece of cake'.  Yes. You must post the 'kitty puzzle' when completed.
 The Cosequin sprinkles work pretty fast---as you may know--- so Mags is doing some better. Plus I now make it a big deal when she hops in and out of the furniture. Me jumping up and down and cheering. And, all the kissess between the eyes. Still I been looking at the bed steps---something pretty to compliment my Jenny Lind  four poster  cherry  bedroom.  Jim wants more 'cake cookies'. LOL

Oldguy thanks for Dolly and Miley's show link---I'd stay up late to watch her any might. Good news for the Rose Bowl; Those crazy Minions. Maru and gang seem to really enjoy their NY's toys

Lani - Beautiful pic you posted from a friend!

Baz - I too thought about trying to see Puff in the crowd, but as you said, it was the distance factor, and it was always just a split second on the crowds!  I'm sure Zippo had a nice birthday!

Kb - Wow, how different about the squirrel's behavior!  I agree - hold off walking until it is safe - sounds unsteady/dangerous.  Stay safe & inside  ;D

Oldguy - Thanks for posting link for the parade - I watched and I really enjoyed  ;D :)

Phyl - I tried to watch Dolly & Miley on NYE, but BIL kept us occupied talking about all kinds of things!   Like the wild turkey pics  :)

Tig - If you watched the parade this morning, did you see the NASCAR float?  I somehow missed it (maybe during commercials)?!  I didn't even know about the float until I clicked on news clips when I signed onto my pc a little while ago!

Puff & Weasel - Again, I just have to say it was a beautiful pic of you both and thanks for posting! :)

I watched and very much enjoyed the Rose parade this morning, but my only complaint is that we had way too many commercials  :o ::)

Looked up  your words  'commotio cordis'---here's what I found:   https://www.bing.com/search?q=commotio+cordis+definition&qs=FT&pq=commotio+cordis%3f&sc=10-16&cvid=86ADE2BE46A9446086714F5AD9188629&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=1 (https://www.bing.com/search?q=commotio+cordis+definition&qs=FT&pq=commotio+cordis%3f&sc=10-16&cvid=86ADE2BE46A9446086714F5AD9188629&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=1) Medical term for what I thought.

Tsk, I wish it was a plumbing problem  :-\ They could have gone through the closet wall and that would be easily repaired.... But now, the tile shower floor, 12"of wall tile and the door frame has to be replaced. I need to find tile to match or mix with. The bedroom closet on the other side of the bathroom wall; I'm going to sand and re-stain the closet baseboards, and they will put down new carpet padding/wood slates and set the carpet back in. They think after that I can get someone to clean it and it'll look fine. It's going to be hard to find a match for these tiles. Builder didn't use regular bathroom tiles, he used floor tiles that matches throughout the home. Haven't received cost yet.  :-\

Oldguy, thanks for the Dolly/Miley video link... worrying weather in LA....

Phyl, Decorah North Wild Turkeys!  ;D

{{{Kb}}} take care ... just read your post about Damar Hamlin, I went to read any update, so sad. Prayers for this young man, family ... videos of the tea... prayers for all.

Eagles, I wasn't able to watch the parade today. I was busy shoveling snow off the driveway  :-\

Good night!

Lani, bathroom issues are the worst!  We had to have work done in Kelsey's bathroom this summer, her bathtub was leaking down to the kitchen below. They had to cut a hole in the kitchen ceiling and her bedroom wall. Turned out to be the drain, they had to replace a part of it. About $2,000. That's a bummer about the tiles...take a picture of the tiles and send it to me. I wll search with Google lense, and maybe find something like it!  The snowy forest picture I posted yesterday was taken in Payson, is there snow in the forest now?

35 and raining right now, I think it rained all night... 42 high today, then in the 30's for a few days.

Phyl, sweet good night sailboat... Those turkey pictures are great! Love your good morning pic, looks like a Williraye piece! Thanks for the News and Nestflix!

KB/TIG  hang in there..  KB  Had not heard that story about Hamlin.  Too bad things like that happen Prayers for him.

LANI   What a major project.  Wow.  Since I can't quite picture the problem exactly, would a contrasting tile work?  Do you have a tile store "near" you? .    What a way to kick off the new year  :o  ::)  Good night photo, cute..

I don't understand this... :D

Snow has started in earnest here...big heavy flakes....at times today we may get more than 2 inches an hour..Obviously I'm in for the day...other than to keep my 2 back doors open from snow...otherwise I can't open them from inside....one is a large swinging screen door, the other a typical walk out basement storm plus indoor door...Interestingly, the kids in the neighborhood are being picked up by bus....

This is sweet.....Ollie man is not so sneaky....he just goes for the human face and kisses!

Early this morning on January 3rd 2023 at 08:02:20am, the first pip was seen  when M15 got up to reposition himself on the eggs! Pip pip hooray! This is the the first official view of the pip - it actually occurred earlier, but we have no way of knowing of the actual time it broke through the shell. Hatch time will be when the chick is "out" of the shell. Congratulations to Harriet and M15 and to all the viewers on this very exciting day as we wait to welcome E21 into the world! Thank you for watching!

.. It's going to be hard to find a match for these tiles. Builder didn't use regular bathroom tiles, he used floor tiles that matches throughout the home. Haven't received cost yet.  :-\

Lani take a peek around the dark recesses of your house. ie basement/garage/crawl space/attic/closets etc ..
Sometimes a builder will have an open/extra box of tile left at the end of the job and leave it behind for future tile repairs.

Pip and I just cleaned out her parents house and found an unopened box of tile buried on the floor in the back of a linen closet.
It was a good deal because there was a cracked tile right in the middle of the master bath's floor .. removed and replaced.  :)

Lori, OMG! I love the kitten fight club action going on!! LOL! Delicious morning goodies. I wish I wasn't on a diet for my yearly checkup next Friday. 

Eagles, Al Roker did a good job, miss him... Enjoy your time at the salon. I go next week Friday, after my yearly checkup. ... looks like another two inches of snow so far today, and it's pouring down right now. You take care.

BL, Great find for you and Pip!!  ;D Thanks for suggestion, we've hunted and hunted, and now I'm staring at the kitchen cupboards I had built over the breakfast room area. There's tile under them there cupboards!! LOL!! As well as Clynn's suggestion of the stove and refrig.

Tsk, Floor repairman said, tile is no longer available. It's not a regular bathroom tile, it's a floor tile that was used throughout the home. I'm going to try and match with the black granite bathroom counter. I'll send you a pm with a pic. There is only one floor repair shop in our area. Otherwise you have to use a company in the valley, and they tack on cost of traveling. When you live in a small town such as ours, finding a repairman is a problem.  :)

Phyl, thanks for RRP update, pretty pic of The Norths. Take care during weather warning.

Clynn, it's been snowing this morning. We walked anyway, not too slippery, saw a coyote run across the street and it set Sadie, Dewey and our friend's dog Molly to go nuts. I didn't realize that picture of the snowy forest stream was from Payson. That's just the way it looked yesterday and it continues today. I'll take a pic of the tile and pm it to you. This tile is throughout our home. It's been a difficult bathroom tile, because it doesn't react well to regular bathroom tile cleaners. I've not been pleased with it. But, oh well. Whoever buys this house will probably replace all the tile anyway.  :).  nice Decorah pics, they were together last night too. sweet  :)

Clynn, love the Lemur Security System!!  ;D :-*

BrokenLug - That is so true about contractor's leaving extra stuff.  When we had out roof re-done I want to say they left like 2 or 3 extra boxes of shingles.

Uuf, can't see the water tower anymore....across the street.
Heavy bands for hours now....ice/sleet as well.

Had to coax Ollie man out to the back as it had been well over 12 hours since he'd gone potty.
Success...
For some odd reason he knows (from the dark of the basement).....and has stayed in bed all morning long, other than when I coaxed him outside....There he will stay most likely the rest of the day!

LANI  Good idea of extra tile behind frig/oven.

CLYNN  and we can't blame the different tiger colors on the mailman  LOL  Must have a lot to do with dominant and recessive genes

SWFL Eagles ~ WE HAVE A PIP!! Hatch Is In Progress! 😊 💕 1.3.23
https://youtu.be/eePOrGV0kFs via LADYHAWK

Early this morning on January 3rd 2023 at 08:02:20am, the first pip was seen  when M15 got up to reposition himself on the eggs! Pip pip hooray! This is the the first official view of the pip - it actually occurred earlier, but we have no way of knowing of the actual time it broke through the shell. Hatch time will be when the chick is "out" of the shell. Congratulations to Harriet and M15 and to all the viewers on this very exciting day as we wait to welcome E21 into the world! Thank you for watching!

Wonderful news from Lady Hawk. Great snap as well.  We're all on a hatch watch.

I've been taking down Christmas decorations.  I've cleared the hall from garage to kitchen, lavatory and kitchen plus the dinning room. That's all packed ready for storage. Had some breakfast. Then went to work on the Christmas tree. All the decorations are off  and packed and tucked in the storage tubs. Now Jim has to put te lights up as I laid then accross the back of his LazyBoy so he's have to deal with them and packing the tree before he can watch TV. Then we haul the tree bag up stairs to guest room closet. That' leave s the greenry over the entry to dinningroom and the stair rails for tomorrow. Poof! ---finished.   The Nativity will get packed on Friday 6th---Epiphany.



Dear Lori This is the only place we're posting until Ms. Falcon makes the change over. Oh those goodies!  ::)  Thanks; Luv that Wild Heart Ranch masked critter.

Lisa many thanks for the coffee t his AM.

Eagles Hope your salon appt went well. 

Kb just barely see the water tower for the fog and clouds; Good for Ollie on the 'pee break'. Cute pup edging his way to a 'kiss'

Phyl - no fog......all snow..

A guy trying to get up the hill a half a block from my house, lives across the street, couldn't get up...so he did the wrong thing: up down, up down, spinning his tires...and started his car on fire! 1:30 pm
Other delivery vans can't get up my street....

I bet that intersection after the fire department came to put the fire out of that car is an icy mess ;)

Lesson: don't spin your tires in MN snowstorms....LOL.

We are just in phase 1.....phase 2 to come tonight and all day tomorrow.

Looking out from our deck onto the retention pond below. Almost at cresting. If one looks very closely, can just
see the high water in the creek below the retention pond. Normally the creek is an oversized trickle.

Hello Beakers

WE got to 46 today - have had about 1/3 inch of rain since yesterday - it has been a very damp/slight fog day.  The next 10 day forecast keeps us under 40 for all days, with 20s for lows - almost all the piles of snow have melted from last week.

so far same here...then the ice came...my composite front steps are solid ice.
Andrew is supposed to come tonight as the city plows came by and dumped snow like you wouldn't believe but my piles on the end of my driveway just let it spill over.

Had to watch both of my neighbors must have thought I'm a chump..southside guy's snow blower blew his driveway into my gardens...that's the trouble when you build  a driveway up to or only a foot off the property line dingbat...
I yelled at him to stop.

Northside neighbors blew all their driveway into the street after the plows cleaned the streets and some on my driveway.

Am crossing my fingers Andrew will plow the da#n stuff back....when he comes tonight.

Otherwise I've done nada....all tomorrow and thursday.

Phyl, wow, your retention pond is full! Enjoy your sun today!

Lani, you find the sweetest sleeping critters...

E4E, yes, I will have Bella today!  It's been too long since we were gone the last 2 Wednesdays! I won't have Talon until school is out, he is in 2nd grade. Bella will start kindergarten in August, and there goes my Munchkin Wednesdays... I will have to think of other things to do with them!  I love catching up with Theresa, who has cut/permed my hair for almost 25 years now, it's so relaxing just to sit there and do nothing...

Well an impressive amount of snow/ice out back before the sun comes up...
I saw on camera Andrew did the driveway around 530am and snowing lots more since.

Airport reported 5.4 inches yesterday....and another 3-5 today and another 1 or so tonight

I guess I know what I'll be doing today...at least some of the back decks...upper deck looks to be getting pretty heavy especially.

Lani - We are getting some light showers right now,  but heavier rain coming in tonight - how about your area?   I didn't get a hair cut - just a color touch up on my gray roots. ;)

BL  :)

Tig - I bet it is beautiful out there - but not if you have to shovel!

Puff - Home safe & sound? :)  Looking forward to hearing something about your trip  ;D

Phyl - Oh no - thunderstorms for you last night :o ::)  Like the Decorah pics and cute deer frolicking!

Clynn - Hopefully stay in and warm  :)   Have fun with Bella today - I bet you both will have a super day since its been a couple of weeks! ;D  Like the pics this morning!  :)

LisaG - It always seems to take longer to pack up the Christmas decorations than setting them out - awe, Bandit happy to have his living room space back! ;D

Kb - Beautiful blue cattle dog pic!  :)   Wow, your hot tub - be careful out there - wish you would get some melting soon.

Tsk - Brrr - cold temp for you - hope it is a stay at home day!   We have 44 this morning - later a high of 59. 

Hi Lori, Baz, Oldguy, T40, Pink, Blschue, Lilbro, Paulie, Eburg, BgGolden, Ssrl  :)

Everyone stay warm & dry and take care.

LOL....in almost an hour I just got the screen door open up top....and a foot or so more to the rails..

This ol lady doesn't want to get a heart attack so will attack the lower door and a path for Ollie later.

Watching a young woman stuck across the street trying to dig herself out...she's in the driveway entrance. A smallish sedan. And she's spinning her wheels...don't do that!
Looking at me in the window, like I should help!...Na...look for some of the younger men in your building or next door to me will ya!

More importantly, don't drive anything other than a 4wheel drive, an SUV, truck in the Tundra please...at least in the winter.... ;)

Good one oldguy!

Wish Scott was here with one of his two Fords...he had a F350 and F250 with plow...and he taught me how to plow in it..dang....

I just can't do it...only got the one path off the top and bottom decks.
Later I may try my electric snow pup on lower deck...?
Avalanche the roofs?....we shall see.
It's still snowing

No bounce
Bro is on his way... eventually. Never made it last night due to freezing mist. I went out for 1.5 hrs. this a.m. and reshoveled the path on the north to check on the furnace exhaust and discovered the cover had fallen off again. Grr. Need to fix that more permanently in the Spring. Also reshoveled the patios and path to the other fence gate. Camper will need to go that way to get the path around the house to the front snow blown because the neighbors 30 foot high bush is overladen with snow and blocking our other path. Grr. I then did the walk and a path along both fences at the driveway and moved the garbage and recycling out of the drive.
As I was shoveling in between the houses a couple of birds flew past my head so close I could hear and feel the wing flaps!
Feet up. Breakfast on board. Sigh. We love it here. ?
TTFN
I just checked the NWS map... it says we have received 10.5 inches in our neighborhood, so far. Another 2-3 expected today.  :(

I have returned.  It was fantastic.

I just spent 5 hours reading through 12/30 - 1/3 postings.  First, I'm going to have breakfast, then give my return postings/answers to those, next have lunch, then give my other thoughts and reports and roundup.  That should end around sunset.

But first let me explain my very first post "WE ARE". . . .At the Penn State gatherings when someone with the urge, and a loud enough yell feels like it, they yell WE ARE and the surrounding crowd retorts PENN STATE. This is repeated 3-4 times until the yeller has their fill.  Then the instigator yells "THANK YOU" to which the others yell/answer "YOU'RE WELCOME"  What a hoot it is.

I felt dissed - no one answered me.  Hence this long explanation.

I Will Be Back.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Lilbro, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, BL, Lori, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, ssrl, Maxie, and All![/b]

Kb, goodness that's a lot of snow on your patio!  :o

Lori, wonderful to see little SWFL newbie making it's way out of it's warm egg.  :-*

Oldguy, cool jeep, I bet that's used up in our area.

Lisa, I'm going to take down our Christmas things down a few days at a time. I used that bedroom closet next to Aly's bathroom to store our Christmas tree and boxes. The bedroom is full of some of Aly's storage now. I'm mentally working on how to get it organized for long term, without the use of the closet.

Eagles, it's a gorgeous morning, it's 38 and suppose to warm up to mid-40's. Snow melted on the roads so it was a nice morning walk with Sadie. Though she couldn't stop wanting to stick her nose in the snow for a long sniff. LOL! But, there are dark clouds coming from the northwest. I better check with Ryan Hall y'all!  ;) You have a good day!  ;D

Tsk, love your morning gif  ;D

Clynn, pretty nest updates. I can't believe how fast time has gone by, Miss Bella will be in school soon.

Hi Puff!  ;D

I did shovel him a short path but geesh.....he's still lounging on the bed....one pee try earlier in the am befoe I shoveled.

OLDGUY   LOL  Car for KB.  Could be worth the price  LOL   LOLOL  Beakers  Rah Rah.

KB  Sure way to have a mild winter would be to buy the Jeep OLDGUY Posted  LOL

TIG  this is truly some winter you are having.  I think you will win the prize at the end of winter  ;) ;) :o ::)

PUFF    LOL  "We are"  Guess you got to be there... ;D

LANI    What a beautiful remembrance from Lynn of his long time friend Ray.  They will see his mark everywhere.  Sounds like a big organization task to me.  Aly will live there until she starts making some money and then find an apt?

LORI   Nice gif of the pecking.

Lisa good cocoa this  AM; took the last of the evergreen garland down from the stair handrails and packed it all in storage tubs. Sitting on the landing ready
for Jim to carry upstairs

Clynn Decorah annd DNN are the most loving couple

Kb that's some weather rundown  and pile on the hot tub, ditto Tsk. Among first things dad taught me about driving a vehicle was never spin your wheels  ;)
Tks for the snowfall map for your area. Gosh!
[/b]
Tsk your frog this AM is the 'most', LOL

Eagles your temps are in our ballpark, with all that rain and these warm temps those blasted weeds will rise their ugly heads.

Tig Gosh! the snow for you two.  Pls don't over do shoveling . glad your brother is going to make it to your place this time. Hope all goes well

kb  - That's ALOT of snow  :o

tsk - I have only used cinnamon sticks in one of DIY's on Pinterest for making your home smell good.  I have never thought about using it in cocoa.

E4E - Yes, and Jeff says, every time he is in the attic...In the Spring we are cleaning this attic out.   ;D  We never do!

oldguy -  ;D kb's winter jeep!

Lori - Thank you for the SWFL update!!!!!!

Lani - Oh no, I hope you can find storage for your stuff, since you will be with one less closet for a bit.

Now have put this in various channels, I think all, old and new.  I didn't know about Amy being busy behind the scenes switching things around.  This is found also in new Beakroom 2023.

Replies since MIA 12/30
13 pages of postings -  hope I didn't miss anyone.

E4E   Almost had clear weather.  Some drizzles off and on.  One big, long rain    started during RB game.  Smaller rains intermittent 1/31 and 1/1, but then    they needed rain, just not a cyclone.  Sounds like what is happening now is      not going to be good.
   Parade 10x  better that it appears; nothing but fun.

Lani   2 1/2 hours of so much to enjoy. Even the crowd becomes part of the    show.     Yes, I got a ticket to see the game - had a ticket in hand after many
   tries, 50 yard line.   About 20 rows up from field, at the level lower/high    break in tiers.   Great spot especially for short and ADA problems. Finally    cleared with ticket in hand after start of 1st quarter.  It wasn't easy but    finally cleared it off the buckett list of this ole lady.  List is shrinking!  'We    Are' chant is amazingly fun.

Two tours of southern CA and lots of LA.  Weasel (sorry to spill the beans Weasel)
gave me a grand area tour, 3-4 hours one-on-one, favorites.  She showed me lots of reminising favorites and close personal places and memories.
I now hope to get caught up on un-organizing Christmas, business, and personal obligations so I can spend hours going back through pics.
Loved the tour, and love you.  Thanks Weasel.

PHYL   Can honestly say - Rain, what rain?  Nothing ever bothered anyone in the glorious 4 days had by thousands.  Make that thousands + one. ME!

Met Avis and hubby from Saint Paul at our first get-together dinner orientation.   Coincidently, she  sat next me at the very same table.  And, would you  believe, she is also a travel advisor.  Same age, loved football.  AND - she is a silent percher of RRP!  I told her she now needs to come to ATF and meet our group.
See, we travel people know who to go for the best for the $ and fun.

Side of LA I got to saw:  Not the same as NY or Chgo.  Not roads in straight lines, criss-crossing with other straight lines.  So much you don't know until you are there.  Lots of hills and curves to get to the next destination.  Businesses, downtown, residential clandestinely hidden away in forests, hills, valleys, curves , even the freeways curve and go up and down.  I found smooth rolling on the roads even when there was an influx of fans being added to a BIG, busy city.  Not like my area.  And it is fast driving always.  Beautiful homes and areas. hidden and snuggled again into equally beautiful flora.  Low ceiling and fog again meant no up-close-and-personal opportunity to see HOLLYWOOD sign.  Guess I'll have to go back again some day to add that to my LA experience.  Tee Hee

Clynn    Loved your reminder post of our much more special childhood.  How do    we share and pass that on to the "new generations"?  They have so much    these days -- but have missed so much.  I do remember!

   Nibi the beaver's adorable -- beaver doing what beavers have to do.  It is    like an eaglet's poop shoot!  It's natural; how do they know how , how to    they even think of doing the process.

OG   I will definitely go back to view Dolly's highwomen vid.
   Had a serious chuckle at the end of the cat house -- seriously?  Great fun.

Lori   Always tears with Diva's Goodbye tour at N1.

LisaG  Of course Dolly looks good.  Has good genes, lots of money, good doc, and    lots of pain and rehab time.  She can't help look good but then she goes    through lots  more to not the way she looks/looked.  Love her talent and    her life's story.

Clynn   Have at it!!   I dub the red velvet cheesecake dessert of the year 2023!

Lani   WOW - Pic of Pope and Pele, not that long ago either.

Worst part of RB trip--Singing Ole Lang Syne at midnight without Ton.

Phyl   Funniest post - Cat playing catch the owner's package -- what a hoot!

KB   Apology - I did miss GB/Vike game.  Was busy for some reason.  :)  Who    won?

T40   Two favs for sure--Dog giving pup bigger piece   and    beaver's doorstop.

OG   Wow!   Good going 21-0.  I  seem to have missed some good games     Sorry   -     Not sorry.

Lani   Australia celebration always a good show.  Can't/Won't put that on my    bucket list.  Much too long a bus ride.     LOL

E4E   Always being thought of and remembered by you; always a deep warm    feeling.  Too bad we couldn't make contact.  Next time?! And maybe even
   get Weasel to join in.

Pink   Missed the parade! Terrible thing! I'll give you a private blow by blow    and answer questions.

KB   I'm confused who missed the parade, you or Pink?  They switched the day    of both the parade and game.?  I'm confused now.

   I didn't know Zippo's birthday is Jan 1.  For real?  or Designated?

But I was so easy to spot.   Not at parade but at the game.  Utah side was white or red tops.  I was on the PSU side white and/or dark blue.  On game day in a rush I accidently put on rain coat to reverse side.  Usually on black side with floral cuffs and hood.  Game  time it was on reverse all floral Monet side.  For that reason , if not the field-size side, I would be the blooming flowers in the sea of blue.  And no one saw me? Ummmph.

Have I overstayed my welcome?  Twenty lashes with a wet noodle!

Good Evening Beakers! Bella and I had a fun day today! Play-doh, painting, creating, music playing (she loves Girls just wanna have fun...), stickers, and Ah-pad. No Barbies or Babies today! I have a couple of pictures Erin sent me of what Santa brought them for Christmas in addition to a few from today...  The last picture is Kelsey with Karen, Greg's new dachshund. He has another one named Juanita! This is where Ed and Kelsey go every Wednesday. And a couple of pictures of the Furkids!

Puff, sounds like you had a wonderful time at the game and especially with the friends! Great that you got another one off your bucket list! ( I have not touched the red velvet cheese cake yet....saving for a special occasion!

Lisa, great shot of HM gathering nesting material! Look at all those corn husks and stalks! Ha, we are always vowing to clean out our crawl space every spring, have said so for the last 10-12 years...  ::) ::)

Lori, I see the beak at SWFL, thanks for keeping us updated!  I just took a look and per the chat Harriet has not given anyone a look so far!

Phyl, we had a dusting of snow when I got up this morning, it didn't melt at all today except on the main roads.

Lani, I have been working on getting the Christmas stuff put away. I did what I could knowing Bella would be here today, tomorrow I can get it all ready to go to the crawl space (the same crawl space we keep saying we are going to clean in the spring...  ::) ::)  Thanks for the Bear updates, I always love reading them.

Black Eagle Project Roodekrans
Our first official Monitoring for 2023 and the Eagles are doing just fine. This is their “Rest Period”, but by March they will one again be preparing the Nest for the new breeding season. Sorry I don’t have a photo of the Eagles for you, so I decided to post this one which I took on my mobile phone. I was standing casually watching the Eagles above when five Egyptian Geese flew from the Waterfall and landed approximately 20 meters from me. They all waddled towards me and made themselves comfortable right by me. I had to wonder whether or not they felt a little more secure close to me while the Eagles were flying above. They waddled off after about a half hour or so. I will post new photos of the Eagles as soon as I’m able to get the very latest. Have a pleasant 2023. The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens is absolutely beautiful this time of the year.

Love her coloring and she is warming up very quickly after hiding in the basement for over 3 hours when we first got her home and into her litter box.  Still hasn't eaten or peed.  Wonder where she will sleep tonight!

Clynn thanks for the photos of Bella and Talon ,Kelsey, Honey/Harley. Santa was very nice to the kids. Great family photo. Everyone looks great. 
 Yeah. The Black Eagles may not be that  active right now---but one can see the Rock Hyrax frequently there. The  Egyptian geese---they show up quite frequently at all the cams. I get quite a few snapshots of them , as well as other wildlife, to post in'Other Animal cams'

Puff thanks for sharing your visit to Calif. ; Glad you had a wonderful time at game, parade and visit with friends.

Lisa nice snap of  HM near N2B

Oldguy  cats  and  Kaleidoscope   ;D

Lani - Sad about Ray Thielbar, RIP - Nice tribute.    That is one of the things that is no fun;  stacking & trying to get everything to fit back into the storage shed!  My hubby always says I have too much (Christmas) stuff!   Glad Sadie enjoyed her walk - Lol; had to sniff along the way!

Eagles4 - My younger male neighbor 2 doors up came and helped them...they all got out of their stuckness.
Very funny idea of yours though.

Read tonight we've had 45 inches of snow since Nov29.....our typical whole winter is around 50....we are on our way with just average snowfall the rest of the year to 100 inches, a 30 year record if this continues..
Night all.

Tsk, Congratulations on your new fur baby... Love Lulu, she's beautiful, love her markings. She's already sharing Tim's chair.... Aly has been looking for an apartment or small home to rent that will accept pets since summer. It's expensive, most rentals are now becoming Air B & B, especially in Pine and Star Valley. So, she'll stay here with us until something becomes available... sleep well tonight Tsk, Tim and Lulu  :-*

Clynn, Fun pics today! What a great Christmas Bella and Talon had! Kelsy and pup look adorable, and so does Harley and Honey.  ;D .. love the Princess bed, so cozy, precious pic.  :-* ... A beautiful photo of the  Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens, stunning water fall near the Black eagle's nest. I remember seeing my first Egyptian Goose at Pete's Pond in Mashatu, there was a pair that would arrive every night and stand in the water's edge. Beautiful birds...

Kb, WOW! that's a lot of snow!  :-\

Eagles, I have a lot of Christmas stuff too, it's my favorite time of year. Before we bought a home, I have to be able to imagine where the Christmas tree will be, will Christmas red blend in, and where will I put my Christmas treasures. LOL!  ;D
 
Oldguy, very funny cat/owner video. LOL!!  ;D... the Husky's a talkative fellow! LOL! ... those rescue jeeps are amazing! Those wheels are brilliant, just like tanks.

Lisa, great pic of HM in the field. That's why I'm thinking about how long do I want a Christmas tree standing in the living room  ;D

{{{Hugs Puff}}}, 50 yard line 20 rows up, that is awesome!!👍 ;D  ... I won't be able to make that bus ride to Australia either! LOL!!!

Good night!

Welcome to the world E21 💕😊 - official hatch time is 20:22:42 (8:42pm) It took E21 36 hours 20 minutes and 22 seconds to hatch! https://youtu.be/veiOLZi1TPY via LADYHAWK

Harriet comes back to the nest in the evening to take over incubation duties and M15 will get up and head to the attic. Little E21 is almost hatched at this point - half way out of the shell. About two hours later, Harriet will get up and we get our first peek at the new hatchling -what a blessing and wonderful evening to share E21's hatch live on chat! M15 does not know that E21 has hatched so when he returns in the morning he will be in for a nice surprise! Then time for him to stock the pantry!! What a beautiful sight to watch a new life come into the world and we are all counting our blessings today! We look forward to seeing a pip on egg #2 soon! Thank you for watching!

Lani Your point to make exactly - You have too much tool stuff, or whatever stuff:  old mags, worn out sweats, unused exercise equipment, etc.  We all collect and have favs and we do try and intend to try.  But they bring us joy and comfort and memories.  That's a good thing.  (I now have Ton's room to keep some of my downstair Christmas decorations. How convenient that is.  Tee Hee) 

Great  activity to come back to- E21 at SWFL.  A new family begins.

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog, I love the video, I swear I heard a tea kettle sound from HM...I was wondering why she was so interested in what HD was doing, then I saw her drag the squirrel skin (?) out from where he was! So funny, they are going to be a fun pair to watch! The hyrax is one of the main menu items of the Black Eagles, right? Looks like our Decorah shots are almost identical! I also remember both of those types of school desks! Here is one other one I remember:

E4E, I need to thin out my Christmas decor a bit, if you are like me, I always seem to find a couple of pieces at after Christmas sales...  ::) Glad you enjoy the pictures!

Clynn I'll take the coffee with Lisa'sOreos (luv those); really good Ukraine this AM; That other desk is another I sat at---liked those better.  The Decorah nests are getting snow covered and more snow ahead.  That E21 is a real cutie covered in silvery 'fluff'.
  The ' booted eagle ' or Black Eagle  does feed on the Rock Hyrax  or  Dassie as does  leopards, hyenas, pythons to name a few others.  Black eagles also eat bats, birds and birds eggs, squirrels etc.
Anyway, I think they're cute.

I cannot wait to see the new Decorah Family along with DNN & of course Big Bear!  Gotta go try and shovel.   It rained yesterday morning then turned to ice, then snowed, then last night it drizzled ice/snow, then snowed some more... will be interesting. :)  I just want an excuse to put on my Spyder Jacket and snow pants and boots! ;)  Take care all and be safe!

Thot my bro was gonna shovel me out this a.m. Not. Oh well. I appreciate any time he can help. He prolly had enuf to do to get himself out and to his dental appt. So... I spent a half hour shoveling what the plow left... about 8 x 8 and a foot tall of compacted snow and ice. Now I'm at my appt. ... oil change for car.

We're waiting for shower/tile repairman to return to remeasure shower area again.
He's running an hour behind time.  :-\.
I hope you're having a good day. I'll be back when he's gone and I can let the dogs back out again.

Great news on Damar!
Car was fine...
I had those two... I made it onto the skate board only a couple times. But I used to roller skate in the basement around and round for hours. But then Dad closed in one end under the steps for more storage and added tile to the recreational side. I prolly just graduated to biking in the summer and ice skating in the winter.  8)
Looks like we got 12 - 13 inches in 48 hours. The crew should be here soon to clear our roof.  $$$$

Good Morning Beakers

Woke up to light snow this morning - ended up with about 1 inch of fluffy stuff - we are expecting to only get to 33, so may not get rid of it for awhile.

I did not mention yesterday on the rescue guy in Oregon, that what he posts on YouTube is a free service to the stranded driver - this seems to be a common practice for inner valley between the Rockys and the west cost mountains.  Especially for rescues requiring non-standard recovery vehicles in both the rocky deserts of the south and the snowy areas to the north.

I really really do...we got 15 inches down here, tig...maybe 3 inches more after last night?

I'm actually feeling anger....this too shall pass....

I took over a foot off (heavy) my upper deck before bed last night and woke up to a new cool 3 inches came  down on it.
Andrew hasn't come yet so I can't get out by car so walked for Chris to a store a block away as the crow flies.
As a walker I ran into many roadblocks....the sidewalk between the fire dept and Davannis (next to water tower) was filled with 15 feet of snow....the sidewalks on the main street were not done so I found myself crawling up and over driveway piles (multiple)....returned home the opposite way and was a little better...mostly street walking.
Also ran into 2 very shady characters, one in a car, one walking towards me on un shoveled sidewalk so I quickly jumped out into the street....the hair on the back of my neck was standing up.
Chris followed me on GPS and thought I literally crossed a major road....LOL.

Anyway, Andrew will be here sometime today and am thinking about using my electric snow pup on lower deck and "listen" for scratching noises...on the deck.

More worried about small icicles forming on the back side, corner of house between fascia and gutter..
Had one tiny ceiling leak in 2018 season near area (ice dam?)...Difficult to remove snow off roof in that area.
But, we did fill lots of insulation into the attic, but it's been years now...

Tig - you removing your roof snow?

Tig Re: Damar, I was so relieved to hear that he was neurologically sound. Gee how devastating that would have been for him/family---for anyone for that matter!
Good news on your auto.  Gosh! your roof .  Sure hope it doesn't cost too much.

Oldguy Thanks for reminder, 'Nat'l Bird Day'. And, the links.

Kb So sorry the winters are such a drudge and all.  And,   your driveway  :o.    Good idea Chris keeps a GPS while  you're out like that. Should you get in distress he and rescuers would know where to find you.


Here's more on National Bird Day:

'Bird Day' is the name of several holidays celebrating birds. Various countries observe such a holiday on various dates.

Yep KB. We have to remove the snow from roof here. Good insulation, but, has to to with the roof design, angle of sun, etc.
I can reach most of the lower roof with the snow rake while standing on the ground. It is impossible to reach the top dormer roof however. And my health does not allow me to do as much as years past.
Phyl... the returning customer rate went up this year from $220 to $300/ hour for the first hour, slightly less beyond that.

SWFL Eagles ~ M15 Sees E21 In The Morning!! 🐤 ADORABLE Little Pink Feet!! 💕 1.5.23
https://youtu.be/dOM0wAkvons via ladyhawk

Harriet gets up first thing in the morning for her break and heads to the attic. M15 looks down at the nest and he sees E21 💕 He immediately drops down and he greets his new hatchling! M15 is a proud Dad and loves his chicks!! He quickly goes to brood E21 and continue incubation of egg #2. A pip has been seen on egg #2!

Later in the morning, M15 will get up and we have the adorable views of E21 and its little pink feet!! 🐤 This is the most precious stage just after hatching! You can see half of the eggshell off to the left side of the nest and the other half is still in the nest bowl. E21 has a little dark spot on the top of its head from its downy feathers being matted down just like Dad ♥♥ Definitely Daddy's chick!! Awwwww ♥ Thank you for watching!

Lisa... Oh My Gosh, really? LOL. I've always been fascinated, especially during our travels when I was little, by variances in different parts of our wonderful country, especially in the names we call the same items (pop, soda, soft drink). Our light weight plastic snow rake is great. You should have seen the one my Dad used to use when I was a child. It was my Mom's Dad's that he had made... out of solid wood with diagonal braces! It had to have weighed 15 pounds! Ugh.

The crew did a good job today. It is really getting deep around here...

tig - Yes, really never heard of a snow rake.  I mean we have snow here every once in a while, but nothing like you and kb get, so I guess we don't need a rake.  I only see snow shovels around here.

Tsk how was today with Lulu?  Please give her a head scratch for me.

Kb I  am very concerned for you. It's just Im  an  'ol desert gal ---can guarrantee I would be fed  up after the first season of what you deal with time after time.
I had to look up a 'snow pup'---lightweight powered snow shovel. So glad you have that. You do know I always have a candle burning on our home alter for Beakroom?
Great photos from Ben Sunne .
So glad you had  subadult bald eagle visit the Tower to day. Hope it made you day a bit better.

Tig   Glad the crew did a good job on your roof. That sure is a rise in their fee for snow removal.  Take care outside.
We're waiting for the electric bill for Christmas weekend due to  those down lines from the 'bomb cyclone' that plagued the North and visited us. It took over 24 hrs to get
the house back to temp with those 'rolling blackouts' on top of that.

PHYL   Her first day has been another day of trying out things.  One, she can jump the counters - something Lucy never did, so there is that. sigh.
She doesn't eat much.  We cannot cut her nails - Boo.  She won't let us hold her that long so Tim will take her to the vet on Monday ( he is assuming more responsibility!) and this will likely be a monthly thing.   She had a very long session of play with the feather stick - and finally fell asleep in front of us  LOLOL  Damar is awake and someone is home - Great news   So you are back to working on your book?

LORI   Love the cat standing in the on circle of grass  LOL

TIG   You take it easy!!!   Hefty price to pay  WOW

LANI   " measure twice , cut once"  LOL

OLDGUY   Now I know why I like that name  LOL

This made me laugh...not sure it's a good idea for the roof, but peeps are a bit cranky with all this snow so ;)

Andrew just plowed my drive out.....poor guy, he's been working at it for 3 days in a row with more to go.

My job tomorrow will be to prioritize...steps for Ollie to get in the back yard?....there are 3 access points none of which he can get through...remove some roof snow?....continue with decks....
I will decide tomorrow.....of course back and neck and oh everything is sore.

Yes I and I'm guessing many could use some help....

Lani Your point to make exactly - You have too much tool stuff, or whatever stuff:  old mags, worn out sweats, unused exercise equipment, etc.  We all collect and have favs and we do try and intend to try.  But they bring us joy and comfort and memories.  That's a good thing.  (I now have Ton's room to keep some of my downstair Christmas decorations. How convenient that is.  Tee Hee)

Phyl, thanks for RRP blog... great news on Hamlin.

Lisa, LOL! I could do that to my tree for the holidays.  ;D

Clynn, Phyl, yes, I can see the Decorah pair in your early morning pics. We had those school desks in Hawaii, not the 2nd one in Phyl's pic. If you were in the last class of the day, you were expected to put the chairs on the desk for the janitors.

Tsk, sounds like Lulu is settling in, and soon she'll learn what she's not suppose to do, and work on retraining you ;D ....  use of litter box overnight is a good sign... she's such a beauty.

Tig, cute roller skating story... a lot of work and $$$ for you when it snows... Like Lisa, I had to look up snow rake for roofs... in Hawaii we said "soda," then I moved to Kansas, and it's "pop."   ???

Oldguy, I read that further in the comments about the rescue guy in Oregon.

Kb, great morning pic "I give up" .. great capture of juvie on the Tower. Someone has a good sense of humor to build a snowman on the roof...  Take care.

Eagles, great puzzle! That would be fun to do. Did Kris work on it too? I know he loves VWs.... I bought Aly a Mayberry Puzzle, 1000 piece.

Lori, thanks for update on little SWFL newbie, precious baby... and a pip on 2nd egg too.

Kilauea has gone active again - just before 5pm Hawaii time - appears to be similar volume to the latest activity.  Labeled as a resumption of the activity from Sept 2021 - Dec. 2022.  Activity must be stopped for over 3 months to be classified as a new eruption.

Oldguy Oh no! Kilauea again but same eruption---based on your info

Tsk there 'Rules of the House' and then there are 'Rules to Lulu'  She's only been with you two days. And, she's not even 1 year old. It all takes time and love
I know you know this---had to say---Lulu isn't Lucy. No two kitties are the same.   {{{Lulu}}}  {{{Tsk}}}
Maggie sends purrs to Lulu and kitty kisses (eye blinking) to you.

Lani No word on the tile work and all, yet?  The last desk I posted was the last I used, mostly in high school and we too, put the chairs inverted ontop of the desks
for the janitorial staff

Kb snowman on house roof,so funny. You needed the laugh.  Glad Andrew is there working. Aspercreme or  a nice Swedish massage by a cute guy. LOL

Eagles oh yes. Write and rewrite and rewrite ---I have some chapters that didn't' materialize like the others so need to get them where they need to be for one thing.  All this from a crazy dream that haunted me until I wrote it down and then...  ;D

tsk, awww, Lulu, she has her own personality! Hopefully she will learn the rules! We have never had a cat as onery as Harley and he ignores the rules. Our Siamese cats from the past were pretty good kitties, but Harley! Still, you can't help but love them! Harley gets on my desk and tries to lay on the mouse and walk on the keyboard. When Kelsey's aid is trying to write in her notebook he just lays on the notebook. I could go on and on...

Pretty steady temps today at 33 degrees  Cloudy, of course  :(

Lucy update.  She loves the laser dot on the floor game and the feather stick!!  She actually allowed herself to fall asleep in front of us  - progress.  Eating a bit better as we decide how/what she likes to eat.  She's not in the office this AM so maybe is more secure in her place now and not needing all the attention. She was on the sofa this AM when I came into the kitchen.  I do not think she will be a bed sleeper so far.  And do not think she will be a lap layer either.  We shall see. I was the first one to step on her. :'(

KB  Funny snowman on the roof.  Not the safest "funny" however.  ::)

LANI   I DO remember that- putting chairs seat down on the desk - now that you mention it.  LOL    In Wisconsin it was also "soda" and still is.."Pop" where I live.  ;) ;)   So what is the theme of Aly's new puzzle?

OLDGUY  Kilauea is not done yet!

PHYL   What an accompaniment to the coffee  :o

CLYNN   LOL Forever:  Longest time - to brew first cup    ;) ;)   Fascinating snow removal techniques.  All so different.  Harley  LOL.  Each day is getting better here.  Lots of play is important.  Gorgeous tigress and cubs

Phyl - Loved your good night pic.  How is your book coming along?  Morning coffee and goodie looks delish!  That was a good blog post by Amy.

E4E - The Green Turtle, cute name for your VW bus! 

kb - Snowman on the roof is kinda funny, probably not a good idea, but funny!

Lani - I have a friend from Mississippi that actually does that.  When she puts up her Mardi Gras tree, I will post a pic.  She should be doing it soon, since the first parade starts tonight!

oldguy - Thanks for info on Kilauea.

Going to see A Man Named Otto today, and somewhere for a bite.

Goofed last evening ... gave the microwave bacon too many seconds. ! Burnt some of the bacon, the paper towel and started to melt the microwaveable plate! Luckily I was steps away at the sink. Lesson learned.

HAGD

Oh, and while I was watching out the window a couple days ago, to ensure Camper and the "illegal" Toro snow pup (which does not have automatic shut off) were safe out on the front city sidewalk, I saw a large BE fly across the treetops across the street. Fun!

Lani, the Gifts of Epiphany are great! I have tons of board games if any one needs those.... ;D ;D ;D

kb, wow, you made the Top 10, not a good thing. But that report might not be right, here's another one listing the 11 most expensive cities in the US and Minneapolis isn't on the list. Neither is Houston. There might be different considerations in the cost of living index vs. most expensive, but it all comes down to how much $$$ to live. And still, I can't imagine that any city in the Midwest would be on that list, except maybe Chicago. But I am not the expert!  Love the kitty conga nap...

oldguy, I wish Ryan would give a condensed version of his forecast first, then go into detail for those who want more... yes, that is my wish! LOLOL

Sue Bruhling - Speaking of Gabby!! I wanted to share with you this picture of Gabby and YES!!! V3 is still hanging around!! He is a very determined Eagle but as far as the Million Dollar Question!  Is he the One for Gabby? Only Gabby knows... ❤

CLYNN  I'm so with you on Ryan's weather reporting  ::) ::) :o  NEFL  has been THE nest to watch this year.  In past years they would have had eggs by now.

Tig - I like movies that make you laugh and cry a lil.

Tsk - I have never heard of that Krewe either.  My favorite parade is Endymion.  It’s an all male Krewe, and they costumes are beautiful. That is the parade to see.

Top is perfect of Caturday. Reminds me of Samantha who loved to sit on the dinning table while I ate. Too k me a long time to break her. And, I finally settled for her sitting in one of the matching chairs with the tips of her front on the edge of the table .

Tigress and her cubs is just awesome. Luv it!  You know tigers are the largest of all the 'great cats' and the only felines on earth that truly love the water, swimming and frollicking in the wet stuff.

Sue Bruhling  update on Gabby and V3,

TSK
what a nice graphic this AM; Somewhat better temps; so glad Lulu is becoming accuswtom to her new home. I know it's a crusher when one steps on kitty for the first time. With Samantha, as she was pitch black, she got trampled loads of times. And, loads of times I'd pick her up and cuddle and beg forgiveness and was forgiven. Maggie flashes those green 'cow eyes' full of tears. 'Why did you do that? 

Lisa yummie macroons, I don't dare.  Re; book, I sttart and stop too much. But, getting there once fully researeched.  Too bad I never did traveling when I was in my 20's  I'd have all the research I need now. 

Eagles nice sunrise this AM

Oldguy tks for Kilauea update; tks for it's video, thanks for the links, will check out later on

Tig how cool for you---a BE sighting

Kbkitty pile up is sooooo cute;  I'm afraid to get a massage---I might like them too much .  ;D; Gosh! Those  steps out back---the entire back  :o

Eagles, the puzzle is Mayberry, with Andy Griffith and the gang. The storms coming your way looks terrible. Batten down the hatches, take care :(.

Tig, BE sighting is a good ending to your day.

Kb, good for you to take the day off and rest... prayers for no more snow...

Clynn, I'll know where to go for "games Boards"  ;D ... LOL  I agree with your wish about Ryan Hall to OG!  ;D

Phyl - Thanks for posting the parade schedule.  Is there Mardi Gras parades where you live?

E4E - He is happy about being able to telework.  They are allowed to do it one day a week for 6 months at a time, which has to be approved thru upper management & HR.  He is hoping he gets Friday again when his 6 months runs out, cause that will be when the summer traffic starts for the bridge.

Lani - Beautiful good night pic. I am glad to hear the Mike is traveling again.  Is he feeling better??  Yea, Mama is planning to go to Mardi Gras.  She will leave the Friday morning before Mardi Gras to head to New Orleans to stay with my aunt. They will go to Endymion on Saturday. On Sunday my cousin's husband is in the Krewe of Thoth, so the go and spend the day Uptown and watch the parade to catch him on his float.  Mardi Gras day, they go back Uptown and catch all the parades.

Kb Chin up, after the big melt comes the flooding, not @ your elev thankfully.

They don't put the base of water towers at low points.

Thanks, BL - Correct!.....I never flood....Could have an ice dam starting at a section of my house in back though...Could is the operative word...It must have some warmer air penetration in the attic as I have icicles forming....teeny ones...
I may put my avalanche together today, climb my snow piles from my back deck, and try to remove some snow off the back roof line.

Lisa, what a cute coffee cup! I want one! I googled it and it also comes in black! Erin said when they went back to the office they had a new option, three days work in the office, two days work from home. So he is working Mom-Wed in the office. And if they take a vacation day, it counts as an in-office day. I think a lot of businesses had to come up with something after all the work from home time. Sounds like your Mom will have a busy fun-filled time!

Lani, I'm glad Mike is feeling good enough to do a close/short trip! Ahh, the Mayberry puzzle is a Dowdle, I have done a lot of those online! Very intricate!

Phyl, 12 here right now, high today 29. Tomorrow they say the high will be 40. Monday 48.

It's Caturday  HI EVERYONE

Well  woke to Tim's recliner full of digested vomit and a dribble on the carpet.  SIGH  We had planned to take her to the adoption center today - they offered to cut her nails -and complete the adoption .  Now though I would like to see how this pans out.  This is our third day and we have 2 weeks to decide. 

PHYL  Big dinner for you two last night  :o  I had NO IDEA there were all those parades.  Busy time of the year for La.   " In one ear"  LOLOL
Those crocheted fat cats are cute.

LANI   You pick some very challenging puzzles.  I didn't think you literally meant Mayberry  LOLOL  That's a good one.  Hopefully Mike is feeling better now to attempt a trip away.  According to Google it is only about 2 1/2 hrs away.  Not too bad.

BL   Loved that song by Fleetwood Mac

LISA   Cute coffee mug!!!  Wow  Mom really gets into the parade excitement.  Nice that she has her sister? to stay with.

KB   That roof tool seems really easy to use.  Glad you have it.

CLYNN   Nice working situation for Erin.

Kinda big right? ;) ;)

tsk - meaning you are having second thoughts?....

Well, I would call it easy to use once I put it together....it's in the garage in 3 sections....
And then cause I threw so much snow behind my one access to my 2 tiered garden I have to climb the piles with it...may have to put it together once I get up to the top tier.

We have a small gate to keep Ollie out of the gardens...it's totally blocked by ice/snow..I can climb up however to the side of it as I removed a smallish fencing piece before the snow. I may now wait a day or two till it warms up a bit...only getting to 16 above today....we shall see....every day is an adventure, LOL

Morning - It's Caturday!

Phyl - So sorry - yes I did intend for my comment about snow to go to Kb (my bad).  Great Caturday shames! ;D  Cute kitty poem!
Lani - Now I understand about the 'Mayberry' puzzle for Aly - I just saw that you posted a picture - that one looks very challenging, but a lot of fun though!! :)  I always loved Andy Griffith and the whole group!  ;D   Glad that Mike has a couple of days before leaving for Gila Bend - hope he feeling good. {{Lani & Mike}}
BL - love Fleetwood Mac! ;D
LisaG - Hope Jeff gets to keep working Fridays at home. :)  Wow, your Mom will have a great time in New Orleans! ;D
Kb - Didn't realize your home sits the highest in town - sounds like that is a good thing. :)
Clynn - Like your Caturday gifs/pics!
Tsk - You & Tim have time and will make the right decision.
Kb - Like your morning pic!

Beakers have a nice day  :)

KB   A bird that recognizes color - Wow.  Yes I wondered if you could get your roof device close enough...Is that something Andrew could do??
We have 2 weeks on a trial with her.  We think she ate too much yesterday( first full day of eating and is the same food she was fed before) and Tim played forever the laser mouse with her before he went to bed.  May have upset her stomach.  Vet said she had no history of vomiting with foster family.  We are taking her to the shelter this AM so vet can cut her nails - all part of the coverage.

tsk - sounds like a reasonable reason for the vomiting doesn't it....hope it works out for you and her.

I'll give it a try before I ask Andrew....I can do the front of the house myself easily but have no icicles there so not too worried, though there is a lot of snow on the roofs. As I stated it's the back...I'll let you know how it goes....LOL..I'm working myself up to at least getting the 3 pieces to the back of house and going from there?..

Poor Andrew.....not sure he slept for 4 days in a row....I spoke with him when he got to my house finally and he looked/acted hurried and a bit rough!...He told me next year he won't do alleys anymore...I don't have an ally but we have a few and lots in Minneapolis...He said he was running into vehicles and garbage cans..They have become too thin. Am thinking Andrew needs a week of rest...

some bounce
I think we all need a rest KB. Which I intend to do this weekend. Biggest snow here since 1969??? Anyway... please be careful. I know you will. Just a gentle reminder. When I'm out there I always have a shovel or cane or structure to hold onto... just in case. And then I'll catch my foot on uneven patio blocks, or a snow ridge or ice, not enough to fall, just enuf for me to say out loud "Watch it grrrrl!" Just little reminders sometimes.
I read today that Frank V. had a fall, injury, surgery... partially due to rushing and not putting on proper footwear: https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/frank-surgery-update/
OK. Enuf about that.  ;)
Thank you all for the postings of birdies and wildlife ... maybe I'll treat myself to a session of cockatoos dancing on youtube. In between cleaning house, reading, and beginning to pick through holiday presents and "put them in their place".

Tig - thanks...I have a shovel with me as well.....and yaktrax on....just a titch too cold, but I'll get what I can today, and do more as it warms up...that is if I can reach....I removed one piece as was too long for me to maneuver on the top tier....will need to add it back on when I go down to deck.

Post by: kbshcb on January 07, 2023, 11:40:28 AM

Okay, that's it for me for today....
Made it to the south edge of the middle (bathroom) window and that's it..snow was too high where I was standing...3 feet?

Will have to have a second person to keep going north from down on the deck...second person to help me lift it up to the roof as it will be very tall...Chris?...someone else?...

Or just prayers, LOL

Looks mostly to be frozen ice in gutters anyway so we shall see. Some people throw panty hose filled with an ice melting substance into the gutters to melt it....I don't have that good of an arm/throw.

She was nervous for awhile, distant and was always looking for something. Maybe Lulu is going through some of that. Maybe a stuffed toy, fleece blanket to settle in and nuzzle? Just a thought.

Clynn and Lani  have some excellent ideas about  Miss Lulu.  As you said it coulld be too much eaten right before play time.
 I will toss out another idea---she could have eaten something 'unagreeable' with her tummy or digestion, that you may not know about.
 As our vet says---try not to stress.

Phyl, love those crocheted Fat Cats! And the Poem! And the cat shames (the dingleberry!), and the 'in one ear and out the other'.

tsk, with Lulu it's probably just the anxiety of moving to a new place, I bet she is better every day...

CLYNN  Thanks for Sue's screen clip of E21 and E22  We never get tired of that picture all these years.   Bear hiding himself  LOLOL  Right!  Yes, we are figuring out a new time for play and food dispensing.  Tim said he felt her on the bed last night - not for too long tho.   ;) ;)

KB  I feel so bad for Andrew.  Those guys work so hard and put up with a lot.

Well I'm resuming this an hour after I started as her highness wanted a lap to lay on so....

KB  Do you think that amount of snow would do harm?  Just catching up with  the posts

CLYNN  Post the cat mug link to the group to save time  LOL  Super funny dog shots  ;D

LANI   Thanks for those tips on Sadie's early years.  I will follow up.  She does have several places to sleep - so far not a box cat  LOL and seems to like wide open spaces. - New Mom - good idea.  Have a good zoom.

PHYL  Thanks  ;)

T40  That first piece was great - bear and the Mercedes and tiny crab.  Badass Mom - one the most amazing vids of late.  WOW Kudos to the machinery operator  Love Olive and Mabel

Post by: kbshcb on January 07, 2023, 02:27:27 PM

tsk - no I don't think it will cause too much harm....We all just worry about ice dams which leak water into the interior of a house...the real reasons for that are not enough insulation in the attic, I have plenty that I know of, or odd roof valleys that tend to leak....Icicles are the typical first sign.

I only had one small leak the winter of 2018/19....Scott was sick....a tiny spot in the kitchen/bath...only time in 24 years now....it was a big snow year. An alert if you will.

I haven't been up in the attic since we filled it with insulation.....sometimes it drops and you need more..

So, I'm just being cautious....unfortunately, I have a single story in front but a 2 story in back due to the walk out...which makes it almost impossible to remove from the roof without a professional.

We shall see though.

Lani productive 'zoom' meeting?

Hi Baz

Mike / Maggie memory:
When we first brought Mike home at 6mos. My fella  hid during the day for a month! He only came out at night to eat and littlerbox. Then one
afternoon as I was preping dinner, I felt 'eyes' on my back. Turned ---lo and behold--there was my fella sitting at the enterance to the kitchen. I said 'Hello. Are you hungry?" He let a out kitty roar of   a mew and the rest was daily history at 4pm for  his dinner. Maggie hid for 2.5 mos because Mike wasn't very welcoming in the begining. When their relationship 'gelled' they were inseperable!   ;)

But really not....I had him trained and still train him every time we walk...I'm walking him.

He does also know he needs to stabilize me on the ice...he looks back at me carefully when I'm tip toeing on that ice in the street....and slows down for me..

such a good boy.....

These pictures are of the snow at my place which is about 18-20 miles north of Tig and less than 30 miles from KB. At neighbor plows the driveway and most of the snow goes to the side of the garage and then Ross snow blows the rest so I'm very fortunate that I don't have to do it.

Puff... thanx, we do what we can. Whether it is to ease our brain a bit by asking for understanding from friends, or by asking for grace from a neighbor who has boundaries or by offering a hug or a cup of hot chocolate (like I made for my Bro yesterday), or by pushing our own physical limitations to reach a self-imposed goal... living here is worth the effort. So... we would love to share! LOL

Eagles, my eyes were crossed/fingers in ears for a few moments during zoom meeting  :-\ ... I'm part of a committee preparing for a state convention in Phoenix in May. I'm Badge Chair /Registration Co-Chair, things will start heating up starting end of February. I've got to settle myself down and get an update report written due Tuesday. Are you settled in for the storms heading your way. Looks like the clouds from your storms will be heading our way. My weather app says a cloudy week ahead for us...  Take care.

Northern Royal Albatross cam update - 1/8
Better breezy, cooler conditions for L on her nest today.
In approx. over a week, it will be time to check the #RoyalCam egg for signs of hatching.
GLY & L’s egg is no 2. in the hatching schedule, but with nature’s timetable - expect the unexpected.

Tks. for the Lulu Report.
Oh yeah. Cats get all 'nutty' with those bird videos. Maggie had the exact same reaction when she first watched. Sat on the desk and would try to catch them w/her paws.  Then as birds flew off she lunge for them and almost darted into the window if I hadn't caught her.  I often leave  the computer on bird vids while we're watching TV downstairs . After her dinner she comes back up and lays in my chair watching them. That's okay as it has wheels . So when I want on the PC I just roll the chair away from the desk and slide a stationary chair in it's place. If I'm playing  games from my WildTangent account,  Mags will hop on the desk and play with me.  ;D

You two gals are gonna have loads of fun together.  :-*

May not get on early tomorrow.  Off by 7:15 AM for an MRI.   Have been virtually incapacitated for the last week  - unable to stand longer than 2-3 min at a time before needing to sit.  Wait Wait Wait for test and appts.  Have a lot of pain back lying so don't know how this will go..Will be on later as I have PT after that if I can get there on time.

Tsk so sorry to hear all this going on with you!  Knowing how you feel, I do hope that the MRI is informative. And docs can get to  and remedy the cause quickly
Gentle hugs. Praying you have a more restful night and all.

Rose Bowl, Part 2, My extra comments, questions answered, and additional observations:

Lani   For my being a snow person -- I found the rain wasn't that bad at all.  I was    soaked to the gills by 7pm, too.  But the memories are unforgetable and    unbelieveably fantastic.

Jasper    I was in the bleachers at the parade, row 3, not on a float.  But, I was        waving a virtual wave.  LOL

Good words from E4E, maybe I'll take up an offer for a SFO tour. I connect there sometimes, you never know when I might call.

This was a long-time want of mine.  It was everything I waited for, and everything I hoped for. It  is a new 2023 positive after one helluva year for me. 

Thanks again group for all the best wishes and consolations.

Just heard local school bus drop off kids - and life goes on.

Flight back was in the one-of-a-kind category.   Very bumpy, huge dips, puffy clouds gray and white, thrown to and fro and bucked, no blue seen at all the last hour.  Landed 3 seeonds after finally spotting land.  Oh good, land!  Pilots really earned their keep today.   

If you are taking I'm giving all my best to you all-- Happy NewYear.  Prayers for your 2023.

Even entertaining were the extra helpers marching in the parade.   For instance, THe squads of poop scoopers (with shovels) do routines and get roaring applause. 

Did I mention?  It was me and my closest 94,000 fans at the game.   Same jets who did flyover at parade did it for the big crowd at the game.   Change of equipment after a problem earlier in December.   This year it was two B-1B Lancers from the Elsworth/Dyess AFB in South Dakota.  Loud, scary, and low.  Because there was open airspace (no tall buildings or hills) I guestimate 200 maybe even 100 foot altitude.  Too busy gawking to be certain.  They rumbled and rolled  and roared the area.  AND THEN they repeated the show before the football game at the stadium.  The rumble could have shattered that old building, don't know why it didn't.  So powerful!

Many, many dogs in CA.  and they go every where, are welcome everywhere. Trip actually started with 3 dogs on my flight out.  Are well-trained, never saw any problems, and always on leash.  No, never saw a cat being taken around.  They are home napping, dotcha know.

Tears came two times more than the midnight Olde Lang Syne-  Watching the many bands and opportunities for a honoring of the flag groups and the response aka roar of the parade fans, And, toward the end of the game I teared up because I had really done it!!!!!

P

Again, to all, I pray you have a truly remarkable and blissful year.

Woohoo, 47 high for today!

On another note, Ed & Kelsey picked up Kay to bring her here for her Birthday Dinner (roast beef, mashed potatoes/gravy, fancy green beans, salad and brownies/ice cream), she was having trouble getting up the one step to the front door, fell down and was laying on our front sidewalk. Then we discovered that she had scraped her shin on the edge of the step when she went down and it had taken off a patch of skin about 5"x8" from her leg. It was bleeding, but not profusely. We had to call 911 because we could not get her up (she is very heavy). They bandaged her, she said the pain was about a 1 and they took her to the hospital. She was there about 4 hours, Ed & Kelsey picked her up and took her home. She got up her basement stairs slow but fine. Ed/Kelsey were behind her just in case. The firemen (yes, the huge firetruck came) and the Paramedics in their vehicle were both here and they were 5 of the nicest guys, they were so caring and gentle. So, I packed up dinner for her and sent it with Ed & Kelsey. We will go to her place sometime this week with her birthday presents...

Phyl, thanks for the blog, some great pictures!  Ooh, those dog shames!

Puff, it sounds like your trip was just what you needed and I think Ton helped in getting you to go! He is now smiling...

BL & T40, good music, thanks! Love the Playing for Change, one of my favorites:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHo1fNnXFVU

Lani, your sweet good night picture shows how much the shape of a kitten's head and face change as they grow up.

E4E, I hope you are safe from the flooding. I read that Lake Meade is slowly rising from the rain affecting tributaries that flow into it. That is good for CA!

tsk, so sorry to hear that the pain is back, hope the MRI will reveal something that they can deal with...

Lori, we want you to feel better!

Her dinner sounds great! And so kind and thoughtful of you to pack and take to her. Sending prayers her way for a speedy recovery.
LOL upside down snowman---'What the world needs now...Love sweet love'. We were singing it in the 70's as teenagers and still singing it today.
Great temps for you today.  :)

Lisa nice photo /memory of Mardi Gras 2017; I miss having my mom here to do things with /go places .   :'(

Puff Part 2 sounds as memorable as the first. It's not often one's able to close a bad year with a wonderful trip. So glad you could to do so.

Lani very sweet 'Good Night' photo, esp. showing how a cat's face morphs from kittenhood to adult. And, more.

Eagles did some checking on the weather situation in Calif as Dan's there up North.  Hope Dan's okay as not been able to reach by phone---just leaves an email. Also thinking of you---take care. Flooding possible.

I was first introduced to him during Eric Clapton's Crossroad Guitar festivals....I think I've seen most if not all 4 of them.

I mentioned at least twice here I had a crush on Derek...shhhh ;)

Phyl - love the 3rd dog shame the best...LOL...dancing after pooping...reminds me Ollie gets the zoomies after pooping snow or grass.

Puff - very happy for you crossing that one off your bucket list....and your happiness shows.

Lisa - "Momma loves parades"....haha...you will need to find her one to go to when she's here this summer.....hmmm.....I'll put on my thinking cap.

Andrew did say he's removing snow from roofs this week....his tool won't reach but I advised him mine will with help....when he's not too busy he'll let me know and help me....I may have to poke him by the end of the week, but we shall see.

Warming temps this week might reveal more icicles forming with possible rain/mixed precip next week, will not help without flowing gutters....

PHYL   Thanks for Amy's blog  Always good stuff.

PUFF   BUT  Did you have a good time?  LOL  Only kidding.  I'm so excited for you just reading your play by play.  Could just imagine those planes and feeling the sound in my chest.  Memories of that will will linger a long while.  so glad you went and now the New Year is off to a fresh start.  :-*

CLYNN  Oh no.  Poor Kay.  Does she have a medic alert she wears around her neck??  Wonder if now something should be set up where she gets a morning and/or afternoon phone call to make sure she is not on the floor?  Hope it wasn't too cold for her to be laying there?  They are a special breed those paramedics!!   Love that bee coated in pollen.

LISA   Fun pic of you and Mom  ;D

LOL  I think I got a few souls out of purgatory this AM with the 30 min of pain in the flat position for the MRI  ;) ;) ;) :o :o :o  Then to PT who asked if doc had suggested Gabapentin?  So got home and contacted via MY Chart in the hopes by some miracle his nurse can bring that to his attention ASAP in his busy day ( he's in surgery tomorrow) as I do not have a teleconference with him until 5:45 on WEDNESDAY !!  Wait Wait..

You just mentioning MRI brought on a claustrophobic attack - the worst of the worst tsk  !!!  On top of that laying flat for half an hour on metal table.  That is a challenge at the very least.

Yep I did kinda enjoy my CA time.   :P  Plus I have to repeat the beating of the odds related to RRP.  Not only with 4-5 hour tour by expert leader weasel/Lynn.  She could write a book on sites of the area.  But let me mention again. . .One of those was with the same group, from MN, close to KP, and also a travel advisor. . who was a fan of the Decorah group, although a percher she follows our feathered friends.  And, the other unlikely discovery was Avis seated next to me at the game, from Iowa.  She knew about us, too.  Maybe one of them was convinced to come meet the in-crowd at ATF.

KP do you happen to know her, or do you know where she has her office: 
Avis Bourne, Cruises & Tour Pkgs, 2100 Mississippi Circle Street, St. Paul?
I'm thinking "no". You're in Minneapolis area?

tsk, no Kay doesn't wear a medic alert device, she probably should. She should be using a walker instead of the crutches, Ed has found her 3 walkers from the DAV store, and she uses one in her house. I saw her fall, she was trying to get her left foot up on the step and couldn't do it, then she fell. The hip that needs replacement is her right one, so I think she was leaning on it too much. The original time she fell in May of 2020 she laid on her bedroom floor all night because she couldn't get up, she called me in the morning and I told her to call 911. I don't know if she will ever be able to get the surgery she needs...

I do hope you find some relief soon! 

Sun shining, 50 degrees!

Lani called me, Payson, Pine and Strawberry are all having big internet problems, she will keep trying and hopefully they will get it fixed...

David Lynch's Birthday, if you want to wish him a happy birthday on his FB page.

No sorry Puff...I don't know her....and yes I live in the Minneapolis area, not St. Paul!....as kids we never crossed the river! ;)....course I have many times as an adult..Chris went to St. Thomas University in St. Paul...so crossed the Ford Parkway Bridge too many times to count.

More importantly, I don't know her Beak name, never in life have used a travel agent....sorry Puff, remember I was a flight attendant so didn't need one in my youth....and then I became terrified to fly and haven't since I flew back home from Los Angeles..

had heavy frost this morning, but in the mid 40s this afternoon - back to a high of 32 tomorrow :(  At least we are not having the problems like California

BL - have been listening to Tedeschi and Trucks since you introduced them here several years ago... 
Background on Trucks for those not familiar to him...  His uncle was the founding drummer to the Allman Brothers and got him a spot on the band in 1999 - he started his first band in 1995 at 16yo - He did an album and international tour with Eric Clapton in 2006 - He started the Tedeschi Trucks Band in 2010 - Susan and Derek have many award nominations over the past 20 years, mostly in Blues music, winning many of them.

Puff - I see that the address for Avis Bourne is a short loop street in a residential area at the Northern edge of St. Paul, so like you , she must run her business out of her home.  Not sure how close that is to Tig.

Lisa, I wondered if you saw your mom in any of the parade pics I posted the link to last night. I love that picture of you and your mom at one of the NOLA parades!!  Y'all made the news!!  :D  Okay... gotta ask... did your mom ever sneak and do any daring "upper body" exposes to "earn" that bag full of beads??   ;D  8)  :o  ;) :D :D

eagles4 - no significant or even measurable melting here..it's still only 31 with clouds and now poor air quality....combo of fog, little wind, and air trapped at the surface...

This is the difference for MN compared to other areas....we typically don't melt significant snow till March or April and sometimes till May...Our average temp for this day is a high of 25....

By warmer temps here I just mean warmer than in the low teens, or twenties which we have today.

WE have SUNSHINE today  :D


...

LOL  I think I got a few souls out of purgatory this AM with the 30 min of pain in the flat position for the MRI  ;) ;) ;) :o :o :o  Then to PT who asked if doc had suggested Gabapentin?  So got home and contacted via MY Chart in the hopes by some miracle his nurse can bring that to his attention ASAP in his busy day ( he's in surgery tomorrow) as I do not have a teleconference with him until 5:45 on WEDNESDAY !!  Wait Wait..

(((((TSK))))) Hope you get the gabapentin soon!!  I was thinking of you this morning, and was hoping you wouldn't have to lie on your back long - but I have had several MRIs, and know they are time consuming. Hugs to you. It wasn't funny, I know, but... I had to chuckle at your comment, and I'm sure those souls released from Purgatory are praising you!! You even do good deeds when you are in excruciating pain!!!   :-*  I hope you start getting some relief soon!!

Hopefully Andrew can help with the roof snow.  Tks for comet story--always interesting

Tsk LOL 'souls out of Purgatory'.   tks for you update on today's hospital visit. Take care with 'Gabapentin'  It has some hefty side effects .  So sorry you had to lie in the 'tube' for so long. I was so hoping that you'd get your MRI results and be on the road to getting some relief. Prayers continuing

Clynn tks for additional info on Kay; skinny on Lani and internet issues. I think you forgot the link on David Lynch's FB page. Not sure if this the correct link as I don't visit Face Book https://www.facebook.com/RaptorResourceProject/ (http://ttps://www.facebook.com/RaptorResourceProject/)

Eagles no word from Dan. He's not a phone talker. Keep yourselves safe and dry.

Oldguy tks for links and esp Calif update; agree on the minions for today.

Hi Baz  all the Mardi Gras beads I've gotten were keep 'your shirt/bra on' from a nightclub with Jim.

PUFF   I am not claustrophobic luckily and I had my eyes closed.  Noise did not bother me either.  Pain was the issue - but that is done now and I survived.   :D   I know many people cannot handle the machine.   It really is a small world when you meet people with common interests.  It's exciting.  New friends which you have all over the world and meet easily  :-*

CLYNN   WHAAAAT? Crutches - NEVER for someone of her age and weight - A walker is a must and is 4 extra legs and not 2 to help her walk.  Thanks for Lani's update.  Dang - those persistent internet problems.  I'm THAT old too. LOL

LISA    Yes. When I see my regular doc I get all the results long before he calls me.  ;)

OLDGUY   Love when Claire does the writing thing.

PHYL  Funny good night gif.

Doc  responded - Gabapentin takes too long to build up in system and I had spoken with my nephew's wife who is a pharmacist prior to his answering me.  Will take 2 Aleve in AM and 2 Aleve at night.  That's fine with me!

Took forever to into the Beak and downloading is taking forever on the links - Good night

Kb - Okay, no melting yet, but hopefully in the near future! You, Chris, Ollie stay dry & warm - you have so much snow - be careful  :o ::)
clynn - Both hubby & I remember having to cover our books (in H.S.) with brown paper!
LisaG - Yes - retiring has been the most wonderful thing for me.  Again, love the pic of you & your fun Mama! :) ;D
Phyl - Sometimes "no news is good news" - hope that is the case with Dan.  Everyone has been warned here in CA about the flooding via; their phones, Pc's, Tv and all their devices!  Dan might be busy taking care of things. :o ::)
Tsk - Glad you aren't claustrophobic!  When I have to go into the MRI machine, I take my own hand towel and cover my eyes and I DON'T peek.  I am fine with that and complete the test without any problem (as I am claustrophobic).   You have a good positive attitude with everything, so you will be fine!

She has got to be in a lot of pain.{{{hugs for Kelsey and bless you and Ed for all you do for Kay}} ... our internet and landline phone was down throughout the day. Thankful for cell phone  :) ... I made my own book covers too...

Kb, thanks for the info of the green comet!

{{{Tsk}}} I can't imagine how painful it must have been for you.   good suggestion regarding medic alert for Kay.... forum is slow.

Eagles, Internet/cable problems have been going on too long. We need another fiberoptic line into our town and surrounding areas. I'm having to reboot our modem every morning or sometimes 4 times a day.  :( ... awww, happy to hear you're enjoying your retirement. I pray the flooding stops, take care  :-*

Oldguy, thanks for links.

tsk - Same here, and then I try to interpret what the results mean and am totally wrong.  ;D
Did the doctor offer anything  for pain since he said, the Gabapentin takes too long to build up in system, or do you have to wait to see him for the results of MRI?  I hope the Aleve is giving you some relief.

Lani, I see you had a bit of internet time! I wish they would find a solution! Kay wants the hip surgery but they won't do it until she loses some weight, too dangerous. They told her this when she fell and landed in the emergency room in 2020. I wish she would get some counseling, both her sister and I try to convince her... How is Mike doing on his trip?

tsk, you are a trooper. Do you need a PT person?  LOLOL!

Berry College Eagles - New Ma Berry ……
It was nice to get her in a different tree in some beautiful morning light. She had just finished eating leftover American Coot Pa Berry brought her for breakfast. For some reason, she brought the leftovers to this tree and proceeded to eat. She did drop a small bite and we were hoping she might drop to the ground to retrieve it, but she didn’t. She was also being harassed by at least one Bluejay….. maybe that is why she has ”that look” on her face! 🤣😉🦅

Thanks Lani....glad to read they only remove the egg for 3-6 days and then promptly return the hatchling after treating the nest....and of course replacing for those few days a dummy egg....and why.

Well, plans have changed for today....low clouds/fog have not lifted much. So, I asked my mailman just now how the streets were to walk a pup....he said there is lots of ice under the slush....
I see him often when I walk Ollie and he doesn't even walk the hills.....so, better be safe than sorry.

Will start a 1,000 piece puzzle then......sorry Ollie....also means giving up my dining room table, so tv trays here we come for awhile.

Later.

EAGLES  I'm much more comfortable on the dose of Aleve.  I could do the laundry  LOL

KB   We haven't had enough snow to even snow blow.  Brown grass with patches of green grass. Never had piles or snow that lasted more than a day..  Happy to see a free day worked into your schedule.  On Save the Eagle day you get Mr Mrs Tower to be present.  YAY  a puzzle.

LANI  Thanks for the royals update.  If I remember , they put a fake egg underneath right?

tsk - Wow, I had no idea you basically have no snow, esp. compared to us!....I am very very jealous! ;)

I love Ravensburger puzzles for their beauty and the slightly thicker, better quality pieces...
But, but they've gone to mostly smaller ( I call them teeny tiny) pieces....and it's hard to find that out before I order, or in this case Chris ordered....1,000 teeny tiny pieces....it's tough.
I just now got them all turned over and border pieces separated.....ugg....will show pic when done.

Good Afternoon Beakers

Phyl - Cute cuppa this morning.  Great pic of HM & HD this morning.

clynn - Fuzz on one's tongue  ;D  Thanks for the SWFL and Berry updates!  It had rained two days before the cold snap, and I saw Black BB kitty the day before it rain in the morning.  I have not seen BB kitty since.  There has been a white one that comes every evening, that belongs to a neighbor on the street that you turn to get to my house.  It must stay in all day, and they let it out at night, cause that is the only time we see it on cam.  We thought about picking up the food and shelter, but since the white one is coming, I just couldn't do it.

tsk - Good deal on the Aleve.  I take one every day for the Fibro, and it takes just the edge off, so I can function.

E4E - I would love to find a cup like that too!

kb - Cute pic of the cubs.  Hope you and Ollie had a good walk.

Lani - Thanks for the update on the Royals.

KB - when looking for 1000 piece puzzles with larger pieces, you need to look for puzzles that have larger dimensions - if you take the measurements of a completed puzzle (usually listed in the description for the item online) and multiply the 2 dimensions you get the area.  A standard 1000 puzzle will be between 500 and 550 Sq. inches.  The puzzles with larger pieces will be 3 to 4 inches larger for each side, so the area will be somewhere near 720 sq. inches.  So a standard 1000 piece will be about 1/2 sq. in. and the larger sized 1000 will be a 3/4 sq.in. piece.

KB, great info from Oldguy on puzzle piece sizes. Thanks, Oldguy!  :)  Also, my Ravensberger puzzles have a picture of a puzzle piece on the front that says "actual size" by it, so I have an idea of what size the pieces are. I don't know if your puzzle has that, too, or if you can determine that when looking at it online. Just a thought of something else to look for - at least for if you see them in person before you buy.

This is my puzzle....sorry for the size.

But it's only 540 sq inches....so not what Oldguy recommends for larger pieces...

Lesson learned...

Clynn like you AM saying, always 'Peace'.   the new Ma Berry is lovely/majestic; Oh Harriet---needs a visit to the salon. LOL  I've noticed that eagles are rather fastidious. 
Awesome Des Moines sunset

Lisa interesting hot cocoa this AM

Tsk   Cute AM frogs today.   I take Xtra Strenght Tylenol caps at bedtime and upon rising--just to take 'the edge' off and keep my mind off my neck, spine ,hands and knee pain. I've been offered narcotics and turned them down saying I don't what the 'habit'.   

Eagles guess you're still 'safe' with those rains  ;)

Kb do I love that trio of black bear cubs---hairy backs and all.  Puney day weather wise for you. Glad it will improve.
 That's great---waking up to just one 'to do' and a fun one at that! Your so lucky to see BEs---Tig too.

Lani thankis for Royal Albatross news and snapshots and info. The rangers do take good care of them.  Sweet little pup in Keds last night.

Hi Baz luv the snap of LGN and her bro swinging all bundled up.

Kb The size is okay as it's not a gruesome type  image. Looks like fun IMHO

  Sent Dan an email this AM saying , I've heard so much about the Cali rains and all. That I became concerned.
 His reply---

"It's been pretty wet here, lots of rain, some hail, some wind damage (which I quickly repaired) but no flooding where I'm at.....yet.  Still living the dream   ;-)"
 ;) :)

Thanks Clynn  ;D

Kb, love your puzzle, that would be a hard one. I'm sending it to Aly.

Kb, Lisa, Tsk, Clynn, Phyl and all. the rangers will replace the albatross's egg with a dummy. it tickles me when they bring back the chick and place it under parent. Look of wonder comes across their face and no questions asked. They just start in parenting.  LOL!

KB   Yes, unless they show "actual size" photo of a piece on the front it is hard to tell piece size - I'm not to fond of the tiny pieces either. Great puzzle - Easy to sort pieces by color.  Fun one to do  I think we all learned a lesson from Oldguy today  LOL

LISA  Hmmm wonder where BB kitty is.  At least the white one has brought a slew of new kids to the food buffet  LOL  I'd have a hard time removing it as well.

OLDGUY   You are so smart!!!  I never thought to figure that out.  Thanks for the tip!! :-*  Mary  ;D

BAZI   Lil Bro is getting pretty big that he can hang on in a regular seat by himself now.  Sweet pic. ;D

PHYL   Dan is a kick!   Just a rain sis...I'm good.  ;D ;D ;D  Happy little Kookaberra

 I've met some musical peeps in my lifetime.

You'd have to look at my stuffed polar bear signed with a white Sharpie to find out.   :P 

I came to know Butch Trucks and that band through my older brother Jumbo who was a MSG security/ rigger/ roadie / sound Man/ groupie handler.

The by now very trusted roadie/ security 6.2' 250 lbs fire plug named Jumbo opened up many avenues .
I assisted him and made some great music and wildlife contacts.

One of them was a fan of eagles named Susan T.
She 1st turned me onto the DE's and this forum during the Diva days.

Phyl, love the early morning pics of the eagles, sometimes it's like 'find Waldo'!  The North cam looks fuzzy today, wonder if it's foggy? Decorah is clear:

Good to hear Dan is okay, but we always worry because sometimes men keep their worries to themselves...  29 here, 42 high for the day.

Lisa, great puzzle idea for those of us who don't have a space to dedicate!

Lani, Kay says she is fine, we will be going to her place tomorrow evening, so I will see just how fine. She has a next door neighbor, Dianna, who is checking on her as well. Linus and Snoopy...

BL, you have a very interesting life, to say the least!

Whoops....my city should have cancelled school....apparently it's too dangerous to drive.

I hear I might have to put my yaktrax on to carry Ollie back inside....people are rescuing their slipped dogs right outside their front door....I think I'll eventually let Ollie out the back (no steps) and have my yaktrax ready.

HI EVERYONE

40 heading to 50 - cloudy

LANI    LOL  So true about the magnifying glass   ;D  Love the rescued kitten meeting the big cats.  She has quite a set up there to introduce cats.

OLDGUY    Now pier and lily pads I would do.  ;) ;)

EAGLES  Lulu has definitely chosen Tim as the bed partner  LOL

BL   Meeting the musicians/bands was right up your alley.  Lucky you thanks to your brother.

LISA    I've seen those puzzle set ups.  Great for kids and young people  LOLOL  Have a good doc visit.

PHYL  Thanks for Amy's blog.

KB   Took me a sec to get the perspective on that amazing owl/vole pic. :o :o   Terrible situation for you all with the ice.  Watch out hospital ERs!
Sweet leopard rescued.

CLYNN    LOLOL on the Alexa piece.

Back to the vet today with Lulu - excessive scratching of mostly right ear...

BL - I had not heard of Tedeschi Truck band; thanks for some history/background on the group - very good! ;D

Lani - Hope Mike stays safe in this weather - good he checks in with you! Glad for Mike his basketball team won. :)   We are still getting rain, tomorrow we will get a little bit of a break. 

Tig - I think we are like you guys at dinner time! ;D

LisaG - Stay safe across that bridge and have a good appt.  Take care  :)

Phyl - I don't blame you for always being concerned & caring for your brother.  Thoughts & prayers that Dan always stays in remission.  Wishing him all the best in these CA rains & flooding.

Kb - Oh no, all that ice - be careful - wish you didn't have to step out even for a minute!    Awe, leopard cub(s).   Yikes-just saw the school bus  :o ::)

Clynn - Like your gifs & pics this morning  :)   Lol the Alexa  ;D

Tsk - Lulu has chosen Tim as her night time partner - awe so cute  ;D :)

All stay warm & safe.  We have an appt in the bay area this morning (to take care of some business), about an hour & 15 min drive, but with the rain it may take longer.  We are leaving extra early.

kb - Yikes on the ice, be careful!  Cool pic of the owl with the vole.  Oh no, the school bus. 

clynn - Yes, great idea for a puzzle table for those who don't have the extra space.  Great pic from DNN. 

tsk - Hope all goes well t vet with Lulu.  Doc appt was OK.  She said, I was pretty stable with the A1C over the holidays.  I told her that I was really trying to watch the carbs since the blood work, but have noticed that when I try to eat better my blood sugar goes up in the morning.  She told me to stop worrying about the A1C and just eat like I was before, but to get a lil more exercise.

E4E - Drive safely!

Clynn DNN was taken at 4:44Am---foggy. Cute greeting this AM. Thanks on Dan. Those steetl rods have to weigh his legs down---I fret about his ability to run and swim. He sent me this link listed below for the weather in Sacramento.
Great photo of Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge  and what looks like whore frost.

Tsk Lulu & Tim how sweet.  Good news from the vet. 'Paid adoption fee...waving the 2nd week..." soooo she's a keeper.

Tig breakfast for dinner is always good from time to time. Esp the one yo have planned

Lori sweet in more ways than one your AM post today.

Good Evening Beakers!

Bella and I had a fun day today! We went to Hobby Lobby, she wanted some marbles. She has been obsessed with marbles lately, and of course, we have a lot of marbles (yes, Ed buys those too)! She has been digging through them and pulling out the peewee marbles, only she keeps calling them 'kiwi marbles'.  ;D ;D We played a couple of games, did some art work and she wrapped presents tor her Mom, Dad and Talon. Just little things she found, I think she wrapped a marble for Talon.  ::)

Kb - Frozen & icy for you guys - glad that Ollie is content with staying indoors (no walking).

Tig - Glad it was a 'stay home' day - safer that way.    Yum! Enjoy your dinner  :)

Lori - Hi Lori - good to see you - how are you doing today?  Like all the gifs/pics - all so good!!

LisaG - Sounds like a good doc appt today  :)

Tsk - Congrats on finalizing your adoption of Lulu!!  ;D ;D   Oh my gosh - that crashing noise must have startled you.  :o   You will always remember that event happening on the day you finalized the adoption - a great conversation piece in later years.  ;)

Phyl - Thank you - there was sporadic rain on the trip, but all went really well - thankfully!  Not a good report on Utah's Great Salt Lake  :( :o

Clynn - Love all the Bella pics - but uh oh, the last pic - maybe feeling a little tired after all the marble playing? ;)  I remember loving marbles as a young girl too!!   How sweet she wanted to wrap presents for her family. :)   How nice that Ed has been buying marbles!

Everyone have a good night & sleep well - stay safe.

Tsk, How's Lulu tonight? .. oh no, Lulu took care of the resale stuff! Lucky it happened after adoption. LOL! Congratulations to Lulu!  ;D :-*

Eagles, Glad you both returned home safely through the rain. Terrible stories of the flooding. :( ... Mike returned home late today, and Dewey and Sadie did the happy dance! Cats were bored.

Kb great owl shot w/field mouse (vole).  Just adore the orphaned leopard pair from Russia. Conditons are bad, poor Ollie.  REad further---sounds like a good plan. Great photo of school bus. Gee you ourside photo---stay indoors!

Clynn DNN was taken at 4:44Am---foggy. Cute greeting this AM. Thanks on Dan. Those steetl rods have to weigh his legs down---I fret about his ability to run and swim. He sent me this link listed below for the weather in Sacramento.
Great photo of Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge  and what looks like whore frost.

Lisa good news from Doc---don't you have a treadmill or such? Could always go for walk with me. LOL

RIP Jeff Beck.
I saw him when he was with the Yardbirds in the mid-'60s.  For less than $3.00 at the Roof Garden, Arnolds Park, Lake Okoboji, I stood with the usual group of musicians at the foot of the stage (a one foot riser off the dance floor) and watched the show, getting guitar chords and checking out the band equipment.  Either Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton....or both....was with the band at the time, too.  Need to make a trip up to the park and check out the Museum at the Park and solve that mystery.
I'd stand there, less than ten feet from the group.  That's how I saw the Beach Boys, the Byrds, the Turtles, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, the Everly Brothers, and more I can't think of right now.
Hard to believe....no security or anything....and no problems with the crowd.

eburg, wow, you certainly had the right job back then! And yes, it was a different time in this world...

Phyl, thanks, I totally misinterpreted, I thought you meant at the end of your words to me...I watched the newscast, wow. Then I saw the sign 'Donner Pass 4'. There is s Memorial Marker in downtown Springfield, IL commemorating the starting place of the Donner Party when they left on that fateful trip...

Lani, Bella is really in to making funny faces, especially when I want to take her picture! Loves to use scissors, tape and glue... she keeps me on my toes, and all I need to fuel her with is mac n' cheese!

tsk, Honey is my cat for knocking things off onto the floor! And she is good at finding things to practice this skill! That sounds like a pretty heavy load to knock off though! I was looking to replace the ornaments that broke when they brought down the Christmas tree a few year ago. My favorite one, in the Keepsake The Beauty of Birds series that started in 2005, the Northern Cardinal (#1 in the series)- I can't find one for less than $150 even on eBay! Needless to say I didn't get it, I will keep looking... And we still love those darn cats!

Lisa, let's all go to Lani's and walk with her and Sadie...I would love to!  Better than a treadmill.  ;D ;D

RIP

   Right now, cloudy and windy   63F .  Later  heavy Thunderstormd and 66 F .  Nighttime 37 F scattered rain .

Had the Geek Squad here yesterday afternoon to help me with a couple of PC issues.


Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink and Nrstooge

Clynn Looks like you and Bella had loads of fun yesterday---that is some tiara.  ;)   Luv Hobby Lobby , loads of fun.  ;)   Thanks for Big Bear update and congrats to the pair.   

Tsk LOL Lulu.  Ditto Kb as  a new kitten/ young cat are just like having a toddler in the house, keep the floor picked up and boxes sealed and secured.
  Your new favorite word is  'NO!"    ;D :-*       Congrats Lulu on being an official member of the family and mind your 'Ps and Qs" .

Kb I heard that yesterday AM about Jeff Beck-wondered the same thing. RIP

Oldguy your cat gifs for Tsk  LOL    Luv the 'Q' kids thanks.

Sad followup to Amy's report - A couple weeks back an eagle was rescued on the north shore of Chgo's lakeshore.  It was taken for examination and treatment, with possible rodenticide effects.  It was!  We lost the poor eagle.  Yet another danger to the eagles.

37 degrees and that will be temp all day. CLOUDY

OLDGUY   Yes that is how it goes.  Have found coffee stirrers, pencils, paper clips on the floor in the morning.  Not used to a jumper.  ::) ;)

EAGLES  When we got all her paperwork yesterday we found out that she is actually 1 yr ad 3 months old not the 10 months to 1 year they had told us.  She was born on Oct 19, 2021.  When she was spaded in Dec she weighed 6.8#  She is a tiny one.

LANI  I used to flick the marbles with my index finger  LOL  Mike home safe and sound for a while.  ;D  Hope the plant is running well and his trainee continues to be responsible and a hard worker.   Sweet little Holly.

PHYL    LOL     Yes standing on the swing.  Am not sure I did that but others did.  Think I was kind of a chicken. :o    Rodenticides -  :P   Now on playgrounds many use ground up tires or the like and make the ground soft  - reduce injuries...How did we ever survive???

EBURGH   Boy were you lucky to live near where you could see all those incredible bands up close and personal.  Yes, it sure was a different time back then.

CLYNN   I'd walk outside any day to the treadmill which is why it gets dusty in the summer  LOL    Potatoes in the bag  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Andrew is heading over after noon to try and help me get that avalanche ( a tool) up on the roof...2 stories up, to move some snow.....if possible..
Got to really put something in the ends of the gutters to melt their frozen nature...or melting snow will just drip right over them...

Some leaking inside my screened porch....which is outside my house but this weekend warming temps might make it very wet.... Power line is almost being touched by snow over it's roof so won't be able to rake the snow off safely.

Forgot to mention, my twin brother got bacterial meningitis when he was 1 year old and almost died...This is really a disease of young children, particularly males...suspected it caused life long learning issues with bro.

bounce!!

Got in on a presale and got our tickets...  Billy Joel (for me) Stevie Nicks (for him) in the Fall. WooHoo!

Now... off to drive for an hour to the dentist. Lost a piece of a veneer the other day (on back of tooth, luckily). And an impression for a mouth guard. I discovered I grind my teeth during the day, percussion to go along with the constant ear worm of whatever tune is in my head! The dentist asked if I did because he noticed bone bumps below my teeth. I wish this would have been discovered years ago.
Going to leave early because we got some sort of precipitation early this a.m. I heard it rolling across the roof like on a quick wind. Strange.

tig - I noticed that weird type of precip early this am too as had to do a pick up for Chris and was worried about the roads.
Main lines down here at least are still good...lots of salt dropped with that ice storm yesterday.

But, now my decks after completely clearing them and drying are icy again...Not sure Andrew and I can work on them now....

Oh and another 5.5 to 6 inches predicted next week over a few days....my roof can't take it anymore.....nor can I :)

Drive safe.

Now I wonder, too, tsk if you saw the article in Monday's Trib.  Lead headline says "Illinois ranks 2nd behind Alaska for wintering raptors."  Pictures of the new Four Rivers Environmental Education Center in Channahon.  I went to see a program opening the new construction in Will County fall 2021.  The article also listed about 6 more Eagle Days in the  area, including Starved Rock and Great River Eagle Days in Quincy.

Six column article, almost a full page in section 1.  Clipped out the article to send it to Amy and the RRP group.  I better copy it and put it in a file first.  Interesting.

Puff, thanks for articles, there's a paywall, it's rare that I am able to move my arrow down page and ignore paywall request. I can't do that with Arizona, WP, NYT or Wall St articles.

Tig, fun concerts to look forward to! I'd go to the Stevie Nicks with Camper  ;D ... I hope all goes well at the dentist.

Tsk, Mike was promoted to run 4 plants this past early fall. Avon Lake, OH, Gila Bend, AZ, Austin, TX and Reserve, LA. He's busy retraining staff in Avon Lake, and all is well at the other three. His retirement date is April 2024.... Looks like you may be in an re-training program run by Lulu.  ;D

Phyl, the only way to ride a swing! Higher the better, I was a dare devil as a young Keiki.... good RRP blog, I'm mindful of that here.

Clynn, Love Harley's paw stretched out to you.... the potatoes! LOL!!!  ;D .. I was a swing jumper too. We marked where we landed as a contest. Teachers never said a peep.

{{{Hugs Lisa}}}

Eburg, Cool! Great moments  8)

OLDGUY  Kiss a Ginger day  ;D  We had been looking at gingers to adopt but all were adopted by the time we got there.  Loved to find the calico.  You never see too many of them at shelters.  Good news coming out of California  :)

CLYNN   :-* :-* :-*to Harley.

PUFF  Sometimes disabling your ad blocker works.

LANI    LOLOL  That's for sure.  We have to learn the new game plan in this house   ;) ;)  End in sight for Mike - YAY

eburg - Great memories/story about the Yardbirds! According to one story I read, Clapton joined the band in 1963 and left in 1965. Beck joined in 1965 on the recommendation of Page. Page, himself, joined the band (and Beck) in 1966. 1966 was one of the great milestone years in all sorts of ways.  :)

Today is turning into a major outbreak for tornados in the south.  The biggest one at this time was at Selma Al..  -  debris was found 20 miles away, shortly after - radar is still showing that the debris from Selma is still moving at the top of the storm cell and currently 80+ miles away at 20K ft.  This line of storms is now approaching Atlanta Ga.

Latest info - the Selma tornado remained on the ground for 55 miles.

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Lilbro, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, BL, Lori, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Puff, thanks for articles, there's a paywall, it's rare that I am able to move my arrow down page and ignore paywall request. I can't do that with Arizona, WP, NYT or Wall St articles.

Tig, fun concerts to look forward to! I'd go to the Stevie Nicks with Camper  ;D ... I hope all goes well at the dentist.

Tsk, Mike was promoted to run 4 plants this past early fall. Avon Lake, OH, Gila Bend, AZ, Austin, TX and Reserve, LA. He's busy retraining staff in Avon Lake, and all is well at the other three. His retirement date is April 2024.... Looks like you may be in an re-training program run by Lulu.  ;D

Phyl, the only way to ride a swing! Higher the better, I was a dare devil as a young Keiki.... good RRP blog, I'm mindful of that here.

Clynn, Love Harley's paw stretched out to you.... the potatoes! LOL!!!  ;D .. I was a swing jumper too. We marked where we landed as a contest. Teachers never said a peep.

{{{Hugs Lisa}}}

Eburg, Cool! Great moments  8)

Oldguy, Ginger Day! Happy to see it's a cat  ;D

Puff, I was able to ignore paywall and read article.

I know about being blocked - just didn't  know it was off hands for these two items. Same always goes for mail pintrest and twitter.  If I see that I just ignore that post and go on to the next.  Yep, I do chose to live on totally without those, especially twitter.

yah!....Andrew just left and was so impressed with my tool he went out and bought one for himself and his work.

He does think regular roof rakes damage the shingles and so got to use my avalanche and he also said it goes much quicker.

Doing the back, 2 story was difficult still...He literally had to sit on top of my pergola above my jacuzzi, use my tool with all extensions to get to the middle of my roof....poured salt down my one gutter we can reach with a 2 step ladder near my outdoor porch and then did the whole front of my house too.

My porch leaked all night long and all day.....can't remove snow in that area due to the mast and powerline.
As I stated the snow literally reaches the power line.

There was the beginning of an ice dam over the bathroom.....I think the bathroom vent might someone allow heat to escape either through the vent itself or it's not sealed tight anymore?....Was done years ago by an electrician.

Anyway, did the best we could and still a lot of snow on the back roof and gutters still frozen but we shall see.

Tomorrow I need to remove tons of snow that fell on my yews....and fix a wind chime.

Later, time to make dinner but PHEW!

TIG   thought you were talking about 2 concerts - WOW  Such a deal.  Saw  Man Called Otto this afternoon.  Had read the book "Ove" a couple years ago.  Was a good book to make into a movie.  Loved Marisol.

KB   You are doing all you can.   Just be careful of your own health and glad Andrew saw a new tool he could use.  It takes a village.

Tsk I gather all the Lulu activity is while y'all are asleep.  Enjoy these times ---from what I've read, 5 cat yrs equals about 1 calendar year and 1 month is equal to  5.5 cat months all ppproximate of course.  ;)   An indoor kitty,  it's first year is about 18 yrs old +/- so add   about 5 yrs to that as each year passes---she'll be 30 something before you know it. You can look this up online. My brain might be a tad 'fuzzy'.
Dogs age a bit differently, of course.
I love Maggie so much  :-*

Lisa it was a nasty Thunderstorm. And we had hail between .25 and .50 inches. I pert near thought the windows were gonna crack. Don't want to see the roof. Guess we ought to though.
Actually, Geek Squad couldn't fix the problem. And, told me I'd have to correct the issue on a piece by piece basis as occassion brought to surface. I do know 'what not to do' though. 

Clynn enjoyed the 'swing' photo. I did that too. We called it 'bailing out" like out of an aeroplane.  Count of '3' and  leap.  I never cared how high I went---loved the thrill of it all. Mom always put me in pinnafore dresses and put me in thights to match my dress ---unless it was summer then I went bare leg.  I had to be more modest and wore shorts underneath---boys!   ::)
She finally stopped with the white tights when I came home and they were brown from the desert dirt and iron dust that filtered  down wind from the open pit mine. It coverd 'bout everything out doors.  Merry-go-round, jumped off those too.  Injuries  ::)

{{Kb}} Jeff Beck, 'Danny Boy'. Lovely rendition. Oh that cute seal pup!  :-*  Your brother, oh my.  All that frozen precep. Glad Andrew is handy for you.  I know you will--- Do becareful!  Praying for you!

Tig  Way to go! Now all you have to do is plan and wait. Such fun concerts. Teeth grinding  :(  Hope all goes well for you on that front.  Safe driving!

Eagles Dan sent me a link to some weather radar. Shows most of the storm at it's most severe in Oregon.

Tsk thanks for the mini review of "...Man Called Otto."  From the trailer, looks to be a really good flick---Tom Hanks, fantastic as always.

some bounce

Such a beautiful drive. Update: it was not the veneer but an old filling, cool. And he put some filling where I had ground through the surface of a gold crown. The impressions were a slight torture, of course. The mouth guard will be worn at night with a slight jut to the jaw, to assist with any apnea. And no pain med! I asked for some "gas" to go. Dentist laughed.

A Lean Cuisine butternut squash ravioli with veggies for me. Camper will eat at the indoor hockey rink where he is taking some pics tonite.

SED all
(KB)    we decided to leave some of the berm the snowplow left at the end of our drive, on the side we don't use... in hopes the next plow won't be able to throw snow beyond it. I've mentioned before... when the plow comes down our street, the yard next to us has no driveway, so there is a lot of snow built up that gets dumped into our drive. (Our cigar-shaped block is between two streets, with half the driveways on the west and half on the east street). Bizarre.

Post by: kbshcb on January 12, 2023, 06:28:28 PM

tig - I hear ya....while I was out front with Andrew removing snow from my roof, 2 bobcats came to remove snow from behind the apartment complex across the street.

Andrew says go ask them if you give them a 20 bill they will break down your pile at the end of your driveway.
So I did.....unfortunately, there is no where to put it he says...except in my garden.....nope I said, but thanks anyway.

This pile is 15 feet out from the curb, a city issue, plus my neighbors add to it and Andrew can no long push snow with his big plow into this berm from my driveway.....so now we have no where to put it for next week's snow....

Ugg, is all I can say.

Clynn - Your Harley is such a beautiful kitty!
Lani - Mike sure has a lot of responsibility with his job -  I hadn't realized he was promoted to run 4 Plants. :o  He is a strong man!
Tig - As Lani mentioned, I too would love to see Stevie Nicks!  You & Camper will have so much fun.  Oh wow, just read it is one concert - that's perfect!!  Glad your dentist took care of your tooth. 
Tsk - Had to LOL when you say you had to abort your post due to a certain cat - let the fun begin! Lol  ;D
LisaG  :)
Hi Puff
Kb - Sounds like you & Andrew have a good handle on taking care of your roof situation -  you guys make a great team!  Love the beautiful sweet pic of you & Ollie  :-* :)

Thanks T40 for the research.  Must have been the summer of '66 then.  High school grad looking toward my freshman year at Iowa State.  Beck and Page were the two lead guitars for sure, but there was also a 3rd guitar and he wore this hat Eric Clapton had worn on the back LP photos or the teen mags or the Ed Sullivan show....somewhere....and I always wondered if it might have been him.  That's why I need to go to the Museum at the Lakes.

Got to thinking....it might have been "the Summer of Love, 1967.  Depends on when the tour was, and that's tough to figure even with Wikipedia.  :)
But leaning toward "66 cuz my band played "Shape of Things" the summer of '66 (along with "Satisfaction", "Louie, Louie", "Gloria", "Wild Thing", "Little Red Riding Hood", "House of the Rising Sun", "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Midnight Hour", "Little Latin Lupe Lu", "Good Lovin'", "Paint It Black", some Kinks, "She's Not There", "Wipeout", "Hey Joe", "Get Off My Cloud", others.....and the dance floor was always busy!!)....sigh!

Lani, oh those ginger kittens! Harley was so little when we got him, he's now a big boy (and a turdbutt).  He hadn't attacked the paper towels for a while, so I put the roll back on the holder. He knew and and he attacked them as soon as I went to the store!

E4E, Harley is the bad boy of all of the cats I have had... but we still love him!

eburg, you bring back many memories with those songs, I think I know every word to all of them (at least as well as we could know the words back then... ;D)! I was just starting High School when you started college so our music is the same, the years of the best music...CSN&Y, Grassroots, Simon & Garfunkel, the old Bee Gees, CCR... so much good music in the late 60's.

Phyl, Bob was very famous! People love good animal stories and he was certainly a celebrity! I was going to say we called it 'bailing out' when we jumped out of the swing, you hit the nail on the head...bravery was measured by how high you could go and then jump! I don't ever remember a teacher telling us to stop! I remember wearing a dress with either shorts or pants or tights, Mom made dresses for me and my sister Cathy.

Sue Bruhling - Good Morning!! I went into check on our Babies down in Southwest Florida and this is what I found this morning!! Two Cutie Patootie's I watched a feeding and noticed not much Bonking going on!! Could it be that E22 is catching up in size to E21??? 😉 or just because there is a good food supply!! 🙂

In that photo, I was already wearing my snowpants and yaktrax.....waiting for Andrew to show up.

Of course we did NOT let Ollie outside when sliding those heavy chunks of snow off the roof..

Morning eagle buddies

Eburg - We listen to 60's & 70's music quite a lot - love all the songs and groups you listed! ;D  Hope you get to visit Museum at the Lakes.

Lani - Like your night pic.  Are you still getting any rain or snow?   Have a nice day in Phoenix  :)

Phyl - Interesting accidental momentous inventions - thank you - I will need to go back and read!  So sad about Lisa Marie Presley - RIP

Clynn - Like the pic of Lisa Marie & Elvis.  We were shocked to hear this on the news yesterday evening.   Thanks for posting Sue Bruhling - sweet pic  :-*

Morning Tsk, Puff & All

LisaG - Safe travel across the bridge and have a nice day  :)

Lori - Like your Friday 13th gifs - cute!  Wishing you all the best at your appt. and hope Destini has a good visit with the Vet. {{Lori}}

Tig - Have a great pool day  :)

Oldguy - Thanks for link; blame someone else day!

PHYL   Was only aware of a couple of those accidental inventions.  Interesting.

CLYNN   What a sweet pic of Lisa Marie and Elvis.  Sue's report of not much bonking at SWFL would be a miracle  LOL

LANI   Enjoy the day in Phoenix - Safe trip.

LISA  In considerable discomfort.  Next appt is the spine doc on Jan 24th.  Am calling twice a day to see if there are cancellations so I can get in sooner.  This is ridiculous.

LORI   That's right - Friday  13th!  :o :o

TIG   You deserve a pool day today.  :)

OLDGUY    " Blame someone else" day - easy enough to do  LOL

KB   Beautiful large cat.

Lulu has now vomited 3 times in 10 days.  We are just not sure how to feed her.  She is a very hyper cat.  I need to do some research on this.
Any ideas?

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on January 13, 2023, 10:27:54 AM

tsk - oh sorry about Lulu....I imagine you've contacted your vet already?...
I would check out Royal Canin cat food, specifically the one for digestive issues.
I have had the same issue with Ollie man his whole life and only buy a hydrolized protein dog food bag from Royal Canin.....to start anyway?

Also sorry about your back...or um really the inability to see a Physician in a timely manner...to put it nicely.
Been there done that unfortunately...many times over.
The system needs a big fix...

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: oldguy on January 13, 2023, 10:48:26 AM

tsk - some things we found to work for our cat...
Water - no tap water - filtered worked for us for a few years - the last 2 years we used distilled.
Food - Rachael Ray Nutrish Inner Health dry food - this was the food that helped our cat the most.
Feeding schedule - the vet early on wanted us to restrict the amount of food available - small amounts with frequent feeding. 
Determine if the cat is eating too fast or too much - either will contribute to vomit - if only eating too fast, this bowl would help...
https://www.chewy.com/petstages-kitty-slow-feeder-cat-bowl/dp/253604
If eating too much then frequent feedings of small amounts is the answer.
We ended up getting an automatic feeder - the one we used is no longer made - it could be set for up to 8 feedings per day - cat would go running, every time it would drop food.
Here is the best I could find on Chewy...
https://www.chewy.com/pawple-automatic-dog-cat-feeder-20/dp/262057

Hyper activity in cats:
Lot of info here.
As you scroll the page there's section that addresses symptoms, click 'more'. And, you'll find that Vomiting and diarrhea, a(due to the hyperactive metabolism) are anong the symptoms.
https://www.bing.com/search?q=hyperactivity+in+cats+symptoms&qs=SC&pq=hyper+activity+in+cats&sk=SC1&sc=10-22&cvid=D047588037C14478A4F2D8B4A73DDF33&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=2 (https://www.bing.com/search?q=hyperactivity+in+cats+symptoms&qs=SC&pq=hyper+activity+in+cats&sk=SC1&sc=10-22&cvid=D047588037C14478A4F2D8B4A73DDF33&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=2)

But, call the vet.!
Maggie's water is always filtered as is ours. We use a PUR filter fitting on the tap.  The water  and ice from the fridge is also filtered.
 How do you wash her dishes?
 Never, never, never use bleach!toxic and you could be slowly poisionng her. Just put in dish washer on bottom rack and wash on the 'Sani' setting. Let the scalding water /detergent do the rest. ;)

 Is she 'inhaleling her food--gulping/wolfing it in? If she's wolfing her food---she's prob  really hungry.  Your vet can help figure out why. 

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: tsk34 on January 13, 2023, 12:04:47 PM

OLDGUY    All good suggestions.  She is pretty much on only wet food for now.  I like that slow eating bowl - On line, using an egg carton was suggested for the slow eating dry food LOL

PHYL   Good articles on hyperactivity in cats.

tig - Hope you had a great pool day.

oldguy - Blame someone else day!  ;D

kb - Awww, pretty sleeping kitty at the zoo.

E4E - Thanks, hope you have a good day, too.

((tsk)) - I hope and pray they can get you in sooner, and not make you wait 10 more days. Some good advice from oldguy and Phyl for Lulu.   

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Phyl on January 13, 2023, 03:02:57 PM

Something else, Tsk. Low blood sugrar?  Nerves? Fear something else will eat her food?  Try not to control her food intake too much---this could make her more hungry and contribute to a worse condition.

Try an elevated feeding station---you want to keep her head and neck aligned in a straight horisontal plane. At the very least keep her dishes off the floor in a holder that's 6"s high from floor to top of dish holder.   I can show you (in photos) what I  did for Maggie as she was barfing up her chow from time to time. I did this from dishes I have in the cubboard that I was'nt using. Once I did this Maggie was fine.


Oh do you give her treats?   If you havent thought of this---may I suggest, Catit is a creamy real poulty or fish  treat in a tube  that's squeezed as kitty licks the top. The Catit treat is high protine and will help Lulu keep her protine levels up and stave of hunger.   And, give Greenies in  roasted chcken or ocean  tuna. Those are great for the teeth and gums.

HAPPY FRIIII-DAAAAY, BEAKERS!  :)

Stay out from under ladders today.   8) ;)

I was fearless on the swingset, and jumping from it. We marked our distance, as if it were a long jump contest. I often won  ;)  but took home as my prize lots of grass stain on my palms and knees (and clothes - sorry, Mom), along with some occasional scrapes to go with.  ;) :D  I was also fearless on the merry-go-round, which could never go too fast for me, and I could never lean out as far as I wished I could've while holding on to the bars - loved the "G-Force" and centrifugal force of it, and wanted more, more, more!  ;D  It was my all-time favorite playground equipment.

Eburg, that's the music of my days, too.  I would've been a groupie of your band.  ;D

(((Tsk))) and (((Lulu)))

(((Lori))) and (((Destini)))

Lani, safe travels today!

Clynn, loved your "Wednesday With Bella" pics!  :-*

Tsk - 'Squeeky wheel gets the grease'; keep calling your Doc's office and I bet they get you in sooner!  Terrible to be in such pain. {{Tsk}}            My suggestion is to feed Lulu smaller amounts and don't leave food sitting in her bowl.  Just give her what she will eat during the moment.  I see Oldguy gives some good advice too.   I used to have cats, but only have my dog now and I think the same applies for cats & dogs (small frequent feedings).

Oldguy - I agree with what you suggested to Tsk; no Tap water.  I only give my chihuahua purified drinking water (not faucet water).  You gave great suggestive help to Tsk.    Thanks for links & updates!

LisaG - Hope all went well for you today.

Hi Baz!

Lani gosh! You had a busy day. Hope doc visits went well.  Awwww last night's snoozing canine/feline.

{{Tsk}} one day up on doc appt is one day closer---keep checking back with them.  Lots of cats take Catit in a dish. {{Lulu}}

 I give Maggie her BP med/Cosequin mixed in a small amn't of Catit chicken (fish/seafood makes her barf--doesn't set well with her tummy so I don't serve it or anything akin at all). 
 During the colder months I warm one of those tiny condiment serving dishes to ‘blood temperature’ as per vet so her food /meds are more pleasant to consume. She dives right into the stuff----devoured in a blink

18 here right now, high 43 today. Sounds good to me, it has been windy and cold the last few days!

Lani, yes, you surely had a long day yesterday! Always good to be home.  Glad you got to visit some old friends!

oldguy, those cats and Claire's new fridge!

tsk, one day at a time, you just never know when a spot will come up. Glad you are calling twice a day! On cats, Harley throws up quite often, he eats his food too fast! I do have raised dishes, but now I am going to try the purified water. We have a water conditioner, I never thought about that affecting them. It's hard having to feed them separately because of the prescription food Harley has! I catch them eating each other's food now and then.  All those tornadoes in the south...terrible...

baz, those were great times on the playground, no one ever told us to stop!  How fast can we go on the merry-go-round? Fast enough to throw us off if we let go!  And I don't ever remember anyone getting hurt bad enough to call an ambulance, just scrapes and bruises... I remember big red welts from getting hit in Dodge Ball but we just kept on playing.

E4E, you're still keeping dry?

Phyl, I have tried those creamy cat treats like Claire has for her cats, my cats won't touch them! Does Maggie like them? Very funny cat shames, road kill is my favorite!

Phyl - Great kitty shames this morning.  Weather app says, 3 days of wind here, and at the moment its 17mph.  I know it doesn't seem like alot, but it makes for a bad hair day.  ;D

Lani - Sounds like you had a good day in the Valley.   :D

BrokenLug - Cool snow streamers on the map.

E4E - All went well today, another check-up next year.  :)

tsk - Sorry to hear about Kelsey's grandparents losing their home in the tornado.  Thank goodness they were not home!

clynn - Oh, you all have been windy and cold too.  Aww, the baby twin ellies, how cute!  Adorable pic from SueB of the SWFL kiddos.  Thanks!

She's definitely not stressed. Look how she's stretched out, paws out front. She knows this is her home, it's her safe space. "Mine all Mine!"  ;D

Clynn wild Caturday this AM; Thanks for Sue's update on SWFL's E21 and 22. Nice temps for your area---everyone is getting 'those winds' and it isn't March! 
Maggie doesn't eat what Claire feeds her cats.   Maggie likes the Catit brand (USA). You definitely have a challenage with different dietary requirements.  All one can do is their best.  ;)  Harley/Honey  :-*

Lisa with these winds, hairspray sales will soar!

Tsk It all takes time with a new cat in  household.  Such a sweet snap of {{Lulu}} at rest---a contented kitty.  ;)  :-*

Lani  You and Sadie have a nice walk this AM

E4E - The cupcake frosting sounds delish! Are you all going out to dinner for Kris' birthday?

kb - Nice shot from Katie.

oldguy - CJ is pretty!  I don't think Bandit would let me dress him up.  I would get the death claws. ;D  Thanks for the videos, getting ready to watch now.

Phyl - I agree with the hairspray sales.  Today is one of those days where you need AquaNet (the hairspray that holds)!  ;D

Happy Birthday to E4E's Kris!!!

We are watching the 9'er / Seahawks game right now, but we took time out to see all the wonderful birthday wishes for Kris!  All of you really made his day extra special!!!!  Thank you so much Tsk, Kb, Oldguy, Tig, Lani, Phyl, Clynn, LisaG, Lori  ;D ;D

Oldguy - Love the pic of your MIL kitty CJ  :)  Have a great night at cards - hope you win!!  Great links - I will need to go back and look. :)

Phyl - Cute kitty in the snow gif!  Beautiful pic of the Servals  :)

Lani - Like the kitty in the box this morning-cute!

Clynn - How did you ever find that Delorean??!!  Kris loved it!!!

LisaG - Yes, we are going to a restaurant in Pacific Grove (about a 40 min drive from here).  If it was raining a lot, then we were going to stay here.  I had bought stuff at the store yesterday to make a nice dinner in case we had decided not to drive out to the restaurant.  The rain over here stopped around 11 this morning.

LORI   How did your injections go?

Hi tsk & beakers!  well... I was able to drop Destini off at the vets on the way to my appointment thanks to my "driver" :)  Then at my appt the nurse puts me in room 13 on Friday the 13th lol :) I told her it will bring me luck :) They did the 4 facet joint injections 2 level bilateral L4-5 and L5-5 without putting me under this time because i had eaten saltines 5 hours prior ugh  ::)  I don't want to do that awake ever again with "nummies" in my spine. Anyway, it went ok.
 Then the vet ended up keeping Destini all day.  "Apparently" Destini bit the vet and so they asked if they could knock her out to check her out because they needed to take urine from her bladder to test it etc... So she does have a UTI and a small amount of crystals. She is on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pills which she is actually being good when I give them to her "so far" :)
 I have been sleeping pretty much since I got home yesterday... hopefully my spirits will be better because I miss you all and talking to you everyday :)  I even missed Jackie (Big Bear) laid her first egg and probably second one by now!  I 💜 Ms. Jackie :)
 Destini says hi toLulu and all the fur & feather babies in the beak.  She will be going back to the vet in 2 weeks for recheck and shave & nails.  So since it's Caturday posting this pic in honor of my little sweet innocent princess Destini ;D

Goodnight all SED's hugs and prayers for each and every one of you!

LORI   How did your injections go?

Hi tsk & beakers!  well... I was able to drop Destini off at the vets on the way to my appointment thanks to my "driver" :)  Then at my appt the nurse puts me in room 13 on Friday the 13th lol :) I told her it will bring me luck :) They did the 4 facet joint injections 2 level bilateral L4-5 and L5-5 without putting me under this time because i had eaten saltines 5 hours prior ugh  ::)  I don't want to do that awake ever again with "nummies" in my spine. Anyway, it went ok.
 Then the vet ended up keeping Destini all day.  "Apparently" Destini bit the vet and so they asked if they could knock her out to check her out because they needed to take urine from her bladder to test it etc... So she does have a UTI and a small amount of crystals. She is on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pills which she is actually being good when I give them to her "so far" :)
 I have been sleeping pretty much since I got home yesterday... hopefully my spirits will be better because I miss you all and talking to you everyday :)  I even missed Jackie (Big Bear) laid her first egg and probably second one by now!  I 💜 Ms. Jackie :)
 Destini says hi toLulu and all the fur & feather babies in the beak.  She will be going back to the vet in 2 weeks for recheck and shave & nails.  So since it's Caturday posting this pic in honor of my little sweet innocent princess Destini ;D

Goodnight all SED's hugs and prayers for each and every one of you!

It's been a week. Or two, or three. A friend went in to hospice care on Dec. 27th, and passed on New Year's Day. I've been in a funk. Her son lives in my quad, so I've been taking some homemade comfort food meals to his home the last couple of weeks. His mother's memorial service was today. It was as beautiful as she was.



Good night, and take care, Beakers. SED.

We had a wonderful dinner at 'Beach House Restaurant' in Pacific Grove.  It was our first time going there, and we will definitely go back.  It was wonderful food & service and nice ambiance and located right next to the ocean.  When we left out of the restaurant, walking to our car, there were 3 deer about 25 feet from our car, they just looked at us and kept grazing.  We took a few pictures.  It was a fun evening.   

Everyone have a good night.

27 heading to 44 - wind chills today.  partly sunny

LORI   Finally those injections which I hope will be the resolution to all of your pain.   Poor little Destini.  Both of you now on the road to recovery
((((Lori, Destini))))

BAZI    Back to the future DeLorean  :o :o   Oh my  So sorry about your friend's passing.  Your kindness to the family during this time was a blessing.

PHYL   Beautifully photographed good night kitty.  Love the sunrise at GSB this AM

LANI    Neither Lucy or Lulu will touch the tube treats either.  They would eat if you put it in their dish  LOL.    All of Claire's cats seem to love them  ::)    What we are doing with Lulu's food is offering only kibble for now til things settle down.  So far so good the past 24 hours.  This morning tho when I put the kibble down on her tray she did not want it but paced and paced.  Finally after about 10 minutes,  I walked with her back to the Kibble and she ate some.  Bottom line - she only ate if I was standing there  LOLOL  Baby steps.     Dog and cat "weekending"  LOLOL

EAGLES  I'm going to Google that restaurant when done - what a perfect evening!  Gorgeous location for dining.  I love eating by the water.  Extensive menu.  Would have a hard time deciding  ;)

CLYNN   Carol's clip of the SWFL dual feeding goes to the heart of raising baby eagles.  Teamwork  :)

E4E  I put that on the list - Beach House Restaurant in Pacific Grove, CA  It does look interesting.

Another fav of mine in the same area: Rocky Point at Monterey.  Same attractions: View, roar of the ocean, great food.  They just switched ownership and are temporarily closed.  If they open and I'm in the area, for sure, it will be one of my stops.

Happy, Happy to Kris.

This beautiful GHO and mate has been hanging around our area for the last month. Every morning before sunrise you can see male on a roof top and female on top of Ponderosa pine chatting to each other. This is about the time Sadie and I leave our home and start our morning two mile walk. This Wednesday when Mike and I returned from the valley. We let out the dogs on the great room 2nd floor patio, the cats follow. There's a tall Juniper that faces the patio, I notice at least 8 Mexican Pinon Jays loudly chirping, flapping wings, moving from one branch to another surrounding this beauty who was intently staring at me from the middle of the juniper. Closeup they are huge, those eyes are very challenging, no fear of anyone or anything at all. For me it was goosebump time, and I hurried Dewey and cats back in. Sadie just watched from her patio bed. And after 10 minutes the jays had chased the GHO out of the tree and away from their territory. Which is our area and bird feeders. LOL! 

Good morning Beakers!

Whew and holy moly....Ollie and I ventured out for our first walk since before our storm started?..maybe close to two weeks ago?...the sun is out and it's about 37....first opportunity to melt things a bit...
The roads are just awful....and Ollie was not his usual nice boy today...think it was cause he wanted to sniff the huge snow banks as he hasn't been out in so long.....Trouble was about 15 out from curb was pure ice and it's thick...3-6 inches thick...it ain't going anywhere anytime soon...for the most part it was necessary for me to walk in the middle of the road as many blocks had tire tracks...some none...

Not fun for me at all...won't be doing that again for awhile...close to a mile and hilly, but warm ;) Now we know.

Sounds like your walk, Lani, was much more enjoyable!.

some bounce
(KB) ... yep, ice. Yuck.
Well... I looked out this a.m. and saw a dead vole, tootsies up, on our welcome mat. Left there as a gift from one of the neighbor cats?!?? My Bro comes by after his church service to borrow our snow rake and he is carrying a White Castle bag (they often stop there for a snack after service) and I think... Ooo he is bringing me a W.C. Nope. Was a bag with which to remove the vole. LOL.

LOL, I see tons of sparrows on top of my jacuzzi cover licking up the water from the snow/ice falling down from the rafters of the pergola....SKOL

I made carnitas yesterday, besides a different dinner for yesterday, and put the whole crockpot when done in the fridge.
Will just need to sear/heat it up in the frying pan now in advance of the game!

Time to air out the warm gloves - everyone having some time outside today.  Gave the birds some fresh fill for the feeders. Well, I at least got to the three at the kitchen bay.  Had a chickadee show up for oily sunflower while I was still filling. Had 4 more birds, goldfinch, on the nyjer feeder by the time I got back inside.  It will be busier soon when the bulletin is spread!

I was glad to find that what I thought had happened to the oily feeder is what had happened.  The seed basket is one of those circled with a heavy wire cage so only small song birds get to chow down.  I do put one of those black cone baffles to keep squirrels from going up the pole and hanging on the wire while pulling out seeds with their feet.  What happened (and what I thought had happened) was those 40-50 mph winds got under the baffle blowing it up the pole and taking up the baffle and feeder, blowing them all to the ground.  Nothing broke, it was all metal makings.  All I had to do was line things up in the right order.

Only casualty was a rabbit.  I'm assuming--looked like rabbit fur scattered in the grass.  I know there was one that I saw scamper out of a close bush a few times this summer.  I wish it had been my friend the squirrel.  >:(   Nope all the "stuff" I tried didn't work.

But at least the birds are happy.  We've got a cold front with wind that moves in after Monday.  They will need to eat to stay warm.

Eagles,  What a lovely evening and birthday for Kris and you.  The three deer was a perfect ending to the evening. Love the Beach House menu and the sunset views must be awesome. Your clouds have moved over our area now.... It started raining last night, and expected to turn into snow tonight and continue the next two days... 

Phyl, stunning sunrise pic... sweet pics of The Norths...

Clynn, Oh no! on your first morning post :o I hate that....  I hope all goes well for the Big Bear Eagles. and eaglets.... gorgeous pic of the cardinal gathering... sweet feeding for SWFL eaglets...

Tsk, Where do you keep Lulu's food dish? Looks like she's use to company at mealtime... as you say "baby steps" :-*

Kb, beautiful lilies for Jilltosa... I know how you feel. Sadie is like Ollie, she always has to dig her nose in the snow during walks and is more excitable. All the animals scents are stronger after a rain and snow. She tugs on the leash on those days.... carnitas sounds yummy!

Tig, bro-WC bag for vole! LOL!

{{{Puff}}} a good day between rain drops to fill up our bird feeders too. I think my squirrel population is low because of the GHO. And rabbit sightings have been rare.

Peepspy sent me this pic of a gray seal pup that's ready to explode!  ;D

TIG   The vole is going out in style  LOL

LISA   Tomorrow I start my calling the docs office again a couple times a day looking for cancellations  LOL Need to get a visit this week get a visit this week  ::)

PUFF  Valiant effort getting outside today.  Winds sure don't let it feel like 42 degrees.  Your birds are happy tho.  :)   Rain moving in tomorrow.

LANI   I think you meant the Lulu comment for me and not CLYNN.  Her dish - now elevated - is in the kitchen away from all the hustle and bustle. The vet at the shelter e-mailed today and I told her where we were at and if she had any suggestions.  We'll see if she replies.  That's one big rolly-polly on the sand  :o :o

tsk - on the highways and the County roads they do...they use an industrial strength kind of mixture.
On residential roads you are right, they limit it....the environmentalists have gone overboard.
Although, I did e mail our Public Works supervisor and ask her to at least prioritize hills....on the few blocks of hills there was more tar showing.

We have what's called a no dry pavement policy for residential roads...which means tar isn't a priority and the mixture they do use when they do is "environmentally friendly"....
Not safe at all

Although I'm usually on the look out for them. Still had to make a dash for my iphone.
The starlings are a problem. Inspite of them, I was able to catch this...

This looks like  our male, CR-29

Hi Beakers

Oldguy - love the vid of Jeff Beck in Oct. 2022 - thanks for posting.

Lori - Hope you & Destini feel better soon.  Take care sweet Lori - hugs.

Tsk - Will Kelsey's Grandparents (who lost their home to a storm) be staying with relatives?   Sure hope you get in to your Doctor's office this week.

Phyl - Like your pretty morning pic.  We had a cool day of about 59 and now raining.  Love the cam pics  ;D

Clynn - Oh no, losing a post is no fun - sorry! :(   Wow, I was just on the Big Bear live cam and it is a clear reminder to me of what M&D Decorah used to endure (snow/ice). :o ::)   Like SWFL  :-* :)

Tsk - Good to hear that Lulu ate her kibble (even though you had to stand there). ;)    Although the restaurant we were at last night was right along the ocean, we could only see city lights in the distance as it was completely dark!  We each had the Salmon dinner - so yummy & delicious! We also had a cup of Clam Chowder as our appetizer, and they brought warm, soft bread & butter to the table.

Tig & Kb - watching the 4th quarter of the game!  SKOL!   Then afterwards, we will be watching the next game with the Ravens.

LisaG - Like your morning gif! Hope you & Jeff are enjoying a nice weekend.

Kb - Interesting about the 'Silverback' - very impressive (and scary)!  Hope you, Chris & Ollie are having a nice Sunday, warm & inside day.  ;D    Love your birthday post for Jilltosa.    Loved watching Stevie & Jeff - great vid!!

Lani - Cute birthday post for Jilltosa.   Love the GHO story you told us about, thanks for sharing and love the picture!!

Puff - Yes, Rocky Point in Big Sur has been closed quite a while.  If you are in the area, we will find another place to have a wonderful meal!   I told Kris you wish him a happy birthday and he says a big 'Thank you' - he truly appreciates it.

Oldguy - Hope you had a good night at cards!  Beautiful birthday post for Jilltosa!

Tig - Oh no, your brother with the empty W.C. bag  :o ::)  I had to Lol - sorry!! ;D   But, you should tell him next time he brings a bag out like that, there should be something good in it!! ;) ;D

BL - Looking like your team will win . . . .

All have a good evening.

E4E - Reading your comment to tsk about the meal, sounds good. We did have a nice weekend, and Jeff is off today for the holiday, and also took an extra day tomorrow.   :D

BrokenLug, tig and kb - Sounded like an exciting team, congrats to the winner!

Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Nrstooge and Pink


{{Tsk[}}  I hear ya on your foot issues. After the arthroscopy of meniscus R. knee several years back I developed a weakness in the lower leg and foot.
Dispite PT which continues to this day, I still have to make a very conscience effort to pick it up and put in down in a normal fashion. :( 
 Hopefully your issues are temporary.  And a early appointment w/ doc is on the horizon  ;)

Lani  Awww   panda and cub.   Tks for Royal Albatross update---I'm hit and miss on them.

HI EVERYONE

Mid 40's all day.  Rain moving in by 8 AM for most of the day.

EAGLES   I will check on Kelsey's grandparents today.  Believe there is a dtr in the area??

KB    I think the Vikings had a great season overall. They can be proud.   That Ibex reminds me of the humans that grow obscenely long fingernails  :o :o

LANI   Again such a beautiful camera view this year for the Royals  :)  Anticipation.  Awww   Sweet reunion.  That is one tiny baby panda!!

LORI   Hope there is enough of that coconut cake for us all.  Delish!

LISA   Any special plans for the long weekend?

PHYL    Great slo-mo capture on the coffee  :D

Thanks Tig, sorry about the game, Mike said it was one of the best! He watched all the games, I stopped to watch throughout the day.

Mahalo Eagles!  ;D .. It's been non-stop raining since last night. We drove Sadie and Dewey to the dog park in the rain. They both ran around loving getting soaked and got their duties done!  ;D

Tsk, yes, cake for everyone!!!  :-*

Clynn, love the peanut family. It's been raining non-stop here. It's very exciting to see a former albatross chick fledge and return after their long journey to South America. Wild Heart Ranch Lemur  :-*

Kb, thanks, and sorry about the game last night. Mike watched all the games yesterday. I can't believe the horns on the Ibex.

Puff, thank you! I'll send a virtual piece to you and all! Mike gave me a box of coconut chocolates candy. Yum!

Lisa, thank you for birthday greeting! And it is a nice b'day!  ;D

Phyl, stunning birthday cake thank you  :-* .... funny dog shames... thanks for pics of Decorah pair.

I have an appt at 3:15 TODAY    It could have been my last sentence to the operator " I'm desperate to have an earlier appt"

Was just reported a dead cougar in Bloomington MN, along side Highway 77 and Old Shakopee Road.

this is near my old stomping grounds where I grew up....or in the same corridor along the MN River bottoms.

They are now passing through the area.

Not a typical animal in MN anymore, but more frequently seen.

we're good, but its by Mom's house.  She lives in a double wide which is so unsafe.  I told her to go to the office shelter with Salem & Harlee but it's hard to manuever the 2 pets alone.  She stayed in the closet with the pets during Derecho and it damaged the house and broke windows but she was just fine. It keeps moving up and down, it has touched down but then goes back up.   Weird, also there is a wall cloud. Headed torwards Wisconsin now... moving out...

Indeed about the cougar....If you looked at a map one could easily imagine one following up the Minnesota River from the West....However, once it got into heavy traffic near highways I'm pretty sure it was struck at night by a truck..

Lisa, Jeff's Lego work looks great, he is an expert!  Sydney got Erin a Lego set for his 30th birthday, he is a huge fan of Manchester United Football (Soccer) so she got him this set. He was never a Lego kid but Talon loves Legos so maybe some day they will do it together! And I will never have to worry about Birthday and Christmas presents for Talon...there will always be Legos!

Lisa, https://beyondfrosting.com/coconut-custard-cake/   https://livforcake.com/pineapple-cake/

Lori, I hope all the scary weather has passed and you and your Mom and all you love are safe! Hopefully you found Destini... I have worried about that, would I be able to get my cats caught and in their carriers quickly. Sometimes I cannot find Harley, and he won't come when I call him (of course, he is a cat...). Then after I have been up and down stairs 3 times he just moseys out of somewhere without a care.

Phyl, good video by T40, those eagles seem to literally glide into the nest!

kb, that dog in the tree is hilarious, I wouldn't think a dog could climb a tree! Glad they got him down safely! That eagle picture is, like Lani says, stunning!

tsk, so glad you got in to the Dr. early, now you just have to wait for the diagnosis?

Lani, love your good morning picture, so cozy...  Hope your birthday was and still is a good one!

Appt at 3:15.  Saw doc at 4:15 - Loved him - young and funny.  Then at 4:30  " Want your injection now?"   Seriously?  Didn't feel the injection  (L5-S1)  but was in excruciating pain to lay on my stomach for it.  They had to help me turn over and get up.  Stopped at Culvers on the way home and then to Walgreens to pick up Gabapentin - 1 at bedtime.  To be very honest I have as much pain as I did before.  I walked into Walgreens and had to sit down when I got to the pharmacy  :(     I was expecting a miracle but need to wait up to 2 weeks for the steroid to kick in.   I may need another one down the road.  The nerve has very little space to leave the cord.  Well see how the night goes and what tomorrow brings - But it is done.

Lots of rain today in our area, but after Wednesday this week, the forecast is for clear days with some sun!

Lani - Your weather sounds like ours today; rain since last night, had a little break mid day, but raining lots again and we just had a lot of hail come down!!  Hope you've had wonderful birthday even with all the rain!

Tsk - Good for you in getting an appt to see the doctor today - hope they were able to give you the help you need.  Wishing your pain subsides as soon as possible {{Tsk}}

LisaG - Like the cool lego mustang pic! ;D

Kb - Oh my goodness - that dog that had to get rescued! :o    So sad about the cougar along the hwy.

BgGolden - Always great to see you in the Beak!

Lori - Hope you & Destini are safe from that Tornado - Hugs & take care.

Oldguy - Wow - interesting Lego info!!! Thanks  ;D

Clynn - So you have family members too that enjoy Legos!!  Our Grandson loves lego sets too - he's been receiving sets every year, especially at Christmas!

All Beakers have a good night.

tornado warning in Linn be safe all!!! Tornado has touched down.
gotta go find Destini

Yikes! Be safe---hope you find Destini and y'all are safe! Prayers

we're good, but its by Mom's house.  She lives in a double wide which is so unsafe.  I told her to go to the office shelter with Salem & Harlee but it's hard to manuever the 2 pets alone.  She stayed in the closet with the pets during Derecho and it damaged the house and broke windows but she was just fine. It keeps moving up and down, it has touched down but then goes back up.   Weird, also there is a wall cloud. Headed torwards Wisconsin now... moving out...
Stay safe feather babies!

YOu see, I did know that ---where you mom lives! Hopeing she makes it thru this safe and sound. Give your mom lots of kisses and hugs, Lori!

 My late mother lived in Joplin, MO  aka 'Tornado Alley'. We had been living here 2yrs or so and I got the skuttlebutt about and nasty tornado not 10 miles or so from her house. I called to find she'd bunkered in a bedroom closet with bottled water , her handbag, two fully charged cell phones and change of clothining. We chatted the entire time.  She got an all clear on her cell  cautiously krept out and did a check still on the phone w/ me. All was well that day.  I sorely miss my mother.

Hatch time.   ;D :-*

The #RoyalCam egg has pipped & is off to the incubator.

Hatching can take a few days (av. is day 79). GLY is now on a dummy egg.

The nest is sprayed with non-toxic, avian insect liquidator to reduce flies.

Safe travels #RoyalCam chick.

The 4 panel image is the past 4 years of Precipitation that fell in CA for the entire month of January.
The 2nd image is the Precipitation that has fallen so far this January up to 01/16/23.

Be very mindful of the legend colors.

That is a shocking amount of precipitation to have fallen on the Golden State from the 1st of the year.   :o

Too much of a wet good thing in too short of a period of time.
The snow pack slowly releasing the water to the ground and reservoir system is the key in the long term.

Keep it dumping heaps of snow at elevation for the entire winter in the  CNRFC Boundary  (https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/?product=QPEmonthly&lat=38.088&lng=-120.840&PNGtypeID=QPEmonthly&STATES=true&ElevMax=5000&ElevMin=0&opacity=86&mapBG=natGeoMap) and CA should fair better in the lean water times of this year.     

It has not wiped out the drought situation in CNRFC area, but it did put a dent in it.

A to B.

My son was an avid user of Legos until he was about 14 - I still have his collection of about 10k pieces.  Grandsons have also enjoyed legos - the youngest is now 14 and still buying new sets with his own money.  My best guess is that he has about 20-25k of pieces.  The adult sets are not cheap - $100 to $850.  Here is the LEGO website, highlighting their adult sets...

Yes, it's been raining non-stop all day, and increasing in strength. It's suppose to turn into snow in the early morning hours.
Snow has already arrived to the Rim, lots of snow on the over 5,000 elevation areas.

Lani, oh those puppies in their sweaters and hats... The big Lego set is Erin's, but he would never have the patience to put it together... it is for the Lego expert, age 16+, so it will be a few years for Talon but what fun it will be! Glad you had a nice birthday! Did you have a special dinner? I bet the snow in the higher elevations is beautiful, would love to see it!  Great news of the pip for the Royal Cam Albatross nest! I wish they would use that spray on the Decorah nests!

tsk - LOL, isn't that hilarious about the egg!  We just got back from the store...18 eggs are $7.99!  Love the cat puzzle!  Glad to hear you are having less pain today. 

tig - Your Christmas is still so pretty!

I have been knowing since November that Bradley and Kelly were thinking about getting married in February or March.  They set a date for Feb 23rd.  They will do a lil ceremony at the Courthouse, as neither of them want anything big or fancy.  And....

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Several dog breeds are tree climbers. Some of them are very good at it. I'm glad the dog that got stuck so high was safely gotten back to the ground. I've seen a Treeing Walker Coonhound do that before. The Catahoula Leopard Dog is another tree-climbing breed. It's the state dog of Louisiana, and has been nicknamed the "cat dog." LOL! Some other tree-climbing breeds are the Jack Russell Terrier, New Guinea Singing Dog (a wild dog breed), and the Raccoon Dog (a wild dog). Amazing skill!

Good read on that:"Can Dogs Climb Trees?"
https://wagwalking.com/sense/can-dogs-climb-trees - Good info and pictures - the history and science of dogs who climb trees. Enjoyable read. Check out the brief history of the 2 wild dog breeds in this short article I mentioned!  Never heard tell...  ;)



(((Lori and Destini, and Lori's mom and her two pups)))  I hope we get an update from you sometime soon, and that everyone is okay. I watched the detail of that tornado as it happened, via The Weather Channel.  So hoping all is ok!

(((TSK))) So glad you got in to see that doctor and got initial treatment!! Let the recovery begin!!



Beakers, lots more stormy weather coming to some of you today and the next couple of days... severe weather in some places, of various types. Please stay alert to your weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings, and take necessary precautions, and please stay safe.  :-*



I'm just now getting caught up on a few days of posts, and I see I missed a couple of birthdays.


Happy Belated Birthday, JILLTOSA!  I hope you had some special treats!  :)

Lisa, I just now saw your exciting news!!  Congratulations to BRADLEY and KELLY on their upcoming nuptials, AND to THEM, AND YOU and JEFF on the expected new Bundle Of Joy coming to your family!!    :-* :-* :-*  I'm so excited for all of you!!!  :)

I'm back in tennis love for my boyfriend, playing in The Australian Open tennis tournament, which started this week.  ;) :D   He won his first round match, and plays hs second tonight.  It's "Down Under," so my wake/sleep hours are messed up. But it's worth it.  ;) :D

Take care, Beakers!   :)

oldguy, I read that it was the earliest ever recorded tornado in Iowa, and only the 2nd for January! The weather patterns are going haywire...

tsk, how are you doing today? Better than yesterday?

Lani, those seals on the beach, we lived in Norfolk (it is like a county) when we lived in Walsingham, England, about 50 miles from Horsey! Nice to know the seals have a home there!

Lisa, love your egg joke...!  The chickens are on strike!

clynn - Thanks!  Love that chicken funny!  Thanks for the Berry update!  Beautiful pic of sunset over Des Moines.

Puff - Thank you! 

You Beakers are the first to know, as Bradley and Kelly have not even announced it yet. 
I did ask him if I could let you all know, and he said yes, as long as I didn't post it on Facebook.   :)

Have a good night, everyone!

BAZI   Thanks for the interesting side bar on tree climbing dogs - I never knew that.  I suspected we didn't see much of you lately and thought there must be tennis going on  LOLOL

CLYNN   Today was better than I expected.  I have not had to sit down every 1-2 minutes and was functional in the house.  Standing in one place  for a couple minutes is when the pain comes on.  Tomorrow I want to see how long I can walk before it becomes uncomfortable. Today was the rest day and tomorrow supposed to resume normal activities.   Lots of chicken jokes  LOL   Beautiful shot of downtown Des Moines sunset.  Is that a town park?  So clean and manicured.

LISA   We are privileged to be the first.  My lips are sealed!!!

32 heading to 40  Rain starting at 9 PM  ANOTHER cloudy day .  My battery is wearing down  ::)

PHYL  " spring chicken"  ;D.  Had forgotten they were capsules.  Took one and slept great.  The AM grogginess wears off.

OLDGUY   Somehow I missed that tornado link.  WOW Scary

CLYNN  Memories of the old diners  :)   Robin posted a visit to Decorah and did see Mom and M15 and got a few views on the trial of their nest.

1-15-23 Day Trip
Story and photos by Robin Brumm
It has been quite awhile since I’ve been able to go to Decorah.  The weather in the winter doesn’t always cooperate with my work schedule, lol.  This past weekend was supposed to be warmer, so on Sunday, I got up early and off I went!  When I got to Decorah, I drove through the hatchery first because I heard from a friend that there was a subadult hanging around.  I saw an adult in a tree by the base of the bluff but the sub adult had already flown off.  I grabbed a few pictures of the adult before it flew off and then headed to N4 to see if Mom and DM2 were around. 
I got to Walmart parking lot and headed down the trail to see if Mom and DM2 were around.  I also wanted to see the progress that was made on N4.  You can actually see N4 from a couple of places along the trail, although, once the leaves start budding in the spring, I’m not sure if, or how well, we will be able to see it.  As I got down to the N4 area, I looked through my binoculars. Nobirdy was working on the nest.  I looked at the perch tree.  An eagle in the top branches!  I took several pictures.. Hmmm.. not sure which one it was.  The sun was so bright.  I zoomed out and took a picture from back farther and.. Wait! There was another eagle lower down in the tree!  Comparing the two sizes, I'm pretty sure it was Mom on the top branch and DM2 on the lower branch. I am always thrilled when I get to see both of them together!  I stood there watching and all of a sudden DM2 flew down and then banked up. There was another large bird he was chasing out of the area.  I looked through my binoculars and saw that it was a sub adult.  Maybe it was the one that was at the hatchery earlier.  I walked down the trail a little more to watch them flying.  They both flew to the north and over the tree line.  As I was walking back to get a better view of Mom, I heard her vocals.  I quickly looked through my binoculars and noticed that DM2 had landed in the perch tree right next to her.  Unfortunately, he was right behind her from my angle and you could barely tell he was there.  It just looked like one really long eagle with 2 tails, lol.  I took several pictures and tried to get both of them, but I wasn’t able to get the heads of both of them in a photo no matter what angle I tried!  Finally DM2 flew off to the north, and then Mom followed.  I decided to go back to the hatchery to see if anybirdy was there. 
When I got there an adult was in the tree at the base of the bluff, and there was a subadult in the pine tree near the stream that goes by the pavilion.  I decided to walk over that way to get a photo from another angle.  I started to walk down the road and the SA flew off toward the bluff.  I went back toward my car and noticed the adult in the same tree but a different spot.  After a few minutes, the SA flew back to the pine tree. I had a better angle this time and was able to get pictures from my car. I found out later that there were actually 2 subadults there.  Several minutes later, the SA flew off and the adult flew off after it.  The adult came back and flew to the bluff where they like to perch.  Surprisingly, the other adult was already perched there! I swear they are stealth and invisible when they fly in sometimes, lolol.
After watching them perched in the bluff for quite awhile, I decided it was time for me to head for home.  It is such an exciting time and the anticipation is giving me anxiety!  Will Mom and DM2 lay eggs and have a successful season?  Will HM & HD lay eggs and have a successful season.  Like the mods always say… “All on eagle time!”

Clynn luv Nance Danforth 'Wednesday Morning' painting; 'Peace' if only; Dana Schroeder - 'In the thick of it.' photo is awesome, tks; Sue Bruhling, look at those silvery kids  :-* :-* :-*  Shucks on the weather. What's on the agenda for Bella Wednesday?

Hi Tsk colorful AM greeting; your battery is wearing down? Laptop? or  you?  Yes, groggies do wear off. And, as you know, the bod gets use to the side effects.  Tks for Robin's report, did you intend on omitting photo?  You seem to be sounding better, tomorrow will be better day yet.  And, maybe  you won't need the Rx at night.

Hi Eagles nice greeting this AM

Oldguy Yes. It's Wednesday and all down hill to weekend from here. ;)   Maru LOL

Hi Lisa Nice agave plant and cuppa.    I'm sure Stewie will learn and accept the baby. If not, maybe, Bandit will have a new kitty comapanion  or ...

Because of the time difference, I almost never can catch them in the cliffs.
But, here they are.
Center of photo in tree and to the upper right (cliffs).

I don't think this cam ops is very experienced as he/she doesn't 'zoom' in on the subjects.  I keep saying, 'Okay, now. Zoom-in so 'we 'can see".

Did a second snap to scrutinize. But, that's them---Center of photo in tree and to the upper right (cliffs).
Discoverd that clicking on the photos enlarges them. Duh   ::)  *sigh*

OLDGUY       I'm hoping the picture is photoshopped  :o :o  Maru and the helmet  LOL  Your rain is heading our way.

PHYL   No photo link for Robin.  Tried to se how long I could walk in the house this AM   - only  3 minutes before radiating pain.  :P  But that has not stopped me from vacuuming the floors and stairways in bits and pieces.  I sit in between and today it was going through all the drawers and slots on the office roll top desk and purging/reorganizing and finding things I didn't remember having. LOL  Now time for some lunch.    Black eagles  - hard to watch - you're right

LANI   Sweet little Noemi and Robin.  Thanks for the Royals update  :)

TIG    Wow that is a lot of ornament boxes .   Good luck at physical and waiting for a movie review..

Posting a little rememberance for our dear Ted.  I got the news from Lani in a post about the passing of our dear Ted on October 31st 2022 . Ted was a gentle giant loved by many.  He enjoyed lounging on the logs & taking dips in the pond as well as people watching... but most of all Ted loved snacking on grapes, strawberries and peanuts.  Ted was a special bear, dear to our hearts and is missed & loved by many.

Thank you so much Lani so much for sharing "Bear" news, photos & updates from Dr. Lynn Rogers and the North American Bear Center.  We appreciate all that you do... 💜  Now we wait to welcome  our baby Albatross to the world!  :-*

LISA  All OK  Doc said it takes this long for the anesthetic to wear off.  Now I have to wait for the steroid to kick in. 2-3 weeks.  Each day will be better.   I'm grateful .  I used heat earlier.  Had the moist pad on my computer chair and sat on a moist heating pad.  It felt good ;) ;)

Lori how's your mom doing?

Hi!  I need to catch up in here... Mom is doing just fine.  Things get a little tense during storms for her and Harlee & Salem but she is a strong fighter and will be ok. :)

These were still made in the 60s. I loved mine---always had to sweep the sidewalk off before hand to clear the  fine dirt .
But, it was worth the extra effort.  ;)
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f7/c4/f4/f7c4f43b4ee5ddf498e88febcdff882e.jpg)


Then one day Dan brought home two skateboards that he made in wood shop for himself and Larry.
He let me ride his and I was hooked!!!
It took my parents a year before they gave permission for me have one ---
Dan made one for me his last year in high school and brought it home to me .   Just  two years before he enlisted in USAF volunteering and leaving for VietNam.

This one, below, happens to be a vintage Nash skateboard, circa 1960's for sale on Etsy.

We have around 5" of snow is my guess, from looking out the window...it is so beautiful ! Bella and I had a fun time yesterday, we painted, which she loves and she 'washed' dishes in the sink for almost an hour! Erin used to love that when he was little! Of course she got wet and had to change clothes.

31 here, looks like we are going to get a little more snow around 9:00, high is 32.

Lani, wow, you are going to be cold when you and Sadie go for your walk this morning

Phyl, hope the wind died down eventually...  The photos are late, I was really tired yesterday, didn't sleep well Tuesday night...I am all caught up now! That beautiful ginger cat looks like he may be listening to relaxing music...enjoying the sunshine... I had skates just like that!  During the skate board craze in the mid 60s my dad made me a skate board using the skates, I loved it!

tsk, sounds like you know exactly what to do and are doing it!  No advice from me!  ;D ;D  How is Tim's cat Lulu doing? You know, you could get your own...I have always had at least 2 cats. Honey is just now coming to put her head on my shoulder and lay on me on the couch for a little while. Harley has also started laying next to me on the couch occasionally! We have had these cats for over 7 years... And they don't much like each other, just a little. So unlike ALL of my previous Siamese cats!

Lori, thank you so much for the lovely memories of Ted...such a sweet ol' bear. I am sure he is very much missed at the Bear Center... Did you get much snow this round? Hoping you are feeling much better each day!  Love the relaxing music...

baz, oh no, I picked the wrong guy!! Sorry, I just looked up 'who won the first round' and that is who came up! Rafa is very handsome!

Hi Everyone

38 heading to 43  More rain this afternoon  Cloudy - my battery needs recharging - No sun for many days ;)

PHYL  Love the basking in the sun kitty.  :)  I did the roller skating but never skate boarding.  Don't remember them being around when I was young.

CLYNN   Like the AM bear  :)  Another fun day with Bella.  Love her lunch set up  ;D  So you were part of that big front that went through.  We just got the rain.  For the first time last night I felt Lulu jump on my bed and she did sleep at my feet - Amazing.  She also brought a ball up and played with that on the bed.  I found the ball on the floor this AM  LOL  She would play all day if she could.  We did have 2 calicos for 12 years  Not litter mates .  One was very active and one very shy.  Euthanized the active one and the shy one died on our bed in her sleep 2 months later.  :'(    Looks like V3 was Gabby's choice  ;)   The cat's walk in the AM  LOLOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY

Just got back in from cleaning the deck up---was a mess---all askew. Saw some shingles in the yard. Hope they're not ours!

Thank you Tsk, Clynn, Oldguy, Lori, Lisa, Phyl, for birthday wishes for Aly. I'll share them with her when she comes home tonight.  ;D

Oldguy, thanks for the pretty oreo birthday cake for Aly. She loves oreo cookies and asked for an ice box cake for her birthday. So she can share with her office/clients. I made a no-gluten oreo cookie ice box cake in a truffle bowl yesterday.... Looks like Mike will be making a bowl of popcorn to celebrate National Popcorn Day. To bad there's not a game on tonight to go along with it... Artie LOL  ;D

Phyl, thank you for RRP update on D36 and snowing Decorah nest pics.

Tsk, that was sad about your shy Calico. awww Lulu loves playing with toys. Our boys have no desire to play with the cat nip toys I leave about. Take care  :-*

Clynn, Love your morning bear pic and the sweet pics of Miss Bella, especially, Bella helping with dishes.  :-* It was 26 when Sadie and I left for our walk this morning. Aly and Dewey went with us before she left for work. I made her scramble eggs with bacon for her birthday breakfast. I bet your birds and squirrel are enjoying the bird seed feeder you've set out for them, especially after 5" of snow. Keep warm and take care.  :-*

PHYL   Sorry, Maggie looks different in the sun and looks bigger.  ;)  Decorah had quite a bit of snow.  :o   Thanks for the D36 home birdy report.

LISA  So it has taken Bandit 13 years to decide to sleep next to you??  Interesting

OLDGUY  Yay for National Popcorn Day.  We've discovered Trader Joes red bag of popcorn.  Best bagged popcorn out there.  We buy bags of the stuff.   Cats in the snow  ;D

LANI   Aly will have a wonderful day today.  Like the breakfast as the starting point  ;) ;)

tsk - Bandit is not a very lovable.  He does not like to be pet for very long or held.  I guess that has to go with him being an outside kitty, that we made an inside kitty.  He use to sleep in a window seat in our bedroom for a couple hours a night, but just recently he has moved to the bed and only by me.  He never lays by Jeff.  I will need to check out this Trader Joe's red bag popcorn.  Love a good bagged popcorn.

E4E - Have a good day!

clynn - Beautiful snow pics!  Great pics from Decorah.  I have never tried overnight oatmeal. 

Lani - Oh my gosh, Dewey is adorable!

Lisa  having wind advisory all day with gust to 40mph---March weather in that respect. Still no BB kitty, huh? 
Bandit sleeping with you...cold window seat & needs electric blanket ---Maybe  feeling  'needy' or under the weather---who knows.  :-\

Clynn the infrareds I posted today are of the Decorah nests--easy to tell, I think, from the nests that Decorah had a fair amount of  snow.
Nice snaps of your 'estate'  ;)  :-*
I hate to see the snow once it's been walked in.  I bet the Munchkins are having a blast .

Eagles  I call Thursdays in Beakroom---'Vintage Thursdays' LOL  Cool those roller skates were the best. Ruined the shoes---but  hey!  I like you happy sun.

Tsk Maggie looks bigger because I  cropped and  sized up the image for greater detail. Yes the sunlight gave a 'yellow' cast to her fur.  She's the most fun for photographing---Mike was too. Just like our bluebirds we hatched---they see me  with camera and hold a pose for the longest time.    :'( :'( :'( your calico kitties---one killed and the other died of literally a broken heart.

LISA  Thanks for Bandit explanation.  Makes it all the more special now.  Our little Lulu doesn't like to be held for too long but we are conditioning her a bit by picking her up occasionally and then letting her down before she wiggles just to see if we can get her more used to it.  But she is a lap sitter more than any cat we've ever had.  She loves to be with us.  We have also started now to introduce wet food.  She gets 1 teaspoon at breakfast and 1 teaspoon at lunch and a full dish of kibble in the AM.  No vomiting so far!  We will increase the amount after a couple days.  I mention the Trader Joes red bag because they have different flavors and red is the regular.  I could easily eat the whole bag  LOL

CLYNN   Your overnight oatmeal reminds me we got a huge bag of grits in a Xmas basket and I must make a big batch of that tomorrow.  I keep forgetting.   How is Kay doing after her fall???

EBURGH   Did not hear about David Crosby.    :(  Right Another legend gone.  81 - not bad for that hard lifestyle..

Tsk - Aww, that is great that Lulu loves to be with you all, and sits in your lap.  Sounds like you have the food situation all worked out, if there is no vomiting.  The next time I am in Annapolis I am gonna stop at Trader Joe’s and pick up some. 

Phyl - Loved making Jiffy Pop on the stove as a kid.  Yikes, those winds for you.  Nope, have not seen the original BB Kitty, just the two new ones that have been coming.  The window seat I have in my bedroom is stuck to the window with suction cups.  It has fallen twice while Bandit was trying to get in it, so I think he gave up trying to get in it.  I still have it up, just in case he wants to try again.  It is very close to my bed.

tsk - Jiffy Pop is using a self standing display unit at this time at my Hy-Vee - they are definitely still in the stores...  I have not bought it since I got my first microwave - sometime  in the early 80s  - we had boys in the scouts that would bring them to campouts.

I had a clamp-on pair of roller skates when I was a pre-teen - lived on a farm - they did not work well on gravel and the only large concrete pads were in the livestock lots - ugh ::)  So never got the hang of them and never had good enough balance to use a skateboard as a teenager. ::)

Clynn - Cute Bella pics!! You are such a good Grandma - love how you let her wash dishes and 'help' you!  She seems to enjoy doing something different sometimes! ;D    How nice that your Dad made you a skate board - special memory!   Clynn, I have to wonder if Honey & Harley don't care too much for each other because they might be vying for your attention, and are in competition for you? :-\  Of course, I don't know, but it is just a thought. ;)
Tsk - I'm with you in that I always roller skated, but never did the skateboard!   Awe, sweet that Lulu jumped on your bed and slept - nice!! :)   Glad that you are getting a bit better - you are doing everything right! :)
Lori - Such a special birthday post for Aly!!!!  You always do such special posts!!  I wish I had your talent.
Phyl - Very pretty pic of your Maggie!!!!!  Thanks as always for Decorah pics - love them all! :)    Jiffy pop was a popular treat in our home - my Mom used to make it on an old stove!
LisaG - So sweet that Bandit is seeking you out and sleeping next you.  :)
Oldguy - Burrr - still cold in your area.   Thanks for mentioning National popcorn day!
Lani - Love the pic of Dewey!!! ;D   Yummy breakfast for Aly's birthday!! ;D
Clynn - Thanks for your snow pics - so beautiful, but wish you would get some melting!   Wow, those Decorah snow pics.
Baz - Hi  :)
Eburg - Yes - RIP David Crosby
Kb & Tig - Where are you guys today?!

All Beakers have a good night & sleep well.  We had a small earthquake this morning around 9:15 am - we hardly felt it, it was centered a few miles away from us - no damages reported.

In the 80's I had a pair of high top black skates with yellow wheels...the front brakes weren't this big.

I would frequently roll from Venice Beach to Redondo Beach and back..26 miles on the concrete bike path along the ocean...Course in those days we wore walkmen for music as well..

Grew up skating both ice and concrete though..

Eagles, Baz, I showed Aly your birthday cake and everyone's birthday wishes and posts. She was surprised, tickled and very thankful, and understands why I love my Beaker family so much. You all are special  :-*

Clynn, It's definitely winter at your home and in Decorah.... I knew you would have your hanging bird feeders full for the birds.  :) .. I'm making oatmeal in the morning.  ;D

Eburg, RIP David Crosby  :(

Lisa, I understand about Bandit, Milo and Norman are the same way, it took 4 years before Milo slept on our bed. Don't touch him or he'll leave. LOL! He only stays an hour or so, and then leaves for a cat perch. Where I'll find him in the morning.

Tsk, awww Lulu, glad no more vomiting. She's settled in nicely... We'll have to get Trader Joe red bag popcorn and give it a try. I'm the only one in the family that loves grits....  sleep well tonight  :-*

Phyl, YAY Jiffy popcorn! We had that a lot until the microwave popcorn.

Oldguy, same in Hawaii regarding roller skates, it never was a thing we did growing up with gravel or dirt roads. Minion  ;D

SED Eagles, it's suppose to snow tonight.

Good night and keep warm and thank you again for Aly's birthday greetings  :)

HI EVERYONE

34 all day today and cloudy :(

OLDGUY   I never like using a scooter which we had so skateboard was not even an interest.  Loved my clamp- ons  tho and can definitely see how they weren't right for your situation.

EAGLES   Guess you get used to those earthquake reports.  Gives me the shivers  :o

KB   Those were the real "professional" roller skates.  I can just picture that scene you described.  :)   Wonder why Chicago isn't on your light rail list??   How much snow yesterday??

LANI   Like the good night kitty looking at the snow. :)  I'm off to make grits  LOL

PHYL  Gorgeous hand painted? glassware .   Did Sauces get a new camera??  Really clear.

Phyl, the Sauces eagles are looking good! Should be eggs soon!  Awww, HD & HM, so sweet!  Beautiful glasses with the birds! Yes, I remember the telephone cord, and laying on the floor with feet on the wall!

Lani, happy to hear that Aly enjoyed her birthday wishes yesterday! Did you get your snow last night? Oh my, the tiny albatross! He needs his Mommy to cuddle him!

E4E, don't think we will get much melting this week, there isn't even one day in the next two weeks where the temp will be over 30. Just what the sun can do! The roads are clear, Erin took care of the driveway and sidewalks yesterday, he said a big branch broke on one of the pines and is laying on the fence but he said it looks like the fence is okay. I will have to get out today and take a look!

Awww, David Crosby...love his songs...he wrote so many good ones. Good article:  https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/david-crosby-best-songs-1234663169/

tsk, when the kids were little and we ate at Cracker Barrel they thought grits was cream of wheat, so we just put some sugar and milk on them and they loved it! You are doing very well with Lulu! Honey will come and lay by me when I go to bed and will only stay if I am petting her! Soon after I stop petting her she leaves and I assume goes back downstairs to her favorite spot.

Got a couple pics of the kids when they were here yesterday!

Good Morning Beakers

E4E - Glad to hear that it was a small earthquake, and you hardly felt it.

kb - Thanks for that info! When she flies, she usually has a car pick her up to and from airport.  She never leaves the hotel once she is there. 

Lani - Hope Aly had a nice birthday. Happy hatch day to the Royals!!

Phyl - Bandit does have a kitty condo, actually two of them in the living room. We had tried to throw one away, as it was getting old and he whined all day till we went and got a second one.  Great pics this morning from the nests. 

tsk - Love your morning greeting...it is making me hungry! 

clynn - Love your morning pic, and the wording on your birdhouse pic.  Great pics of the munchkins!

CLYNN   Funny hen  :o.   Sometimes what we don't know about popular musicians is that they wrote so many songs that made other vocalists so popular and never at that time got recognized for it.  What a coup for the Bronx Zoo in the birth of the baby  - cuteness - tree kangaroo :)  I think grits do taste like cream of wheat . So I put fruit in it and eat it for breakfast.  Tim loves grits.

EAGLES  Have a fun lunch.  :)

Ladies thank you so much for the kind wishes  for my mom's  passing .And most of all the {{{}}}. I love getting them and giving them.

I woke up this AM without a thought untill I pulled our sheets out of the dryer, they were this wonderful warm  I just wrapped them around me as I walked to the bedroom---and that reminded me of when I''d be home from school sick w/ pneumonia and my mother would have  me bathe while she put fresh sheets
on my bed, I get in and those sheets would warm my very heart and soul.  She'd tuck me in , pull the make shift  steam tent over my bed , tell me to close my eyes and rest.
Any way I lost it while making our bed ---just bent over the bed and buried my face in the sheets...'   :)

Clynn   chicken what a far-out AM greeting. Nice trib to Dave Crosby---timeline photos are good
Luv the munchkin photos.    Matschie's tree-kangaroo is adorable. I sure hope they can save the speicies. Tks for sharing 

Lisa thank  you for remembering about my mom  :-*. Bandit is one lucky fella two condos. I lit a prayer candle to Sts. Francis and Catherine for BBKitty and the other feral cats that have crossed the Beakrooms floors.

Eagles how was your coworkers retirement luncheon?  Bet it seemed like old times for awhile anyway.

Tsk  :-*    Maggie meows to Lulu. First time I ate grits was in 1975 Fayetteville, SC  with Richard at a church bus ministery breakfast on Sunday  included fried eggs and country ham in biscuts and white pepper gravy. Lots of coffee.

Tig eggsalad sands are one of the best. Cream of sweet potatoe soup w/ marshmellows, was it very 'sweet' tasting? Sounds delish and satisfying. So does your dinner.

KB tks for shairng the robin and eagles today. Great photos. 

Lani on that hatchiling albatross looks cold---I know they probably have warming light or something like that above it though. Just those damp feathers ...gonna be growing into that famous bill.  :-*  Thanks for the report and all.

Last weekend I went up north for a funeral. A couple of years ago the guy I considered my big brother passed and I didn't go up for his service because I was afraid I'd fall apart. Anyway I went to his son's funeral. Just 54 years old and had corticobasal degeneration. What a horrible thing to have.

I went to the eye doctor again yesterday. The cataract lenses I got last fall are cloudy so I'm having a laser procedure to remedy that. Maybe I'll finally have good eyesight.

A few stupid things I've done recently..... Got a dvd recorder to make copies of home videos for my granddaughter. It was on the table when I was putting Christmas stuff away and now I can't find the power cord. I've looked in the Christmas totes and didn't find the cord. Bought a new tracphone to use my landline number and get rid of the landline... I locked myself out of the phone.

The snowbanks are getting so high it is hard to see if somebody is coming.

LisaG - Lol! Bandit wanted his condo back! ;D  I am a lot like your mother in that when I go to a Hotel, I stay at one that has at least one restaurant, pool, hot tub, and room service.  Then, I don't need to leave for anything, unless we want to go wine tasting, shopping, or something else!
Phyl - Much love & hugs for you on this anniversary day of your Mom. {{Phyl}}  Awe, A Mother's love . . . . . :-*
Tsk - The only thing I like on grits is butter!
Tig - Yummy lunch!
Kb - wow, that pic of a Robin catching a fish!! ::) Amazing.  Scary about all the helicopter action going on around there. :o

I did have a wonderful time at the retirement luncheon today for a co-worker!!  So fun to see everyone again. ;D

Everyone have a good night.

Phyl, pretty morning pics of Decorah and Decorah North... Sauces cam is excellent, beautiful pic of them. I pray they will have a good season.

Clynn, we woke up to two inches of snow this morning. It'll be gone tomorrow. Nice pics of the munchkins  :-* awww kangaroo cub, good luck to mom and baby  :-*

Eagles, glad you didn't feel the earthquake and no damage. I love grits with butter and salt... I just noticed your good night pic was a gif, I thought I was imagining it.  ;D

Lisa, Bandit wanted his condo returned  ;D  ... Aly had a nice birthday, even had a good week at work with her clients. Shannon came up late today for our birthday. The four of us went to the casino, had dinner and played the slots for a bit. Mike did well, we made sure he didn't have to use steps, he can't do that anymore.  Aly did the driving. It was nice to be out together.  :)

Tsk, I read on SWFL cam website  "E22's eyes look clearer tonight."

Good night!

ITS CATURDAY

Lulu in the sun .  HI EVERYONE

28 heading to 36 and another cloudy day.  We may see sun on Monday  ::) :(

PHYL  Such good memories....Little did you know at the time that you would recall those treasured moments mom was making with you.  AM Sylvester and Tweedy Cat  :D

BISCHUE   How terrible that a father and son die within a year of each other.  Yes I remember that you could not go last year.  Nice that you could get there now.   Well we all do "stupid" things and spend a lot of time trying to resolve.  Pray you can get your eye problem resolved.  Eyes are everything.

LANI   Awww  How sweet for mum to nestle down on her little one  :)   What a fun evening at the casino.  Sounds like Mike was a winner  ;) ;)
Thanks for E22 update.

Phyl, good cat shames! Love the pics of the North couple and the Sauces couple, so sweet...  And Sylvester & Tweety, that briomgs back memories of childhood, Saturday morning cartoons! A hug for you and your memories of your Mom, you two were very close, I can tell... 

tsk, we had some sun yesterday, 28 right now, high 30.  Maybe a little more snow tonight... How are you feeling this morning?

Lani, thank you so much for the video of the return of the albatross chick to the nest! I love the way Mum wiggled her tail when that handsome guy put her baby in the nest and she settled down on him. So sweet! So glad you got to have some good time with all of your family for the birthdays! Great good night picture!

kb, love Ron Carlson's picture of the eagles! Spectacular! Great comparison of a juvenile to an adult, we don't often get to see a juvenile's beautiful feathers like that!  The winter Robin with the fish is a rare sight as well!

E4E, glad you had a good time at your luncheon! It is nice to see old friends, that is the only thing I missed about retirement, friends...I ran into my old boss of several years ago in the grocery store last week, it was nice to talk to him, I hadn't seen him for quite a while.

blschue, hang in there! I have done all of those things at one time or another!

Plus It's Caturday - Can't miss Caturday!

E4E  If there's a better choice. . .When I travel I don't live below my means at home.  Why travel and settle for less than I've worked my entire life trying to get; why put up with less than I have, what I deserve, and left?  Why settle for $less$ and call it a vacation?

The opposite I consider "an adventure".  And I've done those, too.  I'll never forget the fuss my SIL made at the cabin at the North Rim of Grand Canyon. Clean, yes; a view to die for, yes; lucious food and setting at the lodge restaurant with 30 ft wooden ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows, yes; a humungeous deck overlooking that indescribable hole in the ground; the scent of pine not from a bottle or candle.  Her complaint - no phone or TV in the cabin.  Is there even a word that covers that remark???  I did my mule ride the next morning (alone) got  into the car to zip back to Sedona whirlpool room.  Ton and I went back the next year to do what we missed:  petrified forest, float down the Colorado River to the Glen Canyon Dam, and had to do at least one trail on the North Rim.  Fun talking to other like-minded souls on that deck sharing their days' adventures.

I'll be patient.  Made a pot of chili mostly sitting this AM  LOL    Those 2 cats in a closet  LOLOL  Didn't see them at first.  ;D   Speaking of murder mittens - reviewed some YouTube vids this AM in prep for cutting this little fidgety missy's nails.  ::) :o.  Think we may try the burrito method  LOL..

Morning Puff, you lucky girl! Both cats were scratching at my mattress at 5:30 this morning. And Sadie growling at them to stop.... your trip to the north Rim of Grand Canyon sounds like a bit of heaven to me. We should have done that while Mike was able. What a fun trip with Ton.  :)

Lisa, enjoy shopping! I wish I was going with you  ;D

Clynn, isn't it amazing how easily Albatross mom L accepts the chick. No hatching time under her... just here's your baby!  LOL! I wish human moms had it so easy. LOL! ... Love your Caturday pics!! The cats in the closet LOL!!! .. it was 19 degrees when we headed out the door at 7am for our morning walk. 🥶. There was snow on the side of the road and trails that Sadie loved digging her nose into.

Tsk, how are you feeling today? Sweet pretty Lulu looks so relaxed and looking forward to another Caturday!  ;D ... Just read your last post, sorry to hear you feel no better.  :-\ ... burrito method maybe, but maybe you should get a stranger to do the holding, then Lulu will be more forgiving of the method. LOL! I'm such a coward about that. I leave it for the vets. Gosh, I could even watch my girls get their shots.

Phyl, Fun Caturday cat shames, nice pic of Sauces and the Norths...  lovely memories of your mom. You had a special relationship which was a blessing for you, not everyone is so blessed.

Eagles, Nothing like relaxing at a hotel such as you described. ugh, I need a vacation LOL!  ;D

{{{Hugs Blschue}}} How sad about the loss of a close family friend's son, both passed away so close in time to each other. It's good you were able to attend his son's funeral. My sympathy for your loss.... we all do silly things, Lord knows lately I've been doing things that makes me mad at myself. Or walking into rooms and forgetting why I went there in the first place... sigh, it's my once organized mind getting ahead of myself.  :-\  ... I pray your eyes can be repaired and healed.  :-*

Hello #RoyalCam chick -  a little late feed. 

1st feed was brief (approx.15:20). The chick doesn’t need much at this stage, still sustained by the yolk sac.

A little 1st day 'wobble in their bobble' – but reaching for mum already.

Blschue - {{Blschue}} for all that you are enduring right now.    I too am forgetful sometimes  :-[   Hope they are able to help you achieve clearer & better eye sight soon.

Lani - Thank you for posting link to watch the Albatross chick returned back to it's nest - quite a careful process - so happy for Mom & baby! :-*   So happy that Shannon came up for your birthdays and that all of you had a wonderful time celebrating with dinner & casino - sounds like Mike had some luck! :)

Phyl - The gif last night is a teddy bear(?) in bed.  I went back this morning and tried to find the same one and post it larger, but couldn't find it.   I always love the eagle cam pics - thanks!   Cute Caturday shames  ;D

Tsk - Sending good thoughts & wishes that your pain/discomfort eases soon and that you feel better.   Beautiful pic of Lulu - she looks happy & comfortable  ;D

Clynn - Glad you ran into your old boss at the store - that must have been a good/fun conversation!   The time went so fast at the retirement luncheon yesterday, I knew I would need to say hi and talk to as many folks as I could before the speeches and sharing of stories began, then at the end, I was saying goodbye to as many as I had only a short time because most had to head back to work!  I am estimating there were approximately 60-75 people.  I was so happy to have been included, especially since most in attendance were current employees!

LisaG - Have fun shopping!  :)

Puff - Yes! I'm sure you know how to stay in the right places when you travel  ;D   So happy that you & Ton went back to the Grand Canyon to do all the things you guys had missed out on the previous year - I bet you have wonderful memories of that trip. {{Puff}}

Beakers have a nice day  :)

E4E, the last time I was at my old workplace was when Bella and I met Erin, it was his last day in that department, and it was the department I used to work in so it was fun seeing all the old friends that have been working with him after I left! Ed used to work in the same department too, but now in another department, Yes, we are a WF family! Ed has another year and a half to work then he can retire.

Lani, what a beautiful cougar! I think the whole Royal Albatross program is amazing, love how gentle they are with the birds, the birds seem to trust them...  19 degrees? That is pretty darn cold for you isn't it?  Wow, that is some scary cloud! I know I would think it was extra-terrestial!

tsk, I hope that shot kicks in soon...

Puff, glad you and Ton went back to do all of the things you wanted to do at the Grand Canyon, so, so much to see and do there! Honey is like Ash was, very rarely lets me sleep past 5:15!

Marshall Tucker Band   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkOsccnyFWs     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlc6xCPx60U
We are saddened to hear of the passing of someone very special to our hearts, for very obvious reasons. Our band’s namesake, Mr. Marshall Tucker, passed away peacefully yesterday morning at the age of 99. Though he was never a member of our band, we wouldn’t be here today without his historic name. In the early days when we were rehearsing in an old warehouse in Spartanburg, we found a keychain inscribed with his name. We needed a name asap… and the rest is history!

What purrs and has 6,000 followers on Instagram? That would be KC fan Sly James the Cat. Former Kansas City Mayor Sly James’ team asked to take a photo of Sly James the Cat in a suit to use at his retirement event. The former mayor even signed a copy of the cat’s portrait. The Insta-famous tabby cat is known for daily posts where he dons a new outfit every day :)

Meet the new Jacksonville Jaguars’ new “pawfensive” lineman Mojo. Mojo, a 17-week-old golden retriever, is not only joining the Jags -- he’s also training in the K9s For Warriors Puppy Program and will eventually become a service dog for military veterans. Although he won’t get much playing time, his screen time and popularity amongst the fans will make up for it.
Mojo will be in the K9s For Warriors Puppy Program for 10-14 months before he begins the training to become a service dog.

RIK  After your comment about it's only a hotel, the adventure starts when you leave the hotel -- that in itself brought on a memory.  A hotel at Galway Bay in Ireland--Someone rang the doorbell.  Ton and I looked at each other "Was that the door?"  Sure enough - room service was checking that all met with our approval, and would we like anything else? A doorbell?  Really, a door bell?

And since I'm now in under the influence of Eire - I'll never forget the pleasant sight from the balcony overlooking a walking "boulevard" with tables for two on the sides (no cars) with little flower carts and other vendors greeting and doing a gentle bow to the people passing by - A great panoramic remembrance of a hotel.  The Westbury in Dublin.

I have to share this with the Beakers - this was a lasting super memory gap.

LANI   We may decide it will be a vet who will cut the nails but we are willing to give it a try.  " Wobble bobble"  Aww.  WOW  That was one strange yet beautiful cloud over Turkey.. Half time KC leading  ;)  ;D

EAGLES  That was a big retirement party.  Hard to imagine being able to see everyone and converse..

T40   Love Caturday contribution today  ;D ;D     So funny  " don't touch the scissors"   I'll jump in on the same "bangs" bandwagon  LOL

CLYNN   What a great backround story to the Marshall Tucker Band.  Do we know where all those bikes are parked - a school?  Tough time getting home for many  LOL

PUFF   You share the best memories.  Can see why they are still vivid in your memory.  :D

Lori, good to see you!  What a sweet dog! We had a girl at work who worked with golden retrievers until they were ready for their specialized training, she was allowed to bring them to work each day, we all loved seeing them!

tsk, one of the comments said it was a guy in a rural area in Iowa that collects disgarded bicycles and fixes them up to sell and donate. The bangs, in our later years we called the 'Prince Valiant bangs'. Mom, put those scissors down!  ;D ;D ;D

Yep that would be the Westbury Clynn  And if you look up to about the third level you can make out the balconies.  Oh, Oh and if you look below one level you have the large floor-to-ceiling windows?  That's where at 3o'clock the crumpets and tea is served.  Although one iffy feeling because I didn't bring any gloves -Ladies did show up with gloves.  My bad!

CLYNN   How cool was that to have golden retrievers at work when she was training.    Mom and bangs : she would wet her bangs and put a roll of cotton under them and clip the cotton to the hair on each side to anchor it.  She would comb the hair nicely over the cotton.  Air dry and remove cotton and bangs would be poofy  LOLOL   So glad to hear the eye on E22 turned out to be OK.

Phyl, that is a mighty tasty looking sinnamon roll!  Brain fog, never thought of it being a symptom of anything but ageing. Thanks for the info! That iced tea you had at the restaurant sounds good! Iced tea is my drink, sweet tea to be exact! Thanks for Amy's Blog!  Always good!

Lisa, wish I had that cinnamon roll...  ;D ;D

Lani, cute good night pic!

E4E, Ed just turned 65, retirement age is 66.5. I am a few years older than him, but you would never guess so! He started turning gray before he was 28!

Puff, crumpets and tea, love it!

tsk, I do remember the cotton roll for the poufy bangs, because back then (lolol) no one had hand held hair dryers!  Just the Sunbeam bonnet kind! I got my first hand held blow dryer around 1968. Do you remembrt the pink tape for spit curls? And why did our mothers never hear of this? The bangs were still too short, I think it was Mamie eisenhour's fault!

Peepspy sent me this Gray Seals update!  ;D

The pups are growing up so fast! 😍 They are starting to form groups of weaned pups.
And a few still nursing.

Happy Day, Beakers!   :)

(((Tsk))) Ugh on the pain! I hope the injection starts working soon!! I made a pot of chili yesterday for the weekend. Just had a cup. It's always better the 2nd day, it seems. Loved your pic of Lulu relaxing in her sunny spot.  :-*

Lisa, I've never heard of 2-inches-above-the-eyes bangs either. Oops, I see it was 2-inches-over-the-eyebrow bangs. Funny!  I never had bangs as a kid because I had curly hair.  Mom used to pin curl it!





HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLDGUY!!!  Hope you enjoy some special treats on your special day!  :)

BAZI   Used to sit on the powder room toilet of my childhood home where after hair was washed Mom would roll parts of it and pin curl others.  Then I would sit under the "dome" ( which my Mom used til she died!) til it dried.     LOLOL  Love your bacon roses for OLDGUY  ;D

Lisa esspresso or cappuccino  you served this AM?

Clynnnice AM greetings today. Glad to read E22's eye is doing well.   LOL I even used Scotch brand cello tape. So glad when the  hair-do gods heard our pleas and the 'pink' tape it the shelves.
Did you ever wear those  'poodle bangs'--- i.e.  Barbie and Lucille Ball.
Thanks for Berry and Big Bear updates/snaps

Tsk snowy/glistening AM today. Sounds like you ll get a 'dusting' of snow  Many thanks for the short video on Challenger. Always luv watching him.  :-* :-*LOL

Kb  very nice RSH this AM; football in the snow---bet that's a challenge even with cleats.

Eagles the perfect birthday greeting for OG.  We have lots more 'small' jobs. But,  once completed---will take awhile with us doing them---I want to list the house.   LOL
Lani  tks forRoyalCam chick  update,  rangers do give  tender care; tks for update on seals ; your   AM cardinal reminds me of all ours. We do Bluebirds and Jim's son and DIL do Cardinals. LOL

Tig Goodwill, will be happy to get your donation Im sure.  Old croutons for wildbirds is a great idea---but them I'd get opossums, racoons and who knows what else.  :(

Yup... I was worried, but put it out early enough in the day that it should be devoured before the voles or others come out. I watched a silly squirrel grab a crouton and go bury it in the snowbank! Dumb dumb.

12 right now, high 32 for today. Hopefully some sun this afternoon!

Phyl, lovely tea this morning, cake and pie! Yum! I hated seeing the Amazon announcement and I don't believe their reasoning for discontinuing it. It's kind of lame, to say that it didn't have the impact they had hoped for... The Norths are close together this morning, so sweet! What a great picture of the  deer sleeping near the North Nest. What a beautiful hummingbird!

Lisa, Jeff has a new passion for Lego models!  Love that bus, he will probably work on it all week! 

Lani, my Sunbeam hairdryer was the hooded kind, Cathy and I each had to have one so there would be no arguments! Mine was blue, hers was white. I am sure this is how you dried your hair whilst making breakfast!  ;D ;D

Have a shawl meeting this AM and plan to make that box disappear  LOL   Jeff is now hooked  LOL  Amazing what those kits can create.  From a distance, it doesn't even look like Legos

PHYL  A very decadent tea time.  I had gotten notice from Amazon about stopping their "Smile" program.  Mine went to RRP.  It had made giving so easy.  Wonder how much RRP made in total off that program.  ???

CLYNN  Awful lots of sweets this AM     Cute "good morning"  :)   Mom's hair dryer was the second pic.  Exact color too  LOL

Good morning all.

eagles4 - yes I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game with snow..
We have had that much snow many many days already this season...at a time.
Hence:
my snow pile just from my smaller upper deck....it's taller than myself around the corner...I'm still downstairs but my front piles are just as tall. and, it ain't going anywhere anytime soon!

Have had one heck of a time getting out side from my dining room attached to my outdoor screened porch. The gutters are frozen with snow on top of my house roof I can't remove because of my mast..electric pole.
So it's been dripping and freezing ice on my outdoor carpet...have actually been putting safe paw ice melt on the carpet right outside the door and inside the porch to try to melt....nada so far. I wear my yaktrax in and out when I grill....too much grief to do it again.

Kb - Very interesting story & picture of 'Met Stadium' - fascinating history - thanks so much!

Lani - It definitely was a great football day yesterday!

LisaG - Looks like Jeff is acquiring a new hobby! ;D  Love the bus - I bet Jeff had fun with it! :) ;D 

Phyl - Yummy morning gif - makes me hungry!  I remember my Mom using S&H green stamps!   I was aware of 'Amazon Smile' going to close out the program soon.  All along, we supported 'SOAR' (Saving Our Avian Resources).  I do send RRP & SOAR donations during the year.    Like the Decorah North pic!

Clynn - Like the pics of the Sunbeam hair bonnets and the story of you & your sister having your own! ;D  Great SWFL pic!

Puff - Glad you got about 3 minutes of sunshine yesterday! :)

Tsk - Hope your pain is subsiding a bit each day.  Is Lulu still crawling up with one of you each night? :)

Oldguy - Hope your birthday was a good one even though you had to work.

Hi Tig, Baz, Lori  :)

All Beakers have a nice day.

clynn - Yea, I think he does.  He was just telling me this morning that the next one he was going to get was either the Ghostbuster mobile, or the James Bond Aston Martin car. Aww, the SWFL kiddos are getting big already!

tsk - Awww, I was willing to trade you the cupcake for the box of See's.  ;D  I am sure your shawl meeting will love the candies.

kb - Yikes that is alot of snow, and be careful when you go out! 

E4E - He did have fun putting it together, oh and no cussing.  ;D

Believe it or not we have had intermittent bouts of sunshine today. A miracle.  If you blink you might miss it.

KB   Cool albino moose.  YA  I see your problem - Where do you put the snow.

EAGLES  Like the AM pic  ;D  Well after 2 nights gracing me with her presence at night she is back to Tim's bed  LOLOL

LISA   Got rid of the box of Sees.  I had had about 6 of them since Xmas so now 3 at the table split the rest!! LOL

LANI   Awww, those were the days of watching Hope Fern and Herbie.  Thanks for the reminder. ;D   Nice albatross link  Love how Theo weighs it,

Whew, once again I praise God I am alive.

Ollie and I ventured out for our walk....all north/south roads are solid ice with barely any tar showing..cars have now made foot high grooves with barely any traction even with yaktrax on...hills, east/west roads are better...I did ask for them to be taken on as a priority....guess now I have to mention ALL roads?

So stressful this season....it's hard to put into words.

tsk, we have had a good bit of sunshine today, hopefully you will have more tomorrow!  Lulu sounds like Honey, she gives me some attention now and then but always goes back to Ed.  ::) I took Kay to the doctor today, they replaced the bandage and wrapped her leg from the knee down with four different wraps to try to get the swelling to go down. She also got a shoe (not a boot) to wear. We go back again next week. Yay on getting rid of the Sees, to a good cause! No need to tempt Tim!

Lani, a wonderful bear report today, back to the times of Fern & Herbie... Love the story of Hope and how she got to stay with her Mom Lily and play with her little brother and sister... Love the picture of Jewel, lots of good memories there! And the Albatross baby, so gently they put him in that bag to weigh him.... So how much snow did you end up getting?

Lisa, tell Jeff I vote for the Astin Martin, but he will probably end up getting both...  ;D ;D Just think, in 10 years you will have to add on to the house...  ;D

E4E, I remember cashing in Green Stamps in the mid 70s, I got a can opener!  At the Department store I worked at (Famous Barr, now Macys) we had Eagle Stamps! Customers would bring their shopping receipts to the office and we gave them a stamp for every $10 they spent. When they got the book full they returned it for store credit. I had forgotten all about them!

Hello Beakers

Thanks again to everyone for the great birthday greatings...

Yesterday was busy - took a tray of cookies into work to share - one of the other workers shares my birthdate minus 50 years... ::)  restock was sparse for the weekend - everything done by the time I started at 9am - so spent the shift working on tasks that managers found needing correcting.  Everyone was done with that by 2:30, leaving very little for the closing shift to keep busy at.

Caught a nap, before going out to eat supper - just a sandwich from Subway.  Then play a computer game the rest of the night.

Had a low of 15 this morning - reached 28 for a high today - staying in the upper 20s until the next storm comes thru late Tue into Wed.
Ryan has all the details today...

Buffalo, Mn...not that far from the Twin Cities.and I believe we've gotten more snow than they have.

Oldguy - funny video of tools for extreme snow removal....although, I don't have any of those tools, nor do i see any women doing the snow removal ;) ;)

CLYNN  Back in the 70's the Green Stamp program  helped this newbie to the work force and 1st time appt dweller get the essentials  ;) ;)  That is a gorgeous pic of the Capitol..  Lots of good photos in your post.

OLDGUY   Nice b-day treat for employees  :)  Cute piece with Lesley and Lentil.   Claire's vid was good too.  Lulu doesn't get much traction on our wood floors when she's running after her ball LOL  Might as well be ice.

kb  Would walking the Blue Loop in winter be less treacherous ?
I believe you walk the Green Loop.

Both loops were mapped 'walking' clockwise and are on the streets centerline.
The terrain exaggeration in Google Earth is turned way up for visualization.

The terrain and distance stats of the 2 loops.
Note all the measurements are not exact, no one walks in a straight line with a dog.  ;)

The Green "south" Loop is 2,048 ft long.
The Elev Gain/Loss is about 42 ft, but the max up/down slope is +13%/-22%. (Grade).

The Blue "north" Loop is 2,692 ft long.
The Elev Gain/Loss is about 34 ft and the max up/down slope is +10%/-12%.

Granted the Blue Loop is about 644 ft longer but it does appear to be less "hilly" looking at the terrain profile graph's.

Now I know I'm not taking into account the sidewalk/snow mountain situation, crazy drivers, rabid animals, crazy neighbors, muggers, etc .. but it's a thought.
Just looking out for you and Ollie Man.  8)

Post by: kbshcb on January 23, 2023, 09:28:24 PM

Very cool maps, BL

But, i walk much farther than your pics. I walk the green loop all the way to the highway 35W...or close to it, lately turning south on James ave..

The Blue loop Scott and I used to take....but like you said. I haven't alone since Ollie was bitten several times by a loose dog on that loop, there are shady folks also who live, well I won't say...and, we also took that route to the highway.

Am not sure you can visualize what I'm saying...but if you took that green loop much farther to the east and then of course west on the way home....well.

thanks for thinking about us...appreciate it.

The steepest part of my loop, green but many more blocks, starts at the northeast corner of your rectangle heading east towards the highway and extending several blocks...

Clynn really likie your AM greeting;  a great Beatles song you posted.  My mom's Sunbeam was just like the one you posted on the left. As a teenager, I 'd use it eveynow. But, dad had the handheld 'blow' dryer and he caught me using his---the following Christmas I got a smaller sleeker one  from 'Santa".  ;D  The only thing to do is giv e each of you your own portable hair dryer.  I really liked Famous Barr.  Awesome snap of the state capitol bldg. luv all the wildlife photos
Luv the SWFL family photo  :-*

Tsk funny about Lulu and no traction on the floors---just skating around on mom's floor.  I had gotten a notice from Amazon about the discontinuing of the 'Smile' program sometime ago. All mine went to Wounded Warrior Project and Tunnel 2 Towers. I've always used Bing as a search engine and they have a wonderful program that one's seachs earn points and periodically those points can be redeemed for charitable donations as well as other 'things'. I chose the charitable donations.
I'd want the cake in my AM greeting.

Hi Eagles sweet fawn

Kb awesome albino moose;  seems like your having a more pesky winter than usual---take care. Nohing to but pile the snow up, I guess. Nothing on your 'to Do List.' now you can take a nap.  Some 'Jaba the Hut' snowman--- Nothinfg on the calendar, now you can take a break?

Lisa well, my days of having dessert are pretty well gone with the wind. Some of those Lego kits look quite life-like.  Ditto Clynn about getting an add-on just for the Legos models.  ;D

Lani tks for Dr Roger's Bear Study ,  awwww Lily and Hope,wonderful story there, Jewel ; I think Calhound is posting them in entirety in 'Jewel and her cubs'.  Tks for the

Kb - wow, the picture of the snow pile tells the story. :o ::)  Hope you get some warmth out there soon.  What a wonderful memory of having seen the Beatles at the 'Met Stadium'!!  I'm sure you have lots of fun memories of events you went to.  Sad they built a mall there instead.

LisaG - So nice that Jeff is enjoying those sets of Legos and no cussing Lol! ;D

Lani - Thanks for Bearstudy 'Celebrating the birthdays . . . .'   so very sad about Hope.     You are getting a lot of snow - do you usually get that much during the winter or is this winter more than you normally would receive?   Awe, thanks for Royal Albatross  ;D

Tsk - So cute how Lulu seems to be sharing her presence during the night with each of you! ;D
 
Clynn - Like the story of the Green stamps and how it worked at your place of employment!  Love the winter pic of Des Moines  ;D   All great pics you posted!

Lisa, yummy morning breakfast. I love chocolate  ;D ... Oh, Jeff's hooked! cool Lego set! Ghostbuster mobile  ;D

Phyl, I remember S&H stamps! My mother collected them too. And she may have gotten her sunbeam hairdryer with stamps too! I only used her hair dryer once or twice a year. Other than that I let my hair dry naturally... thanks for posting the article about Amazon Smile.  I was reading TRR (sloths) chat room and they were discussing losing Amazon Smile support. I didn't realize it effected all charities. I support Dr Rogers/North American Black Bears.  :(  ... I don't believe Amazon's reasons, Jeff Bezos wants to buy an NFL team!!!

Clynn, my mom's hairdryer was the one sitting on the table, it was yellow. I only used it when I put my hair in curlers for a special dance. Other than that I let my long hair dry naturally. You and your sis was lucky  ;D ... sweet SWFL babies, great pic by Desiree... beautiful pic of your capitol.... magnificent National Eagle Center photo!

Puff, glad you were able to get 3 minutes of sunshine!

Tsk, How did your Shawl meeting go? Now, that our Christmas & birthdays are over, we're giving up sweets too. It's been three days UGH! There's a box of candy Mike bought me for Christmas it'll be my treat before Lent.  ;D  ... I hope you're feeling better.

Hi Eagles  We usually get snow this time of year. We had 2 feet three years ago. Last year we had quite a few of below 20 degreees days.

Kb, gorgeous albino moose. just awesome.

Oldguy, I bet your co-workers enjoyed the cookies. Thanks for links.

Good Morning Beakers!

Currently 20, high 33. No sun today, dense fog this morning.

Lani, I was also stunned by the Amazon Smile announcement, mine was going to Wild Heart Ranch and I know they greatly appreciated the funds they received! And I also do not believe their stupid reason for discontinuing it, that' the program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped.' It means there was no BIG thing they could brag about, it was instead helping small programs all over the country.

Phyl, cute good night pic! That fox looks like it might be the one I posted earlier! I loved shopping at Famous Barr, probably because I worked there from 1978 to 1984, and that is where I met Ed! I started out in the Children's Shoe department, then to Linens and finally Manager of the Credit Office. Ed started in late 1981 after just getting out of the Marines. We married in 1984. How did you meet Jim?

oldguy, sounds like you had a nice birthday, just the way we like them as we wish the years would slow down...

tsk, six of you got 8 shawls done? Were you one of the ladies who made 2?  ;D  How long is the meeting? A wonderful thing to do for those who need prayers...

Phyl, I was getting worried about you! The Flyway is pretty, all frozen and snowy... The Black Eagles nest always amazes me! Love that first shame!

Sue Bruhling - My Feets Too Big!! LolLolLol!!!! 😉
The Baby E22, showing off one of his Big Feet!!!  Love it!! ❤ This is what we live for all year long!! Enjoy every chance you get... ❤
Southwest Florida Eagles - January 22, 2023 Thank You! Debbie Botelho for sharing your Post & Picture with us! ❤

kb - Be careful out there! I hope you relax today, since you have nothing on your calendar.

clynn - I will tell him!  :D  Beautiful pics in your evening post.  We had a fox in our yard early this morning.  Jeff had no glasses on, and says, there is some big dog out front.   ;D So glad the eye is better on the SWFL kiddo!

PHYL   Nice bright coffee greeting this AM  :)    All Sees candy gone with the group!   Amazing the a black eagle does not fall out of that nest!
Cat-Eye - that's a new one.

CLYNN  The tea cups remind me of what Disney movie?  Cinderella? ( Angela Landsbury)     Our shawl group meets once/mon.  We do not meet in Nov or Dec.  I had made 2 and another girl 5 and another 1.  The girl that makes the most was not able to come.  There are only 3-4 of us who consistently make shawls.  Amazing Mama and her kids - Would love to see the genetics on that one.  ;) ;)

LANI   16 degrees - WOW  Does Sadie wear a coat??  Roadrunner has some nice protective coloring.   LOLOL  NO I don't want to go to the vet.
Cuteness overload is right with the new Royal baby

LISA   We do have foxes that appear occasionally around here too.

Started out as partly cloudy here this am but the sun is starting to hide a lot....  Temps started in the upper 20s but now is close to peaking in the upper 30s before dropping close to freezing for the next 30 hours with possible snow from midnight to 6pm tomorrow.  Forecast this morning is only 1 in.
Ryan is Live today - 2 tornado warnings at this time in Texas.   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE49RhE3VHM
Lisa - Mobile is on target for tonight.
It looks like that most of us in the Midwest is going to be on the outer edges of this storm - the snow will stay to our south and Phyl will be south of the snow and look forward to some rain and wind.

I have not found any 'worthy' videos this morning... :(

We don't have so many strait roads here and our trails are even more crooked-ed.   ;)

BL - loved the tunes and Bio piece - too bad that some of the audio is missing. ::)  I was looking also on the walk route - unknown status on the street 1 block south - but it does have a sidewalk that might help if it is maintained better than the side streets.  Using Irving and that street would get back to a 2k walk.

Are rainbows really arches?
If you have the right vantage point, a rainbow might look circular. Here's the science behind why some rainbows look like arches and others don't.

Phyl, love the morning pic, reminds me of Mary Engelbreit!  Good blog on the brood patch.  We are at 30 right now, high 31. Cloudy, but lots of sun yesterday. Beautiful sunsets at the Decorah and North nests! And there they are, our Decorah and North couples together! Love seeing them! Will read your articles later, have to get ready for my Princess Bella!

Lani, I bet the view out of your windows is beautiful with that 4" of new snow! Aww, Sadie doesn't like a coat, she is a cold weather dog! Does she love the snow?

oldguy, great 'Cats Try Not to Break Anything Challenge'!

E4E, yes, Miss Munchkin today! I only have Bella, Talon is in school (2nd grade). I will have both of them this summer, and when school starts in late August I will have no Munchkins. Bella will be in Kindergarten. Seems like she shouldn't be old enough to go to shcool but she will be 5 next month...

Lori, wonder if the owls will take over N2B...I really don't like owls that close to N1... so I hope not!

tsk, on the weather channel radar itlooks like we just missed the snow you are getting...

Lisa, you need another trail cam...  ;D ;D

Morning all.

BL - I was lucky enough to see CSN&Y live here in Minneapolis....little did we know we were watching one of the greatest bands at the time....thanks.

Yup, a 30 minute walk for Ollie man and I in the winter....in summer, more like 25..... :) I don't let Ollie man walk me....I walk him and only a nano second allowed for those sniffs of yellow snow...still, I take it steady and careful on ice. My town set it's grid straight...

clynn - The cracker table and chairs are adorable!  Yes, we do and have thought about it.  I wanted to give Jeff another one for Christmas, but he changed his mind.  Cute Black-capped chickadee.  Have a good Bella day!

Phyl - Yikes, on the earthquake. Great pics from DNN.  I would love to have a print of that morning pic for my kitchen wall! 

oldguy - I can't agree more with your coffee pic  :D

Lani - Thanks, I am sure Mama will say this morning, oh we didn't get any bad weather. ::)
She will leave the Thursday before Mardi Gras to head to my Aunt's house for big day.  Beautiful pic from Seal Island.

E4E - Hmm, that is an idea about the cams.

Hi BEAKERS

34 degrees and snow all day.  This will be our first "snow blower" snowfall this winter.  This day also we will start seeing 2 minutes more of light each day  ;D  Don't think I will be able to snow blow and am afraid for Tim that he might fall.  We shall see how the day goes.

LORI   Don't think that GHO has a chance if it is interested in nesting  :o

LANI   Tough little Sadie  ;D ;)

BL   You love maps  ;D

OLDGUY  Loved the TP challenge in Kittysauraus.  Lulu hysterical.  Andrea Motis has a beautiful blues voice.

PHYL   I think she will not waste the TP    No reason why it can't be used??  A very tedious set up.  Must have taken all day to do that shoot. Nature is amazing when it comes to brood patches - all the biology that has to go on..

CLYNN   Saltine tea party  ;D   Don't think HM and HD will let an owl get that close. Will snow here all day.  Just saw the neighbor do the front sidewalk and it looks like about  2-3" so far.  I hate to say this but we need the snow...  Lesley is like St Francis of Assisi.  :)   That aging musicians list was very interesting.  Lots of great talent still left.  Think I heard yesterday the Mick Jagger is doing another world tour this year...

KB  Beautiful AM photo .  Agree about great musicians of our time

Good morning!

Hi Lori, Puff, Tig, Tsk, Baz :)

Lani - Sadie must not get cold during those early morning walks or she would probably want a coat  :)    The cameras are just to watch views on all sides of our premises. 

BL - Looks like a good route for a walk  :)

Oldguy - Liked cat challenge vid!

Phyl - Love the DNN pics  -  the nest looks gigantic in the last pic!  I had not heard of the Malibu area earthquake - thank you!

Clynn - Cute little cracker chairs & table!     Have a wonderful 'Bella' day! ;D ;D   Love the sweet black-capped chickadee pic  :)   List of aging musicians  ;D

Kb - Beautiful morning pic  :)   Have a safe walk with Ollie Man - I know you are careful  :)

LisaG - Yummy morning greeting  :)

Later this morning, I am taking Star to her regularly scheduled check-up appt.  She will be 15 next month!

Everyone have a nice day.

Ugg...I wondered why 2 cop cars visited the apartment across the street last night..

I reviewed my video and heard from a different neighbor....Someone had their car stolen last night. I was outside with Ollie and back inside just 2 minutes before the dark SUV drove by, saw the car parked in the driveway without it's owner in it, he had just run in for a few minutes, they turned around in the parking lot, one got out and stole the guys car...I saw the owner come out maybe 5 minutes later and saw his car was gone.

Can't see the license plate.....oh maybe I'll zoom in closer but most likely too far away.

Don't leave your keys in your car even for a minute peeps.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Eagles, your cams for safety... I've been watching a detective series, called See No Evil. It's a True Crime series on how the police have solved crimes by the use of cams, whether on business properties, streets or residential. If they didn't have these cams available to them, there would be more cold cases... Its made me alert when I'm entering Walmart, shops, etc. Did you know Walmart keeps a hidden cam in outside vending machines or toy vending machines near entrances facing the parking lot? The other thing that amazes me is how many seniors or single women go to Walmart between the hours of 11pm and 5am!  ??? Thankfully, I'm learning what not to do.  :-\ ... I hope all goes well for sweet Star's annual check up  :-*

Tsk, I hope it doesn't snow too much for you. Mike can't help anymore, so I've done the snow shoveling duties these days. He makes sure I have a nice hot cup of tea when I go in. :)
A 3foot coachwhip snake was hiding behind a potted vine plant I had on the top shelf of the baker's rack on the front entrance of our former Scottsdale home. I had just returned home from Lowe's with plants, I set a large pot on the middle shelf of the baker's rack.  I heard the sound like a train, turned toward the sound and the snake stared and hissed. I turned and it struck my right ear, my eye glasses flew several feet away, it dropped on my feet, I looked to make sure it wasn't a rattler and it slithered passed my dog Barkley and went into the open door of the house. I ran to the neighbors for help. Barkley had followed the snake in and had it cornered behind the front door. Neighbors came to help me, one picked up the snake with a catcher and the other helped me call 911 to make sure I didn't need immediate medical care. I did have a nice cut on my right ear lobe, it healed after a couple of weeks. I have a scar and a small split on my ear lobe. And a terrible fear of snakes. 

Lisa, I hope the weather is good for your mama and aunt on the big day!  ;D

Kb, sweet morning pic... so true about the great musicians and singers of our time!  Good God, I don't think I could recover from having a iguana falling on me!! Geez  :o :o :o

Clynn, I can't imagine Miss Bella will be five! Geez, the time flies by too quickly... Sadie loves the snow, she loves to stick her nose deep in and smell strange animal scents. We saw large fresh tracks in the snow with claws. I'm going to do a little exploring online to see if it's a wolf or Mountain Lion track. It's not a coyote or dog, it's too big! Sadie's hackles went up and she growled in that area.

Oldguy, thanks for link.

Phyl, thanks for Amy's blog and Decorah North pics... thanks for articles, will read later. I re-roll our TP after Norman has his fun! Other than that I keep it up where he can't reach it.

E4E - Those croissants sure did look yummy.  Good luck to Star at her appointment.

kb - Yikes, on the Iguana on the man's face.  Yes, not good to leave your keys in the car.

Bella and I have already done some art work, now she is having some Ah-pad time with a snack she created of popcorn, Hersheys chocolate and M&Ms! She wanted mac and cheese at 9:30!

A few hours later.  We went all through the baby doll stuff I had, and of course, she needs almost all of it for her baby doll.! We had to wrap several pieces of candy, she loves to wrap presents! Lunch, nail painting (she wanted 5 colors!) Littlest Pet Shop critters, a couple of games and now she is on the Ah-Pad. She hasn't looked at it much today.

Lani, glad to see GLY home to see the little one! So now Mom goes off, right? Oohn your snake storyn it gave me the heebie jeebies! I have to keep my paper towels in a cabinet, that Harley!

LANI  Is See No Evil a streamed series or Network?  So between 11 and 5 is NOT the time to go to Walmart if you are a senior?  Yes,  Lani, that is the terrible story I remember you told us about years ago.  What a nightmare and you have some residual scarring as a result.  Let us know if you discover the tracks animal.  Proud papa Royal Gly

LISA   LOL  Tim procrastinated so long - he ran his errands first - that he is not snow blowing because it is too heavy and will melt anyway .

Tsk nice snowfall gif today. No snowblowing for either of you.  Yes. The days will s-l-ow-l-y become longer.  ;D
Nope. The TP can't be reused for it's original purpose-not after the cats been on it and then all over the floor. 
.That's what I meant by 'waste'.

Eagles that is one of the cutest gifs you've posted in the AM. Good visit for Star

KB that  20 pound iguana  news story   :o ; The police would really love to see your video on that car thieft.

Lani good grief! Do be extra careful with those outdoor jobs...snakes and all.  You were very fortunate then.   :-*
 When I see snakes I back away very slowly and keep my eyes on them  ...

Tsk - Hope you & Tim did not need to try and attempt snow blowing today - try to take care - maybe you know someone you can call on for some help.

Phyl - Thank you  & Tsk for compliment on my morning gif (Mr. Coffee)!  Like all pics!

Lani - Love the Royal cam pic & info!   We too watch 'See No Evil' - it is hard to watch sometimes, but it sure teaches people how to try to stay safe and to trust your intuition when something doesn't feel right!   I did not know that Walmart has so many cameras in all those different places - but glad they do!!   Wow, terrible story of how that snake struck when you were not expecting it - so sorry that happened to you - I know that happened previously, but the fear never goes away . . . . .

Clynn - Can't believe that Bella will be 5 years old next month - when is her birthday? (if you don't mind my asking).    Love the Bella pics - she sure has wonderful quality time with you!!!! ;D    Sam Elliott is my favorite!!

Kb - You have a beautiful home that you & Scott made a home together, so I understand you would not want to leave there.

LisaG - Wow!! Those King cakes look so luscious - lucky Bradley & Kelly!!

Eagles, Did Star have a good checkup?

Tig, Mike Rowe and Iguana, it's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it!   ;D

Lisa, the King Cake looks so delicious!  ;D

Phyl, cute Coffee Wall Art. I'm always watching for critters big and small.  :) .. Lisa does take a great job capturing those special moments  ;) ;D

Tsk, "See No Evil" is on Discovery+ .. I don't think it's a safe time for seniors to go shopping from 11pm to 5am. I saw a sweet 73 year old woman who does a lot of volunteering at a homeless shelter, go to Walmart at 11:30pm to buy a few things, and then walk home which was a couple blocks away. Her killer was waiting for her when she walked away from the lighted area over the parking lot. 4 episodes involve people shopping late at Walmart.... There's no security guard or Walmart employees watching for safety purposes, only CCTV and that's after the crime. very sad. I often say prayer.

Clynn, You and Miss Bella had a busy day! She's such a cutie  :-*. ... yes, Hunks!  ;D
yes Royal Albatross mom (L) now leaves for a few days to eat and hydrate. Dad will feed baby from the food he has eaten these past days...

1/25 16:58.  L prepares to take-off, and by GLY’s sky call – more than ready to meet & greet his #RoyalCam chick.
The 1st change-over since SP arrived, there will be many, many more. Their focus will now be feeding their chick for the next 8 months (approx. 240 days).

video of dad gently touching SP and getting acquainted, and letting mom know all will be well. And mom quietly leaves to forage for food. So sweet  :-*

Act Biggy - So an elderly Italian man living alone in New Jersey wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.  Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop, Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried. Love,Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie

Morning tig and all  :)

Phyl - Great pics from the RRP cams.  Yum, on your cinnamon King Cake! Thanks for the link to the wall coffee art.  That is not a bad price.   ;) 

Lani - The King Cake was very good.  Jeff would like the "See No Evil" that you are watching.  We have been watching Mayfair Witches on Starz.  It's based on the book, Lives of the Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice. Good show. Beautiful pic from Payson!  Thanks for the Royal update.

E4E -  :D

clynn - Great pics from Bella day!  Both of the King Cakes were the same flavor, Pralines & Cream.  Aww, the woodpecker home was saved! Hunks  :-*  LOL, the tomato garden story!  Those planters are adorable.

Lani - Star got a good report - her heart was good - she's just slowing down - she was prescribed a bottle of Gabapentin to give her some drops everyday to ease her arthritic discomfort.     Thanks for the albatross vid - cute!

Phyl - I remember square dancing in elementary school - but it was a girl's thing and then it was only once in a while.  It was really fun!!   Like the pic of HM & HD snoozing.   All good pics! ;D

Tsk - Cute gif this morning!  You obviously got your Mom's talent/skill for making things! :)

 Anyway---Dr. Steele prescribe Cosequin  for Maggie last year. I buy it from Amazon  about $25 for 55 max strength capsules to sprinkle, it's tasteless.

HI EVERYONE


PHYL  My Mom and Dad belonged to a square dancing group and Mom made all her dresses.  She had the hoop skirt frame too  LOL[/size]

My parents were part of an amature square dance group called 'The Merry Miners' that formed there at the mine. They had name badges, the shoes and all.
Dad wore the popular Western shirts with the pearl snaps a bolo tie, boots and the slim fit dress pants. Mom made all her dresses that were layered with petitie coats as was the tradition of square dancing. They met weekly and did local tours from time to time. I have a reel of 16mm film of them and the the group performing in our local recreation hall there at the community near the mine itself.
When the school had classes for the kids my mom (as she did with all my wardrobe) made me smaller versions of her dresses for our days when us kids cleared the class room and circled the desks and 'do-see-do' the afternoon away.   Us kids learned all the dances. Gosh springtime was fun.

Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Eagles, glad to hear Star had a good report. The Gabapentin will give her comfort, as it did for my sweet boy Bandit.  :-*

Lisa, love Anne Rice's books. Jeff would like See no Evil. Shannon bought us a Ring Doorbell cam, we need to set that up. Our next door neighbors spend the winter in their Tucson home. They have a doorbell cam as well as one on their lower deck. We're in a gated community, so it's very secure... have a nice day with Bradley. Safe travels.

Clynn, I'm am LOL over Vinnie and Pop!!!  ;D ;D ;D ... loved saving the woodpecker's nest.

Phyl, we were taught dancing in Junior High as part of PE class (boys/girls). Besides square dancing, two step, waltz, traditional Folk dances from the Philippines, Maori, and of course hula.

TRR - Landon eating his beans  :-*

TIG   I think because of Mom who was my brownie and girl scout leader we learned to square dance as well   ;) ;)

LISA   I love biscotti!!!  I should make some  LOL  Enjoy some time with your son.  I forget, does he work from home?

EAGLES   Now that is a cup of coffee!!  You rare taking good care of little Star  :-*

KB   Such a cute AM pic  ;D  "I can clap"

PHYL  Been lightly snowing on and off so far today. Like to look out the window.  Great story about Mom and Dad's square dancing group.  It was a pretty big thing in that generation.  Millennials - "huh"????   What stone is in that ring?   Bottle - sprinkler for ironing clothes

OLDGUY   Loved the Santi piece.   Cat on the umbrella and that cute little hedgehog!  Watching that cat video makes me nervous for Xmas  LOL
Bellamy has a lot of natural rhythm.

LANI   Would have loved your junior high class.

Phyl, love your Mood Ring, I had one just like that!  I have it SOMEWHERE! My Mom also had that sprinkler top, on a Coca-Cola bottle. I remember sprinkling all the clothes that needed to be ironed, I loved to iron! If there was room we put the bag of sprinkled clothes in the freezer! It was a heavy plastic feed bag from Grandma's house... Your folks were professional square dancers!

tsk, I am also a former Brownie and Girl Scout! I made it all the way through to Cadette! Cathy and I had a lot of fun, we had a very good leader! We were always begging Mom to take us to the Girl Scout store to get our badges! I still have my badge sash SOMEWHERE! Did your Mom wear the Leader uniform?

oldguy, great Walter Santi video! Fun seeing the hedgehogs! Funny cats was very funny!

E4E, hooray for Star and her good checkup!

Lani, Erin got us a Ring Doorbell last year at Christmas, we haven't got it set up yet either! All of my dance learning was  in5th/6th grade and Jr. High when we lived in Arizona at Luke AFB. We even had Home Ec in Jr. High, probably why I love to sew...  Love the squirrel on the snowman's head!

Act Biggy - So an elderly Italian man living alone in New Jersey wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.  Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop, Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried. Love,Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie

Yep, again, my Mom was our leader... Brownies thru Seniors. And we wore the complete uniforms and I have my badge sash. And then my Bro started an Explorer group at the police dept. and I was a member for three years. Not much of a stretch I eventually followed his example as an officer and became a security officer for 8 years.

KB   Lake Geneva Wi usually has a snow sculpture contest but don't know about this year.  I enjoy going to them.  That one looks great.  Hey Thomas Demma.  Wish his face was clearer..  Love that guy.

The bottle type didn't matter, really. Just that the Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper fit the hand well.

Oldguy, Loved Walter Santi's video. Sweet Walter having put up with all the cats and now Hedgehogs.  ;D  Hedgehogs are a lot bigger than I thought they would be.

Phyl, I still have my mood ring someplace.... cool vintage lamp.

Clynn, Mom and I did the same thing after we sprinkled the clothes. Fold it and put it in the freezer or wrapped in refrig till time to iron. I love to iron, so I did the every day clothes and my mom ironed my step-father's Navy uniform and clothes... The Big Bear nest, I pray the eggs will be okay....

Kb, pretty snow sculptures... nice to see Thomas Demma! ;D

Tig, Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Eagles, I tried Cosequin for Bandit it didn't help as well as the Gabapentin. Shannon gives her dog Gabapentin as recommended by vet. She has severe arthritis and it helps. I pray Star will find relief with either.  :-*

Phyl - Yep, crossed the bridge, and boy it was a windy drive across, too.  Mood ring?  I loved those as a teen. 

oldguy - Loved your Thirsty Thursday pic. 

Lani - How nice of Shannon to get you all a Ring doorbell cam!  Do you need an electrician to set one of those up? 

tsk - I love biscotti too.  They bakery at the grocery makes their own, and they make a cranberry pistachio....yummy!  Bradley is back in the office now. 

clynn - Wow, all the snow at Big Bear!

Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink, bbgolden and Nrstooge
 
Tsk ‘they’ call it ‘mid-century’ Atomic  as opposed to ‘1950’s’ 

Eagles do ask vet before switching. Dr Steele knows how I feel about ‘drugs’ and prescribes supplements when possible.  Have you heard of Condroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine? Both are found in Nature and are supplemsnts for bone health and prescribed to humans for arthritis---we, Jim
 and I take this in combo capsule 2 @ 1500mg each. Cosequin is made of these .

Lani  thanks for the Royal Albatross cam update and video 'sweet dreams' SP  :-*   cute polar bear sliding down the snowy tunnel

Oldguy tks for the tunes

Lisa pretty lavendar themed greeting this AM, very 'spring-like'

I think this might be a male  Black-headed Grosbeak

35 right now, high 37. Windy with rain and snow showers mixed this morning. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of precip 60%. Higher wind gusts possible. Hmmmm!  ::)

tsk, cute good morning kitty! You may or may not have a better day tomorrow, warmer here today but crap going on with wind, rain, snow!

Phyl, my Mom had a Rose Breasted Grosbeak that she saw only a couple of times, then it was gone too! Might be an eastern Towhee? Pic below.  Oh my gosh, that Golden Eagle is huge! I wonder if the Goldens are ony in the Driftless area of Iowa, I have never heard of any others anywhere else. That kitty is enjoying his coffee!

Lisa, pretty Good Morning picture, a reminder that Spring is coming! I love biscotti too, especially with cranberries and almonds in it. And scones too! My perfect breakfast, a Cinnamon Dolce Latte with an orange cranberry scone!

Lani - I'm sure the gabapentin will help; it was expensive tho:  $46.00 for a small bottle with a 'dropper', and I give her .3 once a day.  I told the Vet I had been giving her 1-Low dose aspirin a day:  1/2 in her morning meal and the other 1/2 in her dinner.  She said that was fine that I had been doing that!

Oldguy - Thanks for music links - I will go back to look at them!

LisaG - Will Jeff still be able to work at least one day from home?

Phyl - Thank you for info!   Love the pics of the little bird  :)

Piles are way too high....1st pic is mostly from neighbor where now I can't throw on top of without falling down so today I took an hour to just move snow all to my piles on the south side...

(KB)
My bro came and shoveled and snow plowed our driveway while I swept our walk. I was able to go to the pool and was basically alone with the sun streaming in. Then showered, washed my hair there. On the way home I saw 2 BEs flying over the way I was headed. I think it may have been one of the DNR residents chasing an intruder. ??
We may do a movie (will get rewards points to see "Maybe I Do", a comedy) and a burger (at the Am. Legion?) later before the temps plunge.

Home owners keep them clear for the most part, but many posts on our city FB page reminding people to do it...the one across the street from me is primarily clear cause nobody pushes snow up around it, plus there is a sidewalk behind it....a sidewalk to nowhere, and the city keeps the sidewalk clear. Have no idea the concept of that sidewalk....the only one in my neighborhood and it only goes in front of that building up to the firehouse...then, nada.

This year cause we are already Double a normal snowfall it will be months to melt that snow..maybe May?

Luv your pink chrochet kitty this AM
When I was in late teens had a neighbor whose kitty love a treat of Gerber baby food 2nd sitter turkey---she'd use her paw and scoop it out. Her mom would put a Kleenx in the floor and set the jar on it. Kitty cleaned her paws so well her mom'd never have to wipe them.
We've been getting lots of bird s that aren't common to  our area. They move on in a few days never to be seen again.

Eagles Maggie had her visit and blood take for a full 'old lady panel' as Dr. Steele says. Other wise in great shape for a geratric gal.  Although down a half pound.

Tsk It's a Black-headed Grosbeak w/yellow beak, I checked.  Towhee's have black beaks . Having different birds in our area can be due to poor enviorment or illness and they move a way for a spell. Sometime migrations patterns change as do dwelling areas.

Good evening Beakers

Clynn - here is a map of the Golden Eagle range...
https://landpotential.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/SGL_Species_Golden_eagle.jpg

Golden Eagles are divided into 6 subspecies - 2 of them found in N. America - American Golden Eagle is primarily found in the forests of Western N. America, the Eastern Golden Eagle is found East of the Mississippi in the deciduous tree areas.  They seldom are found in the same habitat as Bald Eagles, with the Golden eating mammals and the Bald eating fish, roadkill and other already dead animals.  The RRP study is on the Eastern Golden.

tsk - Love your idea of taking bets on when the snow will be gone this year!...piles and all..

I was just out front with Ollie man doing his business...I realize this and only this year have I not picked up dog poo front or back....this spring will be something....it's all just cased in concrete...I have a semi-circular path in front and he has made his own paths in back....that's where it will mostly be.

In years past, I could use a shovel and dump snow plus in a bag or in a container out back. I can't even get to that container this year! I have had most of it up before spring.

Will not be fun this year....I need a stinky emoji ;)

Hi Eagles, Mike is fine. He's been busy with work. We're suppose to get snow on Monday or Tuesday, but temps have been in the mid teens in the morning. Any rain coming your way?

I had a long day of meetings today, just finished doing dishes and catching up with laundry.
I hope everyone had a good day. I'm tired, See you all in the morning.

Good night!

Morning all.

BRRR....2 above and only climbing a few degrees today.

Which is why I'm surprised to see 1/2 of the Tower pair up on the water tower and just saw it's mate fly low over my roof....always cool....but I normally think of them hunkered down in some pine tree with temps like this....oh well, my benefit......oh and now he just left in the same direction as she did!...go stay warm now.

IT'S CATURDAY

I had just taken everything out of the cabinet and cleaned.  Then the "inspector" had to approve a job well done"

PHYL  Cool shot of the eagle's wings on take off.  Cute cat funnies this AM  ;D

LISA  Nothing of measurable snow yesterday but are expecting some today.  In fact very light snow now.

OLDGUY   Great map of golden eagle range.  Didn't know they bred so far north.  Really, we are studying the Eastern golden??  Didn't know that.

EAGLES  Don't really want to talk about it but 3 different pain killers have not helped and I'm almost totally incapacitated. Will see Doc Friday.

LANI  Cute tired kitty last night  :)

EAGLES   busy day today.  :)

Happy Caturday Beakers from brothers Milo (L) and Norman (R)!  :-*
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Phyl, We have Rose Breasted Grosbeak that like to migrate through our area and stop by our feeders. They come and go depending on the weather/season. Thanks for RRP's blog, gorgeous Golden Eagle... nice pic of lone eagle on Flyaway yesterday... like your Caturday pics.

Lisa, I was so tired last night, I felt like that cat. I'm getting ready for a big state convention and my days and nights will be like that until convention is over in May. I may not be able to spend much time here in April.

Clynn,  They are a very beautiful pair. Dude? LOL! He's too beautiful for that name. Of course that's my opinion.  ;D ... love the tree full of eagles, and sweet SWFL pics.

Kb, sweet Ellies... I'll be happy for you when spring arrives.

Oldguy, thanks for Golden Eagle info, didn't know that. It would be great to follow a GE nest. The closest one I watched was on the Eaglecrest cam. I liked the White Tail eagles that Eagle-duck kept us aware of.

Eagles, we have rain starting tomorrow night too! We are going to have a gorgeous spring with all this rain. We're hoping the chance of fires will be low this next summer. But, you can never tell over the hills where the green spring brush will turn brown and will make easy targets for dry lightning storms.

Tsk, Lulu the inspector starring at the empty spot on the shelf and thinking that would be a perfect nesting spot for her.  ;D. Gosh, she has gorgeous markings and beautiful body lines.

It's a gorgeous sunny day here, 44 degrees.
Aly will having a online visit with Medford Family Therapist Group that are hoping Aly will change her mind and accept a job with them.
Aly's considering it. We'll see.

We have gotten about 1 - 1.5 in. of snow today - temps are low 20s

I got my 2nd dose of Shingles vaccine yesterday - the first one, I barely noticed any effects - but this one has been very unpleasant...  Last night was the worst  - took a long time to get warmed up - today has been unsteady walking - starting to get better though...

T40   I love "the world is a cat playing with Australia"   LOL    " Face the vinyl curtain"  LOLOLOL  " Cat traps"  Perfect!!  Love the vid shorts esp Sasse's slo-mo.  Tiny Fey was funny  LOL

KB  You can do that trick if you circle with right foot and draw with 6 left hand - different sides of the brain.  Good one.

Clynn Cozy Caturday kitty; good AM greetings, esp #3; nice photo of Iowa and SWFL kid-os; Humane Soc bag check squad LOL

Lisa  good news on 'the menagerie'

Eagles  'Hello Kitty' gif   :-* ; enjoy your outing with your mom  ;)

Kbsweet cow and calf elephants; good for   you---you saw one of the Towers

Tsk  Well now you know everything you do will be 'kitty approved'  ;    {{{}}} have you tried 'Lulu purrs'? Seriously, cat's purr is at the correct megahtz for pain relief---medical fact.  Luv the snap of Lulu ---she's right a home  :-*  I much prefere 'Lulu' as opposed to 'Winefred' . So happy you both feel that way about her.

Lani luv Milo and Norman  :-*;  while you're at convention, we'll manage, some how--- :-* ;) . I love it when bird species migrate to  and visit here for a few days. I try to always get snaps of them. Like the Sparrows that nested here 3 seasons ago picked box #1 the favorite of our Bluebirds and the BBs had to use box #2 instead.
Oh! Had a RSH (round-shouldered hawk)perch on the deck rail earlier---didn't make it to iPhone in time.  :(  Sending prayers for Aly's interview

T40 LOL

Oldguy thanks for your post---sure hope you feel much better soon! Now we know what's in store for us.  Think we'll do them on afirst weekend after the other doc appointment are over.

We tried our new flip waffle maker tonite. Prepped all into bite sized pieces into a bowl and drizzled syrup over. .. Kodiak power waffles  mix, bacon, fajita chicken strips, and no sugar added peaches. Yum. I think Camper would prefer the traditional way of service however.

We had a nasty surprise when we went to our cars to go home from the card game tonight.  A thick coat of freezing drizzle on everything - 18 degrees out - had to get the cars warmed up enough so the wipers could keep the windshield clear. - BTW  won both games tonight and almost feeling normal again.

Lani, you will do a great job on the convention, of that I am sure...no need for you to stress! I was thinking that the other job Aly was considering earlier was in Oregon! Wow, they really want her, that's great! But I am betting it will be a very hard decision for her, being so far away from you and Mike...

oldguy, congrats on getting back in your groove with your card games! I don't think we got the ice you did, just about 3-4" of snow. I didn't go out yesterday, used the grocery store delivery!

tsk, Lulu is the perfect name!

Phyl, Maggie is the new Dishwasher Inspector!  Broccoli Beef is my favorite Chinese food, I never order anything else! Love the little girl with all the kitties!  The ginger cat's legs look like drumsticks! The Flyway looks lonely...  2 degrees here, high today is 9.  -1 for tonight's low...

Addicted To Gardening · Leo Hays  · This is so interesting... You are looking at Magical "Ghost Apples" in the Fruit Ridge area of Kent County, Michigan.
An unusual phenomenon when freezing rain coats rotting apples before they fall. The apple turns mushy and eventually slips out, leaving the icy shell still hanging on the tree.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

22 degrees going to 27  Then temps plummet.  Sun on Monday  ;D   Think we got about 4" of snow.  If I was able , would have snow blowed yesterday but Tim moves slower than I so he will get to it today  ;) ;)

KB   Those are amazing pics from the ice palace.

OLDGUY  Glad the shingles shot didn't stop you from a cards night - and spurred you on to win  ;D  Too bad tho about the freezing drizzle.

LANI   I remember now - you're in charge of registration. But you are a very organized person which is what it takes for a job with a lot of detail.  Yes you will be busy  ;)   Medford, Oregon.  That's the down side - so far away  :(   Cute good night kitty.

PHYL   " snot bubbles"  Nature is so interesting and more so the researchers who want to know these things  :o   Peaceful flyway this AM  Heard some people are renting chickens.  Turns out to be more expensive than the raised egg prices at the market  LOL   Ice apples - very pretty.

LISA   Drooling over that chocolate cupcake but realizing oatmeal this AM  LOL

TIG  Enjoy your adventure today

Tig - if you go, don't get out of the car! ;) ;)..-3 without wind chill factored in right now and not getting much warmer today than 3 above or so....colder even still tonight.

Lani - One of my best friends lives in Medford....known her since in my 20's...she's lived there now for quite awhile...met her when we both flew for Western Airlines and have remained close ever since. If Aly chooses Medford I bet she'd help her out a bit to find her way around.

It was a nice outing yesterday with my Mom.  After getting home, I got busy with a project and then it was time to eat a little dinner and so I didn't get back on here to say goodnight - the time went by so quickly.  Going to do a little catch up now.

Tsk - Okay, I understand.  So sorry for what you are dealing with {{Tsk}}    Love the pic of Lulu the inspector!

LisaG - Thanks - yes I had a nice day with my Mom.

Lani - Love the sweet cuddly pic of Milo & Norman  ;D    Sounds like you are already getting busy preparing for the convention - don't feel bad if you won't have time to be on here much in April - you will have to prioritize!!    Wishing Aly all the best whether she accepts the job or holds out for another offer.

T40 - Your Caturday stuff Lol!  Thanks for links!

Oldguy - Hope you feel better soon.   Glad you had a great night at cards - but oh no, coming out to your car - yikes!!

Kb - You are right - I did not succeed either! ;D

Phyl - Gorgeous white serval.  Yumm - Chinese food - I bet you both enjoyed!   Love the cute pic of Maggie checking out your dishwasher!! ;D

Tig - Yaaay for using your new flip waffle maker - sure sounds like you made quite a delicious dinner!! ;D

Clynn - Cute a.m. gifs!  I too, like beef & broccoli at the Chinese restaurant!

Clynn terrific 'Peace' greeting  ;)   ; another great Beatle's tune---https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Be_(Beatles_song) (http://-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Be_(Beatles_song)). Gosh! you';re chilly. Those Bengal kittens are a handful---that flooring is very similar to mine. Isn't it? ;D 
 Amazing article on the 'ghost apples'. Nature is just awesome!!

Lisa In my youth, I"ve had dessert for breakfast. And, nary an ounce put on my hips.

Oldguy a double win.  :)   And, you got home safely too. A win-win-win.  ;)

Eagles so glad you and your mama had a wonderful time together.

Kb love the harmony of the Everly Bros.. Thanks for sharing. ;)  Like Tsk, never heard that one before
Scott's muskie catch---awesome. Nice trophy for the den too.

Lori kitty looks like it's howling due to the frosty snow. Suprizing how energetic the cold weather can make animals and humans alike.

Tig so relieved you two stayed home today.  ;)   Have you and Camper seen 'Ticket to Paradise'?   ::)  Of course you have.  :)    What'd you think of it?

Tsk  mixed fruit on oats.  And, I just sprinkle raisins or Craisins.  ::)

tsk - Scott was proud....I could not do justice to his telling of the story of how he caught it..no way.

In part, he saw one through the hole that was even bigger, then caught this one and thought once he brought it up he wouldn't be able to hang on...eventually he threw it out of his fish house and out on the ice.
He was like a kid telling the story and the amazement in his voice was palpable.

At one point he had 5 fish houses out on different lakes at the same time.

My shed at the bottom of my hill is actually one of those fish houses..he just put a new roof with shingles on it that match our roof on the house...we found extra's in the attic.

Phyl, lovely Good Morning pic!  3 here at the moment, high will be 9. But we have some mid 30s and low 40s coming!  So funny, 'Jimmy, answer me please!" Love the skateboarding mouse on the cat's head!  Gorgeous sunrise on the Flyway!

Lisa, I love the feel of coming from the salon! It's like going to a therapist, I do enjoy chatting with my Theresa! She has been my stylist/therapist  for over 25 years!

Lani, yes, Aly has a bright future ahead of her, in a field that will always be needed! But I imagine it will be a hard decision for her... I try to have oatmeal most mornings, I have been making overnight oats, I do four at a time so I just have to heat it up in the morning. Fresh berries go in after it's warmed. Sliced almonds, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, craisins, just whatever I want to throw in! And I use almond milk, so it's pretty darn healthy! There are so many overnight oatmeal recipes on Pinterest, some not so healthy!  ;D

HI EVERYONE

10 degrees  feels like 3  Heading to 13 - partly sunny?

KB   Scott had 5 fish houses?  Who manned them? Or did he set up poles in each and then check on them?  Must have taken forever to get 5 houses  out on the ice.

LISA  yes 1,000

LANI   Since I don't have children of my own I can only reflect on how it was when I moved out of my home in Milwaukee to come to Chicago for work.  I had turned down job offers in Milwaukee to take this job at the VA.  I remember my Mom standing on the front porch waving goodbye and our collie inside looking out the door screen.  Later Mom told me she cried so much when I left.  I was the only girl and very close to my Mom.  So glad for the Chiefs  ;D

BL  Winters for me are no where what I remember as a kid...We had very little snow last year and this year seems about the same so far.

PUFF  Same here  Tea and hot chocolate with Ready whip  ;) ;)

LISA  Your AM coffee looks good  ;)   Enjoy your haircut time.  ;)

CLYNN   "Grab your coffee and stay warm" - that's for sure today.  Always enjoy your AM posts  :)  What a sweet pic at SWFL - One for the calendar  ;D ;D

tsk - when I think of Scott in his prime he was a "Beast".....he had many portable fish houses....no he didn't leave poles down in them.

After marriage Scott didn't fish or hunt anymore....I tamed the "Beast" apparently :)....he became a real homebody.....I saw the "Beast" in action around here though...He built houses after returning from Vietnam and I could tell 'round here....lifting things no human should etc. I didn't actually discourage fishing and hunting he just loved his family and home better.

Brr....may get up to 1 above today...stay warm again tig!

Low of 6 this morning - expecting it to make it to 10 for a high - partly cloudy today with clear skies overnight, so the temps are dropping to -4 for the morning tomorrow.  I have no plans to go anywhere today...  Forecast has no pricipt until next Tues. and upper 30s on Sat.

Went out to lunch Sunday to celebrate my birthday - our usual Mexican restaurant -

I need to spend some time this week on the estate tax papers and get copies of everything to lawyer mailed out. Also have two financial accounts to get closed out - then the lawyer can complete the 22 taxes and see what is left for final expenses and distributions to the 2 major beneficiaries.

Update
The effects of the vacinne is now minimal - arm is tender at shot location, but no longer limiting arm use.. :)

Hi Tsk, Lani, Puff, Lori, Baz, BL, Pink, T40, Lilbro & All.

Tig - I had my Mom & sis come over last week to watch 'Elvis' and they loved the movie.  This was my 3rd time watching!  All of us are huge fans of Elvis Presley.    Toyota Corolla - at least it should be a good dependable car while you have it.  :)   Back in the early 80's, I drove a green toyota lift-back & loved it!  I'm sure the loaner model you are driving is much more sleek & modern! ;D

Oldguy - Glad you are bouncing back pretty quickly from the vaccine and happy that your arm is better too!  You seem very organized - I have no doubt you will get everything together for Taxes  ;) :)

Kb - Cute offer you made to BL Lol! ;D Funny! :)

LisaG & Clynn - You both have been going to your salon person for many years, and I went to the same person for years and then she got out of the business in 2018, so that is how long I have been going to my hair salon girl (since Sep. 2018).  No plans to ever change - I truly adore her and look forward to every appt.! ;D

Everyone have a good evening - stay safe & warm.

Back home, all is well! Thank you all for your concerns and prayers...

E4E, I call my hairdresser my therapist...she laughed at that!

tig, Ed picked up some chocolate bombs on clearance after Christmasm generic from our store, and I also picked up a package of Nestle's somewhere. He said the ones from our store were delicious and much better than the name brand ones! I have seen kits where you can make your own.

tsk, I had the same question, what does T1 refer to! Have never heard that before.

Lisa, I have to go to Sams either today or Thursday, for gas. And a few other things I always get there that Costco doesn't have. Like Velveeta Mac 'n Cheese for my little Princess who will be here tomorrow! Kings Hawiian Rolls for Sliders, Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls for Kelsey, Quaker Oats for Kelsey. And I am sure I will think of a couple more items. Costco has none of these items!

Phyl, another pretty sunrise at Decorah, and you caught one of the eagles calling for the other!

I saw these on FB a couple of days ago and kept forgetting to post them!

TIG   LOL on the chocolate bomb story. ::) ::)

EAGLES  I failed to report on "hairdresser".  Mine is a good friend of many years who used to work in a salon.  She left and did a lot of other small jobs and finally settled on a career in real-estate.  I never new her in her salon days but she now cuts hair in her home in her basement setup.  Just a haircut is all I need but always good to catch up with her.  She sold our first two homes in 1 day!!

CLYNN  That is spectacular video from SWFL with a good look at the fish and black racer snake.  Good to hear all is good with Ed

Good Morning Beakers

Had a low of minus 4 this morning, already up to +5 and heading for 16.  One more morning of negative on Fri. morning and then 3 days of 40s - not expecting any more precipt until late next week.

Tsk - after rereading Amy's blog - "T1 is located less than 100 yards from N1" - I think she is referring to one of the trees along the Hatchery drive that HM & HD use to guard the nest area - much like Decorah Mom used the "Maple" which is no longer there.  T1 designation is likely being used as an easy name that will not confuse anyone, as T1 is another Maple.

Maru never gives up 2   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1crJ0uQqBU

Time for another look back into music history...  The Collins Kids

Brother & Sister act that started out in 1954 - Larry was 10 and Lorrie was 13 - by 1955 they were a regular on Tex Ritter's Ranch Party - a local LA TV show
By that time Larry was writing much of their songs.  Lorrie was on the Ozzie & Harriet show in 1958 as Rickie's girlfriend - which was true off screen as well.  In 1959 the kids went on tour with Johnny Cash - where Lorrie fell in love with Johnny's manager Stu Carnal and eloped during the tour.  They were married for 20 years and had 2 kids - she started working with her brother again after the divorce.  Meanwhile Larry continued to write songs and work the west coast venues.  His guitar was a double-neck Mosrite guitar like his mentor, Joe Maphis.  Joe had it specially made and Larry got one just like it.  Joe played in the band with the Collins Kids for many years.
Lorrie died in 2018
Larry wrote 14 songs from 1957 to 1980  and then started writing songs for movies.
https://secondhandsongs.com/artist/4449/works

They are recognized as one of the founders of Rock-a-Billy music.  Much of the stage dancing by Chuck Berry was first done by Larry Collins.  The Collins kids were already rocking on the Town Hall Party in February, 1954 at ages 13 (Lorrie) and 11 (Larry), BEFORE Elvis released his first Sun Records recording in July, 1954 and before Chuck Berry's first recording released in May 1955. Buddy Holly's first recording wasn't released until May, 1957.  So the Collins Kids are rightfully and correctly considered original Rockabilly pioneers, as they had created a Rockabilly style all their own even before Bill Haley and the Comets released "Rock Around The Clock" in April 1954.  Their stage outfits were copied by many of the greats.

Lisa    Congratulations on the baby's gender---now you know who to buy for and Kelley will know what colors and styles to crochet while she waits. So happy for everyone! Prayers for a healthy baby and safe delivery.

Tsk  T1 is the tree to the right of N1 closer to the bridge.  My understanding from the pics  posted by RRP. If  you go back to my post this AM of HM squeeing---she's in TI (Tree 1)  Here's a graphic from STL that explains it all.

From STL in Decorah thread today:
"Possible reference pic for the location of T1. This one is from New Year's Day, 2022.
Phyl, yours is almost the same view."

Behold one of the pictures that won Matjaz Krivic the title of Travel Photographer of the Year 2022. Captured in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Nanyuki, Kenya, the poignant shot shows Najin, one of the last two northern white rhinos left in the world, resting in the heat of the afternoon with her caretaker Zachary Mutai. Krivic explains: ‘The northern white rhino is all but extinct. The two last males died several years ago. The two females are still with us, but [they’re] too feeble to bear babies.’ The photographer explains that the rhinos' eggs are now being artificially fertilised by sperm from the late male northern white rhinos. This is done ‘in hopes that surrogate rhinos from another subspecies can carry the northern white back from the brink’

Clynn - Did Ed eat a good breakfast after the 'C'?  In any case, hope he rested today. :)

Tsk - Looks like we can all say we have a close friendship with the person who does our hair! ;D :)

Oldguy - Interesting reading about the brother and sister act - good story!!!

LisaG - Congrats on the upcoming birth of your  Granddaughter!!! :-*

Phyl - Hubby is enjoying restoring the Delorean - many times he is challenged, but being challenged is up his alley - loves everything about restoration!  I just have to say it feels like sitting on the road, as the seating is very low to the ground. ::)

Kb - Lol!!  Like the posting about complaining of a hot summer!   Good story of the white rhinos - although it is scary how rare they are - I really hope they save the species - thank you for the story - prayers for all the best.

Phyl, wonder where HM is...close by I bet! So sweet that your Bluebirds paid you a visit! Hope they return and stake Box #1 for their next family! We have 10 right now, high 31. Starting Saturday we have the 40's through the 15th!  I bet Bella will want to go to Target today, we haven't been for quite a while! Love the morning pic! Very good report on Maggie! You take very good care of her!

Lani, sweet dog noses  peeking from under the warm blanket! I feel confident that Ed is fine, his Dr. is noted as the best in Iowa and said all was well, come back in 3 years. Do you have snow on the ground or had it already melted?

kb, stunning picture of the white rhino, hope they can save the species...

E4E, Ed was very hungry when we got home yesterday! He just wanted some toast though, that nasty stuff you have to drink still had his stomach a bit upset. I fixed him a burrito for lunch, he chowed it down!

Lisa, you will go crazy with things for little girls, I speak from experience! I am working on Bella's birthday present, an American Girl doll. I got it on eBay, it looks brand new! These are the expensive dolls you can get to match the girl's hair, eyes and skin color. See if you think it looks like Bella! I have been gathering clothes and things. Target and Walmart both have a copycat doll, so all of the clothes and accessories fit. I have a backpack for her that the doll and some clothes, etc fit in, and am now waiting on the backpack for the doll.  It's such fun!

CLYNN  Boy you are a great shopper!!!  But sounds like you have so much fun tho getting Bella's b-day gifts together.  Doll does look like her  LOL  I would love that view that Nirit Cohen has.

The forum is a bit strange today, when I clicked on new post I ended up on page 400.
I logged off and then back on, trying to see if that would solve the issue, but it didn't.  ???
Logging off and on seems to take a bit of time too. I usually just stay logged in, but very strange morning in the forum.

Eagles, I hope Kris is doing well today.  :)

Tsk, We are planning to work with our insurance company to help with the cost of our repair. We do not have $10,000 which is what the grout/tile contractor submitted and that does not cover the cost of repairing carpet in closet or the tiles. There's a lot of hoops we have to go through to get their assistance with cost. Another plumber is coming next Wednesday, and then follow up with a Residential Leak Detection service. I guess we're suppose to have a plumber do the work first, but, if they are unsure where the leak is, the insurance company will not cover. This is as bad as working with Anthem Blue Cross and Medicare.  :-\ ... What a sweet story about Lulu and Tim. She just wants to be sure to mark her territory again after he leaves. LOL! I use to have a cat in Kansas that did that. I had three boxes for my little herd. Neiman would mark all three boxes and leave very satisfied.

Clynn, the doll looks just like Miss Bella! Can you find matching clothes for Bella? She will be over the moon with joy!! ... I would love that view from my kitchen window. So peaceful, Mike and I would spend hours sitting out there.... great capture of Decorah eagles by SMB. I still think Dude is a silly name for such a splendid eagle.

Phyl, nice to see your Bluebird.

Lovely Nirit Cohen  photo.  "Tks for sharing Decorah Eagles - Sue Bruhling, awesome photo by  Steven Smith .

Tsk very pretty AM greeting; Maggie is a tough little kitty.  Right now she's hungry and I keep her like that in the AM so she'll scarf down her meds w/o fuss.
Remember, cats are fastidious and love a clean and sweet smelling litter box.  She's just making sure Tim is keeping it up.
We have a CatGenie by Pernovations---25 yrs  now.

KB Lulu is just being  a cat---they love all things to be clean/tidy. A diry litter box means kitty won't use it and will pester human until it's clean  and then use it if they need.  Re: the CatGenie, parents of really small dogs will use  this for them and avoid the going outside 'thing'.   Gee. Your temps Brrrr!

Lisa nice warming AM greeting; you know your granddaughter -to-be,  will shine as her daddy's pride and joy.  :-*  I can hear it now, " Oh Daddy...! "   :) :-*
Yep! A lotta fun coming up.  ;D
On Decorah nest---at some point I shall gain more confidance in ID-ing everything.  So, I'm playing it safe. I know it'd help if I watched the nest for more than10minutes---LOL the novel calls me all the time.   :)

Eagles wonderful AM greeting; very nice temps for you; If Jim ever wins the Tenn Lottery or Publisher's Clearing House---I'm bolting for the desert---I have over 20 yrs. of sweating to catch up on!    ;)  LOL   He can go wherever he chooses---prob  Baton Rouge,. LA where  sis Susan and lil bro Danny live.  I love them to pieces. But---

Lani tks for Royal Albatross report/photos. All looks well; and for thnking of Magpie. Luv the squirrel, too. 

Oldguy pretty AM greeting to welcome February.  The ice storm is approaching and I'm not looking foreward to power outtages and rolling blackouts.


I have no compliants on forum issues. But,  I'm constantly logged in and only refresh screen when posting.

Jim ordered our King Cake. He has yet to set up our Shingles vacc. Not gonna be easy to fit in amoungst the doc appts. Esp if the 2nd in series is a booger to recover from.

I think dinner will be broccolli/swiss cheese stuffed chicken breast with some vegatable fried rice on side. Green salad and vino. Maybe a blueberry cobbler too.
Dont have Half/half though. Nah! RediWhipp will suffice

Hello Beakers! 

Bella and I went to Dollar Tree (she loves that store...) and Walmart because they have the grape cold medicine. That is what she told me! She does have a little bit of a cold and Erin asked if I could pick up some cold medicine for her. She wasn't quite herself for part of the day, and she fell asleep on the way home from the store... She worked on a craft, and then we straightened up all the Barbie stuff (well, she mainly played with the Barbies while I worked on the stuff...).

kb, I hate to see that happen at any nest... Beautiful Lynx!

Lisa, you can tell sho is who in Decorah just by the sound of then talking? Wow! You are good!

Phyl, love your little toilet paper holder... ;D ;D ;D  If I won the lottery I would head for Oregon! RediWhip is a good substitute for half & half!  I need to make my appt for the shingles vaccine, just have not heard good things...but It sounds no way as bad as getting the shingles! So I guess I will!

Lani, so in the second Albatross pic, Mom and Dad are both there, and baby is hidden? So sweet! They are so pure white! I am not going to call HD Dude either!  ;D ;D

tsk, sounds like Lulu really is an inspector cat, she wants to make sure Tim cleans the litter box correctly!

Facebook popped up some memory pictures from 8 years ago:

Looks like Our Babies spent their first night alone in the nest at SWF last night ❤ ❤ ❤
Mom & Dad were above them in the attic all night long ❤
We knew it was coming, and now just pray they are left alone by the Owls 🙏🙏🙏
Dad finally brought in a fish around 11:00 AM (ET), and Mom feed them both ❤

He did bring another one, but right now the Babies look too hot to eat, and trying to get whatever shade they can from Mom 🙁  https://dickpritchettrealestate.com/southwest-florida.../

A heartbreaking story with a good ending....I'll spare you all the details...Deputies were chasing a stolen vehicle when the humans threw this pup out on to the freeway which was then struck by another vehicle...The next morning they went to the area after reviewing video and found this less than 1 year old pup in the snow..with a broken leg and abrasions but otherwise going to do okay...one of the members of this troop will foster it....Ramsey County.

LISA   For the record I had no problems today with the Forum...You can tell which bird it which by their vocals?  HM has that very thick beak which I go by when you can see them.

Lulu fetches like a dog.  3 times she brought the ball back to my feet  LOLOL  Never had a cat who enjoyed playing as much as this one.

KB  Keep us posted on that.  I only rely on the FB posts.  Boy I wouldn't have read that article if you hadn't said it had a good ending.  How awful.  Glad it will be fostered and I bet lots of folks will want to adopt it being on the news and all.

CLYNN  Tim calls it the Dollar and a Quarter store  LOL   Love that braid in Bella's hair.  Does she get to buy something at $1.25 Store?  Sorry she was not feeling herself today.  What she up to in that last pic?  You wouldn't want to get Shingles - Just ask Eagles hubby.  It is super painful.  I remember those pics out your back door  ;) ;)

Kb - I am glad the pup story had a good ending.

Clynn - Hope Bella feels better soon!  Yes….I must be spending too much time watching the eagles, huh?  ;D. Snow pics are beautiful.  Awww, the  SWFL kiddos are getting big.

Clynn, adorable pic of Ed and Bella  ;D! I hope Bella feels better tomorrow, though she looked wonderful today.... beautiful snow pics and SWFL babies.

Tsk, Lulu loves to play fetch.  :-* Does she try to steal Tim's socks? I had a cat that loved to get everyone's socks after I folded them and put in a basket, take it to their room or put it on their bed. Samantha loved to drag my panty hose down the stairs to me too.  :-[ ... looks like Lulu is keeping you both on your toes and is full of surprises.  ;D

Good night!

Hi Oldguy, Tig, Puff, Baz, & all  :) 

Everyone have a good evening.

What's a walleye ?   Spoken like a salt water, coastal fish eater. 
You need to expand taste buds to fresh water, Great Lakes fishing.  Yummy when fresh, for sure.

I see that tig beat me to the walleye reply.

You just have to know your fish areas.  Walleye and smelts, Great Lakes.  I grew up fishing Rainbow Trout at 3 yrs old in Colorado.  Uuups forgot about Lake perch.  How about fresh from the north salmon or crab, Alaska.  Cool water has to be the secret with these.  Mahi from the islands.  Drawing a blank on the Caribbean.  Someone help me?

Fresh from the source is the secret.  Darn I've been lucky.  Just recalled a fav - not caught/fished by me - just had my mother-in-law's Italian Christmas fish salad.  OD'd on that.

Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink, bbgolden and Nrstooge


Hope everyone had a good night's rest...I took some snaps of the cardinals  going  'nuts' in the fridged weather. Will post when I upload to Pinterest

Tsk Jell-O w/ a big rosette of RediWhipp. From time to time I give Maggie a rosette of the stuff in a saucer as a treat---her fave is Bryer's lactose free vanilla
Mike would play doggie fetch. He started it one afternoon, I was upstairs in the hall and he trotted up witha tinkle ball in his muth. Dropped it at my feet. I kicked it down the hall and he just sat there. So I kicked it down stairs and he bolted after it; trotted back up with it in his mouth---I'd kick it back down and he'd trot back up with it. Some days this went on for hours. One afternoon I was at Petsmart in Brentwood ---didn't like the kitty toys and went over to the doggie aisle and found a 'squeaky' Tweety Bird (the cartoon) he loved it! And went through3 of them. That toy would squeak with every step it bounced on---Mike you're so missed by us all.

Lisa  let's hope our post count remains the same after all's moved and set back up.

Clynn nice Bella photos; too bad about her cold.  :(   Nice back yard; luv the photos of E21 and 22

Lani  thanks for Royal update; Nor am I gonna call 'HD'  'Dude'   ::)

Kb what a tender and infurating  dog story

Eagles your GN greeting reminds me of those paint on blk velvet pictures

Hi Tig Wow! a 6-lb fish. Good Show

Phyl, beautiful sunrise pictures...another day begins for the Flyway and the GSB Cliffs... 6 more weeks of winter, that's not very long!! The Norths, there they are, sweet couple! Great vintage Valentine cards! 19 here, high 25 today.

Lani, back when Ed and were first married, our cat Pippers would somehow manage to get socks out of Ed's drawer (which was only opened an inch or two), they were folded inside each other to make kind of a ball. He would take them and pile them up like a pyramid under the kitchen table...

tsk, isn't it funny how cats have their own personalities, each one so different! Just like kids! Max and Emma were from the same litter but their personalities were a lot different.

E4E, Kris's shingles experience is exactly what will make me go get the shots! I remember how debilitating it was for him! Is he still having any lingering issues?

kb, I see that confrontation often at my feeders, both are fierce and don't like each other at all!

22 heading to 31  Sunny   ;D

LISA  Thanks for the tips on the vocals.

EAGLES  Walleye is a very popular fish caught in the Great Lakes.  Very mild and thin filets.  That's right - Oldguy's Mom with shingles.  I've known many others as well.  Not fun and very painful esp if it affects facial nerve.

LANI  Love the stories of your previous very busy cats. They are all so particular in their habits.  Lulu is very much in a routine here.  I"m getting a lot of exercise retrieving balls from under the computer desk, sofas etc. ::)

PHYL  Cute vintage Valentine cards. :)   Enjoyed your Mike story  ;D GSB view - Chilly    Yes we are in for 6 more weeks of winter..

KB   Love that AM pic of cardinal and jay

CLYNN   Pippers   ;D

Tig - Thanks for 'walleye' - wow 6 lbs was a big fish!

Puff - Yes, I guess I do! ;D   I bet your MIL's Italian Christmas fish salad was a real treat! :)

Phyl - Pretty vintage card & vintage pic this morning.  Great reading of elephants.  Beautiful Mississippi River Flyway pic.

Kb - Beautiful pic this morning.  Hopefully just 6 more weeks for you!

Clynn - Cute newborn porcupines - love the pic!  Beautiful sky at Decorah hatchery this morning!

Hi LisaG, Lori, Tsk, Oldguy  :)

Everyone have a nice day.

Not a boast, just a comparison. 6 pounds is a good size for walleye. The state record is over 17 lbs. I once also caught a 9 pound Northern Pike, which is a good size for that species. And then a 2.5 pound crappie. I was so excited... thought sure it was a record. Um. No. The MN record for black crappie is 5 pounds, white crappie 3 lbs. 15 ounces. BTW... Walleye is the MN state fish. I prefer large mouth bass. The state record is 8 lb. 12 oz. My Mom once caught a 6 pounder!

Tig, WOW a six-pounder!!  8)

Clynn, Pippers!  ;D Cats are a mystery! .... awww love the Porcupine family pic and stunning early morning pic of Decorah.  :-*

Tsk, Norman and Milo don't like toys, any kind of toy. They would rather have the real thing (bird, mice). I throw empty tp rolls on the floor for Norman, just to keep his spirits up. LOL! .... Oh, they do like to eat the Christmas ribbons on gifts.  :-\

Lisa, I haven't talked to Erin today, but I am assuming that Bella's cold is just a cold...it wasn't very bad yesterday. I have been to Sam's  today and got my usual supplies (except for milk), then to Target to pick up some things I ordered for Bella's Birthday, and of course I had to shop around... (it's required for me, I do love to shop!) Then to Costco to get Ed's milk, then to Carters/OshKosh B'gosh store to pick up another order. I have taken a little nap, I was tired!

One more day of really cold and then it will be 44 on Saturday!

Lani, love your morning pic! Bluebird, Cardinal and Finches...lovely! Snow sharks!  ;D ;D ;D

tsk, I talked to Karen today, she is going to get the epidural if Medicare approves it.  Her Dr. told her they would follow it up with a second one. I don't know if she heard them right on that! She told me to let you know.

oldguy, great Only in America!

We use Staten Island Chuck (aka Charles G. Hogg) for our Rodentia prognostication.
He's more accurate supposedly and has predicted correctly 80% of the time from 1981 - 2022.   
This year he's calling for an Early Spring (https://patch.com/new-york/new-york-city/staten-island-chuck-makes-groundhog-day-2023-forecast-how-watch) around here which we can easily believe, see links below.   :o

Hi Tsk - I bet Lulu is not interested in going outside these days!  6 more weeks of winter.

Tig - Love the fishing stories!! The fact that your Mom caught a 6 lb Bass is not far from the record - amazing!  Enjoy your reading - sounds like a great one!

Oldguy - Loved the story of lady getting her first kitty!!!

Lani - Awe thank you so much  :-*    That is so funny how Milo & Norman prefer other things than toys to play with! ;D

LisaG - I wish you and some others didn't have 6 more weeks of winter to look forward to. :o ::)   I wish you all an early Spring!

Kb - Yes, Spring is just the thing you need right now.

Puff -  What is "Bluegill for IL"??  I do not get it, but the message was for Tig. . . .

Clynn - Hope Bella feels better soon - and I am sure she will!! ;D  Thanks for SWFL.   Thank you for asking about Kris, but I know some folks are probably tired of hearing about it, so I don't speak about it much here anymore.  He has chronic pain every day, but he keeps carrying on and hoping one of these days that the nerve pain on his face, head & around his eye eases up.   On a lighter note - I bet you enjoyed shopping and I don't blame you for taking a much needed nap! ;D

BL - Wow - record breaking warmth in Jan.  Thank you for the stats.

We're going to get a little January payback for 48 hrs with a quick hitting very cold/windy Polar vortex here in the NE.

We're forecast to bottom out at about -14° F RealFeel @ 2 am Saturday 02/04/23 -
No sweat or chill for Pip & I, we can and have done that in a snow cave without a mummy bag and just the well prepared winter weather clothing on our backs.  8)

Some in the NE could see some serious cold temp records fall however.

That -100° F temperature (Apparent Temperature) on the map below would be Mt. Washington, NH.
I haven't seen "Apparent Temperature (°F) beyond display range" very often on the NDFD.  :o

My SIL in Montpelier VT forecast to be -42° said she will just be chilling out with all the critters tomorrow night listening to the Grateful Dead by the wood stove.  8)

Hi Beakers!  :)

Yikes! I have 23 pages of posts to read to catch up in The Beak!!  LOL, that will take me some time to do.  I guess I will start with reading the most recent posts - from yesterday and today - and go from there.  :)

Meanwhile, just a quick post for now to say hello to everyone!  :D  I've been busy doing "stuff."  Got my federal and state taxes e-filed yesterday. Ugh... taxes  ::)  But it's done. Whew!  I've been keeping a close eye on the wild birds around my place, as usual. Today, a large flock of Robins descended upon the holly bushes and had a big ol' red berry feast! They were pretty funny to watch, and quite inventive in how they got to some of the berries!! I wondered how many times they got pricked by the sticker points on the leaves! A small flock of Cedar Waxwings flew in right behind the Robins, and The Great Red Berry-Eating Race was on! A race to see who could grab and eat the holly berries first. LOL, even a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, who hangs out in the Live Oak tree surrounded by those holly bushes with the red berries, hopped down into the fray a couple of times.  That was pretty funny to see.  And Rocky the Squirrel decided to unearth a couple of his acorns in his cache right under those bushes to eat an acorn - right in the middle of that frantic Robin and Waxwing wingding!!  Maybe he was afraid they would eat his acorns if he didn't eat them first! LOLOL! I had left a whole almond in the shell on the curb under that tree for him since it was cold and rainy off and on today, and I saw he got that, too.  But he carried it off, instead of eating it there.  A good time was had by all.  ;) :D :-*

Take care, (((Beakers))). I hope all are safe and warm. SED.

{{{Hugs Eagles}}} it's wonderful that you and Kris can enjoy your busy schedule in spite of the chronic pain he suffers. He's always on our prayer list.

Clynn, prayers for little Miss Bella, but like you I'm sure it's just a cold.  :-*. ... I pray Karen will have the shot and start some type of PT. Happy to hear she's going in that direction and I pray Medicare will approve it. It'll make a big difference for her.... gorgeous pic of Harriet.... Wild Heart Ranch squirrel  ;D

Hi Baz, great to see you! Love your bird and the Great Red Berry-Eating Race story!

Good night!

"Posterior capsulotomy (or YAG laser capsulotomy) is laser surgery you might need sometime after cataract surgery. It helps you see clearly if your vision becomes cloudy again.

When you have cataract surgery, your ophthalmologist removes your eye's cloudy lens. They replace it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The IOL is held in place in the eye’s natural lens capsule. Weeks, months or years later, this capsule can become cloudy or wrinkled, causing blurry vision. This is called a posterior capsule opacification (PCO). It’s also sometimes called a "secondary cataract" or "scar tissue." With posterior capsulotomy, a laser is used to make an opening in the cloudy capsule. This allows light to pass through again for clear vision."

This is what I had done yesterday and so far it seems to have fixed my sight problems. I had never heard of it before but I was told it happens to over 50% of cataract surgeries.

I made my granddaughter matching outfits for her and her American Girl doll.

Scary business for Claire and her troop.  Hope she gets some additional hints about all the signs, preventions, and treatments.  Although she was diligent and effective, being scared would be an understatement.

E4E Re the "bluegill". That was a response to KB's mention that the walleye is the state fish of Minnesota.  I wish IL had something better to brag about.  Not too long ago IL voted in the bluegill.  It's not a dynamic selection:  Small, about 1 mouthful per bite, hang out in lagoons.  I don't get it.  A big beautiful Lake Michigan full of perch, bass, trout. . .but a bluegill gets the vote?

Phyl, eagle couples sleeping together all over the country! I would have named her Jill...  -1 right now, high today 17. Can't wait for tomorrow, high 44! Hummingbird nests are so very tiny and then Mom puts her long pointed beak in there to feed...amazing! Your breakfast toast and jam looks good!

baz, good to see you! Love hearing of the action on your holly bush! Hope Lil' Punkin is doing well, is she still in the Trial?

blschue, good luck on the second cataract surgery, I had never heard of that!

Lani, sweet goodnight, a girl and her cat! Imagine if that was Claire...

oldguy, OMG, Claire and all of her cats sick! She must have been very worried...that woud be a full time jopb taking care of all of them. So glad they are over it!

BL, oh my gosh, that video of the guy at the Mt. Washington Observatory! Yes, keep your cheeks inside!  ;D ;D

E4E, I hate that Kris is still having pain from the shingles... I hope it diminishes in time...I forgot to mention that I got my first Shingrix shot yesterday. 2nd one sometime in the next 6 months or so.

SWFL Eagles - Katie Bonner - Can we just have a baby eagle foot appreciation post? 😄 🤣  Look how big their feet are compared to their floppy little bodies ❤️  I can't take the cuteness.

BAZI   Good to see you and have that wonderful description of the berry bonanza  ;D

BISCHUE   I never heard of that before about cataract surgery.  Thanks for the info.  How cool was that  - the matching outfits and cute ones at that.  ;D  Bet Grandma had a fun time making them as well.

A bit of an update on the puppy thrown onto the highway.
They have named him Taho....he's a Johnson bulldog.
Although this article isn't updated like another, 20,000 dollars has been raised to take care of the puppy.
A drone was used to find him and they consider themselves lucky as he was laying very low in the snow 50 yards from where he was thrown. A slice of pizza was used to keep him calm. They believe he survived the cold temps at night because of the snow surrounding him.
The stolen car was pitted and 2 females are in custody, passengers in the vehicle, and 2 males fled on foot.
Lucky dog....
(https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/ducklings.jpeg)
reminds me of spring!

Morning all.
It's 12 below right now and Ollie has a toe nail clip appt at his vets....yuk...will make him wear his coat even with the car warmed up in advance...
The next time he needs this done, 8 weeks, it will be spring..

Blschue - Wishing all the best for you with the eye procedure you had earlier this week. {Blschue}   Like the darling pics of your Granddaughter & Doll's matching outfits!!  You are so talented!! ;D

Puff - Interesting about the fish - thanks!! ;D

Phyl - Like your yummy morning pic!  Amazing little hummer nest  :)   Nice pic at Sauces-Channel Islands  :)

Clynn - Hope your arm doesn't feel too sore today - the 2nd shot is usually given between 2 - 6 months after the 1st shot, but I'm sure your Pharmacist or Doctor explained it to you.  :)    Love the SWFL clown feet!!   Cute LesleytheBirdNerd pic!

Tsk - Hopefully you get to stay in and be warm!  Glad Lulu has no interest in going outdoors.  ;D

LisaG - That's right; I had forgotten that you received your 1st Shingles shot & your Flu shot at the same time back in Sept!

Kb - Thank you for the udate on the Pup and so happy he is well taken care of now.   Love the sweet baby ducks - such a cute pic.   Good luck for you & Ollie at his nail clipping appt.!

Eagles, I've been busy during work around the home before busy part starts in March-May. Mike is doing well. He leaves for a four day stay in Gila Bend next week. They have their annual safety and environment visitation and seminar starting Monday. He has to do three hour online safety checks every month.

Kb, great update on Taho! Love the baby goslings.  :-*

Lisa, love your Decorah Eagle thread pics, the one with the beautiful lone male cardinal is gorgeous!

Clynn, I hope all is well after your shot  :) ... love the SWFL eaglet pics, tons of cuteness for sure! Interesting about Lesley's Blue jays and almonds.

Phyl, I can see a little of one of the eggs. Sweet  :)

Blschue, Thanks for sharing about the laser surgery. I've never heard of it.... I pray the second cataract surgery will help, prayers for healing and success. Love the matching outfits you created for your granddaughter and her doll. Perfect!  ;D

Royal Albatross - 2/3 20:37 - A warm day & the #RoyalCam chick is getting too big for constant brooding. 
SP can also retain body heat better, less dependent on mum for this.  Still relies on L for cover, when it is time to rest.

Yeah!...we didn't die!  ;) ;)...brutal cold and now home but only up to -6....last cold day in a few so am happy that's over....geesh, the parking lot was still mounds of ice. I was surprised, my own "parking lot"...driveway,teehee is all tar for deliveries etc...I wear my tennis shoes and not boots when I think I'm just going in and out of a lot...walked around the car and got Ollie in and out of his kennel very carefully.

BTW, he no longer seems to be able to jump up into the back seat of my Jeep without my lifting his back end....He's in no pain but will have to think of alternatives going forward for getting inside easier.

The new trick of my holding him while their techs clip his nails works beautifully...

Phyl - I agree on both...I gave Ollie cosequin for 2 months following his low back injury this past summer as well as Rimadyl....have had it in the back of my mind to continue "just in case" and as a maintenance dose. Will order it now and do that after noticing his difficulty jumping high today.

I bought a stair thingy which didn't work back then as well, but gave it away after Ollie didn't use it.
But,  a ramp of course will work better.

I have a hard time seeing him as an old man only because my large GSD lived to be 16 1/2  and Ollie's only going to be 8....but I hear ya...he indeed is getting older....Vet always said with his long body he could end up with spinal issues some day.

Oh boy....my front yard/boulevard tree killed by At and T (punctured a hole in my gas line with there running fiber without a camera) a honey locust.
...is coming down on Monday...a contractor called today...I knew it would come down this winter and the weather was prohibitive till next week.
I called her back and told her to protect my arbors (a few feet away), my fence, and gardens...
She understood and said an arborist had already been out here and would call me as I suggested they maybe burlap those arbors?..or whatever and I let her know I would be watching :) :)

Literally prayers and crossing my fingers...those arbors provide privacy from the parking lot across the street from me....for 24 years plus...I wouldn't have bought the house without them.

Using a crane and blocking the street she said.....we shall see.

SWFL Eagles home of Harriet, M15 and little ones E21 & E22

Prayers needed for our sweet Harriet...
please be safe Harriet!! :'(  also see live report from boots on ground wskrsnwings, thank you for the update ((wskrsnwings))💜

SWFL Eagles ~ Where Is Harriet? She Flew Off & Did Not Return! M15 Flies Off At Night 3 Times
https://youtu.be/80EFAKYbqX8 via LadyHawk
Harriet was on the attic in the early afternoon around 14:35pm keeping watch over the E's. She flew off and then she returned around 17:32pm to the outer arch briefly before she flew off heading west & turned north at 17:36pm. M15 was seen in the upper branches. Harriet never returned home for the evening. M15 is seen on the attic looking & waiting for her while he is keeping watch over the E's as it got dark and evening fell upon the nest.

During the night, M15 suddenly flew off the attic branch three times and returned back to the nest tree. It is unknown what caused M15 to fly off. He may have heard or saw something in the area. M15 then returned and remained on the attic guarding the E's overnight. Harriet never returned to the nest tree.

There was a report with photos by a local photographer of Harriet casting out a pellet or what appeared to be some sort of object which looked like fishing line with a sinker on it. There are concerns that she swallowed fishing line with a hook/sinker on it from the catfish that was brought in. It has not been confirmed that this was fishing line. We all hope & pray that Harriet is okay and that she will return safely to the nest. M15 is protecting and providing for the E's.

SWFEC Essec has commented: "We realize our viewers have been wondering where Harriet has been. This usually happens every season where one of the adults are not seen for for a while. Of course we don't know where she might be or why she hasn't been seen at the nest this morning. We all hope there is nothing serious that might keep her from the nest area. But until a downed eagle is spotted there really isn't much anyone can do. Please do not contact CROW, as they are unable to do anything either unless a call comes in that a downed eagle has been spotted. I'm sure locals are keeping their eyes open wherever they can." Thank you for watching!

SWFL Eagles_ M15 Great Provider & Protector 02.03.23 https://youtu.be/7n1daNKd3yQ via wskrsnwings
M15 watched over the E's this morning, doing a great job as he always does. He brought two food items for them (a small unknown food morsel and a roadkill rabbit) and fed them too. M15 made short trips away but returned and watched over the E's and the territory. Harriet has not been seen on cam since yesterday afternoon. But it seems every season, one parent or the other is not seen for a period of time and it causes us more concern than it does them. E21 & E22 are now four weeks old (E21/30 days  E22/28 days). Mama owl was seen feeding her owlets in N2 (nest 2) today also.

This is the woman who threw the dog out...
was charged last year with torturing/shooting a dog in Bloomington in Nov. 2021 and leaving it for dead. It lost it's eye..

Please stop letting these peeps out!....repeatedly.

Lani - Thank you for the kind words on the pics in the DE eagle thread.   :D  Thanks for the Royal update. 

kb - Glad to hear the new holding while nail clipping works.  Prayers for your arbors.  I agree, stop letting these criminals out!

Phyl - Awesome catch of the hummingbird mama.  Same for me...hot coffee and a book or magazine!  I am getting ready to go ready my AARP magazine now.  :)

Lori - Thank you so much for the SWFL update!  I am hoping that H is just taking a day or two for herself. 

tsk - Hope all went well today....HUGS!

LISA   Shingles shot has to be 6 months apart.  Pharmacy would not have given it sooner.

KB  WOW  Thanks for that very positive report on the dog that was thrown.  Glad they at least got 2 females.  I see the pic you posted.  This kid has a real problem - Starts with animals and progresses. More positive news on Ollie and your trip to the vet.  Great that it is all less traumatic by holding him yourself.    Well if they damage the arbors - they replace.  I don't think you will have a problem tho.

LANI  Love the dance party  ;D ;D   Mike still stays really busy. Thanks for the Royal update.

PHYL  Nice pic of the hummer.  Nest is really so tiny.  White kitty and snowman, ;D

LORI   Yikes at SWFL  M15 doing a good job of feeding and protecting.  Love those crocus!

Report on today and will not discuss on a daily basis.  After no improvement from the first injection on Jan 16 and no relief from the 3rd pain killer -Lyrica as prescribed- I got a second injection today going in a little different angle.  Lots of pain to lay prone for this. Pushing up to hands and knees to get off the table.  :P  Plan:  See him again in 3 weeks ( or less) on Feb 27.  Increase Lyrica to max dose 200mg 3 times a day.  Make appt with surgeon which I did and will see him next Wed . This is so I am in the system and ready to go if needed. I will get a feel from him what is likely to happen .

Tsk - the interval between shots on the (Shingrix) shingles vaccine is 2-6 months - as short as 30 days with compromised immune system.  Not recommended to exceed 6 months.  My pharmacy phoned my 9 weeks after first shot to remind me to schedule the 2nd shot.

Thank you for keeping up with Taho. Sadly this woman's release is  a symptom of what is ailing  this world. Ditto Tsk, it all starts with defenseless animals, then human children/elderly and then human adults.
Shame on AT &Tfor your gas line --- I hope they'll pay for repairs and all.

Tsk I'm sorry about your doc visit. Lyrica , there's much it's prescribed for and I hope for you it's the lesser  of reasons  {{{}}}

Lani Glad Mike is staying busy and still working.

The full 'Snow micromoon' rises Feb. 5. Here's how to see it.
By Stephanie Pappas published 1 day ago
The full moon will be quite distant from Earth on Feb. 5, making it a 'micromoon'.

Phyl - Oh my gosh - those teeny baby hummers - so cute!!!! :-*  Glad it sounds like Jim and Maggie are doing fine. :)

kb, have you seen this?  It is this evening from 6-8.
In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, the Lake of the Isles truly stands above the rest. This Minneapolis treasure is beautiful all year round; but in the winter, it quite literally shines. During the annual Luminary Loppet, Minneapolis and its prized lake shine to the tune of 1,200 glowing luminaries. In a town that sees over 50 inches of snowfall each year, Minnesotans embrace the season with an exuberance and joy that's truly heartwarming. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/bucket-list/winter-wonderlands-us/

Clynn - yes, in that I know about it well...they have miles of cross country skiing and lit the lake as well....other events. It's beautiful and spectacular.

When it first started out really years ago now, Scott and I intended to go....but, we didn't.
Now it's so popular it's not easy to find a parking spot, I mean it's impossible...it's days long as well.
Many years it was too cold as well.
They say around 50 inches of snow per year....hahaha....we've already had way more than 50 this year! and it's not over.
Wish we had gone together...shoulda, coulda, woulda.

I got really nothing this am....have been puzzling with the most frustrating puzzle evah!...have only abut 150 pieces of the 1000 left and I'm determined to finish it to recover my dining room table back.

I also now see 2 red tails on the Tower's perch...oh dear...spring is getting close for these guys....and more numerous than a decade ago by a long shot. Hear them all spring into summer long, as well as the eagles of course but their juvies are almost obnoxious sounding, LOL
Terrible fuzzy pic but it's the best I can do from inside on a cloudy day and they are much smaller than eagles.

OLDGUY   I was surprised all the cats took the syringe so well.  She has an easy way to hydrate. Lulu is a big water drinker besides what she gets in her wet food.   I think Santi's new bed is a hit!!!

TIG   Good memory .  I too remember the Mills brothers.

CLYNN   Bet that is stunning to see all 1200 luminaries in person.

clynn - I went back to look at the other recipes.  I would not even attempt to try any, cause they would surely be a Pinterest FAIL!  ;D ;D  Those luminaries are really pretty.  I bet that is something to see.

If you open up the events like the luminary evening festival you can see how large around the lake it is and more pics...they also set up "waves"...start times to walk the luminary as there are so many people that go.

Tsk temps warming for you;  Lulu in Caturday mode;  think it's unanimous, so nice if  RRP would band the eaglelets

Clynn awesome display Luminary Loppet, Minneapolis ; more than one way to cut a cake--- to fit in plate better, one could take the top  'ice cream cones'  and 'popsicle ' off and reserve to serve seperately or for who ever wants and cut  as usual. It's likely a 3 or 4 tier as is popular these days ---deoesn't need any special cutting, looks awfully rich.

Lani 'catbee' LOL

Eagles  Nat'l Cat Health Month https://nationaltoday.com/national-cat-health-month/ (https://nationaltoday.com/national-cat-health-month/) Thanks for the reminder

Tig cool memory Mills Bros. My parents had several of their records (LPs) and Ink Spots too.

Oldguy those huge syringes come in handy when one has a pet.
Baraban-TV,  never good idea to put kitty or dog  in dryer as isolation, otherwise LOL

KB thank you for extra info on Luminary Loppet; nice to see the RTHs, at least you have them until The Towers arrive. BTW not that 'fuzzy' ; all the best w/your puzzle, photo of finished ?

This might help warm some peeps up ..
The Observatory on top of Mt. Washington, NH (6,288') broke the record for the coldest Wind Chill ever recorded in the US including AK.   -108.4 ° F
It also tied the summit stations ambient air temperature record @ -47.1 ° F
The peak wind gust for this event was 127 mph. 

MWOBS is staffed 24/7/365 and the person on duty goes outside every hour to take physical weather readings.    :o  8)

Quote from: MWOBS

The meteorologist heads to the designated spot for measuring ambient air temperature, turns his headlamp on, and spins the sling psychrometer, a low-tech instrument that’s reliable in a variety of extreme conditions. This manual weather observation process has been happening the same way, every hour, since 1932. With side-by-side dry-bulb and wet-bulb thermometers, measurements are used to calculate dew point and relative humidity, the amount of water vapor in the air.

Some screen grabs from their weather dashboard, I added some notations to the images:

Inver Grove Heights Police Dept:

We received a call from a concerned citizen regarding a hawk that appeared to be injured in the roadway on Bester Ave. near Blaine Ave.
Officer Meade arrived and located the hawk. It did not appear to be thrilled with her presence (see the evil side-eye pic).
The hawk was carefully captured and transported to the The Raptor Center.

Phyl - yes, I'll post a pic of my puzzle when done.....I'm now not thinking it will be done this weekend though. I took a nap!

T40, great cat videos, love the Devil in Disguise! And the cat giving treats to the dog!

BL, OMG, -108 degrees? Could anyone survive in that?  I remember one time when we lived in Duluth MN the temp was -28, the wild chill was -87. But I was in High School, I didn't care...  ::)  It is now 50 here, the forecast was for 45 this morning. Feels like spring... I read that NH will be in the 30s tomorrow. Drastic change!

Phyl, Hello Bob, it's Caturday! Yes, those big syringes (I had them for giving the kids cold medicine or tylenol) are handy to give liquid to cats. I was able to give pills to my siamese but not Harley or Honey!! I have dissolved a pill in water and given with the syringe. Eventually they are on to that too!!

tsk, love the pictures of Lulu, what a sweet kitty!

kb, beautiful hawk, so glad he was saved...

…Long long time ago…
At 12:55am, Central Time, Feb.3, 1959, the plane departed, It was 61 years ago today. (yesterday)
The Winter Dance Party tour played at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, IA on the night of Feb. 2, 1959. The show featured The Big Bopper (JP Richardson), Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and Dion.
The tour was having its problems. One of them was the distance between venues and the conditions prevalent aboard the poorly equipped tour buses adversely affected the performers. The heat on the bus had stopped working and many of the people on the bus had got sick. Frustrated by the conditions, Holly decided to charter a plane when they stopped for their performance in the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, to reach their next venue in Moorhead, Minnesota. Carroll Anderson, owner of the Surf Ballroom, chartered the plane from the Dwyer Flying Service to fly them to Fargo ND.
 
Richardson, who was affected by the flu, swapped places with Buddy Holly's bass player Waylon Jennings. Ritchie Valens, who had once had a fear of flying, asked Buddy Holly's guitarist Tommy Allsup for his seat on the plane. Allsup and Valens decided to toss a coin to decide. Bob Hale, a DJ with KRIB-AM, who was working the concert that night and flipped the coin in the ballroom's sidestage room shortly before the musicians departed for the airport. Valens won the coin toss for the seat on the flight.

Dion DiMucci (of Dion and the Belmonts fame) had been approached to join the flight, although it is unclear exactly when he was asked. Dion decided that since the $36 fare (equivalent to US $291.20 in 2018) equaled the monthly rent his parents paid for his childhood apartment, he could not justify the indulgence.

The chartered plane sat three passengers and the pilot. When Holly learned that Jennings was not going to fly, he said in jest, "Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up." Jennings responded, "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes," a humorous but ill-fated response that haunted Jennings for the rest of his life.

When the show ended, Carroll Anderson drove Holly, Valens, and Richardson to the airport. The plane departed from the ramp and taxied to then-Runway 17 at around 12:55 a.m. Central Time on Tuesday, February 3. The weather report indicated light snow with a ceiling of 3,000 feet (910 m) MSL and winds from 20 to 30 mph (32 to 48 km/h). Though there were indications of deteriorating weather along the route, the weather briefings Peterson received failed to relay the information.

Just after takeoff, Peterson became disoriented due to the unfamiliar way the aircraft's attitude indicator depicted pitch, combined with an inability to find a point of visual reference on a starless night with no visible lights on the ground and the inability to detect the horizon. He lost control of the plane. The plane hit the ground and the aircraft cartwheeled across a cornfield belonging to Albert Juhl. The plane was at a slight downward angle and banked heavily to the right when it struck the ground at around 170 mph (270 km/h). The plane appears to have crumpled and then skidded another 570 feet (170 m) across the frozen landscape before the broken wreckage came to rest against a wire fence at the edge of Juhl's property.
The plane wasn't reported missing until the next morning.

There were no survivors.

To many, it was the day the music died. At least that is what the song says. In reality, the music they had made has lived on. We all just wonder about the music they would have made had they survived.

HAPPY CATURDAY!!!   :)


Herrrrrre's Etta!  ;D   This picture was taken last Saturday, while she was visiting at my Littlest Greatniece's house in Virginia.  Etta and her mom (who is my sister, and grandmother to my Littlest Greatniece) are both back in their home in NC now.  :) :-*

(https://raptorresource.org/raptorresource/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2781.0;attach=577224;image)


Clynn, yes, my Littlest Greatniece is still in the trial, and doing well. She, and her mom, and my sister, were all in Boston 2 weeks ago for 5 days for assessments and such related to the trial. I haven't had enough conversation with my sister since then to get a report or any recent details related to that though. Loved your pics of your recent time with Bella!  :D  Glad it's just a cold that she has - though they can be so miserable sometimes. Ugh.


Have a great day, Beakers!  :)

He was so wonderful, nice & cordial - a wonderful memory of meeting him.

Oldguy - Wish you a good weekend although it is a work weekend for you.  Hope you have Monday off!

SWFL Eagle Cam home of Harriet and M15 with little ones E21 & E22

Little ones are doing good this morning.  Dad is doing a great job protecting them and feeding them.  He is doing the best he can... So proud of M15!  Prayers for you sweet Harriet!  Love you sweet girl!💜

M15 calling for Harriet this morning...  :'(

via SWFL this morning...8:02a M flies NE. 8:18a M to the outer branch vocal. Es track him, both vocal. 8:20a M flies S, maybe chasing another bird. 8:22a M in with food, fish, AC. E21 eats, E22 submissive.

SWFL Eagle Cam 2-2-23. Our Beautiful Harriet: Harriet, M15, and the E's on the evening of 2-2-23. https://youtu.be/stO7wWgXdZ0 via adrocat
Harriet left the nest tree at 1736 on 2-2-23 and has not returned.  Cam video covers views of Harriet, M15, and the E's on that date.  M15 roosted in the nest tree, watching over the E's.  M15 made three night flights from the nest tree.  I did not see/hear anything on Cam3 that may have prompted the flights.  As of this time, I have not heard of an update on Harriet. 

Feb 3, 9:02 PM
samour17 (Admin): As we close I would like to share this with all of you. The Pritchetts are aware that Harriet has not been to the nest since Thursday afternoon. CROW has been contacted, but at this time there is nothing they can do. M15 has been protecting the eaglets from an intruder and has provided food. If Harriet doesn’t come back we are not sure what FWC will decide to do. It is up to them, not the Pritchetts. All we can do is wait and see what transpires. CROW has not admitted any injured eagles as of today.  (Post copied from the SWFEC Chatroll archives.)

ViaWGCU PBS and NPR for Southwest FloridaNEWS this morning...
WHERE'S HARRIETT? Mom eagle missing from nest for days; Dad M15 defends, feeds eaglets
The female side of the North Fort Myers breeding pair of Harriett and M15 has not been seen around the Bayshore Road nest for 24 hours, raising a slew of concern, worry and comments from the thousands of online viewers of the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam.
Editor's note: Harriett remained missing Sunday morning. The owners, and a number of followers, of the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam have been making search for days in the area but did not turn up any evidence of the female eagle.

(https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/69ab113/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1121x631+0+0/resize/1760x990!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Faa%2F3d%2Fbd0e81bf4a769068d67d40727345%2Feaglets.JPG)
Sunday dawned with the nest's two eaglets huddled together; their mother remained missing.

The eaglets hatched in a nest off Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers have been without their mother, Harriett, since Thursday. The father, M15, has been taking care of the young eagles in the meantime. Sunday morning, above, the eaglets remained without their mother.
Ginnie Pritchett McSpadden, Southwest Florida Eagle Cam owner and operator, was cautious but concerned about Harriett's behavior.
"This is very unusual activity for our seasoned and dedicated mother eagle," she said in a text late Friday to WGCU. "We don’t have any answers or information to provide at this time, other than the most beneficial thing viewers can do is pray and hope for the best. We have been in touch with CROW (Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife on Sanibel) on potential next steps if an injured Harriet is found. M did an amazing job today defending the nest and the Eaglets. It’s a tough time but we hope for a return."
While Harriett is away, for whatever the reason, the male, M15, has been taking care of the two eaglets born weeks ago, E21 and E22. He has been feeding them and defended the nest from a larger, female eagle who tried to intrude.
The eagles were forced to rebuild after Hurricane Ian wreaked havoc on their nest. "They have worked hard at rebuilding their nest from scratch after Hurricane Ian destroyed it and now they are starting a new family in this freshly built nest made with love," the eagle cam website said.
The web site is a popular stop for many bird and nature lovers with more than 186 million views since it was put in place.
The Bayshore Road site in North Fort Myers where the nest is situated is owned by Dick Pritchett Real Estate, also sponsor of the cameras livestreaming the pair, which was started in 2012.
Harriet was originally paired with another eagle, Ozzie, making the nest their home every year from fall to spring since 2006. Ozzie was injured and died in fall 2015. Harriet and M15 bonded later in the fall of 2015.
Some of those who have been watching the nest have been making suggestions, urging and carrying out searches and the like. McSpadden and other moderators of the web site have asked for calm and caution since the area where the nest is located is quite rural and wooded and laced with likely venomous snakes, alligators and other injury-producing conditions.

For now the site is keeping an eye on M15, E21 and E22 and hoping that Harriett makes a return. Soon.

E22 is looking a bit sluggish but I think this family is just exhausted and Dad hasn't had any sleep at all.  I can't watch this cam anymore today, it's just so sad reminds me of Mom Decorah when Dad disappeared in the snowstorm.  :'( I will be checking on the little ones today though & any updates would be appreciated!  Will catch up with you all later today.

Thought of Webb with his song "Up up and Away"....you know, in my beautiful balloon,  ;) ;) but the one above is perfect imo for a Sunday morning..

2/4 14:44 - Another warm day, with Rangers providing L & the #RoyalCam chick some heat relief.  With a warming climate, nest irrigation is essential.
L's afternoon is meeting (not necessarily greeting) passing visitors, then it is just her & SP.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1621870764583714816

2/5 10:41 - This #RoyalCam swap meet was not so 'neat'.
GLY (DAD) returning for his turn to guard, seems super keen to resume his shift.  This includes shifting L (MOM) off the nest. 
Mind those feet - SP just wants to sleep. 
No long farewell for mum this time.  See you later L.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1622157236847149057

Both parents seem anxious to return to their chick (SP). Their time away from nest to forage is about two - three days.

We made it!....pic below is still the layers of ice on my north/south streets...Luckily my east/west streets have tar in the middle of them
On this north/south street I slipped with left foot twice, but my yaktrax grabbed something and I stood upright....kinda like anti-lock brakes!

This ice won't go anywhere anytime soon, even with a week of warmer/above 32 just barely....it will take weeks of that...not likely in February.
This is what happens when the so called loud mouth environmentalists demand no salt on the roads...an entire winter without walking but gingerly...way to go ;) ;)

Pic doesn't do it justice...how thick and moundy it really is!

KB  Good that you can get out today with Ollie.  41 here now and I have seen a couple dog walkers going by.  I just saw your photo of the roads - boy, that is terrible.  In Wisconsin they use a sand and something combination on the city streets.

LANI  That Royal nest shift was a laugh out loud for me.  They sure have big feet.   Sweet Robin is right  :)

tsk - oh we do to....just a titch.

What people here don't realize is we drop industrial strength salt on thousands and thousands of miles of highways and County roads in Minnesota...a lot.....I have many County roads in my city in fact.

But, I have a rabid group of environmental citizens in my town who frown on any salt/sand combo on residential streets. Neighboring suburbs do better...I don't get their reality for "environmentalism" when above is true (highways and county roads)....makes my neighborhood unsafe to get in and out of a car or walk imo. And makes a bad name for them.

SWFL Eagles ~ E22 Gets A PRIVATE FEEDING From M15 & EATS & EATS & EATS! Full Crop Afterward 💕 2.5.23
https://youtu.be/nUic1BDI9Hs via ladyhawk
M15 has continued to be an amazing Dad and provider for the E's and today he brings in a big fish. He fed E21 first and E22 remained submissive through the feeding. But after E21 had a full crop, E22 got up and slowly made its way around to where Dad was. E22 was hesitant but persistent with hunger calling and was able to snatch a few bites from Dad. Confidence grew and E22 was able to continue to eat without any interference or aggression from E21. M15 even offers up the fish tail to E22 who swallows it down! That would have made Harriet very proud to see that! ♥

M15 continues to give E22 a private feeding until almost all the fish was gone. E22 had a very full crop afterwards - bless M15's heart for taking such good care of the E's during this difficult time. There has been no sign of Harriet since we last saw her on Feb 2nd.  Continued prayers for Harriet and for our entire eagle family M15, E21 & E22. Thank you for watching!

Hi {{Puff}}   I can co-miserate with the hand arithrits. Have a huge cyst at base of each thumb.    >:(     Nice to see you post more often.
Tks for those Memory Lane moments

KbI think you may have mentioned about skiing with Ollieman.  Luv 'Up, up and away'. Wonder why we don't hear Linda  Ronstadt ---now I know.  :( :( :(
Your  street photo, good thing you're wearing your Yaktrax

Clynn at the time my L4-5 discs were injured, I was taking adult ballet classes. I thought the challenge would be and was fun. I did well, too.  Had the coveted 180 d turn out. Sadly I had to stop. I still have my shoes, leotards/tights , a whispy costume, ballet slippers or ballet shoes  and  pointe or toe shoes, I never got to wear--but once. Dancers really do perform on the very tips of the toes. I always wore the classic black leos and  white tights and pink shoes. (the ones with the draw string that's tied into a bow and have an elastic strap accross them right below front of the ankle.) One of these days, with poor balace and all---I'll put  on those toe shoes  and hold on to the kitchen counter and do some barr exercises ( basic foot positions with some  frappes,  demi and grand plies ,corresponding hand positions )  ;D  for the pure fun of it!

I luv your AM greetings esp the the vary last---moments/their memories
Oh my word---look at those tiny baby porcupines.  :) :-*
Hurrah for BBV nest!!

Tsk very pretty AM greeting--in keeping with Valentines.

Lori tks for SWFL, verbal and photo updates. Those eaglets are gonna be huge---grow right into those
clown feet'. Harriet, I truly pray you're safe---do come home, if you can.

Eagles great AM gif today.  In my 9 years here, I've never, ever used that option---"Show unread posts since last visit".  ;D   Besides, I know what I've read and where I've read it LOL Each to their own though.

Lani tks for R. Albatross & chick updates/photo. I hope the SP does well  & is always safe when alone.  :-*

Two things we have in common Phyl

I also have an ugly cyst at the  base of my right thumb. Either a bad nursing technique or an ugly stubborn vein was the case.  Nurse tried getting into a wrinkly stubborn vein.

Second, I also had bad karma taking ballet lessons with my sister-in-law.  Both of us must have been about 35.  But it wasn't caused because of the ballet.  I had been doing quite well.  But I got up early to go to work, reached out to balance myself on the frame of a door, fell flat bang on my face.  There was absolutely nothing graceful with my plie.  :o  What made it all worse is the 4 or 5 teeth knocked off at the gumline, stuck into my bottom lip.  What made it even worser - - - It was like the 19th of December.  This resulted in some very ugly Christmas and New Year's Eve pictures and celebrations.  I never went back to finish my lessons, especially should have so I could learn how to releve on toe first. 

All I wanted then for Christmas was my 5 front teeth.  No, I didn't keep any of the outfit as a souvenir/momento.  ::)

From National Geographic...quite the close up.

Kb, Beautiful close up... glad you and Ollie got your walk in, inspite of the ice. I threw salt in front of our community mailbox last weekend. It was just too dangerous for most of the seniors that get their mail on our street. I got tired of waiting for HOA.

Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink, bbgolden and Nrstooge

Puff I had pulled some muscles working in my yard there in Missouri, ---my hairdresser at the time recommended a chiropractor---the guy injured my lower back .
And that put an end to the ballet classes and alot else. Hope you feel better today.

Eagles Most any movie  Tom Hanks makes is going to be well worth watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

Lani, thinking about Harriet makes me sad too...I so hope she is okay and comes home...

Phyl, thank yiu for sharing your ballerina story, it just wasn't meant to be.

Puff, OMG, what a horrible accident you had!  I can't imagine!

Lori, thanks for the beautiful videos of the SWFL kids and M15! Harriet, come home...

kb, beautiful picture of the eagle and eaglets by NatGeo! Sorry you have a rabid group of environmental citizens in your town.

Phyl, you have Cardinals! I love Cardinals and Blue Jays, they are like ornaments!  28 right now, high 50. Spring-like!

Lisa, I am posting the beautiful picture you captured yesterday of HM & HD! It's perfect!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

24 heading to 43 and sunny  :)

PHYL   Don't recall dance classes being very popular when I was a kid but they are now for small children.  We have an adult program in town called Barre but I think it is more of a general exercise group that uses a barre at some point.  Sounds like that was an enjoyable time for you in adult ballet. A difficult path to follow!   Cute AM " Be Mine"  :)   You got a cardinal pair  :D  Like the one on the post  ;D

PUFF  What a horrible fall you had.  What caused it?  Lots of dental follow-up I'm sure.  :(

EAGLES   What's not to like about "Otto"  Glad you saw it.  ;D

LANI  Again, a great Good Night photo.  :)

CLYNN   Thanks for posting that great pic of HM & HD

Hi Lani - Are you still getting snow?  We had only .18 of rain yesterday and will have a few dry days now.

Clynn - I too, pray for Harriett's return - as others have mentioned, it like Dad Decorah all over again.   Thanks for posting Lisa's pic of HM & HD - beautiful!!   The Valentines candy in abundance!! Lol  ;D

Tsk - Exactly right "what's not to like"?!! ;D   Cute banner!

Puff - Such a terrible fall you took - just so glad it sounds like you healed up nicely.

LisaG - It feels good to shred papers that are not needed and to make room for the new year. ;)

Everyone have a nice day.

clynn - Thanks for posting the pic.  :D  Your pic about Valentine's candy, so true!  I can't find dry food for Bandit and the shelves have a message taped to it saying, due to manufacture shortage pet food is in short supply. There is plenty of dog food, no cat food.

Phyl - Pretty cardinals in your yard.  Cute Valentine figurine.

No stump grinding per the city tig...it's too close to my forsythia and arbors....so, I agree...that would injure them...
This was a subcontractor from the city as the city acknowledged not in their wheelhouse kind of job...like I said, given the circumstances they did a good job...I'll just have a lot of work!!!!! in the spring and the stump will stay.....don't know until spring what I'll do with it.

Clynn adult ballet is mostly for a really fun way to exercise and develop amazing balance. To have a  professional 'meant to be'  in dance, one must start training  between 1 and 17 yrs of age, female/male... make it a way of life. 
Here's a list of all the birds we feed and at one time or another  shelter (no particular order)  Bluebirds (3 pairs), cardinals(5 pairs), blue jays (2 pairs), titmice(2 pairs), house wrens(2 pairs),  Red shouldered, Coopers  and red tailed hawks,  barred owls, barn owls( all 1 pair each), an unkindness of Ravens,  a murder of crows, our state bird , Mockingbird(2 pairs), robins, starlings; the odd  flock of swallows and  pair of blackheaded grosbeak and eagle: Indigo buntings, red bellied woodpecker (2 pair ) Hairy woodpecker (1 pair) and the ever present flock of vultures; and the wandering 'rafters' of wild turkeys.
LOL the Valentine candy aisle.

Puff  Ouch! oral surgery isn't a picnic... hope you're happy with the end result.{{}}

Tsk I never took dance instruction as a teen; there was a lady whose daughter was an underclassman that taught  dance--jazz/ballet privately in their home. She had worked with the famous Pat Swayze  of Hollywood   (mother of Patrick, actor).

KB great tiger this AM, describes you today.   Decribes me in same situation for that matter. So glad they workers did a good job of tree / stump and all. You always do so much. I hope this doesn't negatively impact your shrubbery, too much. Tks for the photos---so much snow.

Lani cute valentine greeting this AM

Oldguy tks for update from Walter Santi relieved to know he's had no damage.  Thanks for the music links. You're slowly warming.

I must have forgotten to post  around noon today  LOL

LANI   Cute AM pic  ;D 

TIG   Day is always good when you can see an eagle  ;)

OLDGUY   Saw that "coworker" the other day.  That  was so funny  Hey thanks for the news about Santi being OK.   So cute the moose and the sprinkler.  Mama is HUGE.

BAZI   I think that number is over 3,000 now.  Just terrible  :'(

KB   Just photograph and make note of all the damage.

PHYL   You get a lot of different birds in your yard.  Lucky you  :)   I do believe Sauces got a new camera.  Very clear now.

LISA   Those are great ideas for KB  Beautiful!  I'd put a pot on the stump that has a something in the arrangement that trails down the stump - ivy?

Took all morning and part of the afternoon to finish the shredding.  With about 20 more pieces of paper the shredder died...Used the old fashion way and scissored them to pieces  LOL Check that off the list.

Kb - How did it go today with the tree removals?  Okay - looking at the picture now.  That will be nice to have more sun later on in the season! ;D

Lani - How was your weather temp today?  Is Mike having to travel out for work this week?

Tig - Sounds like a nice trip to the Y this morning. :)  Awesome to see a BE!

Oldguy - Thanks for all links!  Watched all of twin baby moose and their Mom enjoying water sprinkler - so cute!!!!

LisaG - Like your nice suggestions to Kb with the stump - good pics!

Phyl - Nice Sauces pic and like the Decorah North pic.

Tig - Well, at least your got your shredding done! ;)   Do you think your shredder just needed to cool, or is it Done?

Everyone have a good night.

Clynn, there's no shortage of Valentine's Day candy here either. But, finding brown eggs is difficult.

Phyl, pretty cardinals....

Eagles, we didn't get any snow or rain over our area, but it snowed over Aly's office for an hour. She's just 10 minutes away from home.  ???
Mike's leaving in the morning for Gila Bend. He'll be back on Friday.

Oldguy, that's great news about Walter, family and pets.

Tig, I've only seen an eagle flyover maybe three times in my life. You are so lucky.  ;D

Baz, terrible news.

Kb, Tsk's suggestion is a good one, photograph, take notes and let them know. You'll make the area special, like the rest of your garden.

Tsk, well at least you got most of your shredding done.  Did your shredder just need to cool down? Or is it done.

Lisa, nice ideas for the stump....

Phyl, cute pet shames.... nice DN pics.

Good night!

Sauces Canyon Nest Territory, Santa Cruz Island, California 2023 Season

The 2023 Sauces Canyon nesting pair consists of Male A-40 (Jak) and Female A-48 (Audacity). They have been together on this nest since 2014.
The nest is located at the top of a 40-foot Monterey Cypress tree.

Male: A-40 aka Jak, produced by captive eagles at the San Francisco Zoo and released from the South Hacktower on Santa Cruz Island in 2005.
Female: A-48 aka Audacity, produced by Avian Conservation Center at the San Francisco Zoo and released from the North Hacktower on Santa Cruz Island in 2006.

2023 SEASON
2/3: First egg laid around 13:27.
2/6: Egg accidentally broken around 01:54.💔

 '"We have this great video catch from yesterday, posted on IWS Chat by Nighteagle007....wondering if Audacity accidentally poked a hole in the egg when snapping at a fly on the egg. Neither Nighteagle007 nor I are saying that this is what happened, but it made her wonder...and me too! It gives me more hope for egg #3. Shown several times in the video in SloMo and Super SloMo. Take a look and see what you think.'"

Thin shells, again?
 I'm wondering, 'why' the other eggs laid two years ago were so strong shelled . Then 'suddenly' these last two seasons the shells  were weak.

Phyl, 36 right now, high 42 for today! Prayers for the Sauces nest, they have such a hard time. I hope they have another egg...  Oh, those bad dogs!

Lani, another cute dog nose! I read the first part of your post to E4E and thought to myself, 'I didn't know Aly had moved!' Then I read that she works only 10 minutes away!! Weather is weird...

oldguy, thanks for the videos! Still watching! I found this one on the earthquake in Turkey, lots of Twitter short videos of buildings falling...  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-64541194 all very scary. It is awful.

NEFL - Gabby and V3 made a few nestorations in the early evening.

Haha, that rhymes!
Morning all.

Sheet of ice on composite deck this morning in front...will need the sun to shine today....had intended to walk Ollie...we shall see....heavy clouds at the moment.

ealges4 - I don't want more sun....the tree that came down had a relatively high canopy and was so tall it shaded my roof....so I'm worried how hot it will get inside the house this year.
I have gradually changed my perennial gardens from sun loving to shade loving plants over the last few years....especially as my maple in the center of the garden has gotten so much taller...But that doesn't cover my entire roof with shade..

We here in MN are just starting to think about eggs soon in the DNR nest...new male so we shall see..
Too sad to watch most of the other nests for me...

HI BEAKERS

39 heading to 45  cloudy all day.

KB  Eagles reminded me in her post that I forgot to mention you may need to change some of your plantings as you  will certainly be getting a lot more sun. I forgot what is planted there.  I see reading on that you answered my question.

LANI  We've had that shredder forever so I think it's time was up. :(   Funny dog nose LOL  Has Aly decided yet on Oregon?  Safe travels for MIke.

PHYL   Love the red cup  ;D   So Sauces will not have babies this year.   Oh I see reading on that they have 3 eggs.  Interesting for such an experienced couple.

CLYNN  Great clip from Debbie of the Norths.

a late May pic from last year of area...hosta, lilies of all kinds, iris, geranium, forsythia, roses, hydrangea, and goats beard is what I can see from here....early in the season. And, probably more plants I forgot. ;)

I don't think I'll really be able to tell the difference on my plants till this season...in other words, we shall see.
More concerning to me at this point is how hot will the house get?

Rats. S.I.L. tested positive a couple days after we had dinner with them. We seem fine so far. Time to mask up.  :-X
TSK... our biggest contributor to our shredding bin is our tax receipts from 7 yrs. ago. ... so we never get more than a paper bag full that goes to our credit union drop off annually. No more shredding here after our last machine "died".
Inventory and relocate medicines and supplements, and some house cleaning.... an exciting day on tap. LOL.

Lisa, I hope you were able to find Bandit's fab food.  :)

Tsk, Aly hasn't decided yet. She will have a weekend visit to Medford the first weekend in March. We're sad about it, but happy for her future.

Clynn, LOL! You've been busy and can't keep up with it all.... Aly is considering working in Medford Ore. for a family therapy group, she hasn't moved yet... They were interested in her when Aly was looking for a place to work as an Intern to complete her masters. The Medford Therapist contacted her again this past January and said they have an opening starting March. Aly is very interested. Now, we're just waiting to see what Aly decides. She hasn't announced it to her current place of work and doesn't plan to until she visits Medford possibly the first weekend in March. Right now, she's busy getting state licenses for Arizona, New Mexico and then Oregon.

TIG   Think you need to wait 7 days to test??  Is SIL having symptoms?   Re shredding.  I'm so leery of handing over product to be shredded to strangers... :-\

EAGLES  He already went out and got one - much bigger bin so can empty once a year  LOL

PHYL   Thanks for Amy's blog - Time is getting close.  Love your AM pic  ;D   Enjoyed the piece on "bees knees"  Liked the labeled pic.  Thought the sternum would be farther up.

LISA   Like your AM pic  :)

They should, but slowly...if at all...they are so damaged.

I think there will be a lot of damage to plants this year, whether or not from roof snow fall,  my tree removal, but just from all the combination of snow and ice.

I am concerned about my front yard yew, my backyard juniper, and a 20 foot row of japanese yew in back.
Probably much more...

TIG  Hopefully you will be OK

KB  Be sure and keep your pics.    By the looks of it I think that rose will grow back.

BAZI  Love the "taco" greeting  LOL

CLYNN   And why not - perfect spot for the cat  LOL

Tig do take care---praying for you both. Wait about a week to test. Hoping for 'negative' outcome.

KB roses are 'dormant' now---they did your pruning  for you.  ;)  I cut mine down to trunk---with a chain saw.   Feed them Miracle  Grow and gallons of water.  They go crazy with growth.

Clynn Harley is so cute in 'his new bed'.  We have a Queen size bed and it belongs to Maggie.  ;D

Baz - Lol!  The taco outfit is darling!

Lani - Love the CUTE bicycle gif!!  I read what you said to Clynn;  sounds like Aly is doing all she can to make the right choice - good for her!  'thumbs up'!

Tsk - Yaay - new shredder! ;D    We have a small one, so I just put 2 sheets in at a time and so far so good!

Kb - I think your broken rose bushes will be ok  :) 

Clynn - That is such a cute pic of your kitty wanting the bassinet that is meant for Bella!! So cute - Lol!! ;D.

kb, I wonder how many hospitals allow pets, I think it is a wonderful idea and would surely help the patients!

Lani, what a cute pile of little Dalmatian puppies!

Phyl, love the kitty and heart pic! The Norths, love them! Saving the articles for later, after Bella is gone. Publix is so good to Jim! 27 now, high 50 today! Beautiful sunrise, the city coming to life...the birds will be there soon...

Lisa, I will tell you, from experience, that you will see so many cute clothes for your Granddaughter! You will not be able to help yourself, believe me.  ::) I have been doing it for five years now...  ;D ;D Jumping Beans has cute and inexpensive clothing (Kohl's), and Garanimals (Walmart) have some cute items. We also have a Carter's/OshKosh B'Gosh here, lots of sales! Ed finds tutu's for her at the thrift stores, she loves them!

HI EVERYONE

28 and heading to 45  partly sunny.  Big rains moving in tomorrow AM - Will disrupt rush hour.  Gusty winds 45 - 55 mph tromorrow.

PHYL  Loved those little heart candies.  :)   Sweet good night kitty under the heart.  Publix is an amazing company to work for!!  Beauty of a sunrise at GSB this AM

KB  Phyl had a good point, they did the pruning for you.  In March I cut them 2/3 down and feed with rose food and water.  The Knock Out roses you can't kill  LOL   Wow  What an amazing hospital to allow the dog.  So sweet.

LANI   Nice Dalmatian painted backround for those pups  ;) ;)

CLYNN  Good saying this AM  :)   Cool chameleon.   What a shot of M15   :o

Morning..

Of course I know those roses will eventually grow back....they are just shrub roses....that's not my point though....to go from 4 foot bushy roses to almost down to the ground.....well, it's not my experience they  look that way again in short order....

for me it's darn frustrating to keep having my property damaged through no fault of my own, nor Mother Nature.
Almost the entire length of my front grass is not grass (their replacement was mostly weeds) and i lost nice paver stones and 5 hosta with the big dig...and now a tree and 4 rose bushes.

 The almost entire length of my northern arbors (9), not my western ones, have been damaged by my neighbors not to mention her creeping charlie.
And so it goes....
To me, it's all a big deal...

Have a great day.

Hi Clynn Nice  AM greetings; 'Whinning..." the eyes are the give away on Chameleon ;  tks for sharing Sue's photo of M-15 and his catch.
Awesome what one can capture when one has time to 'wait'.  SWFL Kid-Os  :-* :-* :-*

Tsk 'Knock Out' is what I have.  Shucks---you reminded me to cut back in March. Not that far off.     
I know I treat mine badly,  w/o TLC---I hate gardening .
Becareful going out tomorrow. I'm staying indoors tomorrow.
Jim's off all day Friday (what's that about Publix?)

Lisa nice knitted heart on a stick. HM/HD  LOL

Eagles hope all goes well @ Doc's

((Kb)) sweet kitten  :-*

Oldguy awwww Penny  :-*       The vid of kitty missing for 3 days/note around neck. Has 'knotched ear'. This is a universal mutilation to signify a feral cat that's be spaded or neutered. A TNR program (Trap, Neutrer, Release) that does the  sterilizations to eventually elimate the unwanted cat population that fosters the feral population with out murderimg them.  This tells animal control  or any one, not to capture or kill---and turn a blind eye. Just 'live and let live'

Lani cute kid you have.  ;D

Saw these and immediately thought of Nrstooge---whip 'em up in no time!

oldguy, thanks for the hug!   ;D ;D

Lisa, ahh, you are hooked on things for little girls! It's no use to tell yourself you can stop... ;D ;D Can't wait for HD & HM to have eggs on N1! It will be so good!

Momo - Yaya and Boo.  Ya! Ya! Ya! and Boooooo!  Kiddo and Bubba.
I haven’t taken a proper photo of these guys for a while. Sometimes I need to take an extended vacation from the camera to let other ideas and mediums materialize. And then I remember how fun it is to take photos of dogs. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing life changing, just a warm thing to look at like a flower or a sunset.

PHYL  love the spool hearts  I had forgotten what the notch meant in the ear.  Thanks for the reminder.  Those are gorgeous socks.  No one ever sees socks tho.

CLYNN  That looks like a pretty hard puzzle to put together.  I like the last pic of her.  What a nice pic of Yaya and Boo  I feel old seeing the next generation of "Beatles"  :o

Good Morning Beakers!

Lani, Erin and Kelsey grew up in OshKosh B'Gosh outfits, along with Carter's and Healthtex (long gone brand...). OshKosh doesn't have all the cute outfits they used to have though, but I find plenty of things there! It is sad leaving the Toddler sizes for Bella, the Girls sizes aren't as cute! I have saved a couple of my favorite outfits too! The Royal chick is looking so good, and so brilliant white!

Lori, I just can't read or hear the details about Harriet either...I just wish she would show up...  Miss you, girl!

Pink, miss you too, wondering how you and your family are doing...

tsk, yes, that 100 pc puzzle was too hard for Bella but I couldn't talk her out of it! It was a CHEAP one Ed picked up at the junk store. It was thin and wouldn't stay together! I had a nice  Richard Scarry Busytown 48 piece one, she didn't want it. I'll try again next week. It is fun trying to show her how to look for pieces that might fit and she was thrilled when she found one!

E4E, Ed does find some good things at the Thrift stores, but he also finds a lot of CRAP. And JUNK. I'll say what did you buy this for? His answer: well, it was only a dollar! He collects a hundred things, I have started telling him 'no more' of this or that!

And the good looking male/sapien sample is ???????

Anyway I was legitimately MIA. Jury duty for a couple days.  Third call to duty, second time for trial.  First case taught the meaning "not guilty until proven." Start out with the law having to prove the guilt.  This time learned to difference between burglary and intent.  Defendent found guilty even though the planned thief was not completed as planned.  Like I said even before - it is an interesting procedure.  I felt really honored when one of the guards escorting me around (differential treatment because of mobility issues) - but the officer thanked me for my service.  Can you believe that honor.  We do live in a great country with some special attention to needs!

Thanks to post from E4E; so sorry to read no new news on Harriet.  Great that 15 is still on duty.  Wonder if he needs or will get extra considerations like Mom D  got.

Other case tidbit:  Started out obviously (?) tending toward guilty.  Evidence proved the difference.  Kudos to the counselors who filed it under the correct charge.

Seasonal note:  I'm always suspicious of anyone who can throw a conversational candy heart in their mouth and not stop to read what it it says.

OK, time to get back into the rut.  But it's a nice rut - missed y'all.

HI EVERYONE

40 degrees all day today.  Pouring most of the day.

LANI   What a sweet pic of the baby Royal  :)  As usual a great good night photo. ;)

CLYNN   Love your saying today  " Attitude is Everything" is another way to say it.  So true.  Have to laugh at Ed.  Sounds like Tim when he goes to the grocery for me  ::) ::)  "But it was on sale and the other wasn't."

PHYL   Cute vintage Mickey.  Not noticing the high winds as much just yet but the gusts are predicted.  Is that a pic of you??  Cutie patootie.   

PUFF   I've never been on a jury.  You learn so much - that is great.  When I was a PT I did have to testify on a case of someone who had fallen at a store entrance - I no longer remember the particulars.

LISA   Love those knitted hearts  :)

Lori - Hope your log-in issue gets resolved - no fun.  Thank you for SWFL info.

Lani - Glad Mike is doing fine and good that he will be home tomorrow. :)   Weather sounds good in your area.   Wow, chick is already 19 days old!

BL - some sunny Feb weather for you  :)

Phyl - Wow - high gusts of wind last night - hope today is a calmer day in your area.   Thank you :)  Who is in your cute vintage pic?

Puff - In 2019, I was chosen as an alternate on a civil trial and it was very interesting - lasted 5 days.  Glad you are done! :)

LisaG - Like your gif this morning! 

Tsk - Hope it is a 'stay in day' with all the rain expected - maybe a puzzle day! ;)

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Tsk, you're getting a lot of rain  :-\ ... maybe a good day to knit prayer shawls or do a puzzle.... Take care  :-*

Puff, I've been selected a few times for jury duty, once Salina, KS, 3 times in Maricopa County, AZ, only had to serve once in Kansas. It was a learning experience back then, but your experience is interesting, and shows the changing times. We haven't been called to serve here in Gila County. Thank goodness they recently built a courthouse here in Payson. Now, we can serve jury duty here, instead of traveling quite a bit of distance to Globe, AZ as they have done for years.

Phyl, thanks for History of Valentines... sweet pic of you in Arizona?

Pink, Ditto what Clynn said, we miss you and pray all is well, but we understand you're a busy PinkEagle.  :-*

Clynn, you and I both remember the sad details of SWFL Ozzie's last season, that hearing about Harriet's being gone is heartbreaking for us. No matter how many years we've watched our eagle families and seen the sad changes of life for them, it doesn't make it any easier.  :'( and then there's Iris   :-\ :-* ... I'll look for the pic of Aly in her sweet OshKosh yellow jumper. They made such cute clothes to last back then. {{{Ed}}} bless our hubbies hearts. LOL! ;D

yep... bounce

I was blessed to serve on a jury years ago, as I was happy to be away from my boss at the time. It was a civil case and I was the foreperson. We found for the plaintiff against the large company from which he was fired. The case was tried over the Christmas holiday and the judge granted long lunch breaks during which we enjoyed all the decorations and fine dining available downtown.

After picking up groceries and maybe our repaired car today, Camper is looking forward to celebrating national pizza day.

EAGLES  Am now sorting a 1,000 piece puzzle.  I'm on my 3rd day of sorting. Pieces are tiny  :P

LANI   Thanks much for the sloth report.  Found it interesting as to how they got the new arrivals.  It's a harsh world for sloths.  I always have a prayer shawl going  LOL and I sit down and puzzle during Jeopardy which we have in the afternoon and every one else has in early evening. Will have my hairdresser come tomorrow to cut my "Covid " hair  LOL  Took me forever but made a batch of blueberry buttermilk cupcakes so we can munch on them.   "but how well you bounce"  So true.

TIG   Interesting courtroom experience.  How long did it take to decide ?

Funny story.  We had to take Lulu to the vet as we cannot cut her nails - we've tried 4 times.  So they had to do a basic exam and they took all her shelter paperwork - Said she was in good health and her weight was 8 lbs  She was 6.8lbs when we got her.  Tim warned the vet initially that she would very fast jump out of the cage so she made sure the doors were closed. So what did she do - calmly laid there and vet picked her up .  No noise from Lulu a completely different cat.  She laid there quietly while the vet cut her nails - No squirming or anything.  Tim could not believe it LOLOL  We have a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde cate  LOL

Ashley was the same way tsk  Sometimes took me 2-3 hours to outplan and outsmart her into the carrier - changed to the other persona once she had the vet with us.  They just have a certainbody scent/aura.

Here's an aside.  In rounding up Ton's closet I now know one of her preciously secret hiding places.  In the closet, behind his long robe, with on of those slotted shoe storage box all the way at the wall.  Box and robe coated with hair.

Our car won't be ready for pick up until some time tomorrow afternoon. We have uncertain plans for midday. Will see how it all plays out.

PUFF   LOL You found a hiding place.  That is so funny. Follow the hair!  ;D

TIG     Long time - Don't think I'd have the patience for deciding a case verdict.  .  I hear deaths are up to 20,000 now from the earthquake.  Such a terrible thing.

Post by: Puff on February 09, 2023, 07:29:59 PM

Jury duty does have some long wait periods.  Some wait all day and end up getting no trial.  If nothing the first day you don't have to come back again.  But you do hear horror tales of a month-long case; those are the ones that end up in the news.  Mine was first questioning and then a long day as things started - followed by yesterday, a very very long day/night.  Not much to talk about because everyone is a stranger.  It helps to take some reading material, some had their ipad.  Grabbed my paper off the drive the first day - second was busy with the trial routines.

But I don't want to give a negative impression, not a complaint.  I look at it more as a learning experience, a new adventure.

Lani - Sad how several sloths have lost their Mamas - and sad that more sloths have passed due to health issues. :( :(   You are right in that over the years, it is so hard when for reasons we don't know that BEs disappear and we never know what happened to them.  We can't help but become attached to the BE Moms & Dads and their little ones - it never gets easier when something happens.

Tig - Sounds like a good experience you had at being selected to serve on a jury - that's good   :)  Enjoy a pizza tonight!   Tig, Hubby & I got covid (only once) back in early July after attending a funeral in church (celebration of Life), and a reception in a 'Hall'.  In 3 days, hubby came down with covid and me a day after him.  But it took about 24 hrs to test positive after the symptoms appeared.  I'm sure it is different for everybody tho!

Tsk - Oh my gosh - that Lulu!!  What a difference - glad she cooperated at the Vet's  ;D ;D   It does take a while to sort a 1000 pc puzzle - enjoy  ;D

Puff - Love hearing of Ashley's special hiding/sleeping place   :)

Pink - I know you are a busy girl!  Just hoping all is good with you & your family. :-*

Karen - Thinking of you.

Puff so that's where you've been. I was juror on a murder trial in Joplin, MO. Think I was in my mid-twenties.
Wish I could forget that.      Found Ashley's hiding place.   Ruts are nice

Lisa nice knitted hearts. Nope. Nothing but blown down tree limbs. So funny --- when the winds got bad the bluebirds dart in the
meal worm feeder and ride it al out.    I lit another candle to St. Francis and St Catherine  for BBkitty, Little One and all the others.

Tsk yesterday's AM greeting said it all about your rain.  LOL Lulu at vet.  Cats and children will make a liar out of a person every time.  ;)
Whoa! 1000 tiny pieces  ---easy to loose.  Muffins sound yummie

Lani good news on Mike.  Your morning post---Life and how well once bounces back.  Bing-go!  ;)

Eagles nice day once it got started. Jim off tomorrow. Why Publix?    Awwww Minnie Mouse
How was your day?

Tig had forgotten about Nat'l Pizza Day.   :(

Post by: Puff on February 10, 2023, 06:00:29 AM

Just occured to me tsk. You must have a system of protecting the pieces from the kitty when you lay them out.

We all know that cats' main joy in life is pushing items to the floor "where they belong".  What about Lulu?  Is she leaving things alone?  All those with cats who work on puzzles must have a "system". 

My non-solution was for sweaters laid out to dry.  They are inherently soft and cuddily.  I would let nature follow its course and then use the tape roller to take off the hair when folding the sweaters before putting them away.  :-\

Deceit day forcast for us today.  Errands planned to make up for missed free time
all week.

thriving with you.

Puff, love that you found Ashley's best hiding place, isn't it amazing how much hair you find! I found a video of crafting with cat hair!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hMGSCLsIgM Years ago I was working a 1000 piece puzzle, I think I was still sorting because there were still a lot of pieces in the box. I had a board to use so I could shove it under the bed when not working on it. The cat thought it was a litter box for his convenience. Enough said.  ::) ::)

Phyl, glad to hear the storm wasn't too bad! So nice that you have a shelter where your bluebirds can be safe! Thanks for Amy's Blog, I hope HD's foot heals! It will soon be time for eggs, he needs to get busy!  ::) ::) Love that pic of you, I have been to the Joshua Tree National Park, a trip I won to Palm Springs years ago! Have been to every state but RI, ME, NH & MA, the Sisters Group is planning a fall trip for this fall or next!  So sorry to hear the Sauces news, didn't she lay 5 or 6 eggs a few years ago, all of them broke...?

E4E, what you said about losing the wildlife we get attached to, so true. But at least we got to know them... and there are many moments of joy!

tsk, love 'follow the hair...'!  Yes, the earthquake news is heartbreaking. They are just now getting help to the part of Syria that is held by the rebel forces because they are sanctioned by a lot of the world... Amazing story of a newborn saved after her mother died in the rubble:  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/10/baby-aya-syria-earthquake-newborn-name  And they are still finding survivors...  Lulu is still sizing up her new Mom & Dad!

Lisa, there are some famous people who were and always will be hunks!  Bon Jovi is definitely one of them!

Lani, have you found the picture of Aly yet?  ;D  I did miss seeing your good night post, I always see it when I open the Beak in the morning, glad you came in so we know you are okay!  That has happened to me before, was sure I posted and come back much later to see it still sitting there. Glad you are going to help your friend...you are a comfort to everyone...

National Cream Cheese Brownie Day   -   https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-cream-cheese-brownie-day-january-10/

We got about half inch of rain yesterday morning and then it turned into snowballs :o  early snow (7:30am)left splatters over 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick - temp was 34 - only took about 30 minutes to have everything covered in snow again.  Total snow was about 3 inches with 50% water content - very heavy and packed together when shoveling with water running off the shovel.  Got shoveling done by 2pm and everything stayed wet with light snow lasting until 3pm - what was shoveled is dry this morning.  Had a low of 18 this morning and is now 24, heading to 32 with sun.

PUFF   We find ourselves slipping a lot with Lulu's name  Too close to Lucy.

LORI   yum.   38 days - Yay  That tiramisu latte looks great.

LOLOL   I don't believe anyone called me on my mistake this AM thinking it was Caturday.  I've been thinking it was Saturday most of the day today - Must be my meds  LOL

OLDGUY  Just now reading some of your links - Turtle and eagle - little does it know.  I've seen better water fountains for cats. Very sad to hear about Burt Bacharach - a legend.

Just to let you know and any prayers are appreciated but I will be having a 2 level spinal fusion on Mar 2.  Yes I was shocked when I got that news but it is what it is.  I will be hospitalized 3 days .  I've never been hospitalized before . I will not be taking my phone to the hospital but will ask Tim to bring it when he comes to visit.

E4E, oh-oh, I missed little Star's Birthday!  Hope she had a good one, she looks marvelous for her age!

Paul McCartney - Dear Burt Bacharach has passed away. His songs were an inspiration to people like me. I met him on a couple of occasions and he was a very kind and talented man who will be missed by us all. His songs were distinctive and different from many others in the '60s and '70s and when we met not too long ago he reminded me that he had been the musical director for Marlene Dietrich when The Beatles shared the bill with her at the London Palladium. He was a lovely man. Nancy and I send lots of love to his family.  Paul

Yep. Up at o dark hundred. Now out on the prairie. Just saw a hawk nest, beautiful horse ranch, and a pair of pheasant on the shoulder. We saw 2 doe and a buck at the neighbor's feeders down the block when we left this a.m.
Pray the ice holds...

Baz - Thank you so much  :)    Like your good night gif!

Lani - Thank you so much!   Big game tomorrow! ;) ;D

LisaG - Are you guys finding a shelf or a place to display all these beautiful Lego sets? ;D

Tig - Have a great day at the ice races - sounds like it will be lots of fun!

Clynn - Thank you so much!   Love the 'wildwoods' pic - gorgeous Bobcats  :)   What a great photo of Burt, Paul & Jimmy!! ;D

Good morning Puff!

Phyl - Like your cute Caturday pic!

Tsk, Lori, Oldguy, Kb, BL, T40  :)

Although I took Star in for her checkup a couple of weeks ago, they overlooked giving her the Distemper shot that she was due to receive, so I am taking her back in this afternoon.

Everyone have a great Saturday  :)

Interesting posts on the creatures of nature: Aryana the hummer, new kittens (mountain cats?), hawks, pheasants, does.  Let me add my weeks' find. . .

At county building Tuesday for jury duty I saw a hawk land on a ledge.  Sat and waited for it to fly off to determine the kind.  Alas I had to get inside and even bypassed my tea for a bird.  But officer/guard said there's hundreds in the adjacent field.  Ah ha - Thought I'd go over today or tomorrow and sit and wait for the show.  Looks like it will be delayed until tomorrow.

One of my errands yesterday, less then 1 mile away from home, I went to visit Ton.  Walking back to the hotrod I spotted an animal.  I sat in the car to wait, I wasn't quite sure what I'd seen, coyote or wolf.  But it showed again, about 4  car lengths off to the side of the car.  A wolf!  Sitting patiently, quietly, and in awe, I waited to see what else it would do if it came back.  Bonanza, another showed up.  A pair!  They strolled around, laid down now and then, sniffed, marked their presence, and then met up and rubbed each other and rubbed noses.  No, they didn't mate.  But, I'm sure they are a pair and share the territory.  Eventually I had to leave, about a hour late, to finish my rounds.

I did apologize to Tony when I said I would be sharing my time on the next visit; he said he knew, he understood.

{{{Puff}}}  :-*

Eagles, poor Star getting a shot in her tushie. 

Tig, I hope you're taking pics! What a great day you're having!

Clynn, Thank you for posting Burt Bacharach Documentary. What a brilliant music arranger/composer/writer. There was magic between he and Dione Warwick... I loved it! It brought back such good memories of music, fantastic singers and the time period of my life. Such good memories.  :) ... love the Three amigos wildcats fascinating by the drone!  ;D. Love the pic of  Burt Bacharach, Paul and Jimmy Buffet. Bella looks so grownup waiting for her American Doll.  :-* ... beware of Peeping Toms, reminds me of my sweet old Weezel. He was the neighborhood peeping Weezel, he was very much loved by all.

Lisa, great ghostmobile! I send safe journey wishes for your mom! She'll have such fun!  ;D

Hi Baz  Mike is home, rested and sitting in front of the tv waiting for the KU basketball game to start.  He'll take a few more cat naps today to catch up after long week/all that driving.... :)

Phyl, sweet baby hummers, that cam is great! Your photos are very clear.

Well KU basketball has started, I better get up and get going. Dishes to be done, bed to be made (I need to move Milo off my pillow, that is how he celebrates his Caturday mornings) Of course that's after he and his bro Norman wake me up at 5:30am clawing the sides or under the bed mattress  :-\

WOW ((PUFF))!!!!! Your sighting of that pair of wolves is a big wow!!! I hope you call your county/state Wildlife office (both, if you have both), and report the time and location of your sighting. I'm sure they would love to know the pair was there - they probably try to keep tabs on them, based on reported sightings. I'm not sure I would've been able to leave before the wolves did. I would've been totally mesmerized to be able to watch them that close. You had great cover in your car to do that! What a keeper of a special visit you had with Ton.

Tig you/Camper are really early birds.  Here's hoping the ice holds for y'all.   ;) bucks and does plus a hawk.  ;)
Turkeys waiting on the road shoulder for a bus.  LOL; very nice childhood memory.

Lisa looks great--LEGOs have improved the seam.  I know Eagles mentioned a shelf for display---maybe a room addition?  :-*
St Christopher be w/ your mom as she travels

Eagles hope this is all Star needs for the year.  ;)  :-*

Ahhh {{{Puff}}}  awesome viewing the wolves though. Lucky gal. Ditto calling the wildlife dept. they'd be interested

Lori Now that Star has her driver's license---has she mentioned any travel plans?   ;D

Clynn how cool Bella got to see her AG dolling being put together.
LOL 'peeping Toms''

Lani awww Norman.  :-*   Glad to read Mike had a safe journey home. I'd like to think St Christopher helped.
Just a thought about kitties clawing the underside of your boxsprings, take some peg board and rest in matress rails then add the box springs, etc.---Samantha did that  her first year w/ me to hid up amongst the springs. I use to feel her all night long .

Kb wonderful snaps of eagle/wolf altercation; you darned Burt's sock? Did I get that right?  ;Sweet mama and calf in the bog.; one never knows---might be enough to melt some snow. Nice that temps are warming for you.

T40 lots a links---let's see---LOL cats in love, last one; why cat's are affectionate---hungry ,   tis whyMaggie jumps in my lap LOL; snack time  ;D

There won't be a second time... it will be gone!!  ;D  Love the pic of Bella watching her American Girl doll being made!!  :-*  Fun trip!!  :)  She's wearing an outfit that's very similar to the outfit my youngest twin great nieces are wearing (different colors, but similar outfits). They turned 5 years old in December! How did that happen?!?!!  :D :-* :-*

Lani, awww, Normon's got it going on for Caturday.  :-*  He looks a lot like Etta.  :)  I'm glad you probably didn't have to hide during Mike's KU game today. LOL!  ;)  ;D  KU won big! Did Mike celebrate with some of his Cozy Burgers?  :D  My Carolina Tar Heels have had a very rough go recently,  ::)  but they are kicking butt in their game right now! Yay!!  It's about halfway through the 2nd half right now. Hope it doesn't go south in the last 10 minutes!  :D

Lisa, I keep thinking Mardis Gras is this coming Tuesday. LOL. It seems late this year to me. I know your Mom is going to have the best time in Nola and going to the parades! Wow, Jeff is working those models fast! He's a pro!

Well BAZ and PHYL  Half bad news half good news.  Bad news is that it is late on a weekend day.  Limited staff to talk to.  Cemetary lady says they know about coyote on their land but had not had anyone report wolves.  Still on duty is the groundskeeper.  She said she would alert him and give him some of my info.  She suggested I call the manager on Monday.

I also then called the county forestry office.  Person who answered said he wasn't available, I took that to mean he left for the weekend.  She did however forward me over to his machine where I left/repeated the information along with my contact number. 

I did get a good feeling from both people I did talk to.  They seemed to believe me and to care.  I will follow up on Monday.

You can bet I'll be over there the first break in my schedule WITH A CAMERA!

Street Cat  Bob---Valentine's

Hi Tsk Caturday greeting yesterday---yes you did.  ;) ; distemper is highly contageous and life tghreatening--- canine distemper virus attacks the brain, spine and nervous sys. However, not a very stable virsus. Feline distemper or feline panleukopenia (FPV), is a virus that is highly contagious and potentially life-threatening. The disease affects the blood cells in the intestinal tract, bone marrow, and stem cells... and more. https://www.bing.com/search?q=distemper+in+cats+wiki&qs=UT&pq=distemper+in+cats&sk=SS2LS1MT1UT2&sc=10-17&cvid=A71295724D2D4762A1511626C7254DF7&FORM=QBRE&sp=7&ghc= (https://www.bing.com/search?q=distemper+in+cats+wiki&qs=UT&pq=distemper+in+cats&sk=SS2LS1MT1UT2&sc=10-17&cvid=A71295724D2D4762A1511626C7254DF7&FORM=QBRE&sp=7&ghc=)1

Good Evening Beakers

Jeff and I met Bradley & Kelly in Annapolis for lunch today.  Yesterday was her birthday, so we wanted to treat her to lunch.  We also went shopping for some baby stuff.   :)

tig -  ;D on the turkey's on the shoulder. 

E4E - When Bradley moved out, he left some bookcases in his room, so Jeff is putting the finished Lego models in there.  Hope everything went ok with Star's shot today. 

Puff - Sounds like you had a nice visit with Ton, and got to see some wildlife, too. 

Lori - What a cute birthday post for Star.

clynn - Awww, look at Bella patiently waiting for her doll. "Hissing Booth"!

Lani - Love the pic of Norman.   Thanks for the safe journey wishes for Mom.

kb - Wow, the pics from the trail cam.  Glad you had some warmer weather.  LOL, I thought that was you in the chair!! 

T40 - Lotsa videos today...thanks, still watching!  :D

Phyl - Yes, the Lego's seam has improved.   :D  Thanks for the St. Christopher for Mom.

baz - Yes, Mardi Gras does seem later this year.  Jeff says, it does seem to get easier putting them together.

tsk - I was getting worried when I didn't see you post!  Thank goodness you checked in.

Puff - Awe, sweet - your visit to Ton. {{Puff}}

Lori - How wonderful is that - your birthday gifs for Star are sooooo cute!!!!  You are creative & thoughtful - thank you so much - love the image of Star behind the wheel!!! Lol!!!! ;D

Clynn - Lol; 'wonder if Toonces was the instructor'!! Funny!!! ;D    Wow, love the pic of Bella watching her doll being made!!!! ;D    Lol; Peeping Toms!! ;)   Will you be having a little get-together at your home for Bella's birthday?

Lani - Love the darling pic of Norman under Dewey's blanket!!  Question tho; did Dewey know about that?! Lol!    Actually Star got the shot in her right shoulder.  I asked the girl who gave her the shot if she whimpered (as I was not in there), and she said that Star growled! Lol  :)    You are always so busy taking care of things, but glad Mike is there and relaxing.  Hope you get some relaxation too. :-*

Kb -  Let me make sure I understand;  you sewed Burt's sock??

T40 - Like the owl!!

Tig - Sounds like a great day was had!!!  Taking a nap in a tent in a flannel lined sleeping bag sounds like heaven to me! ;)

Hi Baz - Cute picture of your twin g-nieces. :-*

Phyl - Yes, I hope Star is good for the year with her shots now. :)  Forgot to ask how was Jim's Friday off yesterday?  Did you guys do anything fun?   Lol; Star's travel plans would be to stay right here - she loves being in her familiar surroundings!  ;D :)   Although we do take her for rides in the car with us!   How is your Maggie?

Tsk -  I noticed you hadn't checked in early this morning!    The shot for Distemper is just a routine shot for dogs.  She's always had one every year.     You, Tim & Lulu have a nice restful evening.  :)

LisaG - Good - sounds like a perfect place for Jeff's lego sets - you all need to enjoy looking at them! ;D :)

Beakers have a good evening - keep warm - sleep well  :)

T40, thanks for links.

Phyl, cute kissing both.

Baz, the twins are adorable, it's wonderful to see what great buddies they are.... We need to get Mike more cozy burgers for March Madness! KU has had a tough year. Today was a good day, as well as for your Tar Heels! We're ready for Super Bowl!!  ;D

Tig, nope, can't fix stupid

Clynn, Look at the bikini  ;D ... Norman left Dewey's blanket after a nice cat nap, Dewey was upstairs on our bed.  ;D. Love your Honey and Harley cartoons

{{{Hugs Tsk}}}

Lisa, sounds like a nice day with Bradley and Kelly. How is she feeling?

Eagles, Dewey did not know about Norman under his blankie. Dewey was sleeping on our bed.  ;D Star growls and Sadie whimpers.

Good night!

Tsk Maggie's always gotten the vaccine for Feline Destemper along with one of the 'core' vaccines,  for rabies .  My understanding that all cats get this as a precaution. Maggie just got a renewal last month  during her annual visit with vet. 
But, to anwser your question, contracting feline distemper.

1. Cat-to-Cat Contact The most common mode of transmission for Feline Distemper among cats is through direct cat-to-cat contact. That’s because infected cats shed the virus is through bodily fluids, such as saliva and urine. ...
2. Contact with Contaminated Equipment and Surfaces ...
3. Human-to-Cat Contact ...
4. Through Breast Milk or In Utero ...
5. From Insects and Rodents ...

30 now, 52 for the high today, partly sunny.

Phyl, I have only ever had rabies shots for my cats, just because it is required. Superbowl...football is something I have never gotten into. The snacks are good though!

kb, the Saw-whet, the smallest owl in NA, about the size of a robin. Tiny little cutie! Great video!

Lani, oh those good night cats...so sweet...

E4E, Bella's BirthdayParty will be on Saturday (I think). Bella told me last Wednesday that they were going to some gymnasyics place and then to Build-a-Bear in the Mall. We haven't gotten the details yet. Speaking of car rides with pets, for the fifth time Becky and Jennifer have driven from Oregon to Mom's in So. Illinois, a three day trip. And always with their 2 cats, Molly and Lucy. They are quite accustomed to the ride and to Grandma's house!

Lisa, a Happy Belated birthday to Kelly! I wonder how big your stash of little girly things will be by the time she gets here!

tsk, hugs...but not too hard...

Berry College Eagles - As B16 continues to grow strong, it can sit up tall for feedings! Soon, the eaglet will be three weeks old, and its beak and feet will keep growing and looking a bit clownish. We are so lucky to get to see eaglets grow and change!

kb -  :D

((tsk)) - Glad you checked in this morning.  :D  They have a nice day planned for their ceremony at the Courthouse.  It will be an all day event with pictures after the ceremony, to lunch and a dinner later that evening with her family.  Not sure where we are going for lunch yet, but I do know the dinner will be at Benihana's. Kelly showed me a picture of her dress yesterday.  It's very nice, an off-white to the knee lacy kinda dress. 

E4E - Glad to hear that all went well with Star's shot.

Lani - Kelly is feeling good.  She is so skinny that she is not even showing.  Sweet sleeping kitties.

Phyl - We did have a nice time with yesterday.  :)  Reading your comment to tsk about the feline distemper, Bandit gets that too, but 3 years.  It use to be every year.

clynn - I have a nice lil pile started.   ;D Awww, look at B16, growing like a weed! 
Great pic of Erin & Sydney in Chicago.

LISA  Take lots of pics  :D

SWFL  Had a vid on FB - Dad trying to protect babies from invading huge female.  I'll see if I can find it

https://www.facebook.com/susan.starckromano/videos/1406684376801300/?idorvanity=243241724058357  YIKES

Wow tsk I never have seen such a pic.  Someone was in the right spot at the right time. 15 is determined to be super dad.  Love to see such determination and defense.  As I said - never saw anything like that before up-close-and-personal.

tsk, that video is WOW, I agree with Puff!  I wonder if the female would hurt the babies? They need to set up a pool by the nest and stock it with fish so M15 doesn't have to go far...

Roger Garber - Had a brief encounter with the 'committee' this afternoon, all went well with the 140 or so that was counted. (I bet that left a HUGE mess on the roof!)
Thinking of willie...

clynn - More great pics of the kiddos!  Are they having fun?  OMG, 140 on the roof?  We pass a house on the way to the store in the next town over, and we see something similar, not as many, but the roof is a MESS!

CLYNN   What a great pic of the Bean. ( Cloudscape)  I've not seen it from that perspective before  LOL  Good family pic. You'll have to ask Bella what the best part of her vacation was... Holy smokes - that is one large "committee"  :o

PUFF   I found it hard to watch.  He's sure betting on Harriet's return - If not - will raise this brood and find a new mate next season.

((((BAZI))))   We'll pretend we read it  :-*

This cat we have has to be part dog!   Her favorite toy is a tiny "mouse" that sits at the end of a wire via a snap swivel. The wire is attached to a rod that her human uses to tease her with - She is lickety-split FAST.  Then she wants to carry it off dragging the wand behind her a little ways - turns around and brings it right back to the human's feet!!  This goes on for minutes.  She rests and the whole thing starts again.  I wanted to nap a bit this afternoon so I'm all situated on the office couch and he jumps up on my sidelying body with the mouse in her mouth.  I ignored her.  She went to Tim in his recliner in the family room.

Enjoy the game everyone.  May the best team win.  ;D

 Lisa/ Lani Of course,  I know Feline Distemper is  given every 3 years---and Maggie gets hers at her annual exam.  ;D


Kb lovely Eurasian Hoopoe  and awesome vid. Thanks for sharing

Clynn we enjoy the 'big' games usually football and basketball. Jim keeps up only just enough to chat with his younger co-workers and maintain a good
relationship with eveyone. I'd do the same if I were still in the workforce.   Next to the former LA Rams, my fave team is the KC Chiefs. I love the in stadium games---and the after game 'excitement' free for all.  :o 
G otta hand it to Becky and Jennifer  making a long auto trip with two cats---good cats  and good training.
  Bella's 5th birthday will certainly be  special  and Grandma/Grandpa will take loads of photos .  Sweet photo of Erin & Sydney ---kids  in Chicago. Thanks for sharing.
 Such a sweet little juvenile Ruby throated hummer. Tks  for the update/photo on B16/Berry College nest, everything else grows into that beak and those clown feet.  :-*

Hi Eagles that's a good Superbowl 57 logo, incorporates the red mountains of AZ. Berry College nest pic is a good snap.

Lisa a happy belated birthday to Kelly---it will be nice wedding, one all their own.  You'll have a blast when the children's dept have sales!

Lani tks for the Royal Albatroos photo update, lovely photo of Mom and SP; those seal pups are sooooo cute!   Weary eagle puddle bathing  :-*

{{Tsk}} I've never seen such a nest  attack as this on  M15's kids.  :o  Great suggestion  Clynn, creating a near by  pond and stocking w/fish. Just like the Decorah nest at the hatchery.

Clynn  Roger Garber's  encounter with the 'committee'  :o. Bet the roof was a mess.

((Baz)) all that work into your post. Shucks!  Granted this post has me nervous. On the lighter side--- 'Mr. Bill' so funny.

Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink, bbgolden and Nrstooge

Hi {{Tsk}}

Oldguy fantastic  Chiefs victory photo.    "Where do Downy Woodpeckers sleep"  Now I know where our two resident pairs snooze.  At last the wood stove is in use and we get to see the cats reaction--- esp Miri's first reaction. Enjoyed all the other kitty videos. That tiny kitten is so sweet and lively.
How'd you're card game turn out?

Lori great KC Chief's helmet; I did watch some of the Puppy Bowl and Kitten Bowl.  The Super Bowl commercials are the best ---"Bud's lost puppy commercial "  awwww.

Lori  the Royal Albatross update and photos thanks for sharing from Lady Hawk;  agree 'fluffy cuteness' and is really growing.   I'll always be amazing

SWFL Eagle Cam home of Harriet, M15, E21 & E22

Little ones are doing just fine this morning  ;)  M15 has done an  amazing job.   The past few days have been super tough with the intruders during the day and the owl attacks at night & being spooked by a stranger taking photos at night,  but he remains strong!  Prayers for this precious family! ((M15, E21, E22 and beautiful Harriet))

bro hugs 💜

Feb 13th via SWFL chat...Harriet may not fly too far from her territory. However, if she were chasing an intruder and injured, she may not be able to return. She had no signs of illness or distress when last seen. M could know but he has been heard calling for her. Right now, he seems to be concentrating on taking care of the eaglets and he is doing a very good job. There are private groups searching and following up on tips of downed eagles.

Lori thank y ou for your post. Very concerned for Harriet. Relieved to know private groups are continuing the search for  Harriet---pray they find her and soon.
E-21 and 22 look great! Many thanks to dad, M15---a father's love/devotion.

Big Bear Bald Eagles home of Jackie & Shadow

Pip watch begins on 2/15. Jackie & Shadow had spent long periods of time away from the nest for the first time yesterday, so hoping we have some little ones in there moving around. ((prayers for little ones))💜 The nest is located in Big Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. It is about 145 feet up in a Jeffrey Pine tree. Egg1 was laid 1/11. Egg2 was laid during a winter storm 1/14.

Shadow  ;D ;D ;D

Everything isn't awful ;) ;)

Morning all...nice to see Newman.....

Fun game to watch last night....I had no dog in this fight but I see several of you are happy with the outcome.

I have 22 pieces left of this gosh awful 1,000 piece puzzle...it seems obvious at this point I'm missing pieces as well.

I will reclaim my dining room today and did reclaim my lower deck filled with concrete snow in an area yesterday....lots of chopping. pushing, and then heaving over the far side of the deck....I'm now ready for the next storm logistically but not emotionally....we need no more snow at all for the rest of this season.

Ta Da!.....
Finally, finally, finished this darn challenging puzzle.....and yes, it's missing 3 pieces....and,
No: Ollie man did NOT eat them...I checked on the floor and everywhere, etc.

I don't recommend this puzzle unless you want to feel extremely frustrated and are up for the challenge.
Took me 6 weeks....tv tray eating for 6 weeks!...
Interrupted by also challenging weeks of snow removal but still...

My thumb and wrist are so sore from chopping concrete, er um, snow in ice I am going to take some time to heal and let Mother Nature do the rest for awhile..

Might start washing some walls in a few days...it's on my list...luckily it's not might dominant hand.

Another sunny warm day here - at 50, heading to 52 - also low 50s for tomorrow before the rain comes in mid day.  Temps to fall down to single digits by Friday morning and some major snow (2 to 6 in forecast still varies) on Thursday.

It was a strange card game Sat. night - we normally get in 2 or 3 games for the evening, but Sat it was only 1 game, that took 1:45 to complete - 5 long hands, first 2 my team  only scored 1600 pts (10000 to win) and the other team had 7200 - the next 3 hands we won with the other team only scoring 1800 while we went out.

CLYNN   What a great pic of the Bean. ( Cloudscape)  I've not seen it from that perspective before  LOL  Good family pic. You'll have to ask Bella what the best part of her vacation was... Holy smokes - that is one large "committee"  :o

PUFF   I found it hard to watch.  He's sure betting on Harriet's return - If not - will raise this brood and find a new mate next season.

((((BAZI))))   We'll pretend we read it  :-*

This cat we have has to be part dog!   Her favorite toy is a tiny "mouse" that sits at the end of a wire via a snap swivel. The wire is attached to a rod that her human uses to tease her with - She is lickety-split FAST.  Then she wants to carry it off dragging the wand behind her a little ways - turns around and brings it right back to the human's feet!!  This goes on for minutes.  She rests and the whole thing starts again.  I wanted to nap a bit this afternoon so I'm all situated on the office couch and he jumps up on my sidelying body with the mouse in her mouth.  I ignored her.  She went to Tim in his recliner in the family room.

Enjoy the game everyone.  May the best team win.  ;D

Tsk, LOL.  I think Lulu must be a pretty smart dog, er, I mean cat!  ;D :-*

Not so well, LOL.....still thinking about when it will all be gone?

This is why we here in Minnesota don't like very very large snow storms in Dec/Jan.....like this year's historic amounts.

Lori, Lots of great updates today! Thank you! Love your Albatross gifs and Lady Hawk's video. This is a beautiful family, very loving pair too. Thanks for sweet SWFL gifs. There is an intruder with M15 in the attic tonight. M15 doesn't seem worried. It's been there for quite awhile.  ??? ... glad to know there are private groups looking for Harriet. Prayers for all.

Tsk, Lulu must be part dog. My cats do not fetch or anything....  Mike was quiet during last night's game, until 4th quarter.  ;D

Phyl, prayers for Sauces family... Newman has returned! Such a handsome boy. I pray a good season for him.

Kb, Fun looking puzzle.  ;D ... fun brave Shepherd post. Sadie hates Wabbits too... snow pile looks lower than last month.

Oldguy, reading your game scores, as you say strange card hands.... thanks for links and funny minions... we have snow flurries tonight and very cold.

T40, funny food delivery service. LOL!

Baz, cat cards  ;D

Eagles, Sounds like you had a fun Super Bowl too! The best part of retirement is being able to sleep in on Mondays!  8)

Good night from SWFL
At 11:52pm M15 has his head tucked in and is perched on the attic. Another adult eagle is perched on the nest tree.
This eagle is not Harriet. We hope the rest of the evening will be peaceful for them.

Lani Not unusual for kitties  to fetch - especially if there'sa treat waiting at the end of the etching routine.  First one who ever did it was namesake Puff the beast.  Lastest would be Ashley.  Favorites?  Of course milk rings.  Funniest was when builtin dishwasher had to be replaced.  When installer pulled it out along with it came about 8 milk rings.  She found away of jamming them upright into the sides.  Being a dog person we then had to 'plain the routine to the installer.  Two other things Ashley retrieved were feathers pulled out of her toys and her little fluffy pom pom balls.  Anything for treats.

Happy Tuesday.

Snow piles in front look lower cause I've spent several days chopping them down....I slide a flat spade shovel on the top of them and slide the snow down "the hill" on their backside...they are for the most part concrete.

Preparing for next storm and helping them melt when warmer weather...Thumb/wrist still hurt.

{{Tsk}}

Lani tks for  SWFL photos--kids look great and all.

Kb darling kitten  this AM; all the best with the snow removal---careful with your back

Puff ditto on the fetching of toys. As I said Mike loved to fetch his squeaky  tweety bird, which was a dog toy.

Puff, Honey loves those milk top rings too, I fine them when cleaning! I am sure there are several under the fridge!!

kb, cute kitty! I am amazed at the hard, physical work you do at 'our' age, and with your physical limitations! Sounds like you need a jackhammer... ::)

Lani, just like when Dad decorah went missing, the stranger that helped Mom protect the area from intruders...we all thought it must have been one of the previous offspring. I think that is the case at SWFL now, that eagle guarding the eaglets is one of her offspring... sweet pics of SWFL...

tsk, you will really laugh when Lulu starts taking Tim's slippers to him...  ;D ;D

baz, love the cat Cards for Humans!

Phyl, sweet picture of Newman!  Love your Valentine this morning! And thanks for Amy's Blog!

Lori, thanks for the video of Newman!

SWFL - So many emotions as we watch M allow a visiting eagle to stay in the nest tree in such close proximity to the eaglets! Watch it live @ www.SWFLEagleCam.com

SF Bay Ospreys - Mother Nature's winds have scoured off much of the nest and revealed a fish skeleton Rosie brought to the nest March 28 this year. The fish skeleton was identified as a sturgeon, most likely. Rosie and Richmond have both been seen this season!  They have a lot of work to do on the nest! Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

Puff, I should have written, my current cats do not fetch or play with toys, as I have written in the past few weeks about Milo and Norman. We had two cats in our family lifetime that loved to fetch and carry and leave goodies on our pillows or favorite place to sit. special memories  :)

Tig - I unexpectedly ran into some black ice this morning just after 7am..coming down a hill to a red light.
Anti lock brakes engaged hard and front end was brought back to neutral after twisting to the left...
Scared me as so unexpected at 40 degrees and above freezing all night...
I tapped my brakes repeatedly to alert the car coming up behind me, contemplated making a quick right turn on red rather than waiting to turn left but thankfully the light turned green before he got close enough to me...I assume he/she knew what I was alerting to.
Careful out there.

E4E - Sounds like you had a nice Superbowl Sunday.

clynn - LOL on the need for a jackhammer.....sounds about right.

I'm surprised too actually. I have such delayed soreness/pain in the 2-3 day period following my work....
I have never been one that is able to sit sill very long...you know what they say: sit down in that recliner and you won't get back up...
I don't injure myself further while doing things....just feel it "down the road"..and feel it esp in the morning.
It does help I have had neck, hip, elbow surgeries and replacements though as well. I'm like new ya know, LOL

I need a few weeks off of snow removal as thumb is killing me, neck and shoulders are bad..
Just can't help myself...
Yesterday as it was warmer tons of neighbors were out trying to reclaim their driveways and walks..

Thanks Phyl...yup...I can't predict when someone else will do something stupid/unexpected, but one thing I do is kind of like how I walk my dog.

I DRIVE my vehicle, I don't let my car drive me....I remember thinking this in my 20's...lots of peeps just let the car take them somewhere....I also walk my dog, he doesn't walk me :)

It was kind of nice to discover this ol gal (Jeep Grand Cherokee) 23 years of age, still has anti lock brakes working!....it's like new though with only 64,000 miles on her.

Something made a good antic suddenly pop into my head - magnets!

I'm one of those crazy refridgerator magnet people lani.  Puff and Ash were also magnet cats.  Big side-by-side hold lots of magnet, floor to almost ceiling, two complete sides.  The two mentioned aggrevators loved bouncing floor-counter-top of fridge, lay down, reach down to snag, Let Them Drop!  Not for Ton, only if I was sitting or just in the kitchen.  And, if I wasn't here nothing was touched.  If I'd be gone on a conference trip, nothing!  When I sat down after coming back - Ah Ha here come da  magnets.  Wouldn't play magnets with Ton, either one of them.  We all know that two humans are "played"  differently.

Interesting, tig never heard of or saw ice racing.  Grew up originally with midget racing in Colorado at Elitches Gardens, brother Ed was with the drag racing crews.  Uhhh, ice racing? Pass.

OldGuy... I was nervous, of course. Yes, they check the thickness. Someone told us this lake is basically a bunch of bays, so maybe the ice is thicker? And we had that very cold week, which helped. All this rain today won't be good for it though.

Lori, Love your Valentine and sweetie Destini  :-* ...and the yummy brownie!

Oldguy, yummy Valentine goodies! Mike has eaten a quarter of the box of 12 heart candy he gave me this morning. LOL!

Puff, love your magnet story...and so true about cats playing their humans differently. Our Neiman loved sleeping in Mike's shoes since he was a kitten. And Mike is not a very touchy human about cats. Mike would removed his shoes just for Neiman when sitting on the couch for the evening. Even though Neiman was an adult, would keep his two front paws in his shoes and go to sleep. LOL! so cute  ;D

{{{Hugs Kb}}} That had to be terrifying.... I pray warmer days will come soon for all of you. In 1974, I was 8 months pregnant with Aly and driving our family station wagon when we ended up on black ice when a truck coming towards my left side, he couldn't stop, Shannon was 3, sitting in the back seat. I took my foot off the breaks, guided my car to the safety of a snowy bank on the corner of the road, bracing for the hit to my driver's side/where Shannon was sitting, and ended up through a side street snow bank and wooden fence. Thank God, Shannon had turned her face away from the broken glass moving to her right, only a few cuts to her face. Thankfully, she had her coat hood on and she turned away. My neck hurt for awhile and we ended up with a new car. And sweet Aly was born 3 weeks later. That memory is so clear in my mind, I can see it as if I was in the car again. Please take care.

Tig, Thanks for the 2nd link. Great photos and looks like fun for all involved! So this was on a lake? How thick is the ice? I just read your post to Oldguy.

Clynn, I was watching SWFL last night. Intruder wanted to sit next to M15 who was stationed right above nest. He chased intruder off a couple of times, and then settled down. He need to watch eaglets as owl bother them too last night. Poor M15 needs his sleep too, so ignored intruder, but would not let it close to eaglets. We've known female intruders destroy eggs/young eaglets in the past. Lucy/Larry's nest of Eagles for Kids. Original Berry mom chased off.... Trio-Bald eagles, Female intruder chased off Hope, who was injured in battle over eaglets. Then Trio dads defended and took care of eaglets themselves. But at least there was two of them. So glad to know Rosie and Richmond has been spotted.  :)

Phyl, thanks for Amy's blog and Valentines History.

Today's weather is a mixture if sleet and snow. A messy day on the road.
Our insurance agent is coming to see the shower and damage to carpet in closet today.

Will do BL... Yes, a hundred pickups pulling car trailers on the ice set my mind at ease. A car needs about a foot of ice, a pickup about 18 inches.

TIG  I was hoping to see some racing in that vid??  Gotta love Minnesota.  Wouldn't see that around here  LOL  Now Dave's pics were what I wanted to see - WOW  I see there are different categories of races - Like the motor cycles.  He got some great action shots with the snow.

PUFF   LOL  Magnets story  ;D ;D

OLDGUY   Love the Valentines sweets  ;D

LORI  Some sweet Valentines for us  :)

LANI    LOLOL  MIke eating your candy..  What a horrifying story that happened years ago. You all were so blessed it wasn't any worse. I always hope I would be of a calm mind if that happened to me.   You've remembered a lot of past nest histories regarding intruders.

Swampy, the pond gator, has been "outta sight!" (tee hee) lately - maybe on a brief cold-weather vacay. But he has been back - HE'S BA-A-A-ACK! - and sunning on his "throne" in the middle of the retention pond the last few days.  His "throne" is a flattened grassy clump of island, conveniently small-gator sized, in the middle of the pond, and he usually shares it with a bunch of pond turtles, some of whom use Swampy as their pillow. LOL!!   ;D

Not my Swampy, but it really looks a lot like this in the middle of my pond:  ;D

Mike and police couldn't believe I had the presence of mind to take my foot off the brakes. But, for some reason my mind reacted like it did when I was surfing as a teenager, and a wild wave comes at you from no where. I let go, relax body, mind, take deep breath and flow with the undercurrent to keep my strength to make it safely to the top. I'm thankful your anti-lock brakes are working!  :-*

oldguy - Thanks for the videos. 

Lani - LOL, Mike eating your candy.  I could not wait to eat mine, and started two days ago!  ;D So glad that none of you were seriously injured in that accident.  Is that a good thing or bad thing what the insurance adjuster did?  Im assuming bad from the  :(

Lisa, I guess it's a good thing, they have to look for the leak. But, So unexpected. Mike is terrible about letting me know what to expect. I would have covered my things in the bedroom with sheets. And then they sprayed with something strong and have three fans going on down stairs that need to be on until Friday. Now, we wait to see what they decide...  ???

BAZI  That is one eye- popping greeting for today. ;D   OMG  I need to show that to Tim with your suggestion.  I got teary - that wonderful rescue Lulu who could barely carry the slipper.  Great story!  Good to see Swampy back on his private - well not so if you don't include the turtles - island.  I expect this is a spot you easily see out your window each day so as not to miss anything  ;D  You are so good to get your taxes in so early.  Tim starts working on them tomorrow or so he says  LOL

PHYL   Aww such sweet gifts to each other for Valentines day.

LANI  This SWFL  female" could be easing her way into M15's heart?   Was that a good thing that the insurance adjuster did?  I see you answered that.  Sounds complicated!

Lani - Sweet good night kitties!  Just read your explanation from yesterday, yea, probably a good thing.  You don't want that to happen again.

Tsk our dinner-well I cheated some as I had doc appt.,you know. The cream cheese salmon sauce was left over salmon dip I found at Aldi's. The cooked shrimp was a med. size ring , a BOGO at Publix  as were the crab cakes(the other's in garage freezer, as are remaing crab cakes, for Lent). Jim brought the cake home the night before. However, I could have done all that---if I wanted too.  ;D LOL
Pets to Lulu---keep wanting to call her 'Lu'.  :-[

Clynn/Tsk and all your weather is chilly and windy---keep warm  :-*

Eagles happy 'Good Morning' to you; pedicure this afternoon--I look forward to an hour w/ Toodie and a glass of vino.

Lisa  those Belgin waffles  w/ cappuccino  look delish.  Any excitement on trail cam?

A beautiful mourning dove...someone in central MN saw one recently.....hmm.

Morning all:

Been busy assisting a lost dog situation....just now home and safe....along with my neighbor's camera we saw the dog in retrospect in the street early this am, someone from across the street captured it and protected it. Missing dog's owner posted on FB community page and both myself and neighbor let her husband know what we saw.
Husband just got it and brought it home...her kids left the front door unlocked and wind took it and dog escaped....New homeowner a block away.....Whew.

Blustery and colder....after over 24 hours of rain I missed a very short window to sweep the decks and driveway of all that moisture before it's now turned to ice.
I am now ice locked until this weekend......

Peep would love this article about how Kids are used to help wayward Puffins found in small spaces in the southern most island of Iceland:
Perhaps more than Peep would like this.

Clynn, love your morning mouse and posts! I'm amazed that the Arizona pear cactus survives with the snow and temps. It truly feels like a Fool's spring. Our HOA wants us to start firewise cleanup next week. We're expecting rain next week and it's too early to firewise this year. The Oak leaves won't start falling until April.

Good Morning Beakers

It is a nasty day here - my deck is at 6" and forecast is for another 5.5" to fall - temps holding at 29 until 6pm and then fall to 5 by morning.  Not planning to go anywhere other than to shovel this afternoon.

Thank you all for the cute Birthday wishes for Bella! I will show them all to her when they are here either tomorrow or Sunday! Erin sent me some pictures, she opened her presents from Mom & Dad this morning!
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/67/a8/ce/67a8ce90ae28798547749a88d10da76c.jpg)  (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/02/63/e9/0263e950644eaaba4b0fbdf4c9405497.jpg)  (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/bb/38/56/bb3856e4682fbbd0492ac5193569fa6e.jpg)

Its been snowing since about 4:30 AM when I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep! Should be done here by 5:00. It's a very light snow, not heavy like the last one! Everything is beautiful again!

Lani, Curtis! A Toucan at the Toucan Rescue! Robin is smiling...  ;D  What a cool Albatross video, with the teenagers yakking while Mom & Baby snooze... Is the snow melting or is it still COLD there? Like oldguy, we will get down to 5 tonight. Love the sad picture of the sweet dogs with the scarves on, they look forlorn...

Phyl, beautiful closeup of Newman (I had to stop and think...)  :o Praying for Sauces...if my memory is any good, didn't she lay 7 eggs one year, and all of them failed? I just found the nest history, it was 2017, 8 eggs were laid, all broke. Then in 2018 3 eggs were laid and they all hatched and fledged!   https://www.iws.org/sauces-nest-history

Saw this on FB. Cannot imagine how bloody I would be if I tried to put this on either one of my cats!

Lani, I always think it's so amazing the way so many cacti survive such extreme weather changes. There are some pear cacti in the edge of the trees by my townhome, and they just keep on keeping on... drought, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, snow, freezing temps, and more... pretty amazing. I know the snow is pretty in your area, but, yeah, you and Sadie stay warm and snuggly inside today!  :)

Clynn, loved your pics of Wednesdays with Bella this week!  :-*  Gotta get that special fun with her little princess self while you can!  :)  Thanks for that perfect picture of a pretty parrot perched on pages of pretty parrots.  ;D :-*

Phyl, ugh on the stormy, scary weather. Stay safe!

Oldguy, that's a lot of snow falling at your place in such a short time! Take care, and pace yourself on the shoveling!

E4E, I bet you have a fun weekend lined up.  :)

Tsk, LOL, I love that picture of the very brave kitty walking through the valley of the shadow of death!!  ;D ;D

Lisa, I hope your Mom doesn't have to drive through any dicey weather today. Safe travels to her... and to you and Jeff, too! I hope you don't have to cross the bridge in stormy weather today!  The baby clothes will still be in the stores this weekend.  ;) ;)  Just kidding!  :)  Is the wedding soon? It's going to be a happy day full of celebration!  :) Her dress sounds pretty! Have you and Jeff been able to meet any of her family yet?



I'm off to run errands, so...

Later, gators!  :D

Hi Baz cute gator gif. Been wondering about Zippo and his Valentine's Day?  Nice card for Bella

Lani tks for Royal cam up date. Now is that 'yakking' as in gabbing or 'yakking' as in barffing.  Handsome Curtis.

Tsk Glad you stayed in. Messy out there

Clynn nothing like new fallen snow! Luv the photos.  Sweet photos of Bella, esp w/ballons. I spy a 'Happy Birthday" headband.  ;)

Tig I hope you stay 'blessed'.

T-40 I do believe you've nailed that Newman expression.  Have you clicked on the photo? Give it a try.  ;D

Not us Puff. Wasted trip just for junk mail. Don't you get 'Informed Delivery' from USPS?  Scans of your mail are sent via personal email from USPS. And, dwelivered right to your 'Inbox' also notices on packages

Lisa I think B and K should give us some wedding photos  to look at.

Phyl - I will have some pics of their special day to share with you all.  :D  Kelly's brother and SIL did gift them as a wedding present, a photographer to take pics at the Courthouse and some pics with the family afterwards. Great pics from the cams.  :)

What a thoughtful wedding gift from Kelly's bro and SIL

PUFF  Glad you were cautious.

CLYNN  You also got quite a bit of snow.

PHYL  I've always loved that post.  I do it once a year  LOL  Stunning pic of falcon on the cliff.  Never had one of those weaving looms...

We are 13" below our average snowfall for this time of the year... ???

so cute but so young.

Awe, 4 baby fox were rescued spread out on Lake Minnetonka Feb 14 and taken to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville MN.
They all were hypothermic but after 20 minutes in an incubator they were normal.
They usually don't get fox until mid March or April...this is the earliest they've rescued them.

I hope they can be rehabbed.

Lisa, a lovely gift for Bradley and Kelly from her bro and SIL. Looking forward to the photos. Have you bought something special for yourself?

Phyl, nice pic of Newman from EmilyOhio. beautiful spot.

BL, you're always helpful to others with your weather knowledge.

Hi Puff, take care

Eagles, Albatross is very social critter. They do love to visit their neighbors, they sit and chat for hours. I don't think I've ever seen that with other birds.

Good night!

SWFL posts - 7:00p A calmer day closes. M, E21 and E22 had plenty to eat today with no interference. The Es sleep with full crops, with Dad above. Hopeful for Mom's return. Menu: 4 fish, 1 UFO. Sleep safely and peacefully Eagle Family. 3 hours ago

I didn't watch it, but I wanted to share what Lady Hawk wrote about this event. This female is not interested in helping, she's all about survival for herself.

SWFL Eagles ~ FIERCE Fight On Nest! M15 FORCIBLY KICKS Intruder Out To Protect His E's! 2.15.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA9A8SM3kWo

28,316 views  Feb 15, 2023
E22 was attempting to self feed on fish when the female Intruder flew in to the attic and was watching the E's alone on the nest. She then drops down to the nest and grabs the leftover fish that M15 had brought in and she starts to eat. E22 who was hungry comes over squeeing to her hoping to get fed but the intruder is not interested in feeding another eagles offspring and she warns, lunges, bites and even kicks E22 who went totally submissive. The intruder does this three times to E22 before it moved away from her. The intruder continued to eat and then E21 heads over attempting to get fed and she also warns and bites at E21 who tries to defend itself and the nest.

M15 will see the commotion going on and come flying in quickly to defend the nest and his E's. The intruder lunges at him first - but M15 is fierce and he fights with the intruder on the nest - both eagles stepping all over the E's - E21 getting the worst of the impact. M15 forcibly kicks her off the nest but she does not go far - she lands on a branch right below the nest (seen from cam 3) . Both E's are lying still on the nest pancaked and scared and do not move right away. Thankfully both E's are okay and E22 will get a feeding by M15 after this is over.

This female eagle has an injured talon and seems to be interested in the food and not on harming the E's however I want to caution everyone watching that injury to one or both of the E's could happen in the future from fights like this indirectly or directly, they could be knocked off the nest or even taken. The eagle is not a surrogate mother and she will not bring in food or feed Harriet & M15's eaglets. She is interested in her own survival and in getting free food that M15 is bringing into the nest. The intruder is not helping M15 in her actions, in fact, she is causing him to shorten his feedings just at a crucial time when he normally feeds E22 after E21 is fed. He has been interrupted several times in the past few days by having to chase her out of the nest tree. The food M15 is bringing is for the survival of himself and for his offspring and her constant staying in the nest tree trying to steal food is taking it away from the E's at this crucial junction of having only a single parent to feed and protect them.

M15 is also not interested in a new mate - his sole focus is on hunting, feeding and protecting his eaglets. Her attempts to inject herself into this family can cause dire consequences at this time, so we hope that M15 can stay safe and not get injured in these fights and be able to evict her from the territory. It is hard for a single parent to accomplish all these things - that is why it takes two eagles to defend, protect, hunt and feed their offspring to bring them to fledge. Our magnificent M15 is doing a great job so far and our hopes are that he will be able to continue to do so. Thank you for watching!

Dreadful news from M15 and kids. The Great Spirit will watch over them and do what's best'.
Harriet, oh where are you? If you're injured in rehab facility ---don't forget your family. Get well and return.



Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink, bbgolden and Nrstooge

Tsk I had gotten a Lily weaving loom as a Christmas present one year when I was in grade school. It was fun and I made lots of potholders , coasters  and ' clutch style' pouches ( I'd sew a button onthe middle of the front and use the loop I worked in to make a closure.

Oldguy lots of snow, lots of back ache. Take care.

Eagles that high 69F won't last long as you can see; we had a blustery rainy Thurs night. Not that bad at all.

Kb those fox pups are so cute. Wishing them the best.

Phyl, oh no, not the fifth egg gone...so sad... I wish they would be able to get rid of the DDT that was dumped in that area. I found this very interesting video of bringing the eagle population back to the Channel Islands.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnjXsW0AMxs  Cute Good Morning!  Thanks for Amy's Blog!  I tried to get Kelsey interested in the weaving loom (hot pad maker), but it didn't work. I think I will try it with Bella sometime soon! I remember being obsessed with it at one time, a long, long time ago...  ;D  Great picture of the Norths, and of the view from GSB!

Lani, you couldn't watch it, I couldn't even read it...  The snow is very pretty! We have 31 and sunny today, then 5 days above 40, so it will be gone! then we will probably get a little more, after all, it is only February!

Lisa, how sweet of Kelly's brother and SIL to do that! That means they are very happy that Kelly is marrying Bradley!  Erin and Sydney got married at the courthouse too!

kb, what cute little fox kits! Hope they do well!

tsk, looks like we got about 5" of snow. It will be sunny today, hope it clears the main roads, it usually does.

Sue Bruhling - Oh! Look What We Have Here?? It's Little E21 & E22 hanging out today missing their Mommy Harriet that sadly has been gone for Two weeks today 🙁 But with Hope that their Daddy the "Mighty M" can continue to feed and watch over them...  Asking all of you Prayer Warriors and you know who you are to pray for M, E21 & E22 at this point they need all the prayers they can get. I noticed today when I went to check in on them, M looked awful and exhausted....

PHYL  Sweet AM pic.   Such a clear pic of the Norths

CLYNN  Love the slippers on the squirrel  ;D   Sure hoping they can do something about the Channel Islands - Loss of eggs has been going on for a while now.  That's an amazing story about the Stellar eagle.  It will never find a mate...

I am late this morning, as Bradley came this morning to go get his taxes done, and he has been spending the morning with me.  We just came back from the Carter's and Baby Gap outlet across the street.   ;D

Morning kb, E4E, tig, oldguy and all  :)

Lani - Thanks for the SWFL updates.  No, I have not bought myself anything special yet.  Jeff and I hope to go out this weekend and get something. 

Phyl - Cute morning greeting, make me wanna have a cup of tea  :D  Thanks for RRP post, and pics from the cams.  Awww, poor Sauces!   

clynn - Your morning greeting, so cute!  Jeff & I got married at Courthouse, too.  :D  Thanks for pics of the SWFL pics, and of the Stellar Sea eagle!

Lori - Great gifs from DE, DNN & SWFL!  Mr N looks like he is ready for some eggs.  :D

I leaned on my cane too much on the pool deck this a.m. and it slipped out. I had to engage all my muscles on the right side to avoid falling. I can feel it a little but luckily nothing serious. We will see Antman movie and perhaps a trip to Outback for din din. We have not been there in years.

Lani, love that picture of all the tulips in the snow!  Do you still have snow on the ground?

Lori, beautiful pictures of HD & HM!  And of E21/E22! Thanks!

Lisa, I love the Carter's/OshKosh B'gosh store!  We don't have a Baby Gap here, but I have been to one!

SWFL - Sue Bruhling - OH! Another one of those pictures that pull on your Heartstrings... ❤
Makes me so Happy to See Little E22 with his Daddy ❤
E22 says as he's looking up at Dad, "Daddy when I grow up I want to be just like you" ❤ "Thank you for taking care of me and my "Big Sis" while Mommy is gone" ❤
Thank You! Barb Henry Photography for sharing your Picture with us! ❤

I didn't have much of anything tsk.  Only a dusting of snow, laying as I mentioned on a coating of ice on everything.  When I went out to start my errands, everything was  melted/gone.  Sections in the sun were not only gone - the cement/roads had dried off in the sun.  But  it still didn't make it up to freezing.

Maru, Hanna and Miri are allowed to roam with out leash in the fenced in back yard - but a leash is always used when the cats take a walk outside of the fenced area.

I also thought that the Q-Kids did a very good job on that song today - Bellamy's keyboarding skills are improving.

Clynn- I guess times have changed since I bought baby clothes, cause I have yet to see any baby nightgowns, only sleepers. 

Kb - I hope you really aren’t getting that much snow.

Tig, I hope you're not sore tonight, and you and Camper were able to enjoy the afternoon and Outback! I wish we had an Outback near our area.

Lisa, Time with your son, trip to buy baby things, all in all it's been a good day.

{{{Hugs Puff}}} Ton and Little Chapel of the Bells  :) .... When Mike and I went through pre-wedding counseling we had a Methodist minister named Rev. Phoebe. There was 8 year difference between Mike and I, we were from opposite worlds, with different life experiences and didn't know each other very long, Rev. Phoebe told us we would be lucky if we would last five years. It's been 52 years. Every challenge good or bad, Mike or I would turn to each other and say "Thank God for Rev. Phoebe!" And now even our girls turn to us and say "Thank God for Rev. Phoebe!"  ;D. I often wonder where the good ole Rev is....

{{{Lisa}}} what Puff said, Amen  :-*

Clynn, beautiful photo,  love what Smb wrote, so true. We still have snow on the ground, expecting more next week.

Kb  ;)

Oldguy, haven't had stuffed flounder since Kansas. Yum! Miri is fearless.... Bellamy  ;D

Phyl, thanks for Amy's blog.

Eagles, Do you know we're expecting more snow next week? You and Kris have a lovely holiday weekend too!  ;D

SWFL Eagles ~ M15 Brings In Live Fish & PINK MEAT UFO! E22 Makes Impressive STEALS From Dad! 2.16.23
https://youtu.be/SOHWVQAHeYg via ladyhawk

M15 flies in with a fresh live fish and starts to feed E21 who gets the prized first eyeball! 😲 E22 makes its way to Dad and does the snatch and grab and gets bites. Then E22 will see a huge piece of fish on the nest and steals it right from Dad! It is too big to eat but that was a very impressive move from E22 who is a smart eaglet. M15 continues to feed the E's before flying to the attic.

Later, M15 flies in with a blob of pink meat and begins to feed the E's. It looks to be some type of processed meat and the E's are really enjoying it. M15 feeds E21 first but then E22 comes around and grabs bites to eat. E22 will snatch a huge piece of meat and swallows it down! Good job E22! M finishes the feeding and then flies to the attic. We get a nice zoom on his clean feet with a little feather caught on one of his talons. Thank you for watching!

Lori, love the video and E22's steal! They are all three doing so good! Hope you and Destini are doing good as well! Hope you get those gifs fixed, they look fine to me!

Lani, what a sweet story of your Rev. Phoebe, and your family saying "Thank God for Rev. Phoebe!" 52 years, a long time... How did you meet Mike?  And was it love at first sight? Sweet goodnight kitties...

E4E, if I remember right, this weekend is free to do whatever! Will Kris be tinkering with his car?

Lisa, you are right, you don't see many baby nightgowns with the elastic or drawstring at the bottom in the stores! I looked online and Carters still makes them, maybe they just don't carry them in the stores. If you google 'baby girl nightgowns with drawstring bottom' you will see a lot of them!  Be careful though, some of them are so cute that I want to buy one for your granddaughter too!

Phyl, that cat snuggled in the slipper, so cute!

tsk, love the cute way Lulu is sitting, right up there, inspecting the flowers! 27 here, heading for 42. The sun is shining here too!

Phyl, that cat sticking its tongue out!  ;D ;D ;D

I talked to karen yesterday, she wanted me to let you all know she walked 360 ft with a walker, and she is making plans for going home! As soon as she is able to get up and go with a walker she can manage at her home, along with a few grab bars added in strategic places. And she will be able to get back on her computer. It's been nearly a year...

Not sure, but I think this is some kind of ant eater type creature?

Morning all.

Eagles4 - Our piles of snow are still very big...but worse is it rained 5 inches in Dec and January on top of it and another several inches in February....so it's all concrete.

I need to try to find some snow that isn't hard and put it on top of Ollie's semicircular path for peeing in front. A male dog needs to lift his leg ya know,  ;) and he's slipping for the last few days.
We may get above freezing today so I hope to accomplish that task.

Although, as I stated almost 14 inches coming in a few days will help that situation.

Have prepared for the week just now...have all I need....

Sis and I concur..this is the worst winter we can remember in our lifetimes...the combination of way above normal snow with ice and cold is just something...

Gotta go take a nap...Chris and I stayed up too late and of course I tend to get up at my usual time.
Then pee path fix I hope.
Later

Clynn thank you for all of the beautiful pics and updatesk... great to hear about Gabby... I have been so sad about Samson  :'( SWFL kids are doing much better :)  Haven't checked on Jackie and Shadow I am afraid to see what it says.  Hatch date was the 15th and they left the 2 eggs for hours on the 13th so... maybe a re-clutch. I just don't know.  I will check today... Especially thank you for the update on Karen!!!  I am so happy to hear this!  When you talk to her please tell her I said hi and I miss her.  :-* Love ya girl!

Happy Caturday Beakers! Great posts this morning!  :-*
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Kb Looks like an anteater to me. They would have a gourmet feast here in our forest.... I hope it will be safe walking for you and Ollie man today  :)

Eagles, your rain showers during Weds - Fri will be our snow during those days! LOL! Will you have your mom and sis over for the holiday weekend?

Tsk, Rev Phoebe was quite vocal that my mixed race, as well as coming from the working class island living would not work well with Mike's mid-west middle to upper class upbringing. My parents agreed with him. My mother was not pleased I was marrying out of my race. But she did as well, so I ignored her prejudices.  I did have to do most of the adjusting when we moved to Kansas in 72, my dear maternal grandparents had instilled a lot of confidence in me. And with the love and guidance of my dear mother in law, we did just fine. Rev Phoebe comments just spurred us to succeed where others saw failure. And here we are "Thanking Rev Phoebe". I wonder if his ears ring every time we thank him. LOL!  ;D ... awww, beautiful Lulu taking time to smell the roses!  :-*

Lisa, love your morning post  :-*

Tig, looking forward to BE pics!

Clynn, Mike and I met in Waikiki, at the Ala Moana Center where he worked as a young stock broker for then Dean Witter and I started as the New Accounts/Receptionist right out of High School. We met in December 69, and married August 70. The other Rev Phoebe saying we have is "Don't thank me, thank Rev Phoebe!" Mike said it this morning when I thanked him when he filled my coffee mug for me.  ;D ... oh Samson, where did you go and why did you leave the Hamlet  :'(. I hope V3 is from Romeo and Juliet. ... Karen's news is the best news of the day!!!  So happy to hear she's working hard to return home. She will be so happy settled back with her own things again. Prayers for continued healing!!!  🙏🏼 🙏🏼

BL, sweet .... thanks Phyl for Sugar Glider pic

Lori, wonderful to see SWFL eaglets eating well, thank you DadM15!  :-* ... "Get of the Counter" LOLOLOL!!!  ;D ... awww sweet Destini, you both take care and I hope your grandma is doing well too  :-*

EAGLES  The official snow fall was 2" so it won't take long for the grass to start showing again.  This is the kind of winter I like - snowfall and melting before the next snowfall  LOL  Bet the neighbors are interested in Kris's restoration. - some come and watch?

CLYNN   WOW  What great news about Karen.  Hope she is open to some part time help initially til she acclimates?  We will be happy to see her back on line.      " crocheted coasters"  ;D ;D ;D         Tupperware spaghetti colored  LOLOL  So true.

LORI  You must keep a list of all those pets.  I don't remember them all - You could add Lulu?

KB  The google search says it is an anteater.  Cool looking creature

LANI    WOW  You had some real challenges to overcome from family in marrying Mike who also happened to have a great Mom for support.
Love your " thank Rev. Phoebe" stories LOLOL

Lisa - I tried to nap!....nada..but I rested with Ollie man when Chris had a friend over up stairs for a couple of hours.

I did try to find some soft enough snow to cover his icy paths...some success..had to chop through ice packed snow on top to get to the layer that was softer... :) :)....may not be comprehensible to non snow/ice livers..LOL.

I used my big ice chipper to get a titch more ice off along the driveway and apron of driveway as well.
The goal being to have reclaimed my whole driveway and have somewhere to throw the snow from next week, now predicting even more than 14 inches.

Now my thumb hurts again, but I'll give it a shot again tomorrow and Monday before the snow starts up on Tuesday.

tsk - love the Lulu pic....and your hanging lights and counters btw.

Tig looking forward to the BE photos

Lisa 'I'm a simple woman' yes we are. I think weather similarities are due to being on about same longitude and latitude. Glad Bradley enjoyed clothes shopping for his daughter  some practice for future parties, Jr/Sr Prom, graduation and her wedding.   ;) :-*

Tsk hopefully in the next few weeks you'll be back to your old self ---cheers to 'next year'  Awww Lu admiring Valentine's flowers.  :-* None of my kitties past nor present have been able to just sit and enjoy them w/o munching.  Although, Samantha loved yellow roses  and she'd sniff them one by one over and over.   :-* :-*

Eagles cute kitties this AM; tks we'll enjoy the weather and you, too.

Clynn tks for update on Karen. So glad she'll soon be in her own home again. Such a horrendous year long recovery. {{Karen}}

Lori cute photo of Destini

Kb your anteater is Myrmecophaga tridactyla the world's largest of it's species; You've been so busy w/ snow issues, hope your thumb feels better  and do take care; Ollie's like Mike and Maggie if I laid down for any reason--right there with me, one at my back and the other in front at my tummy.  I was all tucked in for as long. LOL   


Lani yes it's a sweet kitty , glad you enjoyed the cute cat videos

Hi Puff 2' that's a good bit of snow, take care

Kb Hurrah for DNR nest! Tks for the heads up.  ;)

Phyl, I made sooo many potholders with that same kind of loom when I was a kid. Great throwback item!  I hope they are still being sold.

Tsk, so nice of your neighbors to clear your walks. Hugs to you, and to them!  :)  I've been hoping you have been able to get at least a little relief from all the discomfort. Wha??!?? You never had one of those potholder-making looms? A deprived childhood. LOL.  ;) :D

Lisa, your Momma!! LOL, glad she got to your aunt's house A-OK. I bet they are having a blast, no matter what the weather! Oh, wow! That was a wonderful gift from Kelly's brother and SIL to provide the photographer for the wedding!!  ... coming very soon!!  :)

Lulu the Valentine flower inspector.

PHYL   Cute Japanese squirrel  :)   Only acceptable way to wake me up  LOLOL

LANI   Hard to believe a minister would say that!!!  Both of you certainly proved him wrong!  Another sweet good night photo  ;)

BL   Never heard of a sugar glider before.

CLYNN   And hear " peace on earth"  So true!   Good to hear Gabby chose V3.  Maybe no eggs this year.

TIG   Get some good eagle shots today  ;D ;D

LISA    I'm a simple woman  - so true.

Tsk, sugar gliders were an "It" popular pet for a while. I hope they've lost favor as pets. Very cute, but probably best being in their natural enviro.  Your lfowers are GORGEOUS! Were they for a special occasion? From Tim? How cute is Lulu! Awww, look at her balancing up on only her back legs so she can stop and smell the roses!  :) :-*

BL, glad the sugar gliders about were rescued and released. It sounds like you and Pip got to be involved - and a sigar glider perched on Pip's shoulder? How cool is that!  :)  I had to try to fill in some of the gaps in the post, so I hope I did that about right. I hope you and Pip are both well, and warm!  :)

Lani, I LOVE those Rev. Phoebe-isms you and Mike and the kids have!!!  LOL!!  ;) ;D  Great story!  :)

Lori, awww, look at pretty Destini!  :-*  But, Zippo says, "Hi Destini! Now get lost!"  ;D :o ::) ;)  LOL! Zippo has no truck for cats!  :D :D :D  Please tell Destini not to take it personally.  ;)  Thanks for your gifs - they're good!  :)  I hope you and Destini are all snuggled in and warm this weekend.  :)

Clynn, your fresh snow is pretty. Glad you haven't been overwhelmed with it - nice that it melts between snowfalls. I bet Bella would enjoy one of those potholder looms. When I was growing up, our Parks and Rec had them in the summer parks supply of "stuff" and I learned how to use them when I was about her age, I bet. Then I got one of my own as a gift.  A different kind of "puzzle" to figure out, at first.   :)  Thanks for the good news from Karen making good progress towards getting back to being mobile, and heading back to her home before long!  (((Hugs to Karen from me))), if you think of it next time you talk to her!  :)  She's on a roll!!  :D  Pun intended. LOL.

Phyl, you asked about Zippo and Valentines. I gave her plenty of extra treats on Valentines, and we shared an omelet. She loves scrambled eggs!!  :o ;D  But, SHHH!!!  8)  Don't let on to her what scrambled eggs come from!  ;) :D

Beakers, I hope you all have a wonderful evening!  :) I'm headed to see which bottle of wine to uncork and let breathe  ;) in a few minutes, so I can properly observe today's national wine drinking day celebration.   After all, it's almost 5 o'clock in my time zone right now. And, of course, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere!  ;) ;) :D ;) :D  I will be pairing it with a bowl of fresh organic mixed baby greens with a few goodies mixed in, drizzled with some yummy Carrot and Ginger Dressing... along with a plate of some Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil Triscuits, topped with a dab of Dijon mustard, sliced pieces of Toscano cheese with black pepper, and flakes of a yummy, moist chunk of Chipotle and Lime Smoked Salmon. Nom nom.  Lol, that will be Happy Hour and dinner, all in one.  ;) :D

baz- you had me checking my post about 2' of snow.  What?  I checked back with tsk to see if I made a typo.  No, I had 2" , tsk had 2". 

Two feet would really have been a surprise.  Two inches vs. two feet - we are only about 15 miles apart.  Our "lake effect" does cause a challenge sometimes with local weather but not that much recently that I remember.

I never had the potholder loom.  Interesting project.  Loved the display of the missing coasters,too.  Cats sure do like to gather.

PHYL  Awww  Sweet Bob         Lulu is a big sniffer - Her nose is going all the time.  But unlike Lucy - she does not play with or bite on the leaves or flowers.  We made sure of that.  It was 2 inches of snow... ;) ;) ;)

BAZI   To be honest I don't think I had any friends who had the looms either   ???   Tim always get me flowers for Valentines day. ;) :-*   Funny Zippo and scrambled eggs  LOL   You have the best "Happy Hours!  ;D

Clynn - Thanks for the update on Karen.  I do hope all goes well enough so that she can return to her home.  Can you tell us what ever happened to Taffy Apple - I know that had to be so hard on Karen to have been away from TA, except for some visits here and there.

Lori  - Like the VW bus with Destini's name!!

Kb - Oh my gosh - terrible 'concrete' to deal with.  I know you always take good care when you step out, but please continue to be careful.   Yaay - 2 eggs on the DNR nest! ;D

Lani - Yes!  We had a little bbq today with my Mom & sis over here.  We enjoyed the lovely day and each other's company.  ;D   Just read what you told Clynn about how you and Mike met.  What a neat story of how you met - it sounds like love at first sight! ;D

Tsk - Yes, Kris does get neighbors stopping by while he is working, sometimes they all get to talking a lot! ;) :)

Phyl - Have a good evening and a good dinner (always something good at your house)!

Tig - Glad you had a nice outing today  :)

Baz - I learned about 'Looms' when I was a young girl going to summer recreation - so fun and so proud to make something to take home and give to my Mom!

Oldguy - If you have cards tonight - hope you win!  Like the vid of the kitty ringing the neighbor's doorbell - Lol! ;D

T40 - Great 'Caturday' vids! ;D

LisaG - You are a busy girl - have a nice evening.  :)

Good night Beakers - sleep well and stay warm!

baz- you had me checking my post about 2' of snow.  What?  I checked back with tsk to see if I made a typo.  No, I had 2" , tsk had 2". 

Two feet would really have been a surprise.  Two inches vs. two feet - we are only about 15 miles apart.  Our "lake effect" does cause a challenge sometimes with local weather but not that much recently that I remember.

I never had the potholder loom.  Interesting project.  Loved the display of the missing coasters,too.  Cats sure do like to gather.

P

Puff, you must have me confused with someone else. I didn't mention your snow. I know you didn't get 2 feet of it.  ;)  Thank goodness!  :D

My Happy Hour/Dinner combo turned out good, and was very filling. But I managed somehow to find room for peanut M&Ms for dessert.  ;) :D

G'night, Beakers. Sleep tight. SED.  :)

Tsk, wonderful of neighbors to clear your walks. I've never seen loom kits before.

Oldguy, We participated in celebrating National wine day. Mike with a nice red, Aly and I with a pinot grigio.  ;D...  Santi is like St Francis gathering and feeding of God's beautiful creatures. I wish I could bring them home with me... the neighbor's cat  ;D ... good luck with the cards tonight!

SED Baz, A delicious feast with a great bottle of wine to end your day! Yum!...  Thinking about Lil Punkin and family, and I hope all is going well with her trial. OMG! Peanut M&Ms to finish the evening. I wish I had a couple right now... love the good night pup.

Tig, sounds like you both had a nice outing.

Kb, stunning sunset pics, ice not so nice to walk or drive on.

T40, fun videos "kneading bread"  ;D

SED Eagles, glad you had a nice day with Kris, your mother and sis. Reading your comment to Tsk, Sounds like you have nice neighborhood. Our area has lots of hikers/walkers with pets, so many of us know each other by our dogs names.  ;D

Good night!

Lani, a few years ago I found this crafting site that has the weaving looms, more for the hot pad serious weaver! They have some beautiful colors ! https://www.acornsandtwigs.com/collections/potholder-weaving  I agree, Santi is a saint to all the cats he cares for...  Does Sadie have a favorite friend at the dog park?

baz, you had a wonderful dinner!

Phyl, delicious looking breakfast...Tiramisu? Nice to see your bluebirds!

E4E, a nice day with family! You are lucky to live in a neighborhood that likes to mingle! It's more and more a thing of the past. To your question of TA, karen's vet found a foster home for her at first, then they decided they would love to keep her so she has been with her new family about a year now. Karen is planning to go home in April, that is when her friend Mickey can come and help her get all settled.  So she has over a month to get more strength built up! I will keep nagging her to do it, do it, do it!

tsk, I have always marveled at how different cats can be! Even if from the same litter!

kb, those icy roads look like they are in the country, hard to scrape snow off of gravel!

T40, oh those Murder Mittens!  Love watching cats knead, they are in another world it seems!

clynn - Nope, not in the country at all...first one is a trail in a park/lake...tar.....second is in my birth home..an older bridge also tar.

These pictures posted by me are meant to show a tiny sliver of how much ice we've had to contend with most of the winter here....it covers more than walking paths....roads, yards at homes and more..these pics don't even do it justice.

I realize it's difficult for those who don't live here to imagine this...

HI EVERYONE

40 heading to 51  Mostly sunny

EAGLES   A nice family Saturday  :)

BAZI   There's always room for peanut M&M's   ;) ;)

PHYL   It was a typo I'm sure  LOL   Nice blue on that second pic of Dad BB

CLYNN  I must say of the 6 previous cat's we have had - this one is the most different.   ;D   Reading the cereal boxes - memories.  That was my Mom hanging the laundry in the winter - only on lines across the driveway which was cleared of snow  LOL   Like Bennie's rendering.  Never realized the course of the stream.  :o

Phyl - Your homemade pizzas last night sound like a yummy dinner with salad too!  Enjoy your nice weather today. :)  Our high will be around 64!  Love your cute little bird pics  :)

Clynn - Thanks for status of TA - so happy to know that TA has had a wonderful home! ;D :)   So good that Karen has her friend Mickey. :)  Reading the cereal boxes - I did that too!! ;D   Did you all get together yesterday for Bella's birthday party or is that today?

Kb - You have definitely had way more ice to contend with this winter than ever before.  :o :o

Tsk - Sweet how Lulu has her own strong personality.  ;) :)

Puff - Wow N2B!

Oldguy - How was your night at cards? ;)

Our Canadian fowl stayed for almost an entire hour.  No visitor came to check out the situation.  Makes me wonder a couple things:  Was today male or female?  Either way, was it one of last years' pair?  Will there be a repeat brood for 2023?  And, what about what current territory owners HD and HM think about sharing space/territory for their first nest with outsiders?

Good Morning Beakers

I feel like I am so behind and can't catch up when I miss most of the day! 

Morning to all that I may have missed  :-*

Puff - Yay, I see the geese are back!  I remember Amy said in her maintenance report, that N2B had alot of weeds grown up, so she just stomped it down in case the geese came back.  I guess the weeds died over the winter and turned to straw.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52698631908_6dd4cb5134_b.jpg)

E4E - Nice day with your family.

((tsk)) - Hope you have been feeling ok. 

clynn - So glad to hear that TA has been taken in by a new family.  I bet that was very hard for karen to give her up.  You are a good friend to karen...((HUGS))  Thanks for the map from BennyB.

Phyl - Great pics of your bluebirds. Mmmm, I would love that cake for breakfast.

Lisa, Looks like mother goose to me.

Puff, Looks like mother goose is checking out a comfy nest for eggs.

Kb, dangerous roads to contend with this year. Take care.

Clynn, I know about weaving looms, my mother in law had a floor one in her needlepoint shop. She held classes. I had never knew about loom kits growing up. Never saw in Hawaii nor in Kansas, but I'm sure they had them at Ben Franklin stores. Probably had them in old Sears catalog too. Now, I'd like a loom kit for placemats.  ;D.. I read your post to Eagles, that's wonderful news about TA and best wishes for Karen's success. :-* .. thanks for Benny's post....

I have seasonal pillows, pics, from MIL and Mike's grandmother. I liked to use embroidery yard instead of needlepoint yarn in my projects. embroidery yarn is much easier on the hands in the winter.

LANI   Nice treasures.  I've never done needlepoint - My mom did and I have some beautiful pieces of hers.  I embroidered pillowcases  - think Mom taught me when I was younger but when I learned to crochet then embroidery fell by the wayside.  I enjoyed doing it tho.

HAPPY DAY BEAKERS!   :)

A couple of people have asked about my Littlest Greatniece. I don't have any updated details on how the research trial process is working for her, but it must be going well, because she is still in the trial. She was at Boston Childrens Hospital last month for several days for trial-related stuff. She adores the doctor who is running it. (((He is one special soul on this earth.)))  :-* :-* She's living her best life.  :) :-*  Her preschool class recently visited Mt. Vernon, in Virgina, on the Potomac River, and it looks like they had a good time. She played the drums with a Mt. Vernon fifer!! LOL! And one of her classmates joined in.

I have a ribeye steak and baking potato (Both of those items are major special treats for me! Oh boy!!) for dinner, but they are not cooking themselves, I see, so I am off to handle that,   ;)  and make another yummy mixed baby greens salad. I think I will make a Dijon mustard vinaigrette tonight to drizzle on it, instead of the carrot and ginger dressing I had last night. There's a Tawny Port and a sliver of a Stilton on standby for dessert tonight. Mmm.  I'm hungry! So I will catch up here again sometime tomorrow, hopefully.  ;) :D

Stay warm, and safe, and have a restful evening, Beakers.  :-*

Tsk, I have a hard time with crochet. My MIL designed kits, as well as having an artist to do special designs for customers. I have a couple of her unfinished pieces, I haven't completed them. Someday I will.... take care  ;)

This actually will be the Humdinger of all humdinger's we've had all winter ;)

I bought food on Friday that will get me through this upcoming Friday.....geesh. That may not be good enough now that I think about that clean up.....would have to resort to peanut butter sandwiches!
I have enough wine however :)

I have my snowplow guy on the hook for this week but I'm like number 31....so I will only repeatedly clear a path shovel wide from the street to my front door for deliveries if they even can happen

Wunderground is saying 17.5 -23....I assume you read that third paragraph above stating locally over 20 inches.

I have nowhere to put my snow off the decks anymore....maybe the upper one a bit...
Ollie will have a blast.....NOT

Hoping everyone's roof hangs in there as they are suggesting "infrastructure" might be a problem with the loads...

Lucky us/sarc..

Thanks for the graphic.

There is a slight hill going up my driveway. After the rain/ice I couldn't get up the slippery driveway. I had put my van in park, took foot off brake and continued to go down driveway.  I managed to get the van sideways so it wouldn't roll on the street and left it there. Later Ross got salt and got the van in the garage. Ross has been working on the ice and almost the entire driveway is no ice. Totally dislike this winter.

3 wolves.....the lull/calm before the storm!

Bischue - yep the ice this year from all the rain we've had has made it so treacherous and unusual.
Glad you have Ross to help you as that hill looks daunting...get ready!

Lani, sweet good night pic... Very interesting that your MIL designed crochet kits and had a needlework shop! Hopefully you have the directions! I bet she made many beautiful items, so wonderful that you have some of them to cherish....  I crocheted many an afghan, I have saved one just because it is so 70's - Harvest Gold, Loden Green and Burnt Orange, the signature colors of the early 70s!

kb, I can imagine the snow you are having, I lived 2+ years in Duluth...  ::) But the ice is another story... and it takes so long to melt... Our snow from Thursday is almost gone, thanks to 50+ temps for the weekend. Sorry you have another storm to endure, hopefully it will be the last... Beautiful wolves!

baz, great pics of the little ones, glad to hear Lil' Punkin must be doing well in the trial. No news is good news! Lil Brother is a hoot! Another good dinner, you are spoiling yourself!  Good for you!

Bella was such fun yesterday, I had all her presents sitting on the toybox, she waited patiently through dinner... Her excitement as she opened present was priceless, I tried to capture some of it. When it came to the gift bag full of clothes she wasn't too interested, she threw them out one by one, then the big present!

Phyl, I love hearing the old sayings, like conniption fit, fiddle-fart, lolligag...  Wait, I thought HD and HM were settling in N1!! Now they are working on N2B? No more eggs at Sauces?  The hummers nest is chock-full!  Handsome Newman!

tsk, I have done some needlepoint in my cross stitch days!  I know you treasure your Mom's work...  I remember my Mom using embroidery paints when we lived in Germany. Cathy and I got into them and got some on one of the upholstered chairs. Mom made us show Dad what we did when he got home! The apartments were base housing, the furniture belonged to the base. I was 4, Cathy was 3...  Off the track again...  ::)

Lisa, I also hope the goose family will be allowed to stay! Have there been any other eagles seen on N2B?  Seems like it may be unclaimed this year? Love the very beautiful and regal picture of Mother Goose!

EagleCAM - Sydney Sea Eagles - 20th February, 2023 -  Lady and Dad paid us a visit yesterday morning, close to seven weeks since we last saw them.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

32  heading to 48.  Mostly sunny

BAZI   What a way to start my day  ;D ;D  How cute is that Punkin playing the drum  ;D  Love her little dress  :) and it looks like she has more hair too.  Laughed out loud at Lil Bro  What a character  ;) ;)  Thanks for those.  Your dinner sounded yummy.

LANI  Would love to have gone through MIL's shop  ;D ;)  Two loving buddies snuggling last night  :)

BL  That map says it all  :o :o :P

BISCHUE   Yikes!!!  You live in a beautifully wooded area with a long enough drive not to slide into the street.  How did you manage to get up the slight icy hill from the car without falling??  You are so blessed to have Ross with you.

PHYL  A visitor to Charlo  ;) ;)   Interesting to see HD and HM on N2B  They are sensing someone in their territory!

CLYNN  You captured some good b-day pics  :)  Now that was the doll she saw being made right?  Love Erin's pic  ;D  I'm unfamiliar with "embroidery paints" ?  I Googled them but not familiar at all.    Love Sue's E21 and E22  :)

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Phyl on February 20, 2023, 08:29:58 AM

Clynn reference Decorah nests,  seems to me,  like this is 2022 sequencing  all over again.
Hmmm...Well on the other hand, I could be off on my ID's. And this is intruding pair. Talk about a 'soap opera' then.  :o

Nice AM greetings; from you photos, Bella sure had lots of fun yesterday. In a few years, clothes will be all she thinks about LOL. Her Amer Girl doll looks great. She looks so pleased.  Tks for Sue's report on E21/22 the kids look great. Sydney Sea Eagles, Lady and Dad are looking great. Hope we see more of them.

Tsk tks for reminder on Presiden'ts  Day--ever since 'they' changed the birthdays to that it's lost it meaning for me.  Your temps are warming.Pets to Lu.
Re: Decorah nest  ;)     At Charlo nest: I saw the GHO  and was surprized. But evidently this fellow is a sort of regular . 

In yester days, embroidery paints were called "Liquid Embroidery' and were a popular item at Lee Wards and other craft stores and their cataloges. Seems like I've left one out.My late mother and I much prefer using the floss (thread). Like you, I've kept what I am able of her sewing, knitting, and crocheting, embroidery work. It's scattered throughout the house and tucked in a drawer in our bedroom too with some of my  maternal grandmothers /greatgrand mothers which I have a framed in museum mounting.

The weekend wasn't long enough   :(
All the lefovers are gone---now what's for dinner tonight? LOL

I went to the Y very early this morning to beat the snow. I didn't quite beat it. I'll have to drive home in it. Just a little today and it will be warm but preparing for the next few days.

LisaG - I am doing a little catching up, as I didn't get on here last evening - we watched a movie, then there was something on tv to watch, so went to sleep after that.  Nice pic of the goose on N2B - same nest they were on last year - wonder if it will work out for them again.

Lani - Like your little vid (posted yesterday morning).  Hope you & family are enjoying a nice holiday weekend  :)

Tsk - So special that you still have needle point your Mom made.

Baz - Sounds like your littlest GN has been very busy!! Thank you for the wonderful pics - especially playing the drum! ;D

BL - Good info for Kb!

Kb - You are so smart to be well equipped with enough food & wine to last you a while - all of you stay warm & safe.  Good that you are on the snowplow list - even tho you are at around number 31.   Beautiful morning pic - cute pups!!

Blschue - Yikes, your driveway looks so dangerous - glad you are so careful and so thankful that you have Ross with you!

Phyl - Like your cute morning gif.  Jim went into work very early - hope he gets off early too  ;)   I watched the fledging of the baby geese last year, and it really was intense - heart wrenching too. :'(   As much as I tried not to get attached to watching them, I did . . . .
Beautiful cliff view at Great Spirits Bluff.  Sweet Newman  ;D   Thanks for all wonderful nest pics.   Darling little hummers getting 'bigger'!

Clynn - Wonderful birthday pics!!!  It is so heartwarming to see Bella's happy little face with her gifts - especially with her Big special doll!! ;D ;D   Thanks for posting precious pic of E21 & E22 and thank you to Sue and Barb Henry Photography.   Like the vintage pic of the Liquid Embroidery demonstration. :)

Tsk - All of you have a great day  :)

Tig - Good thing you went to the 'Y' early - enjoy your day - maybe stay in and watch a movie on tv?

It was a short weekend for work - kept busy, so the time went fast - lots of big money sales, which should help get some more hours...

Lost both games of cards on Sat. - for the first time in a long time, we had a hand that was so bad that we lost points.. :P

This morning the deck has gone from 10.5 inches to 1 inch - some areas of the yards are now bare - we have rain forecast for Wed., but the next snow is 1 week away.  Much of the week is going to be with highs in the 40s - expecting 51 today.

Morning kb, tig, oldguy and all  :)

tsk & Lani - I have never been crafty, but Mama is, and she loves to sew.  One of the last things she made before she said I am not sewing anymore, is an Heirloom Christening gown to be passed down to all the grands. She also made me a beautiful smocked hat, if I ever had a granddaughter, and now I will have one to give it to. 

baz - Awww, look at Punkin, she is getting so big and Baby bro, too!

Lani - Love your good night pic, so sweet.

blschue - Oh my gosh, your driveway! 

Phyl - I hope its Mother Goose too, but hmmm, I am wondering if HM & HD are going to allow them to return.  Great snaps from the cams. 

clynn - Great pics from Bella birthday.  I watch DE every day, and I have not seen any other eagle or eagles that have visited N2B.  HM & HD went to N2B this morning, and what a treat that was to see!  I was like...Oh no, HM & HD aren't gonna be happy another eagle is landing near by, till I saw it was HD!   ;D 

tsk - Thanks for the reminder about President's Day, but I should have known....Jeff is here with me today!

E4E - I didn't get around to saying my good night's in here last night either, then we started watching Silver Streak that we have recorded on DVR.  It's one of our favorite movies.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Lisa, Such a treasured gift the Heirloom Christening gown made by your mama will be for your grandchildren. Is she in New Orleans yet?  ;D

Oldguy, Love Lesley, she's another angel of St Francis, her devotion to the birds is inspiring, especially Dimi. I think she's right about the moose. The moose knows her scent and does't feel threatened. I hope Dimi returns. "To accept the things we cannot change" and "nature is nature" is a hard lesson for us all. Too bad about the cards and thanks for the links.

Eagles, we've had a working weekend. Mike busy designing new piping for the Gila Bend plant. By the way, a Barred Owl has taken over one of their sheds and has 3 owlets in the nest. Aly busy writing client reports and I'm prepping for the convention, registration opens March 15th.

Tsk, you would have loved mom's shop. The smell of the yarns, canvases, but especially the table and chairs she had set out for friends to stop by with their needlework, sit and visit. She always had a pot of coffee brewing. There was a small bakery/sandwich cafe nearby that added to the comfortable atmosphere.

Clynn, wonderful pics of birthday pics of Bella and her beautiful doll and with her dad  ;D. ... MIL had a needlepoint shop, we carried crochet kits for customers who ordered them, but she didn't design them. She and her in-shop artist hand painted needlepoint canvas to create kits or special designed requests. I could paint needlepoint canvas projects for small jobs, like for KU or K-State alumni (or if you wanted a designs for a child's room, kitchen, bathroom, Christmas ornaments) I painted a lot of Jayhawks. I've never used embroidery paints. My paternal grandmother embroidered I have several of her pieces, she crocheted as well ... beautiful capture of the Sydney Sea Eagles.

Phyl, nice pics

blschue, your driveway looks daunting :(. .. Ross is a blessing, you both take care.

Kb, BL is right that looks like a real humdinger! You, Chris and Ollie man take care (and hopefully, you can restock your pantry for next week) We're getting more snow this Weds thru Friday... and then again next week.... 3 wolves don't have a care in the world.  :)

Took me an hour to do front driveway and roof.....now to do the decks....and marinate some chicken as today will be the last time to grill for awhile.

Later.

Lani - will do and thanks...you take care as well. We were posting at the same time..

PHYL   That's so funny I've never heard of Liquid embroidery - But I never had a loom either  LOL

CLYNN   Oh, I didn't realize she had two dolls. Can you change the earrings in the pierced ears doll?   Forgot about the doll you got on Ebay  One lucky kid  ;) ;)  That add is so funny.  In 1955 I was in 2nd grade so am not sure I would have been exposed to the "art". ;D

OLDGUY   Awww  Love your pet day  ;)   "Boo" on your night of cards. ( Kind of like not guessing the word in Wordle)  Keeps you humble.  LOL    Story of Dimi - Amazing what Lesley goes through to keep her bird family going.  I would probably be the same once you get so attached...  The over head views of the olive field - WOW

LISA   What a treasured gift from Mama.  How is she enjoying N.O?

LANI   Busy working morning for you all.  Did Aly decide about the Oregon job?   Barred owl and family at Gila Bend  LOL

((Blschue)) yep... looks like your trees shade the drive. No fun...
((KB)) ... no "whine" here... just the hard stuff. LOL !!! I texted my roof "guy" this a.m. to get on the schedule for Sat. Maybe Camper will run the shovel a bit later for the bits that don't melt.

When we drove up near the river the other day and stayed in the car, a dozen ducks and a couple geese crawled out of the water up onto the ice and walked toward us. They must be conditioned to expect handouts from folks. We disappointed them.

If you can't make it to NOLA... here is the next best thing. My Bro and SIL drove to the American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City over the weekend to join the fun. The whole session is fun, see my "relies" starting at 2:17:10  . Mardi Gras at the Museum:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKcW4DCsi3M   If you look closely you can see Bro's right hand is swollen (from a fall on the ice last week). That is why he is playing his washboard instead of the upright bass. He had to use larger thimbles.

Lani & tsk - I have a pic of the Heirloom Christening dress, but the pic does not do it justice.  This is my brother Kerry's daughter in the pic wearing it.

HAPPY MONDAY, BEAKERS!  :)


Tig, sorry about your brother's fall on the ice, and his hurt hand. I hope it heals soon. LOL on the ducks and geese coming to you for their unfulfilled food expectations. I'm sure there were some that came along later. Nice outing for you and Camper.  :)

Lani, I hope your snow is pretty, and not too troublesome. Cool about the owl and owlets at Mike's Gila Bend plant! I can just "see" your MIL's needlepoint shop, with people stopping by to sit and work on their needlepoint and visit with whoever stopped by. Very cool that you got to paint some of the design kits for sale, too!

E4E, what movie did y'all watch last night? I thought I would watch a movie last night, and never decided on which one, but it didn't matter because I ate dinner so late, the movie option didn't work. But I might watch one later this week, so if you have any suggestions, or tips on any to pass over, let me know!  ;) :D

Clynn, what a fun series of pics of Bella opening her gifts! LOL on her bag of clothes response... and on to the big stuff!  ;) :D :-* But I see from the last pic Erin sent later that she got into a bag of clothes at home. I know she is loving all her birthday gifts, and especially her new doll, and it's a twin!!  :) :-*

Tsk, I've never heard of embroidery paint, or liquid embroidery, either. I never did any embroidery, though I did a few cross-stitch pieces, which was not my thing at all. Both of my sisters were into designing and doing counted cross-stitch, back in the day. I much preferred doing needlepoint, but it's been a long time since I did any kind needlework.

Lisa, LOL, Jeff is home on Monday, so it must be a holiday!  ;) :D  That is so special to have the christening dress and smocked hat your mother made! Family heirlooms for sure! Lots of new and happy family times coming your way!  :) :-* I saw some live shots of NOLA this morning on TV... looks like the weather there is holding up for your mom... hope it holds for the parades she goes to!  Oh! I just now saw your newest post, with the photo when I tried to post just now. Gorgeous christening gown!!! and wonderful family pic!  :) :-*  And yay! for your mom parading it up!!   :D

Blschue, yikes on your icy driveway! Glad all turned out okay with that. Whew!

KB, sometimes I just have to shrug and say, "Oh well, what are ya gonna do?" LOL.  But I know this winter is wearing people there down. I've been following the expected heavy snow forecast for your area from that approaching big winter storm. Yep, it's going to be a doozy. Lay in more supplies if you get a chance to do that today, and then just try to kick back and gawk at the wonder of it all as it happens. And, don't park your car under any trees, if you can avoid it. Maybe add a snorkle to your storm supplies kit??  ;D ::) :o ;) ;) You, Ollie, and Chris, HANG IN THERE!  Maybe you can pass the time designing your "I survived the Twin Cities' Winter of '22-'23" shirt?

BL, you got that right! A hummm-dinger!!!

Phyl, thanks for the nest visits. I watched my pair of Eastern Bluebirds flitting about catching little insects in my warmer-than-average nice weather this morning, and thought of your Bluebirds. That's nice you have some of your mom's needlework. My seat at my computer desk is a bench from the foot of my parents' bed, which is covered in a floral needlepoint my mother made. I can "see" my mother's bedroom every time I sit on it.

Oldguy, pooh on your cards last night! When I used to play bridge with my best friend, and her mom, who taught me the game, if we got a crazy weird hand, her mom would always say at the end, in recap, "It was distri."  LOL... distribution, donchaknow.  ;D  So, when I read about your hand that made you lose points, I thought, "It was distri."   ;) :D


Later, gators!  :D

Oldguy too bad about the game losses. But congrats on the big ticket sales. A great Minion today, wish it were true. LOL Glad to here of the snow melt. Sure hope Dimi is well somewhere 'out there'.  No problem "Love your pet day."  ;)

Lisa Scrabble coffee; this moring when I was watching the Deocorah nests, It looked like HM/HD were clearning  N2B off for use.  But nope.  Here's a crazy thought...maybe they were doing a 'Welcome Wagon' for the Canadians.  :o   LOL
What a lovely treasure, heirloom christening gown.

Kb have a good evening  & lots of rest!   Sounds like this will be a doozy. Stock up and settle in. YOu have us to keep you company in cyber world.

Tig tks for theAmerican Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City video, I noticed  your bro's r. hand. Hope it heals well.  You/Camper always hav e the best fun.

Baz Yep! The only way to get to Tuesday is to 'do Monday'.  I jsut bet that is a lovely seat with the needle work seat cover. Very nice memories for you.

Hi TSK
See my note about when to see Bro, later in the show. The room, on the second floor of the museum, is a replica of the old Shakey's Pizza parlor from the 1960s. You should see a 5 piece band at first and then my Bro and SIL join them later on. There is some sing a long but mostly instrumental pieces.

Stony Point Nature Reserve is home to the third-largest breeding colony of African Penguins in the world and has successfully increased the breeding pairs. Stony Point Nature Reserve is situated in the coastal town of Betty’s Bay in the Overberg South Africa and lies on an old whaling station site. During 2021 it was home to approximately 1,600 breeding pairs of African penguins.

This is the bay where you will see the penguins swim and walk on the beach. Also present in the colony are three species of cormorant; the Crowned cormorant, Cape cormorant and Bank cormorant, all of which breed on the outer rocks. There are also Hartlaub’s Gulls and Kelp Gulls which forage in the colony, while the Rock Hyrax, more commonly known as the Dassie, can be seen on the surrounding rocks.

Threats to seabirds and penguins breeding at this colony include the dramatic decrease in the pelagic fish stocks and competition with commercial fisheries, predation by land-based predators such as mongoose, caracal and leopard.

So you went from # 31 on the SNOWPLOW guy's list to he's left town .. ::)
Time to find a new 'guy' for next season, of course next year you'll get 31" total.  ;)

It's looking pretty likely that MSP is going to be the bulls-eye for Winter Storm Olive in MN.

Post by: Puff on February 20, 2023, 08:14:56 PM

I've been here the last couple days, reading all your needlework memories.  I think I'll add some of  my own.

First introduction was embroidery with expert techniques from my aunt Lydia, the aunt with all the county fair blue ribbons.  Great teacher, doncha' think.  I started at 5 she and my mom told me.  When she passed I went to her funeral in Colorado hoping to gain a treasured work of hers.  Nothing, nothing at all left cuz she had been donating to church bizarres, etc.  What I found and still treasure is all the blue ribbons in a large jar.

In college I met Maribeth, the knitter.  Between class sessions there could be even an hour or more down time.  You can only watch so long before the bug gets to you.  The result was rite of passing of the goodies to the family:  afghan for bridal/wedding showers, first baby shower, new house warming.  I still have the first afghan I made for myself.   Two special memories:  when my first husband bolted he loaded up a trailer while I was a work.  One of the things he took was the afghan his grandma made for us (she was a crochet wiz).  Words were not pleasant tween her and her daughter (MIL) when she made me my own as a replacement.  More recent happy day was when there was a shower for Ton's to be great grandson.  Family members  :P ordained that because they were here for the shower and birth (they both work and live Turkey, still do)  directions said euros and gift certificates would be in order.  Oh yeah, sure, I always do as told.  What was really special was the squeal, smile, and tears when she opened the box with the afghan.  Made it white with dotted pastels.  After delivery and flight home she sent a pic of Orion (?) wrapped in his afghan and in the plane bassinet.
One more knit story is the comments I frequently receive at the vet's.  ChiChi was a real pain in the Ash when I knitted.  The clicking of the needles and dangling yarn too much temptation.  When I finished a project my next one was a smaller soft, blue, cat-sized afghan just for the Chi.  He would not let Puff (the cat) near it.  I used it too to comfort them when going to the vet, put it in the carrier.  Vet and staff seemed to think I spoiled them.

Then.....there are the needle works (crossstitch, needlepoint, etc., but never paint embroidery or weaving loom).  I liked to make and frame something special, along with the shower gift from registry just as a special token to hang or display (usually did birth date or wedding date for instance).

Now, so sad, I don't do a damn thing.  Can't make my hands join in on the projects.   :'(    :'(    :'(    I don't like this at all.

First picture was taken in 1981 and as you can see there are no trees. We planted every tree in our yard except a few maples that the squirrels planted. First year we planted 1000 pine saplings. Susie our dog was waiting for me to take the picture. She never left the yard and knew her boundaries. A neighbor said that one day I was gone the dog catcher tried to get Susie to leave the yard but she didn't. There was a lab that was running the neighborhood and the dog catcher was going on that info.

Second picture was taken in 2004. Same property but different house because of the fire in 1990.

I've been distracted for the last 2 hours by 5 cops, 2 firetrucks, an ambulance, and the fire chief across the street at the apartment complex.
My house is lit up like a christmas tree....
All but one cop left after the first hour and then fire and chief  returned!....I can't figure it out...although our fireman are mostly medics.

I'll recover when over and get back to worrying about the mega storm....

Lani - Love the pic of HM & HD  ;D  Oh my, the Owls in the shed!!!

Kb - Enjoy your delicious marinated chicken for dinner!!  We grilled marinated chicken the other day !  No fun in finding someone else to snowplow, but glad you found someone.  Good for you in staying on top of things!

Baz - Since you asked - last night we watched an old favorite of ours:  'Grease' with Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta.  Then, we turned the channel to watch 'American Idol'!  After that, it was curtains for me. ;)

Phyl - Sounds like a 'regular' work day for Jim - bet he couldn't wait to get home and relax & have a nice dinner!

Tig - Such fantastic news that the last poisoned E was released!!

BL - You give excellent weather reports and stats - especially for those in that area -  Kb  :o ::)

Tsk - Who is Lulu going to cuddle with tonight? ;) ;D

Puff - Special that you still have the first afghan you made! :)

Blschue - amazing pics of the home area!

Lori - Wow!!!! Congrats to DNN's M & D on their first egg!! ;D

Beakers have a good night.

E4E, "Grease" is such a fun movie. I watched "American Idol" last night, too. It was a fun first show for their new season.  :)

Good Night, Beakers. SED.

Congrats to Mom and Dad North on the first egg!  YAY!  Thanks Lori, for the news!  Now come on HD and HM!!

Phyl, purple sunrise at the Flyway, so serene...the frozen Mississippi from GSB... Mom North and her first precious egg.. Sauces nest... Penguin colony...you have been busy this morning! 19 right now, high 42 today.  And it's Fat Tuesday!

'Some call Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is the same observance as Mardi Gras in that observers eat richer, fattier foods as a last indulgence before Lent begins.'

Lani, you find so many sweet sleeping dogs and cats...

Lisa, what a beautiful Christening gown, a treasure for sure!

SF Bay Ospreys - Richmond performed a pretty thorough nest inspection this morning. Let's hope repairs begin soon. Rosie could arrive any day now (or in two weeks).

Good Fat Tuesday Morning Everyone

27 heading to 36 - Wind chills and gusty.  Mostly sunny

PUFF   Thanks for your recollections of those wonderful times of learning AND producing wonderful pieces for others.  That is the best part.  Aunt Lydia and the jar of ribbons  ;D

BISCHUE  1,000 trees - I'm impressed.  Looks like you bought undeveloped property and gave it your all.  How did the fire start?

KB  Did you find out what all the commotion was about across the street?

LORI   Thanks for the big announcement - First egg of the DNN season.  ;D

BAZI   LOL  We know we have been here forever but do like the idea of winding back the clock on our ages as well with the Forum reset   ;) ;)

EAGLES   Looks like Idol is in for another good season  ;D   Lulu still cuddles with Tim but she knows who to wake up in the morning to get her food ready  LOL

OLDGUY   National Pancake day at IHOP  ;D  Will suggest to Tim when he gets up  ;) ;)

LANI   Prayers for Aly's safe trip and decision making.  Funny expression on good night pup  ;D

PHYL   Still snoozing at Sauces  :)  Like the GSB pic this AM

CLYNN   thanks for the update on Richmond  :D  Come on Rosie.

tsk and all - I will see if Mama has a pic of the gown without one of the grands wearing a bib over the bodice.

kb - Thank you  :-*  Oh no, on yoru snowplow guy, but glad you got someone to snow blow.

oldguy - Thanks for links and videos :)

Phyl - The scrabble coffee pic was so Springy looking. LOL, doggie shames. Nice snaps from the cams!

tig - There use to have a Shakey's Pizza in New Orleans, loved going there as a kid.

BrokenLug - Thanks for the weather updates.

Lori - Yay for the Norths on egg #1!!!!

baz - I am like you, lost some post counts, but no biggie.  :D

E4E - Thanks  :-*

Lani - I have found and outfit, but the one I chose you need to wear in cold weather, which I thought it would be on Thursday.  Weather girl says, it is going to be 78°!!!!!   I might need to re-think!

clynn - Thank you  :-*  And, thank you for the nest updates and pics.

tsk - No, and I rewound my camera and discovered it took 3 hours in total, not 2....so odd.
One ambulance pulled away, four of five cops pulled away and the original firetruck and fire chief. Then, in short order the trucks and chief came back and more cops....what possibly could that all be about. One set of the firetrucks fireman literally walked down the street from either the firehouse up the street or a truck parked out of my view.

with all the lights and noise I think they have some 'splainin to do for me ya know ;) ;)

tig - very cute video...

Myself, I am seriously anxious about our infrastructure as also say the weather service people....like power, trees, and roofs all going kaboom...along with they're stating "life will be impacted"....LOL

Heard Andrew will be back in state Saturday night...but says he'll still be clearing driveways starting Sunday..I told him I may need him when he's done to help remove snow off my roof.

I, like BL - do worry how well a snowblower will work vs. a plow.

Funny story. Early this am, I saw my new snowblow guy put out a request for help for my city...guess who he was responding to?......LOL, my neighbor who blows their snow in the street and my driveway!...
I let him know I could have requested her in the first place, but want him to actually come...he said okay.
that would not have been funny to have him send over my terrible neighbors for a job I am requesting from him.
A good reason to peruse fb often.

Am also worried how to time getting all the snow off my small roof over my front porch...before Trevor comes, while he's here?...that much will need to come down twice and snowblowed to the yard.

TIG   That was the best piece on dogs who love snow.  esp the first one when you put the link next to " slow and steady" to find those dogs barely able to move  LOLOL.  Like when they tossed the dog and it got buried and didn't move   ;D

KB  That penguin piece was eerily "human"!

So  based on the earlier report that today was National Pancake day at IHOP  Tim and I get led to our booth and I say " so I hear it is National Pancake Day at IHOP"?  She goes and checks - " No it is next Tuesday the 28th!!!!  We ate pancakes anyway and took half home ..LOL

TRR ROBIN - unable to climb
Male | Small | Baby
San Josecito, Heredia

(https://cuddly-s3.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/pets/small/4918848-16762308119876.jpg)

Many of our followers might already know Robin, the Brown-throated three-fingered sloth.

Today, we are sharing his story. The wildlife police brought this lovely guy in December 2022 as a tiny orphan, still with his umbilical cord around his arm. During his first weeks, he received nebulization treatment after showing up signs of pneumonia. Thankfully, his lungs got better with time.

He has been under our care for a few months now.  As he grew up, our Vet team noticed Robin had some anomalies on his fingers and feet. After doing x-rays, they confirmed he has several congenital malformations that affect his mobility. Due to this, it is difficult for him to open and close his claws properly. Sadly, this makes Robin unable to climb as a normal sloth would.

Because of Robin’s condition, our Vet team has determined that the best for him is to stay in our sanctuary as a permanent resident. Here, we will give him everything he needs to have a happy and healthy life.

You can help us care for Robin as he grows up. By donating, you will be helping us to cover the costs of his treatment, food, and general care.

(1) Medical/Medicines: X-ray, bloodwork, nebulization.

(2) General Support: bucket for handling; wild leave transport costs; heading pats, goat’s milk, blankets.

tsk - thanks for the heads-up on IHOP - I have changed my post to reflect that IHOP will have their special on the 28th.  I also sent a message to National Day Calendar, so they can correct their web page as well.

A new forecast from Ryan with more details this morning - He will be doing a Live cast tomorrow.

Try these fluffy Cinnamon Date Sticky buns, you get all of the glory of a gooey sticky bun without the over-the-top sweetness. Instead of the usual brown sugar and butter filling, the buns are filled with a cinnamon-scented date purée.

On our usual long journey to the dentist today we saw 4 turkey by the side of the road. As we crossed the Mississippi starting our drive home just now we saw 2 trumpeter swan lift up from the backwaters and fly up over the bluffs. So pretty.

Clynn Very nice greetings today. Many names for Mardi Gras ( French for 'Fat Tuesday") Wasn't sure who was up on their French that's why I translated.
Seems like everyone is 'having warming temps.   Tks for SFBay Osprey update photo and SWFL kids and the amazing job  M15 is doing for this nest.
Jim just got home from running grocery errand and work. I was shy of all the ingredients for Mardi Gras Pasta. 

Lisa/Baz  Indeed, it's a given all here will loose post counts with the  new year roll over from thread and post deletions---some more than others. More important 'things' to be concerned about these days.  Looking forward to photos of christening gown.
Lisa keep the outfit

Tig safe travels home; dogs video so cute

Lani safe travels for Aly

KB penquin video , such a friend. Good infor from Tim Nelson

Oldguy tks for weathr update and correction on Nat'l Pancake Day next Tuesday.

Lori those sticky buns are too yummie; right now my eye's on the King Cake in my kitchen.  ;D

Baz such a sweet message for Puff today.   :-*     LOL there's such good food/drink for Mardi Gras

Camper filled the bird feeders and then he came up with a great idea. He grabbed a milk crate from the basement. And a box cover to put over it and a brick and put it outside under the tree and threw some cardinal friendly seed under there and within minutes the Cardinals figured out how to jump into the hole that was their size in the milk crate and get in and out freely. He positioned a long stick above it too so that they would have a place to perch.

Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink, bbgolden and Nrstooge

Hi {{Tsk}}

KB all stocked up on what's really needed? I hope so. Be safe  y'all

Eagles the Mardi Gras pasta was great. Some left in fridge and will have for Friday dinner . Begining ths Friday24th it is a 'meatless' day until Easter. So it's always fish/seafood for us that day.

Lani wish I could tell who that is...luv the Royal with the luxury cruise ship in the background.

Clynn another fun filled Wednesday with Bella. Any special plans?  :)

Lisa what a wonderful week for both families...

T-40 tks for the 'Bald Eagle Watching' info. Noticed the red alert for John Howe/Amy Ries talk.  That graphic   is pretty cool.

No Bella today, my back is hurting...I don't think I could keep up with her! I think my computer chair is part of the problem, so I just ordered a new ergonomic chair. It will be here on the 28th!

Phyl, that is an interesting picture from the Cliff View, and the next one shows the snow cover.  We are at 14, going to 34 today. A wintry mix of precipitation this morning will transition to rain and freezing rain mixed for the afternoon.  Rain and freezing rain this evening. Then a wintry mix overnight. Low 24 tonight. The edge of the big storm...  A mouse in the Decorah nest? And there's Mom North taking care of her egg with Dad North on watch...  Love your good night pic!

Lani, I wish the archiving of the forums wouldn't subtract from the totals, it's just a little thing but it's not a true post count!  Love the pic of the albatross with the huge cruise ship in the background! They have such a pretty view from the nest!

Lisa, well, the big day is almost here!  I know you are excited!  And we are all excited for you!  Oh, I went to Kohl's yesterday to find a couple of tops for Sydney's birthday (the 28th) and sort of meandered over to the kid's sections. Found the cutest pair of Skechers for Bella. I will keep them here, they will be her 'go to the park' shoes since she often comes with flipflops in the summer... And I did find a top for Sydney!

baz, love the pic of Lil Bro, looks like he was having a dirt snack! Boy, one can really see how red his hair is in this pic!  What a cutie!

HI EVERYONE

35 all day today with a mix of rain and snow

TIG  I need a visual on Campers feeder.  Any chance of a pic?   I'm confused by the perch.

T40  Thanks for all the links for live eagle watching. 

PHYL  That's one deep bole at the north nest.  :o

CLYNN   Ouch.  Hope the chair helps.  Have to be in tip top shape to keep up with Bella  ;)   You are the best shopper  LOL  Thanks for Sue's post.  Getting closer to those two making it.   Same here with the Kardashians  LOL

tig - Glad you are made it home safe.  Very cool about the mil crate cardinal feeder!

Phyl - How did your Mardi Gras pasta come out?  Adorable pics of the hummers.   Great pics from the RRP cams, and thanks for the blog post.

tsk - I am glad I am too.  I hate buying clothes, and I will feel like I am wasting money if I don't wear it.

kb - Has the snow started this morning?

E4E - You are so nice.  :)

T40 - Thanks for the bird watching days info.

Lani - I would love to cruise by the Royal island!  We are all very excited for tomorrow.

clynn - Yes, I am excited for tomorrow.  I got my outfit at Kohl's and also got me some Kohl's cash on that purchase, so I am going to go back and use it in the baby section. Thanks for the nests updates.
I hope you rest, and your back feels better soon!!

HM has spent the last hour in the nest.  Is today the day for her in this yucky weather?

the video above puts the truly ginormous size of humpback whales....into perspective.

Well, Trevor already came and went ...4-5 inches yesterday and night, but so much blowing hard to say for sure..but close.

While we have a current lull before phase 2 and then phase 3 come in today and tomorrow I'm going to try to tackle some of the back decks and the roof over front steps...

Trevor did a great job and will be back tomorrow much later in the day...and, much more snow to tackle but will give me a heads up so maybe I can take the snow off the roof to be blown when he comes into garden/yard.

My bulk order of paper towels has been delayed!...was supposed to come yesterday, but now who knows.

Ollie's nose prints will have to stay on the front bay window for now.....

Later, out to work...before the next round comes in

Phyl - Ash Wednesday - nice picture.  Our early morning news channel is showing the folks at Mardi Gra enjoying 'Fat Tuesday' yesterday!  Thanks for Amy's blog and vid of DNF's first egg of the season! ;D  Thank you for all wonderful nest pics. :)

Clynn - Sorry for your Back pain - better take care {{Clynn}}  Hope your new chair does the trick when it arrives next week!  Glad you had a good shopping trip to Kohl's  :)   I bet Sydney will love her top!   Great pic at SWFL - the kids are growing up so fast.

Tsk - Your weather sounds like a good day to stay in.  We had high gusty winds yesterday and the wind warning is in effect until 9 am this morning.

LisaG - This is the day before the Big day tomorrow!!! ;D ;D  I can feel your excitement way over here!! :-* ;D

LISA   Wouldn't it be funny if HM laid the egg tomorrow on the wedding day  LOL  What's Jeff wearing?

KB  Boy, I had to watch that a couple times - HUGE whale species.

For not only KB but this is the single best item I have ever bought.  With this cloth all you need is water - wring cloth out very dry and wipe
I use this for my inside car windows, inside house windows, mirrors - It is magic!  Use over and over and wash and reuse.  saves a ton on paper towels.

Whew, between Monday's 2 inches all done by myself and this morning's roof and decks and stairs of 4-5 inches...I am really pooped...I've had it as I've said before, LOL.

another round coming in around 3pm through tomorrow around 1pm....will total at least 10 more,maybe more?. ....
Trevor will do the driveway and then I may just give up and leave it on all the decks but for some paths in and out of the house upper and lower deck and stairs...and..leave it till spring!

I've never done that in now 24 years of living here, but from this winter's snow removal I'm actually feeling weak..

Will rest now the rest of the day....have no where to go or be for days....
Later

First egg laid at approx. 8:48 p.m.!!!

Puff - If you know how to knit that is really good for you!!!  I always wanted to, but never learned.

Puff I don't believe it is the one year anniversary of your Ton's passing. :'( :'(  {{Puff}}   As Tsk said, may all your memories be the best.  Special love & hugs for you.  :-*


After I posted my long post on knitting I thought of another story some of the GreenBay fans might like.  (Are there any here?  ;D)  My brother Rod was a die-hard GB fan. Oh, and in he early years we lived in Chgo OldTown area.  That was when Bears played in Wrigley field.  As he aged and got the money, he bought seasons tkts for Bears, but not because of Bears.  He sold all his tkts for games played EXCEPT for the two GB games.   That way he got to see his team and not be out the money for the seasons cost.  Anyone that is an avid GB fan should be in the green/yellowish colors.  Yep, I made him a sweater.  Made to order, and he was big 6'?" guy, big and muscular.  Just the right shade of green and the right shade of yellow, just the right fit.   My pay back, I got to go to one of the Bear/GB games.  (But not embarrass him by cheering too loudly for the wrong (?) side.  Not sure when I asked him if he still wore the sweater for games.  He did WHAT!!!!  Sold it at a garage sale; SIL said he got $10 for it.   :o    :o   I swear he could have gone  up to GB for a gameday breakfast and found some nutsy who would pay $200 for it.   :-\   

Another story not for GB but for Tony's fans - I do notice and so much appreciate and cherish your kind thoughts.  You all help me so often, I've sent many a prayer to the GUY above for each of you.  You all certainly will be rewarded and your thoughtfulness is being noted.

LOL, I've read this one on fb too......

Another one is something like this:

"I lost 80 dollars in my driveway before the snow fell. Come find it!".....
the comments are hilarious....

tsk - ya we will see.
The only caveat is the only reason my deck boards which are now over 30 years old have lasted is due to the fact I shovel off all moisture and stain well over time...
One year of leaving it may be okay?

I was hoping it would be a nice distraction from this storm coming but I don't think it worked...  :-\

Pure ice outside here, I would much rather have snow anyday... went to get the mail this morning and slipped and landed straight on my back and head, I put my hand on my head and there was a lot of blood.  After a mini freak out... I washed it out and dad looked at it and I said how does it look? He says, "it looks like hamburger"  ::) :o goody goody gumdrops lol  ;D  It's ok now... got a bandage on it ;)  The lights keep flickering... Be safe and don't go get the mail! Catching up in here, hope everybody is doing ok today. Prayers for all of you...

tsk - Thanks for the link to the cleaning wipes.  I am going to order those.  It would be nice if HM laid that egg tomorrow, but I would also be a lil sad.  I have watched this pair from the beginning, and I would want to be here for the first egg, and see it on LIVE feed!  Yes, I know we have rewind and videos, but its not the same.  :)

Lani - Love your Ash Wednesday pic. Thanks for the kind words on the Decorah pics, and of course I will share some pics that Jeff and I take with our cell at the wedding tomorrow.

Royal Albatross Chick's First Solo Bout At Nest Is Short And Sweet | DOC | Cornell Labhttps://youtu.be/smZyQ7YWTaMvia cornell lab bird cams

The time has come for the Royal Albatross chick to spend some time at the nest alone! Watch the female (named "L") take off from the headland, leaving her 33-day-old nestling in charge at the nest site for the first time on February 22. In this case, L quickly returned to her guard duties, but this moment is a sign that the chick has grown old enough to enter the "post-guard" stage.

Soon, the chick will spend the most of the nestling period alone at the nest area. As the chick gets bigger it will need more food. To satisfy the hungry youngster, both adults hit the open ocean in search of food and only return to land during feedings.

The Royal Cam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation and the Cornell Lab has been collaborating with DOC since 2019 to bring the cam to life. To learn more while watching, view the cam at

No... We went to drop off our taxes and get my cell phone fixed in that neighborhood. Then... a stop at the ATM so Camper can compensate his son who offered to come shovel... Hopefully tomorrow. Nice of him to offer. Now... Off to a restaurant in the close neighborhood. And maybe get a gift card there for my Bro.
Then home to rest.

That cloth looks about the same as Norwex EnviroCloth that costs $16.99 for one. Norwex is sold at parties similar to PamperedChef

Tig..... I'm a veeeerrrrry slow learner so you would have to demonstrate a lot and then my short term memory is shot so you would have to demonstrate again and again. ;D ;D

This picture was taken a few hours later. Everything was lost in the garage. The one corner of the house was where my photo albums were at and we had time to take the albums out of the house. Two young guys were driving on 35w and saw the garage totally in flames and drove to the next exit and found their way to the house. They pounded on bedroom windows to wake us up and at that time the fire hadn't started on the house. We have pictures because our camera still worked.

Clynn so sorry to read about your back--- too much sitting in one position  ;)  ---sure hope the new chair helps.  Luv Ronald Dahl
I think you're right about the tiny intruder in Decorah nest. 
Speaking of post count---I've lost 2500 posts either by the annual cleanup and or deleting unnecessary graphic (or abandoned threads/consoldation and etc.) I can under stand the basic reasoning.  But...
Tks for Sue's update/snaps. And, Minnesota Nongame Wildlife Program -two eggs in bole.  ;)


Tsk  I see you went to Mass. Good for you. I missed it and now I don't have palm ashes on my forehead. But, the commentment is in the heart. YOU know?
Charming baby chipmunk. I've seen those towels advertised.  They will remedy the 'lint/streak' issue. Think I'll make a purchase too.

Lisa like the others here, I'm excited about tomorrow. I hope Bradley and Kelly can get a way for a few days .I think that helps to get use to the 'Mr and Mrs."
If at all possible---yes post all the photos LOL
Thanks for asking about the Mardi Gras pasta. It was so delish!  I would have taken and poste d  photos if  I had thought anyone was interested.
And, even tho we had seconds, there was enough for another serving  which is in fridge for Friday. Don't know what Jim will be eating that day. LOL  Perhaps I'll so a seafood boil  :-\
tks for the Decorah photo update.

Kb so glad Trevor came and help you even though it'll be piled up again. I know you will---please becareful with the snow on decks.  Good idea to just clear the space you absolutely need.  ROTFL  $80 come find itl

Eagles thank you. Glad you enjoy them. I luv to share what I see nest/caam watching Maggie says 'Meow' to Star.

Tig hope you're feeling better;   LOL  Nextdoor; take it easy .

Lori tks for the Royals update. Luv to watch them walk.  :-*  Ahhh lessons in growing up and responsibility. Also, DNN.

As of 2 hours ago we had 0.71" of rain and it was still pouring.  Sure glad it isn't snow  ;D  We are holding at 34 degrees.

LORI   Oh NO   Black ice.  Watch yourself for 24 hours and if necessary go to the ER.  Hope you are OK in the AM  Ice might keep the swelling down if you haven't used it already.  ( goody goody gumdrops - now that is another older expression)  LOL   Thanks for the Norths update.  Not an unfamiliar sight for us.

LISA  So you will be away all day starting when?  We will be excited for the report  ;D

TIG  So it sounds like you can get around pretty easy?  Thanks for the pics.  I get the perches now but do think the pattern of the holes would be big enough to let in any small varmint?  mice?  squirrels? At least the seed says drier.

KB   LOLOL  6' fence = 3' fence.  Love the "lost" $80  ;D

BISCHUE   I didn't realize you were in the house at the time it happened.  Wow - if not for those passer bys having to find there way to your house  I hate to think about it.

PHYL  It was just an Ash Wed service led by the deacon with readings, songs Our Father and final blessing followed by ashes before you left.  SRO at our mission church down the road.

Lani - Are you having snow?  We've had very high gusty winds yesterday and today - trees are down in surrounding areas;  Ben Lomond, Aptos, Santa Cruz.   Okay, just read your update on the weather in your area.

Kb - Thank goodness for the snow blowing Travis got done!  Watched  'The Today Show' this morning and they explained the weather in your area and I just have to say you are doing an awesome job of taking care of your premises during this terrible snow/ice winter.

Tsk - I picked up my Mom and went to church (but not the early morning Mass) and received ashes - no pressure for anyone else tho, everyone to their own and also the weather plays a part.

Puff - Although you were addressing Clynn, I agree with you.

Tig - You have a wonderful brother!

Lori - Oh no - are you alright??  Sounds like a bad fall you took.   Wow, that pic of DNN nest before the cam went out is amazing (scary too).   Sweet royal albatross picture! ;D

LisaG - Wishing you & Jeff a beautiful day tomorrow at Bradley & Kelly's wedding.  Hugs for All  :-* 

Hi Baz! :)

Well, the storm is over for us in Iowa City - we had some ice accumulations on the trees that stayed all day, but ground, roads, decks and cars all melted off by 1pm - about .4 inches of rain for the day - no snow....  Temps held from 32 to 34 all day and expected to remain there until tomorrow afternoon - dropping to 14 by Friday morning.

Royal Albatross Chick's First Solo Bout At Nest Is Short And Sweet | DOC | Cornell Labhttps://youtu.be/smZyQ7YWTaMvia cornell lab bird cams

The time has come for the Royal Albatross chick to spend some time at the nest alone! Watch the female (named "L") take off from the headland, leaving her 33-day-old nestling in charge at the nest site for the first time on February 22. In this case, L quickly returned to her guard duties, but this moment is a sign that the chick has grown old enough to enter the "post-guard" stage.

Soon, the chick will spend the most of the nestling period alone at the nest area. As the chick gets bigger it will need more food. To satisfy the hungry youngster, both adults hit the open ocean in search of food and only return to land during feedings.

The Royal Cam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation and the Cornell Lab has been collaborating with DOC since 2019 to bring the cam to life. To learn more while watching, view the cam at

https://www.doc.govt.nz/royalcam

Lori, I love this family. This baby is very confident little thing....  Be sure to post this in the Royal Albatross link.  ;D

Lisa I hope you can  take the day ...get ready for your son's wedding . Allowing all the wonderful memories of his life to resurface; enjoy every single moment of the ceremony. A wedding aside from the signatures,  vows and  the pronouncement ...is essentially a 'party'.  ;)

Reading all the reports and watching local news, it looks it looks like we got away from all the serious stuff.  No ice, wind not bad yet, rain - no puddles on the road, didn't even get down to 32 (now 36).  Here I didn't even roll out garbage containers for pickup today.  Didn't have much of anything in either one.  I'm wondering how you made out tsk.  (She's a bit north of me.  Closer to O'Hare.  No massive delays/cancellations there.)

Big road delay/crash on I55 half mile from me has one direction away from city closed for rush.  West and northwest areas ice power outage.  Strong winds promised (?) for later today.  Love working at home.

Hoping for good weather for the day, for the family Lisa.  Enjoy!  Enjoy!

26 right now, high today is 25!   :o :o We got some freezing rain last night, no snow.

Phyl, my back feels good, it just needed some rest. Wow, what an interesting picture, the octopus with the tiny babies!  The hummer babies are about to burst out of their nest!

Puff, Lani, I also agree, the book banning is getting ridiculous.

Lani, sounds like you have had quite the mix of weather! Just cold here, some freezing rain last night. I love the microfiber cloths too, I have the Nano Towels. A friend at work recommended them, and I even bought a second set!  Now I see they have a Nano Glove! I use them all over, and they are wonderful for the car windows! Honey has her favorite place where she can watch the birds and she always sneezes on the sliding doors, so I have to clean it often. Our little Albatross baby is growing up! I hate thinking of them being left alone, but that is their way and it seems to work! At least it does in the protected area they are in.  Sweet cat, wonder what he is reading...Bob the Street Cat?

kb, the 3 foot fence...  ;D ;D  Any idea how much more snow you got?

blschue, what a terrible picture of your house...very sad.  I shudder to think what might have happened if those guys had just gone on by when they saw the fire... When did this happen?  Glad you had time to get your pictures out!

I checked the Decorah nests, Mom North looks good, not a terrible amount of snow. We have seen worse!  I will always remember the first year of watching Decorah, (when we could still watch at work.) I got to work and brought up the cam site. It was all white, covered with snow and we were all holding our breath... as the snow slid down on the camera lense we could see both Mom and Dad together protecting the very young eaglets.  It was April 19, 2011.

oldguy, very interesting, watching the beaver get his log!  Maur and Hana snuggling....

Lori, oh no Girl!!! You aren't supposed to fall down! How are you feeling, did you go to the urgent care?  And you still managed to get those pictures for us... You take care!!

Lisa, hoping you and Jeff have a wonderful day!

tsk, I love the microfiber towels too! I am going to order the glove today, I think it will be wonderful for the inside of the car window!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

37 heading to 42  cloudy with blustery winds

Hope everyone made it through the storms OK

PHYL   Right " hunky-dory"  ;)  Sweet hummers ready to embrace the world  :)  Underwater photography has always impressed me.  Sea dragon and eggs  :o :o

OLDGUY   Enjoyed the beaver piece.  Amazing creature.   Cute cuddle with Maru and Hana  ;)   Well Brandon is on his way  ;D   Liked your "good night"  :)

PUFF   Beavers are the chainsaws of the animal world  ;) ;)  Haven't caught all the news yet but think our Northern and Northwest suburbs took a hit with power outages.  Sure wish I had my rain gauge out to get the final rain total.

CLYNN  Very inspirational and positive saying this AM.  :-*  I've not heard of those Nano towels. ???  Sure do remember 2011   Pileated is stunning.  Great shot by Dana

CONGRATULATIONS BRADLEY AND KELLY

MN DNR nest....incubating 2 eggs and snow not over yet...pic an hour ago.

Have no idea how much snow we've gotten since yesterday morning's lull...started around 3 pm and hasn't stopped yet...I removed 5 inches before yesterday's start of round 2 and I shoveled 2 on Monday.
the reason it won't be accurate measurement even by my eye is the wind drifts...winds have been strong most of this storm..
Apple Valley has 18 inches at the moment...just south of me.

All I know is I can't open 2 of 3 doors...one is protected by a roof and 5 sweeps last night for Ollie. that's the front door I'll be able to open..

It's tough to own a dog that does need to pee..

At some point today/tonight Trevor will snowblow my driveway....the rest might have to wait as my other thumb is swollen today.

Of all the joints in my body, thumbs are not ones I'd think to worry about shoveling, LOL...but here we are.

Have a great and happy day today Lisa.

Morning eagle buddies

LisaG - My thoughts are with all of you on this lovely, special wedding day for Bradley & Kelly {{hugs for all}} :-*

Oldguy - Great links as always; love the Quarantine kids singing Forever Young. :)  Wow the close up on the Beaver is amazing and he does it so quickly  :o

Lani - I think we are having similar weather right now; Our nearby Mts got some snow yesterday, and it was windy.  Today we are getting some showers; temp is 36.  Like your good night pic.

Phyl - Enjoy your warmth today  8)  Love the Aryana hummers  :)

Puff - Stay inside and keep warm  :)

Clynn - Like all the pics  :)

Tsk - Pretty wedding cake for Bradley & Kelly!

Kb - MN DNR pic  :o ::)   Thank goodness Trevor will be over there later.  Poor Ollie - hope that weather subsides real soon.

Lori - How are you doing this morning? {{Lori}}

Morning Tig, BL, Baz, T40  :)

Beakers have a nice day.

Do they know there will be hundreds attending their wedding event today?  Virtually that is. Scary thought.

Rain here I'd guess about 1".  I noticed Tues when I made feeder fillings that the heated water bowl was down to almost-gone range.  Checked this a.m. and it looks about 1", very unofficial.  Stowed my guage, too.  Puddles seen in grass; dip in front sidewalk has water.  Pics on WGN an hour ago showed icy trees etc, damages from ice and wind, fog - I will not complain.  Wind is suppose to be bad this afternoon.  Hang on to your capados.

Ha!...Trevor is here.

This storm is tough on machinery.....Last night his truck broke and this morning his big snowblower broke.
So, he's hand shoveling near the house, using a smaller snowblower and taking his time. Also using his Dad's truck to haul his equipment.

I asked if he could come back in a few days to hand shovel my decks and he said he'd see what he could do. Probably..

In the meantime I'll try to get at least one of the doors in back open enough for Ollie or he'll now use the front.

Let's hope his small snowblower will work out....yep, it just started...he said it takes about an hour or twice as long

WOW  kb Fox weatherman, local in Minn said 16" there, 12" west of town, but I think you're north of Minn?  Also not good news for -20 wind chill tonight with strong winds.

I also know thumb/hand conditions.  Use right thumb, which doesn't bend and is calcified, to open flip-top cans.  Not funny on my end.  Both hands no longer useful.  That's why I donated away my knitting/needlepoint/craft stuff.  Yep, I know your issues here.

On the positive side - unlike Ollie - I don't have a peeing problem.  I for sure don't have to use outside.    ;D

Was glad for the team we had yesterday and will hopefully have today. I felt great last night actually. Taking a couple pain pills and applying "heat" rub to my low back and knees before I went out really helped.
KB... glad you have help. Hugs.
Lisa... Have a wonderful day!
Lori... How are you doing?
All... Be safe
TSK... The openings are just big enough for the Cardinals to enter. The brick will hopefully prevent the squirrels from moving it.

Puff - I'm right on the boundary of South Minneapolis..the further south you go in Hennepin county, the more snow you got.

I need to go out sometime today and remake Ollie paths in front...a semicircle from driveway...snow blowed in..or, Ollie will have to pee and poo on the driveway!..

Getting real cold tomorrow so best find a way today..wind blowing hard now, snow off roofs blowing back down on my driveway...but basically one could back out or drive in...don't know why anyone would do that but?

I estimate we have received 17 inches over the three day period. Here are some pics from this a.m.
1. View from our back door toward driveway. You can see how much snow is on top of the recycling bin, along side the lighted deer sculptures and drifted over the sidewalk (the orange safety cones mark uneven sections of walk that heave up or down during severe temperature change)... all of which were totally clear yesterday afternoon.
2. View from our kitchen window of the scene under our large evergreen. You can see how much snow is on top of the new ground feeder, even though it is under the tree. A Junco on the bank.
3. One bird (sparrow?) inside the feeder, one outside.

KB - there is fun... until something awful happens. Yipes

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

{{{Tig}}} The new ground feeder is perfect, you and Camper are St Francis angels, bless you both... take care of yourself too.

Eagles, love your morning gif!  ;D I felt like my good night cat last night. I had just completed my committee reports and clicked send. I took a quick shut eye on my desk before I started my Beak post. Then I kept cat napping throughout LOL! We woke up to snow, the sun is trying to break through the clouds, we're supposed to get more.

Tsk, pretty cake for Bradley and Kelly  :)

Kb, YIKES! I pray it stops snowing soon for MNR eagles and all! ... good luck Trevor and Ollie  :)

Clynn, glad your back is better... I wish R23-3 would stay away. She kicks the eaglets, takes their food away, no sign she will accept Harriet's eaglets.  :'(. No peace or willingness to share or to be positive at that nest.

Phyl, no more room at the inn for the hummer babies.... interesting article/ pics about the Sea Dragons and Octopus.

Puff, interesting Beaver video, the sounds, look of determination and looking up at the camera was fascinating to watch.

TRR NEW ARRIVALS:

Pele, a three-fingered sloth: arrived as an orphan baby. She likes different kinds of leaves. Ficus leaves are her favorites!

Sloth Pre-School Updates:

Geo, the two-fingered sloth: Is climbing more and being more active after he finishes his treatment. We are happy to see him feeling better.
Coco, the two-fingered sloth: She is doing great. She can’t be far from Geo, as usual.
Landon, the two-fingered sloth: He’s doing great. He will spend more time practicing his climbing skills in our rehabilitation areas.
Robin, the three-fingered sloth: Started physical therapy. We’re giving him daily massages and making sure he practices climbing constantly. We hope this will improve his mobility.
Pax, the two-fingered sloth: He is growing and gaining weight.
Liana, the two-fingered sloth: She is doing great, growing and gaining weight as well. She and Pax like to play and explore!
Roo: He is almost ready to get out of the incubator; we'll keep him a little more to ensure he’s stable.

In Loving Memory:
We are sad to share that these babies did not make it.
Tigger: has passed away due to necrotic intestines from the electrocution.
Kanga: has passed away due to a cardiorespiratory failure.

Feeding time - Mine, No Mine!  :-*

Scattered openings in the clouds this morning to get some sun...  Temps have started to drop, down to 27 now - clouds are forecast to move out, so the temps will drop quickly after sundown - forecast of 12 by morning.  No ice left on the trees/shrubs and cleared surfaces are dry.

EAGLES  Cute "bee gif"

TIG  Guess I did not have the right perspective on the hole size.  Good idea then.  Thanks for the pics.  The recycle bin tells the story!  Lots of drifting.  You have a lot of feeders.  Tim just got a new one and put alligator clips on the top to hold the lid down.  Squirrels moved the clips up far enough to start eating through the plastic.

LANI   Awww  Penguin family  :D  Great article on Royal "what's next" to keep for reference.  Thanks for the TRR update , the always cute babies and that gorgeous close up of a Toucan?

Lisa one of the best wedding photos I've seen. Just enough 'funky' with the bright red shoes.  Luv Kelly's dress. They make an extremely attractive couple.  ;)

Last evening I had been watching Sauces nest.
Audacity was on it making some 'improvements' like widening the bole opening and increasing it's depth.
More eggs to come?  Who knows.
Here are some snaps.

Phyl, that ice on the cam lense!  Wow! Hope it gets some sun on it today!  The falcon looks like  king looking over his kingdom. Cute coffee cup cake! Thanks for the link to Amy's Blog, it's nice to have it delivered each morning! Sauces looks good, hopefully another egg or two? Their cam is so much better this season! Always love seeing the falcon box on the GSB Cliff...

Puff, I thought I saw what might be an egg in the second video, just a fleeting glance, but then I heard squawking on the cam and HM was wingwhacking something and I didn't see anything...unless it was behind her?...

Lani, what a cute good night picture! Oh, the sweet albatross baby is alone!

Lori, thanks for the videos of Decorah and Decorah North! How are you feeling after your slip and slide fall?

Lisa, love the pictures of Bradley and Kelly, love the red touches! They look like a young couple in love!  I remember when Bradley got his hair cut, how caring of him to grow it for someone else...  Your pictures are all good, the picture of you and Jeff with Bradley and Kelly and her folks on FB, WOW, her Dad is TALL!

tsk, 6 here, high of 19 today. Maybe some light snow. 31 for tomorrow and then 3 days of 40 degrees!  Something to look forward to!  ::)

MN DNR - Nancy and the nest both look much better this morning!

tsk - YES, DROOL on that banana split!  I am glad I stuck with my lil outfit, even tho they kept saying it was going to be 78 yesterday, it was cold in the morning.  Kelly's mom and step-mom both had boots on.  Kelly's ring looks like a sapphire, but it is not.  It is a Blue Sandstone ring. Bradley's band made of the same. 
Blue sandstone is a man-made gemstone that consists of quartz sand. To be specific, it is made by heating and melting the sand. Afterward, the melted sand is mixed with other ingredients, including cobalt, feldspar, manganese, chromium, and copper. The result is a vibrant stone with eye-catching colors.

Lani - Have a safe trip to valley, and safe travels for Aly!  Thanks for the kind words.  Kelly's Dad and step-mom are moving to Sedona.  They are building a house there. 

clynn - Thank you for the kind words, and YES, her Dad is tall!  Jeff and I were the short people.  ;D  Thanks for the nest updates.  I bet those pies from the Church ladies are delicious!

Life for awhile will still be about snow removal.
But, but...it's not above zero yet but maybe later...need to take snow off roof at least as:

Of course we are getting rain next week which will turn our piles and any left over snow into concrete and unmovable....

While waiting for a few more degrees of temp increases I found this:

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

10 years ago also including George Harrison's son....

Prince comes in half way and by that time I'm weeping....it's so dang good.

BL - thought you'd like it too.

kb - That's a stellar rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".  8)

I found a snowfall total (02/20 - 02/24) of 15" from a CoCoRahs (https://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=aboutus) weather station exactly 2 miles SW of your location.
They are a community-based network of volunteers and are trained "spotters" if you will.
Their recordings of rain, hail and snow are usually very accurate if they do it correctly.

Yup, sounds about right to me!.....don't think it includes Monday's 2 incher though...but to me I"M A GOING TO ADD it....as I removed that 2 front and back..

Thanks again all you Beakers for the B-Day wishes .. but the cakes ..    ;D ;) 8)
Pip and I are going to have to climb a Mtn & paddle a LK right soon.   8)

This here fireplace in the Catskills is just getting warmed up ..
The vino is uncorked breathing in the Smokey cabin air and exhaling it's real grape for the 1st time ..
Some good ol' picker friends just showed up to serenade ..

I'm hazarding me a guess here, but the joint could become lively by Pips B-Day at midnight.
I'm always 3 years older than Pip for 24 hours and she never forgets to remind me of this.   :P    :-*

Here's to our boots may they never grow moss until we choose.

psst bro - could you gently put another oak quarter on the fire as you head past the hearth towards the bourbon and mead this wine ain't cutting it- Danke.

LisaG - Nice of you to explain the making of Bradley's & Kelly's wedding rings - so lovely and so special - and nice of you to have shared so much of this blessed event with us here in the Beak.  :-*    In seeing how tall Kelly's Dad is, reminded me of my Dad, he always stood out in the family photos; as he was 6' 5". :)

Clynn - How is your Back feeling - hope you are taking care.

Lani - Hope your trip to the Valley was a nice one  :)

Kb - Rain next week is something you all don't need - sure hope you guys start getting some Spring warmth soon.  I bet Ollie can't wait to be able to be warm outside!   Thanks so much for "While my guitar gently weeps" - Awesome!!!!

Tig - Hope you are relaxing after removing snow earlier today.

Oldguy - Glad you will have a temp of 50 in a few days.  :)

Phyl - Since I have seen my hubby deal with chronic pain from Shingles, I have to say I am glad you & hubby went and got your shot (it is a two shot vaccine - given between several months).

Tsk - Is Lulu still dividing up her time between you & Tim? ;)

BL - Sounds like a perfect birthday!!  Love those boots!  ;D

Hi Puff!

Hi Lori - How are you doing sweet girl? Hope you are not too badly bruised from the other day - please be taking care of yourself.

Beakers have a good night - stay warm - sleep well.

Happy Bird Day BL - hope it's a good one!

Life for awhile will still be about snow removal.
But, but...it's not above zero yet but maybe later...need to take snow off roof at least as:

Of course we are getting rain next week which will turn our piles and any left over snow into concrete and unmovable....

Morning all and Happy soon to be weekend.

Lisa, like everyone said, the photo of Bradley and Kelly's hands with the roses is the most special. She had lovely hands, the rings are perfect.. They look so in love and happy! Sedona is a beautiful special city to settle in.

Eagles, It was a quick trip to the valley, poor Dewey misses his mom.... Our area is 3 " above average as far as moisture. Which is great for the reservoirs and forests for this summer. It's suppose to snow on Sunday.

Tig, I hope you a peaceful rest after your busy day.

Kb, great job on snow removal.

Oldguy, Great snow removal shovel! Amazing how much work he did in 40 minutes and he didn't fall.... great video of Buddy Rich and Lewis! ... beautiful Siberian cat doing flips and without getting a treat too!  ;D

BL, love the boots!

Pleasant walking snow refreshed the woods just so perfectly today on the way in.

Park/Shh/Walk  look around
1st thing noticed 100 yards in is the virgin white perfect snow on the pines with the golden sun hitting it just so.
Amazing bird life and mammals greeted us with healthy curiosity.   

We always Walk up the 1/2 mi 'driveway' before mechanically coming up to cabin.
Back down 1/2 mi to the necessary conveyance.
Slow quite machine we roll up to here.
Always.

The critter's here about these woods are about as in tune with us as a party at this cabin can be.   8)

They'll get over it grudgingly and so will we.   :)

WWW weird wacky weather continues ..

I've roamed SoCal on foot enough to know that one doesn't see snow by the foot like this very often.

We are at 12 right now, looking forward to 44 and sunny today!

Phyl, I would give that cat a hug!  Honey Honey gets up on my computer desk and climbs onto my shoulder. Then she starts purring...love it! Please, an egg at the North nest today! I love closeups of cats, they are so mystical...

Lani, poor little Dewey...when will Aly be back?  I hope you get all the snow you want, need to keep the forest lush and green and without fires...How is Mike doing?

BL, those old mossy boots! Love how you describe getting to the cabin... I can close my eyes and picture it...

kb, wonderful rendition of My Guitar Gently Weeps...

E4E, my back is back to normal, it just needed a rest from getting pulled or twisted or whatever it was I did!

Lisa, did the 'kids' go somewhere for their honeymoon?

Phyl - How did you do with your Shingles shot? Loved your good night pic.  Thanks for the RRP blog post from Amy.  Good Caturday stuff already.  :)

BrokenLug - Sounds like you had a nice birthday, doing what you love. Love the potted boots!

Lani - Thank you!  Did Aly made it to her interview and how did it go?

E4E - Wow, your Dad was tall. 

oldguy - Yikes, not another winter storm!

clynn - No, they didn't, as Kelly does not get any kind of maternity leave at her work, so she is trying to save her time for when baby comes.  They said, maybe after the baby they will do something.  :)

((tsk)) - Hope you are still feeling good!

Morning....

Lani - "No more zip in my doo-dah".......hilarious...

Carry on BL and Pip!...

from Daniel B in Minneapolis....this made me chuckle.

"How does this make sense?

Six inches of snow in the forecast for Monday. Am I the only one who finds this unacceptable? I mean, c'mon! I've only just dug myself out from the last storm. I see no reason for another one to be scheduled so soon.

Why can't the city allow more time between significant snow events? I'm sure there are snowflakes out there (ha!) who will argue that snow serves some important ecological purpose. But that's no reason to inconvenience everyone. Give me a break!

A couple of constructive suggestions: why fifteen inches of snow all at once? Wouldn't three snowfalls of five inches each be easier on everyone? Also, why does it have to snow on the streets and sidewalks we all depend on to get around? Surely, it would be better to restrict snowfall to wooded areas, parks, and lawns. Or could it be the people who run things in this city are in the pocket of Big Plow?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's fed up with the way snow is being managed this year. Do better, Minneapolis!"



I haven't finished the last storm.....trying to stay up on it, today and tomorrow.

First of all - Loved your alternate ideas of handling snow events, KB  Very inventive.  Do you think either God above or the MSP street maintenance crew were listening?  NOT

I also wonder how many got a gander of the dis-interested feline in the foreground of OG's post. . .

Lani - Awe, Dewey missing his mom;  I can only imagine that he keeps looking at the door for her to walk in any minute.  At least he is in good loving hands  :-* :)

BL - Sounds like you & Pip are celebrating your birthdays in the perfect way - have lots of fun - keep warm! :)

Phyl - Like your cat pic - crossed eyes and pink tongue  :)  Interesting DNN nest - as long as all is ok - sounds good!  How are you & Jim doing today after your shot(s) yesterday?    BTW, I did give yesterday to RRP for the special donation day!

Clynn - Love your post and gifs this morning  :)  Glad your Back is 'normal' again!

Oldguy - Perfect cake for Pip!  Thanks for links!  Loved Cotton Pickin Kids!  Great to see the awesome progression of Notre Dame Cathedral.  Maru so fun as always!

Kb - I feel for ya - Spring temps need to get to your area SOON!

Tig - Have a fun day at the ice races!!  Lol 'porta potty' I know what you mean - I've done the same!

Tsk - Since my Dad was tall and my Mom short, I fell in between their heights, as I am 5'7".  My sister is 5'5".

Good morning Lori, Puff, Baz :)

Beakers have a nice day.

tsk I know what you mean re chairs-already made plans to recover dinette chairs.  They have been customized/claimed.  Fortunately they're leatherette of some sort.  Unfortunately, formal dining chairs are leather.  I'll hope to get to them before the winter holidays.

BL  PIP Very convenient that you both scheduled meeting someone who has birthday so close to you.

tsk  OG I got the trip bug long time back when news started coming out about the work being planned/done on Notre Dame.  Ton and I did an April in Paris maybe 20 years ago.  But, as a matter of fact, I do remember those two small crowded shops in the background of the pic of the square.  They've since renamed to square to Jean Paul II Square, previously was Parvis (courtyard) de Notre Dame.  But again I digress. . .  When I read of the changes and plans being  done I put it back on my bucket list.

Said it before, but needs to be repeated -  LuLu is one pretty kitty, tsk.  (And so are all the hairs paws prints you find.)

Love the saying on your BD card to Pip- "Another trip around the sun"
I don't think I've ever heard of it in that term before.

Tsk, sweet Lulu looks cozy and content. She's growing into a very beautiful cat.

Puff, that cat in the video.  ;D

Tig, I hear you about porta potties! Have a great time and safe travels!  ;D

Kb, great morning pic and so true! Sadie glares at me like that!  ;D

Oldguy, lovely birthday post for Pip... that is one chilled cat in the Cotton Pickin Kids video.

Lisa, Aly was picked up at the airport by the staff. They're having the interview today, as well as driving Aly around Medford, etc. She'll be home 7pm tomorrow. We decided to leave Mike's car at the airport for Aly just in case it's snowing in Payson. It has 4 wheel drive and it will be better to handle on the N87 to Payson.

Clynn, Aly will be back tomorrow evening. Mike's fine, I hope all is well with Ed too... "hunting party, can opener" LOL. love the black cat.

Phyl, thanks for DNN update on RRP blog. Trust the eagles.

BL, I hope you and Pip have a great birthday weekend!  Thanks for weather chart. We were just talking about the snow over LA, then I saw your chart and there's Payson.

Just after intermission and saw the greatest thing... 4 ATC (all terrain cycles) were racing when the first two got wide in a turn in front of us and one ended up wheels up on top of the snow bank and the rider flipped over in the snow. While they got themselves righted and the motors restarted, the third and fourth riders did a uturn at the end of that straightaway and returned to the other two. The official came over and restarted their race from there. Camper and I were almost in tears. What great sportsmanship!

CLYNN  That was great news for a day at SWFL  Let's hope it keeps up and R23 Godzilla female leaves the nest alone.  Speaking of Swampy I read today that Louisiana categorizes alligator as FISH so Catholics can eat it on Fridays  LOL  Hope Becky and Jennifer can find that one section of time without snow to get back home safely.  Rough sailing this time of year.  How long have they been at Mom's?  2-3 weeks?  Love the cats on the car hood.  Maybe nice and warm?

LISA  Is that true about Swampy?

PHYL   I remembered when you reported Maggie in your chair and I too have had bum on the edge seating arrangements  LOL  Nice caturday posts today  :D   Never noticed homeowner had "meow" in it  LOLOL

Tsk - I looked up what clynn said about Swampy, and it must be true.  The Archbishop of New Orleans declared alligator as fish.   :D

Phyl - Good Caturday pics and post, and good luck with your new nails. 

Clynn - Thanks for the SWFL update.  That looks like a Louisiana swamp in your pic.  Great Caturday pics. 

Baz -  ;D ;D

Lisa/Tsk so during Lent we can eat a gator.
I searched 'What does alligator taste like?"
https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+does+alligator+taste+like&qs=AS&pq=what+does+alliga&sc=10-16&cvid=13EFF44F3A5C4B0BAA4A73279FE86F1F&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=1&lq=0 (https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+does+alligator+taste+like&qs=AS&pq=what+does+alliga&sc=10-16&cvid=13EFF44F3A5C4B0BAA4A73279FE86F1F&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=1&lq=0)

The very first result was 'chicken'. Saying that the meat
taste alot like chicken. Then second was quail.

Then I got to thnking and asked' Is alligator classified as amphibian or reptile/"
https://www.bing.com/search?q=alligator+is+a+reptile+or+amphibian&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN
 (https://www.bing.com/search?q=alligator+is+a+reptile+or+amphibian&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN)

Then I took a another step farther and asked  "Are reptiles considered fish?"
https://www.bing.com/search?q=are+fish+reptiles+or+amphibians&qs=SSA&pq=%22are+reptiles+considered+fish%3f%22&sk=RI1SSA4&sc=10-31&cvid=98A15D9586BF4EA4B80F83BE179EBCE7&FORM=QBRE&sp=6&lq=0

Nah! I'm gonna pass on the entire 'gator' issue as it's not really fish.

Okay. Now that buring issue  is settled...LOL

Clynn, uplifting post about SWFL eaglets. Bless M15, working hard to feed his eaglets.... Swampy  :o ... fun Caturday pics.... Safe travels for Becky and Jennifer trying to get around the mountains. Looks like they want to avoid Colorado. They have beautiful roads to travel. 

Tsk, Lisa, Phyl yep, I read the article about alligators.  "Alligator is permissible to eat on Fridays of Lent, the archbishop of New Orleans assured a conscientious parishioner, and his approval has been backed by the national bishops' conference."  I'm not planning on changing my trout or salmon on Friday for gator  :-\

Phyl, cute Caturday pics

Good night!

Ladies, Tsk, Lisa and Lani,  Gotta be nutz...I'm not eating a reptile as a substitute for meat  or fish on Lenten Fridays or anytime.  I follow the science. And, God  doesn't classify reptiles as 'fish'.   I'm never giving up, shrimp, crab, lobster, salmon, perch, catfish. As  I  stated yesterday .  For me, end of story.  :)

Hi Lilbro

Hi Karen, Pink, bbgolden and Nrstooge

Lani, OMG, finally an egg at N1! I kept wanting to tell HM to get back on that egg! And she did! 11 years...that's when we were all much younger, it will be so much fun to have the camera views that we all loved!

Phyl, what a lovely picture of HM this morning! And we now know there is an egg under her... There's that little falcon box getting sunshine on the side of the cliff! Well, aligator meat is on my never list...  ::) Cute goodnight pic, I can relate!

Lisa, I haven't had nail polish on for years!  I have never had them done in a salon!  Catfish, crab and shrimp, yum! I would take over aligator too. Earlier in my career I made several trips to Frederick MD and ate at a wonderful restaurant downtown. I found that I do prefer the crabcakes without pieces of shell!

tsk, I found the nest history!

Decorah Eaglets and Outcomes
2022   N3 failed. 
2021   N3   3 – D37, D38, D39   All three eaglets fledged successfully.
2020   N2B   3 – D34, D35, D36   All three eaglets fledged successfully. We are following D35 and D36 via satellite.
2019   N2B   2 – D32, D33           Both eaglets abandoned the nest earlyfollowing an intense blackfly swarm. Both were cared for at SOAR and have since been released.
2018   N2B   3 – D29, D30, D31   All fledged.
2017   N2B   3 – D26, D27, D28   All fledged. We are following D27 via satellite.
2016   N2B   2 – D24, D25, D25     was struck by a car and died. We are following D24 via satellite.
2015   N2   3 – D21, D22, D23   All fledged
2014   N2   3 – D20, D19, D18   All fledged. D18 and D19 were electrocuted.  D20 is still alive and living at SOAR.
2013   N2   3 – D17, D16, D15   All fledged
2012   N1   3 – D14, D13, D12   All fledged. D12 and D14 were electrocuted.
2011   N1   3 – E1, E2, E3   All fledged. We last saw D1 in July of 2014. Her current status is unknown
2010   N1   3 – Not named   All fledged
2009   N1   3 – Not named   All fledged
2008   N1   2 – Not named

Southwest Florida Eagle Cam
Rogue Eagle #3 (abbreviated to R23-3) has been around this week and today (yesterday) landed in the nest to snack on a fish M delivered. And to everyone’s surprise, offered bites to E21! It wasn’t perfect and had some heated moments but very cool to see. Note: E22 got a private feeding by Dad hours later. All crops were full! ☺️

Hi guys! I'm here Clynn!  Posting some babies after being inspired by Lani's "lab" this morning.  Oh yea, and there is a baby donkey for Bazi ;) Thanks e4e and ALL of you asking about me... that fall on the ice has happened before, this time was just bruising on my arm & hip and a couple cuts, not a big deal.  The cut of my head is healing along with the bump. lol :) Next time I will wear some proper shoes, (I was wearing my house sketcher summer flip flops to get the mail) what a DORK!  I hope everyone is doing ok and I am off to Grandma's house today.  She will be 100 in April! Bless her heart 💜 Take care love & hugs and prayers Lori

Amy was saying that the last time an egg was laid in Nest 01 was in 2012 on 02/24/2012. 11 years ago.

We all 1st started watching N1 in 2011 - "The year of the Diva" - She was D10 - laid on this day 02/26/2011.  8)

I think the logical thing to do is name HM & HD's offspring .. H1, H2, H3 etc ...
We still have Mom & DM2 making a new nest (N4) over by Wally World so Mom's lineage should remain .. D40, D41, D42 ...
That's right if Decorah Mom lays an egg this year and it hatches it will be the 40th documented eaglet she has produced.   :)  ;D  8)

LORI  What a great idea for Sunday to see all those darling babies - Love the polar bear and the red mittens. ;D  Thanks much for your health update. Glad all is healing and yes - footwear???  ::) ::) ::) WOW  100 yrs for Grandma coming up.  That is something special.  Enjoy your time with her.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

I'm so happy about HD and HM with their first egglet laid in the previous N1 nest location!!   :-* :-*  I hope we will get some "people on the ground" reports before long about Mom Decorah and DM2's nesting season this year, and hopefully their nest will succeed this year, and we will get to see some pictures of them, too!  :-* :-*  Glad to see some encouraging news from the SWFL nest, too.  :-* :-* to M15 - M for Mighty, I would say!  :)

LOL! I've been reading all the funny "alligator is fish for Lenten Fridays" posts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh lawww...  ::)  Everyone here knows that alligators are reptiles, and fish are not. Fish are fish.  8)  Saying alligators are fish is kind of like saying donkeys are poultry. Neither works.  ;) :D  However... I have eaten alligator many times - it is usually meat from the tail - and it is delicious.... not weird or icky or anything like that... and it isn't fish.  ;) ;) ;D ;D

Clynn, that alligator picture you posted could have been taken in any number of places around my town.  :D  Sending wishes for a safe family return trip.

Lani, I bet that snow at your place is gorgeous... and morecoming, it sounds like. I'm hoping all that moisture will help lower danger during fire season, and also, I can't wait to see a fantastic desert bloom this year... fingers crossed!

Lori, I'm glad you are healing. Thanks for the baby animals... cute baby donkey... not fish... not poultry... not alligator  ;) ;D

Tsk, am I remembering that your back surgery is this coming week? I hope you will soon be able to say you are pain free. (((Hugs to you.)))

Everyone stay safe and warm. Later, gators!    (not fish)

Enjoyed your SWFL photo update as well as the photo of watchful HD and HM brooding her egglets.

Watch your steps Tig.  ;)

Sounds like a lot of snow for  you Lani

Lisa Shells in crab cakes or anything, blah.

Clynn thanks for Big Bear Lake Eagles photo, awwwJackie  :-* :-* :-*

Every single baby mammal and bird is adorable. Hippo is so funny

BL N1 comments ...this is the first egg in N1 I've seen as the first was 2 yrs prior to my joining Forum, etc.  However, your egglet naming logic seems  spot on.
We did similar with out bluebirds 20 + yrs ago  commencing  with Cane Ridge or CR....CR-1, 2,. 3, 4....CR 47.

Hello Beakers

It has been a sunny and warm day here - high of 56  :o  our peak wind gust was only 10mph this afternoon - I see that everything from the Rockys East to W. Vir. /Kent./Tenn./Ga and south of the Iowa Mo. border is under a wind advisory.  Rain to get here about midnight and stay in the low 40s.

Doing some catch up in here, I haven't posted since yesterday morning - good reason tho - we had our Grandson and we went out driving to some beaches;  Rio Del Mar, Seacliff, Capitola and Capitola Village over here in CA (this was yesterday).  When we got home, we watched stuff on TV (so I never had time to get back on my laptop, as I was enjoying having time with our Grandson).     I made us a good breakfast this morning that included his favorite; Bacon & Pancakes (he skipped having an egg).  Took him home a while ago - had a wonderful weekend together - I am so happy.

Tsk - Love the darling pic of Lulu napping so comfortably on your computer chair - but then that leaves you with no chair! :-\   The N1 news is so wonderful! :)

Puff - Notre Dame Cathedral;  that would be an awesome trip for you if you decide to go. ;) :)

Lani - Hope all went well with Amy's trip - if she got some good info, then that's good for her in the decision making!  Thanks for posting on the hatchery nest;  I had that live cam up today on my kitchen table!  I still check in on the SWFL nest too!!

Baz - Good Caturday stuff!  Kissing booth; Lol!

Tig - Wow, more action than you probably wanted - yikes!!  Sounds like all went well and that you guys had a good outing! :)

Lori - Lovely post for Pip & BL's birthdays - you really do such special things for all the Beakers!

T40 - Awesome stuff for Caturday!  Your bonus 'when a man loves a woman' was so CUTE!!!

Phyl - I bet your newly done nails are real nice!  I agree with you about the Alligator debate!  Beautiful cam pics!!

Puff - Nice to read how you came into watching the Decorah nest back in 2011.  I was watching a local news channel (KION 46) back then, and they did a segment on the Decorah eagles and gave some good information and I signed onto the Live Cam and I was in Love!!  I became hooked immediately. 

LisaG - I have been polishing my nails for a couple of years - wanted to give my nails a rest from the salon.  But this week, I am going in to get my nails done with a 'powder' coat.  I am doing this as we are leaving on vacation to Hawaii this Saturday!

Clynn - Thank you so much for posting the Decorah nest history  ;D   Love all the nest pics and info!

Ssrl - Great to see you!  I don't have that link, but I'm sure someone does!   Okay, I just saw that Oldguy came thru for you - no surprise! :)

BL - I totally agree with what you posted about hatchery E's and everything else!

Oldguy - Wish the cards would have been in your favor last night - but hope you had a nice time and some good appetizers!

All have a good night - hugs to all.

Clynn, thanks for beautiful pics from Big Bear Valley eagles. Lots of snow there. I hope all will be okay with the eggs.

BL, Sounds like you and Pip had a great birthday weekend!  ;D    Thanks for the weather info! We heard maybe another 6, but 8-12. Mike said, we're 5 inches ahead of what's normal for this time of year. And we didn't think we'd get much of a winter.

{{{Tsk}}} Aly's home  :). She liked the family center and staff very much. Loved the area. They drove her through Medford, Jacksonville and Ashland.

Baz, love your post on alligators vs fish! LOL! The Bishop must have a gator farm.  ;D

Oldguy, I watched Ryan and Leslie. Thanks... the cards will be better next Saturday!

Eagles, I enjoy reading your family stories. Sounds like a lovely weekend with grandson. Aly arrived home around 8 tonight. She said the snow had melted, so all was well driving on N87.  hasn't made the final decision, too many things need to happen (getting state licenses)  But, they have offered her a job, they'll give her a month to decide. If she accepts she'll move in May. I think she'll take it. we'll miss her and Dewey... I just read your post to Lisa. Where are you going in Hawaii?  ;D

Good night!

Phyl, awww, both of our Decorah Moms before dawn...both with treasures beneath them...  Cute video of the eagles working on the nest, I have never een an eagle's nest with no cover overhead! Reminds me of an osprey nest. Those dogs! Fark! And the dog sticking out his tongue through the knot hole.  ;D

BL, sounds like you and Pip had a wonderful birthday celebration!

Lani, I bet Dewey was glad to see Aly! And you are getting a little more snow than expected, would love to see your beautiful forest covered in snow!

Lori, all those sweet baby critters... :-*

E4E, I think you should spend as much time as you can with your grand kids, so glad to hear that it was good times! They will be grown up too soon. 10 years ago seems like last week. And they will be grown before you know it and busy with their own lives...

Sue Bruhling - Good morning! from E21 & E22!
I went into check on the Kiddos, and this is what I found!! They were hanging out waiting for Breakfish. All of a sudden, an Eagle flew in, I think it was Mighty M and did a Fish Drop!! E22 actually got the fish first and mantled a bit but then he walked away from the fish and both E221 & E22 just continued to squeee and squeee! and in a minute or so Mighty M flew off!
So now they must self-feed. But Mighty M made it to the nest without R23/Godzilla following him and fighting for the fish, risking the kiddos getting hurt. I think Mighty M knows exactly what he is doing and he is doing it well! Praying for this Eagle Family ❤

HI BEAKERS

Pouring since about 4 AM.  Thunder and lightening as well mixed in. 43 heading to 57 with heavy rains ending in a couple hours.  It is spring??

T40   Pretty rare phenomena. All factors must line up  :o

OLDGUY   Looks like a bit of a card slump for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz95y3gLNA4&ab_channel=TurangaLeela
Fascinating piece on the Carolina wren  :)  Quite the nest builders.

EAGLES   What a fun day with your grandson.  I forget - how old is he?  WOW  a trip to Hawaii.  which island?  have you been before?

BL   Fun b-day weekend  ;D  " flutist audio" WOW

LANI    LOLOL  " Lori's ark"  Good one   Sounds like a very positive trip for Aly.  How long does she have to decide?  I see you answered EAGLES.  That move will be a big project but she has a bit of time to get it all coordinated.

PHYL  Dog nose and tongue  :)    ABC should have found a "wonky stick" video with at least a minute of trying to place it perfectly  LOL

CLYNN  thanks for Sue's report.

LISA   What a gorgeous gown.  The hem is beautiful.  A click enlarged it - Were the flowers embroidered?    thanks for that view.

A cat was saved from under the rubble in Turkey. It now refuses to leave its rescuer's side.

Adorable.....the rescuer as well, ;)

Been freezing rain/ice since around 4am...going till 1pm

So happy I spent over 2 hours yesterday removing over a foot of snow off my lower deck..
I have 8 feet piles and no where else to throw it....it just slides right back down so am throwing the snow on top of my jacuzzi now. I used my electric snow pup...almost useless in that much snow but did help some.

Took an almost 2 hour nap after that one...

tsk - not spring here that's for sure....Spring will probably arrive sometime in May for us this year.

That freezing rain would have turned all that snow hard..

Tig - Thank you for the pm  :)

Tsk - Our Grandson is 12 - he will be 13 this summer.  I seem to recall that you have a nephew a year younger?

Lani - Like all the cute animal pics!  Glad Aly is home safe & sound - sounds like it could be a great opportunity, but I'm sure Aly will make a good decision for herself.
 
Phyl - Cute 'shames' for a Monday morning  ;D  Liked the new clip vid  :)  Love the Decorah pics.

Puff - Lol!  Getting that 'log' into the right place  ;D

Clynn - Yes, I agree with you about spending as much time as possible with our Grandson - we appreciate all the quality time that we can ever get with him! :-*   Love your fox pic!  Thanks for posting Sue Bruhling - I had the SWFL cam up for a bit yesterday!

LisaG - Lovely Christening gown - "thank you" to your Mom for the picture  :)

Kb - Awe, that is a sweet kitty - thank you for the vid - sure hope the kitty and its rescuer can somehow stay together.   You definitely deserved a good nap after working so hard at removing snow.  Hopefully you don't overdo yourself - you are a determined worker!

Lori - Love your congrats to Bradley & Kelly!  How are you doing?

For those that asked, we are leaving this Saturday for a week in Kauai. 8)   We went to Maui back in 2007. 

I have an appt with my hairdresser this morning.  :)

Phyl, I was very interested in the ABC News eagle video. The nest has a nice size bowl, bigger than other nests. I looked up Shepherdstown, WV. where the nest tree is located.
AE Bella and Smitty are parents of one egg at this time.
EAGLECAM - NATIONAL CONSERVATION TRAINING CENTER. https://www.outdoorchannel.com/live/eaglecam/326707/0

The eagle nest is located approximately 75 miles from Washington, D.C. on the campus of The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services' National Conservation Training Center. The campus is in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, approximately 1/4 mile from the Potomac River. https://www.fws.gov/media/nctc-eagle-nest-location

Clynn, sweet Fox family... thank you for SWFL update. Bless Dad M15 he's doing fantastic job of avoiding Godzilla and getting that food to the eaglets. And E22 is learning to fight for his food, to self-feed. Because dad only has enough time to feed one eaglet before Godzilla sweeps in.
Update posted above cam: 10;25am M to nest with UFO - red meat, E22 grabs, E21 watches. M goes to squirrel, starts feeding E21. 10:29am E22 finishes, goes to M and E21, steals part of squirrel. 10:30am M leaves nest goes to attic. 10:32am M flies to the east. 24 minutes ago.

Lisa, Beautiful Christening gown. The embroidery work on neck, sleeves and hem is stunning. A precious treasure for your family.

{{{Hugs Tsk}}}  :-*

Kb, precious cat and rescuer video. I pray he took the cat home.

Lori, lovely post for Lisa and family.

Oldguy, I held my breath when the cats were exploring the Hina doll display. I haven't seen Hina dolls since leaving Hawaii. My stepfather brought my mother a couple of dolls when returning from his naval tour at Japan.

Eagles, You will love Kauai! I hope the weather is nice for you. My niece with her partner and baby live on Kauai.

Lori - Thank you, and love the post.  :-*

oldguy - That is quite a bit of rain. 

E4E - Enjoy your week in Kauai!

Lani - Wow, that is some nest!  Aww, sweet pup!

Clynn, NBC National News last night featured a video clip of Jackie in her snowy Big Bear nest!!  :-*  Or, it might have been on the ABC National News last night. LOL, now I can't remember which one.

Hello Beakers

It has been a sunny and warm day here - high of 56  :o  our peak wind gust was only 10mph this afternoon - I see that everything from the Rockys East to W. Vir. /Kent./Tenn./Ga and south of the Iowa Mo. border is under a wind advisory.  Rain to get here about midnight and stay in the low 40s.

Cards were almost good last night, just not good enough - 0 of 2 - but both were close games.

OldGuy, sorry about the score, but sounds like a competitve couple of card games, so hopefully it was lots of fun! I followed the severe weather storm line last night... awful damage in Oklahoma, especially in the Norman area... and I saw tornado warnings for Indiana this morning, so that storm line was still actively severe at that time... such a big area affected. I hope it loses its oomph soon. Prayers for all in the path of the storms. Thanks for the video of the Carolina Wren. Excellent! The Carolina Wren is my all-time favorite little songbird!  :-*  :-*  As I like to say, they are small, but mighty!  ;) :D  And so fun to watch! I love watching my Wrenny Wren, the Carolina Wren, but I haven't seen him recently. I hope he hangs out nearby me again soon.  Hope you get some good weather this week!!  :)

Lisa - Ha, NOT yet..
The freezing rain stopped around 11:45 so I went to shovel it off my driveway in order to get to the garbage.

I watched my neighbor to the north earlier, uphil from that is, deliberately make a channel in the snow out in the street so all the water would head downhill into my driveway...
It scared me as our driveways are incorrectly graded to the house, not the street.
The ice has been freezing for many nights on the south side of my driveway so it wouldn't go on down the hill.

Ha, I met the mailman who likes me and is a doll, while I was out there, and showed him the channel.
His words: "That's a very sh--ty thing to do".......Yup.

Spent an hour pushing/brooming/shoveling the gallons and gallons of water downhill after I made a bit of a high channel into the street.

Will take days..but that's another NONO from my neighbor....they have 4 young adult males there who can do better....and yes, I've spoken to her too many times to count about their destruction....I sense a real "victomhood" mentality over there.

Resting now, LOL

OLDGUY  Looks like Maru had to make a few adjustments to the Hina doll display  ;)

EAGLES  My great niece just turned 14.  She is the one active in the theater arts.  Tim's grandson is 13.  I always have to look up ages.  LOL Have often thought I would like to return to Kauai and spend more time there. It was so beautiful.  You will have a great time.

LANI  Thanks for the research on the Shepherdstown nest.  Seems to ring a bell.

Lisa, what a gorgeous Christening gown! Great shot - the detail showed very well when I clicked the picture and enlarged it. Just beautiful! Did your mom take a lot of pictures in NOLA at the parades? I wondered if she dressed up in Mardi Gras style... maybe she has a picture to share - I'm glad it was such a fun trip! I forgot to mention earlier how much I like the wedding photo of Bradley and Kelly on the steps. The photographer did a nice job - all 4 wedding pics you posted are so nice. A wonderful day for the families. I bet you're all still on a wedding "high."  :)

((Tsk)), "neither rain, no sleet, nor snow!"  Wow on the shawl ladies making it through the monsoon for that monthly meeting. I saw some of the weather forecast for your general area, and had wondered if you were getting any ice. It will be interesting to hear how much rain you officially got. Is your surgery this week?

Lori, thanks for the gifs from the Decorah North and Hatchery Eagles... looks like the stream is running very fast!

Thanks to all for all the great nest updates!  :) :-*

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Hi Tsk - Okay, it looks like I was remembering Tim's Grandson (sorry I thought nephew).  I just remember the age between him & my Grandson was about a year. :)   Your GN is the very talented one in the Plays!

Lani - Yes! I am sure we will very much enjoy Kauai - we wanted to go to a different island this time (although we had a blast in Maui years ago).  I will think of you while I am over there, as I know HI is your family 'roots' place.

LisaG - Thank you so much - should be lots of fun, especially rest & relaxation.   So happy that your Mom has a great time at Mardi Gras  ;D

Lori - Love the Decorah vids!  Thank you for all the Falcons.

Baz - You are so sweet & kind  :)   To answer your Q:  our grandson is 12 yrs old.

Kb - Wish your neighbor really 'listened' to you, and would try to make a difference.  Just not fair that you have to put up with your neighbors snow packs and even the post man agreed with you!

Hi Beakers,
 
Oldguy,  I was in Mammoth this weekend. The video is a good representation of how much snow has fallen. We arrived on on Thursday afternoon from Orange County. Chains were put on the Jeep (2WD) just out of town proper.  The snow started in the evening , but the roads were  not completely cleared and the temps were 25 or less all weekend. It didn’t stop until early Sunday morning. The parking lots and walkways at our condo were being cleared ever 2 to 3 hours. We dug out our vehicles, and cleared the snow off of them at least 3 o 4 times.

The snow was very different from the usual “Sierra Cement”, which is a very wet heavy snow.  This weekend’s snow was so dry I couldn’t even make a snow ball. Even though there is a lot of snow it will not bring as much runoff to fill the reservoirs as some might think.

The trip home on Sunday morning was another adventure.  We woke up to blue sky’s and sunshine, had a good breakfast, packed up and headed out, or so we thought.  We got to the road that takes us out to the main highway, 395, and traffic stopped. After an hour or so in line, we finally had our CHP escort service in place. It was a slow slog down Sherwin grade into Bishop.  Chains finally off.  There were a lot  of Caltrans crews still plowing the highway.  The drive south was magnificent. The entire ranges of mountains on both sides of the valley were white. Parts of the valley’s were too. 

The people who are clearing the roads and parking lots are amazing. It’s hard work and there are always obstacles.  Thanks so much for sharing the video. Also, Mammoth Mountain has live webcams all over the mountain so you can get a an idea of the snow and wind.

weasel65  thank you for your post about your weekend in Mammoth/ the  Calif. Sierras.  I love hearing about my home state. And, do miss seeing her.

tsk You must have put up your rain guage.  I  didn't - and haven't seen any weather shows to see what happened by me.

I haven't heard much either on the second local tornado.  I have seen stuff on the Naperville one.  A couple of locals submitted their shots on TV.  Did you see that anywhere?  Word is it just did a quick touch down and then pulled up.  The other good news is that it hit in an unoccupied field.

When is your appointment?

Lori, thank you for our  beautiful Decorah and DNN Family gifs.... beautiful Savanna from ND! She looks sweet  :-*  How exciting! I wonder will she stay.

Baz, cute great nieces are ready for spring! 

Tsk, Puff, YIKES! glad you're both fine, after tornado sightings.

Weasel, wonderful to hear from you! What an weekend adventure you've had! After watching Oldguy's video of the snow on Mammoth Lakes, I better understand what you all had to go through! That's a lot of snow! Gorgeous too. I wonder if your car was in the video too. Glad you were able to return home safe and sound.

SED Phyl, thanks for pics from Fairbanks Aurora Camera

Good night!

Thoughts of this dear family flitting through the Fuschia ---so heartwarming.

baz, great pic of the twins, they are growing up and looking like young ladies! With a bit of mischief in their eyes!

Lori, what beautiful clear shots of Savanna! Has Zooey shown up yet?

oldguy, great video of the snow at Mammoth Lake...WOW!  700 inches...the lake will be full this spring!

E4E, oh how you must be looking forward to your trip!

Clynn, We're expecting snow around 2am 8-12 inches. I didn't realize Mammoth Lake received that much snow.  At an elevation of 11,000 feet that's normal. Beautiful area... sweet story of the 9 Nanas... SWFL  :-*

Phyl, Congratulations Aryana's little hummers!

GOOD MORNING ALL

38 heading to 50.  mostly cloudy

Love to hear the birds chirping this morning  ;D

WEASEL  You are brave/adventurous folks!!!   Do not know what CHP escort is?

PUFF  Got the rain total off the ABC Chicago website. Be a while before I put my gauge out - We could get snow in April - NOT.  ::)

PHYL  " You are missing from me"  Like that twist.  A real treasure to be able to photograph a hummer nest.

CLYNN   9 Nanas - Love stories like that.

LANI   Congrats to Scott and Lynn  ;D  Thrills for both of them in different ways.

BAZI  Just heard the first weather report on the nightly news and it appears we had two tornado touchdowns in the area SW of me.  Too warm for icing.   Those kids just bring a smile to my face  One is missing a hand   ::) ::) ;) ;)

OLDGUY   Seeing all that snow would make me want to close the drapes and go to bed for a month!

LORI  Beautiful clear shots of Savannah

Tsk, after I posted yesterday, I saw the news that a tornado touched down around there, but I missed that there were 2 tornado touchdowns. I heard that 1 was in or near Naperville!! That's close to you, I think! Glad you didn't experience that!  LOL on you noticing the missing hand on one of the twins in that picture!  ;D Then you also may have noticed the other twin is missing both forearms!  ;D ;) ;)

Savanna is a real cutie and must find it hard to believe she found such a beautiful place. Sounds like she hatched on top of the tallest building in Fargo, a bank, and found her way to the cliffs above the mighty Mississippi. You go,girl! :-*

T40, I love seeing the PEFAs documented visiting other cam sites!  :)  I see the bird profile info Lori posted indicates Savanna was previously seen at Great Spirit Bluff on May 22, 2021!! (And LaCrosse, WI in May of 2021, also, it says there, too.) So this is a recent return visit by her to GSB!! I love it!  :) She's a beauty! :-* :-*

Lori, thanks for posting the pics of Savanna at GSB, and her identifying info, and profile!  :) :-*

baz - Thanks for the kind words on Christening gown, and on wedding pics.  I took that pic with my cell, but the wedding photographer is the one that placed them.  He was awesome, and I can't wait to see the pics he took.  No, Mama didn't take pics at Mardi Gras, and doesn't dress up in costume, but she will wear her purple, green and gold Mardi Gras shirt.   :D  Adorable pic of the great-twins in their plaid shirts, so cute!

...

Lisa, your cell phone photo of Bradley and Kelly on the  steps is great! I call the way you said your mom was dressed for the parades "Mardi Gras style." That's what I had meant - figured she didn't wear a costume.  ;) She was definitely in the spirit of the tradition!!  :D

Beakers! I have been getting stuff ready to go to the Goodwill...you know the drill...Ed left for a 3:45 appointment and off I went. Ahhh, it feels good.  I have been working on my eBay room for several days now! All I have left to do is vacuum the floor and put my new chair together!

I let Sydney that she has a lot of birthday wishes from my Beak Room friends, she said to thank you all very much!  I will show them to her tomorrow when she picks up Bella!

T40, thanks for the song worm...I just get the last one out of my head... ;D ;D ;D

baz, I agree, I really like the pic of Brad & Kelly on the Courthouse steps! A cute couple!

Phyl, I just checked on Sauces...so far so good! Fingers crossed and prayers sent... And the pictures are so clear and beautiful!

LesleytheBirdNerd - I absolutely love helping wild birds out, especially when it's very cold like it has been here for the last week. This morning I brought out some fresh room temperature suet to change out the frozen stuff with. I also crumbled a bunch up and put it on top of the suet feeder.  The male Downy woodpecker came by and had a wonderful feed of the warm temperature stuff. As I watched him eating, I felt such joy in my heart. The Downy isn't sleeping in the photo. I captured it at the moment he was in the middle of blinking and thought it was so cute. 🥰

Decorah North home of DNF and Mr. North and little egg....

a squirrel picked up the egg today!!
Explore mod GABear stated "We haven't seen any sign that the egg is broken. Usually the adults will get fluid on their beaks and on their feathers when they move it or incubate it if it's broken."

Prayers for this family and little one coming💜

Mr. North says squirrels not allowed.

Weasel - You had quite a trip to Mammoth over the weekend - hope you enjoyed even with the weather and road conditions  :)

Phyl - Thank you, yes we plan to enjoy the Kauai trip.  Pretty Fairbanks Aurora pics!  I love the French 'saying' you posted.   Wow - 'fledge watch' on the baby hummers - they are so sweet & precious - always mixed feelings at fledge time.   Beautiful birthday posts for Sydney and EaglesRock!   Hope the eggs in the Sauces nest will be ok.

Clynn - Thank you for SWFL update & pic! :)   Amazing story of the 9 Nanas - and how they kept it secret!  Lol! I love the drill;  you got things ready to go to Goodwill!

Lani - Liked Bear Study and Intrepid sled dog racer and Dr. Rogers. ;D  Yummy birthday treats for Sydney and for EaglesRock.

Hi Tig & Tsk  :)

Hi Lori - Like your birthday wishes for Sydney and EaglesRock  :)   How is Destini?  Hope you are healing up ok from the fall you took several days ago.    Love the pics of Savannah - so cute!

LisaG - Thank you for sharing pics & the history of your family's Christening gown - such a beautiful family keepsake to be passed down in the family with lots of love. :)

BL - Happy news for the hatchery nest!  Congrats to HM & HD.  Thank you for the picture and the Decorah history. ;D

We had a big rain day again, so when my Mom & sis got here today for a visit, we put a movie on and enjoyed some snacks and had a nice afternoon. :)
The good thing is, that when they went home (raining), they just live 5 minutes away.

Beakers have a good night.

Eagles4 -
Of course I overworked today!....

but also got a scary walk with Ollie in with the sun....still icy on 2 of 4 roads...esp in the shade of buildings.

First walk in 10 days...he was so excited I could hardly get his coat on...it took Chris and I several tries, when usually he sits, lifts his front paws to put in the front leg holes, sits and waits patiently for me to zip it up his back...not today, but maybe also because his bomber jacket zipper seems to be on it's last legs....oh no...won't find another one of those.

More snow coming in tonight.....another Of Course!

I am jealous of your trip to Kauai.....very jealous, LOL.
I've been to O'ahu many times but never Kauai or Maui....you will have to share a detailed account when you return.

Lori you only have BL to thank for news of egg #2

Lani  I’ve decided to call the #7 egg at Sauces, “Lucky’. Let’s hope all those 7s are helpful LOL;    I’ll tell you ‘what’  at GSB if Zooey turns  up and Julie / Samantha remain it’s gonna be a torrid soap opera for sure. Newman will be one pooped out  perrigrine falcon. LOL

Lani, that is sure a pile of puppies in your good night picture!  I'll tackle the chair after my 'after Bella rest'!  ;D ;D

Phyl, Spring is on the way! thanks for Amy's blog, always interesting! So happy about the news at Decorah!

BL, thanks for the breaking news of egg #2!  YAY!

Lori, wow on the squirrel pcking up the North egg!  It kind of looked like he was kissing it!

Stay safe, Audi.
Some in chat believe that Cholyn is present. She is the last bald eagle from this nest. And, would be #7's big sister. Have yet to see her.
Sure wish it were true. I watched her grow from an egglet and havn'et seen here since she's fledged.

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is a feather duster or an owl?

Morning..

tsk - will pray for your Docs and nurses....take care...

I think more graupel than snow landed last night from around 10pm till just now.....more possible later.

With March our average high temps go from 35 at the start of the month, to 45 at the end....so possible melting during the day?
This winter however, has Not been average..

Hi Lori!  Happy to hear that you are healing up nicely, and that Destini is doing fine too!  Maybe you should put those shoes away for a while, and get some 'safer' shoes.  :)  Thank you so much for your kind note {Lori}  Gorgeous picture ;D

Oldguy - Definitely dangerous weather conditions in No. Calif. - great vid you posted. :o ::)  Even Yosemite is closed right now and they don't know when the Park will reopen.

Kb - Lol! Ollie was "so excited" to be going for a walk that it wasn't easy to get his jacket on! ;D  Yikes - more snow; no wonder you are overworked  :o   Wish you could get over to Hawaii for a while - you deserve a vacation! :)   Hope you get 'Spring' weather sooner than later.   Cute Owl this morning.

Lani - We've been having lots of rain, but today is actually supposed to be a dry-out day with a high temp of 53.  You have probably already gotten more snow over there by now (?)  You've had quite a winter over there!

Phyl - I like the name 'Lucky' for egg #7 @ Sauces - sure hoping for all the best.  Thanks for posting Amy's blog 'Inside a BE egg', I have seen it before, but it had been a long time, so it was good to see it again - Thank you! :)

Clynn - Your high temp today is like ours!  Have a fun day with Bella  :)

Lisa, Eagles, We've had rain, sleet and snow since the early hours. It's 34 and too warm for the snow to stick.
But, it's welcomed moisture that will fill our reservoirs and streams for our beautiful critters.

Phyl, thanks for RRP blog.. it will be interesting to see what happens at GSB. Prayers for Sauces 🙏🏼 I tell you these beautiful birds just keep tugging at our hearts with all their ups and downs.

Clynn, yeah, "the squirrel was kissing the egg!"  ;D LOL! It was definitely trying to break into the shell. I read in the DN thread they think the egg is not viable, because of the long breaks  both parents have spent away from the nest.  :( ... I'd be a bit worried sitting under that bus stop's roof! I wonder if the bus is even running  ???  Look at the layers of snow. Amazing! ... Beautiful Meadowlark.... Have fun with Bella!

Love the skycall hmm, but not so happy that other mother was plucking at her feathers ya know!

An egg at the DNR nest broke (1 of 2)...pic provided at their fb page...someone suggested when Dad got up last evening it stuck to him. Not sure if it broke first and that's why it broke, or it stuck and that's what broke it.
Our icy/drizzly/graupely weather has not helped at this nest at all...

oldguy - Minion smile, so true! Thanks for the Ryan forecast!

Lani - Pretty Hello March pic.  Aww, the Royal baby is growing up!

kb - I think that is what happened to Mom D's egg that broke a few years ago.  I was watching very early in the morning, egg was stuck to her and the next thing you see is broken egg.  I bet it stuck to MN DNR Dad  :(

Phyl - You be safe with the nasty weather headed your way, per oldguy's video from Ryan!

Remember Taho?....an update.

He was owned by the carjackers and before she threw it out of the car no one knows what she did to it.
A Johnson bulldog...

Now being rehabilitated emotionally.


From Pet Haven:
So… we did a thing.
If you’ve been watching the local news this past month, you have likely seen the story of the white puppy tossed from a vehicle during a police chase of a carjacked vehicle.
The chase started when the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office was notified of a carjacking and possible shooting. As the chase made its way onto highway 694, police saw the passenger door open. They braced for a possible gun but, instead, saw something white tossed out of the car.
After reviewing footage, they realized it was a puppy. The next day, they found him in a snow bank about 50 yards from where he was thrown, hiding in single digit weather.
Given the name Taho, he was immediately brought to BluePearl Pet Hospital where it was determined his leg was broken among other injuries. He rested up in a foster home and had surgery a week later.
Taho went to two other homes after surgery. It’s unknown if the mix of major surgery and medication had an effect on his behavior, but Taho became uncomfortable hearing other dogs in the house. Unfortunately, this led to redirected bites on his caretakers.
Due to this, Taho couldn’t complete his mandatory bite quarantine in-home and had to be moved to a shelter where he ended up at risk of euthanasia.
After all he’d been through - seen and unseen - the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office couldn’t let this happen without giving him a chance. They jumped into action and asked a couple sources where Taho could go.
One name came up.
And that name was Pet Haven.
When we got the call, we said YES and knew exactly what Taho needed.. an experienced handler dedicated to his behavioral health as, although he has come a long way physically, the emotional trauma recovery is just beginning.


Enter our partner, Follow Me Dogs, who will be fostering Taho in their rescue program. Follow Me Dogs works with all dogs and all behaviors - with a special spot for those who need a chance despite the odds.
First up is a two week reset and assessment in which they will learn what makes Taho tick. Next, they’ll devise a plan catered to what he needs to be his best self and how to get him there. We hope that he can gain the confidence he needs to thrive.
But for now.. knowing he has a chance at the good life is enough.
We are incredibly grateful and humbled to be trusted with his care and will post updates as Taho’s journey unfolds.
**Any donations that have been sent to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Foundation for Taho’s care will continue to go toward his medical and behavioral training expenses. Link to the full article of his harrowing experience in the comments.
**For those wondering about Taho’s owners/family, the owner of the stolen car did not claim Taho as their dog and no one else came forward for him.

Lisa  cheery greetings this AM.  I also found squirrel incident  in Lori's gif yesterday  very troubling for the reason of how it looked.

Tsk nice  March greeting today. My beakroom mornings are gonna be a bit less enjoyable w/o you for a few days  ---you know that, don't you?  Well you should.


KB    Like you when I saw this  I had my suspicions---Your charming feathred owl, is neither living or fancy feather duster---but a toy of sorts.https://www.pinterest.com/pin/293367363196825884/ (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/293367363196825884/)


Eagles ditto on Amy's blog. But I felt since there are guest in the Forum, some might find it helpful; your AM greeting is another cheery start to the day

Olguy tks for update on Cali.  Luv your Minion for today, truer words. Tornadoes---exactly what I hate about spring in Tenn and when I was in Mo.  Living on the edge

Lani Springy March greeting; tks for your weather update; I also thought the squirrel was breaking into the egg to drink the contents

Hi Lori !  think we're gonna have a real romance novel going on with the chubby Samantha (in my snapshot this aM) , the slender/ sexy Julie or the easy on the eyes longtime love Zooey.  Newman better not be a 'cad'! LOL Glad to hear you're doing well w/recovery. Cute kitties an d puppies

KB thank you! for Update on  Taho. What a sad story. Poor fella. But a heartwarming and uplifting ending. Hope all continues to go well for him at Pet Heaven and 'Follow Me Dogs' shelters and rehab.

Hello Beakers! Another fun day with Bella! We had to go to the Dollar Tree (s/b the Buck and a Quarter Tree' now!) so that she could get presents for her Mom & Dad and brother. Mom got some sparkly nail polish, Dad got some potato sticks and Talon got some big dice. We got little gift bags, and she traced her hand and stuck those inside the bags too, after she wrote 'Love Bella' on them. Puzzles, painting and of course, ah-Pad! I had gotten her some fuzzy ponytail elastics, she wore them on her wrists all day! Except when she was washing dishes...

Lani, the albatross chick is getting big and so pretty! Love her first skycall, so cute! Yeah, I read the same in the Decorah North chat, it's odd all around. One egg and such long times left uncovered. Dagnabit.

Lori, thanks for the updates!

In view of recent developments at N1. Not quite sure how relevant this is.
However, since N1 has lost an egg. Perhaps it'd be good to know.

LORI   Your March babies are so cute  ;)

BAZI  I just said "rabbit rabbit" 50 times  LOL  I never heard that before.

KB  Such good news to hear there are organizations out there willing to give dogs like Taho a second chance.  They are some special people.  Poor pup. Thanks for the follow-up.   Well there is still one egg left.  Let's hope.

PHYL  Thanks for the detective work on the "feather duster"  LOL        " press your luck"  groaner.  I think the broken egg was Mn DNR nest not N1

EAGLES  I would like to wish you and Kris a very Happy Anniversary and now know why you are going to Kauai  LOL  I may not be home on the 5th to post.

CLYNN  I wish you were my grandma  ;D   That snowstorm is every bit as bad as any number of natural disasters.  Hard to watch the video.  The plow and heavy machinery operators are like firefighters.  God bless their efforts   I'm sure confused on the nests and eggs.  N1 is OK right?  Mn DNR  lost and egg  right? 

First of all, thank you to all of you, friends, who will think about me tomorrow and maybe offer some prayers that the surgeon has a good night's sleep  LOL.  I need to be there at 6 AM and surgery is within two hours from that. They say it should take 2 hours?   I have asked CLYNN to accept a text from my SIL  Barb when there is news to report.  I have been free of the excruciating pain in my left leg since Feb 16th when suddenly I woke up in the AM to NO pain at all - Just like that.  This happened 2 weeks to the day after the second injection which must have kicked in. So it has been wonderful to have 2 weeks of comfort and be weaned off of the pain pills which never helped anyway.  The surgery is inevitable so am going with it while I am healthy and do not seem to have any permanent leg weakness.  This will be my first experience as a hospital patient.  Tim has been a champ but I have said  " you owe me one" as I have witnessed his double knee replacements, 4 stents, and a double by-pass surgery - but who's counting.  ::) ::)

See you later gators

Kb, re: albatross mothers will often check on their neighbors chicks when parents are gone. She takes a moment to sit and groom. Little SP let her know she was fine, thank you very much! Little SP has been walking and exploring around her nest. that's sad about DNR egg.  :( ... oh, sad about Taho, I pray with the help of Follow Me Dog rescue and the determination by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office that he may have a chance after all he's been through. Thanks for keeping us informed. I pray for the best.

BL, the heavy rain/sleet started at 5pm today, and it's been none stop. The wash behind our home is full and running fast and furious. Pine/Strawberry are at an higher elevation, they're receiving 12" since last week. The Rim around us is covered in snow. Very beautiful. Thanks for map.

Baz, "Rabbit, Rabbit!" A bit late, but you never know! And I certainly didn't!  ;D

Clynn, sweet pics of Miss Bella, especially doing the dishes! A nice shopping day for love gifts for her family, that's sweet  :-* ....  I know what you mean "dagnabit!" Sad for our eagles... love the dog and leash... and yes, we spent Friday night at the Drive-in theatre in Salina.... oh my that snow storm at Donner Pass!  :(

Lani, it's comforting to know that other albatross mothers will check on others chicks! When I watched the video I was kind of sad that the chick seemed to be 'mad' at his parent but now I see that it wasn't his parent but another chick's parent! Is the wash behind your house still running furious? A picture?

oldguy, yes, that was a scary drive in that video, I would have been so afraid of those walls of snow caving in...  I agree, Bellamy is doing a great job!

Posted last night by Ginger, on the Explore.org chat:

Ginger (Iowa) 9 hours ago    Posted this evening on RRP Facebook page.
Intruders continue to roil activity at the North nest. RRP master bander Dave Kester checked it out on February 27 and reported three adult eagles quite close to the north nest. As we suspected, DNF is spending most of her time guarding the nest and chasing the strangers away. Unfortunately, we’re getting a really excellent look at the ways in which eagle populations limit themselves, something we’ll be writing more about.

Why has DNF been spending so much time away from her eggs? Broodiness is caused by hormonal changes. After the first egg is laid, testosterone and progesterone should rapidly decrease while prolactin, a hormone that induces incubation and brood patch swelling, rapidly increases. The intruders might be boosting the production of hormones that prohibit or interfere with broodiness.

Will the egg survive? We weren’t too concerned about the incubation patterns we saw on February 24, since we’ve seen eagles spend fairly long periods of time off newly laid eggs before. But the intruders are upsetting things and a fox squirrel attempted to eat the lone egg on February 28 while DNF and Mr. North were away. It wasn’t successful, but we have no idea whether the egg is still viable. For now, we’ll continue to watch the nest and document activity in the valley of the Norths. Thank you for watching with us. Life in a wild nest isn’t always easy.

Lani I can just imagine how the rim is looking right now. I sure would like to view Jupiter & Venus too. I told Jim as a pilot the sky/weather are always of interest.

Phyl, hello there! I was beginning to think that all the Beakers were sleeping in this morning! Love seeing the two Decorah eggs! Oh I remember the TV Guide, couldn't do without it! Always picked it up when checking out at the grocery store. Another relic of our simpler lives...  And I see the Sauces egg is still hanging in there! Praying hard for that egg to make it!

I sure hope good news from Barb on Tsk;
Thanks for nests updates on SF Bay Ospreys ; SWFL kids E21 and 22 look thin, but good shape. :-*
Thanks so much for Ginger's FB post. I was so concerned for that first egg. Good to know that squirrel went off hungry.
Many thanks for the prayers for Sauces.

Hi all, I got news from Barb (I was at Sam's).  'Sue (tsk) was out of surgery at 11:15. The surgery was 2.5 hours and went well. She is in recovery. More later.'

This is a picture of the creek at Lani's. It is a video but I can't get it to post as a video, so I sent it to Lori. If anyone can it is her!  The sound is beautiful...

HAPPY DAY! WAVING TO ALL THE BEAKERS!  :)

Clynn, glad to hear Rosie is back! What a fun day you had with Bella yesterday! Love her wanting to pick out gifts for her family.  :-*  Can I bring my dirty dishes to your house on Tuesday night?  ;) :D

Phyl, glad to hear the egg is still intact at Sauces. Seems there's often a little extracurricular flirtations and such at GSB  ;) 8) before the expected female returns. I hope Zooey is back at the GSB nest with Newman soon! Glad you got reminded that both eggs at N1 are normal looking, so no eggs broken at N1.  ;) Sorry to hear about the MNDNR egg loss, and hope they get another chance with another egg this season.  :-* And talons crossed for The Norths to get at least 1 hatch and fledge this year, if not more.  :-*

Lani, glad you don't have the 12 inches of snow. Silly me - I thought your home was in Pine. So you are at a lower elevation than Pine? Did I understand that right now?

KB, I hope Taho wil be able to overcome his problems and make the transition to improved behaviors so he can eventually have a permanent loving home in the future. I'm glad he's getting a chance for that.

E4E, get ready to relax in beauty and splendor! I know you and Kris must be pretty excited about your upcoming hawaii vacation! Oh boy!!  :D

Lisa, thanks for that pretty cup of coffee and flowers this morning!  :)




(((TSK))), I'm figuring you're in recovery now after your surgery this morning, if the schedule held, or heading to your post-recovery room soon. LOL, yep, you're right - Tim owes you this one!  ;) :D  All good and healing thoughts and prayers continue heading your way. Hugs.  :-*

Clynn, thank you for the great news of Sue! 🙏 And Mike just arrived home from a couple of days in Gila Bend. He came home early, because of flooding in Gila Bend overnight, and snow in Tucson.... thanks for posting the pic of the stream.  :-* I can't seem to post my videos of stream. It was running fast last night because of heavy rains and then as temp dropped to 25 it turned to snow.... Rosie looks wonderful, so glad she's home with Richmond! The two SWFL eaglets look great!

Below Wskrsnwings takes video of 3 owlets in a nest nearby.

SWFL Eagles_ The E's & The O's Growing So Fast!! 03.02.23 by wskrsnwings

M15 left the nest tree before sunrise as did R23. The E's rested quietly in the nest until sunrise when they began their chatter, wingercizing and carrying sticks and nestovers around the nest. Both found some nestovers to self feed from too. E21 stood on top of the rails. A check of the GHO nest (N2) in the west pasture found all three owlets branched above and left of the nest with Mama owl watching over them. They dropped back to their nest and stayed active for a bit 'jumping' at each other. 
The E's are 8 weeks old this week. (E21 is 57 days old & E22 is 55 days old today.) Harriet was last seen February 2nd, four weeks ago today. "I love you Mom" and miss you terribly.

I texted tsk's SIL Barb for an update, she said 'her BP was low but the pain meds bring it down. She is not on a floor yet but in observation...Tim couldn't remember. He's going back tomorrow at 9:00. Hopefully a much better report then. Keep praying.'  Men just aren't very good at details (I said that, not Barb!)!

Phyl, unbelievable, the 8th egg at Sauces! Fingers and toes crossed! Yes, Savannah is a beauty!  Now that is a 50's lamp!

I checked on the Decorah North, they are still being harassed by other eagles. No definitive word on the egg, it just can't be seen and at times they are brooding when they are not defending their territory and nest.

Good Night Beakers!

Hang in there Audi.

 Chat:  Lost  an egg.  Seems there was a commerant attack yesterday.  Chat thinks one of the eggs got 'bonked'. And since the shells are weak , it broke.
Audi's consumed the contents--good fuel for her.
Not sure if it was #7 or #8. Everyone's  (incl. me) hoping it was #8. Like me, everyone is attached to 'Lucky 7".
Audi's had a rough night with a pesky little mouse that's seem to have gone away.

Lani, I so agree! The sounds of your creek are very soothing... Does the creek have a name? Trout Run Creek below the Decorah nest is very loud right now, it's running very fast! I had to watch HM for a minute or two, I thought maybe the screen was locked up, then I saw her eyelid open and close. She is sleeping soundly... Dad North is on the North nest. Snow in Tucson! That's kind of rare isn't it? 

E4E, it's almost here! I bet you are getting everything ready today, trying to make sure you don't forget anything!

Lori, thanks for making those gifs! Isn't it a beautiful scene? It's the happy, calming place in my head right now!  ;D Hope you are feeling better and better...

Phyl, oh, I hate to hear that news, I also hope and pray it was #8 and that lucky #7 is still safe.  31 here, high 52 today. Thanks for the heads up on World Wildlife Day! Oh, those little penguins are havine a meeting!  The Flyway looks lonely...

Momo - Realized I have the tools to see the three of them together! Yaya, Boo, and an expression of Momo that lives in my head. ❤️❤️❤️

Green Bay Metro Fire Department  - It's not everyday that you get to help out a family of owls!
Truck 6 and GBPD Humane Officer Meaves were called this morning to help out some baby owls that had fallen out of a tree. These great horned owlets had been sitting in the snow for four days and aren't able to fly just yet. Working together, firefighters and Officer Meaves were able to secure a makeshift nest with some hay and get the owls off the ground. Mother owl was still feeding the owlets and stayed close by to supervise fire/police rescue efforts. The owl family was left to reunite in their new nest and live happily ever after! 🙂

Lisa, I just saw this on FB, interesting information! Watch for the feet stomping!
1000 Islands Environmental Center - Welcome back to Critter Tuesday! This week we will be focusing on the striped skunk. Skunks are well known for their ability to spray when they feel threatened. A striped skunk can spray up to 15 ft. away from their body. However, before they spray they will do other actions to tell other animals to get away. One thing they will do is stomp their feet. If you see a skunk start to stomp their feet give them space because that means they are about to spray if they continue to feel threatened.

As their habitats start to freeze each winter, beavers will break ice at the entrances of their habitats to keep open water for a few days longer. I filmed this beaver breaking ice in the pond during the first cold week of winter 2020. #beavers #winter #wildlifephotograph

Tsk - I hope you get everything you need today and going forward in your recovery from surgery..

Lori, thanks for posting the pics for me. I can't get my videos to post. In the videos, You can hear the sounds of the water, which is very soothing.

Lani, you have a very beautiful property! I am trying to find a different gif program as we cannot post long video's in the forum just the links.  I will have to get with Amy and see if anything has changed as far as file size.  I talked to Gyazo & they said to upload my gifs as an MP3 but I couldn't on this  forum.  If anybody has any insight on this please let me know. Gyazo is updating their software all the time and I am paying for their service because I have 6700 gifs uploaded there. I would like to hear the creek also, I am gonna check that out.  I am guessing the file size will be too big for the forum. 
I just tried something else, I uploaded your video to pinterest and here is the link you should be able to hear the creek now... let me know if this works..💜. Make sure to unmute the volume icon in pinterest under the video  ;D

Lori - the link you posted for pinterest says it is not found.  I did put a video onto my Youtube 2 or 3 years ago, so everyone here could see it - it is not that hard to do.  When posting it you can restrict the video so that only the link you post can get to see it.  You could also post it to Instagram if you have an account there.  The forum has never had the ability to upload videos - I think it might be a matter of memory/cpu usage limits for the servers to reduce cost.

Lani, your video of the wash and its surroundings is beautiful!

Clynn, thank you for getting an update about TSK from her SIL, Barb.  :-*  TSK is very strong, but what a difficult time. I just hate it for her.

Lori, best I know to post a video in Forum is to post a link to it from a 3rd party website, such as youtube, as OG mentioned.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Everyone be aware of the potential for severe weather today and overnight in many areas of many states. Please stay alert if any is expected where you are.  Everyone in the path of severe weather, please stay safe.  :-*

Good Morning Beakers!  It's CATURDAY!!

E4E, it's GO TIME! Have a Happy, Happy Anniversary and a trip to remember!

Lani, did you get more snow last night? I have listened to your video 6 times, love the sounds, I wish all could hear it... I turned on explore.org a few minutes ago, on the Sauces cam you can hear the bullfrogs croaking.

Phyl, the egg at Sauces is still safe...

Lisa, Kay's appointment was good, her leg wound is healing nicely, the skin grafts were better than the doctor expected.  I have had 4 cats at once, all were Siamese!

Lani - Darn it, I was hoping the link would work for everyone, since that was my approval link for the gallery.  Bradley has to approve emails for someone who wants to look at the gallery.  Let me ask him if there is a way to do it without him having to approve someone. Spoke to Bradley....he said all you have to do is put in your name and email, and it should let you look at the pics!

Lori - Great Caturday pics!

kb - LOL, that pic is so you and all your snow! 

Where is Phyl today?  I hope she made out ok with the storms last night.

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!  :D


Phyl, I saw the dicey weather that went through Nashville yesterday... and hope all is well at your place - maybe you have lost power? - and if so, I hope no damage there, and you are all safe.

Beakers, I hope you are all safe after the storms that blew through the last day or so, and which are still affecting the northeast as I type. Yep, another new storm coming on to the west coast today, which will move across the country. More feet of snow to come in the California mtns expected from that... those poor people all snowed in already and about to get more. Stay safe and warm, All!

I only had high winds at my place last night, and some rain, but no severe storms, and I never lost power, surprisingly... had 50 mph wind gusts, but no damage near me, just small branches that blew down. My twin greats, in NC, lost power from the same line of storms that went through their area, and they lost power around dinner time last night, but it came back on about 4-and-a-half hours later, thankfully, and there was no damage at their place. Today, my skies are severe clear - gorgeous day, 79 degrees.

Lori, LOLOL on that Spa Day video you posted. That cat was hilarious!!!  :D :D And definitely is "Daddy's kitty."  ;)  ;D

ALOHA, E4E and Kris! Happy trails!  :)


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

I will ask Barb to send the address/room # of the hospital so we can send cards, if anyone wants to. I know I do!

Lani, I would love to nuzzle the muzzle  ;) of that big kitty's face you posted. What a beauty!  :-*  But I wouldn't dare.  ;) :D  Did you get a lot more snow on top of what was in your video?  I see your team plays their game immediately before my team does today.  I hope Mike got a fresh batch of Cozy Burgers!  ;)  If not for today, then for the upcoming tournaments. Hope you won't need to hide in your office during the game.  ;D Yikes! LOL.  I'm wearing my team's colors, have their flag on my front door, and have the appropriate message to the other "biggest rivalry" team we're playing on a button pinned to my shirt.  ;) ;D

HAVE A HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!   :-*

He hand shoveled the back street from our house mid block to the corner so he could get the car out. I figured the length to be a football  field and a quarter! Wow...

Lisa, Thanks, I'll sign up tomorrow. I looked at your beautiful pics in the Decorah eagle thread. Nice to see HM and Mr North on their nests tonight. It's sad DNF never wants to sit on the egg.

Baz, the snow has melted, but the creek is still flowing... sorry about today's games for both of teams... sigh  :(  I hid in the garage and did some work.  ... Tournament week is upon us, and yes, I will surprise Mike with Cozy burgers. They will be delivered at Shannon's home and she'll drive up here to surprise Mike...  MARCH MADNESS BABY IS AROUND THE CORNER!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Clynn, "Good Lord is right!" That is a lot of snow. I sent Sue's card Thursday.... "it's the cat's birthday!" LOL!  ;D awww sweet cat in the doll bed.  ;D.

Hoping to get even better news on Sue today! Gotta get busy, we are celebrating Sydney's birthday today, I am fixing her favorite meal: salmon and potatoes on the grill, fresh asparagus, garden salad and homemade rhubarb pie.

SF Bay Ospreys - Rosie and Richmond visited the nest this morning.

Lani - Thanks for the kind words on the pics in Decorah thread.  Yes, very sad that DNF won't sit on egg, but Mr N is not giving up. 

tig - Geesh, your poor Dad doing all that shoveling, but a dedicated employee to go in after all that!

clynn - Love all your morning pics.  Hope you get an update on Sue.  Sydney's birthday meals sounds yummy!  Fingers crossed for Sauces.  Good pic of R&R.

Clynn, I watched the Decorah cams and checked Sauces cam too. It's a gorgeous day, grasses are hiding the egg, but it's still there.  :). ... while at DNN Mr North continues to brood the egg and DNF is on the branch. She has not laid in the nest at all.... R & R look great! ... Have a lovely time with Sydney, Erin and munchkins. Her birthday dinner sounds delicious!  ;D

Lisa, Mr North is doing a great job!

Puff, thanks for goose update.

They told me in explore it's newman but I have some pics of both of them...  just a guess though.

It was just a guess but here are a couple pics of Zooey and Newman... thanks for the info. ;)
the pic i have for newman and this is zooey below from last year.  It looks like
Zooey has more black on her beak so it must not be her.  I've never seen newman so fluffy!

Scott M Mohn took this pic at Veteran's Memorial Park in Shakopee MN...
Just south of me, south of the Minnesota River....thought at first it might have been my Veteran's Park...turns out there are many many Veteran's Park all over the Twin Cities.

Morning all.

Been out trying to move concrete in front....yesterday was in back where I got 6 inches of ice and a foot and a half feet of snow off my jacuzzi.

The front is too dang hard...not sure even a snowblower could get at those piles. Too high, too hard.
Preparing for snow tonight but more importantly, 7 plus inches predicted later on this week.
As I've said so many times before....I have no where to put it....

Lani - loved the Albie party you posted this morning....another place I'd rather be as well....LOL

Howdy !
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9c/76/88/9c76880713aeed399ee510cf3cd13d73.jpg)

We had rain  storms and 55mph winds until  between 6pm /9pm Friday.
No electricity from 9am Thursday until late Friday evening.
And, no cable or for that matter internet from 7Am Friday until just a few hours ago today, Sunday
I had over 250 pieces of electronic mail  and still shifting through.  Arghhhh!

Our biggest worry is our roof---11 shingles missing.

What a weird sight, Thursday AM to see those 55mph winds peel off rooftop shingles like skin off a banana!


Since we lost our internet connection I’ve been most concerned about :

1) Sue (Tsk). I ‘m so very sad that she’s been having the tough time she has.   And, she still has a long road to recovery.  But, encouraged that there is some improvement. And , I now  read  that she could be going home tomorrow. I sure hope this will happen! 

I’m sure being home  and just knowing how she’s missed and loved here will brighten her day.  And the good cheer from all the ‘greetings  will go a long way to helping her recovery.
 Like y’all  I have sent her card to her home address.

2) the nests that are coming to life with egglets and hatch-lings.
Many many thanks Lori and Clynn  and all for the updates. Looking forward to reading them all.

Gonna skip commenting  on everything,  save for  Lisa, Bazi and BL, and Clynn's  posts. Thank  you for missing me and wondering how Jim, myself and Maggie have been.
Our roof needs your prayers.  As does Jim for his cardo test this Tuesday .  Jim did tell me that if the deductible is ‘too high’ he’s gonna cancel.

Both of us visit eye doc tomorrow for our annual checkups. She’s an amazing doc who’s worked under  and shared the clinic of the world renowed  eye surgeon, Dr. Ming Wang here in Nashville. 
And, this Wednesday I get to visit the dentist for a cleaning and exam. Aren’t I lucky? LOL


Wishing  everyone ‘SEDs’

Clynn, thank you for posting Tsk's update!  She did say, she would be in the hospital three days. Great news if she is able to go home tomorrow. Oh my, I didn't realize Sedona got a lot of snow too! Gorgeous pic of Sedona's red rocks... it's wonderful to see The Trio eagles of the Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge will be back online. They look wonderful. ;D

Oldguy, I hope all is well, and you were lucky with the cards last night!  :)

Phyl, good to see you, glad all is well, except for the roof, sorry.... good luck with appts tomorrow, and Jim's cardo test goes well too.

Eagles and Kris, I hope you had a lovely 35th anniversary today and enjoying beautiful Kauai! :)

Bounce
We made a last minute decision and somehow snagged front and center seats at a dinner theater for the last performance of Love Letters with two beloved local news anchors. The 50 minute drive home in the snow was a bit white knuckled but all was well.
I'm skipping the Y today to shovel the heavy snow.
Camper's BIL will have heart surgery tomorrow. Prayers...

Good Morning Beakers

Sun here this morning with temps heading for 50 - clouds to move in this afternoon - mostly cloudy for this next 7 days with precipt forecast Thursday thru Sunday.
Last night we had some scattered thundershowers with a short touch of pea size hail, temps were in the 40s...  Rain amount was less than 1/10 inch.

Saturday card games were unusual - most games take 3 hands before a team can go over 10,000 points. 
The game we play is called Hand and Foot - it is a variant of Canasta - here one version of the rules - close to how we play with some tweaks.  We play either 4 hand or 6 hand, with 6 decks of cards.   https://bargames101.com/hand-and-foot-card-game-rules/
At the start of a game, the first meld must have a minimum of 50 points -

The first game my team won it in only 2 hands.  I opened the first meld with 250 points and used up my hand and then picked up my foot.  My 2 partners were able to get to their feet 1 round of the table later and out in only 4 more rounds - the other team did not have a player that was able to play their foot.  We scored 5160 points and they had about 800.  The next hand was almost as fast and we was over 10,000 in only 2 hands. 
Game 2 was more even and with typical scores, taking 3 hands to complete, but we also won it.  The 3rd game was more drawn out - still in 3 hands, but seemed to take a lot more rounds to complete and the other team won.

Big Bear Bald Eagle Cam  home of Jackie & Shadow
Jackie & Shadow have "discussions" as Jackie has apparently given up on the fact that her eggs will not be hatching this season, Shadow has not given up.  Bless his heart! ((Shadow))  Jackie makes it clear to Shadow that they need to move on and maybe do some "bonding" for a second clutch ;) Love you Jackie & Shadow...
Jackie & Shadow will be featured on the NCIS TV show!  See below in red... for date and time.💜
(https://i.gyazo.com/200e863e68dc18fc7621cd019317fb8a.gif)
3-4-2023 Serious Discussions…Plus A BIG ANNOUNCEMENThttps://youtu.be/BtCFzNMhJQQ via FOBBV
Jackie seems to have accepted that these eggs are not going to hatch.
Yesterday, she made a midday visit to the nest for some leftover frozen lunch, but did not sit on the eggs all day.
As has happened in the past, Shadow seems more reluctant to let go. He sat a few times on the nest, but was in and out, like he couldn’t make up his mind. He left the eggs alone for a few hours…
…then apparently couldn’t handle leaving them by themselves all night. He returned last night after dark to incubate the eggs again. Shortly after he settled in, Jackie arrived. They had a loud, serious back and forth discussion. After what sounded like an intense argument, and then some begging from Jackie, Shadow got up and flew off the front porch.
Jackie acted a bit unsure about getting into the nest bowl, then finally moved in and sat on the eggs…but she only stayed put for 3 minutes. She got up and flew off the back porch toward Shadow on a nearby roost tree. As soon as she left the nest, Shadow started chortling from the roost tree, sounding upset. They argued back and forth again. Within a minute of them finishing that discussion, Shadow arrived back on the nest and took over sitting on the eggs for the night.
It seems that Jackie, as she has done in the past, was working to get Shadow to accept what was happening with the eggs. Since she only stayed a few minutes, she may have only come in to sit on the eggs so that Shadow would leave. When she left, Shadow’s loud and immediate reaction, then lots of intense chortling back and forth seemed again like an argument. Apparently, Shadow did not agree with her decision to leave the eggs. To fix it, he came to the nest immediately to sit on the eggs himself. He spent the whole night on the nest, leaving about 4:30 this morning. So, in spite of what Jackie may have wanted, he did what he needed to do. 
Today, it seems that Jackie finally convinced him to accept what was happening—neither of them visited the nest or sat on the eggs all day.
From here, we will see what happens with the eggs. It is possible that a raven or other predator might get them. It is possible that they get buried into the nest if Jackie and Shadow start bringing sticks. It is possible that Fiona (the flying squirrel who visits the nest at night) will try to carry them away—she has tried in the past, but the eggs were way too big for her to pick up.
…we will also watch to see what happens with laying new eggs. It is possible that Jackie will lay another clutch of eggs. Bald eagles normally lay one clutch per year, but when something happens to the first eggs, they sometimes lay a second clutch. Jackie has done this in the past and has laid eggs as late as March. Jackie and Shadow were viewed mating since these original eggs were laid, so anything is possible. As always, they and mother nature get to determine what happens from here.
Thank you all for your patience and your continued curiosity and willingness to learn as we watch to see what they teach us next.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT…Jackie and Shadow are about to become genuine Movie Stars! They and their nest are being featured in an upcoming episode of the TV show NCIS! The episode will air at 9 pm on Monday, March 13 on CBS. Be sure to check them out in their fun new roles.

Big Bear Bald Eagle Cam home of Jackie & Shadow💜
Hi, I wanted to post this article via USA today (some of us are not able to view it) however, see link on bottom...
 Our Beautiful Jackie is fierce, strong, resilient, brave and determined (oh and bossy).  ;D  She reminds me of our dear Decorah Mom, Harriet & Ma Berry as well as all of our bald eagles across the world.  We love you Jackie!!

Highs, lows and heartbreak: How a pair of California eagles developed a worldwide fanbase March 5 2023 via USA TODAY
In more than 10 years in Big Bear Valley, Jackie has lost about a dozen eggs and eaglets, raised three hatchlings, fallen for two mates, braved blizzards and fought off countless enemies

(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/03/04/USAT/482b9529-e683-4052-8d63-027ec7f339bb-Screenshot_107.png?width=980&height=552&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
As a blizzard rolled in to Southern California's Big Bear Valley late last month, Jackie the bald eagle was doing what any caring mother would: protecting her children at all costs.

Jackie sat atop her two eggs for hours at a time, keeping watch so long that the falling snow blanketed everything but the faintest outline of her beak and tail. The attentive mama would doze off, get up to shake off the snow, check on the eggs and then nestle back down on them. (Her record is 27 hours.)

As Jackie faithfully cared for the eggs, her global fan base watched closely via a crystal-clear webcam that has been documenting her daily life since 2016.
The camera has captured the highs and lows of life as an American bald eagle. In more than 10 years in Big Bear Valley, Jackie has lost about a dozen eggs and eaglets, raised three hatchlings, fallen for two mates, braved blizzards and fought off countless enemies.
Most recently, Jackie has been struggling with her latest heartbreak.

A star is born
Jackie became the first eaglet hatched in Big Bear Valley in 2012, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley, a preservation group that operates Jackie's webcam and meticulously documents her life and that of her trusty mate, Shadow.

Jackie's parents, Ricky and Lucy, became the first known adult eagles who decided to stay in Big Bear Valley, which until then had only been a part-time winter destination for the species.

Big Bear resident Sandy Steers lives only a half-mile from where Jackie was born and watched her grow up from a distance.
"You could see her practicing flying, you could see them (Lucy and Ricky) bringing her food," Steers said. "I stood there for hours every day just watching because I was fascinated. That got me hooked and then I just wanted to see more."
That's when Steers and U.S. Forest Service employee got the idea to put up a webcam. It took two years to raise the $10,000 needed to buy and install the solar-powered camera, which sits 120 feet off the forest floor. 

(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/03/01/USAT/cf8f2e02-366a-4d6d-b4e5-adfd33066151-from_nest_nate.JPG?width=1960&height=1472&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)

Finding fame
Jackie lived in relative eagle obscurity before the webcam was installed. Now her YouTube page and a daily live chat require multiple moderators, who hail from Florida, Nebraska, Arizona and the Netherlands, reflecting Jackie's global fan base.

Jackie's popularity also has been bolstered by a Facebook page that has more than a half million followers who enjoy video highlights and regular, detailed updates.
In 2017, the camera captured Jackie's first romance. As thousands watched, she mated with an eagle named Mr. B, and the couple's eggs hatched in 2018.

In 2019 Shadow & Jackies little one ((Cookie)) died after a 24-hour rainstorm but the other, named Stormy, survived and left Big Bear that summer.
(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/03/03/USAT/270c5bb6-9f0e-48ec-a43f-83e91f458d9b-simba_and_cookie.jpg?width=720&height=430&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)

Soon after, a new male came to town, chased off Mr. B and stole Jackie's heart.
The interloper, Shadow, and Jackie have been together ever since, producing at least 11 eggs. Only two have survived: Simba and Spirit.
Who's the boss? Anyone who watches the eagle cam for even a few hours will quickly begin to observe the birds' many quirks. Personality wise, Jackie is definitely the boss. "She's very determined, very serious, and she expects to get her way," Steers said.

(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/03/03/USAT/53ace38f-c20f-404d-a7ec-32364f50a65d-jackie.jpg?width=980&height=552&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)

Jackie is also also bigger than Shadow and the main defender of the nest, which has to be guarded from ravens and other predators who would eat the couple's eggs. Though Shadow has to weather Jackie's moods, he's her perfect match. Unlike Mr. B.
"She bossed Mr. B around like crazy and he was kind of wimpy," Steers said. "But Shadow kind of stands up to her sometimes, and she seems to like that better."

A heartbreak and some hope
Since mid-January, Jackie and Shadow's followers have been excited for their two new eggs, tuning in to watch them dote over the future eaglets.
A Facebook post last week broke the bad news about the eggs, now many days overdue.
"It appears now that Jackie and Shadow’s eggs are not going to hatch," Tuesday's post said. "We cannot know exactly why — they could have not been fertilized, or could have stopped developing somewhere along the process ... We will simply trust that nature knows best what it is doing and why."
One fan wrote that she was "heartbroken for these two loving and dedicated eagle parents."
"I love these two and my heart just breaks for them," another user wrote. "All the hard time laying on the nest through all this bad weather and never giving up. Bless them."

As of Saturday, Jackie and Shadow were still dutifully caring for the eggs, though they've started leaving them unattended for hours at times.
(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/03/03/USAT/df82d8e7-6bff-4941-b1bd-814d92ed114f-Screenshot_104.png?width=980&height=552&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)

Based on their previous behavior with eggs that never hatched, Jackie and Shadow may continue to care for the eggs for several weeks before giving up, Steers said.
Although it's a big blow both to the eagle parents and their followers, there's still hope for eaglets this year, Steers said.
The couple have mated recently and still have time to lay more eggs, a possibility that will be closely monitored by their followers.

"Thankfully Jackie and Shadow still have many years of being able to hatch eggs!" one fan wrote on Facebook. "Looking forward to continuing to watch them."

Bonnie & Clyde. Hatch in Progress Report Egg #1; Bonnie returns w/bird prey; Clyde eats prey. https://youtu.be/g5LA2X229iQ via androcat
March 6, 2023, is Day 34.  Incubation period for Great Horned Owls is 30-37 days.
Bonnie takes two breaks, allowing us to see the hatch progress on Egg #1.  When she returns from her first break, she brings bird prey with her, likely provided by Clyde.  Early AM 3-6-23, Clyde arrives with rodent prey.  Bonnie does not appear interested, and Clyde swallows the prey. Thank you, Farmer Derek, for the live cams, allowing us to observe wildlife on the farm, and Bonnie & Clyde, Great Horned Owls

Some bounce
Wow. I'm surprised I was only outside for 45 minutes. I did half the sidewalk and then all of our side of the driveway which meant I had to push a bunch of snow over on my brother's side first. I was only able to move about one foot square at a time because it is so heavy.
Camper is off to his eye doctor appointment and will take over the snow removal when he gets back.
Time to rest...

Text from Barb: Sue is going home this afternoon! Pain is more manageable. Great news!

Lori, thanks for all the updates! So Jackie is kind of acting like DNF, she knows the egg won't hatch... Sad, they have not had the best luck at Big Bear...  Thanks for the story of Shadow and Jackie.  Bonnie and Clyde, how cute! We used to keep up with Allesondra's Owl Cam several years ago, buy the owls finally left and Alesondra grew up... They were Tiger and Mrs. Tiger, Great Horned Owls. They nested in a flower box on a ledge outside Alesondra's bedroom window.

oldguy, great video, View from the bottom of cats! And on the MN DNR nest, not only emerging from the snow, but a changing of the guard as well! Thanks!

Lisa, love that Beach Boys song!

Lani, thanks for the video of M15 running the intruder out!  Love how the eaglets follow Dad in the sky!

The Forgotten Iowa Historical Society - Kendall W. Countryman  ·  Four legged tree in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
One hundred years ago (1915), John Henning planted 4 linden tree saplings—2 on either side of the walk—leading up to his front door. Mr. Henning, a farmer who had immigrated from Germany as a young man, had moved into town when he retired. With lots of expereince grafting apple trees, he aimed to imitate the archways of lindens he recalled from Berlin. First, the two on the same side of the walk were lashed together and grafted. Then when each pair was tall enough to arch over the walk, he grafted the pairs. Over time, a towering trunk grew from the original four.  The four-legged tree of Cedar Falls has weathered two major setbacks in its long life. Not too many years after Mr. Henning started his project, the front right tree died and a replacement was grafted in. Thus the lesser girth of that trunk.  Source: Marcia Milner-Brage/Urban Sketchers

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


Lani, yep, not a happy ending for either of our teams the other day. I know it's hard to watch them lose, but your team will still be a number 1 seed in the NCAA Tourney, and more than likely will be the Overall Number 1 Seed!  They had a great season, especially against Quad 1 teams! Let the Cozy Burger Feast begin at your house!  ;) :D  However, my team's loss last Saturday most likely means it may have missed its last oh-so-slight remaining chance to even get any berth to play in the NCAA Tourney this year at all!!  Big difference in the impact of those losses for each of our teams this past weekend.  My team kinda sorta gets a "last chance" for an "at-large" invite to the NCAA Tourney IF they have a couple of spectacular wins in their ACC Conference Tournament. Their first game in their conference tourney is tomorrow night.  We'll see.  Sigh...

Phyl, glad you finally got your power, cable, and internet back! Sorry about the roof shingles, and hope there are no leaks. We get used to seeing blue tarps on roofs here in my tropical storm/hurricane land. But I hope you won't need one, and hope you can get the missing shingles replaced soon, too!

E4E, pleeezzze, sip a pretty drink with a paper umbrella in it for me while you're there!  ;) :D  Enjoy being in Paradise!!  :)

(((TSK))), Yay, you're getting discharged!  :)  I know "going home from the hospital day" is usually pretty taxing. I hope you can get settled in before too late in the day, and find a comfort zone so you can get some sleep tonight in your own bed. Lord knows, sleep is hard to come by in the hospital!  ::)  Hugs and continuing prayers for your healing and comfort.  :-*

Both of us got very good reports from our eye  doc.  ;D  And, experienced a new device for screening for MD. Jim passed. ANd, I got a stunned doc who said my mild case was gone.  It had to be the Preservision Areds2.  She said no medical reason for me to take them. But, I'll finish what I do have.
Due to age we go back in September.


Clynn luv the greetings for today.  Discovered that my subscription to Nat Geo online had expiered so the links I posted won't work. Shucks!
What an enderaring photo of E21/22 shared by Sue from Marti Lord. Sad in a way those kids will never know their mother ...
Thanks for the update on TSK---so glad she's home. I  hope Lulu can cuddle with her and send  out those healing MHz (purrs)!
Very interesting read from  The Forgotten Iowa Historical Society - Kendall W. Countryman  ·  Four legged tree in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Hi Lisa many thanks for the cocoa the 'donots' are ever so tempting. I can smell them. LOL   

Eagles looking forward to  your return  and the awesome photos you'l share.  ;D

Tig will be thinking and praying for Camper's BIL  heart surgery.   {{Tig, Camper, BIL}}

Oldguy glad to read  your weather is improving; I parents were old Canasta players and a team themselves to be 'feared' on game night.  There was a group of 8 couples,  varing occupations. Each couple would host the bi-weekly Friday night gatherings lasting from 7pm to often 2am.  The smorgasboard of food   :o
Always enjoy Quarantine Kids .  Tks for kitty vids, too

Lori many th;anks for the nests updates/photos. Jackie/Shadow remind me somewhat of Audacity/Jak Sauces channel islands nest.

Hi Bazi  thank you for your good wishes. Maybe E4E (Eagles) will bring you one of those  little paper umbrellas. I iknow what you mean about them

Oldguy, Looks like you had a fun night of cards. I read the instructions to the game, my MIL would have liked it. She had a regular Canasta group.... poor Simon  ;D. .. enjoyed listening to Molly Tuttle & Tommy Emmanuel... always enjoy the Trio... heartwarming and yet sad story about Bubby, he probably was heartbroken when his owner died. Happy for his new life with his new owner.

Lori, thank you for posting Jackie & Shadow's history, pics and updates. It's sad about the losses they have endured over the years... and yet, they go forward... Thank you for posting Derek's Farmer's cam stars Bonnie and Clyde! They are so beautiful...  I forgot it's time for their nest. I'll put their nest up for Mike, he enjoyed watching them last year. Especially, since the nest is in Kansas. Take care  :-*

Clynn, the 4 legged tree is gorgeous, thanks for history... I loved eating candy cigarettes. I never had the desire to try the real thing. Both parents were smokers, and Mike was a 4 pack a day smoker.

Tig, take care

Baz, Mike is very hopeful about the Jayhawk's seeding, but, they've been up and down this year. Great teams in Big 12, it'll be tough.. We talked about UNC after Saturday's game, Mike think they pull out big wins in ACC this week and will play in the tourney. Did you watch Michigan and Indiana? Great game. But, win or lose, what fun we will have watching! I wonder what the Cinderella teams will be. They play with so much heart. God, I love this time of year.  ;D

Kb, you'll have to stack the snow like they do at Mammoth Lake.  :(

{{{gentle hugs Tsk}}} Welcome home. I pray you're having a peaceful sleep.

Lani, candy cigarettes, along with those wax soda shapes with liquid inside, Necco wafers, Chuckles, Sugar Daddys, Walnettos and on and on! The candy we got at the movies! I remember Mom & Dad dropping Cathy and I off at the theater Saturday mornings while they went grocery shopping. This was at the Air Force Base in AZ. We each got a quarter, that paid for our admission (15 cents) and 5 cents each for a drink and a candy. Memories...

tsk, hoping you are feeling a little better each day...

My Mom has been using PresserVision for a few years, I wonder if her eyes are better.  You caught the sunrise at the perfect moment in the Cliff View photo. Do you sit and wait for a good picture or just take a pic when you first see the view? It sure doe look like more eggs will be coming for Aryana!

Porcupine parents protect their babies from a leopard.

This is intense, but at the end the leopard skulks away with quills all over his face....sharing this in advance so you can get through the video!

Lisa - nice thought....they say our drought is basically gone with all this snow?...but, you'd be surprised how dry the soil can get in a few hot/dry days here in the summer needing to water.
Our soil will be frozen till sometime later so any rain just rolls away...our creeks, lakes, and rivers however are going to be happy!

Morning all...it's surprising to me my left thumb hurts again after recovering from the last snow shovel event so I will leave the snow on the lower deck for now and take Ollie for a walk.

When a finger/thumb are impaired it's a good reminder how much we use our hands in our daily lives.

Will catch up on the 10+ pages I have to read through tomorrow but wanted to let you know, I'm home as of  5 PM last night and asleep when my head hit the pillow at 8 PM  Using the walker as before,  Tim  hauled some more equipment up from the basement to keep us safer.  Surgery was about 2- 2 -1/2 hours.

Pain across my back is epic! when a change of position happens  " sit to stand" - reverse.  Side lying to sitting on the edge of the bed. and reverse.  I'm most comfortable walking so did two 5 minute walks and will continue to monitor.  Had a low BP in hospital and had me take a med to better that.  Also my Oxygen tubing often fell pretty low but was corrected. I was in a double room with a very nice lady with problems of her own.

Took 2 people always to turn me or to sit on the side of the bed. Moved rooms twice.  Very short staffed and cannot imagine what that must have been like during COVID  Then the usual - walk a certain distance, do a couple of stairs and "poop"  [TMI] 
]
Thank you CLYNN for accepting the journalism job description.  And a BIG THANKS for all of your prayers and good wishes.

Not sure if I forgot or if it was mentioned - what hospital was it?

42 and cloudy with some light rain approaching around noon - the snow is going to our north today...  Tomorrow is a different story - NWS has posted a weather warning for us to get 3-6 inches of snow - depending on how soon our temps drop to freezing or below.  We are also to get another 2 inches on Sat afternoon.  Temps are to peak in the mid to upper 30s everyday. 
Decorah will be all snow Thursday with 5-8 inches of heavy snowfall as well as the snow that falls today and Sat.

oldguy - Thanks for the videos. 

kb - The Irish sheep and baby are adorable.  You sound like Jeff. He doesn't let snow or rain stop him from grilling.  :D

Lori - Love your "12 days till Spring" pics.

Tomorrow's snowfall is still not a stable forecast on amount - one model is almost twice the amount as another one... ???  NWS has been changing the winter weather watch for here about every 6 hours with the amount going up and now going down.  ???
Today the radar showed light rain over Iowa City for about 3 hours - never saw a drop of it on the ground here...

Tsk - I double checked the video and I found no problems on my computer - they were all YouTube videos so should not have been any issue for your Apple device.  Possibly an out of memory freeze on the device.  I know on the Apple phones I used over 5 years ago, I would have them freeze with too many apps open at once.

Hi all Beakers!
For some reason, my laptop is not letting me sign in, so I am using my hubby's laptop. 

Tsk - That is such good news that you are back!!!!  Wishing you all the best with your recovery and may you feel pain free as much as possible.

Clynn - Love your Bella pics!!! 

Puff - Thank you so much for the beautiful & generous surprise we got when we returned to our hotel room after being gone all day!!!!  I don't know how you pulled it off - but you DID!!!  Sent you a p.m. {{Puff}}

Our flight brings us back into CA airport this Saturday @ 11 p.m.  We are having a most wonderful anniversary/retirement vacation - of which we are so grateful.

I keep trying to check in and see how everyone and their families are and the status of the nests.

Tsk hope you've not 'over done things'  and pace yourself.  That's a really festive graphic today.
How thoughtful of Tim to make your breakfast---is he gonna do this every day?  What was the menu? 

Oldguy agree on the walking---seems to bring one back to normal regardless of the surgery;
Lots of links to watch later---dentist took longer than expected, he was busy today    :o    was hoping Y'all were finished with the white stuff.
At any rate 'hunker down' NE Iowa.

Kb  sweet Ewe and her lamb; whose holding Ollie's leash?

Lori nice collage, crocus, snowdrop, puppies and kittens

T40    'Does a bear 's---' in the woods.  ;D

Tsk  I  >:(  when that happens to a long post.

A cross between liking to make people smile and taking advantage of my job/contacts . . .

After many years I know the destinations and personnel personally.  Why not share with my people? 

E4E has been so gracious with her hugs this year. Love all of you.  If I have a friend (in this case a friend in Hawaii and a friend in CA) why not connect the dots.  Fun and easy for me to do.

I'll be offline Monday to Sunday for a conference on European river cruising.  Trust me, it's not free and the flights looooong.  We'll get inside with the CEO's of 9 major river cruises.  I'll know a whole lot more and get up-to-date info on what's new and what's changed during the 2 1/2 hiatus we went through.  New contacts, too.  Not sailing anywhere.  They bring the ships to us in Budapest.  We hop from ship to ship checking them out and taking in new information.  Not the same as what is gleaned from expedia or the puter.

Commercial warning:  I've been to the islands at least a dozen times.  (Lani has me on that one.)  Stayed at the Sheraton Kauai at least 3x.  I get at least 100 email specials a day from providers.  If there's something good they want us to know, they talk to me.  I have certifications on many destinations, mostly my favs, and special listings around the globe.  And, many connections, a plethora of people and knowledge.  Don't know everything; I have to keep traveling to learn.  ::) 

We on the forum and beak have the use of OG regarding lawnmovers, Robin Blum and Sue for camera hints, Amy and several others re the computer world.  Even get the lastest recipies and movie/TV shows.  We all love sharing and helping.  Almost forgot Brett and his bird tracking.

All this experiene/knowledge/time and work at your disposal.  And, no extra cost.   If you want to shop that's a good addition.  But when you're done, run it by a pro.

Hi Puff   Wow. That's some conference!   Sounds like a really  busy and yet fun time. Looking forward to your're return with all the latest news , trends and offerings.

Clynn Jackie/Shadow's eggs  :'(

Lani Larry & Dan pooled their money and with 3 outfits gave her to me for Christmas that year.   Blonde, poodle bangs ( ie Lucille Ball) pony tail in that zebra striped one piece swim suit.The girls in their class told them I'd love her and learn alot about being a girl from Barbie. :) 
 
Oldguy just caught up on some of your vids, lovely cats of Istanbul

Lani - I'm sorry that it is not working.  Like I said, its a real pain.  I will see if there is a way that I can save some of the pics, and post them here, or to you in a PM.  :)

E4E - Good to see you, and glad to hear that you all are having a wonderful time!

oldguy - Yikes, on the weather update!

clynn - Cute pics of Bella.  Hope she is feeling OK.  So sad about Big Bear, I hope they have a 2nd clutch.

Puff - Enjoy your conference! 

Phyl - Pretty purple cup and saucer.  Highlights were a big hit in the doctor/dentist office, too.  I remember that as a kid.

http://36 right now, high 37. Yesterday the snow prediction was 5-8", now it's 1-3".

Puff, like what you say about sharing your knowledge and 'special powers'! We all have something we excel at and it feels good to share with those that we care about! It keeps us all learning!

Phyl, what a wonderful video of a bird's first flight! They all looked familiar! Glad to see that #7 is still hanging in there at Sauces! Great different view at GSB!

Lisa, love the good morning pic!  So how is that pile of baby girl things going? I am remembering all of the things I acquired so that I would be ready...Pack 'n Play, bouncy seat, walker, high chair...not to mention the clothes.

Lani, funny about Barbies...my sister and I each had one, both had the Bubble haircut. And I think we each also had a Midge doll, and we played and played with them. No houses, furniture or anything. Just the clothes our Grandmother made for them.  Bella has 10 'Barbies' here our our house (even the Ken dolls are Barbies), along with a lot of accessories and clothes.  Its crazy. We played with them through 6th grade, I can remember playing with them on the concrete patio in Arizona. I still have mine, along with the case.  Dang, it's easy to go off on a tangent...but it seem like not that long ago...   Love your happy dance for tsk!

E4E, hope you and Kris are having a wonderful time!  Earth will still be here when you return...  ;D

Singing!....cool pic.

Morning all.

Ollie is tied to his lead...attached to a pole...and is hooked to the house...Scott's idea and people are impressed with it when they see it...I can tie him up under the roof of my steps and not get wet.

No real melting here....Andrew plowed a little too close on my grass and cut a deep line in it.....ugg, I had to throw the now cut grass on top of my snow pile.

Am questioning for next year whether or not to go with the snowblower guy or the plow guy.
The plow definitely wears my driveway out faster....the snowblower guy is more expensive?...will need to mull it over next year and make a decision.

What fun Puff...and also for Eagles4.....still jealous Eagles4! ;) ;)

clynn - The pile of baby girl clothes is coming along nicely.  Jeff's supervisor has a lil girl, and they are not planning on having any other children, so he gave Bradley & Kelly a pack-n-play and high chair.  Both are in very good shape.  Great pic of Rosie!  Our ospreys are just now returning to their nests here.

Tig  ;D

Lisa, the wedding photos are lovely, Bradley and Kelly are adorable. Many warm wishes are sent their way! And thanks for letting us view their gallery.  ;D

Kb, great morning pic! You are blessed to have two choices of helpers...  Just my thoughts, Andrew has been tremendous help to you, I've read about him in all your posts. If you got a good helper he's a keeper. To find help here is difficult. So I do it myself. I have no choice since Mike can no longer do physical work. I don't bug him about it, it's not his fault. I plant a kiss on him and quietly move on. I'm looking for someone to help me cut down a couple of dead oaks and help me with the heavy firewising this spring. I can't do it alone anymore. When the wash behind our home is dried it's difficult for me to carry the big trash bags full of dead brush/debri across it and up the wash to the road. So, I say YIKES! It is what it is and I move on. Like you do.  ;D

Clynn, YIKES is right, then move on... Fun memories with your sister  ;D .... Rosie  :-*. I love ospreys my heart can hardly wait to see Iris again.

{{{Puff}}}, I hope you'll share your conference news with us. You should write a book. :)

Phyl, Thanks for nests pics/updates... when I was in school, I enjoyed doing the Highlight lessons as extra credit during school hours. My Barbie was a Santa gift. I made her clothes.

Andres Mauricio Vasquez Lasso

Sad local news - Young Chicago policeman killed working a domestic abuse case.  32 years.  St. Rita Church, beautiful church I first visited when a teen.  A dear friend from college and a "southside Irish" saint of a gal also remembered there, passed about 3 years ago.  Beautiful campus, for years a catholic monestary; now affiliated with coed St. Rita high school.

Young wife gave my point of view during her thank you words:

Hi Beakers!  HAPPY DAY!  :)


I'm off to run an errand, and then I will be engaged in some "March Madness."  ;) :D

So... Later, gators!  :D


P.S. Lani, I will be checking in regularly on "your game" this afternoon, and listening for Mike's "whoops" on the wind.  ;) :D  At the same time as "your game," I will also be checking in on the game being played by my team's biggest rival team (you-know-who). My team plays tonight.

We've got the games on now, Wake Forest vs Miami.

Bill Self will not be coaching the game today.
They just announced he's ill.  :(. He was at practice yesterday.

Anway, it'll be all basketball on the tv now!!!  ;D

Good luck  8)

Lani and tig - I agree with both of your comments..

My heart tugs for Andrew of course but it is good to know Trevor is available as a back up...he too did a good job. Andrew helps me all year long as well.

For those who don't live in the tundra, some of my thoughts on my choice...if not interested, scroll on by ;)

A plow leaves stuck to the tar tire tracks that in Dec-Feb are like ice and hard to remove but I do..
A plow will definitely scrape the tar and make it deteriorate faster.
A snowblower can throw the snow deeper into my garden making piles along the driveway shorter..
A plow is cheaper than a blower, the blower takes more time...
I could plan on sealing my driveway more frequently like annually rather than every other year as it's an older driveway but it's foundation is good.
This defeats the idea that its cheaper to use a plow over snowblower however.
Trevor will come to me first, Andrew I am last on his least as I don't believe in paying a flat rate for a whole season in advance.

Like I said my heart and loyalty to Andrew will probably prevail unless either of them do something different next season.

None of this would make that much of a difference except for our historic record amount of snow this year.
Hoping for an average year next year...

Tsk, Payson has several community associations, vets, food bank, Elk and moose lodge members, etc., that reach out to our homeless, vets, unskilled labor... but, you can make more $$$ in the valley. Today, I was able to get someone to help me this April. I'll do the raking/bagging, he'll cut the two oaks and clean up other trees whose branches are too low this year, and help me with the other side of my creek/wash, and take the debris to the town dump for me.  :) ... thinking of you and sending you prayers.  :-*

Clynn thanks for update on Rosie and view of her nest on  San Fran Bay. Great action shot.

Kb looks like a good ol fashioned 'howl'.   Andrew and Trevor are keepers.

Lisa McAfee put the 'kabash' on photographer's web site---says it's unsafe.  :(

Tsk good idea not to over do the walks and increase as per dr's Tx orders. LOL Tim.  So, no healing purrs from Lulu?

Puff  touching story about Young Chicago policeman killed working a domestic abuse case. I remember when the story broke the news.

Lani  Tks for the Royal update/photos.    Had 'HiLight's  start out as  extra  work over the summer then we just continued  to at home  supplement the class to make room for more advance material.  We did the SRA Reading Labratory program in class with all those colored reading levels.   ;D

T40 in process of listening to John's NPR talk. Tks for sharing

Lori Jim's pressing me for dinner.  ::)   So, on the fly and very   quickly--- in 24 yrs in Nashville seen  Dale Hallow many times on the river tour as nest 'sort of' hangs over Cumberland R. as it junctures the Obey R. daming at this point  forms the lake. I believe  'Obey' gets her name from t his as does 'River'. . Dale Hallow Reservoir lies mostly in Northern Tenn. Anyway, it goes something like this/that.   :P
A few years back I use to post updates about this nest in  here. But, no one seemed interested at the time.

Anyway  this is a good reference link :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Hollow_Reservoir (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Hollow_Reservoir)

kb I've learned one universal truth about our USA northern latitudes over the years.
The sun angle always wins in the end and melts IT.
Winter is always seasonally cyclical from point A to B, sometimes by a few miles or elevation and we really have no say on Her (Mother Nature) weather whims.
We choose/chose where to put our abode's many many moons ago.
I've been a bit nomadic in my lifetime. I and my abode's have resided above 49.0 N cumulatively for years.
One chooses to either embrace their Location or flee to other possible Mother Nature variables and her power.     

You have done a great job and I think that you can look forward to the light at the end of the tunnel.
And hopefully (glass half full) it's not a late season freight train headed at you.

The snow yesterday was a fizzle, all the weather folks were off. We got a few inches, maybe 2.5" but it was just above freezing and it melted off all the roads and sidewalks fairly soon. A few more flakes later but also gone quickly. And they were saying 5-8".  High today 38.

Lisa, I am enjoying a cup of joy right now! Isn't it fun to gather all the things you need to be a Grandma? HM is doing a wonderful job, I can't wait to see the little ones! It's been too long in Decorah!

BL, I can't watch that dude, he makes me crazy...

Lani, love your good night picture...you always find good ones! Happy to hear that you found some help for the outside work, something you don't need to be doing any more. I have Erin for some things, like mowing and snow removal and I know I am lucky for that! I hired a guy last fall to get the leaves and generally clean up the yard, neighbors recommended him. He was a disappointment and never came back to finish the job. Oh I love the best friends grow old together tweet... so sweet...

Phyl, love that good night pic, I looked up the artist, she has many lovely prints! I remember watching the Dale Hollow nest many years ago, I think we were all so enthralled with the eagles we watched every nest that came up! Then there just got to be so many... There weren't very many nest cams when Decorah started the trend in 2011. And good morning! Cute leprechaun!

SWFL Eagles - Katie Bonner - I'm sitting here watching M feed these babies. And I realize why The Bald Eagle is our country's emblem.   This little family are strong willed survivors. They've been through so much losing their matriarch, fighting off intruders, some days not eating much at all. And they just won't give up. Sorry if this is cheesy. I can get sentimental sometimes. We should all learn a lesson from these majestic birds of prey. Even when life is hard keep pushing. I'm thankful for this group a lot. I have a lot happening in my personal life and get depressed and this group and the eagles make me happy. Love u guys.

BL  Interesting data on Minneapolis high snowfall years

LANI   Beautiful snowy in your good night post  :)

Kb, that poor baby panda probably got more bruised by mom! LOL! She was determined to get him in. LOL!!! Typical kid! Loved it!  ;D ;D ;D

Tsk, "independent" keeps us young  ;) ... take care  :-*

BL, thanks  ;D

Phyl, thanks for update pics.

Lori, you and Destini have a great day, and I love your photos of the beautiful raptor and bird families.  :-*

The year I was born, yes, but we ain't done yet.
Just got a couple more last night and more to come Sat/Sunday....
Mother Nature only knows what our final totals will be.

Out to shovel now, once again....

I think we only got about a half inch that didn't melt. Will get lots more tomorrow night. I'm saving myself for the Sunday shovel. LOL.

Just back from the pool and a quick clean of the walk. I made white chicken chili again yesterday. I add stuff to the recipe: tumeric, garlic, curry, (more) cumin, thyme. I doled a portion for Bro who will be clearing our driveway today and (hopefully) Sunday.

A gentleman from the pool takes tumeric twice daily. He swears by it... as an anti-inflammatory.

Phyl - Great pics from the cam this morning. 

tsk - Glad you all did not get the heavy snow that was predicted.

Phyl, my team lost last night. Boo hoo.  End of their basketball season.  I will still watch here and there where I have interests in other teams' games till the end of the final game of the upcoming NCAA Tourney.

Clynn, I agree with you about that weather forecaster.  I watched him twice, which turned out to be once too many for me. LOL. I can relate to that "age acting" meme you posted because I had another birthday not too long ago, and became a new age I've never been before.  If I had that dress, I would wear it!  ;D   I loved the pics you posted of Bella yesterday!  :-*

BL, you and Kopje have a big ole powder-flying Bluey time!

Lisa, LOL, thanks!

Lori, thanks for the nest news and views!

Lani, hope your firewise helper comes through! Congrats to your Jayhawks. I'll be checking in on them tonight. Their Asst. Coach is excellent. I have been staying tuned to the updates on all related to Bill Self's recent illness and treatment. I'm hoping and expecting for him to make a quick and full recovery, and maybe, just maybe, even be on the sidelines again sometime during the upcoming NCAA Tourney... fingers crossed for him, with wishes and prayers for renewed health.  Meanwhile, I will also be checking in on my conference's game being played tonight at the same time as your Kansas game. Thank you, TV remote. And... "Go Miami!"  :D  My "Beat Duke" button is firmly attached to my sweater - and it will be until it works!!!   ::) ;D ;D ;D

Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge - For those who have misunderstood or misinterpreted our previous post, the attached ground image is of the only 2 eagles seen on the nest (formerly Trio nest, but abandoned by the Trio March 2022). The repairs to wiring and restoration of the cam are only recently achieved. These are our first cam looks as well. We are sitting back observing to see what unfolds. Neither Valor has returned. This could be Starr with a new mate. We will continue to observe before making that call. We have no other cameras on nests and can lend no insight as to other eagle activity.

baz - Great pics of Punkin and Baby Bro!

I have not been sharing too much on what I have been seeing on my trail cam, cause I have not wanted to jinx anything, but we have finally got this sweet lil girl to trust us enough.  Today, was the first day that she came inside our house.  Bandit and her hissed, smelled each other and seem to be getting along, so far (fingers crossed).  Here is a pic of her in Bandit's condo, which he was not all that crazy about  ;D Jeff has named her Misty.

Many thanks for Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge update. This nest will be interesting, too.

Lisa   This is fantastic news --- made my day!
 Awwww Misty. :-*
Hopefully another kitty off the street and in a furever home. Bandit should learn to 'luv' her in time.  :-*

Baz, Baby Bro is adorable holding on to his big's sisters hand.. Raudel always keeps his word... love the sunglasses on both, they look great, as does mom! ... Bill Self had some type of medical procedure and is doing wel, the assistance coach is doing great job! Thanks.  :) .... well, have you ever thought of wearing a GO DUKE button? They may lose, it sometimes works that way  ;D

Clynn, beautiful pic of the SWFL wingspan.... prayers for Sauces family... awww the Valors haven't returned, that's sad... nothing ever stays the same.

Lisa, oh my gosh, is that B&B Misty Kitty? She's a beauty. You and Jeff did great!  ;D. Bandit will settle in better with a female rather than another male. Bandit will settle soon.

Good night!

Phyl - Cute lil pots of shamrocks last night.  We would like to make her strictly an indoor kitty.  There is still other kitties hanging around the B&B outside.  I will continue to feed them, but I am not bringing them inside.  We bought a new B&B that is arriving either today or Monday.

tsk - We cannot imagine this kitty belonged to anyone else, as it is very skittish.  We are going to take it to the vet, as soon as it lets us pick her up.  When we try, she hisses at us and jumps out of our arms.  I told Jeff it cannot be a year old, as it is small.  We did not let her out last night, and it used the litter box! 

Lani - Yes, that is Misty B&B Kitty.   I agree, I think Bandit is OK with the kitty, cause it is female.  I don't think he would have tolerated a male.

Lisa, I bet it won't be long before you find Bandit and Misty curled up together.  If she was gray you could have named her Smokey! I am always amazed at how cats can keep their white fur so white! Great pics on FB!

Phyl, awww that kitty is so sweet... Good news on #7 at Sauces!! I think if it was going to break it would have by now. The cat puking alarm clock, yes, that would work. But it is extremely rare that you make it in time to get the cat off the carpet...  30 now, high 35 today. Some snow, 1-3" but it will be like Thursday. Wet and melty...

Lani, yeah, I was disappointed that neither of the Valors have been spotted at the old Trio nest site... Maybe they will if Starr shows up!

Happy Caturday Beakers!
Morning.Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Tsk, I hope this is a good day for you  :-*.

Kb, good story about hippos  ;D  You know if I lived in Florida or in gator states. I would almost prefer a hippo floating around.. but, I bet Baz would disagree and I would understand  ;D. ... the sun is rising earlier so we head out for our morning walks at 6:15am. A new pup is in our neighborhood and looks just like the Ollie man, very sweet dog. Though Sadie isn't a very sociable dog when she's walking with her pack. She's a suspicious thing. I wish she was more open to new pups. There is a six month old chocolate lab named Ranger and a sweet year old Scottish Terrier named Lily, I'd love her to warm up to. but no luck.

Clynn, great morning posts! Colonel Meow and the Pope!  ;D

Lisa, Milo and Norman were rescued feral cats when I picked them up from humane society 2018. It took a year before Milo would let me pet him and just these last few months, he's starting to cuddle near me and want to be petted. But, if I try to pick him up he pushes away. And oh what a talker he is! YAK YAK YAK! Especially when Mike gets up in the morning and he's getting ready for the day. I can hear Milo just chatting up a storm in the bathroom to Mike.  ;D. ... B&K sent me a link to their gallery this morning. The photographer really did an excellent job of setting the scenes, very natural and there's a happy lightness in the photos. Kelly has beautiful hands.... about Misty using the litter box. I've had 12 rescue cats, and everyone one of them immediately knew to use the litter boxes, never had a problem about that. Though, at one time I had 4-5 little boxes available in the basement for my 10-12. I have 2 for Milo and Norman, one large bin in home and the other in garage. They use both at different times. Males cats are especially territorial, that's why I think Bandit will do well with Misty. When she trusts you use the towel system to get her in the carrier. Sorry, for yakking too much today!  ;D

Phyl, it's not necessary to lose sleep on my account to post your update pics, but thanks... poor Sauces mom 🙏🏼

Lani - Oh I love hearing when peeps see doppelganger Ollie men!.....sounds like Sadie wouldn't allow you to take a pic but if you get an opportunity, I'd love to see it.

Tonight is move your clocks forward night, ;).....for us that means darker again in the morning.

Tell me as I forgot, you in AZ don't do that right?

kb - LOL, I am sure if there was a hippo roaming the neighborhood, Jeff would want one! 

Lani - Never be sorry for yakking, I appreciate it.  We will definitely try to towel system.  Misty is a talker too, and is constantly meowing.  Bandit has never been a talker. 

T40 - Thanks for the videos, as always!

tig - The bold north...where are you headed?

Phyl and kb - Thanks for the, Don't forget to turn your clocks reminder!

tsk - I was getting ready to ask how you are feeling, but I see your comment to Lani.  ((HUGS))!

Have to share a funny pic that Jeff took earlier.
This picture shows the enthusiasm Bandit has for Misty.

I've absolutely been in your Yak Trax before.
By mid March you have to just throw your hands up in the air and say Uncle and get Cabin Fever silly with it all.

In time know you and Chris will just laugh and fondly remember the Winter of 23'.

And since you made it into the top ten you might as well aim for the top 5.
Think about it if you take away the 1916-1917 Winter you only need about 5 or 6 more inches for the rest of this season.
Might as well have some fun with it .. ay'.  :)

Borough Hall will just have to reprint all of the T-shirts to top 5 at the tax payers expense of course.  ;)  ::)
And as Scott would appreciate, smiling looking down saying you go/went Girl, all of the chiropractic vouchers will have gone to the DPW folks by 05/15/23.

Yes, I was just thinking about Scott earlier: It's true he is with me and laughing...He's not just in my imagination, nor my heart.....He's really with me...something like that anyway.....hard to describe.

Chris just said from now on we should just not shovel....let it pile up ya know....and maybe we won't have summer at all this year so what the hey..

My new thought though is at some point to use a big ol tarp...stand on the piles and throw it on it, and then drag the snow to the yard and gardens....so at least I'm a thinkin

Just a real world having been there done that thought.
A hippo flipped me and my very experienced river guide out of a water craft three full revolutions into the air and only assaulted just the conveyance.   
Boat was never seen again.
We were.

Note to self:
Don't underestimate to close to Moose or Hippos.
I think the only 5 planet critters to ever upset any of my water craft are a goose, beaver, bear, moose and a hippo.

I also know a marine mammal fin launched my sea kayak quite a bit in the air. You row you know.

That guide, A great Man very revered shared our experience frankly with me.
We shakily shared a very scary memory and a tepid Africans beer many years later in person.
He is gone now by natural causes. That hippo assault we share as our own.

but, I bet Baz would disagree and I would understand  ;D. ...

Lani you might want to re-think that .. In fact, hippos are known as one (if not the most) deadliest land animals in the world.
An angry hippo can easily out pace a human, averaging 20 mph in short bursts, whereas a human can typically only run 6-8 mph.
The African Buffalo is another one that you want give a really wide berth to.

Saying that both are ornery and have a distinctly irritable disposition is a understatement.  :o

Great post from BL to you! Great winter awards to you! ;D

T40, great videos... sad for the cats sensing earthquake, cat faking paw injury, gorgeous bird, but funny mating dance.... There are a lot of special Lindas out there, God Bless her... Awesome list of favorite small towns.

Lisa, yes, Bandit doesn't look happy LOL! But, Misty's chilling! LOL! 8) ... Jeff and a hippo. LOL!

{{{Hugs Tsk}}} we had 12 cats and 4 rescue dogs... there was an elementary school across of us, somehow these pups and cats always followed our girls home.  ??? ... I also had a stray that my favorite cat Weezel brought home one winter and stayed during the winter months. Black cat, I named him Mr Cat, I kept a place for him in the garage. I fixed a way for him to get into the garage in the winter, a covered box with little heating pad, food/water. He never allowed anyone near, except Weezel.... Be kind to yourself and take care.  :-*

BL, great post to KB.  ;D ... no worries for me, not planning to be near a hippo or gator unless its in a zoo. But I get what you're saying.  :)

Tig, rest in peace Bud Grant

Baz, OUCH! what a game! I took my wine glass, cheese/crackers and hid in my office... We think their heart wasn't in it for some reason. But Kudos to Texas! Played tough!

Oldguy, I hope you've had a good week. You and your better half are enjoying a fun night of cards and fellowship!   ;D

Clynn any news from Karen---how's she doing?

Oldguy  hope you both had some winning hands last night. And a good time had by all. Fresh work week ahead hope it’s good to you. And my Jim.

Hi Eagles  How’s Star? Bet you got lots of wet kisses.  ;)

BL nice acoustic by Steve Winwood last night ---first time I’ve heard that song—like his rendition Tks

How right you are about Hippos. They are savage /scary carnivores.
Fairly accurate portrayal of them in remake of  1995 Jumanji  . Absolutely nothing ‘cute’ about them.

T40 like so many---first heard " Anyhow" on a Chevrolet truck  commercial.  Awesome song/voice. Really enjoyed the band.  Now I know more.  Tks for posting  .;) :)

Lisa Bandit and Misty, wonder what those two are up to while their humans are snoozing.  :o  LOL

Bischue and Nrstooge hope y'all are okay

Lani - Oh my, I think I would be confused with your time change thing.  LOL, love how the kitties and pups followed your girls home! 

Phyl - Bandit seems to be warming up more.  Have not heard any more hissing at each other last evening or this morning.  Here is a pic of the new B&B that we bought and put together yesterday.  It is insulated, with a shingle roof, and the top opens.  I hope these cats appreciate us.   ;D

baz - OMG, that is too funny...that was exactly Bandit's Caturday Cattitude!  ;D ;D

tsk - That was my same thought when I saw the pic Jeff took...if looks could kill.  Bandit seems to be accepting that someone else is in the house.  He wants to get by her, but she wants to head butt him and he is like, ummm no!  ;D

Awwww Misty  :-*  Poor Bandit, not quite ready for the ultimate "I really like you.",  head butt. So glad he's getting more accepting and friendlier toward her.   And, hissing has stopped.  ;)

Dark mornings again for a while. :P

BAZI  Like the "Bandit" poster  ;D

BL   I had heard that about  hippos before.  I would never have guessed that tho.

LANI   I love your rescue stories.  :)   Aww  good night pup and his gator  ;)

LISA   Pretty fancy .  the word will get around  LOL      Good to hear the cats are working it out.  Maybe seeing each other through the window on occasion has helped.

PHYL  Hummer nests are so exquisite

PUFF  Safe trip and have fun  ;D

We are snow-covered, it was beautiful yesterday! The snow plow came through sometime last night, it snowed most of the day. High today and tomorrow is 30, mostly cloudy so not much melt, but Tuesday is 37, Wednesday is 54, Thurs 51, all with sun so it will all be gone quickly!

kb, excellent squirrel deterrent!

Lani, you are a wonderful rescuer, and the ones you rescue are so lucky you picked them... I know you would take them all if you could...I now totally understand how AZ handles the time thing, you never have to change your clock, you just change the time zone AZ is in. It would be like IA changing to MT , MD changing to CT...

Puff, safe travels over the pond today!

T40, thanks for all the fun videos, I had to show some of them to Ed! LOLOL!

Phyl, wonder where Aryana gets her cotton ball nesting material... eggs soon? I think #7 is going to make it at Sauces! Yay, they deserve a success! Love the black eagles, a new nest?

Lisa, love the cat house Jeff got for the feral cats! Misty is officially non-feral, she looks like a happy girl! Bandit is starting to like her, I bet it won't be long before they are curled up together...

tsk, hope you are doing well with your walking and healing! Talked to karen yesterday, she is walking on her own with the walker, making several trips a day. I think she really wants to go home now.

I just became aware that virtuoso instrumentalist David Lindley has passed this month at 78.
There wasn't a string instrument he couldn't play.

Here are 2 popular songs, although he did play with other than Jackson Browne....these are with Jackson:
"For a Dancer" he plays the emotional violin:

and then at Red Rocks he plays the double necked lap steel guitar on "Your bright baby blues"

Oldguy, I just check Ryan Hall's twitter, he's reporting major flooding and I saw a few pics from northern California. I can imagine the flooding when the snow melts too.

Clynn, love your morning's posts. I remember nightly winter trips we would make home from KU basketball games. The open spaces of Kansas covered with snow and the moon shining bright over it all. Such beauty, To me it's God's winter blanket letting nature have a good rest before the awakening of Spring's glory... thanks for posting Naimoj pics of Dale Hollow sweet eaglets. I don't do Facebook anymore, well, rarely am I on it. So it's nice seeing her pics... beautiful snow pics... so happy for {{{Karen}}} Hugs and prayers for her continued progress!  ;D

{{{hugs Tsk}}}  ;)

Kb, pretty good looking squirrel deterrent  ;D. we have a pair here too. I read your comment to Tsk, now I can see the 2nd RT.

Puff, perfect book, have fun and safe travels  :)

Phyl, pretty hummer nest by mom.

BL, love Steve Winwood.

Lisa, Perfect B&B, bless you and Jeff for doing this, and sure it's very much appreciated by all, including by Pepe  ;D ... awww head butt is special acceptance by Misty to Bandit, it's a good sign. Bandit is just playing hard to get.  ;D

REWILDING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Zuko, a three-fingered sloth, arrived due to electrocution and will be released on March 14. He is from the north of Costa Rica! He will be driven to a wildlife ranger's office to be reintroduced into the wild in a familiar habitat.

NEW ARRIVALS:
Ziggy, a three-fingered sloth, was found alone in an area without trees or food and probably got lost. He was dehydrated and hungry, but he is eating well.

Sloth Pre-School Updates:
Geo, 2F Sloth: doing good, eating well, and gaining weight

Coco, 2F Sloth, and her friend Geo, the two-fingered sloth, are doing great.

Landon, 2F Sloth: Landon has been struggling lately but is improving with treatment. At the moment, he is under vet supervision. As you’ve noticed, he has been having bubbles and foam coming out of his mouth due to minor ulcers. Our vet team is investigating what could be causing this. Not to worry, he is still eating, and his response to treatment is favorable.

Pax & Liana, 2F Sloths: are doing well and receiving treatment. They both are under vet supervision due to the same symptoms we are experiencing with Landon. They both are responding well to treatment.

Roo, 2F Sloth: Too is doing well! He is exploring and eating well. We are happy with his progress.

Robin, 3F Sloth: he is doing fine and receiving physical therapy for a better quality of life.

In Loving Memory - We are sad these babies did not make it due to different issues.  :'(
Pele, a three-fingered sloth: has passed away from stomach torsion.
Shanit, a three-fingered sloth: has passed away due to pneumonia.

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.

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE FROM OUR ANIMAL CARE STAFF:
Toucan Rescue Ranch has always been incredibly thoughtful and meticulous about the animals we announce to the world. The animals you see at our center are all rescues - usually from severe circumstances such as traffic accidents, electrocution from power lines, the illegal pet trade (suffering from malnutrition, abuse, and so forth), and other problems such as deforestation. With all this in mind, everyone must understand that each animal in our care is recovering from said incidents.

When you are watching Sloth Preschool, you are watching animals who are in a nursery hospital. All sloths are undergoing treatment and are under 24/7 care. Many orphans we care for may have lung issues and underdeveloped organs; the list is exhaustive. All cases require a veterinarian and a detailed treatment plan based on their condition.

That said, we have always had a rule only to announce animals once we know they are stable. However, the difference between Explore.org and Sloth TV is that you get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at animals, sometimes in intensive care. So, sadly, due to this, we may experience an animal's death - even doing everything in our absolute power to save them. Sometimes nature has another plan in store.

Hello Beakers

Our Thursday snow fall was close to forecast at 4 inches - very wet and heavy, but has been rapidly disappearing.  Sat. snow was not close to forecast - radar showed rainfall for 3 hours with nothing getting to the ground in the afternoon.  Forecast was 3" then 2.2" then 1.1 of snow - finally got some snow from 7pm to 9pm - about 1/2 inch on the cars, but no accumulation on the streets. - By noon today - most everything was snowfree and dry, including the grass and decks...  Temps to slowly get back to the 50s for Wed. and Thurs. with rain on Thurs.

This video is from a company in the Salt Lake City area that has a large You-Tube channel.  They specialize in making and using custom large recovery equipment.  They do a lot of no charge recoveries - this video is about them getting a volunteer team together to help the  mountain residents in San Bernardino County.  A box of tissue may be required... ::)  as residents tell their story...

Thank you Ryan for featuring this video on your channel. I am humbled by the kind comments on my trumpet playing. Wayne was so incredibly sweet and encouraging then and still is now.
I am grateful for the opportunity I had and realize how fortunate I was.
I am so blessed to now teach middle school band, orchestra, and jazz band where my goal is to motivate, inspire, and encourage my students just as many teachers did for me.
The power of music to positively impact  lives is incredible!

They are still in deciding which one of the two nests to brood in, but in the end Makatsa has always laid her eggs in the new Nest she built. We’ll wait and see what happens this season. After this early morning Ritual, they both fly off to hunt. Photos kindly supplied by Naomi “Van Wyk” Corinaldi."

Tsk I was thinking the same about being on your feet too much too soon.   Glad you're seeing your doc this Friday and with a list.   ;)

Hi Bazi  too funny

Tig  hope you both arrived safely and  the burger and beer sounds good

Baz, blizzard survival.  ;D ;D ;D

Tig, enjoy your day.

Oldguy, you're right about needing tissue, what an amazing company and group of men to help clear roads, driveways, and give hope and life to this community. I think it was just a couple of weeks ago or so when you shared the video from there. Felt terrible for them. Thanks for Juan Brown video too. Aly told us, friends near that area say more rain possibly snow too may come. Miri looked cute up high on the tree. Funny to see Maru drinking water from his paw after his bath... beautiful songs from the Carolina Wren.... great job by this high school teacher and jazz band! The two young trumpet players are very good!  Awesome day for the kids to have Wayne Bergeron play with them.

Tsk, I hope you're feeling better  :-*

Phyl, RIP Robert Blake, I remember him in Our Little Gang.

Good night!

Hi Everyone!

We are home now!  Got in at 1:30 this morning and then moved our clocks ahead an hour.  I just paged back a bunch of pages to read and try to catch up on things!  I intend to post a picture!

This has been a busy day with unpacking and laundry, and shopping for groceries.  My Mom is having a health issue - my sister took her to emergency yesterday.   Star is also having a health issue. 

LisaG -  I think that is so wonderful that Misty has come into your house and will hopefully get along with Bandit in time.  ;D

All have a good night and thank you all for not forgetting about me! ;) :)

E4E - You sounds like you have alot on your plate this week with Mom & Star.  Hope all will be OK with both.   :-*

Lani - Love your lil cup of clovers in the good night pic.

Phyl - Cute lil St. Patrick lights in good night pic.  Oh, I am sure the trail cam will catch Monsieur Pepe' going in our out, if he decides to check it out.  Jeff still has the trail cam pointed at it, cause he wants to see if anyone is using it.  So far, no one has gone inside.  Aww, RIP Robert Blake  :(

tsk -Hmmm, that is a good thought about the feet swelling, but yes, bring your list of questions. 

oldguy - Sounds like you made out pretty good with the snow.

I have two appointments today across the bridge, so I am going to be over there for a while. 
Check back in later this evening.   :D

What a difference 12 hrs. makes. Bright sunshine, clear sky, and the moon out our window. They had 17" of snow right here since Sat. a.m.! Can't wait to run up the shore for second breakfast and exploring. (I gather items from the Scandinavian breakfast here, but there is a great place in Silver Bay and Camper will want his French Toast).

HI EVERYONE

OLDGUY  Caught up with Lesley and the Carolina wren - Lots of study to be done on this talkative little bird. :)

PHYL  Remember Robert Blake from Baretta days.

EAGLES  Be sure and let us know how the anniversary trip went when you are caught up.   PICS??    Hope Mom is OK as well as little Star.

LISA   Am sure you also have a list for "across the bidge" activities today.  ;)

Lisa, have a nice trip across the bridge and good news on appointments. Pepe in the new cat house, I don't think so! Is Jeff going to give the cathouse a name?

E4E, you are busy, I hope Mom and star are okay and feeling better already since you are home! They missed you!

Lani, I remember watching The Little Rascals!  Those were the days...

tsk, hope you get all your questions answered at your Dr. appointment today!

oldguy, great video on the San Bernadino Mountain snow and the Bucked Up group of wonderful guys!

Ed took these pictures on his way to Erin's house yesterday, he was crossing the Des Moines River in Johnston.

Clynn, great morning posts... Our Little Gang shows was played many years in Hawaii. My mom enjoyed watching them. Mike and I watched him in Baretta, but my childhood memories of times spent with my mom watching our gang stays with me. In the 50s/60s, Hawaii was always a year behind on the tv schedule. Beautiful munchkin pics and love Ed's photos.

Phyl, glad to see Sauces mom and egg are doing well... busy morning for you. Fun Dog shames....  I pray all is well with Dan and the many affected by the flooding waters.

Lisa, good luck and safe travels with your appointments across the bridge.  :)

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

((TSK)), I hope your swelling is going down. Is getting up from lying down getting any less painful yet? You said standing is the least painful - are you working a puzzle on a standing-height table or counter yet?  Keep up the good recovery! I wonder how long before you start going for rehab.

E4E, glad you and Kris are back home, and getting caught up on things there. I hope your mom and Star are better. Is you mom still at the hospital?

Lani, I missed the NCAA Tournament official team decisions, so I need to look it up. Did Kansas get the overall number 1 seed? Isn't Shannon's house in CA? Are they located in the areas that are getting massive snow or rain or getting any flooding? I hope all is safe with them and their property.

Phyl, I remember R. Blake very well. I permanently fell out of "like" with him after his wife was murdered.

Clynn, those are great throwback pics of the kids. Wow, how they have grown up since then!  :-* Great pics that Ed took - wowie on all those Eagles!!  LOLOL on the nest exchange between HM and HD!!  :D :D :P

Waving to All the Beakers!  I hope all of you getting the nasty weather are staying safe and warm ,and hanging in there till it passes.  :)

Hi beakers!  Long week... Dad came down with Covid even though he had been vaccinated and so I have been taking care of him, using extreme precautions, I tested negative... since then I got really sick and took the test again and I am positive.
:(  I have not been vaccinated due to allergies and have gone this far without contracting it. Anyway... I feel like I have been hit by a truck... Dad is a lot better and we are both on the medications to help with it... 5 day course.  Anyway... I apologize for not checking in and I hope and pray everyone is ok and doing well... the computer screen hurts my eyes so much I haven't really been on here much.  A lot of sleep :)  Destini says hi and she doesn't understand why we can't have cuddles.   :-\

Love you all and have a beautiful day!

baz - Great pics of both sets of twins!  Adorable pic of Punkin and Baby Bro!  Are you going to get any of this wind that we are getting starting after midnight?

kb - That is one big pile of snow!

clynn - Love the pic, and commentary for the HM & HD pic.  I will have to ask Jeff if he has thought about naming the cat house.  :)  Awww, sweet Facebook memories!!

Lani - Thank you, and love the pic of the twin pups!

Phyl - Wow, those pics from CA are terrible. 

tsk - I made a point to stop at Trader Joe's, and get the Red Bag Popcorn!  You all have talked about it alot, so I said, I am gonna get me some.  I also found some White Truffles potato chips, butter waffle cookies and these lil rice crackers for Jeff. 

tig - Hope you are having a good time.

Hi Tsk hope ou're doing better today ;   got a fire lit?  REally enjoy the floating shamrocks

Clynn noce greetings this AM; y'all are cold. Brrrr! most everyone in Beak  are shivering. I remember the photos of Talon/Bella  4 yrs ago. Now looks at those kids  ;)
Bella going to school before long ...Talon growing  up tall.   I'm too chicken and 'lily livered' to call Dan.  :(
Tks ---love t hose BEs Ed snapped near Erin's house .

Tig food sounds delish; SEDs

Kb Oscar winner pooch

Lani I think it's been decades since I've been glued to Oscar nite---; Cute shaggy canine pair wearing the green

Clynnenjoyed the tree Knagaroo and her Joey article; Carol Fowler Marshburn  gets Oscar for best screen play by a human  ;D

bazi nice pic of LDN and her bro relaxing; and the twins as well

Hi Lori    So very sorry  you and your dad have the Covid.  One consolation---you both will 'natural immunity' for a while any way. 

Lisa Trader Joe's and Aldi are owned by the Aldi family  in Germany , etc. I love Aldi's.
   YOu could call the B & B  ' L' hôtel de Guy ' --  loose pronounciation--Lo-tell-der-gee (hard 'g'; not soft 'g' which has a 'j' sound) . Trans lated:  The Hotel of Guy (your last name )

Magpie is here now---means only one 'thing'.  ;D

Puff - Your turn for a trip! Lol!  Enjoy!! ;D

Tsk - I am glad you asked Kb about the 2nd tail in the pic, because I didn't see it either!  Hope you are continuing to heal and wishing a good report for you on Friday and hope they answer your questions.   I do want to post a few pics, but it just always takes us a while to resize & post (time consuming).  It seems to be easy for most folks here to post pics, but we just don't do it often enough. :-[

Lani - Love the SP Albatross vid!  Thank you so much for Sloth update.   Yes! we are adapting to the time change, as when we were in Kaua'i, we were 2 hours earlier than here in CA, then we got home, we immediately had to forward our clocks ahead 1 hour Lol!!

Tig - So happy you & Camper are having a great time! ;D

LisaG - Thank you so much;  my Mom will see a specialist tomorrow morning.   Hope your appointments went well for you today.   Sounds like you had a successful shopping trip to Trader Joes! ;D

Phyl - Thank you so much; I appreciate the well wishes for both my Mom and for my little Star.    Love the live cam pics and updates!  Love the Blue Heron pic  ;D  Amazing to see you post about the flooding in Pajaro, CA!  Pajaro is connected to Watsonville and my family has roots in those towns.  We probably drive through Pajaro at least twice a month (which is only a 25 minute drive from here).  My hubby's grandparents used to live in Pajaro many years ago.  My mother used to attend school in Pajaro!   I hope your brother is doing alright with the weather conditions in his area.

Clynn - Lol - yes Star has shown that she is happy I am back home!  Love the 'early' pics of Talon and Bella - my goodness, how time flies and they have grown so much!  Love the pic of HM & HD  ;D

Kb - Thanks so much for well wishes for Star and my Mom.

Baz - No, the hospital didn't keep my Mom over night as they said they didn't have anymore rooms, so she went home and has an appointment with a specialist in the morning.   Love the sweet picture of your GN and her little brother, and great pics of the twins.  Love the pic of learning to roller skate! ;D

Lori - Oh no, so sorry you & your Dad are sick.  Sending warmest thoughts & prayers for you both to feel better soon.

Oldguy - You are so right - tissues definitely needed - amazing video.

BL - Wow! amazing and love those pics!

Everyone have a good night and stay safe & warm.

Clynn, very dramatic pic of Decorah HM and HD, with talons like that I'm surprised he didn't move. Love the glare at each other. But, I have to say, I don't think HM is a Decorah eagle, she definitely does not take after Decorah mom. When Decorah mom said "move it!", Dad got off the eggs! Grudgingly, but he got off...

Kb, hopeful signs of "life goes on" at Home Depot.

{{{Hugs Tsk}}} I enjoy the Tony's too.... Take care and sleep well  :-*

Oldguy, thank you for Day 2 of snow storm clean up. Amazing heros.

Baz, We're very sorry to see UNC didn't get in. KU got 1st see #3 overall. But most in the sports shows say KU will lose in the Sweet 16. I need to print out the brackets and look to see whose going to be the Cinderella teams. Our family bets on winner of each game. Shannon lives in Mesa, AZ ... Aly has friends in SF.... darling pics of your great nieces and little bro.  ;D

Eagles, I bet Star is happy to have you home... sending prayers for your mom and Star. Take care.

BL, cool van and pics, enjoy!

Phyl - I have yet to go to the Aldi's near us.  I have been to Lidl's, which is sort of like an Aldi's.
Thanks for the RRP blog posts.  Great pics from the cams.  Everything went ok at doc appt. yesterday, thanks for asking.  :)

Just love the photo of your kitties---looking good you two---I think Misty's working her 'magic' on Bandit.  Girls so that. LOL
Ages ago, the dentist said I'm not suppose to eat popcorn. So I haven't in 30 years. Luv the smell though.

Phyl, we made an appointment for a vet visit next week to have Misty checked out, see how old she might be, and what vaccines/blood work she may need.  She does not like to be picked up and held, so we are working with her everyday, just to get her use to that feeling.  We will definitely need to use the towel method that Lani suggested, to either get her in carrier, or just bring her in vets office.  She wants nothing to do with the carrier when we try to put her in it.

Oh my goodness, that baby's face will be red for a while!  Can't stop laughing!  ;D ;D ;D  Good advice, a good laugh and a good sleep! Maybe I'll watch that Tweet before I go to bed tonight!

E4E, that's probably the worst of time changes, losing 2 hours flying and another hour when you hit the ground!

BL, so you got a LOT of snow?

Phyl, awww, the sweet kitty with the Irish hat on... Thanks for Amy's Blog, love reading it! Good pic of Newman, hope he had a good night!  ;D Wouldn't it be great to wake up rich? More great pics, and you caught some action... ;D  Beautiful sunrise on the flyway! And Lucky #7!

LANI   An artist and his art  :o :o :o ;D ;D  Great Irish proverb.  ;D  I don't belly laugh enough!!!

LISA   LOLOL  We usually buy 3 bags at a time as well. ;D ;D ;D   Another good photo of the 2 BFFs  LOL  Does Misty ever indicate that she wants to go outside?     

CLYNN  I remain fascinated with the coverage of that storm.  Just  cant' imagine it.

tsk - I probably could have ate one bag by myself last night, but I want to take my time...LOL
No, Misty has not once tried to go back out.  Bandit was forever trying to get out, and still tries to when he gets a chance. 

clynn - Yes, get the popcorn!  At the moment, they are laying on the couch, but on separate ends.   ;D  Frosty feathers at lots of nest this morning...good pic from MN DNR!  Poor M, its like he is feeding his kiddos and others who follow him for food!

Phyl - Thanks for the pat on back.  :D

Good morning Beakers!
Morning.Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Clynn, great morning posts! Another amazing video of the communities, especially the couple and dog that had a ladder to get to their home. That's pretty high up to get to their home. Breathtaking scenes. I wish that SWFL female intruder would just go away, especially after the last owl attack. M15 is doing an amazing job, protecting and feeding his eaglets.

Tsk, I hope you're feeling a bit stronger and better today.  :-*

Lisa, great pic of the twosome staring at each other.  ;D. I think Misty's presence will give Bandit a boost of energy and brain power. Just read your comment to Tsk, glad to hear Misty is content.  :-*

Phyl, nice update pics, beautiful morning flyaway scene.

Clarification on Aldi and Trader Joe's
Kari  and Theo Albrecht started the business in 1946 when they took over their Mothers store.  In 1960 the brothers could not agree on selling tobacco products, so Theo took over the stores in the northern part of Germany (Aldi Nord) and Kari the southern (Aldi Sud).  They have been independent of each other since 1962 when they changed the name to ALDI  (Albrecht Discount).  Theo bought Trader Joes in 1979, only 2 years after it was founded.  As both businesses expanded outside of Germany, the store names were slightly different for each country and the 2 brothers did not compete against each other except in the US.
After the 2 brothers retired and/or died the businesses were inherited by members of the Albrecht families.  Some of them own shares in both Aldi Nord (Aldi Einkauf GmbH & Co.) and Aldi Sud (ALDI SÜD Dienstleistungs-SE & Co).  Control, financially and legally of the 2 businesses have been separate since 1966.  Some family members have ownership in both businesses, but not all of them. The family members are shareholders as opposed to owners.
The 2 businesses sometimes use the same vendors that supply product for them, but with separate brand names.  Both businesses require that the vendor's info is not revealed.

I'm taking a break after trying to get Ollie's coat on him to take him for a walk...he's resting too now after tons of zoomies and pulling out of his jacket.....
I'll show him!.. ;) ;)

Eventually i believe we will make it out the door....I'm just letting him calm down and behave.
It's been way too long since our last walk.

Was going to post this earlier so now will to revive my endearment for dogs...titled "Dogs are the best"

Post by: kbshcb on March 14, 2023, 12:23:20 PM

well, I gave up eventually, and walked Ollie sans coat.
It's only 27 degrees, he likes to walk the piles of snow along the curb line...and he only has one coat of fur, not two.

I guess he knows it's supposed to be spring like....well, Ollie maybe next week....and when that comes the coat acts as a mud barrier.

Don't know what to make of his sudden distaste for his coat..? but, we made it home just fine.
Although the wind blowing off the snow banks drew tears out of my eyes the whole way.

tsk - yup...

Happy Day, Beakers!

Lani, I saw today that Alabama got the overall #1 seed. I need to print the Tourney bracket. I think Florida-Atlantic is shaping up to be a short-term Cinderella team. Last week I saw a cute news piece (on "60 Minutes," maybe? ) on Sister Jean, at Loyola - she was all the buzz, you recall, at one of the recent past NCAA Tourneys. The video was of her in the men's locker room with the team, huddled for a pre-game prayer. She told the reporter she prays for both teams before a game, but she doesn't pray as hard for the other team. LOLOLOL! She is such a hoot!!! She's 103 years old! and her memoir just recently was published, titled, "Wake Up with Purpose: What I've Learned in My First Hundred Years." I love that title!  Here's a good recent article on her, and her book:
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/103-sister-jean-publishes-memoir-faith-basketball-97252102 Excellent article - she is spectacular!

Tsk, I hope you're a little better each and every day.  You might enjoy that article I just put in my post to Lani just above... about Sister Jean, at Loyola, Chicago. Also, her new memoir might make for a good read while you are recuperating.

Lisa, it sounds like Bandit and Misty are working it out. We are windy here - that nor'easter is from a coastal low that formed off my coast - but nowhere as windy as your area and north. Heard it may go through that very rapid intensification, called explosive cyclogenesis, aka bombogenesis, aka bomb cyclone. I've watched the news and vids of the wind, snow, and coastal flooding so far from it today. I thought you and Jeff may not be crossing that bridge for a couple days!
https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/bombogenesis.html

((Lori)), I hope you and your father are well soon. Take care, and feel better and better.

Waving to All the Beakers!

Great article on Sister Jean's book. Awesome lady,  in or out of 'the habit'.

{{Lori}} get well prayers continue---Maggie/ I  hope Destini remains well.  ;)
Mags had CoVid last year right before Jim and I came down with 'it'.  I was surprized with her advance years, she  survived---just slept for 3 days only drank water. Then poof! Back her 'ol self.

Lani - Thanks  :)  She pulls out all of his toys, and he just looks at her like, I don't play with toys..they stay under the condo.   ::)  Thanks for the Royal update!

oldguy - Thanks for the info on Aldi and Trader Joe's.  Do you know if Lidl's is owned by them too?  That is a grocery store that is similar.

kb - Sound like the coat ordeal was too much for both you and Ollie.  I do hope you all get your walk in. Oops, as I read on, you ditched the coat!  ;D Yikes, on the roof collapse at mall.

tig - Apple maple pecan pie sounds delicious!  Good catch on spying the BE nest.

baz - It is NOT a good hair day here, today.  Jeff is on his way home now from work.  I had heard the same thing about the bombogenesis.   

Phyl - What kind of pie are ya making? 

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: oldguy on March 14, 2023, 04:10:48 PM

Lisa - Lidl is owned by a German  corporation called Swartz Group - They have no connections to Aldi.  The similarity comes from Germany, where most grocery stores are smaller - land is very expensive, so square footage makes a big difference in profits.  They only carry products that sell well.  You will only find 1 or 2 different sizes of containers, opposed to major US grocery stores that carry several sizes of the same product.

Lisa, I am munching on the red bag of popcorn right now, and it is good! I found a few other things while I was in there, apples, oranges, tomatoes...  Honey loves playing with her toys, she gets in her toybox and roots around for the one she wants. Harley is too lazy, but once in a while they chase each other around the house, across the back of the chairs, up and down the stairs. Then it stops and he gets lazy again.

oldguy, you know we all need refreshers on everything...thanks for the Aldi/Trader Joe's stuff. I am sure I will forget it again. I wonder how many times it takes to remember details like that.  I am still being fascinated with the snow videos, OMG! I hate to think of what will happen when it all melts...  Sweet video of the German shepherd and the kittens...

tig, that pie sounds wonderful...I got a cinnamon roll loaf of bread at Trader Joe's, I will try it out later.  Yum!

Phyl, North Dad makes me sad...but what a trooper. Amy seems to thimk there may be a chance it will hatch. I remember the first year I watched the MN DNR nest, they laid their eggs in January (way too early) and both of them brooded the eggs for over 2 months. What kind of pie you making? I made Sydney a rhubarb pie for her birthday a couple of weeks ago.

baz, waving back at ya!

tsk, hope you are doing well...love that popcorn!

Erin sent me some pics of their mini vacation to Mom's in Illinois. They went to Casey, where they have giant things all over town. Here are just a few of them:

OG - I'm all in for the Webb Telescope and try to keep up with all the new developments. One astronomer blew my mind by reminding the people watching that if someone located 56 million light-years away has a telescope pointed at Earth, they're seeing dinosaurs!

Spike Jones always kind of scared me as a kid, but in 1952, we didn't even have a TV set! Talk about dinosaurs... ::)

Will have both Talon and Bella tomorrow instead of today!  33 right now, high 56 with some sun!

Phyl, oh my goodness, our weather today is better than yours! That is a rarity! Another pretty sunrise on the Flyway...and a falcon on the perch. Savannah and Newman 'being naughty on the cliffs'...LOLOL  They're just doing the bird!   Awww, #7...

Ed is Irish, both his parents from Irish heritage, and he doesn't like corned beef and cabbage...I have fixed it a couple of times, I like it and I have no Irish blood at all!

Bella has been wanting my stuffed eagle, but I just couldn't let her take it, I was going to get one for her. Now I don't have to!  Good Irish Friendship Wish!

tsk, was your first outing to Trader Joe's? I got a beer bread mix when I was there yesterday. Good for you, get out there and get on with life!!

Lisa, Happy Birthday to Bandit!

GOOD MORNING

24 heading to 50 with sunny skies  :)

Pi was well represented yesterday  :)

LORI    I'm ready for spring however we have had some mighty big snow storms in April.. ::) ???

LANI  Cozy burgers are perfect for any holiday  ;D ;D   The Irish have a lot of good sayings  :)

OLDGUY   I do remember the Spike Jones show  ;)  Crazy stuff.   Webb telescope will have much more to show us in the years to come.  Amazing

PHYL   That's quite a Saturday AM breakfast  :o

CLYNN    Tomorrow is Grandma and Grandpa day.  ;)  I'm not allowed to drive for 2 weeks and to pretty much lay low.  I'm living Lent this year  LOLOL. Tim drove me to Bible study yesterday and we made a short run to the grocery after that.  Only place I've been.  Doc is Friday.   Wow  thanks for the announcement on CROW  That's a big step and certainly happening sooner than I thought it would.

THANK YOU all so much for Bandit's birthday wishes, pics and posts!

tsk - I am glad you are following docs orders and not driving. I'm living Lent this year   ;D

clynn - Popcorn is good, huh?  Love the pics of the munchkins from Casey, IL  I need to add this to my paces to visit.   Agree with your morning coffee post saying.  I bet CROW is glad to be back home.  In case I forget tomorrow...have a great day with Bella & Talon  :D

Phyl - You always make such yummy food, I was looking forward to hearing what kind of pie you made.  I forgot I had a Marie Callendar's pumpkin pie in the freezer that I could have baked yesterday.  Oh well, will save it for another day.  :D

Lori - I hope you and Dad are feeling better each day.   :D

Lani - I bought an Irish Soda bread last week, and Jeff loved it, so went back yesterday and bought two more.  They were on sale. I bet Mike is looking forward to his Cozy Burgers!

oldguy - Thanks for the info on Lidl.   :)

Good Morning Beakers

Currently 42 and heading for mid 50s this afternoon - mostly cloudy with 10-15 mph winds - not too bad for mid March in Iowa.  Expecting about 1/2 to 1 inch of rain tomorrow.

Had this pop up on my phone this morning...  with the Trader Joe talk this week, thought it might be of interest...

It's 47 here, high of 51  Rain drops keep falling, but I keep smiling! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VyA2f6hGW4.   ;). ;D

Eagles, What's the weather for you today? We're expecting rain for the next few days, it's raining now. In fact we're under flood watch. I pray all is well with your mom.  :)

Tsk, "I'm living Lent this year" LOL! take care  :-*

Clynn, I forgot you put that on your mom's car! LOL!  ;D ... gosh, we have had Beer Bread since Kansas... Enjoy your Talon and Bella day! Looking forward to pics... I'm so happy to see your update on CROW!!! I think about the bear cubs they had too. God Bless them and best wishes! ... great morning posts...

This is me being graceful when things don't go my way https://twitter.com/i/status/1636042232204541953.   8)

Phyl, thanks for Amy's blog.

Oldguy, Amazing  capture by the Webb telescope, I'm in awe, thank you for posting.... Spike Jones is the old vaudeville acts of yesterday, and there's Jim Backus too  ;D
I'm amazed at the Trader Joe story about moldy bread and such. I've never had a problem, but then, I always keep my tortillas in the frig. I pre-slice Trader Joe breads and keep in freezer when needed. Because we never eat it all in one day, so why leave it out.  ???

Lisa, I couldn't resist the pic below for Bandit's birthday. Love his look when sitting in the green sack with Misty on the couch!  ;D ;D ;D

Happy birthday Bandit!

OLDGUY  If Tim buys preservative free bread from Whole Foods I put it in 4 piece zip lock bags and freeze.  Then you pull out what you can eat in 2 days

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Happy Birthday, Bandit! MEYOW!!!  :D

All the yummy food talk is making me sooo  hungry!!!  :o

I'm not Irish - not a bit, that I know of (English on Dad's side and Scottish on Mom's) - but I will wear green and eat a traditional Irish meal for St. Pat's Day. I'm also not Italian, or Mexican, or Spanish, or French or Near- of Far-Eastern, or Chinese, or Japanese, or German, or Russian, or Ethiopian, or... well, you get it, LOL... but I love the foods from those countries and all different cultures.  P.S. Did I mention I like food?  ;D

Right now I'm famished! since I've had nothing to eat since my cereal this morning... so, I'm heading to the kitchen to saute some shrimp in olive oil and garlic, and put it on top of a fresh baby kale and mixed greens salad with crumbled blue cheese, and drizzle it with some of the olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette I made this morning... with a "glash."  ;)

So... Later, Gators!  :)

Lani, I am still cracking up over the baby and the socks!! That child seems headed for anger issues! It made me think of the sequence pictures I took of Bella, she was about that age, but she was trying to het her socks off...and she patiently did it, it took about 3 minutes! Thanks for the Bear report, what a sweet bear, and he knows how to close the door!  I remember Jim Backus from Gilligan's Island, Thurston Howell III! And wasn't he the voice of Mr. Magoo?

oldguy, thanks for the info on Trader Joes, I think any bread like item with no preservatives needs to be kept in the fridge or freezer, that's what I do, because I learned it molds much more quickly than Sara Lee bread that never molds...  ::)  56 here right now and the sun is shining! Temps back downhill through Saturday and then back up again...

tsk, my Mom has a gadget that she uses to put on her socks when no one is there, but if one of us is there she asks if we can put her socks on her feet, so I am guessing it's not that easy...  :o  Our grocery store has one of those stone ovens and they bake their Artisan bread daily, I love their San Francisco Sourdough slathered with butter... I try not to buy it too often...

Lisa, what popcorn? Oh, that red bag that is in the trash... empty. ;D ;D  Did you fix bandit a treat for his birthday?

Baz, what the heck are you then?  You need some food!!   :D :D

Good afternoon Beakers!

I just checked in for the first time today and saw that my post from last night did not go thru - lost it. :( :(  I know this happens to almost everyone here at some time or another.  It is so frustrating to spend over an hour and then not have anything to show for it.  Please bear with me and thank you!
I didn't check in this morning as I had an early doctor appointment.

Oldguy - No, I was not there for the Los Lobos - Labamba concert in Watsonville back in '89.  I would have loved to have been there, but at that time, we were living in Aromas with our young son who was 18 months old.  We were probably at home!  Thanks for the info!!

Clynn - Love the pics Erin sent you of their trip to Casey for the Giant things over town!! What a fun day for all of them!! ;D  Love the BE that Bella is holding!!

Tig - Its always nice to get home after being gone a few days - glad you guys had such fun!!

Tsk - Nice that you were taken to the store for a little 'outing'.  :)   I know you will make a fabulous St. Pat's dinner! ;D

Lori - Liked your PI day gifs!  Hope you & your Dad are all feeling a little better each day.  Yaaay - Spring is around the corner! ;D

Lani - Yes!  I was on here last night and answered Oldguy, but as you noticed in my post at the top, that I somehow lost my post and didn't even realize it until today. :-[    So nice of Shannon to bring Mike some cozy burgers on Friday!   We are having a few dry days now!  Yesterday was a rainy day - about 1/3" registered on our rain gauge.

Phyl - Thanks for Amy's blog; nestflix & news - always good to read!  Yum - good breakfast at your home on Saturday - I like corned beef hash too!

Clynn - Thanks for CROW pics and update!

Baz - Lol!  I too love lots of foods from many cultures!




Happy Birthday Bandit!

Lani - Love the pic of the fawn nosing its mother.  Love the birthday kitty post for Bandit.

Clynn sounds like fun with the munchkins on Thurs. Doing 'The Bird'...seems like there was a song/dance  in the 60's   aka "Chicken Dance", aka the Bird Song, the Birdie Song, the Bird Dance or the Chicken Song ?  Cool speakeasy graphic.
What wonderful news for CROW!  No easy task moving. At last ' back home' for them.
Tks for the photos

Tsk 'living lent this year'  ;D  Also glad you're taking  your recovery slow/easy. 

Lisa today isn't over yet?   BTW Marie Calendar pies are on sale at our Publix story untill Midnight . Then the new weekly ad is out Wednesday AM and so it goes.
I've never had soda bread. What's it like?

Baz Like you I eat most any cultural food .  It's also a matter of taste appeal , etc.. LOL 
your dinner sounds perfect --- ;)

Clynn San Fran sourdough bread hot from a stone oven w/ butter---yum. After my brothers left home and I was a teen, mom made all her breads ...just nothing like it.
Thanks for Berry College Eagles /  Friends of Minnesota Nongame Eagle  photos. B16 looks great.

LISA   Soda bread is really easy to make but it NEVER tastes like the store baked bread.

EAGLES   Sympathize completely with your lost post.  All that time and nothing to show for it   :o :o   Thrilled to see your pics. And you are both decked out Hawaiian style  :D  It is such a beautiful Island

E4E - attached photos have to be less than 1M in size, but no matter the size, you can only post 4.  I usually use jpg file type and about 900 x 600 in pixel size.  That gives enough resolution to be able to enlarge it for better viewing and it will fit on most computer screens.  File size will be from 200k to 400k.

Baz, I agree with you growing up in Hawaii I was surrounded with different nationalities, cultures and food! "I love food!" I love the exotics smells a delicious luau provides. All my senses kick in just thinking about it...  Dinner sounds delicious!

Clynn, I loved Mr Magoo and yes, that was Jim Backus! Your post to Tsk about socks, reminds me that I got something for Mike to help him with his socks when he had hip surgery. I wonder where I put that thing  :-\  he could probably use that now. I'll ask him... you could just see the expression on that toddler's face and knew if he was a big boy, he would be cursing up a storm! LOL!!! Well, he probably was "baby cursing."  ;D

Phyl, sending prayers for Maggie. I hope she's better tomorrow.

Eagles, Sorry you lost your post.  :( ... it's been non-stop raining today and will continue overnight and tomorrow.  Oh, your photos are gorgeous! You and Kris look wonderful! Aloha! I'm waving at you both!! Oh the beautiful mountains and Kauai coasts. I miss my homeland. Looks like you had lovely weather too. I love the hotel cabanas, very nice. I bet the food was delicious.  ;D.

Well, Dear Beakers, I've told my sister and now I'll share with you, my Beaker family. Shannon received some unexpected news today. She had been dealing with severe headaches and breathing problems for awhile. She has always had allergies since childhood, and has shots for them too. Her Ear, Nose and Throat doctor recommended a ct-scan. She has deviated septum, but the scan also revealed she has a calcified benign lesion on her brain. Meningioma it's 2cm, doctor recommends she sees a neurologist immediately for an MRI. Which explains the severe headaches she's been experiencing, hand tremors, memory loss issues, which is why her doctor wanted to do the ct-scan. He will contact someone for Shannon and they will set up an appointment. We've been researching online and listening to videos regarding Meningioma and feeling better, and most importantly so does Shannon. So with God's grace we go forward. March Madness starts tomorrow! Flag is flying! GO KU!

Good night!

I'm easing Maggie back into her normal diet  teaspoonful at a time with her water over ice.

Lani so sorry to hear about Shannon's news from her doctor. How shocking for everyone.  Prayers  and sincere hopes for a successful treatment and recovery

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.  Hoping all is OK with the Decorah eggs. 

Lani - So sorry to hear about ((Shannon's)) problem, and sending prayers her way! 

Phyl - I hope Maggie is feeling better this morning.  Soda Bread is a lil dense, and to me, it taste like raisin bread, but a lil sweeter. I still buy Chiclets whenever I see them, those were my favorite as a kid.  Misty's vet appointment is next Thursday the 23rd at 4:40pm.  I made it late in the afternoon, so Jeff could go with me.

tsk - I had to laugh at your comment about, Soda bread is really easy to make but it NEVER tastes like the store baked bread.  Sometimes, I think nothing I make taste like the store baked kind.   ;D ;D

E4E - Great pics from your trip, and so good to see you and Kris!!

Phyl, aww, Lucky 7, love seeing it every morning... Hopefully all is well at Decorah, the temps yesterday were in the mid 40s, the warmest day of the week. I remember those teeny tiny chicklets! 46 here right now, high 48 today. It got to 56 yesterday! Thanks for all the updates on all the places, that mating picture, I couldn't figure it out until I read that's what it was! Looks like a contorted falcon!

kb, what a sweet kitty!

oldguy, thanks for the Decorah video! The Clark family has so much fun, you can tell they love playing and singing!

Lani, I am so sorry to hear about Shannon, but thankful it's something they can take care of and it's not cancer. I am sure she has been worrying, hopefully she is relieved somewhat... she will be having all of our prayers I am sure... March Madness and Mike and Cozy Burgers! His favorite time of the year!

E4E, loved all of your pictures and am so jealous! The water is so beautiful and clear, the earth is so green, the best way to relax. Good memories... Have you ever tried saving your pictures in Pinterest and posting them from there? That is how Lani and I do it, if you would like to know how you can PM me!

Gotta go get ready, I have both of the Munchkins today!

Friends of Minnesota Nongame Eagle Cam - Marie Ward - I just think this nest is architecturally beautiful!

((( Lani ))) Medicine has amazing tools these days. Prayers for you all.

It is NOT about me, but, your announcement reminds me of my bout of infantile hemangioma which was treated with deep xray and radium for my first 18 months back in the 50s. I'm not sure if it was the condition or the treatment that the doctors worried would cause lack of speech, mobility and hair for me. Regardless, I proved them wrong!

Here is the requested current transformation, per Lisa's request... before and after

Hi EVERYONE

39 heading to 49 with rain this afternoon.  Not shamrocks but actual rain  ;)

PHYL   Hope Maggie is OK tomorrow ???  What was Maggie eating if it wasn't her normal diet and why would you stop it?  Have never seen those tiny size Chicklets .  Crazy falcon pic. :o

LANI   Prayers started for your family, Lani.  No one likes to hear those words but hopefully with further scanning it can be easily removed without consequences.

LISA   At least what you make and photograph looks like it came right out of a magazine  LOLOL  Let's hope by the 23rd  Misty will be more comfortable being "wrangled" into the carrier.  What if you let it sit out like a regular piece of "furniture"?  My SIL did that with their cat.

OLDGUY   Yes Bellamy is becoming quite good right before our eyes  ;)   Hope 5 hours of non incubation was OK?

CLYNN   Will look for pics later - Have fun

TIG  I like the shorter hair  :)

Hi folks...

I was doing a post to KB and I had just hit the 'post' button---lo and behold the electricity went, gone!
We were e/o from just after 7am  and came back on10 minutes ago. 

Kb what a diversity of precip! Glad y'all are keeping indoors and don't have to venture out.  Cute video of kitty with dog.
But, wait! Is that blusher on that cat's cheek bones?!

Clynn best wishes for Decorah nests. I know that photo of GSB nest, Newman & Savannah ---I couldn't figure out what those two were trying to 'do'. Maybe some sort of  wierd version of  Vātsyāyana's Kama Sutra  :o 

Tsk shucks I thought I had heard Shamrock rain was headed  your way.LOL.  Anyway...We're gonna have your rain tonight.   Sending my very best and loads of prayers  to you for tomorrow.  ;)

Lani glad Mike will have Cozy burgers to go with the game. Hope it's a win! 

Tig I love  your new hair color and bangs.

Lani Clynn, Tsk and Lisa many thanks for your concern for Maggie. It seem the old gal had a really  solid  pooh blocking her bowels. And, her dinner and water just came back up.  I learned that regurgatated water is white and frothy  and  food looks like it does right out of the can. Vomit and barf are different.

So I gave her a good dose of Laxatone and gently massaged her belly for a while then let her walk around,  and roll on the floor.  After a while she made a beeline for the litter appliance and ...Pet MD says to wait 12hrs before feeding and to give teaspoons of water. Me being lazy I just poured filtered water over ice in her water dish.  Didn't give her food until 1:30am and that was a teaspoon as per Pet MD. She slept with me and seems okay. Now that electicity is back I';ll warm  up her Catit and mix her BP meds and Cosequin sprinkles in that and go from there.  ;) :)

Well folks, Jim had a late report to work and leaves in 15 mins for a 10:45 arrival.

Book club will be postponed again. One of the member's close friend is having surgery tomorrow on an aortic aneurysm, so she will be busy tending to him for a while.

Lani - fingers crossed this afternoon for a good game.

I'm looking forward to seeing our MN Wild play next Sat. It was a "wild" game last night. Lots of goals and almost had a fight between goalies!

Thanks, oldguy  :)

tig, had sent me a message and suggested the same thing.  :D

We just saw the movie Champions. It is much better than I expected. A bit on the raunchy side, but over all a good message.

Baz, what the heck are you then?  You need some food!!   :D :D

Clynn, LOL! You may have missed it in my post, but I noted I was English on my Dad's side, and Scottish on my Mom's.   ;) :D  Hope you're having a fun day with both T&B, and that you can kick up your feet with an adult beverage after.   :)

E4E, great pics of your vacay! You and Kris look so happy and relaxed.  :)

Tig, your new "do" looks nice!

(((Lani))), prayers for Shannon. Hugs to you all. I'm glad she is finding out what is causing her symptoms, and hope she can see the neuro soon and hopefully get a plan to get it taken care of.  I watched part of your KU game today - congrats on the big win. I heard the comments from Bill Self... sounds like he's recuperating well, and may be back on the sidelines after a couple more days, maybe! Heard for the first time today that his trip to the ER had been for chest tightness, and the procedure he had was to put in two stents in arteries. I hope he is feeling back to normal soon. Did Shannon surprise Mike with the new batch of Cozy Burgers yet? I know he must be enjoying them! I think that  fuzzy being on the side of the 87 fell out of the spy balloon and is looking for a way home.  ;) ;D

OG, good insight on the out-of-focus aspects of the cam video.

Phyl, glad Mags is better.

Lisa, if you like shrimp, it's hard to go wrong with a quick saute in garlic and olive oil or butter. I would share with Jeff any time.  ;)  Bandit got the royal treatment with tuna for his birthday treat!  :)

(((Tsk))), I hope you are feeling a bit better each day, and that your follow-up appt tomorrow goes well, and you get answers to your questions, and maybe a green light for some additional walking or other rehab-type stuff.  Are your church friends bringing in meals for you and Tim each day - I hope?

Take care, and stay safe and warm, Beakers.  :)

Lucky you......totally different story here especially if you are a dog owner.
Yes, so far only accumulation on grass and decks: pure ice/graupel..

Not easy with a dog...

Adult beverage in hand...Good evening Beakers!

The Munchkins were good today, we played a couple of games, Hungry Hungry Hippo and Cat's Eye, both played with marbles. They love marbles! Talon on my laptop and Bella on my Ah-Pad, a couple of puzzles and lunch. Oh, and a trip to WalMart...

oldguy, I also cracked up over the cat with her Spa Day! Can't believe she just layed there so calmly...

Phyl, rum and coke! All the snow melted yesterday, and now it's snowing again.  ::) It's 33 degrees, just barely cold enough to snow, but only supposed to amount to less than an inch. Very windy, no sun today, just rain until the light snow.  Cute St. Patty's wee people!  Hope Maggie is back to herself. Pats...

Lani, boy, that sure does look like a see-through person walking on the side of the road! Does your kitchen smell like Cozy Dogs?  ;D ;D

Lisa, love your reference to Walk On By...wait on the corner... Released in 1961. My folks must have had the record, I would have been only 9...  https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=8QlqQA8CyjE   Good idea from oldguy! Okay, I saw Misty's picture on FB, it's too cute not to post in the Beak!

OLDGUY   LOLOLOL One spoiled cat!

BAZI    " fuzzy thing on 87 fell out of a spy balloon"  LOLOL  All of my friends, church members etc have offered meals or to help out.  I had prepared a lot ahead of time and Tim enjoys take-out so we are doing just fine.  Had Chinese last night and you know who much you get in those little cartons - enough for 2+ meals.    I'm chomping at the bit to drive and go to the grocery store myself  LOLOL

LANI   1 win down and ???  more to go?

CLYNN   Good day with the kids.  Better at entertaining themselves at this age too.  Talon is outgrowing that little boy look  ;) ;)   Awww how sweet the husband with the wedding photo on his sweatshirt  :'(

Oldguy 'kitty spa day' what a riot.  Never in a milion years would Mags lay still for that---massager thingy  would be okay. I want another look at those 'calming treats' for manicure time.  ;)

Clynn R  & C in hand---what I thought.  ;)  Your Munchkins are always good kids.  Lisa ah Misty is a sweetheart. Tks for post Clynn
 that mature couple---what a wonderful wayfor that fella  to remind his wife of who she is to him and who he is to her.  :-*

Lisa Mags seems to be doing 'good'. Time for her dinner. Jim said not to put meringue on the pie.  :o    I know what he wants. 

Tsk  maybe you'll get the 'word' tomorrow that  you can turn the ignition in the four door.   All the best at doc's

Phyl - Hope Maggie is feeling a little better now, and feels better each day - you do take wonderful care of her. {Phyl}        Thanks for all nest cam pics!

LisaG - Hope all goes well at Misty's appt next week.  :)  Did Bandit have a happy birthday yesterday? :)

Kb - Has the ice started melting around there yet?   How is your Ollie man doing? :)

Clynn - I have not tried posting pictures with Pinterest.  Maybe I might contact you about this and I thank you for offering your help. :)   Love the Munchkin pics - sure sounds like a very busy and fun day for all!!  Enjoy your adult beverage tonight!     What a beautiful thing that the man wears an apron with their wedding pic on it.

Tig - I love your haircut!

Hi Oldguy - Thanks for National panda day  :)

Baz - Thank you, yes, we did have a wonderful vacation, but it was good to get back home after a week over there!

Lori - Hope you & your Dad are continuing to feel better {Lori}  Pat on Destini's head! :)

Tsk - Hope all goes well at your doctor appt tomorrow and that you get all your questions answered. :)

Hi Puff - Keep safe and hope you are having fun!

Some of you have asked about how my Mom and Star are doing.  My mom is still dealing with the issue, but she felt good enough to come over today with my sister for a while.  We had a wonderful visit as always and we gave them some gifts from the Kaua'i trip.  :)   She is scheduled to see another specialist on April 6th.

Star has received two shots (one of them was an influenza shot), so hopefully this will help.  At least she is still eating good and still walking around as normal.

Beakers have a good night.

Shep, I thought I was imagining a different female at the GSB nest box with Newman earlier today.  Your post proved me correct!

Newman could have a whole box full of eggs if all these females lay here -- not gonna happen, but a fun picture to think about.

Lani, yes, the Munchkins are growing fast! Talon is giving Bella lots of advice about school, it's so cute to listen. He told her to hold the lunch tray with both hands when she walks to the table, otherwise it will spill and she will have to get back in line again. I asked him 'what about the mess on the floor?'. He said 'well, someone would come to clean it up.' I bet you are already working on the corned beef and cabbage...

E4E, glad to hear that your Mom and Sis visited and that Star is good! Did you bring any of that wonderful coffee back?

Phyl, #7 still okay, I think it's pretty safe now don't you? As far as the shell being so fragile anyway...  Daylight at the Flyway! Fun Irish facts, Ed had auburn hair before it turned gray, he is Catholic and he likes cats the most! Cozy Dogs originated in Springfield, IL. They keep reviving the original building, which is on old Route 66. They say 'just don't call it a corn dog!' Lived there 18 years and stopped once, it was much like a corn dog...  ;D

We've watched him incubate day and night through rain, sleet, snow, and cold weather, taking short breaks only to feed himself or respond to his mate's alarm calls. We've seen him carefully roll the lone egg and shimmy it deep beneath his warm feathers. If one eagle could incubate an egg and raise an eaglet to fledge, Mr. North would have done it. But it just wasn't possible.
Mr. North abandoned the north nest earlier this evening and the egg is now buried in snow. We admire his dedication and skill, and hope that he and DNF are able to reclutch this year. Stretch your wings, Mr. North. You've earned it.

Cozy Dogs= corn dogs, I got it.
One family vacation we took Route 66 ">>>all the way ..." first time I saw Chicago. Second was when we took Mike to Urbana Vet College
for his cancer saurgry  ;)
Ditto---Here's to Tsk getting her keys today.     
DNN lots going on there.   So sad that this y ear's nest didn't work out. I truly hope they have another go this season.  Mr. North and DNF  :-* :-*

Video from DNR nest of last night's ferocious winds...literally blew Mom (Nancy) over completely...did a somersault..
she recovered and faced into the wind..
Above video won't let me copy and paste directly.

Eagles4 - not a happy camper....it's below 10 degrees with wind...We have run below average temps all year now...oh yeah 2 days going forward of 10 days will be average next week....so they say, we shall see.
Haven't walked Ollie since the last time I posted about being unable to put his coat on him...Won't even reach 30 degrees for a few days yet, so I don't anticipate walking him anytime soon.
All exit door outdoor surfaces iced over here this morning for me...had a hard time even opening a screen door.

Happy Irish Day for those of you who celebrate.

Baz, I wonder what craziness will happen on the basketball courts today! Tradition!!  ;D

{{{Lori}}} I hope you and your dad are feeling better. I would love the St Pat's Latte!  ;D

{{{Kb}}} Today is a perfect day to order food to be delivered! Treat yourself and Chris, and maybe get a new toy for Ollie man! You guys need a pick-me-up!  :-* You don't need to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I'm not (though I may somewhere along the line  ??? ). I don't know why, but I thought of this when reading your post...  It's all about Tradition, balancing what each seasons's provide! Balancing the good, through the bad or sad times!!! And you don't have to be Jewish to celebrate Traditions!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRdfX7ut8gw.

Eagles, Looking forward to hugging Shannon and going over the tests with her. She sent us a link last night, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I told her to call her doctor and make sure they've contacted a Neurologist. Weekends are the worse time to wait for answers to questions. She's had two sleepless nights as it is. sending prayers for your mom and I hope Star is better.  :)

Clynn, Big bro Talon is very sweet to prepare his little sis for the big school world. I bet the first time she holds her lunch tray, she'll be holding her breath. Maybe you could practice this when she's with you? What do you think? I'm going to start the corn beef this noon. Interesting about Cozy Dogs. I don't know why, but I don't like them. I tried my first one when Mike took me to the Kansas State fair in early 70's. Maybe its a child acquired taste, though my girls don't like them either. LOL! Mike thinks it's sacrilege not to have a regular hot dog/bun. The first thing he buys when we would go to ball games, are two hot dogs, popcorn & coke! ....  He's looking forward to his Cozys. Anxious to giving Shannon a hug, and make sure I don't cry.  :) ... sad about the struggles for Mr North and nest.

{{{Hugs Tsk}}} I hope all goes well with you appointment to your satisfaction. And I pray the pain has been controllable for you.  :-*

Phyl, interesting Irish facts... thanks for Sauces update and flyaway pic.... GSB, new adventures for Newman.. nothing's ever easy or the same at some of our favorite nests. Such is life.

PHYL    Newman isn't counting on all the eggs going into one basket.  He's spreading the wealth.. ;)

CLYNN   Awww  I love Talon's big brother advise to Bella  :)   Too bad about the North nest.  Sure do wonder what prompts the behaviors.  ???

KB   Yikes  poor Nancy - she needs to turn around which I see by reading , she did. .Don't think I've ever seen that before.

LORI  Wonderful Irish presentation this AM  :)

LANI   Tim is a purist as well when it comes to hot dogs.  ;D   I think having your family together and supporting each other is a good idea esp getting the doc to interpret the lingo and have next appt set up in a reasonable time.  Yes whatever you do - don't ask questions on a Friday/weekend.  It's bad enough with our furry friends.

I passed my 2 week check-up.  All hardware remains in the place he put it  LOL  Next visit 4 weeks.   My abdominal corset/brace I can wear at my own discretion.  Progress my activities as I tolerate.  I have no drugs left from hospitalization and will not renew any.  We didn't discuss driving but my printed info that I got ahead of time said 2 weeks .  We didn't get a close parking space so had a longer walk to office and then the walk back. - that was more walking than I have done in a while.  I have yet to feel I can stand tall and "walk normally" and not like I'm 100 yrs old  LOL  Red Lobster today for late lunch  ;D

tsk - Glad to hear that you got a good report from doc.  You mentioned your feet swelling, what did he think about that? Red Lobster for late lunch sounds yummy!

Have a good night, everyone!

Hi Eagles cute Garfield for St. Paddy's

Kb I clicked on the link just opens their FB page and no sign of video. Just shows the rules for their FB page. Then it states that
ths is a 'private group'. As I'm not a member of fan of Face Book, guess I'll 'have to ' pass. Too bad I was really looking forward to viewing.  :(
Your weather's a bummer!

Lori nice St. Paddy's Day greeting. I have that same kitty on Pinterest. The treats look so tempting. I'll take that SB green latte.
Guessing you're feeling bettter. Hope you dad and Destini are well.

Lisa  'Newman has a Harem' LOL  Gonna be a lot of little Newmans.

{{Lani}} I know waiting to hear from a doc or test results is downright unbearable.  And a good  hug  from her parents will be just what Shannon needs right now.  Some how just having loved ones near helps.   Esp Mom and Dad.    Prayers continue.

Tsk indeed that Newman believes in the  ' no one basket rule'.  Glad you got a good report and are improving.  Gonna take time --little by little your posture should return.  Red Lobstera = good lunch.   Did you mean 'VS' for vascular surgeon?

Tig an early night-glad he music and food were yummie

Adding two extra payer candles on our alter tonight.

95 % Irish here off the Statue of Liberty NJ landing ships on both sides of my lineage and their heritage.
A wee bit of 5% Scottish and Norse crept in. What's one to do before you.  ;) 

And way proud of it.

My last name, sadly those before me edited the 'Mc' due to prejudices circa 1950's.

Directly back to County Cork Ireland.
I have had the very memorable pleasure of attending a very special pub 'where every one knows your name' with 4 generations of said.

If I could sip a pint and smell a Real Jameson with those comforting peeps there I would right now ..   ;D

2 have passed into the shamrocks, and one has picked up on the inherited wanderlust, I shall not gently steer it .. yeah right.  ;D

Kb - You really are in need of some good 'Spring time' weather temps, and I sure hope you get warmth real soon.

Lori - Cute St. Pat' day gifs - you always post such cute stuff!!

Lani - Happy that Shannon is there and she will do better just being with her family!! :-*  As Tsk mentioned (in different words), weekends are not good for asking questions, better to wait and ask first thing Monday!  Hope Shannon can get some good relaxation over the weekend.

Tsk - Sounds like your appt went well today!!  You are a tough girl!!  Yumm - I bet Red Lobster was really good!!   You are a busy person; good for you in preparing part of tomorrow's dinner ahead of time!!  This way, you have more time to visit!

Phyl - I'm sure you cooked up something for Jim tonight?!  Actually, you might have already mentioned it, and I probably missed it!

BL - If I may ask, in reference to the 'Mc' in your name, do you not have the 'Mc' any longer?  If no reply, I understand, as folks try not to give out too much personal info.   Enjoy the evening!  Wow - real Jameson! :o

Tig - How fun that your brother & SIL joined you for an early birthday celebration!!

Clynn - No, I didn't bring home any coffee from Hawaii. :(   I remember seeing the bags of coffee, but it was very expensive, and I thought about going back to it, but my attention got diverted to something else!

LisaG - How did your meal turn out?  I think you were cooking tonight? ;D

Oldguy - Did you have to work today?  If so, hope you are having a nice evening now.

Hi Puff  :)

I didn't cook tonight.  I picked up our dinner from Olive Garden and brought it home.  It was so good - we had Seafood Alfredo!

Good Morning Beakers!  It's CATURDAY!

I'm a little late this morning, Honey was curled up on my shoulder and I couldn't type...  ::) ::) 10 right now, high 28 today.  Brrr... 44 tomorrow with SUN, 56 Monday, Sun.

Phyl, beautiful Oriental, that last picture looks out of whack though! Good cat shames! And there's #7, good to see! Lock and purr...LOLOL. Sometimes one just doesn't want to cook! That person deserves a break now and then. The cat chewing on the Bible, a hoot!

Lani, how wonderful to hear that Mayo will be taking care of Shannon! Relief for all! Great Irish song, that girl is very good!

T40, another obit with the mention of Decorah Eagles... they are rather famous in Iowa...  ;D They will absolutely be mentioned in my obit!

oldguy, loved that video of Buddy and Lil Sis! Both were very entertaining! Working with kittens, we can all relate...Wow, you are almost done with your sister's estate! It's been a good long while, and lots of work!

E4E, and you didn't feel like cooking either, enjoying food someone else cooks is relaxing... and you deserved it!

Lori, you brought delicious goodies today!  Yum! Hope you and Dad are feeling better!

tsk, sounds like you are doing fine, back to normal little by little!

Good doggie, Ollie......it's not his coat that bothers him apparently....just the "game" before hand, but not this time. He knew it was too cold, LOL..

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!  :)


I went to my fav Irish pub yesterday afternoon, and it was nice warm weather here, so I was hoping to enjoy a nice plate of corned beef and cabbage and root veggies in their open air dining space (I'm still not doing restaurant dining indoors).  They have a bang-up big St. Pat's celebration there every year, but I haven't been since before covid, so I was looking forward to it. They also put up a big dining tent next to their open air dining space, and they have live Irish music, and Irish Dance groups, I thought I went early enough to beat the biggest crush of people that go there every year to celebrate, but I was wrong-o! LOL! So... I bellied up to the bar between a couple of stools, had a big shot of Jameson irish Whiskey, full to the very tippy-top of the brim, and threw it back, and ahhh... ERIN GO BRAGH!!! LOL! - yep, that's what I yelled after it all went down,  ;D and then I ordered a pint of Guinness Extra Stout, shared a hearty "Slainte" to the raised glasses of each person next to me at the bar, and I went outside to enjoy my draught on the open air patio.  The crowd, wait, and line for the food, was too much, so I didn't eat there. But everyone was in a happy, celebratory, never-met-a-stranger frame of mind, so it was great fun while I was there.  :D  I did stop at the grocery store bakery for a fresh loaf of Lemon Blueberry Irish Soda Bread, which I enjoyed warrn at home with lots of butter!!  YUM! Had a couple slices of it this morning, toasted with butter and drizzled with honey - mmm, so good with hot coffee.  :)

Lani, I'm so glad Shannon heard from Mayo, and was able to sleep better. Hope y'all had fun in Pine, and I know the Cozy Burgers were a big hit with Mike! I'm watching the Duke game now... yep, you know I'm in a "Go Vols!" frame of mind!  ;D and hpoing my "Beat Duke" button is up to snuff today.  8)  Then I will watch the KU game. Love the upsets this time of year... ha ha... it puts the "Madness" in March Madness!!  ;) :D  I had picked Florida Atlantic as a possible Cinderella team this year, and then aded Fairleigh Dickinson to my list.. and wouldn't ya know... they both had their big 1st round upsets, and will play each other next! May the best Cinderella team win!  ;) :D

Clynn, thanks for bringing Lisa's FB pic of Misty to the Beak... sweet pic. I can't get over how old Talon looks!!  Love his big brotherly advice to Bella! Great pictures from their day there!  :-* :-*

Phyl, glad Maggie is doing better. Hope your appt goes well. I miss Zoey at GSB this year, but Newman is doing his best Springtime PEFA best with his lady visitors... surely, it's a version of "As the Nest Turns" there so far this nesting season!  ;) :D  Zippo is doing pretty well, all in all. The lifespan expectation for her species when healthy in captivity is 35 years, and she turned 35 this past January. She has cataracts, and doesn't see as much, so she sometimes misjudges where she's walking, oops! but she is hanging in there, and having some parrot fun and lots of snuggling and kiss-kisses every day.  ;) :D

Tig, I hear you about the crowds!

BL, I would love to go to Dublin. You got to do it right.  :D  When my then college-aged nephew and a friend, took their bicycles to Ireland and surrounds, years back, I hooked them up with my good native Dubliner friend, who had returned back to his Dublin hometown to live again from the U.S. then, and my Dublin friend put them up in his home and took them around to all the old Dublin sites and pubs and introduced them to some lasses. Oh yeah, a good time!  :D

E4E, I'm glad your mom felt good enough to enjoy a nice visit.

((Tsk)), so glad you had a good follow-up doc appt. Did you drive today? Sounds great that he gave you the reigns on activity level. Are there plans for additional PT maybe after your next follow-up appt?

Waving to All the Beakers! Stay safe and warm, All.  :)

Good Afternoon Beakers

Jeff and I headed out the door a lil before 11am to drive across the bridge to meet Bradley for my birthday lunch.  Kelly was attending her SIL's baby shower, so she didn't get to come.  I had been to this restaurant before, but it had been a while.  It is called Bubba's 33 - https://www.bubbas33.com/food/burgers.  It was really good.  On our way back home we got held up at the bridge, as another one of those cranes were heading out on it's way to Tampa.

Lani - Thanks for the b-day wishes, and for the tunes!  :-*  I was like tsk, had to sing along, and even got up and danced.

T40 - Thanks for the videos!

Hi Lorivery nice birhday greeting for Lisa. Out of  this world blueberry breakfast cake and with a cuppa hot coffee!
How's your Dad and Destini?

Clynn luv the hippy cats in the mod van; glad you like the Oriental kitties; you have Honey on your shoulder and I have Maggie in front to the monitor either way one just can't function---gotta love 'em. Luv the white kitty w/red lipstick smacks all over; cat's birthday LOL

Lisa just today Norai n IA posted  in GSB snaps of "Savana was happily eating a snack this morning and in came Newman." YEp! Lots of lil Newmans and Newmanettes.  So is Jeff taking you out for dinner this evening? Nothing like coffee and cats---every single day I have a cuppa with Maggie in my lap purring.

Tsk sweet 'Happy together."  ::)  ultra sound might have known.  Chilly temps for  y'all today. Chicago doesn't get the nickname 'the Windy City' for nothing

Lani two Mayos near by what a blessing.  Mother-daughter outings so nice.  Cute kittens on tile roof.

Kb awesome work those rescuers do. Ollie  and his coat  ;)

T40 Bradley Carey,  :(       Jim  too shall mention RRP and Deocrah eagles in my obit  ;)
Top funny cats, "Rockstar', mimicking  cat, LOL  Bonus  Harpys are awesome birds/eagles.  thanks for videos

Bazi Johnny Mathis - 'Misty ', I too think it's Misty's song to Bandit. Good choice  ;)
Nice memories for  your nephew on his visit to  Irelalnd;  sounds like you had  a good time at the pub. Yum Lemon Blueberry Irish Soda Bread warmed w/ my fave Irish butter...luv it. Years ago bro  Dan sent me an article on the health benefits  for the brain of unpasturized KerryGold Irish butter. I ran right out and found it a BOGO at Publix---bought several 'sets'
I was thinking Zippo was about that age--I've read that there's about 4.7 human years to one parrot year so Zippos is 164.5 years old.  That makes her the oldest Beaker pet with my Maggie coming in a second  age 21yrs . This April Mags wil be 100 human years on the 7th.  We both live with two little old ladies.  And, love them to no end.

Tig not too jazzed about large crowds  either

Lisa took  a peek at Bubba's menu---gosh ! Those burgers alone--I'd have to have  one bacon/cheese and one mushroom to take w/me.  Glad you got to spend time with Bradley---I bet he's excited about being a 'dad'.  That crane next to that tug boat  :o

T40   That cat was having none of the Raven's butt bites  LOL  Very interesting dynamics.  Those voice overs were good  LOL  That harpy is one masterful eagle.  :o   Clever bear.

KB    Bet that was a brisk walk today too.  Very blustery here.

BAZI   Glad you had a good time brief as it was .  Sometimes just nice to people watch.  Wish we had some of that lemon blueberry soda bread here.  You are a good mama to your senior feathered friend Zippo.   This particular surgeon orders no PT until after 6 weeks should I need it.  So we shall see in another 4 weeks how I am doing.   Spent a week in Ireland schlepping our 1974 no roller suitcases on planes, trains and automobiles  Galway to Dublin.  What an adventure for my friend and I in our early 20's.

LISA  I would have a hard time picking out which burger I would have.  How long was the bridge delay?  Is Kelly feeling good in her early pregnancy?

PHYL   Funny cat pair  LOL

Corned beef dinner done and Tim and Uncle should soon fall asleep in front of TV  LOL  Enough left for a take away for Uncle Jim and a couple sandwiches/meal for us tomorrow.
BAZI  If I lived next door I could have brought you a take away ;D

T40, I have cracked up over and over... the raven trying to steal food! But who just opens a can of cat food and sets it out, those sharp edges could hurt! The cat getting the shot, sounded like a child!

tsk, I got a lot of lyrics wrong back in the old days! 'wrapped up like a douche, you know the runner in the night...'I hope in 6 weeks you don't need any PT!  It would be nice to fall asleep in the comfy chair after someone cooked a good dinner for you!

Lisa, I saw what you had for your birthday lunch on FB, looks mighty GOOD!

baz, sounds like you had a wonderful time last night, good for you! You are a wild woman on St. Patty's Day!

Phyl, cat picture time, how funny!

Lani, did you and Aly have a fun trip to Pine? I wish I could have gone with you!

Tsk, we got to Pine just as the St Patrick's Parade had ended! Dogs were even dressed for the occasion. We should have taken pics! I love Abba!  ;D ... I hope you don't need PT after all this... sounds like the guys enjoyed dinner!  ;D We've got leftovers too.

Baz, A nice St Pat's day for you. LOL!. awww bless Zippo.... I've never seen Lemon Blueberry Irish Soda Bread available anywhere. I'd love it!  A fun time for your nephew. Aly spent some time in Dublin too. She stayed with a friend's family for a couple of weeks and had a great time.... UGH! KU lost!  :'(... I knew Arkansas was going to be tough! Oh well, a few hurt feelings and we'll be back watching tomorrow! GO FDU

T40, RxCKSTxR's videos very funny!

Lisa, it was nice you were able to spend some time with Bradley. Bubba has a great menu, Buffalo pizza sounds good! That crane is something else.

Clynn, great Cat Steven's pic, he's hardly aged. Aly and I had nice visit with antique shops owners. It was all about the weather,  ;D it was a gorgeous day, but it may snow again next week. They've already had a couple feet of snow this year. 

Good night!

Lani - Sounds like you had a nice day in Pine.  It was nice to spend lunch with Bradley, too.  I had some baby clothes to give him that I have bought here lately.

clynn - Everything at Bubba's that we got was good.  Jeff got an American Apple Pie Mule cocktail.  OMG, it really smelled and tasted like Apple pie!  Awww, Cat Stevens with his Cat!

tsk - Jeff had the Mushroom and Swiss burger, and said it was delish.  We were held up at the bridge for 30 minutes, till the cranes went under, then once they let us go, it was still slow going across.  Everyone was looking at the cranes, and taking pics. 

Phyl - We didn't do dinner last night, just lunch for my birthday.  I was still too full to even think about eating anything for supper.  Bradley is getting excited.  :D  Beautiful sunrise pic from Flyway, and great pics from the cams.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU again for the birthday wishes!!!

Just got home from taking Ed to the airport. He has a two day meeting in Charlotte, NC, we will pick him up at the airport Wednesday. So now I have to get busy, I don't get many days with him safely away... Make some room Goodwill!

Phyl, it's still pitch dark here, but the sun is rising on the Flyway! 12 degrees here, high 45 today and sunny! I see a tiny bit of Aryana's egg too, it's such a deep nest! #7 gets rolled, yay!

Lani, take a look at this recipe for Lemon Blueberry Soda Bread Muffins, they look delish!  https://www.norinesnest.com/blueberry-lemon-soda-bread-muffins/

Lisa, love the good morning treat! Apple Pie Mule sounds good, lots of yummy items on that menu! I will tell you, it doesn't end after they are not babies...I have clothes for Bella quite often! For Talon too, don't want him to feel left out. But buying boys clothes just isn't the same fun!

Sue Bruhling - I for one is happy that R23-3 has moved on. I didn't appreciate her treatment to E21 & E22. Now it looks like Mighty M might have a Eagle Crush on the latest Female that some of us questioned, "Is this Harriet?" 😉 she is big and Beautiful ❤ Time will tell... ❤  Southwest Florida Eagles- march 18, 2023

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

19 degrees  feels like 7   Heading to 41 and sunny

CLYNN  A "given" that the man would adopt that kitty  LOL  Or did the kitty adopt him?   LOL  " Make room Goodwill"  Safe trip for Ed.  Does he like to travel?   Saw that the recipe involves " cutting butter into flour" - I hate doing that LOLOL  Thanks for the update on the SWFL nest.  Always sad when one of the regulars is no longer there and we've seen that a lot.  :(

LANI   Saw that KU lost - so did Northwestern!  My alma mater Marquette plays today.  Aly got to see the real Ireland staying with a friend's family.  Sounds like a good day in Pine.  :)

PHYL  I'm also amazed at the size of hummer eggs  :o

LISA   Boy, look at those Krispy Kremes  :o

Phyl, beautiful sunrise... sweet little hummer egg.

Lisa, I bet Bradley love the baby clothes. Exciting time for everyone. ;D .. omg! The Krispy Kremes  :-*

Clynn, My two favorite ingredients, lemon and blueberries! It looks delicious! Enjoy your time down in Ed's dungeon! LOL! M15/intruder has been spending the last few nights away from the nest in another tree within sight of the eaglets. I bet it's to draw the owls away from the nest and towards him. Because they hit him a couple nights ago. But, the eaglets are sleeping by themselves in the tree now. Dad is feeding them well, and both eaglets learning how to de-feather, mantle and feed themselves well.... great migration pics. Lots of birds migrating over our homes.

Tsk, We'll cheer for Marquette! I've got them going to the Elite 8 and then losing to Duke. Now, Duke lost so go Marquette!!! (Baz I bet you're thrilled! LOL!! ) My hiking buddy went to Indiana, so we'll cheer for them.

Have a great Sunday Beakers!

Coco and Geo  :-*

Tsk I used 'Basepaws' for Mike. As he too loved to play fetch.
Mike was Maine Coon. His breed is on the list for those that like tto play 'Fetch" and act
like dogs.
He was a kitten when he started on his own to play the game with me.

KB  Thanks (Royal Canin)   I like the eagle shot as well.

LANI   Speaking of migration, Barb who is still in Florida was at some park the other day with lots of bird watchers. They counted 90+ cedar waxwings in one tree.  Guess they are getting ready to head north.  How cute little Coco and Geo hitching a free ride  :D

PHYL   Thanks for those great links.  I go over it with Tim.  I think she might have some Abyssinian or Siamese or Burmese in her.

Clynn thanks for blueberry lemon soda bread  muffin recipe; we're gonna have a couple days of 80F for a high. Then dip back down. LOL 'Goodwill." St Christopher be with Ed on his trip. SWFL--So glad R23 has moved on. Hope this 'other' female is truely Harriet.   Geese migration at Clear Lake Iowa  :o

Kb Spring will arrive.  Like the  snap of BE flying down the Mighty Mississippi near  Red Wing MN. Been down the Mighty Miss and  inside the arches in St Louis

Lani bacon looks way too tempting;  If I were a sloth fan ---the masked sloths  that look like racoons are the cutiest.  Getting close to puffin season.  :)

Tsk  Maggie was  never much of a game loving kitty---that is initiate play. But if I do esp with 'Da Bird' , she goes nutz.
At least this will give you a clue to her ancestry until you can goe the further step ---testing. Good luck. I'd be so interesed in the results.

Phyl - Liked your night pic!  Love all the cam pics!  I always love seeing anything about those sweet little hummers - such tiny eggs! ;D  Great info & links for Tsk!

Clynn - I had to laugh where you say that you got a lot of lyrics wrong in the old days, because we too, have done the same over here! ;D   Loved the pic of the fellow filling out paperwork for the kitty, and of Cat Stevens!  Safe travels for Ed and I know where to find you in the next couple of days! Lol  ;D   Thanks for posting Sue Bruhling and I too am happy that R23-3 has moved on.   Wow, geese migration!! :o :)

But I don't think that would be an even trade, LOL - it would've been a major win for me!  ;) :D  I had wondered how long it would be before PT after that kind of surgery.

Clynn, LOL! It was mid-afternoon, and I was at the Irish pub for 45 minutes at the most, from arrival curbside, till departure.  ;)   Not so wild. Ha ha. Love that pic of Cat Stevens with his cat - reminds me of "Tea For the Tillerman." I wore that album out!

Lani, ugh! It was hard watching the ending of the Kansas game yesterday... a day for big upsets, for sure!  Is Mike speaking to the world again yet? I wondered if your TV stayed intact.  :o ;)  Yes, I will watch the FDU v. FAU game, starting soon. Which Cinderella will survive that, I wonder.  May as well say, "FDU all the way!" at this point.  :-\ ::) :D  I bet the dogs dressed up for St. Patty's Day were so cute! My town's parade was last Saturday.  That lemon blueberry Irish soda bread I found was a special thing at my grocery store's bakery. I've never seen it before. It was so good - and it's gone! Yum.

TSK, I just turned back to see the end of the Marquette v. Michigan State game. It has been a close game. There are 35 seconds left. Marquette trying, but maybe not quite enough time for them to get the rest of the points they need.  It will be amazing if they can pull out a win.  Oh pooh, Mich St won, and you know that final score doesn't really reflect how close it was, no thanks to all the fouls/free throws at the end to try to stop the other team.  ::)  Oh well... next time!

((Lori)), I hope you and your Dad are feeling better! Have either of you been on meds long enough to test again and see if you're negative yet? Wishing you both feeling well again soon!

Lisa, it sounds like a nice birthday lunch time out was had by all.  :)

Hi Beakers -

Tsk - We just called it a 'gecko';  we were walking along a walkway on the grounds to the pool and we noticed the little cutie that blended in perfectly on the large leaf!

Baz - Oh my gosh!!  I too listened a lot to 'Tea For The Tillerman' album of Cat Stevens!!!  One of my friends bought the album and we spent lots of days playing the LP on the record player!!  Talk about memories . . . . . :)

Kb - First day of Spring tomorrow - I sure hope you get some Spring temps soon!

Clynn - Hope you didn't overdo yourself today! ;) :)

Everyone have a good night  :)

Eagles, What gorgeous weather you had in Kauai, love the view of the ocean. I can feel the breeze from her... cute green Kauai buddy  ;D. ... sending prayers for your mom and Star.

Baz, dagnabit FDU didn't make the 16. Another crazy day of basketball. My bracket has x's plastered all over the page. Mike is doing fine, he had a cozy burger while watching basketball, which he did all day!  ;D ... Aly is the big winner so far, and she rarely watches the game.  ??? .. you and Zippo take care  :)

Good night!

Good Morning Beakers

31 feels like 19   heading to 53 and mostly clear today

BAZI   The trick to preparing the dinner was a crockpot and sitting instead of standing to peel carrots, potatoes and chop cabbage.  LOL

EAGLES  I love looking a pics esp of warm places in winter  LOL    ;D  Nice one of you and Kris .  You look a lot like a high school friend of mine  ;) ;)

LANI   I graduated from Marquette in 1969.  I was a commuter so would stay after school for the games and then take the bus home.  They won the NIT in 1970 and would go on to win the NCAA in 1977.   Of course lost interest as the years went on.  Sure was fun at the time. :)

PHYL  Beautiful flyway this AM   So many live cams to watch.  I'd never get anything done   :o

CLYNN   LOLOL  You have one busy day!!!  Oh my - What a haul out of Ed's man cave  ;D ;D  Good news on Karen.   Took apart my last jigsaw puzzle for the winter and put my nest back in order.  ;) ;)

KB   Awww  Sweet frog pair    At least it's not getting out of the "teens"   :o

Morning eagle buddies!

Phyl - Thanks for the link on the green anole lizard - now we know what it really is! :)   Such a beautiful scene @ Mississippi River Flyway Cam!  Love all the cam pics! :)  Wow, huge water buffalo!

Lani - Yes that is so true about the ocean breeze in hawaii - I would step out onto the balcony and comment on how fresh the air was - paradise  :)

Clynn - Sounds like you are busy as always - and good progress being made! ;) :)  Nice of you to take Kay to her appt.  Yes I am a fan of Cat Stevens and his song 'Morning has broken' is a favorite of mine too - how special that this song was sung at your & Ed's wedding - it is beautiful!

Kb - Love your spring pic this morning!  I do hope your weather turns to Spring real soon!

Tsk - Thank you!  I see you are switching gears from winter (took apart your last jigsaw puzzle) to Spring  :)

All have a beautiful day.

Got in late last night, later that scheduled.  Hit the familiar bed after the loooong flights.  Some had me home sooner (14th-19th).  Y'all talked a lot, filling in for me?  Read only through the Beakroom; this took 6 AM - now to read just Beak.  Lots of Beak to reply to, be back later.  Unpacking and groceries next.  Later!

E4E - More great pics from Hawaii, love seeing pics.

kb - Morning  :)

clynn - Love your "kind words" saying.  You have a busy day ahead.  That is great news about karen!  Great pic of the SWFL kiddos. 

Phyl - Great pics from the cams this morning.  It sure didn't feel like Spring time temps here, either. 

Lani - Aww, the white kitty.

Even at just 32 above, our walks are now down from 35 minutes to 25!...no ice in the roads except along curb line...huge snow piles but it's nice to clip along without looking at one's feet.
Will have to extend them by a few blocks when much warmer..

Hi Puff! Welcome back home  ;D  Looking forward to hearing about your trip!

LisaG - Oh no - you lost a post this morning?! :o :(   It is such a bummer to spend your time in replying  to folks and then have your post disappear. :(    How are Bandit & Misty doing?   My Star seems to be doing well. :)

Kb - Did you & Ollie head out for a walk today?

Lani - Yes, I had a good day spent here at home, cleaning and doing household tasks! ;)  I did make a quick trip to Target, but that was my only errand for the day!   Dinner was simple, we had a multitude of left-overs, so I warmed them, and that's what we ate!  Now I have more room in the fridge and it looks cleaner now! ;D   Hope you and Mike and girls had a nice weekend and a good first day of Spring. :)

Baz - Sweet pic of baby brother!

Tsk - Your wind gusts are about like the ones we have been having.  So far today wasn't that bad, but winds & rain are expected to come in later tonight.

Great minds think alike!  ;D I cleaned out our frig today too. I need to check out our freezer too. Very soothing good night pic, reminds me of the islands.

Hello Everyone and...

Clear skies and 32F. Today 56F with scattered rain. This evening  40F and  rainy .


Clynn  Hope all's well with  your friend Kay;  great news with Karen, keep it up.;John Lennon;  Not sure if Aryana laid two tic taks this time or not. I'll wager #2 tictak is in there somewhere.  Just have to wait for better view. What I want to see this time is a time lapse video of the hatching. ;  Gosh!  You''ve been busy. Ed's gonna  :o LOL   Mille  Grazie for SWFL photos and all. I'd luv to a puzzle with pieces like those in your post yesterday.

KB lovely photo of the pair of frogs; you and Ollieman got a walk in,  ;)

Tsk like your lollipops tthis AM; If I sat and watched cams for any length of time---my bum would be so 'cotton-pick'n " sore ,I fidget and curse and get up and ...

hI Eagles  African water buffalo are nearly taller than a human man and 'bout the size of an compact class car; Years ago,  I almost booked a Nat'l Geographic non-gaming 'Safrai'    :(

Hi Puff  glad you're back, all safe and sound too. Bet you have loads to tell. And, we're all ears. LOL

Shucks Lisa sometimes I do think there are digital goblins in these machines; Are those bite-size waffles in your GM greeting?

Lani that string of rodents look like might be some harvest mice, cute .Such a cute kitten tonight.

Busy day yesterday! Took Kay to the doctor, last visit, her leg looks good! Two trips to the Goodwill! The dead ash tree cut down (found the most wonderful Handyman couple!)  Various tree branches removed and the unintentional brush pile will soon be gone! Then the deck upgrade (composite floor, roof and screening) and the new Little Shed (tear down and remove old shed). Ed will be ready to garden and I will be ready to plant flowers!

Lani, so sorry your team lost, I was rooting for KU, just for you and Mike!  Next year, that's the spirit! Don't you love a clean fridge!  ;D ;D  Love the cute little mice!

baz, Lil' Bro and his plushie, how cute!

E4E, you sound like me, after I clean the fridge I like to open it now and then just to look at it... Such a small accomplishment but it feels good! Same with the big deep freeze in the garage...  ::) ::)

Lisa, latest Grandma purchase?  I have to start putting Easter baskets together for the Munchkins! I do Valentines Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas for the Munchkins...mostly candy.  ;D

Puff, welcome home! Take it easy! We will wait for pictures...but not too long!  ;D

kb, I bet Ollie was glad to get out for a walk!

Phyl, ran across this in FB, thought you might like to take a look!  https://www.bethsheridanart.com/renewaloffer?fbclid=IwAR3HHy7HV1tziVVrpKv__CWBt1L5DIvKPvJTxsZfMbqkvhkpjs2vs9p-Ftc#text-1fc600cd  The Aurora Borealis looks like a green tornado!

Hi Tsk yes indeed, white kitty has plenty to say. LOL  Cute Easter this AM.  Your daytime are close to ours or ours is close to yours 
What started as s  'poopy' day wasn't so bad afterall---after I posted  and did some household stuff I decided I ought to renew my Quicken membership after setting on it for a few moons, no biggy  the app still worked , just 'argued' with me.. Time after time dispite what I did, the web site wouldn't cooperate.  By this time it was in the afternoon  So flustered I called and  nicely told my frustrating story saying I wanted to pay online---the CSR was the nicest and she made sure I was able to renew. But! For all my difficulties Intuit  gave me 40% off my annual subscription so I only paid $21 and change.  ;)

Clynn wow! You were busy!  Like your 'Good Morning' greeting.   Your link takes me to an artist's website selling her artprints. That's okay. Although the image in 'Cloud's snapshot isn't  that clear I'm still able to see the 'funnel'. Thank you for thnking of me.   Awww baby owl so sweet. Thanks for Eagles🦅 In Flight update---did you intend to post a link?

Only 26, going up to 41 with precip off and on today/tonight...snow?...rain?...who knows.

Even though my thermostat is set the same as all winter, with the snow mostly gone off my roof, it's decidedly colder in the house this morning.
Snow on the roof is a great insulator.
However, I'll be fine when it's all gone, LOL

I've been under the weather a titch the last few days... slight cold or allergy symptoms? I see the doctor tomorrow for my regular heart check.
So... I was resting and watching Bball, and hockey, and NASCAR, and...   Sorry Lani, I tried to pull your team thru. I am rooting for Ganzaga and Michigan State.
Ok, back to resting. I have a feeling a surprise dinner is in the works tonite.

CLYNN  Lots going on at your house.  How did you find the handy man couple?  Take before and afters on your porch project/new shed.  What a precious baby owl.  Perfect River Ridge nest shot.

KB  That's one way to get across the ice.  One experienced polar bear ;D

LANI  Sweet greeting for Tig    Lots of detail.

TIG  Stay well enough to enjoy your "surprise" dinner tonight.  :o

clynn - You were a busy lady yesterday! My latest baby buy is a car seat and extra base for Bradley & Kelly. And, I have bought some outfits for the different upcoming holidays.  OMG the newborm owl is adorable!  My ex-inlaws live in River Ridge, LA!  I will have to ask them if they know about this eagles nest.

Phyl - Great pic of the Northern Lights!  We use to have a 2010 version of Quicken, and last year bought the online subscription.  Took me a while to get use to the new version.  Didn't those lil waffles look good!!

Hi Followers of our adventures. . .

I got in late Sunday night and hit the sack after a loooong flight.  Some had me home sooner, but it was 14-20 Mar.  Y'all talked a bit while I did my professional counselor thing.  Lots of  Beak room posts to answer. . .and 3 cups of relaxed tea.

It was BTW a learning conference in Budapest, Hungary with 8 major river cruise companies' execs and ceos.  Brought in 11 ships for touring and discussion.  There is no moving of ships; had to hike the pier to find topics presented in which  we were interested.  Lots of moving of people from point to point doing our job between 8 and 7 each day.  Up front, admittedly lots of food, delicious food, breaks/presentations.  Most notedly would be the dinner presentation at the new Spago Budapest.  Seven years open, in the renovated Matild Palace. A noted Europian restauranteur and Wolfgang Puck owners.  Yes, that Wolfgang.  Guy is a hoot!  Maybe the wine??  Had autographed books; he gave some out.  Also gave info on sending a request.  Attendees? About 750 pp.   But let me stop and reply to the days of posting that you left for me.

Lisa Never tried USA store bought Irish soda bread. Have been Ireland maybe six times and had it there.  Unless you have no qualms, go ahead and try it.  I have to call it the way it is -- horrid.  It in fact should not have caraway seed, raisins, and sugar.  Basic flour baking powder and baking soda.  Not Good.
What I and most Americans make is American Irish Soda Bread.  I make, I got another agent's uncle's recipe.  It gets great compliments.  Usually make 8 loaves   for a spoiled/grateful/super group people.  Some told me I was not forgiven for going away; they would however accept a late offering when I returned.

Another tidbit of info frequently unknown -- Chicago area actually has two factions of Irish, northside Irish and southside Irish.  Never the twain shall meet.  There are two Chicago Irish Day Parades, their bread is also a wee bit different.

Glad to hear Amy again has mentioned the possibility of another clutch of NN.

Aryana has already started on a second egg supply.  Yeah!

Phyl I've also finished part of my Rte. 66.  Chgo does have the starting location (although it had to be adjusted years ago to pave in Lake Shore Drive) in the Loop and has a plaque of recognition.  And now, I've been at the end.  When in CA for the Rose Bowl festivities, I went over to Santa Monica and the S.M. pier.  They also have a large surfboard monument noting the end of Rte. 66 as the "end of the trail".

Flights coming home were a challenge.  You no doubt know that schools have started the spring breaks.  Two encounters - 190 kids from Princeston Univ on the Bud/Mun flight and 90 on the Mun/ORD flight.  Lots of kids, food, instruments, carry-ons, noise - well, you know...at least eventually each group had to take a siesta break.

BTW - I mentioned before somewhere - my heritage is Russian, German, Irish, Italian, and Cherokee.  I claim me to be "American."

tsk knows - My PT hard story is two knee replacements, no not at the same time (2 years apart).  Worst drug reaction ever.  Vicodin.   Weird, dark, scary nightmares when I did fall to sleep.  Drugs did help when needed, they ween you off as soon as they can.  We did home visit therapy Ton and I; that's easier, convenient, and more to my liking.  As to tsks' driving.  I went to garage with therapist and she said because I was OK getting in and out of the hotrod that I was cleared and could drive.  First knee, also signed up for therapy pool time.  Other mention is pain. . .Hard and serious maybe week or 10 days.  Mobility eases fairly soon.

I'll be making corned beef and cabbage in honor of St. Pat tomorrow.  Truth be told I don't do cabbage for me, never did. Ton had cabbage, carrots, potatoes; I have brussel sprouts.  Cabbage is too slimy.

Phyl Same situation here - I don't do FB!  Tried it a few months years ago; decided it wasn't what I wanted.

Two food facts learned while traveling: 1-Greeks do not put lettuce in Greek salad, use usual veggies though with oil/vinegar/spice  2- No caraway seed/raisins/sugar in real Irish Soda Bread.

Lori You mentioned it was Bandit's BD. How old?

Again, many asked for pics. . . Didn't take any really this trip; busy with the professional routine.  But I'll tell you what - I'm even better prepared to help you get your own pics though  :P  I have taken other river cruises:  Amsterdam my first, Viking River (and Viking Ocean) cruises, and maybe 5 Alaska river cruisies.

Next, priority to do a Mississippi River Cruise.   On the bucket list!  Yes, advisors do have a bucket list, too.

Took a book for reading - 2nd "Bob" the cat.  A Gift From Bob.  Didn't finish.  Have to finish that and read the newspapers delivered while gone, too.

Who mentioned "windy city" yesterday?  Clyn Ed? Yes, real sample of that yesterday with 40 and 50 gusts.  But, did you know, it isn't a weather commentary.  It refers to the blusterly talk of the politicians.

New entertainment on landing at O'Hare.  LH has 3 outside mounted cameras.  One on the belly looking down, one at the aft/top looking straight ahead, and the real good view is outside the nose at the bottom, looking forward.  When landing you see the doors (?) holding the nose tire open, the landing gear goes down into position, and the pilot tries to hit the stripe on the runway smack center.  Whew, made it!

E4E Loverly pics of Sheraton Kauai. Lots of "new" now.  Really changed since first there - I'm guessing 1980.  Last there about 4 years ago.  I'm wondering if the road into the property still has the tunnel effect?  I heard a lot of trees were lost during a hurricane a couple years back.  They also had beautiful grounds of a cactus garden-type display.  I see the've switched over to more plants and flowers.  Loved your shot of the geiko.  I have one there of a geiko hanging on the ceiling over our bed.  Guess that didn't change.

Another Irish reply. . .Favorite pub in Ireland?  Would be Durty Nelly's in County Clare at Bunratty Castle, est. 1600's.  Also associated with adjacent dinner show at the castle.  Nice dinner, show, singers, atmosphere.  I'll also never forget the pianist, about 80 years old, singing away as long as he had the brews keep coming.  We also have a local pub outside Chgo called Durty Nelly's.  OK, but not as nice as the real thing.

OOps, missed Lisa's BD.  Sorry it's late. Still taking good wishes?

Found a new tea from Germany - haven't found it in suitcase yet.  Favorite foreign tea is also an Irish product.  Barry's Classic; not flakey more of a pellet-like leaf.
I've been a few times to Ireland.  Local IL/USA sales rep and group gave me a cassette of their songs/singing that I play every year very loudly, and SING ALONG.  He tries to make appearance each year at St. Pal northside restaurant/hall and give us an Irish music fix.  They are a happy, smiling, people.

It's fun, too, to discover who wears what under their kilts.  Not always the same.  :o   :o   :o

Can you tell - my fav other country????  Missed Saturday. . .bummer

Again, sorry no pics.  I'll just have to go back again.   ;D  I'm always willing.  But, we really do work and learn what is new.  Also make new friends and meet new contacts.  Helps when I need something like a welcome basket for E4E/Kris if I can.

Remember next is to experiment/discover/enjoy one of the new Mississippi River cruises. 

Signed autographs of this 1st edition will be given when published.  ;D  Thanks for your patience.  If I missed anything I'm sorry.  Seriously, email or private message me.

P

Good Morning Beakers

This week is forecast to be wet with highs in the 40s/50s with lows mostly in the 30s and above freezing, which is good, considering that the store is getting the first live outdoor plants of the season this week.  Possible light rain 5 out of the next 7 days - but max of 1 inch on Monday.

Jim Foerster a local meteorologist says:

"Happy Spring! Good news and bad news on the forecast for the next 2 weeks. The good news is our slow-motion melt will continue, and at the same time no huge rain (or snow!) storms are on the horizon. The bad news is anyone looking for true Spring weather will have to wait a couple more weeks as pretty much every day will be at or below normal. The glacier in your backyard will slowly recede, and with the flood danger very high this Spring that is probably the best news of all."

I'm taking bets my snowpiles and many others will still be around late April....at this rate.
I'm also taking bets the curblines might be clear by mid-March...

Today's pics....has been above freezing many days but these iced/concrete piles will take a long time to go without heavy rain/sun/or way above average temps for many days...

I have chopped lots away from Ollie man circle and other areas...but, here it is.

Lani, the Mexican poppy desert bloom is so pretty! I've been hoping all the wet weather would bring a super bloom to the desert again... fingers crossed!  I guess I'm pulling for Florida-Atlantic now... but who knows for how long. LOL!  My 1st cousin went to college there on a tennis scholarship. He and I are the same age and grew up playing together.

Clynn, wow, a deck upgrade and new shed! Big projects - and will be so fun to enjoy this summer!  So will the deck upgrade turn into a screened in porch? I guess the new shed will be a "She and He Shed."  ;) :D

E4E, I need to do some fridge cleaning. Maybe you will inspire me to get that done!  :D

Hi Lori!! Zippo sends beak kisses to you and Destini.  :-* Are you and your father starting to feel well yet?

Lisa, LOL on all the baby buys! Lucky them, and fun times for you!  :D

Tsk, have you decided when you may give it a whirl from the steering wheel seat?  I imagine it might still be kind of tough getting in and out of the car. I hope you take it easy and will be feeling more comfortable each day.

Phyl, that hummingbird nest is just the most spectacular thing.  And its contents.

Puff, it sounds like you had a successful trip.

OG, wow, I'm surprised you already have garden plants coming in to put outside. Though I don't really know what the average date of last freeze is there.

Not much happening 'round my place today... ran some errands... hugged and kissed with Zippo.  ;) :D :-*

Later, gators... Have a good evening, All.  :)

Welcoming Spring Beakers!!!  I am absolutely miserable. I am going to see the doc again tomorrow.  They want to check my breathing and stuff.  I might have bronchitis.  Not sure.  Can't breathe, I look like death.  It's now day 10.  This should be over! Not taking any antibiotics due to having covid "virus" so we'll see if they give me some tomorrow since it's been 10 days. much love and big hugs.  Take care Lori. ;)

PUFF   Put it on your calendar for next year.  Can't remember if we did Durty Nellie's in Ireland back in the 70's :-\  Didn't know there was one in Palatine.

BAZI   I've been driving since the day it turned " 2 weeks"  LOL  Yes, it is uncomfortable getting in and out of the car.  I just go slow.  Tomorrow it is breakfast with a friend of mine who lost her husband the day I had surgery.  :'(  He had been on Hospice.  She is one of the "girl group" I often talk about.  She is the oldest and the first to lose a husband  :'(   We've all been together 37 years.

LORI  You are welcoming spring in a grand fashion  ;D  Oh NO Then I read you have been sick for 10 days!!!!  Does not sound good.  Hope doc takes an Xray and so glad you are seeing him tomorrow.  Please keep us posted - Prayers.

LISA   LOLOL   Those two cats are going to be up to no good one of these days - just look at Misty's eyes  LOL

LisaG Next question is personal and sensitive perhaps - with that look in her eyes, have both our "good pals" been spade/neutered?

This was fun story - When I traveled around I got tees for my nieces/nephews.  Sammy who was a Harley fan usually preferred a much sought after authorized Harley Dealer's shirt.  Instead one of the Ireland trips I had a chance to pick up a Durty Nelly's shirt.  He was the talk of the bar when he modeled his shirt on St. Patty's Day.  I didn't know about the local bar being here.  And, I always wondered if there was any connection between the owners.  Never did find out.

Looks like it's a lot harder to drop that goose egg than when our mom eagles have theirs.  I started early this morn - maybe 6A - watching for N2 shots.  Of course, I missed it for some reason.  Good to have someone with the capture of #1 egg.  She looked like she was on an urgent mission when she flew into nest.

I think I still have my Durty Nellie t shirt. https://www.durtynellys.ie/

Yes, surprise dinner with 21 folks... family, friends, book club. And a 3 piece Mexican band of vocalists, 2 guitars and a fiddle that Camper hired.
And Camper gave me a little stuffed black bear with a gift of earrings of book covers with my favorite author's name on them stuck into his ears. He is a thoughtful giver of gifts.

I'll open other presents tomorrow.

Busy all day yesterday, took my car to the dealership at 1:00 to have the computer stuff updated (it has been glitchy). Called them at 6:00 because I had not heard from them, it was till updating, so I had to have them stop the update and bring my car to me. Now I'll have to make another appt. They said it sometimes takes 12 hours, sometimes as little as 5. I had no idea! Still a few things to do before Bella gets here!

Phyl, thanks for the Lucky #7 picture, I am so glad Audacity will have a little one to raise... Flyway looks a bit dreary this morning...

Lisa, I am so glad to hear that Bandit now has a sweetheart! It was all meant to be! It will be such fun for you and Jeff, to have both of them!  Love that picture, it won't be long before they are cuddled...

Lani, 'I wish I was on the beach tonight!'  Sounds so wonderful... The desert looks beautiful with all those Mexican poppies!

tig, a good birthday! Camper is a sweetie, that's for sure!

tsk, looks like there are 9 Durty Nellie's in the US (had to look it up!), but I am sure the original is the best! Glad you are taking it easy on the in/out of the car!

baz, yes, the deck will be screened in, I wanted to be able to let the cats out there! Pet proof screen as well...  ;D

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

40 heading to 54  cloudy

PUFF   Yes, it sure took a long time to drop that first goose egg.  Will be interesting to see if the eagles let them alone.

OLDGUY   I like Andy's delivery better than Ryan  ;) ;)

TIG  WHAT A SURPRISE.  Great evening.  Camper sure is a thoughtful guy and a definite keeper.

LISA   Sounds like Misty is slowly acclimating.  I think of Lulu when we brought her home that fist week in January and the way she is now is like night and day.  Misty's personality is a bit different than Bandit.  Can't wait to hear what you find out tomorrow.

CLYNN  You will love that porch once screened in.

Tig - Your birthday was definitely a fun & special one!! ;D  Camper is so thoughtful and what a sweet teddy bear gift.  :)  Hope you are feeling a little better today.

LisaG - Cute pic of Bandit & Misty - they really do look happy & comfortable with each other! ;D :)   

Puff - What a wonderful trip you had!!  Thank you for describing in much detail your trip - so fun to read!! ;D

Oldguy - Thanks for links!  You will be getting busier now that your store will be getting in new outdoor plants and 'Spring' stuff!

Lori - Cute birthday wishes for Tig yesterday.  Sorry you are not feeling well.  Hope you feel better soon. {{Lori}}

Lani - Beautiful pic of mexican poppies.

Kb - Hopefully the melting will go gradually away and then onward to real Spring-like weather temps.  Your pic (yesterday) speaks for itself - good pic.

Tsk - So sorry about your longtime friend losing her husband.  Nice that you two will have breakfast together.   So nice that Lulu has come such a long way since becoming a part of your household back in early Jan.  ;D

Phyl - I am glad you mentioned the migration to Baz about the hummingbirds journey across the gulf of mexico - I had forgotten and glad for the reminder. :)

All have a nice day  :)

I spoke to doctor office and they recommended testing at home b4 appt. today. Did so, and tested negative. Will prolly check again on Friday to be safe. Phew. Will see what doc says.

Clynn lovely spring bouquet; you were busy yesterday, too bad about having to interupt your computer update for running out of time. I really look forward to checking
on Seven and his mommie. That's what  many in Chat are calling this egglet . Be so cool if the rangers and medical staff would name this one. How nice a sceened in porch. What are you and  Bella  doing this Thursday?
Luv the  Wild Heart Ranch update so sweet all cuddled up.

Oldguy been watching the new weather guy, Andy.  ;) always enjoy the  Quarantine Kids.  Tks. Simon's Cat, LOL

Tsk  cheeful yellow tulips; Re: the Canadian goose nest, this season will  certainly be most interesting how the two will get on. I'm dreading the goslings leaving the nest. Last  y ear was a heart wrencher for me watching the youngest run heather and yon to find the right spot while all the others were leaving---then only to  have that mishap.

Lisahopes are for Misty and a good report from your vet. Please let us know how at all goes. How did Kelly's babyshower turn out? Lots of 'goodies'?

Eagles pretty field of flowers

Tig so glad you tested negative, hope Friday's  test yields same results; John Gary has a wonderful voice and this song reminds me --- my parents had some LPs  by '50 Guitars' this song, while instrumental was on one of them. Thanks for the memory.

Lani  t hanks for the Royal update. Sounds like good news for 'SP'. Luv the photo  of Dad(GLY)  and juvie. Tks for the Twitter link, GLY made sure SP had plenty of chow.
Rangers really do good work wiith them. Luv watching/reading about them

Kb those streets and driveways are really looking good---with all your hard work. Perhaps  the snow will stop soon and warming will be steady. Glad you and Ollie were able to get a walk---although  so cold . Brrr!   Great photo og of Minnehaha Falls by Gary Gustafson . Thanks

Hello Beakers! Enjoyed my beverage and am catching up in the Beak. Kelsey, Bella and I went to pick Ed up at the airport at 12:30. Kelsey nearly went crazy when she saw him coming down the escalator! People were smiling at seeing her joy!  She missed her Dad!  ;D ;D Bella and I had a good day, I re-polished her nails and put some chalk streaks in her hair. No painting today, Barbies, marbles, stickers, a game and Ah-Pad.

Phyl, the Flyway looks deserted...  Hope HD & HM let Mama Goose stay... 

oldguy, loved the video with Maru, Hana and Miri all sitting in line! I have never seen them all so close together at the same time. The Sun! Awful about the explosion at Mamoth Lake. I wonder if it was caused by a gas meter that was buried in snow. https://www.mtiindustries.com/warning-ice-can-block-vents-on-gas-meters-causing-dangerous-build/  I would think this would be a big problem with all that snow...

kb, Minnehaha doesn't even look like a waterfall with all that ice!

Lani, the service guy at Ford said sometimes it takes 4 hours, all the way to 12 hours. He said I was at the same spot as a car that had the update the day before, it only took 5 hours. I wonder if it has to do with how many updates need to be done. This is the first time for me and it's a 2017. Happy to hear that the Albatross parents are feeding better this year!

tsk, I hope your Starlink update is only 30 minutes! I had to look Starlink up, I see it is a Suburu exclusive! You haven't had yours very long have you? But I see it is a recall. Have you had any problems with it?

OLDGUY   Bellamy is really moving up in the world  ;)  How tragic for Mammoth Lakes.  So much hardship for one area.

CLYNN  I got this car the week before Halloween last year.  I just turned 1,000 miles on it as I was having all the sciatica issues and not going anywhere.  I love the car.  They don't make them like Jimmy Stewart any more.  I see where Dick Van Dyke crashed his Lexus into a gate today.  He was treated at the scene - He has to retake drivers test at 97...

Tig - That is a beautiful song - thanks for link!  Hope you are feeling better.

Lani - Glad the royal albatross (SP) is doing well.

Kb - You are such a Trooper in how you keep clearing off the snow and taking Ollie for walks! You do get your exercise in!! ;)   Amazing pic of the Minnehaha Falls!

Oldguy - We had similar weather, but we had almost an inch of rain today!  Wow, Mammoth Lakes explosion  :o ::)

Phyl - You were mentioning last year's canadian goose nest to Tsk - I was glued to the screen watching this beautiful family and it was heart wrenching. :'(   Thanks for cam pics.

Clynn -   How sweet & special for Ed, the welcoming from Kelsey!!  Glad you had a busy & fun day with your little Bella - love the pics!!  What a nice remembrance for Jimmy Stewart & his wife - love the pics!

LisaG - When is the approximate expected due date for Bradley & Kelly's baby?  I'm sure you have mentioned it, but if so, I can't remember.

Lori, hope you feel better soon.

Tsk, this year's albatross chick has both parents, so feedings are regular. Last year's chick's male parent had perished. So only mom L was feeding, which is why rangers did lots of feedings.

Below is post about how chick SP's weight compares to others.

Phyl, Thanks for posting Mother Goose's pic, I hope all goes well with the eggs. And RRP have cleaned up the ground below the tree so all the chicks can make their jump safely. Lovely good night pic.

Oldguy, Thanks for Mammoth update. The residents have to deal with tons of snow and now this explosion. Prayers for those injured... I wonder how many weeks before the snow melts... sad   :(

Clynn, love Bella's hair, very pretty chalk streaks  ;D ... awww Kelsey missed her dad, I bet her excitement filled both your hearts with joy... a very healthy Keebler has an nice round tummy!  ;D ... I loved Jimmy Stewart. I've seen all of his movies and some several times, I enjoyed his visits on Johnny Carson too.

Eagles, sending prayers for your mom.

I was feeling under the weather yesterday, and I could have sworn that I had made a post yesterday evening, but I don't see it.  Oh, well..will chalk it up to not feeling good.

Phyl - Great pics from the cams.  Cute lil squirrels this morning.  No baby shower yet for Kelly.  She attended one for her SIL, and that is why she couldn't come to lunch for my birthday. 

Lani - Awww, I didn't realize that the Royal parent has perished last year and only one parent was feeding chick. Your goodnight pic...beautiful!

E4E - The baby is due August 2nd.

tsk - Oh no, I hope Dick Van Dyke was OK.   

clynn - Awww, LOVED hearing your comment about Kelsey!   Cool chalk streaks in Bella's hair.  LOL, Keebler! Question for ya....how did you know your car computer needed an update?  Light came on?

Small thunderstorm rolled through at 4:30 AM     41 now and staying there all day - scattered showers.  Feels like 35

CLYNN   Love that 3rd pic of Bella.  What fun at the airport picking up Ed.  Wonder if he will notice his "roomy" man cave  LOL

LANI   I remember that one Royal parent had disappeared but didn't realize he had perished.  :(    Also did not know that RRP had cleared out the area under N2B  Great idea.

OLDGUY  The Yorkies and box of toys was funny  ;D   Gifts from the pets   LOLOL

LORI    How did it go at the doctor?  Worried about you.

LISA   Hope you're feeling OK today.  Can't wait for vet report

Phyl, very cloudy on the Flyway this morning, I see a couple of visitors! Thanks for the #7 view... Egg watch at GSB! I had carpet that color in 1974! Do you remember this one? I remember Mom opening the box and was amazed when she pulled out a towel!

Lisa, the display in my car has been acting glitchy. The navigator just stops, sometimes my phone doesn't hook up, stations just change on Sirius, screens I didn't request just pop up, I touch something and it tkes a few seconds to pop up.  Little things like that.

oldguy, those Yorkie pups had a lot of fun with that box! So so for the contents! Love the video of the gifts from pets...so sweet!

kb, I've seen humans do that bear dance!

tsk, I showed Ed the area I cleared out, and apologized for not getting more done  ::)...he didn't say a word! I think he was actually hoping I would work on it...

Morning kb and all   :)

clynn - Thanks for that info!  I wonder if my car might need the same thing, as the navigation system sometimes just has a black screen and wont show the map or radio.  Great pic of the DE eggs!!

tsk - Another pretty tulip greeting!  I am feeling alot better today, then yesterday.  I started the day before with a very bad headache, which then turned into a stuffy nose.  I woke up yesterday with so much facial pain and teeth hurting, I felt like I was punched in the face.  I went to PCP, she said, I had alot of sinus pressure making my eardrums bulge, and that caused one of my permanent tubes to come out on the right side.  I am on some Amoxicillin for 10 days, and will see the ENT on 4/11, or sooner if the ear gets worse.  Will let you all know how it goes at the vets this evening!

Phyl - Thanks  :)  I think Mama had those bath towels.   ;D

Morning eagle buddies!

Tsk - Like your morning bouquet!  Was Lulu bothered at all with the thunder early this morning?

Lani - Thank you;  I think my sis will bring my Mom over tomorrow for a while  :)  I too, didn't realize that one of the Albatross parents was found dead last year.

Oldguy - Those Yorkies were so energetic in getting their box of toys opened - so cute!!

Phyl - My Mom is doing ok, but still dealing with a situation - she will see a new doctor for this on 4/06.   Like your cute morning graphic!  Love all the cam pics.   I remember those '70's towels! ;D

LisaG - Bummer to lose your post last night.  Hope you are feeling a little better this morning.  :)  Thank you for the reminder of when the baby is expected. ;D

Kb - Cute vid of the 'dancing bear'  :)

Clynn - Like the morning gifs and so fun to see all the 'freebies'!!  Love the stunning pic of peregrine falcon in flight  :)   Thanks for link of that special kitty and the hen and her chicks - very cute!!!

Lori - Still thinking of you and wishing you get well soon {{Lori}}

Morning Tig, Puff, Baz  :)

Everyone have a nice day  :)

Clynn your AM greeting today-I have the last one with birds all lined  up  ;)
Yes I remember 'Duz' and the glasses , Breeze detergent/towels( Mom used 'Cheer' and 'Duz" was used long before I arrived)
Amazing photo of peregrine falcon in the form of a B-2 bomber, Jim told me  that aircraft are often modeled from avian aerodynamics---the B2 looks like the P.falcon.
Hurrah for Decorah---two egglets, two eaglets to come.  :-*  Sweet video of hen, chicks and kitty.
   Good luck with your car's PC update.

Lisa  I hope all's well w/ Misty's vet appt later today.

KB  Perfect  James Brown song for the bear dance

LISA  Sounds awful.  But since you have ear tubes you know to go to the PCP

EAGLES  It wasn't a big thunder boomer so I don't think she was bothered.  We were still in bed.  ;)

TIG   YAY  Good doc visit and BP  ;D

Oldguy, love the Yorkies! LOL!!

Clynn, "You apologized to Ed for not getting more done." LOLOLOL!!!  ;D. ... My mother never bought anything but Tide, and I've never used anything else either.... But, funny thing is that I saw a set of the dishes from the Duz box in Pine at Aunty Gail's antique shop.  ;D.  I remembered staring at those dishes and thinking "where have I seen that?"  ;D ... oh my goodness, love the cat, chicks and bemused mother hen. Sweet cat looked bewildered a few moments too. So sweet!  ;D

Kb, I had to laugh when I saw the headline of Dancing Bear. It's a bear with a back that has an itch! And it needs scratching. LOL! Also, it's leaving it's scent... Perfect Song, Love James Brown, always have and always will!  ;D

Tsk, I don't know if RRP removed the rocks/debri below N2B, I'm being hopeful that they did. The gosling jump last year just about did my heart in, as well as many Decorah watchers.

{{{Hugs Lisa}}} OUCH, sorry you're sick! I pray the Amoxicillin will help  :-*...  The Rangers helped Albatross mom by feeding of L because male parent disappeared and they assumed perished. It's a banded albatross and they never saw him again. Like Raptors they do not leave in a middle of a season. They also help with feedings if the food is difficult to find because of changes in the environment.

Phyl, I was thrilled to see Mother Goose laid #2egg. I pray all is well with #1 after the snow... thanks for GSB update... pretty sunrise

Eagles, they couldn't find L's banded male parent. And had been searching for him for weeks and assumed he perished. Because parents never leave during their season with a chick. They are devoted about their feedings and grooming of little one... glad to hear you will be seeing your mother and sis tomorrow. I wish I could see my sis.  :-*

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


Wisdom, the Layson Albatross, was a clue on "Jeopardy" last night, and one of the contestants knew it, and got the right "question/answer." Wisdom is at least 71 years old now!  :-* :-* :-*
Here is an update on her, as of this past December, from the US Fish and Wildlife Service:
https://www.fws.gov/story/2022-12/wisdom-worlds-oldest-known-wild-bird-returns-midway-atoll

Whoever posted it... That is a great photo of the "PEFA Stealth."  :D Such incredible raptors.  :-* Thanks, Bob Anderson, and others, who helped to bring them back, successfully, to the Midwest...  :-*  And to RRP for continuing to nurture that work, and educate.  :-* :-*



(((Lori))), I hope the doc sees you today and you feel better soon!

Phyl, thanks for the nest cam shots.

Tsk, you are on the go!  :D  So sorry about your friend's husband, and I'm sure she appreciates you spending time with her.

Lani, doesn't look like my kind of alligator - looks like it may be a caiman. I wonder what happened to his legs... hope he can recover.

((Lisa)), glad you feel a bit better. Will you have another permanent tube put in, or just wait and see? I have eustachian tube dysfunction, so I can relate to fluid, pressure, and lots of pain in the ear. I had to give up scuba because of it. My doc didn't recommend tubes, and I always used Rx antihistamine and decongestant for flare-ups when I had problems, and a lot of those same strength meds are OTC now, I've noticed. I hope you're all better soon! Hope all goes well with Misty's vet visit!

Clynn, ugh on the long car update! The chalk streaks are pretty! Love the exciting homecoming Kelsey gave her dad!  :-* LOL on Ed not saying anything about your clean-up.  ;) :D

Tig, nice b'day gifts, and fun! Glad you had a good doc visit/numbers.  I am still losing the weight I gained during my birthday week.  ::) ;) :D

Oldguy, thanks for the link to that weather forecaster's new youtube channel.

E4E, I hope your mom will get helpful info from the new doc, and will soon be better.

Take care, Beakers, and ...  :)

BAZI   I knew the answer on Wisdon  too   LOLOL  It happens so seldom  LOL

T40   Great piece on owls and eagles.  the evolutionary part was interesting.  Didn't realize owls were here first.

So after a 2 hour breakfast and a two hour tea session, we whisked Lulu to the vet before they closed to get her nails cut and asked the tech to please swab her ( i tried and she would have nothing to do with it) cheeks and gums with swab kit we received yesterday .  She is a noodle in their hands  :o :o :o  So off it goes tomorrow and soon we will find out if she is really a cat or a dog cunningly disguised  LOL

Here's a new med warning that seems very strange.  Did you hear about the artificial eye drops (name brand EzriCare) that not only cause serious problems, they actually have been determined to contribute to the user's death.  Now that's odd.

Scary. . .I've got dry eyes and used drops forever.  Therma Drops is my product.

Good Evening Beakers

We just returned from the vets office with Misty.  She has a microchip. Apparently,  Animal Services put the chip in but they don't have any record of her being adopted out so she either got out of animal control, or they lost the paperwork. The manager of Animal Services is supposed to call the vet back tomorrow. We had her tested for feline leukemia and other things. She is negative. She had her little nails clipped, as well. Last but not least, she is pregnant as we suspected. She apparently is in her last two weeks, so it could happen tonight or within two weeks from now.

baz - That is exactly what I have, eustachian tube dysfunction in both ears.  The right is worse.  I have appt with ENT on April 11 after I am done antibiotics.

tsk - Hope you had a great breakfast and afternoon tea.   

Phyl - The Easter figurines are adorable.

E4E - Thank you, I am feeling a lil better. 

Lani - The Amoxicllin is helping.

Tsk - The vet says, she looks to be around 1 yr old based on her teeth.  She weighed 9lbs. 
We set up a lil nursery in Bradley’s closet, as he really doesn’t have any clothes on there anymore, and never comes to spend the night now.  The vet said, she will most likely choose her place tho.  I just hope it is not under a bed!

Baz, Viscerion is a cayman, I hope they are able to help it use it's back legs. If not, they will keep him safe there.... awww Wisdom  :-*

Tsk, Glad you were able to enjoy some TLC time with friends. Cat's are a mystery "She is a noodle in their hands" LOL! It will be fun to find out about Lulu!  ;D

Lisa, LOL! when Misty was stretched out in your last photo. I wondered  :o  but, I'm so glad she is in a home where she will be warm and safe when it's time. It's sad to think she could have been out in the cold having babies. Did they have any idea how many? The year of the kittens and grandbaby  ;D ... I wonder about that white cat spent the nights strutting about!  8) .. well, glad to hear she's well. Interesting about the micro chip.

Good night!

Hello  Everyone  and...

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/78/90/b9/7890b9fbe8dfa0eeb71a92f8206d4070.jpg)

Mostly cloudy 78F and humid  today. Evening  60F and thunderstorms.


Lisa *sigh*  Much has been said about Misty, and there's probably little  I can add.   Other than, I don't think this is humorous situation. And,  I'm not surprised  she's pregnant ...I wondered  about this when you first mentioned seeing her in your yard.  The mystery micro chip adds a new layer to her fate and that of her kittens.
 I hope you’re  still  keeping  her after delivery and weaning of the kittens  and not send her back to animal control. If there is an owner, i wonder if  she should she  even go back to them?  As  for the kittens.  Does your vet have a way of keeping them and adopting them out to the clientle?  Better yet,  is there a 'No Kill' shelter that will take them once weaned. Etc.   I think, she feels she's  found a forever home with you, Jeff and Bandit.
Somehow, this brings to mind how we got Maggie 21 years ago.

Anyway {{Lisa}} can't imagine life with tube in ear canals---not unlike me with a metal plate in my neck. I guess.  ::)
 Sure hope you get better, soon.


Hi Baz

Puff I use Blink 'Tears' in the teal colored bottle for my chapped  eyes plus 'Paday' for their wateryness.

T40 interesting video, thanks

Tsk Lulu like a noodle at the vet. LOL

Lani I hope something can be done for Viscerion. If not as you said , he'll have a safe place to live. Awwww those kittens.  :-*

Kb a nice reminder of the week Jim and I spent in Jueanu Alaska. Jim and his copilot were there to pick up the company's president and his family who had taken a cruise with the family of a client. Landed on Sitka Is. refueld and headed to our spot in Jueanu . Finally got there  at 1am and it looked like 8pm the night before ...our rooms had blackout curtains, etc. It was a super nice break and I was fortunate to be invited by the president  as  the guys were there a week .It was like a vacation...ctour cruises and hikes...cruises with orca swimming along side our boat...seals greeting us from bouies...lobster dinners , all the seafood one'd want as they were plentiful and cheap.  :)

Morning Puff  :)

Phyl - We are most certainly keeping Misty after she has her kittens.  We already have friends we have said they want a kitten after they are ready to go.  We will find out something today about her microchip, as the supervisor at Animal Control will be calling the vet.  The vets office also told us, after she has her kittens that we could take pics of them, and post a pic in the office, as they always have customers looking to adopt.  Great cam pics this morning!

kb - I bet those Northern lights were a pretty sight to see!

Lani - We had kind of expected it, but we needed to be sure, so we paid for the ultrasound to be done. Vet said, he could see 6 kitties in there.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS

38  heading to 44  cloudy .

LISA   You are so funny.  Be sure and take pics  ;) ;)  It will be interesting to see what the color of the kittens will be.  Hope Animal Control can help solve the problem - like what if there were original owners?  ??? :-\   So glad you have some of the kittens spoken for already.  That's how we got our little "Squirt" back in the 70's  - from a  co-worker's cat's litter

KB   I have never seen the Northern lights in person.  Lots of people get great pics tho.

PHYL  Cute AM picture  :)  You are having some warm weather today  :o   Nice that you could travel with Jim in those days.  Gorgeous sunrise on ole Miss this AM  :o

Lani, love the kitten cuddle, cats are the best at cuddling! I looked up, cats are pregnant 65 days on average, and first time Moms usually have 2 or 3. I also vote for the white cat...  ::) ::)   Still cold in Payson?

Lisa, how wonderful!  You get to be a Grandma twice this year!  You will be able to find homes for the kittens when the time comes, and you will have such fun with them until then!  Or you can keep them all!  ;D   A relief that she is very healthy! Just read - 6 babies! Can't wait to see them!

tsk, it will be interesting to see the DNA results! So funny, she was a 'noodle' at the vet's! Neither of mine are noodles, they both have 'bad kitty' on their charts.  ::)

baz, wow, a 71 year old Albatross! Yay Wisdom! Who would have ever thought a bird could live that long!

T40, vary interesting article on eagles and owls!

Phyl, a spectacular sunrise this morning on the Flyway! Audacity gives a peek of the egg every morning! Cute Good Morning pic!

tsk, 27 to 54 today with some sun! It was dreary all day yesterday! I think kittens are pretty easy to re-home, who doesn't love a kitten, or a puppy!

tsk - I think that is what we are most worried about, her having another owner.  But, who leaves a cat out all day and night in the winter!  We are hoping she is an escapee from Animal Control, which is not very far from my house and made her way over this way.  Awww, lil "Squirt"  :-*

clynn - WAY TO GO, Talon!!!  I love his freckles, so cute!!!  Yes, a big relief Misty was healthy.  That was another big worry, cause we didn't want anything to happen to Bandit, too.

Just thought I'd let you know I know there is a difference of opinion.
All I know is only once was there a decent splosh of red that I've viewed in person.

theaurorazone.com
Not seeing red. We don't see red in the Aurora Borealis too frequently and the colour tends to be associated with intense solar activity. Reds appear in ...
nps.gov
On occasion the aurora gets a deep red color. This comes from higher altitudes, around 120-180 miles (200-300 km). It is again the oxygen atom that is responsible for this color

adn.com  (Alaska Dispatch New)
What is the rarest aurora color?
On very rare occasions (once every 10 years or so) the aurora can be a deep blood red color from top to bottom. Pink hues may also be seen in the lower area of the aurora. In addition to producing light, the energetic auroral collisions transmit heat.

The most common auroral color, a pale yellowish-green, is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth. Rare, all-red auroras are ...

This is Dilbert, the 6 banded armadillo, from the Cincinatti Zoo...sticking his tongue out before a big yawn.


Furthermore regarding the lights last night:

Unfortunately Chris and I closed all the blinds early last night as Ollie was rather rambunctious and barking at the activity of critters and humans last night so we could continue to watch our tv in peace..
He also barked loudly and repeatedly, once he and I went down to bed. Never has done that before so I ran upstairs to check on Chris and things.
Nothing outside front or back. Course I was looking for humans!
In retrospect, I'm now wondering if he was aware somehow of all the magnetic activity going on?....or the rabbits?....don't know.

Morning everyone!

We had some friends over yesterday afternoon for a bbq (they are retired too) and after they left and I cleaned up, it was around 10, so I went to bed.  Now I am doing a little catching up in the Beak.  Weather was cool with a little sunshine & clouds.  We had a wonderful visit together.  :)

Lani - I don't think I've ever seen a Viscerion - a rescue at the TRR!  Thanks for more explanation of L's banded parent.

Oldguy - That lady got got 'attacked' by a bull at the concert sure ran a long way to escape! Lol!  ;D

Phyl - I know how you feel about whether to watch the goslings fledge.  :-\  Sounds like good weather for you today except for T-storms!  Great cam pics! :)   What a wonderful & memorable week you & Jim had in Juneau, Alaska - thanks for sharing.  :)

Baz - Thank you for well wishes for my mom  :) 

T40 - That link is amazing (Owls & Eagles) - thanks for posting!

Puff - Scary about those eye drops  :o

LisaG - So sorry for the discomfort - hope the Amoxicillin kicks in quickly and that you feel much better soon {LisaG}   Sounds like a good checkup on Misty - wow going to have kittens soon!  You & Jeff are wonderful pet owners.

Tsk - Nice that you are getting out to see your friends and to go out for tea and visits!  Lulu is a gem when in the hands of the vet (to get her nails trimmed)  ;) :)

Kb - Beautiful gorgeous pic this morning!  Like the Armadillo! :)   Wow, sure sounds like something had Ollie's attention last night!

Clynn - Cute morning gifs!  Good for Talon - he looks so happy with such an accomplishment!!

Hi Tig, Lori, BL

I will be picking up my Mom and bringing her over here around 11:am and my sis will pick her up from here later on.
Everyone have a nice day.  :)

Eagles4 - yup, I assume now he was aware of the magnetic lights!..and that indeed what he was barking at.
As you know, they do bark before earthquakes happen.

My Walter dog( my avatar) would bark at chemtrails in the sky, particularly in the early spring but all year long...I asked my then vet if Walter heard them as he barked before even I saw them in the sky. The vet said yes, he thought Walter could hear those chemtrails.

We all should and I do, pay attention to our pups sensitivities....

Lisa Great that Misty's got a good check-up  .Wow! Six kittens .  Everyone is going to be busy  :)
 Would luv to be there to see Bandit's reactions to the kittens and those tiny non stop mews. Definitely post photos here.  Fantastic that you have good homes lined up. And, I was sure your vet would be wonderful about helping you get homes for them.   

 We got our Maggie thru our vet at the time...a family had left a  ventilated sealed box on her hospital door step  with their cat's kittens and a note the night before. Next day when I went back to pay Mike's bill there was a cage at reception with 6 very small kittens mewing like crazy. All but the one sitting in the very back. That little female stared a hole thru me not uttering a sound---Maggie.
Long story short, after introductions and tagging her with my name and two months at vet's  of further growth and spaying .  I brought her home. I decided to name her after my mother's very best friend-Margret.

Tsk hopefully animal control will realize Misty's been rehomed. And is in one of the best homes in the world with Lisa/Jeff. 
I went on several  company trips with Jim---we had a wonderful life in those days---can't begin to describe.
Eager to here the DNA results on your Lulu---just how close my 'guess' might be on her ancestry.
Hope you're doing better in  your recovery.

{{{Lori}}}

Kb very nice memories of Walter. I remember him. :-*  Oh Dilbert  the   Armadillo video, something else. :)

Lisa really enjoyed those bakery goodies this AM

Clynn congrats to Talon on his first board---great photo, he looks so pleased with himself   ;)    ;  awesome Aurora; Yea! you getting some sunshine. :)

Puff it is indeed rare  to have red or other colors in The Aurora. I love them when they 'dance'. All those electrical forces react with one another in constantly shifting combinations. Thus The Aurora dances in the sky.

Hi Eagles it is going to  be BBQ time---here probably in a couple of weeks. Been saving some tenerloin up for that. So glad you can spend time w/your mom. Hope she'll be better soon



I too hope Misty's an escapee from Animal Control---quite agree on 'the other owner' I think they got tired of her cattawolling to get out. You know, 'Okay! Go . Don't come back.'

Enormous 'hole' in the sun's atmosphere will trigger stunning auroras Friday
By Brandon Specktor published about 21 hours ago
An enormous coronal hole wider than 20 Earths has opened in the sun's atmosphere, and NOAA experts predict a moderate geomagnetic storm Friday (March 24) as a result.

Clynn, Congratulations Talon! Super job! ;D white cat is strutting around with huge grin and no responsibilities! Jeff should catch the cat, put a note on his collar, with the birth announcement!  ;D ... yes, it was 29 before we left for our walk at 6:15.  We had 3 inches of rain this week and a quick snow 30 minutes ago. Shannon has an appt at Mayo's with a neurosurgeon this morning. She didn't want us to come with her for this first meeting. What an awesome photo of the Northern Lights.

Lisa, awww 6 babies. I'll love to see the look on Bandit's face when he's introduced to the 6! His quiet bachelor's life is no more!  ;D. ... You know, I can't believe she wasn't spayed when she received the microchip. That usually goes together, at least that's the case here in Arizona. You get the microchip after shots, neutering/spaying and ownership.  ???

LISA  Sounds like you got that right - an escapee..

KB   Even Dilbert is cute in his own way.  ;)

EAGLES  Enjoy the afternoon with Mom. :)

PHYL   Good Maggie story.  Right place, right time.  :)

LANI  Wish I felt like the Minion today - Couple of really dreary days and my battery wears down. ;)

LANI   ((((Shannon))))   That was the way with our Lulu from the shelter.  She was a young Mama as well but the sequence was the same.  Because we changed her name we had to notify the "chip" people, the shelter and the vet.

Lani - I hope all went well with Shannon at her appointment today!

Phyl - Cute Easter figurine.

Update from the vets office:
Long story short.....Animal control wanted Misty back, so she could be adopted out properly.  I went up there, told them I have been feeding and caring for her and just spend $350 last night on vet visit and ultrasound and I didn't think it was fair I should have to pay to adopt.  So, they told me I had to foster to adopt her, when the kittens are born and ready to go to they will go there to be adopted.  Misty will be spayed and then I can have her microchip number to register her and she will legally be ours.

Glad the snow did 't last. Jumping jacks! How long has that been? I use to do  them with a foreward kick  and clap underneath switch leg and repeat.
They were fun.  LOL  Indeed, Bandit's  quite bachelor days are well behind him now.

Tsk good wait time on your auto's PC update.  Then not so rough on you.

Lisa many thanks for the update on your Misty.   A hearty 'good for you' going up there and punching it out.  I can't begin to say how well I think of you both for doing this.  ;)


In the days before microchip when we adopted Mike from Nashville Humane Assoc.  adoption fee and $60 for neutering and wait a week for healing. Mike was 6mos old Maine Coon with 7 other bros and sis's. his family was moving away just like Maggie's.
 Maggie was only 4 mos and not weaned. She was teeny tiny ,still is small.

I think so?...I have several fb pages and then I get those "just for you" pages....I scroll through all.
I'm subscribed to some and not to others..
So when I'm done reading it it goes poof if I'm not subscribed.
There were several comments on that post.
So, now I can't find it as according to fb "I'm all caught up"
Their cam is not on so not sure how someone posted a pic of her.....that's why I'm questioning this.

Upon further reflection I think it was Sampson who disappeared....so Gabby may have left for some time as well....hope she finds a new mate..

Here's what I found on their Twitter account.
They have a live cam clip in a Twitter post  for 3-14-23.
But something was mentioned about 'food wars'.

Kb - Thank you for the reminder that your avatar is your Walter - how sweet, loving & precious.  Yes, I have also heard that our pets (dogs, cats) can feel an earthquake or disaster before it happens - so definitely we should all pay attention to our pets!

Phyl - Love your cute easter gif with basket this morning  :)  Clicked on your link for the Sun's atmosphere and lots of interesting info.! 

Lani - Hope Shannon got some good info & answers for her situation.  I understand she wanted to be alone for this appt.

Tsk - That is great that your car was checked & adjusted/fixed in a reasonable amount of time!

LisaG - I just have to commend you & Jeff for how much you have cared for Misty.  You both did everything right.  Good for you in speaking up for what you have done to care for her.  Bless you & Jeff for being 'transparent' and completely honest.  Big hugs for you both.

Had a nice afternoon with my mom, but she needed to take care of some business, so after looking up information for her on my Laptop and trying to call to get info regarding Medi-cal, I got the local office address and drove her over there.  We got the necessary renewal form and asked a few questions.  The girl was hidden behind a mirrored glass (couldn't hardly see what she looked like).  She was completely business - no personality (almost rude) - just strictly doing her job, but of course I thanked her warmly for her help.  She gave us the Form that my Mom needs to fill out to renew.

Everyone have a good night.

I've mentioned our dearly departed Spot Henry the Dumpster Kitty before.

From the night he was rescued from behind a seafood joint in somewhere FL circa no matter.
He was < 1 yr old & intact via Pip's Vet Tech assessment at the time.

On a chilly rainy night the poor bedraggled fella jumped up onto our F-150's bench seat, well I guess that's his Spot we both said at the same time.

The rest of his full name was dictated by his pickup ride back to His Home.

All the things needed to be done for his future well being were done then.     

He was the most cat we've ever been owned by.  :)
Bar None.
19 solid years swinging from the chandeliers this cat of extraordinary character did reside with us, and by reside with us he roamed with us.

I believe he has one more paw in one more state than I do.   :o

His overall spirit / demeanor / personalty are just legendary to those that have ever hiked or ever camped & purred with him.

His SHDK antics and shenanigans are just beyond my story telling abilities. 

Sometimes they just find you and sometimes you just find them    :-*

Lisa, Tsk, Eagles, Phyl, and All, Shannon's lesion is dead, and the neurosurgeon felt it's not necessary to remove. They will do an MRI next week and keep a watchful eye on it.  ;D
Thank you for your prayers and concern  :-*

{{{Hugs Tsk}}} glad your car's computer didn't take too long to update.

Lisa, Glad you and animal control came to an agreement. But, honestly, she was on the streets and they didn't do a thing to help. How strange.  ???  In the end, she will be yours. Bless you and Jeff.  :-*

Kb, thanks for sharing news from NEFL about Gabrielle. I stopped checking on it since Samson left, from The Hamlet family.

Eagles, Thank goodness you were able to help your mom no need for rudeness from the gal, Anymore, that seems to be the norm.

BL, awww Spot Henry the Dumpster Kitty.  :)

Oldguy, spent some time watch Ryan Hall Live tonight. Prayers for all in harm's way from the Mississippi tornado  :'(

Good night!

  Today 71F and mostly sunny. Tonight  45F and clear skies.

Had some tornado weather come thru our area last evening. It was vicious and rainy !   Even after midnight the skies were rolling, growling and crackling.


Lani this is most wonderful news! I'm so happy for Shannon and you, Mike and Aly.  Yes. Just leave the thing alone and watch.  ;) Still in our prayers.
Easy to agree Re: animal control and letting  loose  Misty  to wonder about the streets---it is quite strange.

Eagles Nice gif last night. Reminded me of night before, Thursday, we were late pulling in the peanuts--oh about 12Am and heard a pair of hoot owls. Been a long time  since hearing them.    So glad your mom got the needed papers to complete and get renewed on Medi-Cal . Always give her hugs. One day you'll miss that. I do.

BL Just went back in posts ... many thanks for the NOAA map of  Tenn.  We're gonna have to check the shingles. Otherwise, us and ailerons are good.  Yes. I do remember your recollections of your feline buddy,  Spot Henry the Dumpster Kitty.  RIP.     :-*

BL, love your story of Spot Henry the Dumpster Kitty, sounds like he was your soul cat...

Lani, good news for Shannon! pic

E4E, I'll be visiting my Mom next month, I am sure she will have some things I can help her with! The three of us daughters try to make sure one of us visits every few months. I usually go in April for a week, Kelsey and I go in July for a week, then I go maybe in October and always for Christmas! Mom will be 89 this year and is doing very well. She has 2 sisters, all of them widows, that live close by and they also watch over each other and do things together. Honestly, something very inexpensive has given Mom so much joy, it is attached to her front picture window, just out of reach of the squirrels:

Lisa, I can't believe the rescue wanted Misty back! Good for you standing up to them! I don't think they have grounds to have the kittens either, what are they going to do to you if you give them to good homes? Sounds like they are just worried about the $$ they won't get if you home the kittens. They didn't even have her long enough to have her fixed, that's obvious! Could they tell you when she was chipped? I just wonder if they looked for her or even noticed when she escaped...I know you don't know , it just makes me wonder...

Puff, soul pets never leave one's memory...I can still have tears for my Bogey, who has been gone nearly 23 years...

Phyl, thanks for the egg peek again! Found another look that is suspicious!  55 high for us today! 35 right now. I see the first 60 for Thursday...Spring is coming!

Clynn luv your Caturday sequel to 'nothing good comes of this look'. Thanks for NEFL update/photos. Wonderful that you, sisters and aunts keep eye out for each other and on your mom.  :-*

You know...I have suspicions about that animal shelter.   Last night before I went to sleep, I couldn't stop wrestling with the whole bout Lisa had with them yesterday. And, if I were Lisa and Jeff I would'nt deal with them...not even take the weaned kittens there or leave Misty there to get spayed---I don't think they'll give Misty back. I think I'd keep her and work with their vet on these issues. Why couldn't Lisa's vet spay Misty and put a chip ? Really, why not?     And, vet said they'd put up kitten pics too.  I just have this 'gut feeling'...I believe every arugment/question  Lani and you have put out there is valid.  Because,  I have    them as well. 

Hi Puff are yiou caught up on the newspapers and all? I know lots to do after a long trip.  ;)

Kb wondering what  amazing wildlife photo you have for us today. Hope you and Ollieman get a nice walk today.

Lani been checking on Puffin season... my current issue of the Smithsonian magazine has a cover story on baby puffins that I'm eager to  read, if I ever sit in any other chair in this house. LOL

Good Morning Puff

kb - Thanks for the NEFL update.  I didn't realize Gabby left, too! 

tsk, clynn and all - Animal Control won't tell me when they adopted her out, or if she was an escapee, as they say that is privacy.  All they say is she is still in their system and needs to be adopted out properly.  My foster to adopt paper that I signed with them, states she was born on 6/13/22, not altered, weight 4.96lbs, and gives her microchip number.  I guess I have to use my imagination as to why she is not with them any longer for them to want her back, and to be adopted out properly.  I have only two answers for that...she escaped from there or she was adopted and that person lives near me and hasn't cared for her?

Phyl - Love the bunny night light.  Great cam pics!

E4E - Thank you  :-*

BL - Awww, Spot Henry the Dumpster Kitty!

Lani - I am so glad to hear that Shannon's lesion is dead, and they will keep eye on it.

We stopped by El Burrito Mercado for supper because Camper noticed they advertised a mariachi band. We think it may have been the guys he would have hired for my party... but he had been told they couldn't come because a member broke their arm. The accordion player had a brace on his left forearm. A guitarron and a small guitar. And they sang happy birthday to me. 👏😁

I do think your second thought about her being adopted out previously and let go is also a real possibility.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: clynndunn on March 25, 2023, 08:53:13 AM

Lisa, you forgot one other reason they want Misty's kittens, $$$. What? Privacy issues for cats? You didn't ask for the name of the person who surrendered her! And I agree with Lani, the spay should have been done when they chipped her. This may not be her first litter, most first litters are 2 or 3 kittens. If it were me I wouldn't contact them again, just tell them the kittens didn't survive if they call you about them.

"The average litter size for cats is 4 to 6 kittens; however, adolescents, seniors, and first-timers typically have smaller-than-average litters. First-time moms usually only have 2 or 3 kittens."

"The optimal age to spay/neuter a cat is before it reaches 5 months of age. For owned cats, the optimal age would be 4 to 5 months; for cats in shelters, the optimal age could be as early as 8 weeks. Current scientific evidence shows no medical or behavioral reasons to delay spaying/neutering of cats past 5 months of age, and there are population and health benefits to spaying/neutering cats before they reach 5 months. Sterilization surgeries are easier, faster, and safer when performed on cats younger than 5 months, and implementation of this practice is simple."

Well, that's more than you probably wanted to know...sorry! I just don't understand them wanting her back for any reason besides the $$$. They have to know she is in a good home now and should be done with it. It would feel different if they simply asked you if you wanted help finding homes for the kittens when the time came.

kb, fantastic video of tiny dog  and big man gymnastics!

Phyl, the hair dryer shame cracked me up...I could imagine the smell ...

tsk, did you say you are missing the snow? LOLOL!

This was posted on an e-mail newsletter I subscribe to and I thought it was worth sharing...

(https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a80943c319fbaacd8d72853653fb038b-lq)

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one-ton truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward, he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me.

I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. ‘Oh, that's my trouble tree,' he replied 'I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children.

So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them.

Then in the morning, I pick them up again.' 'Funny thing is,' he smiled,' when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.

THIS ONE IS WORTH SENDING ON. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. We all need a Tree!

Yes, Phyl I got caught up on the papers, that is except for today's which is still out on the drive.

Two things planned for today - unpack the dang suitcase and make the corned beef and cabbage.  Well, maybe tomorrow for the corned beef.  I might just go back and snuggle under the covers.  Caught a bug on the conx flight back; I was afraid and tried to take care.  Bozo next to me spent entire 8 hour flight dealing with a post nasal drip - sniffed and snorted all the way back.  Dug to the bottom of my  purse for the face mask I carry for hospital, etc.  Guess something got through.

One more cup of tea and I'll decide.  I hope you're all OK - I tried not to sneeze/cough on anyone.

Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All


Puff, Tsk, Phyl, Clynn, Lisa and All, thank you for your comments for our Shannon. We're very relieved, no more sleepless nights for her.  :-*

Lisa, I believe there's more to this animal control story regarding Misty. There is no way she should have received the microchip without being spayed. I agree with Clynn, there is someone in that neighborhood that is responsible for her and didn't follow through on their obligations. Maybe another foster family? It's all about the $$$ for Animal Control. They see more $$$ for the kittens.

Baz, March Madness has outdone itself this year!!! What great ball games!! Mike thinks the " Portal Transferring system for young players" has been a great opportunity for 2nd tier players to move into starting positions at the smaller colleges! And it's creating an opportunity for smaller colleges to be more competitive.

Leaving for a meeting in Pine, on this cold morning. It was 25 when we left for our walk at 6:15. High today will be 49, but it'll feel like 41  ???

The devastation in Mississippi is heartbreaking, my prayers are with all.

Happy Caturday Beakers

According to the local TV station, we got 4 inches of snow overnight - it started with light rain about midnight and was large snow flakes starting a little after 1am - had about 1 inch by 2am when I went to bed.  High today is expected to reach 50.  What snow I shoveled, was very wet - but the sun was warm and did not even need a sweater.  Everything will likely be melted by sundown.

Lani and clynn - I agree with you both.  I do believe they want the kittens for the adoption $$$.  I won't have to pay to adopt Misty when all of this is done and over with, and they also said they would spay her, as that comes along with the foster to adopt program.  I was kinda surprised that she had a microchip and was not spayed, cause I thought that is what they did before you adopted. 

tsk - I did not realize cats could breed that young either.  The vet said, as young as 4 months old!  Hope brother in Milwaukee is staying warm!

kb - That is a great view of Minnehaha Falls. 

((Puff & tig)) - Hope you feel better soon!

clynn - Love the Trouble tree story! Yep, privacy issues, but I think it is for the people who adopt the animals and probably to protect them in case they screw up, is what I am thinking.  ???  I thank you, and everyone else in here for the info you all are giving me.  I appreciate it all.  :-*

Lani - Have a great time in Pine.

oldguy -  ;D ;D We brought a new little guy home  Thanks for the video.

Be back later....making some homemade meatballs with sauce, Au gratin potatoes, and asparagus for dinner.

Phyl, Audi and egglet looks good.. thanks for Caturday shames.

Clynn, I wonder if the juvie on NEFL nest is one of Romeo and Juliet's  :) .. love the osprey, it's making its migration home... perfect window bird feeder, my cats would go nuts... Tonto Creek is in Payson. Tragic story, a very beloved couple and they are searching for their dog. That creek is suppose to be closed during rains, with barrier and patrol. Just over a year ago, three children drowned as father went through the creek during a flood. The whole series of events that happened following that was heartbreaking for all. That creek needs a bridge now!! I can't believe that creek has taken two more lives.  :'(  ... I understand your frustration with the Animal Control situation for Lisa and Jeff. Something is not right there. Misty is warm, safe and being loved, and Bandit is about to have an life changing experience for a short while.  ;D. ... stunning aurora borealis... Love the story of the Trouble Tree. The home reminds me of The Waltons. Love that show.

Sunny and 77F today. With this evening  49F clear skies.


Lani all the best with the conference in Pine

Tig/Lori/Puff how are you gals doing this AM? Sure hope you ladies get well soon. Hugs

Lisa   How’s Misty doing lately?
I ’ve been wondering ,if Animal Control shelter gave you copies of the "Foster to Adopt' forms  you signed?
I ask because you mentioned that the forms  had Misty’s chip #. I’ve done a bit of searching and
believe there’s a way you can get the chip info with out a scanner  or animal control.  If you’re curious.
  Taking her back there for spaying---If it were me in your situation I’d visit her every day she’s there  ---this would tell them  that you care deeply  having concern for her and that you want her /will keep her safe.  I’ve personally found that visiting my cat s while confined to the surgery helps them to feel less depressed or abandoned.
 Misty needs to know that you are still there for her---she needs to ‘see’ you, smell you and feel your touch.
I’ve never had a vet or BluePearl , say I couldn’t see Mike after his Pneumonectomy  or Maggie after her spaying.  I would have been  very suspicious if they hadn’t.
I think her stay  there  can be from 24hrs to 7 days to observe for complication. Being able to urinate is one  important aspect of her recovery.
BTW New pet owners, if they have the chip# can change the info on the chip  to read their contact info and include a photo.

Lani, I like to think the juvie at NEFL is Romeo & Juliet's, so do a lot on their FB page! I also thought the eagle that protected Mom Decorah when Dad disappeared was one of their offspring, and that HD may also be one of theirs... It sounds like Tonto Creek is dangerous when flooded, I googled it and there was this picture of the flooding......

Friends of Minnesota Nongame Eagle Cam - Pat Burke  · Saturday, 25 March 2023, 7:56:59  One of the most beautiful things I think I have ever seen from an eagle momma. Nancy was moving the egg gently and she bends down to the pip and gives a little nibble action to the pipping eaglet. I only wish we had been in close up. I must have watched it 10 times. (in slow motion). Just precious. I wonder if its little beak was right there at the hole. ♥ Kisses from momma

Phyl - The foster to adopt contract that I had to sign with them, does have her microchip number on the paper.  Jeff and I were talking about this last night.  When the time comes for her to get spayed, we know AC will do it for free, cause of the foster to adopt, but we want to ask if our own vet can do it, and show them proof.  I don't mind paying for it.  I trust my vet to take care of her.

Lani - We agree with you and clynn, something is just not right about the whole AC situation, and them wanting her back.  Jeff and I did a lil peeking on their page, and we found a kitty who looks EXACTLY like her back in Dec. 9, 2022, that they said, they were looking to foster out.  Awfully odd, that the first time we see her on our trail cam is Jan 15, 2023.

clynn - Awww, the pic and write-up about Nancy and her pip!

My next question for any Beakers who has cats....How do I know when she is getting close to having these babies?  Is there any signs I need to look for?

CLYNN   Wasn't able to read the article but the photo said it all.  :(   Sweet comment from Pat Burke re  Mn Non game.   LOLOL  worst nest award

LISA    What a coincidence about seeing Misty shortly after the need to foster out.  I've never had the experience but would certainly be "you tubing" for that information or Google-ing it.  Or maybe the vet/vet tech could be helpful?

https://twitter.com/i/status/1637095756686401540 (https://twitter.com/i/status/1637095756686401540)
and this is Flaco, hooting it up.

Morning all...preparing for an approximate 10 plus degrees below normal all week ahead...with some snow in the forecast.....we shall see....
By the first of April we should be averaging 50 above for daytime highs....

Clynn - It doesn't flood at the falls but rather rages with this much snow/ice pack....
Above it is what's called the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District...which is miles and miles of creek which does flood..the last time significantly was 2014...through residential neighborhoods.
Below the falls it flows into the Mississippi.
Because of our 2 year significant drought the predictions this year so far aren't predicting significant flooding. In part, this slow melt is helping...
The Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers do flood and they are on alert this year but not sure where we will end up after all this snow melts.

I saw the pip pics posted last night at the DNR nest.....will need to check up on it and see how it's doing today.

Post by: Phyl on March 26, 2023, 10:29:42 AM

Clynn nice morning greetings for today. Thanks Minnesota Nongame Eagle cam update from Pat Burke . Sweet story about Nancy. LOL worst nest award.

Puff  I believe you're correct. I found this---I needed a refresher course.   https://cats.com/cat-pregnancy (https://cats.com/cat-pregnancy)

Lisa so funny Bandit thinks 'the nursery' is for him.  If she favors behind your loveseat that could be her spot.
 I think you might be misunderstanding  my  earlier post---do you have a copy of the for foster to adopt forms you signed?,  If so you can  copy the chip # on to the website Pet Chip Registry, US. https://www.petchipregistry-us.info/pet_chip_registry (https://www.petchipregistry-us.info/pet_chip_registry) it's the authorized pet chip registry for the US. From here you can find out for yourselves the info that's on her chip and as I said earlier as the new owner, you can also change the info on her chip registry to indicate you and Jeff as owners and etc. 
I wasn't advocating taking her back to AC if you're uncomfortable with them.  I was under the impression that you were obligated to take her to AC under 'Foster to Adopt' contract.  If this isn't the case---then yea---I'd go your own vet---why not?  We all trust our vets to take care of our beloved pets.
I was only saying that it would be comforting to Misty for you to visit her while recovering  from spaying surgery while at your vet's.

Hi Eagles

Lani I just did some reading on  Tonto Creek--- :'(

Phyl - Yep, I do have a signed copy of the foster/adopt papers with the chip# on it.  When I use the link you provided, it says unregistered animal.  I wonder if the vets office has some other way of knowing that particular chip# came from the AC.

Hi all - thanx for checking in... the Musinex is helping and I got some sleep last night/this morning. Probably heading to a local steak house for their bday special tonight.
Yesterday was special. I bought us ($$$) tickets for the MN Wild game for my bday. I've been wanting to attend for 30 years but even the "nose bleed" seats are expensive. The good news is it was a beautiful day and our team won. Not so good news was there was another event next door so even though we got there plenty early the parking ramps were full. Camper had to park several blocks away after he dropped me off. His tooties are not used to walking lately so he was uncomfortable. Our actual seats were narrow and not much leg room. Grr.

Lani - good news, but, does this mean Shannon will still get the headaches and other symptoms? Hugs
Lisa - no way would I go near the AC again. Do they have legal rights to the cat? Hmmm. Pay them for the chip and then say goodbye?

OG, T40 - tnx for the videos
Oh...and since Gonzaga fell apart last night, I guess I'll be rooting for the Owls!

Lani - I literally laughed out loud at your pic.  I do not see Bandit allowing NO kitten on his head.  ;D ::)

tsk - Bandit is something else! 

Phyl - I was wondering if it was some special kind of scanner. 

tig - I hear ya!

DNR update at 11:40 am today: a little progress and lots of chirping per screen shot/video.
Can take 24-48 hrs as we all know.

It's 45 degrees out with sun and clouds, so I did what many Minnesotans do:

After chopping snow/ice another hour in front of where I keep my lawn furniture I gave up once again and pulled an inside heavy chair out to the lower deck and sat in the sun. Listening to Allison Krauss and Emylou Harris...while Ollie man protected me from squirrels down below, rabbits under the deck, and now house sparrows in my snowball viburnum....Eventually, he sat on my feet.
Such a loyal protective dog......reminded me of when while I attended to Scott in his hospital bed at home Ollie sat on my feet up to 45 minutes at a time, 6 times a day...
Love my Ollie man.
We also got a cold walk in earlier this am.

At this rate it might take 6 weeks or more to lower the piles...they drop maybe inches a day, or a foot a week :)

Hi Tig Glad to hear f rom you. Wow! sounds like a special night. Too bad y'all had to walk a distance  to the game---yea they won. I too had to Google Mt. Wild

Lisa/Tig  legal rights of 'Animal Control'. Alley Cat Allies is the go to organization for feral /abandon cats.  This is what's posted on their site.

Yes TSK... is why I selected that game to attend... near my bday and I figured we could beat them! Lol. Sorry to say Chicago is at the bottom of the division this year. They made a game of it though.
So tired of trying to cough this junk off my chest.
Phyl ... I didn't have to walk. Camper always drops me at the door. I actually did need to walk a block after the game because the road was blocked off for traffic control. Cell phone communication helped us connect.

kb - Glad you and Ollie got to sit outside and enjoy some sun!

tsk - You doing ok, since the surgery?

Hi Beakers  :)

Lani - That is good news about Shannon's lesion and that Doc's feel it will not need to be removed.  Good that they plan to do an MRI though. Thoughts & prayers that all will work out for the very best!

Clynn - That is wonderful how you & your two sister's work it out to take turns in going to visit your Mom and its really wonderful how she is doing so well at age 89!!  Love the pic of the bird feeder (I noticed the suction cups for sticking to the window)! ;D

BL - Loved hearing about your 'Spot Henry' - what a special kitty!! I love the way you told the story  ;D  Thanks for the picture - so cute!   Great vid of Steve Winwood & Carlos Santana - really enjoyed!

Oldguy - Thanks for links yesterday - loved the one with 'Tommy the Cat'!

Tsk - Our high temp today was 55 (a little cooler than the average for this time of year).  I see your high was about 42, hope you get more warmth too! :)

LisaG - Bet your dinner last night was delicious!!   Amazing story about the picture of the kitty who looks exactly like Misty that showed up on your trail cam on 1/15/23.  So sorry that you've had to deal so much with AC.  I pray everything works out very well and FAIR for you & Jeff for all you two have done for Misty.

T40 - Such great & funny vids yesterday! ;D

Puff - Bummer about having to sit next to a sick person on a plane  :(

Kb - Great pic and story of Flaco!  Yaaay- so happy for you getting some sun today even tho it was still cool. ;D   Ollie Man is such a loyal, protective part of your family - so wonderful to have him!! ;D :-*

Phyl - Thanks for posting Amy's blog and love the pic of 3 eggs!

Lori, Puff, Tig;  hope you all feel better soon  :)

TIG  My first date with Tim was a Blackhawk hockey game.  Have never been to one since nor do I really follow hockey  LOL

LISA   Daily improvements...Tim still has to clean the lower tiles in the shower tho  LOL  Pretty much back to church stuff.  Pain in back when standing/walking about a 4-6 range on a 0-10 scale

Seems like Mother Goose should have more eggs by now?

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Phyl on March 26, 2023, 07:48:02 PM

We've both been hacking and sneezing.  For us it's the non-allergic rhinitis and drip.  Tickle, tickle tickle...it's Spring. 

Mother goose may yet lay more eggs.  I've read sources saying  typically  5  eggs a season. 
Weren't there about 6 goslings from Decorah geese nest last season?

Tsk little by little you'll get there; hopefully you pain range will lower more before too long.
Kb nice you/Ollie  got a walk  in today.


'Good  Evening and Good Night'  .

Kb, precious pic of parents looking at their baby ... Are they going to catch Flaco and return him to the zoo? He's gorgeous! Love Alison Krauss and EmmyLou Harris... enjoying the sun with your favorite guy Ollie man  :-*

Clynn, I agree I think HD may be one of Decorah mom and dad's.... people don't realize how quickly flood waters can rush a vehicle. I pray they've found the deceased couple's dog.  :'( ... sweet pics, love what Pat Burke wrote "♥ Kisses from momma" ... Wildwoods minimalist nest award! LOL!  ;D

{{{Lisa}}} When it's time for Misty, Puff has a great suggestion about looking for signs.. oh behind the loveseat is a good spot too. I bet Bandit senses something will be happening, don't be surprised if he starts glaring at you both like a GHO! IT'S TIME!  ;D ... I pray you'll feel better soon.  :-*

{{{Tig}}} Neurosurgeon told Shannon to continue working with her ETN doctor and take care of the deviated septum. He's hoping it is allergies.  ??? Her ETN doctor also took care of her went she dealt with thyroid cancer three years ago. I could not believe Gonzaga lost! ... feel better soon, sending a prayer.  :-*

{{{Tsk}}} Mother Goose will lay more eggs, usually it's every two or three days. She may have 5 or 7 like Wilma did at Eaglecrest... I'm happy for you that you are able to return to church activities, especially with Easter coming. I know how important that is for you. Take care :-*

Lani, such good news for Shannon, hope they can do something for her allergies!  Headaches are no fun! So, we will think of HD as one of Mom & Dad's from 2018 or before... I love that! Sweet Mama dog and baby...

Phyl, wonder how many eggs for Mother Goose this year? Thanks for the #7 view, still safe! Another gorgeous sunrise on the Flyway. Soon it will be light!

tsk, you are getting there! Slowly but surely!

kb, sweet oic of the MN DNR family!

Phyl, I am slowly typing with one finger...Honey is on my shoulder and I have to hold her with my other arm. My problem is that some of the letters have worn off of my keys and I keep hitting the wrong letters.  :o It's hard to type without the proper two hand position. My fingers only know the keys they are supposed to know!

E4E, when I got that suction-cup bird feeder for Mom I wasn't convinced that it would stay on the window, but it does!

Lisa, hoping your cough is gone soon! You have Grandmothering to do!

Sue Bruhling - Decorah Eagles - March 24, 2023
I wanted to share with you this image of Mom Decorah and her Guy, DM2 perched on N4, their Nest, looking out over their new territory they have had since they left N2B and begin a new nest (N3) behind the Decorah Walmart in 2020 and begin nesting there in 2021. N3 went down in a storm last summer and they rebuilt a new nest, N4 very close to where N3 was.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

33 and heading to mid 40's  SUNNY

KB   YAY  Thanks for the big announcement at DNR nest.

LANI   I couldn't believe it either when Gonzaga lost.  I'm always reminded that Henry Aaron only got a hit once every 3 times he went to bat.  ;) ;)   Good that Shannon will be in the care of her trusted ENT doc.. What a cute good night photo  :)

PHYL   Now there's a morning exercise routine  :o

CLYNN   " pledge to the earth"  Good one.  Love the arm reaching with the coffee cup in bed  LOLOL   How is your new computer chair working?
Some of my keyboard letters are worn off too.  ::) ::)   That's what I would wonder about the window bird feeder.  Also since we have so many squirrels ?  I think they would bring it down.
Thanks for bringing the now N4 nest to this page.  Amazing how many nests we have seen Mom Decorah build.  Wonder if she ever sneaks a fish out of the retention pond when HM and HD aren't looking  8)

E4E - With everything going on, I have not cooked a good meal in the past week.  So, this weekend I made sure to make two good meals.  Thanks for the kind words.  :)

tsk - I am glad to hear that you are improving daily.  Hopefully, that 4-6 range of pain will eventually go away.  Mother Goose laid her 4th egg last night, I see!

Phyl - Hope you and Jim feel better.  Last, night was the first night I only coughed twice in the night, so I feel like I am improving. Cute good morning pic!  Great cam pics, and gorgeous Flyway sunrise!

kb - Such a sweet pic from MN DNR!!!!

Lani - Great advice and suggestions from all Beakers! We really thought last night was the night, as she kept going behind loveseat.  Jeff picked her up and brought her in Bradley's room, but false alarm!  We have the closet ready for her, and also an extra large Chewy box, that Jeff cut out an area for her to get out, but not the kittens.  We have set up her water, food and litter box in there.  AC gave us special litter to use.  Jeff slept in there last night with her, so tonight will be my turn.  I think she likes Jeff staying with her tho, but he needs his Cpap machine, and he hasn't been using it when he is with her.  And, boy is he tired.

clynn - I can always count on a giggle from you.... You have Grandmothering to do!  ;D
Great pics from Sue & Benny o Mom & DM2!!

Morning all:

Lani - Flaco the eagle-owl was set free by an act of vandalism, in February sometime.
For now, they are letting it stay "free"....
I don't really know more than that except of course bird watchers are a watching!.

Seems to me, so many zoo "incidents" lately across the country, and I'm not speaking of mother nature's problem, but vandalism and sometime incompetence.....a worrying trend.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: clynndunn on March 27, 2023, 08:32:26 AM

tsk, yes, you have to put the bird feeder high enough so the squirrels can't reach it. Mom has a lot of squirrels too!  We just tried it and if they got too close we moved it up a little. There's a milk crate on the ground that we use to step on and fill the feeder.  You can see the feeder  in this picture. It has never fallen off, those suction cups hold it very well. I was skeptical at first!

Phyl - Sneezing now that it is Spring!   There is a tree in front of the apartment where my Mom lives that is in full bloom and she is taking a 'Claritin' once a day and it helps her.   Beautiful cam pics! :)

Kb - Love the DNR nest pic - yaaay! ;D

Clynn - Lol! Not easy to type while you hold Honey in one arm! ;) :)  Thanks for posting Sue Bruhling and pics!!  Cute pic of Talon & Bella with your Mom(?)  ;D

LisaG - I'm sure Jeff appreciated those delicious meals you made - you are a wonderful cook! ;D

Clynn Honey on your shoulder/one finger typing Yikes! Love the photo your mom and the Munchkins. I think you look like her.  :)  Thanks for sharing Sue Bruhling's  photos and N4 history. I had forgotten some of  that  ::) But, I do rememnber when N3 got blown down and the replacement.
The window birdfeeder is in a good spot. I had a window bird house once suctioned to the window in downstairs lavatory when Mike was young and our one & only. He liked it too much. LOL   But the bluebirds used it.  They kinda pushed the nest higher in the back. Then Jim discovered the nesting boxes---the rest is bluebird history.  ;)
Oh yea. I have some wildlife news to tell---if I can get it all together.

Tsk luv the bunnies; Hurrah your temps are warming  :) ;   thanks for asking about Clynn's new desk chair, I hope it's working out for her.  Morning exercise routine, LOL I can just see us all doing that.  ::)

Lisa happy to read that you're doing better and from your Misty report, just in time  :-*   Bless Jeff for sleeping in with her, good Grandpa.  ;)
 AC gave you some 'special litter' for PG cats? Didn't ever see that on shelves--learn  new something every day.  ;)

Kb  I so glad they're letting Flaco stay 'free' even if for the present.    Indeed-- There is a most 'alarming' rash of vandalism directed toward zoos and animal care facilities. I can guess where it goes from there.  Lovely wolf (?) Thanks.

Hi Eagles Even though Dx (diagnosis) is chronic non-alergic rhinitis, we still get a tiny bit of allery 'action' Spring/Fall.  I've been take Flonase for 20 yrs---remember Actifed?  Didn't do much for me then.
When is your mom's next doc appt? It was with a specialist?    Oh-How's the DeLorean restoration going?

Lani I read too fast and miss things.   Happy to know Shannon will be seeing her regular ETN doc. It always helps when your health care provide  is one
that's trusted. Lessens the fretting.

Phyl  Lisa Special litter is to protect the lady of the house, not the pregnant cat.  Clay litter absorbs and holds wet urine from cat who could have a virus, I think it's a virus or germs, that can cause issues to the pregnant woman or the baby she's carrying.  Pregnant litter is made with paper that absorbs and/or prevents urine from splashing or getting into human pores.  That can cause a big problem for mom or baby.

Thanks  Puff .Well I know about that litter... Just never heard of paper litter refered to as 'special' litter.   . Actually over the course of 40yrs as cat parent,  I've used every sort of 'litter' made including from wheat. That's why now,  I use a CatGenie litter appliace.

Say! How are you doing this morning? Much better I hope.  ;)

Bearstudy - Tasha Up, Swans Back, and a First - UPDATE March 24, 2023

Spring has sprung! The beautiful Trumpeter Swans have returned to an open stretch on the Shagawa River just east of Ely. About a dozen swans were back, mostly pairs, with a dozen or so Goldeneye Ducks sharing the water. The nearest pair of swans looked serene with no hint what would come next, something I never saw before, and now I know why. It only happened for about a minute. But a lot happened in that time. Suddenly, the male, the swan on the right in the serene picture, was on his mate, taking the back of her head in his bill with both of their heads submerged for a few seconds. Then their heads were up where they could breathe again as they went from one position to another, ending with what looked like a celebration of both their heads extended tall together. A lucky sighting.

Tasha is up! Bears in Tasha’s old stomping grounds in Kentucky are stirring, while bears in Lucky’s old home of Wisconsin are a little later.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Kb, Thanks, great morning pic.

Lisa, Oh you and Jeff are St Francis's angels. Mike uses a cpap machine too. It's connected to an oxygen machine at home, but he can turn it into a portable one for out of town trips. Can Jeff's cpap be made portable too? Bless you both for taking such good care of the B&B Misty girl! She's in good loving hands.  :-*

Tsk, Gonzaga is in talks with Big 12 Conference (KU) as a possible new addition, with Texas and Oklahoma leaving Big 12 Conference for the SEC in 2024 Fall season. BYU will be joining Big 12 too. Shannon's ENT will be keeping a close eye on the calcified lesion, which is located on the top of her head and connected to the skull.

Clynn, I placed Alphabet Keyboard Replacement stickers on my last keyboard. That might help.... awww Honey  :-* Milo likes to sit and nuzzle my hand when I'm typing. Norman likes to walk back and forth in front of the screen. He's hit the esc key or lock button many times.  :-\ ... Love Sue's post of Mom Decorah and DM2 on their new nest. It's so good to see her and to know she and her mate are well, Life goes on!  :-*. ... yes, Lisa will have lots of "grandmothering to do" LOL! .. sweet pic of your mom and the munchkins. Bella has grown since that pic, and I'm sure that was just last summer.

Phyl, beautiful sunrise, morning greetings to Audi and egglet.... YAY! #4 for Mother Goose.  ;D

KB  I was also hearing about the increased zoo vandalism for a while there.  So happy for Mn DNR

CLYNN  OK  I get the idea -Do you remember the brand you used?  Cute phot by the way   ;) :)

It's only 40 above here but I'm feeling the itch...spring itch that is!
10 degrees below average and getting much colder this week.

So, I have a small patch of grass on the north side of my driveway that is missing snow and a few patches in the front yard where I shoveled a path for Ollie, that I'm going to blow the leaves and ash seeds off of.

Such a Minnesotan I am..with coat, gloves and boots I'll be out there blowing!.... ;) ;) ;)I must be like Tasha.

E4E - Aww, thanks for saying that.   :)

Phyl - Great pic of Mother Goose and her eggs!   So sad about the shooting in Nashville!

kb - Awww, doting eagle parents  :-*

Puff - I remember that about pregnant women and cat litter. 

tsk - MG has 6 eggs last year, and only 5 hatched.  I wonder how many she will have this year!  Oh, I hope Misty knows what to do.  I am already nervous about the whole thing. 

I'm sure it is not "special" litter, but just something that AC wanted me to use for Misty and the kittens.  It's called FreshNews, and made out recycled paper?  AC said, the clay and dust in the Double Duty by Arm & Hammer that I use could smother the kittens when they breathe it in, not sure if that is true or not.

Lisa thanks for sentiment on Nashville shooting--one of my doc's grand children goes there  :(    Thanks for anwsering my question on '22 season egg count for MG .

 Also, thanks for clarification on litter type.  I've head of/ and seen  Fresh News litter . It's  100% post consumer paper, low dust not scented and biodegradable.
Yes! The dust from other littercan cause issues for newborn and young kittens.

Oh we've been melting for a month now.

I've also been climbing on top of my piles and throwing snow to the south...
Including my back, but it's so full of ice.
Back is worse.

Here is today after at least 10 days/an hour a day of me chopping and throwing.
the green is where all winter I made a path for Ollie to do his business.

tsk, I searched for the window bird feeder and found several, but boy the price sure has gone way up!  I swear I only paid around $12 and the cheapest one I found was $25! This style is the best, all you have to do is slide the food hopper out, fill it up and slide it back in. Easy peasy. I also like this one because you know birds don't like each other, and since they perch on the sides there isn't as much fitting at each other.

Tsk Yea. It's thought she was once a student there, last I heard. Been busy with bank. Litter is all crazy---I got fed up and bought a CatGenie  litter appliance.


Clynn I'm not surprize the increased cost of wildlife and pet supplies. That's a nice little feeder you got your mom.  Before mom's stroke while she was still in Joplin. I surprized her with a suctioned cup hummingbird feeder from Basd Pro Shop in Springfield Mo
Like this only with a clear glass.

She stuck on the unused side of patio doors for viewing inside or out.  Birds and Mom loved it.

I have a neighbor who was recently pregnant and kept her cat and changed the litter box while hubby was on business trips.
She wore KN95 masks, those Nitrile medical gloves ( each tossed in trash after single use / pulling the gloves off inside out) and a Mamasan apron .
She kept two alternated washing daily.
Baby was just fine and loves the cat.

Lani - Love the Trumpeter Swan pic!!

Clynn - Good thing you bought that bird feeder for your mom when you did!!  Looks like the price has doubled now!!

Phyl - Oh my gosh that bear that puts the traffic cone back up is amazing!!

Just want to say that the terrible senseless slaughter at the Nashville school has me so upset tonight;   3 - innocent 9 yr olds, and 3 - adults; sickening. :'( :'( :'(

I'm excited as you are! LOL!  I hope you and Jeff sleep well tonight, as well as mama-to-be and Bandit. I can't wait for pics and videos.

Clynn, sweet photo of owner and his cat that was found after the tornado. Terrible loss.  :'(

Hello  Everyone  and...

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4a/fa/6a/4afa6a3a4b9709223ac63d3e32599cfc.jpg)

Today mostly sunny and 61F . And tonight  34F and clear skies.

When Jim gets home, he'll finish mowing what he didn't accomplish on Friday.
Been saving up some purchases from Amazon and eBay. So I get to go on a digital shopping 'spree'.


Lisa   Hope you're feeling better and  all is well with everyone. Any Misty false alarms?  I have to say as a woman who's never held new born life or carried  life to term . I am excited beyond words! I can hardly wait for photos and a video.   Honestly---I  wish , I was your neighbor down the street and the phone would ring and Jeff would say, "Phyllis get your buns down here!' I'd drop everything. LOL

Lani last night's pooch is too cute and LOL  Wonderful what Ryan Hall's Y'all squad  is doing this for Miss.

Thanks for reminder Eagles on your mom's appt. Good progress on the Delorean. Star doing 'okay'?

{{Puff, Tig and Lori}} hope you gals are recovering more each day

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS

31 and heading to high 40s - Mostly cloudy today.

KB   Thanks for the pic.  Certainly looking much better   ;)

CLYNN   Thanks a bunch for the link.  I will talk with Tim about it.  Oh so happy that Mason's cat survived the F4 tornado.  Poor guy.  :'(

PHYL   Some bears are just more orderly!!  ;D ;D

EAGLES  Waiting for the doc appt is such agony.  Pray she can get some help.

LANI   Those are the stories  " Y'all squad"  that renew faith in this country.  Would love a news channel that devoted a couple hours to those stories every day.

With deep sadness, Team Aryana shares this video of a California Scrub Jay stealing the eggs in Aryana's third clutch.We are heartbroken, and know you are, too. Witnessing tragedies like this is the price we pay for the privilege of first row seats in nature's classroom. 💔 There is plenty of time left in this mating season, and Aryana's raised many successful babies in this spot, so we believe she will build a new nest and incubate another brood.

Hi Tsk  nice Easter gif this AM, your temps are getting warmer  dispite the cloudiness :)

Clynn as always I end up going back to catch things I may have missed reading;  very relieved that Mason's cat survived that F4 tornado.
Everyone bedraggled lookiing, esp. his kitty. Still so much loss on all levels.

27 now, high 50 today.  41 tomorrow, 66 on Thursday!

Phyl, Audi & 7, a good beginning to every morning until that little one hatches! Getting lighter on the Flyway, beautiful! Cute morning greeting! Love the bear and the traffic cone, so conscientious! Interesting on all the auroras!  Awww, just read about Aryanna's eggs. Dang!

tsk, Lulu will also love watching the birds at the window! I would vote for that news channel too!

Lani, I have had a couple of cats that had kittens, the last one was maybe 1980. Sugar Baby had 3 kittens, I held each one of them. So tiny and helpless, their tiny cries as they blindly search for Mama's warm body and milk... I didn't get her fixed in time, she was pretty young. One before that, we were moving from Missouri to Illinois, Tennille (the Dad was Captain) had 3 kittens on  the passenger floor of the car while driving. My first husband was driving the U-Haul in front of me. No cell phones, had to wait for gas stop to tell him! But the best part is when they are 3+ weeks old and start playing with each other, such fun to watch!

Phyl - Great pics from the cams this morning. Feeling alot better this morning, and I think the coughing may have stopped.  You all in the Beak will be the first to know when she has the kittens!  Jeff came in the kitchen last night, and says....Bandit is in the birthing box!   ::) ;D  I am like what, does he think he is giving birth!

Lani - I have never had a pregnant animal in my life, so I do not know what to expect, and am very nervous!  I slept in the room with Misty last night, and hardly got any sleep.  She was up and down, drinking water, eating, in the litter box, laying on the floor.  I couldn't sleep cause all I kept thinking was, please do not go under this bed!

E4E - Thank you!  :D  Prayers for your Mama!

clynn - Love that birdfeeder!  Awww, so glad that Mason was reunited with his cat after the tornado. 

tsk - Pretty morning greeting.

clynn - Love that coffee greeting!  Aww, so you had kitties before.  Hold my hand, when its time for Misty!  ;D

Kb, stunning photo of the African Fish Eagle. MpMom and I loved watching and taking photos of them on Pete's Pond in Mashatu Game Reserve. But, the cam's quality was poor, and you couldn't capture the beauty of it's under wing feathers.

Lisa, "Bandit in birthing box" LOL! You and Jeff will be a wreck by the end of this first week since the news.  :-* Now, remember Bradley is taking notes of how you both handle this situation. It'll make a big impression when they need a sitter.  ;D  ;) ;D

Clynn, sweet precious White Tiger cubs, Mama is a beauty! So true about "stuff", though after two big moves, I still have a lot of stuff. It'll take the last move before I finally give up some things. But, I may leave it for the girls and my sister to go through. I've already talked to Aly about collections of dishes and special items.  ;D .. love your story of traveling with kittens. It was crazy time when we traveled with three cats, dog and fish from Kansas to Arizona. But, kittens would take it to another level.  :o

{{{Tsk}}} I wish for a good news channel too, even a couple hours would be nice. That's why I no longer watch news channel. I stream my favorites nests, shows and sports.

My first cat, my first litter - - My dad found it at the door when he got home from work, raining/pouring.  Said she could spend the night but she was out in the morning.  He always told stories about how he tortured cats when young.  Don't get ahead of me, he changed quickly.  We never named her because she wasn't staying anyway.  Called her Pussy Cat for 10 years.  Yep, she was looking for shelter because she was due to have her litter!  Had 3 kitties.  Only one name I can recall was Ugly!  What a sweetie he was. 

Anyway when I got married I took Pussy Cat.  That didn't work too well.  The family poodle Lady wouldn't eat, Pussy Cat wouldn't eat, my Dad wouldn't eat!  Had to take Pussy Cat HOME.  Things happened really fast.  Wasn't even a year as I recall that Dad felt a lump while he gave her her nightly belly rub.  He never said anything until the following night.  He told me while trying to stop sobbing.  He didn't even tell Mom until he got home with no Pussy Cat.  Dad loved Pussy Cat!  I'd like to say she was my first cat after all the dogs, But she wasn't.  I don't think/I don't remember ever seeing my Dad feel so bad.

I just thought I pop in about kitty litter.  About 2 years ago, I switched to Pretty Litter.  It's great.  It acts similarly to those little packets that help keep things dry that you find in packaging. It also will alert you to any urinary issues with your kitty.  It changes color, and based on the color it changes to, it gives you an idea about what is going on with your kitty.  You just scoop up the poop and stir the rest so the urine is absorbed evenly.

I started using it after one of my girls was diagnosed with a urinary issue.  Thank goodness she's been fine since, but it's nice to know I have the litter to warn me of a change.

Hi Lori! Sorry you are still sick, but hopefully the new medication will do the trick.  Prayers that you get well soon!

Tig - Reading is the perfect thing to be doing.  Get plenty of rest and relax, and hope you feel much better soon!

LisaG - When I was young, we had a cat that had kittens in my Dad's garage!  My Mom & Dad always had an opening for the cats to go in and out of the garage as they wanted.  My Dad had a box with rags & old towels in it and that is the place where she had her kittens!

Lani - Thanks for link on the weighing of the albatross chick - they are so careful & tender with how they do the weighing. :)

((Puff)) - Thanks for sharing your story about Pussy Cat.  :-*

tsk - The bed in Bradley's room is a futon bed, and the mattress sits on a metal bed frame.  The mattress can be easily lifted up, so I can get to her if needed.  Hoping it won't come to that.

weasel - Thanks for the info about the litter.  I think I have seen that brand before.

E4E - Aww, how nice of you Dad to keep a box of rags in the garage.  I am hoping she goes in the box.

Awwww  'Love MeowMeow" mama tigress and cubs--gosh-a-mighty they're sooooo tiny as mom on her hind legs is taller than a 6' human male.
'Amen' to the 3 stages of Life.

Lisa pretty sunflowers this AM; Lol Bandit. He might be having empathy for Misty unlike some human males during their spouses pregnancies.  ;D

Kb awesome Subsaharan African fish eagle. I see some of those watching the African cams.  Awesome Minnehaha Falls  from this view

Hi Eagles gosh! Your mom has a while yet for her appt.  :(     Nice 'flutterby's/roses' this Am.
 Oh I've had loads for fun spending moo-lah. Let's see I bought a new left head light for Jim's
Pontiac as he had a collision with what I don't know. Wouldn't say.  I found some pest proof barrel shaped boxwood shrubs and 3 sets of Weather Tech sink mats 
 and bought replacement pieces for my  Haviland bone China.  ;D

Lisa   Looks like Miss Misty may have found her birthing place.
Good thing it's a Futon. 

Lori nice greetings today. Ditto on removing the birth sac---esp around the nose and mouth first  ???   
Shucks. Still feeling rotten. Perhaps the change in meds will help. Hope so, anyway.

Lani many thanks for the Royal Albatross , SP still has time to put on some KGs. Oh  l just saw the tweet of SP  :o    Tks for track chick weight link

Puff sweet story about 'Pussy Cat'

Hi Weasel


Jim's showered and all-didn't mow as it's too cold today, Maggie's snoozing in my desk chair.   All I have to do is slide it all inside the oven.
If I've missed something---I'll try to catch it in the AM. Unless it's some birth announcements.  I bet some will be all white  >:(

Lani, love the picture of the Lemurs you posted yesterday, reminds me of Keebler at Wild Heart Ranch! Traveling with cats...Becky & Jennifer have traveled from Oregon to Mom's in Albion 5 times now (2265 miles) with their cats Lucy and Molly! The girls travel very well now, they know they are going to Grandma's  and they like her house because it's all carpeted! Their new house in Corvallis has hardwood floors which they are not so fond of... How is your furry family?

Phyl, Yes, I have the Princess Munchkin today! The Flyway has a different look today with that line of thick clouds, beautiful! And a very tiny peek at #7! I was searching through my Amazon purchases for when I purchased an item and I was shocked at how much I have purchased online the last few years! I love finding bargains and things for the kids! I got a lot of things free because of rewards on my Discover card, I can spend them on Amazon. Love that 'buck-toothed' dog!  ;D

Puff, sweet story of Pussy Cat...I have heard of many times that the cat loves the person who supposedly didn't want a cat!

Lori, oh no, you just can't get a break! Please feel better!

Hi Clynn Say you might want to recheck my Sauces post above. As I found a better view of #7 and modified the post to show it. I'm soooo slow this AM
Great greetings today.  Oh that's cute---Princess Munchkin. I know it's kind of scary how much a person spend on AMazon.  I have such an amount on my Wells Fargo  >:(
That chart will be great for Lisa!  For any of us actually. Been decades since I've had a kitten in the house.  Thanks for posting it  ;)
I have heard of those dryer sheets .
Thanks for update on Norwich  Cathedral and Edith, egg #2. Hurrah

Lani I  kept seeing your lemurs flash as I worked on posting last night and this AM.  So rechecked them---wonderful  photo, luv their pose. Thank you!

HI EVERYONE

Hanging in the mid 30's today  Maybe some sun later  :(

PHYL  Funny dog and Easter basket  LOL  You were busy with on-line shopping yesterday.  Weather Tech certainly has expanded their line of product.  Their plant is located south west of me.  Went there to get car/hatch mats for my previous car.   Good morning on the flyway  :)

CLYNN   Good growth chart for kitties.  Bet those dryer sheets are a real plus esp for dogs.

LINDAWYO   Happy Heavenly Birthday

Phyl, yes it an even better picture of the Flyway! And a better view of #7! Love Mama Goose in the nest! Interesting article about the HUGE eagle of long ago...

tsk, 30 right now, high 43 today. 65 tomorrow, 71 Friday with thunderstorms and wind!

Black Eagle Project Roodekrans
And Nest preparation continues. These photos, taken this morning by Johann Van den Berg, a regular BEPR Monitor, show how Makatsa and Mahlori are bringing sticks to the nest in preparation of the upcoming breeding season. Looking at historical records, the first egg could be laid by mid April. That’s not long to wait. BEPR will publish regular updates. Watch this space.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

I have 6 days of posts to read to get caught up, so that will take me a bit. I just read the first few since my last post last week.

Lisa, wow on Misty being preggers. Hope the kittens will be ok - rough start for them in the feral world. That's some story about the chip and Animal Services - guess they weren't very responsible caretakers!!! Misty is one lucky kitty now! :-*  I LOLd your remark about what have you gotten yourself into... I think it's more like, What has Jeff gotten you into now?  ;) ;D  I hope your ears are better.

Puff and Tsk, and others using eye drops... I saw one news report that said there are actually 11 different brands that may be affected by the contamination that has caused infection, some blindness, some loss of eyeballs, and even death. I think, but I'm not sure, they are all OTC brands. Anyone using eyedrops should check with a valid source of info (not any TV news channel because they don't always have the full, or correct, info), or the manufacturer, or the FDA, or your doc or pharmacist, to see if they are involved in the issue. Puff, it's from the contamination in some of them causing an infection... easy to go from eye to brain if an infection goes without being caught and effectively treated in time.


My Littlest Greatniece turned 5 years old recently. She got a new bike for her b'day, and had fun learning to ride it. Meanwhile, her dad adjusted her scooter for Baby Bro to ride on, so they both had fun together on their wheels. You know Baby Bro wants to do whatever his big sister does! LOL.  ;) :D  She had a party at a fun play place and invited her preschool classmates. A good time was had by all.  :)

Hi Tsk Wow. Weather Tech plant that close---far out.  They do have a wide variety of items adressing all issues. Sadly W/T doesn't make a sink mat to fit our mnaster bathroom cabinets. So I just ordered for the hall bath and kitchen. Jim said when the mats arrive he'll install for me all the while thinking about how he can make them work in our B/R.  Sure which they'd make a cat feeding statiion that was higher up like 6".  I'd buy one for Maggie . How's Lulu and 'her mommie'today?
 Sunshine is good even if cold temps. Maggie's been sunning herself all morning.
First in our B/R window (big picture) and then on the stairs  >:(. Makes for me, navagating them a hazard . But I manage.  ;)
Nice Easter greeting this AM.

Clynn better temps for you later in week. Sadly when it warms the winds pickup---sometimes.
I periodically check  chat /nest  Black Eagles of  Roodekrans. Good photo.  ;)

Lisa  Luv the Easter greeting today! Gingerbread bunny is tempting. Many thanks for Misty photo.  I bet she's fidgeting due to some contractions.
Do I have a maternity story to tell from my insurance agent days. ::)
She looks great I forgot how much black fur she has---kittens will look fine and not too much like daddy. LOL    Jeff and Bandit are so funny.
Do you have some kitten formula and tiny bottles---just incase?
LOL Bradley comment---

Hi Eagles nice cuppa on a rainy day. I know H2O did an awesome snap! I'm just not that quick--- although I did catch a pair of Wildebeest calves playing chase the other day. And, caught them in mid-gallop at water hole. Got a mani/pedi appt this pm. Dinner will be brie/apple sutffed chicken breast, French style gr. beans with slivered almonds garden salad, wht wine---maybe scallope potatoes?

Lani sweet bear cubw/ mama.  Good news on SP taking charge of his place. Thanks for the video.  ;)

Hi Bazi thankd for the photos of LGN on her B/D and Baby Bro . Nice looking family.

Well I need to get busy...hurry, hurry.

tsk World Famous scenic point of interest locally - about 2 miles down I55 for that national factory for Weather Tech.

Working on the memory bank - bez I'm picking through the ole brain cells trying to remember old TV show who/which used the "preggers" word.  Maybe just a generational words. 

Good news on the bug I picked up from bozo on the plane - it seems to be clearing out.  Hacking sounds terrible, but easier to breathe.  I even had more than soup and liquids yesterday.  Made the corned beef/brussel sprouts.  Even with my anosmia problem - the combination really smelled up the block.  LOL

Well, I fed me, but haven't fed my feathered friends since Mar 12.  They'll be scouting for a new restaurant. . .

Back to the pool today, hot tub, moist sauna. Still congested but getting better. I found a free movie channel that plays oldiesso that has been fun, in between reading.
Still having leftovers from our steak dinners!

Lani, I am still laughing about SP throwing up on the teenagers!  LOLOL! Love the way they clack their beaks. Even the teen gangsters are gentle... Love the pic of Mama Bear and her litttle one!

baz, love the pics of Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro. I bet she loves her new bicycle and I bet he can't wait to get one too!

Lisa, surely Misty will wait until you get home...but maybe not!  ;D ;D Everything will be fine, millions of kittens are botn every year, most without human help...

Boulder County Fairgrounds Osprey Cam - Riv Hellington  (A goose pair arrived at the Boulder Osprey nest before the ospreys returned.)
19:45 The goose pair approached the nest and mom chased them off and to the pond, where she swooped on one. The male goose returned to the nest a few minutes later on his own, but did little more than honk for a few minutes before flying off. Mom is sleeping peacefully on the perch as of midnight. 🙂

LaniAs we all  know ---   It was Lindawyo who posted  the cat/dog shames.  She was  The Mistress of the art.  ;).
I had fun reviving them in her memory. Love the photo of her.

{{Lil Bro}} thinking of you especially today.  Peek in from time to time. You like Linda  are greatly  missed.


Bazi I've heard 'preggers' use occassionally for PG . But, what I've heard a lot of is 'Preg-O' by men when refering to their wives or any woman who's pregnant.  I recall hearing..." When my wife was Preg-o with our..." 

Puff  recovering ---great news on the 'bug' you caught while traveling.  ;)

The Old Town Pickle was dusted off on the Delaware River.
A bluebird blue sky kind of a day ..
Ambient 69° f ..
Wind flat to headwind SW 5 mph ..
River current very fresh ..
Water 32° ..

Wow on the winged things observed there.

Nesting and Things on the wing, sun blotting out of the shadows the raptors did. Close.   

The peeping _ the Spring and vocalizing was a cacophony of a symphony before they were words.

Many winged and feathered friends chimed mammalian in as did theirs. 

We stoked a fire on a island and grinned as a true NJ Hell Bender saddled up to our camp.

We're just jaw dropped. One heck of a cool huge spectacular salamander   _
 
We always pay homage to the let us not be upset watercraft controllers.

CLYNN  Fun day for Gram and Bella.  ;D  Thank goodness for the $1.25 Tree store  :o  Brilliant grandalas  :o

PHYL   Pretty Easter centerpiece.  Wish I was that creative. ???   Remember on the Dick Van Dyke show - he and Mary Tyler Moore slept in twin beds?  Is that your Easter collection in the niche?   Good goin' Savanna  ;D   Six eggs for mama goose - will she get to 7?

BL  I'm going to guess the " Old Town Pickle" is a boat?   Did you ever write poetry?

OLDGUY   there you are....Never liked that type of nail clipper.  Wish we could cut this cat's nails  :(   

LANI    I was working on updating a document yesterday with names  - phone numbers etc.  Just hit the wrong key and lost the document.  ::)  Spent 2 hours trying to get it back.  Had to recreate the document using a cut and paste from abbreviated versions of it I still had saved.  :P

Kb - Beautiful Lion pic - I wonder how someone was able to take this picture?!    Will you & Ollie be taking a walk this morning? :)

LisaG - Hope you had a wonderful evening with your former co-worker and a good dinner  :)

KB - I see 15. LOL. All I did this a.m. was reattach my downspout extender... for the rain portion. Watch out tomorrow Iowa folks... weather.
I just heard a weather forecaster say that depending on 1 degree of temperature shift... we could get 10 inches of snow in Richfield and yet just 1 inch of rain in Eagan! But.... this guy usually over-predicts IMHO. Talons crossed...
Here is a stat: https://www.weather.gov/mpx/snowdepthstreak

Mn Wild beat last year's champs last night. Yay! About 8 more games of regular season to go...

Back to reading and resting today.

Eagles4 - not sure...about walking Ollie man this morning...snow starting up around 1pm...changing to rain all night, and tomorrow and then heavy heavy snow about an inch an hour into the night Friday.

It's very cold right now so trying to wait for that moment when it's warmer this morning but also before the snow starts.
It's on my to do list....but dicey.

Morning kb, tig, Puff and all   :)

tsk - Cute greeting, and sounds like good temps today. 

clynn - Pretty good morning greeting.  Oh, I would love to be in that cabin and looking at that view.  Great pic from Benny!  Great Bella day pics!

Phyl - Great pics from the cams, and yay, MG laid her 6th egg!  Finally an egg for Savanna!
Nancy and I were not thrilled with the restaurant.  I had ordered Crab & Corn Chowder, it was cold when they brought it out, plus the potatoes in it were hard. I sent it back to be reheated, and it still came back lukewarm.  My crab cake was good that I had for my dinner, but Nancy did not like her shrimp salad.  It's a new place in town that has been open a month or more, but supposed the owner/chef was from the restaurant that was there before. 

Lani - Sorry about your post!

oldguy - Thanks for the videos, much appreciated!

E4E - It was nice to catch up with former co-worker.  :)

No kitties yet, another false alarm!  It was my turn in the room last night, and I really thought it was the night...she was in the closet, box, under the bed....repeat, and all before midnight!  Don't ask me how, but Bandit opened the door at 2am, and he wanted inside. So, he laid on the floor for a while with her and both went in living room to play.  I am tired!  ;D

Clynn, I loved the Bella Day pics! Was her haircut a big deal to her? It looks nice, but some kids just don't want their hair cut, but I would guess that Bella would enjoy any reason to go to the salon.  ;) :D  She looks like she had an extra happy day at Grandma's house!  :)

BL, wow, I am sooo jealous. I have never been lucky enough to spy a Hell Bender in real-life-in-the-wild-nature in person. I would jump and point and all that there.  8) ::) ;) Hell Bender would be like, Geeze, Lady, get control of yourself.  ;D  I'm hoping you were upstream of that chemical contamination spill upstream of Philly's drinking water in-take on the Delaware River. Hope the Pickle kept you two high and dry on your run. Bluey with?  :)

Lisa, none of my preggers cats had their kittens while anyone was watching, or with them, though we tried. LOL. They always sneaked away and disappeared, only to be discovered mid-birth. And one of them had birthed a 3-kittens litter mid-morning when my sister and I finally found her in the back of my father's closet, and we definitely thought that was the whole batch, but, SURPRISE! after we checked on her, put them in their box with blankets, and left her to nurse them in quiet for a bit, we came back an hour later to check on them, and she had birthed a 4th kitten!! Sur-PRISE!  :D :D They don't want anyone there during birthing, I don't think. And of course, she moved those kittens 3 different times  ::) ;) :D  ... LOLOL!!  I know you have Misty where she can't disappear during the night, but you might want to have a space in that room for her that is "away from peering eyes" - just in case. LOL. I can't wait to hear how many she has and what they look like, and how she does - wondering how old she is, and if she has ever had a litter before... I guess it's a mystery, at least part of that. You're going to have a barrel of laughs with those little ones... mew, mew, mew, mew, mew, mew, mew  ;) :D :-* and I bet Bandit will be a great babysitter!!  :-*

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: baziunc on March 30, 2023, 04:18:14 PM

Oh, I forgot to mention... some had posted about "preggers," after my post using it a day ago or so... I've used it for years - and have no idea where or when I first heard it. It's pretty commonly used by the Brits, apparently.  :)

Meanwhile...

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

I still haven't had a chance to catch up on the 6 days of posts before yesterday that I've recently missed out on... I will get there eventually. LOL. I've just popped in real quick-like yesterday and today, and so saw posts those days...

Take care, All. ESPECIALLY TOMORROW, those in the areas noted by the NWS as being in high possibility for severe weather on Friday, including very likely possibility of tornadic weather... last update I saw earlier showed that to include a huge chunk of Iowa, and other places south of there, and around. I'm sure the dicey weather locations forecasted will be adjusted.

So, PLEASE, stay alert, and heed warnings if you are in those areas. I hope it all fizzles out, but better to stay informed, alert, and prepared.

Stay safe, All, especially in those severe weather forecasted areas.

Baz, I've heard my then young teenagers use the term "preggers" in Kansas.
Now, back to last night's post  ;D. ... Many happy birthday wishes for your Lil Punkin! I cannot believe she is 5! Where has the time gone, because now Lil Bro is trying to use a scooter!  :o
Geez, time flies by! Love the pics  ;D

{{{Puff}}} glad to read you're feeling a bit better  :)

Kb. Love the Shepherd pups! WOW! The Kings are walking the road! That's an amazing sight!

Tig, glad to hear you're feeling better and able to return to the pool  :)

BL,   :)

Clynn Love Miss Bella's new haircut, she's very grown up, great pics.... Love see the Boulder Ospreys returning to their nest, reminds me of Iris. I check on the site everyday, she should be returning anytime in the next three days. Dr. Greene and staff have replaced the IR on Hellgate cam and updated. Nest and area looks great! ... beautiful Grandalas pic... gorgeous view of the Grand Canyon.

Oldguy, thanks for links. I watched a Mammoth video from Mammoth Mountain Life, another 36" of snow.  :o ...  I like Andy and Ryan Hall... Go Iowa!  ;D

also Ryan Hall and his Y'all squad delivered extra cooking equipment & whipped up an additional 2,500+ free meals for the locals.
We also got hundreds of Easter baskets for the kids & plenty of water, soda and other goods that we gave away for free.  All total more than $100,000 worth of goods.
Listened to families, shared their sorrows and tried to give hope.

Phyl, YAY! Mother Goose and 6 eggs!  ;D ... So now it's Savannah and Newman and egg!

Tsk, I just completed going through a couple of documents updates too. I had to battle Norman and Milo from walking over my keyboard.  :(

Eagles, it's been a rainy morning, sunny around noon, now cloudy with possible chance of snow kind of day!  :-\

Lisa, sorry about your dinner last night. Bad meal and no sleep, that's no fun... But at least you got to spend some time with a good friend and it looks like Misty and Bandit had a good night too ;D

{{{Lori}}} I pray you're feeling better.  :-*

Lani, I have been watching some of the many videos from Mammoth and other hard hit areas, bless the folks that get in there and help, like the ones in the HeavyDSparks videos. There are a lot of good folks out there that live to help others!  I am hoping and praying that Iris finds a good mate this year and that Louis stays away! He only visits to try and steal her fish and some hanky panky...

Lisa, it is great to catch up on what's going on at work after you retire, Erin used to work in the department I was in and he kept me up on the goings on, but he is now in a different department so I don't hear as much! So Misty's birthday is June 2022, I used the guess from the rescue for Honey and Harley and made it the first. Honey June 1, 2015 and Harley October 1 2015. June 2022 makes me think this could very possibly be Misty's second litter...

baz, I hate that we kind of missed Lil' Punkin's birthday, I know you posted the cute pictures of her with her new bicycle earlier this week! We don't know the actual date but can't we just have any old day in March that we can use to with her a happy birthday? How about March 25th? I think Bella was fine with her haircut, she does love going to the salon! Sydney gets her nails done and she has taken Bella a couple of times to get hers done too! Girlie fun!

Puff, thank goodness you are feeling better!

tsk, we will be having about the same as you for weather today, warmer, rainy and WINDY! I'm taking my car in this morning to get the computer update. They will bring me home and call when it's done, and come pick me up. Hopefully it will be done sometime today! Every time I start it up I get a message that SYNC is receiving messages yada yada yada... Don't know what al that means!

Phyl, another day for #7, Yay! Well, I think Savannah is a beautiful name, not so much Savvy. Reminds me of salve...

Clynn  LOL "It's Friday---I want a fancy coffee"
I've been busy with our bank as our accounts were compromised ---long story short I went down to branch and T/T mgr seems  there was only one card left active (when there's fraud--Regions auto cancels cards) and all purhases from the day before went to the 'wrong' account.  All is huncky-dory now  ;)
thaks for updates on Norwich Peregrine Falcon CathedraL  and Wild Heart Ranch . LOL Couch potato.  (Keebler, the Lemur Supervisor)

Bazi I copy Clynn on Lil Punkins birthday. I too enjoyed the pictures. But, nothing registered.  :(




Can hear the crows this morning. Had a nice rain last night---the weeds are up, again.
 I know Jim wants to mow the back as he didn't have time earlier.
Dinner tonight will be seafood pizza (Red Lobster recipe) green salad, a brew or wht wine and whatever.
With all this AI chat in the news--got me wanting to see 'Tron', both movies. So guess that's our entertainment for the night.

Morning - E4E, kb, tig, Puff, oldguy and all  :)

Lani - Thank you  :-*

Phyl - That is an awesome Elsa cake!  We did get some good sleep last night.  I think confining her to the birthing room at night was making her restless, so we decided to just let her roam the house with Bandit.  I did let Jeff get another good night's sleep, and I stayed in the other room, just in case.  She went in the closet a few times and the box, too.  At least, she knows they are there for her. Great cam pics! 

clynn - Yea, the paperwork from Animal Controls says her birthday is 6/13/22. I hope she knows what to do, if this is her 2nd litter. 

tsk - You be safe with that weather coming.   Did you get Lulu's DNA results back, or did I miss that?

BL - Liked the pic! :)

LisaG - Hope you & Jeff are getting enough rest & sleep.  Ok, just read that this could be Misty's 2nd litter, but in any case, I bet she will know exactly what to do when the time comes! :)   Glad you had a nice time with your former co-worker even though the food was a disappointment.

Phyl - Looks like some good warmth for you today although scattered showers are expected for you tonight. :)  Thank you for Cam pics!  Your dinner tonight sounds yummy!!

Clynn - Hope the car techs get your car's computer working correctly - and it will be great if it all happens today! :)

Tsk - Cute birthday post for Punkin  :)

We will be getting ready to head out today for a celebration of life, trip to a cemetary, and then a late lunch.  This will take us about 2hr 15 min of driving each way, so this will be a long day.  This is for an extended member of my husband's family.

Beakers have a nice day  :)

What wonderful birthday greetings for Lil Punkin.  :)

Tsk the whole mess w/ accounts was started with a fraud charge on Jim's card. The thievery has broaden to 'robo charges' just like the
robo calls that continue today.  Nice Easter greeting. Take care w/ the weather.

Lisa so glad you two got some sleep; good idea letting Misty roam and play w/Bandit. Maybe she will go to the box you have for her when
the time comes  I imagine Bandit will be there too---maybe Misty would like that.

Lani cute AM greeting is made  by  Petr Václavek of the Czech Republic. Says his  inspiration came while he was out on a walk with his kids.
Safe trip w/ Shannon and all.

Hi Eagles your gonna have some nice temps.   Cute kitty card for LilPunkin.

Please, everyone, take cover in your safe place if a warning is issued for your area - do not go to the window to look at it! Please... Stay safe, All.

Thanks to everyone for your sweet birthday wishes for my Littlest Greatniece.  :) :-* :-*

There is no particular date to save for her birthday, please.   :)   I wait some time after her birthday, on purpose, before I mention it or post pics, LOL.  There is a method to the madness.  ;) :D



Lani, you're getting all weather all ways, today! Hope you have a good day!

Puff, LOL!

Clynn, thanks for the info on E21's successful fledge/return at SWFL nest. That news made me "verklempt." Happy tears, for sure. Extra hugs and kisses for The Mighty M, M15. He's my hero!  :-*  :-*  I miss Harriet, and hope that, whatever her fate was, that she is in a better place. I will remember her many years, as I have Ozzie.  :-* :-* :-*

Lisa, I bet Misty will like having that box in the closet as a possible birthing spot, or, if not there, to move her kittens to after they are born. My money is on this being her 1st litter, tho' we'll never know,of course. But the thought that she would be having her 2nd litter by the time she was 9 months old is a sad thought for me, tho' I know it's all too possible. I'm hoping that maybe she wasn't out from the Animal Control long enough to have had 2 pregnancies already. Either way, I hope she will take on her "Mama Cat" role easily - she seems like such a sweet, pleasant and easy going sort of personality, and so I bet she will. And I can't wait to hear how Bandit reacts, too! LOL, bet he will be the "Proud Papa" type.  ;) :D  :-* :-*

Tsk, yikes on your weather. And so many others. Stay safe!

Phyl, the seafood pizza sounds good.

BL, yep, that's what I'm talking 'bout! The for-real severe weather alerts are so widespread!! I sure hope people don't dismiss them.

OG, that's a great thing the Ryan Hall and Y'all group has been doing.

E4E, sounds like a long day, for sure. So sorry for that sad news from your husband's family. Safe travels.

((Lori)), please stay safe. I hope this time you can convince your mom to take herself and her dog to a safer location if she needs to. I know you said it's problematic for her to do that with her dog, but it's worth the trouble. Meanwhile, are you starting to feel any better yet? I hope you and your father are both better. Take care.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: baziunc on March 31, 2023, 01:34:34 PM

Please remember that a tornado warning means either a tornado has already been sighted, or has been indicated by radar. If it's for your area, or moving toward your area, you should take cover immediately in your safe spot - typically in the lowest level of your home, in an interior room, away from windows, and with as many walls between you and the exterior as possible, (close your interior doors, too, if you have time). A watch means conditions are such that a type of weather could develop, and a warning means it is actively happening right now and you should take immediate action to stay safe. Stay safe, all.

The sun is shining here, 76 degrees...a beautiful day...so far... on the radar  it looks like it will be 4:00 or so before we get anything. Lori texted me, she is in her basement with Destini, she said the sky was awful looking in the Cedar Rapids area.

baz, the reason I thought this might be Misty's second litter is most first time cat Moms usually have 2 or 3 kittens. Both of the ones I have experienced had 3, both were first time Moms. I think the vet told Lisa she sees 6 kittens in the ultrasound! I just hope all are healthy little kitties!

Phyl, very interesting about the bees! Ed has a sister and a niece that raise bees in Illinois. And fancy chickens. And another niece in Georgia who raises the fancy chickens!

E4E, haven't heard anything from FORD about my car, I took it in around 7:30 this morning. It will probably be ready right when the storm hits!  ::) ::)

Lani, love the little acorn skater!  A Becorn?

The sun just quit shining, just heard a bit of thunder...

Hi girl... it's headed straight here, will be here in about 15 minutes, 2 more tornado warnings, there are several storms so it won't be over until tomorrow I think. Mom is ok, I will make sure she goes next door to the shelter here shortly.  (It's partially underground for people in her community.  Up to baseball size hail now but these storms are  moving really fast.  Warning in Tama County (more north) and Ottumwa area more south.  I am so worried about our baby eagles and the animals!  :-\ 
Unfortunately I am still sick.  I have bronchitis and I am on a different antibiotic now.  I think it's starting to work :)  Punkin and lil bro are so adorable.  I pray for her every day.  Say hi to Zippo!  Got a surprise for ya when this storm passes.  Love ya girl and everyone!  Please be safe!!! 
There is one tornado on the ground right now near Ottumwa confirmed Wapello county.  Mitchell county just issued a tornado warning also that is near Decorah.  Now there is a confirmed tornado  near Moms house... ugh!!! Hopefully this will calm down... She won't go to the shelter!  She is in the closet with Harlee and Salem. Another tornado is headed towards Iowa City now too. Oldguy and Ginger take care! time to go to the basement...

I lost power for about 8 minutes, just before the front hit here - strong winds, a little bit of hail(marble size) and non-stop thunder with non-stop warning sirens and very dark.  The storms have now passed off to the NE from me.  Cedar Rapids and North to Minn. still has many warnings in progress.  So far the only reported damage near me was at main street in Solon - about 12 miles north.
Hope every one is as lucky as me, with no damage.

Lori - I hope all of you made out ok with the storm!

Puff -  ;D ;D ;D

baz - I don't know if Bandit will the proud Papa type, more like the mean brother type.  ::)

oldguy - Thanks for the Ryan video.

clynn - Did you make out ok with the storm?  You are right, the vet said, 6 kitties  :o  LOve the heart shaped rive rocks for Iris.

Clynn - it's not turning to snow until soon to 8-9pm..
Our temp is now 35 so depends on when it drops...a little mix right now.
If you watch our radar we are also waiting for that big blue wrap around later on.
Very heavy and predicted at times to be 2 inches an hour with heavy wind.
That's why I'm worried about Nancy.

Hi Beakers !

Not gonna be specific with names...take precautions, seek shelter have food and water. Above all---don't be like us and trust that it never stirkes us.
We  have food/water and  Red Cross ER bag . But forgot to check Maggie supplies. I'm pretty quick on what to grab---it's Jim who drags his a--.
Winds have picked up and Susan just called as she's heard alerts ofr Nashville all the way tinBaton Rouge. I love my SIL :-*
Guard your pets esp if they'er PG---Preggo.

Thanks for the nests updates and news from you individual locals.
Take care
See ya on April Fool's Day.

Well, the weather here was frightful, but S. Carolina did not survive against Iowa in Dallas.  Clark lived up to her hype and became the first player in NCAA history to have consecutive games with 40 points or more.

Hearing of more small towns in Iowa with massive damage, but have not heard of any fatalities in Iowa today.  Iowa City had no damage that I have heard of yet, but every town next to us got damage (N - Solon downtown and houses on the West side of town, W - Coralville Hyw 6 on the west side of town with many damaged buildings, S - 1 mile south of me, wind took down power lines on Hyw 6 just E. of town and Hills had extensive damage to homes and apartments).  https://www.thegazette.com/weather/damage-widespread-in-eastern-iowa-as-tornadoes-and-strong-storms-rumbled-through-the-area/

I’m back after a very busy week.

I hope everyone is staying safe through the nasty weather.

I have two large, tall plastic storage boxes for my two girl cats. They both seem to not stay in the squat position and have a tendency to spray a bit. I don’t know where these girls learned such bad bathroom manners.  I just scoop out the poop and then stir the litter in the box so that any area with urine is distributed evenly. I scoop the bins every morning.  Over time the color of the litter will change from whitei-ish to yellow from the urine, as long as the cat’s urine is normal. I usually change it every 3 to 4 weeks.  It just depends when you notice that it becomes more difficult to stir it to a consistent color.



Pretty litter suggests that there is about 3” of litter in the box.  For my size bins, a 6 pound bag is the right amount for 1 bin.  They offer a subscription service, and those bags are 6 pounds. You can also find it at some Walmarts or Walmart online, and those bags are 8 pounds.

90,000 without power here in the Twin Cities.
Whew, I'm not one of them.
Looks like a cool foot of snow out there.
All 16 of my arbors are leaning on the ground with how heavy the snow was.

The DNR cam is down...praying for them.

I just read on their fb page, the camera isn't down, it's just totally covered in snow.

I'm going to hide in the basement for awhile...

I hope all Beakers made out OK with the weather last night.  It is dark and gloomy here this morning, with thunderstorms starting around 9am.

kb - Glad to hear that you are not without power. 

Phyl - Now that song will be stuck in my head all day!  ;D  We both got sleep, Jeff a lil more than me, and no kitties yet!  Stay safe!!

Lani - Hope you had a nice day with Shannon. 

weasel - A storage bin is a great idea for a litter box!  Bandit is a large cat, and I sometimes have a hard time finding a big litter box for him. 

oldguy - That weather did look frightful.  Thank goodness you made out ok!

Lani, didn't get my car back yesterday! I called around 6:15 to get an update. Their hours say they are open until 7:00 but no one answered the phone! I will be caling them this morning! I had never heard of the River Rock Heart at Hellgate, it said someone has been doing this for a few years! Love it, and I do so hope for some ospreyletts this year... HM looks good and dry this morning, no snow to be seen. The creek sure sounds like it's running fast! I can feel your relief at seeing your Tonto Forrest sign...

PHYL   Cute good night bunny.   " Whim away..."  LOLOL

OLDGUY  Plenty of damage all over this country. :(

CLYNN  Did you ever get your car back?  I see you answered Lani.  What the heck???   Earworms  Oh NO   What a story about Nala  :o

KB   I wondered if the DNR camera was just full of snow - and you confirmed it.  Oh those poor arbors.  Lets hope you get some sun today.  Amazing your power held.  My friend in the UP is buried and her power is still on.

No bounce
Just got here because I just got up because we've been cuddling since our power went out at 2 a m. Was my first time upstairs in our bed for two weeks due to my cold.
I just opened all the east facing blinds. Temp. is at 63 inside, 25 outside at this time.
I had Camper open the cupboard below the kitchen sink before he came upstairs. Fingers crossed we get power before dark.

I'm devastated they are at least 45 years old, provide a total privacy screen from the parking lot across the street.
We might as well have had a tornado here...the other line of my arbors look just as bad..

Can't remove the ice either, it doesn't broom off..

I have no idea what I'll do now.

Lori, what bright and cheerful Spring pics this morning! Glad to hear that all is well after that nasty storm!

Decorah North, no snow there either, but very windy at both Decorah nests!

Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge - (it is known that there were eaglets in the nest... there is only a cam from a distance...)
It is with great sadness that I report the loss of our Eagle nest. The storm had just crossed the river with high intensity winds and the tree swayed briefly before it dropped out of sight.
We just returned from checking and found the tree to have sheared 2 -3 feet from the ground. We did not find eaglets. Both adults are safe.

"ear worm"  ;D  ... sweet mama Nala and kittens... All looks well in Decorah! ... "King Keebler"  ;D ... oh no, that's terrible about the Stewards nest tree/eaglets  :(

Kb, sorry about the snow. At least you have power, poor Tig and Camper are without. Hang in there.

{{{Lori and Destini}}} beautiful morning pics inspite of all you and family are going through. You're an inspiration.  :-*

Phyl, glad to see all is well at Sauces and Decorah.  :)

Lisa, I use a large bin for my cats too. I keep a regular litter box in the corner of the garage when the cats like to explore.

Oliver Case captured beautiful pics of Decorah Mom and DM2! Thank you to Oliver!  ;D

Cutest little kitty smile, clynn.  Looks completely satisfied!

And how about the red-haired kitties???!!!

Also loved the kitty sit-ups. 

Ton had to rig up a large plastic storage box for Pain-in-the-Ash.  Even took the cover and set it upright to act as a back-splash.  When I lost my Ash I tossed the whole setup due yellow stains and terrible smell.

Smell problems?  I got smell problems and ear problems.  I recently mentioned again that I have anosmia.  Caused because by a double infection of double onslaught of virus and pneumoinia 2003.

Lastest goofy problem occurred starting last year.  It's called MES Musical Ear Syndrome.  I've been to 3 doctors for tests and exams.  An ENT, and two scans, and one with counter-active hints.  It is interesting, never heard of this before from anyone.  Also, the cure is to get lucky and have it work its way away.  Mostly, its music.  Some times the furnace/sump pump.  I hear instrumental music, no singing.  Patriotic, Christmas, school/sports songs, over and over and over until another pops into my head.  I've called friends  and neighbors to come listen.  They listen - then they give me the "Yeah sure" look.  Loud humming of another toon, turning up the TV, calling to talk to anyone is the frequent remedy.  The most often thing is to make a distraction/noise to occupy my head.  It almost sounds like a defense mechanizism from being alone, no noise.  Yep started last year right along with my loss.  Quiet is a terrible noise!  Now I need a head specialist is what is next.

While I  was hogging up the channel I almost missed some new news on yesterday's weather.  Fox weather gave several messages about Iowa.  Some here have said things are settleling down. I know I and several others were checking back in forums.  One local IL warning that panned out from last night was the alarms about Belvediere.  They are calling a touchdown there, one known death.  More fatalities now in Arkansas.  Seems too, now, that weather's going to amp up east and northeast areas.

Clynn - Love that pic if Hatchery Dad on the nest...he looks like a king sitting on this throne.  :D  Aww, the pregnant mom cat!  So very sad about the Stweards nest and eaglets!   ;D ;D King Keebler!

tsk - Awww, sweet pic of Lulu!  Bandit is the mean big brother type.   ;D

tig - I hope you get your power restored soon.

kb - So sorry about your arbors.   :(

Lori - Sorry to hear about your Mom's damage and Grandma with no power, I hope all is ok with you and Dad.  The Meyer lemon Danish braid looks delicious!

Lani - Oh my goodness, those kittens are adorable!  Oliver has been posting some pics on Explore all week.  He got some great shots of Mom & DM2, and of HM & HD.  I was just telling Jeff about you and weasel using a bin.  He was like, never even thought of it!

T40 - Much appreciate all the videos!

Puff - You need a hug!  I have never heard of MES Musical Ear Syndrome, but I cannot watch a movie that has music in it before I go to bed, cause I will be singing in my head all night long.  It's pretty aggravating, so I can imagine your MES is aggravating.

You lucky tig.
I think I might have lost more than 11 arbors.
That's permanent and i might have to move...

and this is what our city does, pic below.
It doesn't enforce the snow emergency rules...so they just plow one whole side of snow to the other, 4 cars left across the street.
Oh yes i filed a complaint with pic attached to city.

5 of the 10 homes on my side have senior citizens....all older than myself.

I won't be able to keep my hired help at this rate..asked for help..nada...Andrew coming later I hope.

Puff, sometimes I swear I can smell bacon cooking! Not real often but it happens and makes me look around to see who's cooking it! And it's no one! Most of the tornado damage in Iowa was on the east side of the state where Lori and oldguy are. Several counties declared disaster by the Governor.

Lisa, I can't wait to see pictures of your kittens!

T40, thanks for the laughs! Loved the poor dog surrounded by the cat gang!

kb, might be a good idea to move, at least to somewhere with no maintenance for you to do. I wouldn't be able to do what you do... We are extremely lucky that Erin is able to help us with those things we can't do, but eventually we will need a one story home.

tig, good that you got your power back. Laundry can wait for tomorrow... ;D ;D

Lani, those Siamese kittens make me miss my Siamese...Max & Emma (Seal Point and Chocolate Point) when we first got them in 2000, and later, with Beanie (Blue Point)

Hi Beakers. So glad to have heard post-storms reports from most of the Beak Room regulars, and that they are safe and still have their families, homes, and other property, all, or mostly, intact, after the awful and devastating storms. Prayers for all affected, including especially for the thousands of people who lost much, or most, and those who lost all... family, animals, homes, property... just devastating in so many places, in so many states.

TIG   So sorry you are without power.  63 is chilly.  Reading on - power back!!

KB   So sorry to hear about those arbors - irreplaceable.  That is terrible - the end of your driveway.  :P

LORI  Love the bunny with the head wreath and the hatching kitties  LOL  Grandma is in a tough spot and am sure you feel helpless.  Can she be brought somewhere warm?.  Wait, you said she could not be moved  :(   Warm blankets and socks and mittens?

CLYNN  I would give those service people H---!  Like you don't need your car for 3 days??   What a shame at Stewards of the Mississippi!!

T40   Cats with unusual markings.  Saw a couple "Zorro's" in there  ;D   Cat doing crunches  LOL   Blue angels always cool.  Would like to be in one of the boats  ;)  Cool birdfeeder   Poor little owl.

PUFF   Hope it you aren't hearing any heavy metal music  LOL  How irritating that must be.   One death and now 40 injured in the Belvadire roof cave-in

Was able to help set up church for Palm Sunday .  Next is a bit on Thurs and Sat the big Easter set up.  There's always stuff to do that doesn't involve bending, lifting or walking long distances.  ;D ;D

{{Kb}} what a rough time this year fhas been or you. Clynn beat me to the statment: Indeed might be time for you to move a warmer more stable climate. 

Lisa The all clear for tornado warning was sounded at 12N. However those high winds remain. Guess March is going out like a lion. The slop in back drained off so Jim's finishing uyop mowing as I 'speak'. Gave him a hardy breakfast. ;) Thks for a Misty Report---I think she needs to go on a roller coaster w/ Bandit.  :o  :-[  Waiting with bated breath for those new borne photos.

Tig  glad to hear you folks are doing 'good' for the weather;  Hurrah you got electricty!

Hi Lori adorable critters this AM;  Cadbury coffee bomb  ;)
Glad to hear your house is 'ok' and so is your mom; prayers you can help your G.ma w/ generatior situation.

Clynn Wild Heart Ranch lemurs remind me of  King Julian  in 'Madagascar' movies ; so sad about nest at Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge. So, there are eaglest in the nest and that survived?  ???

T40 power of lion's roat  :)  imagine hearing that in the dead of night on the  African Savanha :o; gangsta cats, LOL;  You’re Using Too Much Toilet Paper ! - RxCKSTxR  what a riot! Even Jim loved it.;  ditto Blue Angels !  He love this; cool window feeder

Lori, is Grandma taken care of? You have had some bad weather!

Phyl, good information on April Fool's Day, it's funny how some things get started! Years ago a gal at work had her 4 wisdom teeth pulled and on her first day back to work a 'friend' called her, pretending to be the receptionist at the oral surgeon's office. She told her that they were filing her x-rays and found that they had pulled the wrong 4 teeth and that they needed to implant them back and pull the correct ones. She about wet her pants, then she recognized the voice (because the girl on the phone couldn't keep from laughing). April Fool's! She swore she would get even, I wonder if she ever did...  ;D Stoned cat....must be that Meowijuana...  The Stewards of the Upper Mississipi eagle's nest, their chat was pretty sure there were 2 eaglets, just a week ir two old. They searched the area after the nest fell and couldn't find any eaglets, so assuming they didn't survive...

So sorry to learn about all the terrible wind & storms in MN, IA & other places that occurred yesterday.  Hope Beakers stayed safe.

Hi Weasel - Nice to see you!

Lani - Hope you enjoyed a nice day out with Shannon yesterday. :)

Kb - Your pics posted this morning of all that snow "Yikes"  :o   So sorry for your Arbors - such a sad loss.  :( :o

Clynn - Unbelievable how that place didn't even call you about your car and then you were left with calling them and got no answer.  I just read that you got your car back and its all good!!   
Gorgeous siamese kittys! :)

T40 - Thanks for all the great links!

Puff - Sorry to hear about MES - I had not heard of it before.

Tig - Yaaay - glad your power got restored!  Happy that Camper's son came over and did the shoveling. :)

Baz - Cute Zippo!! ;D

Phyl - Thanks for link;  April Fools Day!  Enjoy your dinner tonight - sure sounds delicious!! :)  Love your 'caturday' good evening pic.

Hi Tsk, Oldguy, BL, LisaG, Lori  :)

I just thought I would mention that Star is having serious health issues and I don't know if she will improve, but we are trying!   To make a long story short, she is having a tough time walking due to the arthritis in her back, she has been taking gabapentin for that.  She is peeing & pooing on the carpet & floors now.  This morning it took me an hour to clean the messy floors.   I had her at the Vet on Thursday for X-rays and since we were gone yesterday (I had my son come and stay the day with her).   I took her back to the Vet this morning and now we are doing Amoxicillin for 10 days, they took a complete blood panel, they are doing a urine analysis and they gave her an IV this morning for dehydration, and I have to sprinkle a packet of nutritional/vitamin stuff on her food once a day.   Hopefully she pulls through this and we can extend her life for a while.  I would not feel right if I didn't do everything I can to help her.   Just asking for some prayers & good thoughts sent our way.  Thanks so much everyone.

Everyone have a good evening.  :)


Thank you for your sweet condolences for my husband's side of the family's loss.

E4E - thoughts of love and sweet stokes for Star.  They do look to us for help.  She loves you and trusts you. Do the best for her.  Many out here are thinking of you both.  I think of Momo, Bob, Ashley - all we can do is give them help and love.  So sorry.

This is me set up. I keep two boxes side by side.  I replace them every year or so.

Eagles,  I’m so sorry about Star. Earlier this year one of my cats was clearing suffering, not moving well, decline of appetite and struggling to jump up the cat tree and on the bed. The vet did x-rays and found arthritis in her lumbar area.  She said there was a new drug designed just for cats with arthritis.  They recommended the shot once a month, but for my girl we’ve been on about a 7 or 8 week regime.  She is acting about 1/2 her 13 1/2 years.  It’s been amazing

Maybe there is something like that for dogs that would help Star.

Thanks, BL

Yuppers...and the airport measurements are for some reason?...generally lower than where I live...don't know why...

I also didn't live here during the number 1 and 2 spots.....I lived in LA at the time..

So, in my lifetime of living here, all but app. 20 years, this is the most snow evah!

Worse, and not captured in this graph, is all the ice/rain we've had with it...that's the worst part actually.

More snow coming this morning and a titch next week.....who knows?

Tsk yes kitty in sombrero to go with enchiladas.

Puff Well you know 'germs' don't live long in the air. Some a few days other's weeks. But,  if this were me--I'd just buy another book and toss the one I  had on the airline. You know, bag it and seal ---throw it out. Then  you know  you're safe.

Lani, sweet good night Teddies... Perfect card game pic for oldguy!

oldguy, and how was the card game? And do you still cook bacon and potatoes at the first of the month? Haven't heard you mention it for a while...

E4E, prayers for Star, I know how important she is to you...can you ask your vet if you can try the meds weasel's cat is getting? Our critters get a lot of the same ailments we humans get as we live in the Senior years, you just never know what will help...because they can't tell you what hurts...

Puff, I imagine you had to sanitize everything that was in your seat on the plane! At least it wasn't covid...

tsk, do you feel like you are getting back to normal bit by bit?  Hope so!

kb, this too shall pass.... Spring is on the way...

Phyl, sunrise in Decorah... Mother Goose and eggs and Audi with #7. All is well...  Love the sunflower umbrella! 38 here now, high 70 today! Windy SW 20-30 MPH. Ha, we both looked up the same thing on BL's post. And we both got the Augusta golf course. Somehow I don't think we got it right... ::) ::) Those Decorah eggs look perfect!  Can't wait!

GOOD PALM SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

30 and heading to 59 - Sunny  :)

BL  That is quite a graph re Msp snow fall rank  :o

WEASEL   Thanks.  I like that better than the shield idea.

LANI   I remember that Alley Cat song  ;) ;) 

OLDGUY  Lani's right - We haven't had a cards report lately  ???

LISA  Your tulips are brightening my computer screen this AM  :)

CLYNN   Think I'm about 75% back.   Walking/standing endurance not where I would like it to be due to my entire rib cage/lumbar/abdominal and paraspinous muscles "pain"     See doc on Apr 14th ( 6 weeks) and I may ask for PT  We shall see.   Such care they need for a blind RTH.. :'(

Puff, I imagine you had to sanitize everything that was in your seat on the plane! At least it wasn't covid...

Boy, that really was a trip clynn.  Add in with the time element was full capacity, many band members with lots of instruments and "stuff".  At least the crowd tired and started dozing.

You know, a hangover freebie since covid is they hand out a single sealed wipe when you board so you can kill all those bad bugs.  Tee Hee   Plus I did have a left over mask at the bottom of my tote, and in my coat pocket I carry a pair of those cheapy $1 gloves.  And, the guy at the window side also had a blue paper mask - but he kept facing the window.  We did try to beat the bugs!  Wonder how window guy made out?   

Not even a napkin - he could have asked for some napkins.  And, he was a teacher/parent chaparone; not a good example.

Anyway - both nostrils functioning.

Things could be far worse . . .Poor Tenn and S.Car.  Yes, we're once again given a message, rules of the game.  Through all of these reminders He is still looking after his children.

I have good news;  Star seems to be a little better this morning.  She is walking sturdier and had more of an appetite for her breakfast.  :)

Phyl - Star & I thank you!  Thanks for all the great Cam pics and info!

Tig - Thank you so much!

Tsk - You are right, so hard to see our pets age (especially it seems to have come on quickly).   Prayers that your discomfort improves a little bit each day.

LisaG - The time is getting nearer for Misty's happy event! :)   Thank you for well wishes for Star  :)

Puff - Yes, Star is getting lots of extra love & attention  :)

BL - The MSP snowfall graph tells the story - yikes.

Weasel - What is the name of the med that your kitty was taking?  My dog has seen 3 different Drs at this VCA, and they all recommend the liquid gabapentin for her arthritic pain.

Lani - Thank you so much for the well wishes for my little Star.

Oldguy - Hope you had a good night at cards!

Kb - Wishing all that heavy snow would really start disappearing.    Oh no, the DNR nest?! :'(

Clynn - Thank you for well wishes and I did ask Weasel if she would tell me what med her kitty took.   Did your Car's computer get fixed and working properly now?

Beakers have a nice Sunday  :)

clynn - Aww, thanks for posting my pic here in the Beak.  :-*  I got a lil more rest than Jeff.  He is getting a sinus infection, and is all stuffed up, so he didn't too much sleep. ((Helen)) Yikes that is scary for R&R's eggs!

Say hello to Annabelle! She is a Rainbow-Billed Toucan, a permanent resident of our sanctuary. Stay tune, and enjoy her beautiful colors and personality.

NEW: Sloth TV Playground Camera!
Stay tuned for our new camera, where you can see some of the animals from our rescue center as they go through their rehabilitation journey. You can even catch the various wild birds that visit our ranch constantly!

Catch Viscerion, the crocodile, as he takes the sun in his pool daily. Also, be on the look for Randy and Rihanna while they exercise and recover during their rehabilitation process.

Ziggy, a 3F Sloth: he is doing fine and gaining weight; he will be transferred to the Release Site soon.

Sloth Pre-School Updates:

Coco, and her friend Geo, 2F Sloths: They are doing great. Always together.

Landon, 2F Sloth: When eating, it seems the food is not getting stuck anymore. He is gaining weight, and the  vets are happy with his progress.

Pax & Liana, 2F Sloths: They are doing well and have no more ulcers.

Roo, 2F Sloth: Doing well and growing fast!

Robin, 3F Sloth: He is doing fine. He’s still receiving physical therapy regularly. Look for his new update on our social media. You can support him donating in his CUDDLY campaign.

In Loving Memory - We are sad these babies did not make it due to different issues.

Katira, 2F Sloth: Sadly, before we could announce her, she passed away due to a malformation incompatible with wildlife.

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

Hi Beakers!  :)

((E4E, Kris, Star)) Glad to hear Star seems a bit better today.

Sad news about the MNDNR Eagle nest. Poor eaglet. RIP.

Lisa, I hope ((Jeff)) starts feeling better!

Tsk, wow, that's great that you're 75% back already!! But, ugh, on still having so much pain! I hope that part gets better and better, and soon!

Clynn, glad you got your car back! That's crazy that you had to do that leg work to track it down. Wish I could be on the line whenever you or Ed have your say with the Service Dept Mgr.! What's wrong with people?!?

Lani, has the weather put a crimp in Mike's travel to plants? Maybe it has, and has given him a bit of a rest from that? LOLOL on Puma's whiffing reaction!

Puff, if it were me, I would just wipe down the book, and put it on the bookshelf without further worry. Glad you're cold is better.

Lori, hope you start feeling better. Does your grandmother have her power, and heat, back yet?

Tig, the hot salmon salad and cheese on open face English muffin sounds yum. I baked a whole side of wild Alaska salmon yesterday. It was good with carrots and spinach.

Phyl, oh gawd... I would love a homemade milkshake!

kb, oh no, the MN DNR nest is gone...so very sad. The same thing that happened to the old Trio nest...

E4E, thanks for letting us know little Star is feeling better today. We all feel for each other and our pets... What a great family we all have here... I haven't tried everything on my car, but will assume it's fine!

baz, I just think that there are a lot of people working these days who just don't understand customer service (speaking of the car dealership). When I got there, the guy from Quick Lane couldn't help me enough, he even told me to wait inside while they brought my car around because it was cold and windy. Of course, he was more our age... One has to treasure those people when we can!  LOLOL, the Murder of Crows... When we cook salmon on the grill I season it with rosemary and garlic seasoning, we have fresh asparagus and a baked potato or baked sweet potato, it's one of our faforite meals!

Lani, thanks for the Alby video, love how they communicate! Clackity clack clack... The little one is looking so good, I hope they visit each other when the parents are gone... I am betting they put some kind of critter guard on the crane at SF Bay, to keep the raccoons away!

Lisa, I watched the video of the MN DNR nest falling...Nancy looked like she sensed something wasn't right.  So very sad. They said it was too late to have another clutch, I wish it wasn't. But to build a nest first probably makes it not possible. Seems like the hatch was earlier this year. Is Misty pacing? Or has she settled down since you let her have free range? I bet Bandit won't be a mean big brother!

tsk, you are amazing! 75% is good!

Friends of Minnesota Nongame Eagle Cam - Thomas Demma 
What Happened.
The simple answer is the tree failed. As you all know the nest was situated about 80 feet up in a Cottonwood tree. A few years back the DNR had an arborist inspect the tree and they determined it was dead. I’ve always had a bit of a questioning attitude regarding that assessment since it was capable of producing enough foliage to make getting a clear photo challenging. Whether it was dead or dying is irrelevant at this point as it was certainly compromised.
The nest was situated in the crotch of three branches. The smallest of which was what I referred to as the ‘Branching-Branch’ in my Herm Reports. This branch was an integral support and that is the branch that failed. The weight was simply more than this branch could support and it broke free taking the nest down.
What We Found.
When I arrived, Randy Wendel was just getting out of his truck and we walked back to the site. The nest was upside down with scattered twigs and branches surrounding it. We obviously had no idea where E was but the assumption was since he was in the bowl, that’s probably where we’d find him. We carefully started clearing away the debris but still no E.
The main section of the nest -the section with the bowl- was incredibly heavy but we were able to pry it up little by little and eventually flip it over. We carefully started removing what was in the main section and found everything we’ve all seen come in the nest for the last few days. Multiple fish, Rabbit, Squirrel and even a couple Turtles. We went so far as to completely clean the bowl but no E. We didn’t understand how we were able to locate multiple items on the surface of the nest but not E who was in the bowl.
Lori and several DNR officials had shown up by this time and the entire team started the search. We checked the grounds, the fenced in area and even the trees above thinking perhaps E was thrown from the nest and landed on something. Nothing.
Once of the conservation officers saw something suspect laying about ten feet from the main bowl section which was quickly identified as E. We’ll never know why everything else in the bowl section ended up under it and E was ten feet away.
Were Do We Go From Here
This page will survive of that I’m sure. I have a long history with this nest and it’s inhabitants. I’ve seen tragedy and triumph throughout the years. I’ve met many wonderful people, learned a great deal and sharpened my photography skill immensely all because of this nest. I visit and photograph many locations during the season but this one is and will forever be home to me.
I want to personally thank each and every single one of you that contributes to this page. It could be a simple ‘Like” on a photo, a video clip, some educational content or a comment in a post. YOU all make this page what it is.
Many, many years ago I’d lost a dog to old age. I have a tendency to internalize things, because, you know, that’s what men do. She pulled me aside at a dog show and told me; “It’s OK to cry for dogs you know.” Sage advice that I’m finding is true for birds.
Now. Let’s get down to the business of rebuilding you two. If you think you can hide from Bonnie and I think again. We WILL find you.

Clynn - I agree, Nancy looked she knew something wasn’t right.  Thanks for the Thomas Demma post.
Misty has settled down since we let her roam around at night.

Baz - Thanks 😊

Tsk - DVR all fixed and working?

It wasn't the tree.

Yes a part of the branch broke

It was the weather. Even the local tv station said it.

Hate to have to tell the truth.

But some of us who live here are experienced with this know better...

Many of us know this.

LisaG - Hope Jeff feels better soon from the sinus infection.  Please make sure you guys are getting enough rest & sleep. :)

Kb - I am sad about the DNR nest  :( :'(

Lani - Star was able to walk much better today than yesterday.  Yesterday, she kept shaking and today she was not doing that!   Thanks for updates and love Annabelle's pic!

Tsk - Yes, as you said, we hope these efforts last for a while (in extending Star's quality of life).  In all consciousness, I need to know that I have done everything for Star, so that my conscious is clear when the time comes.

Hi Tig & Puff  :)

Hi Phyl & Lori  :)

Baz - Thank you so much and yes, Star is better today. :)

Clynn - Thank you for the DNR report.  :'(

Things are changing over here;   Believe me, I am so happy Star is doing better today, BUT she is constantly peeing everywhere, so I am having to change things up over here!  I can't let her have free rein 24/7 in the house like she used to.  Starting to figure out a schedule of sorts to take her outside for a while and when she comes in, she will be watched over as she has a meal,  or a little snack, and then will be put into her kennel (which is large enough that she can stand up and turn around in comfortably).  She will be taken out frequently tho!  The vet dr said that with her age, she is losing control with her bladder (but we made sure she does not have kidney stones).  She is resting comfortably now - hopefully for the night.  Thank you all for your kind thoughts & well wishes, but I won't keep dwelling and talking about her and our situation.  Everybody has their own things doing on and I will be careful not to overdo talking about us.

Everyone have a peaceful evening.  :)

Tig, sorry for Iowa's loss.

Baz, Mike spent three days this past week in Gila Bend. He'll be traveling to Ohio mid-April for a week. Yummy salmon, we have it every Sunday! I've seen a gathering of crows twice here. It's really something to watch.

Clynn, thanks for Thomas Demma's article. This tragedy has been so hard on so many. I'm sorry.  :'(

{{{Hugs Eagles}}} I'm happy for you both that Star is feeling better. Sweet girl is having a difficult time, and this is especially hard for you. Please feel comfortable to share your concerns any time, you could never overdo anything. This is a hard time and we're here for you. Sending you both prayers. Sleep well.

Good night!

Bluebird hatchlings  for the 2023 Nesting Season !

3-25-23
Looks like we have 3 or 4 10 day old baby bluebirds. Their parents caught us off watch. We've been so use to no nesting activity. Just didn't pay attention.

 Well, now we are.
And are excited and hopeful beyond words! Tearfully happy ...

This is new pair could be the off spring of CR-47 (Dad) and CR-44(Mom). Not sure what to call this new pair. Maybe 'New Dad2023' and 'New Mom 2023".

Phyl - This Thursday will be two weeks since vet visit, and he said that day Misty could be due that day, or within two weeks. Thanks for the well wishes for Jeff.  Great Flyway pics this morning.  Aww, the baby BB's!

Lani - Safe travels for Mike in mid-April.  Is he getting around better now, since his injections?

clynn - Your pic made me smile.  :-*  What a nice collage for E8.

Cloudy day.  45 heading to 57.

BAZI   LOL  cartoon.

LANI   Hope it warms up in Ohio for Mike's trip  LOL

CLYNN  Thought Thomas Demma had a wonderful comment.  Will miss him.

PHYL   YAY  the first BB hatch of the new season  ;D  So fragile.

Morning everyone!

Weasel - Thank you for the link of the medication.

Baz - Thank you so much.

Clynn - Hopefully when you try out all the things in your car, that all is fine!  Like your morning gif!  Nice pic out at Dunrovin.  Awe, those sweet pics at MN DNR - sad :'( :'(

Phyl - I guess I neglected to mention in the Beak, but I have tried diapers on Star, but they aren't working for her.  I had ordered & received two different sizes (Extra small & Small), but she is not destined to wear them, no matter how tight I tried to tape them,  they would slide off her rear end and she fought it.  :(   Those two sizes should have fit her size 10" waist, but there was no way. ::)
Thank you for the info though.
Great Cam pics - thank you!   Love the baby Bluebird hatchlings - so precious! :-*

Kb - Have a nice walk with Ollie! ;D

LisaG - Thank you so much  :)

Tsk - I am pretty sure they checked for bladder infection, but I will ask for a confirmation on that.  The Vet Dr who saw Star on Sat., sent me a text yesterday asking how Star is (yes, on Sunday!).    I believe they have tested her for nearly everything.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes for Star! :-*  Star & I thank all of you! :)

Beakers have a nice Monday  :)

some bounce
Still coughing but slightly better each day. Yes KB, on the way to the Y I noticed the same re: branches. And... I found we had lost a 6 foot branch from our spruce ... luckily it just missed hitting the dining room windows.
E4E - years ago one of our pups had a back injury which necessitated crate rest for a couple weeks. The medication made her drink water (and pee). We just used old towels in the kennel. When she started feeling better we would put the undies/pads on her as soon as she left the kennel each day. She soon put 2 and 2 together and knew to walk to where we had washed/dried the panties and would beg to put them on, so she could stay out of the kennel. What we used though, years ago when products for dogs were not manufactured, were sanitary napkins and ....my Mom had a couple pair of extremely stretchy panties that looked like they would fit a doll, but actually fit an adult woman. She cut a hole for puppie's tail and voila! LOL
This link gives detailed sizing for XXS and had suspenders to keep them on.

Phyl, thanks for nests updates and beautiful sunrise pics.... awww sweet Bluebird babies  :-*

Clynn, Mike's back/his ability to walk is as best as it can get. He manages his pain well without having to get another shot.... it's snowing at Dunrovin. I pray Harriet and Swoop have a successful season.

EAGLES  I remember in "cats past"  we didn't realize it at the time as we both worked, but one cat had been peeing all over the house.  We walked in one day and house smelled like urine..      She had a bladder infection!  When she passed which wasn't long after that all carpeting had to be pulled and floors sanded  sigh!

KB   "Comforting" to know you are not the only one who lost vegetation and $$$$

LANI  So glad Mike is traveling to Ohio with buddies!!  That Tasha is one sweet bear.  :)

TIG  Lots of good and creative info  ;) ;)

Lani, love the videos of Tasha, especially the one of her playing with her feet! I wish people who think bears are dangerous could see these videos...so sweet. She looks kind of lonely in the last one!

tsk, what is more Spring than daffodils! Mom said here have been blooming and are about done.

Wildlife Vet Care - When the wind split open a tree with this barred owl nest in it, these babies ended up on the ground in the freezing cold. They survived long enough to be rescued and while they were warming up, their nest was replaced with a nest box. We were concerned how long it would be safe to leave these tiny owlets out in the cold while waiting to see if the parents would return, but didn't need to wait too long. This parent returned before dark. Everyone's quick actions resulted in a successful renesting!!!

CLYNN  I have the buds on my daffodils and they will open once we get a sunny day.  Not to add insult to injury for KB but we had our spring clean-up done on the lawn early this AM.  This includes all leaf removal and edging.  So after lunch I got out my gardening seat, gloves, clippers and refuse bag and cut down my3 roses and broke off about 70 dead stalks on my huge false indigo that sits in the back corner of my yard.  I behaved my self ( no bending or lifting) and got 30 min of gardening done.  Sure felt good and productive.  ;) ;)    How lucky for those little barred owls!!

LOL....you betcha!.you did ;)....I tried to remove some snow off my lower deck today...not much..a few paths for Ollie is all and my shoulder and hands might never be the same...reminds me of how heavy that snow/ice was on the DNR nest...I could only move it inches.
Even with warmer temps melting snow on the grass, not completely gone of course, but the piles and snow on my deck etc. may be here till June...no spring for us....

Near sundown, on a day in early spring,
A sudden radiance in a shadowed street.
Soft, breathing trees — the airy spheres of foliage
Take on a tender valedictory light.
I look a long time as the dark comes on –
One of those moments when life seems complete.
Even in the dusk I feel the afterglow.
A single bird, a mockingbird, takes flight.

Hello Beakers

(https://fundraiseralley.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/04-03-choc-mousse-1.jpg)

It has finally been revealed - many national days were invented by bored calendar enthusiasts
 https://nationaldaycalendar.com/category/national-day/

It was somewhat busy weekend at the Garden Center - lots of people getting supplies for yard work.  Also many people getting stuff to make repairs from the Friday storms.  The tarp section emptied and generators were hit hard - we did have more stock of generators in the warehouse that were brought to the floor the next morning.  More tarps were delivered my Sunday morning.  The store is missing a cart corral from the parking lot - was not found.  The city lost the roof on a maintaince building near the corner of Hyw 6 and Hyw 1 just north of the airport.  NWS reports that Johnson Co had 2 tornadoes.  Both EF2 in size - the one in Coralville was from the same storm cell of the EF4 that hit near Martinsburg, Keota and Wellman.
As of Yesterday, there were 11 injured state wide with no deaths.
How not to Chase a Violent Iowa Tornado. March 31, 2023   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVznrYmS6G8

When bacon prices went through the roof, I stopped doing my weekly making of bacon - I used to buy bacon on sale at $2.50/pound - now regular price is $7.50 and on sale at $5 - I still do baked potatoes.

Cards were good Sat. night - won 2 out of 2

Lani - When Mike goes to Ohio in mid April, will he be driving himself?  I know you will worry no matter his mode of travel. I will wish him safe travels when the time comes.  :) {Lani}  Ok, I just read what you said to Tsk about Mike's trip to Ohio and that he will be traveling with a couple of other employees - that is good!  Thank you for your sweet note.  :-*

Tsk - The Vet Dr reports that Star's kidney values, pancreatic values and electrolites were in the normal range.   Wow, Tsk, you were sure busy today in your yard - that is wonderful to have gotten all of that accomplished! 

Kb - Sad about all the busted up trees and branches in your area. 

Tig - Thank you so much for the link and all the good information.  I appreciate your kind thoughtfulness so much.  I will see how it goes over here; trying to work with her and try some different things.   I am saving the link!

Lani - Like the Bearstudy info of Tasha and the cute gold finch! :)

Clynn - Thank you for Sue Bruhling and Sasse Photo - what a perfectly amazing photo!  Wonderful story of the Wildlife Vet Care rescuing the tiny owlets. :-*

LisaG - I agree with what you said to Tig; that it seems a cough always lingers after we are sick!  That is so true!

Phyl - Thank you for your kindness.  Like your good evening gif/post.

OLDGUY  That chocolate mousse looks great!  Nice of the storm chaser to give that "lesson learned" comment.  Good news - card game wins  Bad news - $$$bacon. :o     Good Santi piece.  Never had persimmon.

We had a wind waggling fiberglass 80 ft bucket truck boom at the time. Solid.

I popped it all the way up once the wind allowed.

We have a Pip!!
April 3, 2023
Pip pip hooray! Our eagle-eyed volunteers spotted a little starring on one of the eggs at around 6:53 this evening. Is it on the blunt side of the egg? Check! Are we on hatch watch? Check! And does the egg appear to jump or rock a little bit? It does. It has been eleven years since we watched eaglets hatch in this nest, but DH1 is on its way!
April 3, 2024: Pip in Decorah!

Look for rocking at about 19 seconds: a quick but definite change in the egg's position.

Good Morning Beakers!

47 now, high 73 today. Partly sunny, rainy, windy chance of storms, tornadoes, large hail... we shall see...

Phyl, Spring here seems to be coming in like a lion this year! Yay, 3 eggs at GSB, Savannah is like 'where did these come from?' Mother Goose looks comfortable with her 6 and #7 is as snug as a bug! HM is keeping her soon to be chick warm and cozy!

Lani, I am so glad Mike doesn't have to drive to Ohio, and good company makes the drive so much better! That's why I like to listed to audio books when I go to Mom's by myself. It's like someone is in the car reading to me...  ;D  I can't wait to get out in the yard and do things!  While I am at Mom's I am sure we will go to Hocking Green Thumb Greenhouse near Mt. Carmel. It's out in the country and always has loads of wonderful plants! I will get Mom a nice flowering plant for her front deck, an early Mother's Day present!  The King's Coronation!  LOLOL!

oldguy, a PIP?  Sunday evening?  How did we miss that? Thanks for the news!! Love the Walter Santi and Maru, of course!

BL, I had to look up the 1998 Ice Storm! How devastating!  Here is picture I ran across that just looks so out of place with all the downed trees and power lines... This year is the 25th Anniversary of that storm... The small picture is two inches (50 mm) of ice on a twig, may be similar to your pine needle?

kb, very clever picture of the run over snowman!

tsk, Mom's house has a 3 Season room out back through the sliding doors. The house had a small slab when they bought the house in 1970, later they got a bigger slab poured and put a roof over it, and even later they had it made into a 3 Season room. Dad started calling it the Ca-Ching Room because they kept spending more and more $$$ on it. To this day it's the Ca-Ching. That's what we call it. A good place to sit and read a book with a cup of tea...

Norwich Peregrines - Kim Skipper  -  Having a well deserved rest 😊 Well done Poppy on egg no 3 🥚🥚🥚❤

DECORAH EAGLE Chatters est. in 2011 - Kathy Erickson - World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park Missouri
Brace your hearts! Bald Eagle 23-126 is the first nestling to arrive at our hospital this year and the first eaglet we have received in over 8 years. This little eaglet is between 1-2 weeks old and only weighs 350g. They arrived at our hospital on 4/1 after their nest tree was blown down in the storm and high winds that recently came through.

CLYNN  Would love to go with to the nursery.  I'm really dangerous at nurseries  LOL   Wonderful find on those ice storm pics.  WOW
I love my porch room and am out there all the time in season.  I will get help getting it all cleaned up for this year tho.  I usually wash all the inside windows, furniture, my butterfly etagere, wipe the brick knee walls down and lastly vacuum.  I can do it an about 3 hours - Not this year tho  LOL    We've already introduced Lulu to her viewing table  ;D and she's chatted up a few birds on the suet already  LOL   World Bird Sanctuary - Hope the little guy can eventually be released or they could find a nest for it to be raised.

LORI  Good nest clips  :)

KAREN   YAY  You are here - WELCOME BACK  ;D  AND you are going home - WOW  Good progress.  Hope you will have some help at home to start with.

Clynn, Mike is flying to Ohio. While there he will rent a car as he always does, I'm glad he's not driving while there. KC will do the driving. Hocking Green Thumb Greenhouse sounds like a fantastic plant nursery! What fun for you and your mom. I hope the weather is perfect while you're there.  ;D.  LOL! The Ca-Ching Room  ;D ... awww sweet Eaglet  :-*

Welcome Karen!!! It's great to see you. Clynn's been a great friend and keeping us updated on your progress....  :-* Great news about you going home. I hope you'll have help when you return.  ;D

Eagles, Mike is flying to Ohio. He always rents a car wherever he goes, I'm glad KC, his plant manager will be with him. And he'll do the driving. Prayers for Star  :-*

Tsk, glad to read you're going to get help with your Ca-Ching room... Lulu will have new places to explore.

From the Lino Lakes Police Department:
Lino Lakes is straight north of our DNR Nest...maybe 15 miles north?

I recognize this woman from the Raptor Center. They often travel quite a distance to help recover injured eagles..The Raptor Center is also in St. Paul..Falcon Heights specifically.

LINO LAKES POLICE DEPT:
The Eagle has [crash] landed... While locked together in flight, two bald eagles spiraled to the ground in our city yesterday evening, crashing on an asphalt lot. Why they were locked together is open to debate and we won't get into that here. Despite the crash, one of the eagles was able to fly away (either victorious, or lonely, depending on which side of the debate you settle on). The other, unfortunately, sustained an apparent wing injury.
Thanks to quick help from the MN DNR, and their partnership with the University of Minnesota's Gabbert Raptor Center, the injured eagle was carefully captured by volunteers and taken for treatment.

Lots of severe weather in the forecasts again for today, tonight, and tomorrow, for parts of the south and the midwest - including upper and lower areas of the midwest - many of the same places that were hit so hard a few days ago by severe storms.

Please, everyone in the areas of those forecasts, stay alert, and do what you should to stay aware of sudden weather changes, and to stay safe.  Prayers for All affected by the severe storms.

They warned people to get out early and vote today cuz of big rain this afternoon which came through the last 15 min of Bible study.  "Small meatball" size hail littering the grass.  Will check my car tomorrow for dings.  ::)   Quiet now but more rain on the way.

Tsk - Lulu will love her viewing table!! ;D  Hope you get help with getting your porch room ready for the season! 8)   I hope your car was spared any damage from the hail that took place.

Kb - Wow, that poor eagle is so lucky to get some good help - thanks so much for the story. :)  Great picture too!    Kb, thanks for photos of the MN nest before & after although it is so very sad to see the nest gone.

Hi Baz! :)

LisaG - Today, Star is walking pretty good and still has an appetite.  Thank you  :)

Tig - The pip at the H nest is so exciting! ;D

Phyl - I am not surprised that Dan is getting cabin fever - our local news keeps showing the snow levels and have said that the area is 122% above normal!  They have not had this much snow since 1950 or something like that!

Oldguy - Thank you for links & info.   I sure hope that the potential storm doesn't hit Decorah too badly 'fingers crossed'!

Clynn - If tomorrow is Bella day - have fun & enjoy!! :)

Hi Puff, Lori, BL  :)

Beakers have a good night  :)

LISA   Actually Tim looked at the hood and there are multiple dings ( he calls them dents which they are not  )  I could not see them but you can feel them.  We have a place near here that does nothing but pop out the dings from hail damage.  Personally I'd just leave it alone.  ::) ::)

PHYL  Looks like some Peeps on that wreath  ;) ;)   So Dan must have gotten pretty snowed in as well?

OLDGUY   Cats are pretty darn smart  - finding the camera ;)   Piece on the barred owls good esp their various calls  :o

I worked with her Phyl....have you seen her somewhere else?..or just remind you of someone.

She reminds me of the lady that works at SOAR---she worked with  Decorah after his 'mishap' and I think is still his handler---what is her name?!  Gosh! 
So dedicated---as are all who work in animal rehab/release.

Maybe you are thinking of Kay Neumann?...SOAR is in Iowa....my pic earlier was North of St. Paul and lady from the Raptor Center.

Yes, Kay is who I'm thinking of...I  thought everyone here would automatically know that SOAR is located in Iowa---wasn't necessary for me to say.  And, I do know that in your post you were speaking of N. St. Paul, MN.     I'm not a complete idiot. LOL  ;D

Kb, I hope the injured Lino Lakes eagle will be able to be healed and released.

Tsk, Dewey likes to get under the bed, and like Lulu, he'll get half his body under. I usually see the tail end.I hope your car is okay.

Hi Baz

Oldguy, Great welcome for Karen! enjoyed the owl video by Lesley, especially hearing the sounds... glad to see Decorah cams back up. Looks very windy... cats are pretty smart to find the camera.

Eagles, glad to read Star is doing a bit better.  :-*

Lori, great photos of the tornado. WOW! that size hail could do a lot of damage. Take care.

SED Karen, Phyl  :)

Good night!

Today 82F  Partly sunny. And, tonight 50F with thunder storms.

I was soooo  tired last night.  :(

Lori thanks for the photos---Wow!; duck for  cover Iowans

Eagles I keep trying to get Dan to move out here. But, nooooooooooooo. Probably happier  in  Cali any way.

Tsk a good insurance agent---which I was---would suggest to let the 'dents---dings' be and see if the hot summer sun pops them out.

Lani so luv and enjoy your desert sunset from last night

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS

67 degrees heading to 71  Thunderstorms moving in.  We had big thunderstorms last night around 10 PM

LORI   Pretty dramatic storm pics .  Hope all are OK

KAREN   Good to see Micky is there to get things organized for you.  Sounds like you may be getting some good assist.  Like your positive attitude  ;D ;D

PHYL   Thanks for the tips on the "dings"  ;)

Just put on the nest and there is a hatch.  Welcome to DH1

Good Morning Beakers!  And our Newbie karen!

The severe weather warnings turned out to be a dawdle, we got some rain but that's about it. Looks like the realy bad storms went southeast of Des Moines. 36 now, high 47. Next Wednesday will be 85! Hope that doesn't signal that we will go straight into Summer...  ::)

Lani, what a beautiful sunset on the desert! Every cat has a favorite spot, and sometimes they change them with no notice!

Phyl, love the easter egg lights, have never seen any like that! #7 and the GSB eggs, all is well. Love that springy bicycle!

oldguy, great Barred Own video, love Lesley's videos, her voice is so soothing...

tsk, I could see a couple of minor hail dings when we had that storm last August, but the swarm of 'hail damage fixers' said there were over a thousand dents. Of course, I couldn't see the top of my vehicle. Over $8,000 for insurance to have it fixed. Have you already had any of the 'swarm' stop by yet? They follow hail damage all over the country! Good suggestion from Phyl, see how long you have to file a claim with your insurance. Mine was a year.

kb, that tree at the Walborn Reservoir looks so desolate... I hate that so many nests were destroyed in that storm...so sad....

E4E, yes, it's Bella Day! Wonder what she has in store for today?

NEFL - Gabby and V3

Terrible thing - had the post eater eat my post. . .

Warned this morning about our local weather bulletin, tsk.  Fortunately went from tornado warning to severe storm warning.  ABC/Traci even showed pics locals had sent in showing the 2" hail.  That would really leave some dents.  I hurried out to grab the paper before it floated away.  Hot rod will be hiding out in the garage today; I'll be reading.

Amusing posts about cats vs. cameras.  I'm always shaking my head when someone dresses and poses their kittie for pics.  Not the pain-in-the-Ash.  Not sure if there was a secret signal or maybe a smell - All I had to do was touch/pick up the camera and she'd be gone.  I even tried opening the lens and setting down, thought she was hearing the opening of the cam noise.  NOPE   All I did was wear down the battery.  An hour later she'd appear and look up at me with the smug smirk - are we done?

Lori, absolutely a heavenly sight to behold! Our Y nest has babies again!  :-*Thank you, darling pics and gifs.  :-*

Phyl, Thanks for nests updates... good suggestion for Tsk. Our Kansas agent suggested the same to Mike. And then he took them to our car dealership. They used a dent remover to repair the worse ones.

Tsk, you could also have Tim use a dent remover. They are available online and very cheap too, there are videos on youtube to show you how to repair them yourself.

Clynn, Enjoy Miss Bella Day!  ;D

Puff, sorry about your post... fun story of Ash and camera. How do they know? ...  I hope you're feeling better.

Karen, I'm very happy for you that you have Mickey and others ready to help and assist you. You will feel so good to be at home and have your things around you once again. What a wonderful Easter gift!  :-*

Lisa, Norman and Milo like to get under the bed and scratch the bottom of the mattress to wake me. They must lie on the back, with all fours clawing their way forwards and backwards under the bed. UGH! Also, Sadie becomes very angry and is ready to pounce on them the minute they poke their heads out. It's the 5am wake up call that happens once or twice a week during the summer.  :(

Royal Albatross - 4/5

SP chick was busy up the bank this morning, when a Harrier Hawk whizzed by in the background.

The Hawk is no threat to the Albatross chicks. You can read all about them here:

Guess who is in the 6 kg club?
South Plateau chick is 74 days old, and weighs 6.4kg

Could it have been Mum L's extra visit yesterday afternoon? 3 feeds in two days! Well done Mum!

LANI   Lisa, Norman and Milo like to get under the bed and scratch the bottom of the mattress to wake me. They must lie on the back, with all fours clawing their way forwards and backwards under the bed. UGH! Also, Sadie becomes very angry and is ready to pounce on them the minute they poke their heads out. It's the 5am wake up call that happens once or twice a week during the summer.  :(

The bottom of the mattress has gotto be a disaster at this point!   ???

The first eaglet for HM & HD is here, now the wait for #2  8)

It was an uneventful evening weather wise here - no strong winds and only .06 of rain - temp dropped to 40 by this morning and only expecting 50 for a high.  10 day forecast is showing 3 days of 80s next week.

Thanks for the albie info Lani.

Been busy..the wind is ferocious here and only now 31 degrees going down....should be 53....LOL.

Anyway, there has been a very cute little lost dog in my neighborhood since Saturday...I've been following the posts and it seems the owners don't care....or are not here anymore.
Some great peeps, a lady and man have been trying to coax it to them...It's skittish of humans but not of dogs...
After 4 plus days the lady finally decided to call The Retrievers just now...the best in the business.
It's been crossing repeatedly a very busy street one block over from me.
My sis knows The Retrievers owner so we are trying to help and get them going asap..I've been in contact with the lady trying to catch it.

This pup needs to be caught before it gets hit by a car....it's in my neighborhood and close by.
Prayers needed.

Later.

CLYNN   After Easter, Tim will take my car to 2 places for estimates, we will see.  Lesley has some special "animal whisperer" about her.  :-*

PUFF  Just that big thunderstorm about 10 last night and some rain this AM.  It's now dropped from 70's into low 60's and high winds continue.

KAREN.  You sound so good!!!  Safe trip home.

LORI   thanks for the screen shots.

LANI   Brrr.     71 here that early.  Freaky.  Thanks for the tip on the dent remover - will look when done here.  Sweet AM pic  Good  update on the Royals  :)

OLDGUY   Garfield  LOLOL  Smoke on the Water - someone has some extra time  LOL

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on April 05, 2023, 03:12:01 PM

tsk - nope....having trouble hearing back from the Retrievers too....I'm wondering about the Easter holiday as a potential problem?
Also someone posted they think they know the owners....from 4 days ago! but she's at work so can't contact them till later.

I'm hoping if this woman is correct on identifying the owner, who has posted nothing about losing their dog, they don't get it back if caught...
Sounds like they are neglectful often if same dog/same owners.

Breaks my heart that any human could just do that....no matter the reason.
Last siting, was nearby, people said it's looking bad now...starving and cold.

I think i need to take a break....I've done all I can for now.....if I hear anything I'll let you know.

Have someone coming over to help me cut my large arbors out of the street....enough heartache for me for the day.

Clynn Ahhhh the wisdom of Snoopy; been ages since I've heard 'dawdle'. Many tks for NEFL - Gabby and V3/LesleytheBirdNerd - thanks for updates, I recall the Lesly vid on the downey w/p. Wonderful 'welcome' post for Karen.
How was your day with Bella?

Puff shucks about your post---so aggravating; I never pose my cats for the camera esp Mike and Maggie who are naturals---Mags especially.
Are you feeling better these days? Hope so.

Karen I hope all's well at your house when you arrive.  ;)

Eagles determined sun to shine thru the clouds. We reached 80F. This PM been having some mean winds and T-storms.  Got the WT sink mats installed. Now to figure out how to install them in master bath as the smallest  trimmed size is still a tad wide. A competitor doesn't sell mats for cabinets  whose pipest come up thru the 2nd story  floor. I'll work it out---always do.  ;)

Lani wouldn't be surprized if it were actually 'dirt'.  One nest pips and they all start the chatter.  Chilly AM for  you. Pups/mama  awww.  Tks for the Royal updates. SP's really growing. Luv your "Ether Bunny"

Pretty eggs, Lisa.

Lori/Tsk thanks for the hatch announcment.   Lori Great gifs. My iPhone makes them but they don't transfer to Pinterest for some reason. thank you for keeping us in the know. DH1  is precious.  :-*

Beakers, relaxing with my rum & coke!  Bella and I had another busy day, play-doh, stickers, painting and some dolls along with Ah-Pad time. She still had the Strawberry Shortcake tattoos we put on last Wednesday. Erin said they tried to wash them off and they wouldn't budge. So Grandma got them off, Dawn does wonders on that sort of thing. So that is the picture of her showing her hands...with no tattoos (they looked like bruises after a week...).

kb, I hope someone has rescued that puppy...by now! Some people shouldn't be allowed to kids or pets...

Phyl, good day with Bella! I will miss her next week as I will be at Mom's for the week. Leaving Saturday and coming back the next Sunday... But Erin and Sydney will be dropping them off for an hour or so Friday so they can go get Easter basket goodies. I have already given mine to Erin to hold until Easter! I always do Valentine's Dau, Easter, Halloween and Christmas goodie presents.

tsk, I think you are doing the right thing... if hail happens to us again we will try other places besides the snake oil salesmen to fix it if it is really that bad. For the life of me I can't see how it could cost as much as the insurance company paid for without blinking an eye. It's been a chilly day here too. Next Thursday the forecast says 85.

Lani, sounds like the albatross chick is getting plenty of food so far this season! I totally know what you mean by the underside of the bed, Harley has been there.  ::) ::) The outside edge of our adjustable bed base has fabric, and he has found that. I put tape over it and put one of those cardboard scratchers right below it. It seems to have worked, at least for a while... Honey wakes me up every morning, walking all over me... That Easter Bunny is so cute! Isn't is wonderful that we will have babies and get to see them on the Y again! And see the white barn and the horses in the field! Can't wait until they are waddling around in the nest!  Awwww, those sweet little pink-nosed puppies... :-* :-*

Lori, thanks for all the wonderful pictures of our new little one in our favorite nest!  :-* :-* :-*

Lisa, so Misty is really waddlng now? Come on little kitties!  We are anxious to see you!

E4E, Bella didn't want to go to the store today, she wanted me to play with her with the Play-Doh. She likes it because I make little plates of food things...  ;D ;D

Post by: kbshcb on April 05, 2023, 07:17:53 PM

Update: Well Poppie the loose dog is apparently home...The Retrievers did call that lady back but, someone just an hour later said they recognized it on fb and where it lived but she was at work.

The Retrievers then waited for that person to get home and confirm and somehow voila it's now home.

I guess the long story is the owners have let this happen many times before and the dog has been making itself a little second outside home next to a school not that far away.

Problem is it's been very cold here as you know and it's been sited roaming far away crossing busy streets for now 4 days.

It's amazing how the whole community came together and now if it is seen once again they know where it's second home is and they instead will call Animal Control...One of the women wants to adopt it if the owner's surrender it.

My guy planned for the arbor chopping never came....maybe tomorrow?

💕💕 After being gone 5 days, E21 returns home to the nest!! Welcome back E21 you have been missed!

E22 flies into the nest first and gets dive bombed by shrikes. E22 starts to eat some of the old ACF the intruder left on the nest from yesterday. Then M15 arrives with a whole fish and E22 mantles and claims it! M15 goes to the veranda, then the attic - but then looks up and there is E21 floating in and lands right next to Dad!! Wow!! E21 then drops to the nest and both E's mantle over the fish = E22 keeps it. E21 waits on the left side of the next and then picks up the old ACF & tries to eat while waiting for its turn at the fresh fish. We always say Trust the Eagles!! Welcome home E21!! Thank you for watching!

Good night!

RIP DH1  :'( :'( :'(   :-*

No official announcement, but it appears that DH1 isn't moving this morning. No movement has been noted since the cams came on last night. I'm sorry.... :-(

I was looking closely, also - Nothing to report either.

Even all of yesterday I kept wondering even about the  viability of 2nd egg.  There was that extended period of time after first egg laid where it was not brooded and left to long period exposed.

Phyl, looks like it could be a pip, hard to tell! What day is this for #7? Love the pic of Audi's head all tucked in... Nice sunrise on the Flyeay, the birds should be arriving soon!

Oh no, I just read your post as I was previewing...I can't believe it... :'( :'(  Just so very sad...

Lani, so glad to hear that E21 has returned! What a great job M15 has done with these kids! He is a hero Dad! Wow, you had a very cold morning! It's 25 here right now, but this is Iowa, not Arizona!

E4E, I bet I have more pictures of Bella than anyone in the world...she is my Sunshine! Hoping Star is doing well...

kb, relieved to hear that the puppy is safe, I hope the owners give it to the lady who wants to care for it... I would be frantic if my pet was out in the freezing cold! Those owners don't deserve the puppy...

SWFL - Another view!  After nearly 5 days out of camera views, E21 returned to the nest tree right after a food delivery by Dad. Both eaglets are looking healthy and strong! 🦅❤️🤩

Morning Puff and all  :)

Phyl - I checked rewind this morning and went back to last night when cams were turned back on, and I had noticed that DH1 was not moving.  So, something happened while cams were out.   :(
Thanks for all the cam pics this morning. Yea, Misty is getting wider.   :D

Lani - Thank you!   :-*

E4E - I am awaiting my lil additions, so I can get some rest.  :D

oldguy - Thanks for the Q kids video. 

kb - Good news about the pup, and hope the owners keep it inside.  Sorry about your guy not showing up.  Hope he comes today.   

clynn - Great pics from Bella day!  Yes, poor Misty is waddling.  Thanks for posting my pic last night.  :-*

Sun & clouds - high of 63 today

OG - Glad the cams are back on  :)

Lani - I didn't know you & Sadie take such long walks - but as long as you are bundled up! ;D  That is great news at SWFL!!  Glad you guys reached an agreement with your insurance to have your shower repaired. :)

Phyl - Like your morning gif!  Star seems to be holding her own; walking, eating, able to go potty, so doing alright.  Yesterday, I held her on my lap for an hour sitting outside in the sun (it was not hot though), it felt really good.   Thank you for all the great cam pics!   Oh no, I didn't know about DH1 :'( :'(   I had the cam up yesterday and everything seemed fine.

Puff - I wonder too about egg #2.  Of course, I wish it will be ok.

Clynn - That is so wonderful how you've always taken lots of pictures of Bella - a person can never have too many pictures! ;D  Star is hangin' in there. :)

Good morning Tsk!

LisaG - Cute morning gif!   I bet Misty is getting rounder & wider  :) ;D

Beakers have a nice day and stay warm!

clynn - Thank you!  I hope I am a Grand Fur-mama soon...I need sleep!  I did receive a text from Animal Control this morning, checking to see how she was doing, has she had her kittens yet, and to see if I needed anymore supplies.  I am going up there at 1pm to get a few things, and to ask some questions on my mind.  :)

Good morning Beakers,
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Lisa, looking forward to reading what happens with your visit with AC.

Eagles, we had to accept the contractor chosen by our insurance company and pay the deductible. Contractor did a couple of days of pre-work and Insurance company has paid for everything upfront. I'm very happy they will wait till Aly leaves to tear into the shower... sweet Star have a lovely day  :-*

Clynn, prayers for DH2, I can't look at DH1  :'(

Tsk, I will miss Aly very much. I keep it to myself.  :'(

Phyl, thanks for nests updates, prayers for Sauces egg... and I'm very sorry to see the news of DH1  :'(

Baz, I've been checking SWFL cam/chatter post everyday hoping for E21's return... it left right after being hit by GHO on nest tree... I wonder if Dad knew where he was and had been feeding him/her. E21 looks well, siblings need to get to know each other again.

Good friends!....and yes, many humans don't deserve pets.

Lani - I've been busy so may have missed an update on Aly....did she take the Oregon job?..when is she leaving?

Lisa - can't wait to hear how your questions are answered at Animal Control.. ;) ;)

Ollie was a champ at the Vet's this morning with a new Vet Tech getting his toe nails clipped...Chris riding with in the car helps me focus on driving while the Drama King (Ollie) cries in his kennel while going there!..

Boy, while walking with him this morning, the birds singing, the sun at a much higher angle, one would never know it's spring here...very cold wind on the face and temps....and of course 4 feet plus high piles of ice....now about 34 degrees above..

Neighbor up the street who was going to help me is now gone for Easter till mid week next week....We shall see what I decide to do next?

kb - Awww, the dog and duck!  Good boy, Ollie!

Lani - So, Aly accepted the job?  Aww, I know you will miss her!

I am back home from Animal Control with my supplies, and questions answered.  :)
Misty was a kitten that was caught in a trap and brought to AC.  She was chipped by AC when brought in, but too young at the time to be spayed.  AC was transferring her by carrier to their cat house, when she escaped from them in December.  She has never had kittens before, but I did find out that cats can mate with several Baby Daddy's, and have many kittens.  So, that explains why she is having so many. AC said, the kittens might be all different colors of the Baby Daddy's she mated with.   ::)

Lisa, glad you could finally get Misty's history! I had wondered, when you said 6 kittens, if there was more than 1 father cat, since I knew that works that way often with some cat pregnancies. So, she got out from AC this past December? Or December from a year ago??  Is her chip now registered to you and Jeff, in case she accidentally ever gets away again, they will be able to scan for her chip and it will lead them to you and Jeff?  Lots of cuteness and excitement coming your way!  :D

Y'all don't know how difficult it was for me to post the news about little DH1...I've carried the image of that little fella just laying there amoung the fish,  in my mind all day long. :(


Clynn sweet teacup / house wren  greeting this AM; SWFL alt view really shows off E21/22 size  and indeed they look great!

Tsk nice crocus and curious pup; DH1 new parents is what I 've thinking. Cam was off so can't see what ha ppened and been rather busy to get back to Chat. From What I saw early AM might have gotten stepped on ---infantcide.

Fantastic news Clynn ! DH2 is coming into The World...thanks for the 'beaking news'. Praying all goes well for this one!

{{{Eagles}}} this is probably Star's new 'normal'...like Maggie's heart murmur is her 'normal.  Nothing left to do but  give them their meds and love the peewadden out of our  girls!  ;) 

Kb  Good boy, Ollie!  :-*; beaglel and duck , Nature forms some unlikely friendships

Lani Aly accepted the job...yes moms keep lots to themselves---it's a 'mom thing'.  Hugs

Bazi I've read that article  in 2018---good selection for Lisa

Ugg, Poppie out again and sited by 2 different people running...This time the gal who mostly spent the time trying to capture it for days is staying silent and behind the scenes (talking with me) with The Retrievers and the city to capture it and hopefully keep it out of the house of it's original owners.

Yah!....unbelievable to me.....I think the owner's neighbor was protecting the owner yesterday at the expense of the dog...

BAZI  I think we are all on the edge of our seats wondering if Misty was "heteropaternal superfecundated"  ;D ;D

Tsk - Thank you  :)

LisaG - Hope you got any supplies that you need from the AC and that you got answers to any questions you have.   Okay, just read that you found out more about Misty, and that you got answers to your questions!

Lani - Awe, I can't even imagine how much you will miss Aly when she leaves.  Hugs  :-*

Kb - So good that Chris was along for the trip to take Ollie to the vet - I'm sure that is reassuring and a comfort.  Question tho;  When Ollie is on his way back home after leaving the Vet's, does he still cry out, or is he silent because he knows he is on his way home? ;) :)

Baz - Well said about DH1, and I feel the same. :'(

Phyl - You are correct about my little Star; this is now the new normal.  She is a sweet girl and she is adapting to a few different changes.

Tsk - I agree that the poor dog needs to be rehomed - so sad.

BL - Enjoy your time and that delicious meal! :)  Your Dad {BL}

I haven't mentioned this yet, but hubby & I have a vacation planned and we will be leaving here on an early flight 4/25.  I am so sad to know that I will be away from my sweet little Star.  But one of my sons will be here to take care of her and he loves her so much too.  So I am trying to look forward to the vacation that we planned since last November.  I can't even tell you how much I will miss her (choked up just thinking about it).

Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

Phyl - The said, it was early Dec 2022 when she escaped from them, and the first time we seen her on our trail cam was Jan 15, 2023.  So yea, she was on her own for a lil while before she made her way to the woods behind my house.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Maggie!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2d/cb/da/2dcbda101a3f77c850cd4c56d37e5d12.jpg)

tsk - I think they know it was their fault she escaped, but they didn't want to elaborate anymore on it, other than she escaped from them and were thankful I had found her and taken her in. And, they are going above and beyond with anything I need for her tells me they know they were at fault.

E4E - Awww, you will be leaving Star in good hands with your son who loves her.  Enjoy your vacation.   :-*

BL - Hope you enjoyed your BBQ!

Lori - Cute b-day post for Maggie!

Me: Can't begin to say just how excited we all are for this nest---as it's been a few years no viable egglet.
We so love you Sauces Family! :-* :-*

GOOD MORNING ALL

36 heading to mid 40's and sunny.

PHYL  Have enjoyed watching that full moon out my nest window.  :)  HAPPY 21st MAGGIE  Nice long life with more to come.  Thanks for Amy's blog.  Yes it has been a rough year for our eagle nests and others.

EAGLES  4/25 is a long time from now.  One never knows what will happen.  So glad you are doing your traveling now, early in your retirement when you are healthy and able.  When it gets closer maybe you will let us know where  LOL   

LISA  Not to belabor this story but how far from AC to your house did this little Misty travel over that month?

BL  Are you at the Masters???

34 right now, 65 today with abundant sunshine!

tsk, interesting question about the distance from Misty's escape to her new home. Of course she may have been in someone's house and escaped again...we will never know because she won't tell us!

Phyl, lovely sunrise... the cat with the bunny ears reminds me of the Cadbury Easter Bunny Tryouts commercial  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26WXqzvH4-Q  Thanks for Amy's Blog!  Thank goodness, a pip at Sauces!

Lisa, sounds like you are getting what you need from the shelter, that's a good thing.  :)  It won't be long now... Enjoy this little bit posted by one of my cousins in Illinois, she is a teacher:
Audrey (my cousin) - I kept hearing students mention there was a skunk in the gym. Finally got the chance to see him. He’s domesticated. I didn’t get all the particulars nor did I pet him. Just glad he didn’t stink!!

Whew - bit of a relief finally. . .

Turned on puter about 6 - Just now 8AM got first glance of DH2.  Had to hope she was just being protected.  Two hours of no news, though.  Just reassuring for me. Perhaps  I turned away to make tea, take a potty break, or maybe check emails.  But things seem OK.  Checking back, too, I see that DH2 did get some  air time.  Has there been any feeding?

Going back to patrol duty - Later

Kb, Lisa Aly accepted the job in Oregon and will be moving the 3rd week in May. She starts work June 1st. Right now she's trying to find a rental near Medford, where her job is located.

Lisa, oh my gosh "Whose your Daddy?" for Misty's kittens! Well, I bet there will be a white one  ;D .. it's great you were able to get Misty's history and AC is more than happy to help you in whatever way they can.  :)

Kb, Did they find Poppie?  :(. I hope they can rehome.

Tsk, I had to look up "heteropaternal superfecundated"

Phyl, Clear skies and there was a gorgeous moon last night! .. praying for Sauces eagles and Decorah DH2 :-* Thanks for Amy's blog....
Aloha Puff, glad to hear you're feeling much better!  ;D

{{{Hugs Eagles}}} you will be leaving Star in loving hands, go and enjoy your trip.  :-*

Clynn, the skunk is much bigger close up. Cute little Pepe .... Love Lisa's Decorah pic of little bobblehead. I pray all goes well. 🙏🏼

We're having our family Easter dinner tonight. Shannon has given her Easter break weekend to a co-worker to be able to celebrate a family reunion.

Miss Maggie, many Happy birthday wishes and prayers  ;D  :-* !

Lani - as far as I know, not yet.

There is a woman who wants to adopt/re-home it and is in contact with the city Animal Control and The Retrievers org.....she's trying to keep it more hush hush as the owner's neighbor is protecting the owner, not the dog....She has told me she will let me know when they get it.....

If you want me to get a hold of my friend for 50 years who lives in Medford for any help for Aly, let me know. I would gladly contact her.

Have been outside chopping ice/snow....yes, we are getting warmer temps next week ( I'll believe it when I see it) but ice takes forever.....

Ollie man for some reason got me up last eve at 3am, 4am, and then when I tried to go back to sleep at 7am....hmm...was not fun trying to find him a spot to go poo out back on all that ice....took many tries while in the dark on a long retractable leash....only use it out back.
Will need a nap again today.

Our 1980 sidewalk is moving too much in winter and I noticed a few more foundation blocks at the garage are spalling and need a parge patch. $$$$  :-[

Congrats to HM and HD on the hatch of ((DH2)) in N1!!! Welcome to the world, DH2!  :-* :-* :-*


Phyl, thanks for posting the link to Amy's blogpost of DH2's hatch and video, and her excellent message to everyone who is so sad about DH1's death.

Lisa, how many miles is that arrow from the AC bldg to your home on your map? I don't see any notation that says how many miles to an inch, or such. Just wondering how far from AC little Miss Misty went.  I can just visualize Misty and her "wide load waddle."  ;) :D :-*  Is Bandit still hanging in there and getting more accustomed to not being in a 1-cat home anymore? I bet you and Jeff are giving Bandit lots of extra attention.

Clynn, safe travels to your mom's!  Have a fabulous visit!

Tsk, are you cooking this weekend?  Hoping you put yourself at the top of your "To Do List" for a change, and won't overdo.

Puff and Tig, glad you're feeling better.

E4E, oh boy for your upcoming vacay! Star will be in very good, caring hands while you are away.

Hi Lori!  I hope you and your family are all doing better.

BL, enjoy The Masters! Going to be a messy Saturday for the golfers.

((Lani)), congrats to Aly on her new job! I know that comes with her moving, and you will miss her being there at your place!

((Karen)), I hope you got home okay, and that you're comfortable getting around. I'm so glad Mickey is there to help with any adjustments getting taken care of, and you enjoy a nice visit with her, too!  :)

Puffso glad to hear you're doing better and are 'normal' self. Tks for the updates on DH2

Karen I'm sure you're very busy. How was your first night back home? Hopefully you slept like a baby.

Clynn like you AM greetings;  tks for sharing Lisa's  DH2's pic.   Also SWFL Eagles  - great photo.

Eagles nice 'Good Friday';  super good idea to have your son stay w/ Star while  you both are away. Pet sit and house sit all at once.  ;) Lively BD party for Maggie and Lani's sloth even attended.  :o

baz - Jeff thinks AC is about 1/4 mile, or less from our house.  I can literally walk to it from my house.

Just got a text from tsk, Comcast accidentaly cut their cable line and won't be out to fix it until Sunday!  She wanted me to let The Beakers know.  She isn't very happy about it! :-[

Still busy trying to get everything ready to leave in the morning. Have a good night Beakers!

Great news!.

Poppie was caught and is now at home with the woman who has been trying for the week to catch it...
She is working with all the agencies to keep the dog with herself.

Yah Poppie!....someone will now take care of you

Just found out it never was Poppie and isn't Poppie....It is however the dog that's been on the run for now an entire week...there is a picture of the dog a week ago and the woman who caught it.
Unfortunately, the woman who chimed in a few days ago and said she knew who it was stalled this rescue for 2 days..The Retrievers needed to wait if you recall..

Whomever it will be now it is safe and inside a loving woman's home who lost her 15 year old dog last year and has been looking....going through the process properly of course..
If it wasn't for more sitings and pictures yesterday and today, wouldn't have happened.

Puff - Hope baby #2 has been fed.  I'm going to read on . . . .

OG - Thanks for saying that DH2 had its first feeding! ;D

Phyl - Enjoy your dinner tonight!  Did Maggie have a nice day? :)

Clynn - Oh no, that is bad news about the cable line for Tsk.  :o ::) >:(   Safe travels over to your Mom's!   Have a fun trip!! ;D

Lisa, I've got my murder mystery on CD, and my iced tea and some snacks. I am ready to travel! I am pretty sure you will become a Grandmother while I at Mom's! 

Lani, I'm sure you had a wonderful dinner with Mike and your girls and I know your heart is heavy with Aly leaving soon...just know that we are all here for you as you are always here for us...

E4E, I have the same feelings when we leave and have the neighbors feed and check on the cats. I know they are well taken care of but no one knows the little things we do to make our pets  happy.

OG, lots of good music! I listen while working on the computer. It sure helps! Of course, my favorites are the last three videos...  ;D

tsk, I know you are in exile, but am thinking of you...  ;D

Phyl, thanks for the Blog, good to hear DH2 has been fed a lot!  I checked on Sauces, got this pic of Audi sound asleep! I watched until she opened her eye, she must be exhausted! We don't usually see this view! A zonked out Mom...

Me:  reading the comments  from yesterday and this morning, as I understand... day 39 for egg #7 (laid 2-27-23) and day 36 for egg #8 (laid  2-2-23) .  Therefore,  still in a 'hatch window'. Talons crossed as it's said.  Dear Sauces Family, we love you both so much  no matter the outcome this season.  :-*

Thank you all for the birthday wishes for Bradley!!

clynn - Hope you made it safely to your Mom's.  Love your morning pic from Decorah, one of my favorite views!

Good day here Phyl  Made it up to 68, probably 70 for Easter. Sunny and not too windy either

Taking over weather report for tsk for Saturday and Sunday.  She did say they predicted Sunday repair.  I just wonder if Comcast cut the cable themselves or if someone was digging in the rush to spring plant?

Enjoy a precicious, blessed, and happy Easter everyone.

Morning all.

Lani - Yes, not Poppie but an adorable whitish male pup....now living with a young caring woman until the process is finished where she can legally adopt him...I'd post her picture holding the dog but I only know her through private messaging on FB...so I won't..she will post updates as things go along. She told me she and a group of people only captured him as after 7 days he became exhausted running.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE

I'm back!!!    21/2  hours it took this afternoon.  His diagnostic equipment said the break was about 50 feet from the source.  After digging up much of the lawn and crossing over comcast cable he was unable to find the break.  So he started at the house and sure enough not 3-4 feet from the house the cut was discovered.  So much for diagnostic equipment  ::) ::)  He's still working out there splicing and now someone has to come to bury it  - hopefully not on top of our cable.

Since I have very little understanding of how my phone works my Bro said go to phone settings and turn off your wi-fi - then your phone will pick up the internet.  sigh.  So I was able to read the Beak but did not respond - just took notes  LOL

BAZI   Bunnies  "what"  LOL  Easter was easy with deli sides and ham and rolls for Tim and his Uncle.  Sent him home with food.  Never have cats in the OR  LOL

OLDGUY  Cat too friendly and returned - tears - who in their right mind.  ::) :P

Phyl   What a dinner you had Friday night. :o   Did Maggie get something special?  Not "allowed" to read the Nat Geo on the hidden tunnels

LISA   !/4 mile to AC - shorter than I thought.  Sorry I missed Bradley's b-day.   ;)

KB   Great news on the "Poppie" story.  So glad to hear the new "owner" will love him to death.  Like the red fox.

LANI  Loved the Easter cat in the nest of eggs.  Iris is back - Isn't she the longest living osprey they know???  or some such record. ???  Love the AM" Peeps"  LOL

T40   Cube made out of staples - Wonder what he does for a living  :o   King cat - WOW   Orang with sunglasses :)

BL   What a final day at the Masters!

KAREN   You are so blessed to have Mickey.  Hope your first couple days are feeling almost like normal.  It did actually get to 66 today and sunny.

PAULIE   Good to see you and hope you had a lovely Easter

Hope everyone had a wonderful day  ;D

Eagles4 - um it's like 65 here today!....and all week...I think it's going to be 81 on Wednesday.

Nice spring we had here right?...sarcasm.... ;)

It will cool down the week after next, but I'm a chopping my ice piles as fast as I can to speed it up to  be able to get into my cabana and pull out my lawn furniture before Wednesday!
Will be my lawn chair in the sun day.

Tsk - I'm so confused...you mean you have cable underground?...and they dug up your lawn?..
Who gets to clean that mess up?
But then you said you had another wire also underground.
What did I miss.

All our lines are above ground...power, cable/internet, and land lines if you want them...
Therefore they fall down sometimes, but they all say it's too expensive in older neighborhoods to retrofit to underground...

Eagles dinner was pretty basic with Jim's faves and two of mine,  baked ham, scratch scallop potatoes and green bean cassarole, green salad and sliced pickled beets  for me. No dessert. Pets to Star.

(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/d8/18/31/d81831454a6bcaae6c525923abdd2b29.jpg)

Had blood work early this morning, and now I have a splitting migraine headache!  I sure wish you didn't have to fast before blood work. 

Phyl - Great pics from the cams this morning.

Lani - Jeff and I did have a nice Easter, and I hope you and Mike did, too.  Lil' Mama is still with kittens! I wish you could see how wide she is, poor girl!

Lori - Cute Easter post, and mmm, that Carrot cake!

E4E - Did you and Kris have a nice Easter?  Did Mom and sis come over?

tsk - Yay, you are back!!!  Hope you and Tim had a good Easter. 

kb - I saw you comment to tsk about the cable being underground.  Ours is the same way here.  There is a main cable box in my front lawn by the road, and then there is the cable box on the side of the house.  My cable line runs from the one by the road, across my front lawn, under my front walk to the side of the house.  They replaced it last year, as it had a cut in it.  They use some special tool to bury it, and it does not leave your lawn looking a mess.

Heading to 70 today and sunny

LORI   Sweet cuddlies and to die for treats  ;D

BL  Cool spring map and must have been a great cabin you found to hunker down  ;)

KB  I wrote a long explanation but will not repeat - Basically cables and electric are all buried.  Mine along my east fence and into my garden - about 40 feet and then crosses the neighbors yard to the pole and the far side of his yard.  three pics show the sequence.  In cable "buryers" just make about a 5" slice in the grass and push the cable in it.  Really no mess.    What a sweet pic of the three of you!!!

PHYL  Still could not read article- had to subscribe.  I would have loved Maggie's b-day treat.  ;D

LISA  Do you have anything you can take for the migraine?

I have pics to  post but Google photos has changed what was a simple resize to one I can't figure out.  Will work on it

NEW: Sloth TV Playground Camera!

Stay tuned for our new camera, where you can see some of the animals from our rescue center as they go through their rehabilitation journey. You can even catch the various wild birds that visit our ranch constantly!

Catch Viscerion, the crocodile, as he takes the sun in his pool daily. Also, be on the look for Randy and Rihanna while they exercise and recover during their rehabilitation process.

Ziggy, a 3F Sloth: He doing fine, sometimes trying to escape, ready to go to the Release Site.

NEW ARRIVALS:

Lilo 3f: She is a baby around 1 or 2 months old. She was found in Guapiles, her mom was attacked by dogs and sadly passed away. Lilo has a dislocated knee. The vet team is waiting for x-rays, and there is an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon.

Ollie 2f: He is 2 or 3 weeks old. He was found on top of his deceased mom, we don’t the reason of the mom passing away. Ollie is doing well so far, and adapting to drinking milk, and he is in the incubator.

6 baby parrots, orange chinned parakeets:Came from a confiscation, during holidays the police do road blocks looking for wildlife contraband. These babies probably were going to the black market. We recieved 11 parrots. We have 6 at the headquaters and 5 at the Release Site.

Sloth Pre-School Updates:

Coco, and her friend Geo, 2F Sloths: They are doing great. Always together, always climbing.

Landon, 2F Sloth: He is doing better. We noticed he wasn't climbing too much, but since he is getting better probably will be climbing more.

Pax & Liana, 2F Sloths: They are doing really well; they are synchronized climbing.

Roo, 2F Sloth: He is doing good. He is now out of the incubator, and graduated to the basket; he loves it, and looks like he kinda doing chins ups.

Robin, 3F Sloth: Not much progress with the theraphy recently, but he is doing fine.

Good morning (still morning here) or good afternoon! :)

Beautiful day w/sun - high of 62

Kb - Wow!  So happy for your warm temps - enjoy!! 8)  Love your beautiful photo of you & your twin brother and sister! :-*

Phyl - Sounds like you & Jim had a delicious dinner yesterday! :)  Star thanks you for 'pets'!  Thank you for Sauces cam pics and Decorah goose nest!
 
Lani - Yes, we had a nice Easter with my Mom, sis, & one of my sons.  Like your 'nite' pic last night! ;D  Love gorgeous pic of Iris!  You will certainly be a very busy girl - and understandable that you probably will not be in the Beak as often as you normally are.  Sure sounds like a huge state convention!

Tsk - Oh no, bummer about losing your post. :(  Thank you for the cable/yard pics - it really tells the story pretty good. ;)

LisaG - So sorry for the terrible migraine you are having right now.  Hope it eases and you feel better soon.  Yes, we had a nice Easter.  My Mom, Sis, & my son came over for a nice meal (I didn't make a traditional meal tho - we bbq'd).

Star had lots of extra love & attention yesterday with the company we had!
Today hubby had to report for jury duty this morning, and he texted me that he got chosen and that the case will be 3 or 4 days.
Also, regarding jury duty - I have a summons for this Wednesday, but I need to call tomorrow (Tue. after 5:30p to see if I need to show up).

Beakers have a nice day  :)

tsk - I do, it is a prescription from neurologist called Maxalt.  It is a melt in your mouth kinda pill, but it works fast if you don't let the migraine get too bad.  Mine was bad this morning, cause whenever I get blood work done, and you can't eat or drink my blood sugar drops and I get a migraine. 

Phyl - LOL, wide load for sure.

kb - I look back at pics and hairstyles Mama had on us when we were younger.  ::)

Lani - AC did give me a folder, and a detailed paper on the different stages of labor.  Every day, I say to her, are we in Stage 1 yet?  Noooooo!  ;D  Beautiful pics of Iris!  Thanks for the TRR, and Royal update.

E4E - We didn't have the traditional meal either!  We grilled chicken and sweet potatoes.  Jeff made some brussel for him, and I had some fresh okra that I boiled and poured Italian dressing over.  Sounds gross, but I love it!  :D

Did I mention? We did waffles n bacon for lunch and diced ham n chopped hard boiled eggs salad on Hawaiian buns for supper - two ways: with sweet relish for him and with capers for me. Yum. We watched church online. Lunch with relatives some other time when not so busy at restaurants.
Getting our arborist to come trim where a branch fell and where one is still partly attached. And, so far, we've heard back from 3 of 4 companies I contacted to give estimates for our sidewalk problem.
Trying to decide whether we need to pay $$$ to have a professional flush our water heater, or if we can just drain it like we have done each year.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: oldguy on April 10, 2023, 04:29:03 PM

Tig - the flush you do is most likely sufficient, but the anode rod is recommended for inspection every 1-2 years, with replacement when it is at 50%.  Replacement will extend the life of the water heater and reduce pin hole issues in copper lines.

We had a good weekend - I grilled hamburgers for the card game crew on Sat.  On Sunday we did carry out from a carryout Chinese place and a BBQ place.

We got to 71 for Sunday and 75 today - low 80s the next 3 days.  Rain coming in for the weekend.

I work tomorrow and the weekend.  Got my taxes submitted today - had to pay in on the Fed. but getting back on state - so still ahead... 8)

tig - Lunch and dinner sounded yummy!

oldguy - I had to do the same for my taxes.  Glad to hear you had a great weekend, and all food sounded good.

Jeff just posted this pic on Facebook, and one of his friends wanted to know, which one was the pregnant one...  ;D

LisaG - You had a delicious meal yesterday too - I have not had okra though.  We had mashed potatoes & gravy and corn on the cob & green salad with our bbq.   Love the darling pic of Misty & Bandit!

Tsk - After my hubby thought he was chosen, someone announced that he was excused - so he is done for 2 years!  But yes, I am a little nervous to get this jury summons so close to our vacation.  :-\

Tig - Happy that you & Camper had a nice Easter and a yummy meal  :)

OG - Glad you had a great weekend - you & your other half deserve all that is good! :)  Enjoy those nice weather temps! ;D  It always is a good feeling to get taxes done & submitted - our situation was similar to yours!

Phyl - Wow, amazing pic of lion with camera in it's mouth!

Lani - Have a good night after this busy day!

Hi Puff, Kb, Baz, Lori  :)

Eagles, what a coincidence that you and Kris would have jury duty during the same period. I almost hate to say something about jury duty, I may jinx it and get a summons. :-\  We didn't have a traditional Easter meal either.

Lisa, I hope your migraine is gone... my MIL loved  fried okra, I preferred it pickled with my salad. Mike's grandmother pickled okra, and Yum! I like brussels sprouts pickled too... oh my, at first I couldn't tell which cat was pregnant, until I remembered Black one is Bandit... awww they look sweet lying near each other... Sweet Misty does look bigger than she did last month. Her tail is up, I think she's nearing her time. No wonder you and Jeff have sleepless nights.

Oldguy, Thanks for the tip for Tig ... glad to hear you had a good weekend, fun card night with friends. Thanks for links.

Phyl, Philanthropic Educational Organization for women

Good night!  ;D

Off to ENT this morning to find out about the tube in my ear that fell out when I was sick. 

Phyl - Awww, look at your bluebirds!  Beautiful sunrise on Flyway, and great pics from the cams.

Lani - Migraine gone, thank goodness!  I love pickled okra, too, especially the spicy flavored one. 
LOL, yea Bandit does look preggo too, he is so big.  Awww, the lil piglets!

E4E - Your sides for the BBQ sound delish!  Can you write to the jury commissioner that you have a vacation scheduled and paid for, and leaving on a certain date?  I know we can do that here if you get a jury summons.

tsk - Fresh okra

Tsk Oh gosh no! My great Cousin Laura was a Benedictine nun (religous name Sister Irene) in the 1930s-1940s. She developed  a heart illness and left to live with her mother, my great aunt Lea. Both passed since late 1980s. Though I had taken a retreat at a convent a few times.   :)

Lisa sending good vibes for your ENT visit/tube replacdment;  'Preg-go' is the word in your house LOL  Be careful. LOL   :-*

Eagles I had been selected once when in late 20s ---I got out of it in a snap. I had a prolapse mitral valve and my boss told me to go to doc and show the summons, doc wrote a short note for me to present to the presiding judge. Judge' sectretary gave me permission to have meeting in judge's chambers ---never forget that---I walked in he was busy at his desk with head down, I said 'Your Honor.' Gave my full name and said I had a doctor's excuse I wanted to present to him.  He stretched his hand out and I walked up to his desk, etc. He never looked up at me until after he read the note---said 'You're excused. Thank you.' And returned to his work.
 I turned , exited and handed the papers to his secretary, she made me copies and kept the originals saying 'You;'ll be removed from all future lists.' 
It was a murder case and jurors were sequestered. I regret not serving.

Kb like Tsk, I too wonder if this wasn't 'photo shopped'. Cute nonetheless. Bur, what folks can do with computers and this new AI   :(

Tig  take great care with yourself  ;)

Easter Basket! Right before we went live yesterday, Aryana flushed from the Brazilian Skyflower tree. I immediately recognized what she was telling me: Approach quietly...my nest is nearby. I stood still, staring up into the dense foliage for a long while before I found the nest. Here it is, equal parts magic and cotton fluff. No eggs yet, but she's being fiercely protective, so I imagine she'll be incubating soon! Want to know more about her tiny, totally hidden Easter basket? I'll share photos in reply to this post...

The section of the Brazilian Skyflower in which she's hidden her nest. Just look at that beast of a tree! Her nest is in a thicket of tangled branches, and for that reason, Explore couldn't position a nest cam for livestream views. We'll post still shots, when possible and in a way that's not disruptive. NOTE: Tempting though it might be, never ever prune your shrubs and trees this time of year! During nesting season, countless hummingbird babies are brought to rehab for this very reason. 😢

Hi Zen! Aryana has a very distinctive gorget. It is larger and more heavily colored than most and appears to have a shape like a Christmas Tree. It is scalloped on the bottom edge with a notch in the center. With this up close and personal view and different times of day and light will show a change at times. She is here often because this is her feeder and territory. Most others you might see will have more of a spotted spaced gorget and not as dense. I hope I explained that right. It's sometimes difficult.

Bearstudy -  Bears Emerging - UPDATE April 10, 2023

https://www.bearstudy.org/updates/daily-updates/4741-bears-emerging-update-april-10-2023.html

Last evening, I got a call. It was the first sighting of a bear in this area this year. It was 6-year-old Carolyn and her two male yearlings Clay and Carl looking good against the white snow. Carolyn is Shadow’s great-granddaughter, and daughter of Donna.
(https://www.bearstudy.org/templates/yootheme/cache/20230410_Carolyn_Clay_Carl_4-9-23_C_Quick-60162dd1.jpeg)

Eagles, Mike is thrilled he's no longer called for jury duty. Arizona has an age limit of 75 years. He was constantly called for juror duty for Maricopa County when we lived in Scottsdale. I was called three times, but each case was delayed to a later date. Payson just built a new courthouse, its citizens no longer have to travel almost 2 hours to Globe to serve jury duty for Gila County. Glad Kris was excused.

Tsk, try pickled okra first, perfect as a side with a salad... my paternal grandmother's aunt was a Benedictine nun in Quebec. My middle name was her given name.

{{{Tig}}} enjoy working outside. I put my indoor potted plants outside Sunday, keeping them covered overnight until the night temps settle down.

Kb, I never tire seeing the pic of the kitten up high in the bird's nest. LOL!

Lisa, yes, I love spicy pickled okra too. nice and crunchy, I'm getting hungry for them.... glad your migraine is gone. My MIL had tubes in her ears most of her life. It was so frustrating when they fell out when she had a cold or cough. She lost a few on the golf course.

Phyl, lovely sunrise on the Fly away... thanks for nest updates... I wouldn't be able to find a hummingbird's nest in the Brazilian Skyflower tree... sweet Bluebirds.

kb - On March 23rd at the first vet visit he said, should could deliver today or in the next two weeks.  Two weeks was April 6th, the same day I went to AC.  I mention that day, that it was 2 weeks since the vet said she would deliver.  They told me to give her another week, and if she didn't to contact them.  If she don't by Wednesday, I am.

tig - Glad to hear that you are getting better each day. 

tsk - Back from ENT, and the tube was out sitting in the ear canal, as the PCP said.  ENT took it out, and showed me.  It's alot bigger than I thought, not like the ones that they put in kids ears.  It has been 5 years since I got the tubes, so he said instead of replacing just the one, would I mind if he did both.  I was like no.  It is an outpatient thing, so I will be put to sleep.  I am going to warn you....when you boil the okra, it gets slimy. 

E4E - You're welcome.  :)

Phyl - I wish Ms. Preggo would have these kittens!  I know I say this everyday, but she acts restless.

1/3 of lake was ice out and still snow on the skiing hills nearby....
But it was lovely to see the multiple pairs of Loons.
I know one of Lani's as well as my favorites.

HAPPY DAY BEAKERS!  :)


I love okra prepared all ways. Boiled, slimy... lol... or sliced and breaded and fried (not slimy), or pickled (not slimy) - yum, on a skewer in my dirty vodka martini or Bloody Mary! I sometimes use a hot or spicy pickled okra, but the mild pickled ones are yummy too... especially on the side of a salad, as Lani mentioned she likes them. Roasted okra is not slimy, but must be baked at very high temp - 450 degrees or so - and then it will be a bit crunchy on the outside, and creamy on the inside - so easy to do with fresh, tender, summer okra.  Here's one recipe for roasting okra. I like this link because if you scroll through all of it, it has some excellent tips and notes, especially for those not familiar with roasting okra:

Hi guys! Still have bronchitis but I am feeling better than a month ago!   :-\  Lisa, call the vet and ask if you need to bring her in, they will probably do another ultrasound and then they can induce labor with a medication or give her a c-section or hopefully just wait a couple more days.  Yes, they can have different fathers and different ages (a few days apart) we will see!  ;D

Their fence is up, the A/C is uncovered, the burlap wall is recovered from the dwarf evergreen and the low picket fencing removed. Rabbit away shaken. Some mulch lightly raked from the grass and downed branches gathered.
And the freezable items and lawn mower batteries returned to garage.

the same. Good luck w/the tube proceedure

Phyl - Did you stay at a convent?  Just read what you said about jury duty - you got excused for life!  Love your aryana hummer post - so cute  :-*

Lani - Glad that Mike is no longer called for jury duty and hopefully you won't be called either!   Thanks for Bearstudy  :)

LisaG - So, did you get only one ear done today?

Kb -Beautiful lake pics!    Awe, Ollie  :-*

Baz - Okra recipes  ;D

Lori - Happy Birthday to your Grandma who turned 99!! ;D

Tig - Rest easy and don't over do. 

Tsk - We had a high of about 62 - you were warmer!

I called after 5:30 to see if I needed to report in the morning for jury duty, but I am Excused for 2 years - I can't believe it - very happy!!  Especially because I am giving my little Star extra care for her health issues.  She is requiring more loving care these days.

All Beakers have a good night & sleep well  :)

Lori, Many birthday wishes for your grandmother! awww she's beautiful and surrounded by the gorgeous flowers! Take care  :-*

Eagles, YAY! No Jury duty. Glad you can spend the time with Star.

Baz, I'd forgotten about okra with a bloody mary. New Orleans is where I had my first bloody Mary with okra! I love a spicy bloody mary. Yum, I haven't had one in years. I'd try baked okra.  :)

Good night!

HI BEAKERS

59 and heading to 80, Breezy and sunny  :D

EAGLES   Yes we are way above average in temps for a few days - Back to the high 40's and low 50's by Monday  LOL   Now you can rest easy for 2 years - no jury duty.  I remember getting a doctor order to excuse me for being the primary caregiver for my parents when I was in my 60's

LANI   Good night pups  ;D ;D ;D

BL    Cute pups - bet they can swim faster tho  LOL

PHYL  That's one unusual AM duck visitor catching a plane ride  ;D  Beautiful skyway this AM     I see now DH1 may not have been stepped on as they originally thought.

KB   Just passing through was so cute - but when through Mama looked as if she made a wrong turn  LOL  " Now where's the water?"

I had an atrial fibrillation breakthrough while I was in the deep end this a.m. Kinda scary to have to shower, drive home. But just as I was taking another pill it cleared. Phew. I think a day of rest is in order however.

Thanx for the info from Amy

44 to 70 today  8)

Kb, love "just passing through" the music is perfect. And then when she stops to look both ways "now, which way to the water?"  ;D :-*

Phyl, thanks for updates of Sauces mom, Mother Goose and RRP update... pretty sunrise

BL, that looks like Mabel and Olive paddling.

{{{Lisa, Jeff and Misty}}} and sweet Bandit too  :-*.

Eagles, my dear MIL loved bloody marys, when we visited her bar was set up for Bloody Marys, or martinis and white wine for me. Mom had a glass every day of her 91 years. Her golf/card foursome was a hoot. Those ladies played three times a week when mom was in her mid-30's to 90. When she was 80 she only played 8 holes.

{{{Tig}}} That's sad about the Elsen brothers....  I agree with Tsk. Mike's had a couple as well, the elevation bothers him now. Thinking of you.  :-*

Karen, I hope you're settling in and doing well  :-*

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

It's morning somewhere.  ;)


Lori, happy belated 99th birthday to your grandmother! Wow, she looks great!! Love all the flowers - the ones you sent her are spectacular! Glad you are feeling some better now.

My refrigerator has gone on the fritz. Boo. It happened a little over a week ago...  it keeps things cool, but not cold enough. The freezer is working fabulously, thank goodness, and was full to overflowing with lots of stuff. It's keeping things in the freezer at around minus 10 degrees, or colder. So I have been using stuff from the freezer, bit by bit, and making meals that I can freeze leftovers in meal-sized reheatable portions that I put in the freezer - ready to reheat the next day.  I ate all the stuff from the fridge that I could before it went bad, like eggs and cheese, and tossed what couldn't be saved or safely used. Keeping the butter in the freezer. The only items left in the fridge now are things that don't require refrigeration, but that I keep in the fridge anyway... like open flour, open pkgs of rice or pasta, dried beans, cereal, oatmeal, etc. It's only running about 48 degrees in the fridge since it broke, so that's too warm to keep items that really require refrigeration.  It's working out as  a great wine cooler though!  ;D  It's a bummer not being able to keep some things in the fridge that I usually would, and therefore doing without for the time being, but it's not the end of the world. I decided not to put any money into a repair since that fridge is 17 years old. I will shop for a replacement when I get closer to the bottom of what is stored in the freezer... I'm working my way through that bit by bit, and not adding a single item to it.  Oh laaa, and this too shall pass.  ;) 8)

BAZI  Drat.  17 yrs tho is really long these days.  I think you have a good plan.

Had two more breaks and finished the porch at 1:30.  Sat and read for an hour to rest and then a quick trip to Trader Joes and to a favorite stop for a chopped salad for dinner, - Tim in Door County and will return tomorrow.  Snuck in a small Snickers Blizzard last night from Dairy Queen  LOL

tsk - AC called me around 10:30am, and asked me if I could bring her up there after 3 to let the vet look at her.  I did, they said they expect her to deliver in the next 24 to 48 hours based on their examination, so we will see!  DQ Snickers Blizzard sounds yummy!

Lani - Thank you  :-*  Oh wow, snowing at Hellgate.  I hope Iris finds a nice suitor.

baz - So sorry to hear about your fridge.  Mine did the same exact thing...freezer worked great, fridge slowly lost the cold.  I love that you have found use for it as a wine cooler.   ;D

Some bounce
Yes, it is scary when afib happens. I've been on diltiazem and had the dosage adjusted for about a decade.
I also had a situational blood clot some years ago (from sitting up during a bad cold for two weeks). Took certain meds for 2 weeks, then warfarin for 6 months, then and now a baby aspirin a day.
I made note of the possible causes, duration, etc. on my calendar. My doctor said it was ok to take another pill. If it were to go on for several hours I would call him. This is the first time it has happened during the day.
Camper is home from lunch with his friends so I feel better.

Tsk - How is the family doing these days?  :)  Ok just read that Tim is in Door county and back tomorrow.  You are always keeping busy with helping others and doing things around home - you definitely deserve to treat yourself at Dairy Queen! ;D

Kb - Did you & Ollie go for a walk? :)  Ok, I just saw where you mentioned that you & Ollie will walk tomorrow.  :)

Lani - Your MIL was still playing golf up to around age 90?  I had a Bloody Mary once while we were on vacation in Kauai, but before that, it had been at least a couple of years since I had one!  I had actually forgotten how Good they are! ;)   Like the cam pics!! ;D

Baz - Good idea to be using up the food in the freezer!  You have time to price around for a new refrigerator.  :)

kb - We are supposed to be 80° today.  I might be turning on the air.  Jeff is home, and he hates to be hot...lol

tig - I hope you are feeling a lil better this morning.

E4E - I am glad too, even tho I was on antibiotics for 10 days, I still have some sinus pressure, so glad  I am on the books, too!

tsk - I actually got a good night's sleep in the birthing room, Jeff on the other hand didn't.  Misty was under the bed in our room last night, and he could hear her moving around. 

Phyl - Yes, too busy!  Hope you enjoyed your pedi.  :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Paulie

Have a long "to do" list this morning before the heat really kicks in again this afternoon..

The Mississippi is now in a flood warning for certain areas due to fast snow melt, and oddly we are all under a high fire warning as well with low humidity, winds, and heat today for all of us..
Fires and floods!

And I read over weekend kb that they're delaying the opening of the north rim in Yellowstone until a couple weeks into June.  They're still trying to deal with the snow, which isn't melting as fast as needed.  They quoted, as I recall, 235 inches this year.  Did you still have them beat?  No. 2 most ever at north rim.  Have main entrance (south) opened.

tsk Just take it easy, listen to md.  I say that knowing darn well I didn't follow the aforementioned advice - having trouble moving this morning.

Good Morning Beakers

Another warm and sunny day here - high of 82 yesterday, forecast is 83 today and tomorrow, with rain moving in to the area for the weekend. 
I see that Florida got hammered yesterday, with flooding over many parts of the state.  Ft. Lauderdale recorded 20-25 inches in 24 hours.  Hollywood,FL got 11 inches in 12 hours.
So I will be content with the 1 inch forecast for our weekend.
Worked on Tue and the garden center was 2/3 stocked with plants - hoping that the temps stay above freezing.  Lots of people getting started on yardwork.

HM seems to be keeping H2 hidden and to herself.  It has been buried under grass, not fed, there's no weather situation to protect it from.  And now HD is being given no access and even scolded if he tries to uncover/see H2.

Horrid to watch - she hasn't fed now since about 2:45/2:50 nest time.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

54  heading to 78 and sunny.  :)

LANI   Good grief - I sure hope you can get some sleep today.  Huge job for just 1 person.  :o :o

PHYL  Where are you with your book?  Haven't heard much about it lately.   Nice clip of the Norths.

KAREN   Hope all is going well.  How long will Mickey stay?

LISA  Hope the kittens come today - I'd be a mess if I were you

No kitties yet...I am gonna need that whole pot of coffee!  I am so tired. 

tsk - I hope they come today, too, but I am not counting on it.  AC said, 24 to 48 hours, that will be 3pm today....48 hours.  ::)

Phyl - That was a great talk from Amy & John with Mike from Explore. I am thinking my vet, and the AC vet both have the due date wrong!

Lani - Thank you, and I know what you are going thru with no sleep.  I hope you can get some rest.  :-*

Lani - You've got to try and get more sleep - easier said than done - but hope you are able  :)

Phyl - Like the Sauces cam pics!  Great pic of the Norths  :)  Like Decorah goose cam  :)  Love the pic of DH2 eating.

Hi Tsk!  Did Tim get back home?  Enjoy your nice warm day  :)

LisaG - You need some rest too (like Lani)!  Maybe a nap is in order? ;)  Misty is just keeping you in suspense - she will probably have them when you least expect. :)

Hi Puff, Kb, Tig, Lori, Clynn, OG, BL  :)

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Tsk/Lisa like I said this AM---AC/regular vet must have gotten due dates wrong.

Hi Bazi waving back

Tsk Yikes! Comcast out, again!? There's a couple of reasons I don't mention working on my little novel. But, I'll only mention
one---there are guest from around the world in The Forum, and if I go into much detail ,  i.e. plot, story  etc., will be 'out there' for anyone to steal.  I've worked very hard on this and ...it's mine.

Hi Eagles   I was thinking  same thing about the kittens--- Lisa will wake up and there those furry little babes are, mewing in unison  ;D

Update on Taho: The dog that was thrown out of the car. (Jan 30 going 80mph)...and recovered, treated, and through multiple attempts to diminish his fear( biting) this 7 month old pup was just euthanized.

I'll spare you the details but I read the entire history of so many attempting to rehabilitate him and I feel confident they did all and more than they could.

this snipet only:Taho experienced severe trauma and abuse from his original owner, a woman that had previous animal cruelty charges, who was using fentanyl, and who threw him out of a truck during a high-speed chase with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. Because of the abuse and trauma, he had to be euthanized.

Oh and the woman is on the lam from the law at the moment. she had previously shot a different dog...

I'll never understand these kinds of humans...we aren't supposed to I believe.

However, he's in a much better place now, though.     RIP fella  :-*

Hi Baz!  :)  Cute morning gifs!

Lani - I concur with Baz in that 'next year is someone else's turn with the convention'!  Please get your rest and sleep {{Lani}}

Tsk - Bummer about your internet - highly frustrating.  Hope your carrier gets it fixed - if not, better ask for a discount for the month affected.  It wouldn't be right to be paying full price when you haven't been able to use it except for part time.  Miss you here.

LisaG - I am not a daytime napper either, so I understand that you would not be able to sleep!

Phyl - Just when LisaG thinks that Misty won't have the kittens tonight - then she will! :)

Kb - That is such a sad story about the pup that had to be euthanized.  Read everything you said, and I am sure that those nice folks did much to help rehab the pup and to give him lots of loving care.  Such a sad story of that beautiful pup that got ruined from lots of abuse. :'(

Hi OG, Tig, Puff, Clynn, T40, BL, Lori, Paulie  :)

Everyone have a good night & sleep well.

Beakers.....just got another message from tsk

Tim to ER last night with full blown a-fib.  She left home at 4.  They decided to admit him, as blood work was out of whack.  They want his cardiologist to see him.

She will keep me posted, and I will let you all know.

Lisa .. tnx. Do keep up posted.
I was awakened by a tree trimmer guy letting me know "my" tree will be trimmed soon prior to the power co. replacing "our" pole. I informed him it is a city tree on the tiny Blvd. I'm glad about the pole which is luckily a few feet from our property. Hopefully they will tighten our old telephone line that has been sagging.

It is 'Caturday'!

overcast - maybe some sun in the afternoon - high of 60

Baz - 'Imagine' has always been one of my favorites - thank you! :-*

Morning Phyl! Thank you so much for all the wonderful cam pics  :)  Cat duet! ;D

LisaG - I tend to think that the AC got the date wrong.   I know you are doing everything to take the best care of Misty.  I have a hunch it will be this week! :-* :)

Kb - Yesterday, I watched Al Roker doing the weather across the States and I saw how you are having such beautiful weather and that Sunday it will be 'winter' again!  I understand when you say you are having whiplash!

Oldguy - Have a good day at work and thank you for links!

LisaG / Tsk - Oh no, so sorry to hear about Tim having to go to the ER.  Thoughts & prayers for Tim and gentle hug for Tsk. :-*   LisaG - thank you for sharing Tsk's info with us.

Tig - I like that you mentioned to the tree trimmer that the tree belongs to the city!  Hope your arch/ankle feels better soon - take care and don't overdo.

Hubby took our '77 VW bus to a volkswagen swap meet.  He took Parts that he has had boxed up from the bus & our bug that he doesn't need, so hope he can get rid of the stuff!

I chose to stay home with Star, although I will run to the store for a couple of things.  I will take Star for the ride!  Star's condition has not changed much, but she keeps eating & drinking and walking, so she is hangin' in there.

Beakers have a nice day  :)

EAGLES  Friday we were at 82 when you reported 63  :o   yes Tim had a long ride home - 5 hours on Thurs  Lots of construction.   Star - eating drinking and walking.  We don't take any of that for granted.  :-*  Did Kris get rid of the stuff? ;)

BAZI  Loved the funny gifs and coffee funnies.   " do your business in your litter box" LOLOL

LISA      thanks for being my messenger  ;D

PHYL  AT&T not Comcast were here yesterday and today and laid an entirely new line to the pole - The outside tech was here this AM to hook it all up.    Cute good night last night  " our neighborhood of friends"

BY THE WAY  I loved the pickled OKRA!!!!  However there is not once ounce of nutritional value in it. LOLOL

KB   Terrible follow-up to Taho's story.  Like Lani said - He's at peace now.  He may have had some irreparable brain damage as well that caused the unrehabable behavior?

LANI  You have a light at the end of the tunnel.  Was wondering tho.  Sometimes a project will have a chair and co-chair - the next year the chair retires and co-chair becomes chair and selects new co-chair.  That way 2 people bare the burden and easier transition with information.??  Thanks for the bear and Royals report.  Lots going on at the bear center.

OLDGUY  Cat brings home a friend Awww    Maru's head is so big!!

T40   " Insom nom nom ia  LOLOL  Loved the little girl writing with her cat  :-* :-*  Another cat that fetches - YAY

OK  My appt went well with the surgery doc - all restrictions remain in place and No PT or gardening until he sees me in 6 more weeks May 26  No golf for 6 months - Sept.  so that is when the yearly tourney with my bros will be ..LOL

So when I had my surgery I said to Tim please stay well until I'm up and running - Well he did - That very night he awakens me scared to death with this very rapid HR - pain in neck and some in Left arm.   911 - To ER - think they did most of the treatment in the ambulance cuz by the time they let me in with him in the ER he was starting to return to normal.  Wanted to come home  Ya right - Blood work - much of it flagged as not normal.  15 hours later he gets a room this afternoon.  His cardiologist is off this weekend  - arghh - so another from the team came by and suspects his regular doc will do an angiogram to see if any by-passes or stents are a problem.  He may have had some death of a few heart cells as well.  So I hope he can come home tomorrow and we can go Monday as out pt for the angiogram.  Sub doc was going to text regular doc but I left before I had an answer to that.  What a crazy weekend

Once again thanks for all your prayers and support.  :-* :-*

Chris thanks tsk,phyl, lani, eagles4, lisa, and tig for his surprise Birthday Wishes!

I was surprised as well....He turns 35 today.

It's a miserable weather day...an inch of snow last night with maybe an inch or so today so better than it could have been.

I have pictures of Chris' mid April Birthday going back forever and there is always long green grass in the back ground, but for maybe one year or two....
Not this year!...

was going to put short ribs in the crockpot but I decided I don't want to cook today so will most likely order something delivered....just not motivated with this weird weather year.

Lani - loved your last night picture of the bird in hand with sun in the background.
Phyl - so hope the Sauces egg hatches..
Lisa - every morning now I hope for some kitty news...and that you are new mommies and daddies...does Misty act okay?....
Hope everyone is recovering and continues to as well as our fur babies

Eagles, unfortunately Mike suffers with allergies here the worse. His eyes are red and burning, face swollen. He's going to Gila Bend this week to get away from the junipers that are blooming with their yellow powdery seeds. When the wind blows the seeds explode and mustard colored powder sprays through their air. Our patio is covered with that powder. I have to keep the doors and windows closed. He's going to go and get an allergy shot on Tuesday. Finally, he's going to get one. We've been after him for years, I'm sure it'll help him... WOW! Kris did well at the swap meet! Glad you and Star had a good day.  ;D

Lisa, awww Misty needs comforting massage, oh time must be close. sending prayers little mama.

Kb, I hope Chris has a good day and many warm wishes are sent! Gorgeous big kitty. LOL!

Lani - Love the pics of Harriet's domain.  I hope today is lil mama's day. Poor Mike with the his allergies.

Karen, great story about Murphy the 31-year old eagle!  :-*  Thanks for sharing!   :)  How is it for you being home now? I hope you're able to sit outside some and enjoy your spring weather! Take care, and sending you good wishes to get stronger and better and better! Hugs!  :)


Lisa, thanks for sharing Karen's link to the eagle story.  :) It sure sounds like Misty is antsy, and you know what that means. LOL. Maybe you should just go ahead and pull the sofa a little bit more back away from the wall?  Give that Wide Load Mama a little more turning around, and birthing room!  ;) :D  I think she's gonna "blow" today! Awww, I bet it's all going to be a-ok.  :-*  They say allow 30-minutes to an hour, on average, between each kitten's delivery... sometimes longer.  Better put some hot water on, and maybe throw an old sheet or towel down on the floor behind and under that sofa? Hang in there - I can't wait for the news!  :)

KB, yep, that's "Lollie."  ;) :D

TSK, I hope Tim is still feeling better. Fingers crossed that he gets the okay to go home today and then do those tests as an outpatient.

Yup, we just did.

Baz - My bad...I forgot it's Lollie!. ;) ;)

Lisa - Baz has some good suggestions I thought...hang in there....too bad you can't break her water....oh then you'd need to be able to do a c-section at home if a problem.....I guess not ;) ;)
Food arrives around 3:30 from the Foundry:
For Chris it's their pretty darn good spaghetti with meatballs.
Myself it's their banh mi sandwich with fries.....hopefully the snow will hold off till after delivery.

Hey, decided after all to go out and shovel that icky stuff on my deck not going anywhere...before the next round and below freezing temps.

Just for Lollie Man!..to be able to maneuver out back.  Later.

LANI    Iris still has "got what it takes".   Funny you mentioned the miniature golf.  Brother mentioned it as a possible substitute this year  LOL  I have several friends who have offered to help with planting this year .  I will take them up on it.  Can't imagine how Mike must suffer from the seed powder.  Hope the allergy shot works.

EAGLES   Good for Kris!!

LISA   The story from Karen has been on several news broadcasts AND it should be!!  For the "100th time" maybe today is the day  LOL

Home for a couple hour break.  Tim did not sleep one minute last night.  He shares a common hallway door with another room separated by a regular wall and each room has a door.  The woman next door should not be there as she is severely demented and cries out and screams ALL night.  All day today they have tried to find a room for her or Tim.  He is not a happy camper - THUS his BP last night was 216/ 96!!!  So now they have him on 2 BP pills to try and get it down.  When I left 171/ 79  So there was no going home today.  We were told he will have an angiogram tomorrow AM.  Will go back around 3 and stay for a couple hours.

Clynn any day now I expect to see your AM greeting. Sure hope you and your mom and aunties had a wonderful time together and you
have a safe journey home.

Lisa yeah, keep forgetting about the AC factor  :(  . Sound's like Misty's getting uncomfortable  and the kids are lining up to make their
'appearance'.   Let's hope so.    Kisses, pets and purrs  from me/Maggie to  Misty.

Lani hopefully better days for Mike after desensitizing injection. Tks for update on Harriet/nest.

Bazi great BD greeting for Chris.  Hear's a wave back.  What a coquettish Minnie Mouse.  :)


Tsk sure can empthazie w/Tim.

Going to get some plants this week but not sure who I will get to plant,  i do know it will not be me!
Lisa, hope you get kittens soon!   While Misty seems to want privacy there are surely more comfortable spots in your house.   Thanks for posting for me!   Between this and the little dad in swfl there are some outstanding examples of good daddies!
Would guess clynn will be home tonight!   At least will look for a morning post!   Or at noon since that is when I  was  up  today!   Ugh!

LisaG - You are doing an exceptional job with caring for Misty - you & Jeff are special folks.  :)

Kb - Ordering dinner to be delivered sounds like a perfect evening for Chris' birthday! Enjoy! ;D

Lani - Oh no, poor Mike has terrible allergies especially because of the blooming junipers.  Does 'Claritin' help him at all?  I sure hope he gets relief after the shot he will receive.  Thanks for cam pics!

Hi Baz - Cute birthday post for Chris!

Tsk - That is too bad about the lady who is creating such a terrible atmosphere of crying out and screaming.  Poor Tim, he is NOT going to get any rest while she is there.  Unfortunately, he won't get any real good rest until he goes home.  Thoughts & prayers go out to you & Tim. {{Tim & Tsk}}

Lori - Thank you for the wonderful cam pics!   Thank you for posting that Clynn is home!!  Happy to know you are feeling better. Hugs.

Phyl - Wonderful cam pics!  You & Jim each have a delicious dinner tonight!  Thanks for Amy's blog.

Clynn - Yaaay!  Happy to know you are back home.  Have a good evening and I'm sure we will see you tomorrow! :-*

Karen - Happy to know you have settled back into your home and that you can now get better rest and sleep as needed!


Everyone have a good night & sleep well.  :)

Hello  Everyone  and...
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e0/7c/b7/e07cb7dff7051d855c10eb368d9b7ff2.jpg)

  Now  47F.    Today 67F  breezy. And, tonight 45F clear skies.

Jim will take my table tops (coffee and side tables minus legs),  we loaded last eveing, to the glass shop on Thompson Lane in Nashville, for measuring and hopefully before long I
;ll have new 'tops' for my livingroom furniture.

I suspect our BBs have fledged---so like them, to sneak that in when we’er not watching . Will have to take a snap  of nesting box to confirm. Then they'll attend 'Flight School' for about a week before 'graduation' on our deck rail---I hope.

{{{Tsk/Tim}}} prayers continue for good news all the way around

Lisa hopefully kittens born today.

Hi Karen nice to see your post yesterday evening. Hopefully you can find a 'handy man' to help out w/ things. Good luck w/the plants---costs for such here are doubled---lost some azaleas to that hard frost---my own fault as didn't cover them. Will have to wait and see which revive and which do not.

BL, gorgeous photo !

All in Chat  and I know that #7 isn't viable...been too long.  I've had that aching feeling for sometime and even said as much. My heart is so sad and heavy. Audacity and Jak are such good eagle parents.
When this pair will give up on #7, I'm not sure.

I know. They will. I've been watching this nest for 6 years now and they are my "home" nest, the pair that I was first introduced to on Explore. And I love them very much, but having seen so many losses with them has taken a toll on my heart. We anthropomorphize shamelessly and I have gotten much better over the years in resisting that tendency! But I still feel sad and pained when I watch them incubate, roll and care for an egg that well never hatch. But your comment is very kind and caring. Thank you.

I need some good nest news today...actually a miracle at Sauces. I love this nest so very, very much...second year in a row for them with non-viable eggs.
Some one in Chat said that an egg that doesn't break isn't viable----seems like a loose/loose for Sauces.  :(

Lisa sure hope you have kittens today.  That'd be such great news.

GOOD WINTRY MORNING EVERYONE

32 and feels like 20.  High 39 today.  All winter coats packed away  LOL

LORI  that apple fritter looks great - I'm starving for breakfast  LOL  Thanks for the Decorah gifs  :) and GSB pics - funny captions  ;D ;D  Those eggs are beautiful.   Thanks LORI for letting us know CLYNN is home safe.  Hope she didn't run into the bad weather as she went west.

TIG  What makes it even sadder is that staffing is so minimal.  He has a wonderful Bulgarian male nurse who is as attentive as he can possibly be.  I hate hospitals as well as does Tim.

BL  Would love the challenge of that crossing  ;)  Beautiful scene.

PHYL  Do you put glass tops on the tables?  Too bad about #7   Quite a bit of snow in Decorah

When I left hospital at 5 last night,  I noticed the lady had been moved!!!  Sure hope hubby got a good nights sleep.  Angiogram is at 1 PM today - that should give us some answers...

It's good to be home! Ran into a few flurries on the way home, mostly a light rain. Nothing on the ground. And then my pc wouldn't start! My technical advisor (Erin) made an emergency trip to check it out and decided after checking everything that it was a power problem. He took the hard drives home and checked them out, they are fine. So I will be ordering a new one today and in the meantime will use this laptop. I can't go as fast on this laptop...

karen, good that you are home, you will be getting better and better!

Phyl, I am so sad to hear about #7... Wonderful pictures of the birds and the snow!

tsk, hope Tim is home soon!  I have a very good friend who is from Bulgaria, her name is Vesselina. She calls me her American Mom (I am a year older than her Mom), she got her citizenship last year. She is in Bulgaria now, her Mom has terminal cancer and nothing more they can do. There I am, off on a tangent. Anyway, prayers for Tim, loots of prayers...

Lori, thanks for all the great pictures!  You are a peach, and I love peaches! Hope you are feeling better!

Lani, oh no, Mike's allergies...it's that time again!

Lisa, are you the midwife this morning?st checking... ;D

E4E, Harley and Honey were ignoring me for a while when I got home, but all is well now! Glad to hear Star is keeping on keeping on!

Both eagles were fine and the second one did fly off even though not caught on video.

They are just down the street from the Tower's perch on the water tower as well, so kind of convenient, LOL

Good Morning Beakers

We got some snow in the air yesterday, but nothing stuck - last night we were on the edge of the snow band and temps stayed above freezing.  Windy this morning and partly sunny - expecting 58 for a high before dropping to 32 by morning.  The garden center staff were busy all day dragging plants off of the outdoor tables and putting them inside.  Overall it was a decent weekend for number of people and sales.

Today has lots of great celebrations...
Happy Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day! 🤎   -   https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxiGpHNUyVILEeqxAApuTd72tVj_yCYlIz

Pigged out at Pizza Ranch before cards Sat. night - got 2 games in - won the first by a good margin and lost the second - we had more points, but they went out and had just enough to win. ::)

KB - sorry I missed Chris's BD - so here is a decadent dessert for him...

Could it be Mum L's afternoon tea, today? Most likely :)
L was also in yesterday too.
Sweet greetings from chick for Mum  :-*

Happy Day Beakers!  :)

Welcome home, Clynn!  :)  Oh no, your computer... ugh. Glad you have built-in tech.  Erin is a great help for you.  Love their family selfie at the Monster Jam!  :D

((Tsk)), I'm so glad Tim's noisy neighbor has moved to another room, and hope he got better sleep last night. Though, for sure, hospitals are famous for being too noisy at night!  You think Housekeeping can clang the mops and garbage cans any louder at 2:30am??  ::)  Hope he gets some helpful info from the angiogram, and hope he is so much better that he gets out of that place soon.

OG, yum on the pizza feast, and a good night at cards.

BL, nice. And dry.

Lisa, I guess you are in 24/7 nurse's mode till Misty decides to drop that load!  ;) :-*

Lani, I hope your conference tasks are coming along as expected and you're getting some sleep now. So sorry about Mike's allergies... ugh... that is miserable.  Hope he gets some relief soon!

Lori and Phyl, thanks for nest and cam news!  :)  I need to go to the RRP site and check on the status of this nesting season at DNN. I must've missed out on why there isn't any egg or eaglet there, and what's going on with the Decorah North pair. I don't remember seeing any bad news at that nest this year.

E4E, great news that Kris was able to sell those parts!  Free up some space while adding some nice extra jingle to your pockets!  ;) :D

Karen, have fun picking out some pretty plants for your garden! Is Mickey still there to take you shopping for them? Or are you driving now, or getting rides from friends and neighbors?  You had asked about my Littlest Greatniece. She is doing well, and turned 5 years old last month! Her Baby Bro is 20 months old, and thinks his big sister is da bomb, so he mimics almost everything she does! LOL.

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Lani, I was composing my post while you were posting yours, so I'm just now seeing what you just posted. SP chickis a big fat fluffy baby!  :-* :-*  Sooo glad Iris is home at her nest again this year!  I'm so hoping she will have a better nesting season than the last couple!  :-* :-* :-*

Beakers, just a heads up for those who enjoy watching good stuff about elephants... There is a new 4-episode docuseries special for TV, and also streaming on Hulu, Disney, and maybe elsewhere, coming this Friday and Saturday, on National Geographic channel, called, "Secrets of the Elephants" - there are 4 episodes that I know of.  The first 2 episodes run back-to-back Friday night on cable TV's National Geographic channel, and then Episodes 3 and 4 run back-to-back Saturday night. I've seen a few trailers for it - it's from James Cameron - you know all his stuff is so good, so I'm sure this will be excellent! I think you will be able to watch it online, also, but I can't say for certain when.

Here's a link to some info, with a trailer:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/shows/secrets-of-the-elephants

And a link to the 1 min. 49 sec. trailer:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/shows/secrets-of-the-elephants/video/most-recent/vdka33064401

If you google the title, Secrets of the Elephants, you will find more info about that special docuseries. It will follow several different elephant families in different parts of the world, and show the different behaviors they have in different places. I'm sure it will be excellent.

Thanks, tig...thought you might answer my question...I assumed so given the width/depth but I didn't want to sound well, stupid ya know ;)

Got that walk in with Ollie and the wind was brutal until I got down in the "valley"....shoveled the rest of the snow/ice off the deck and furniture....gotta be ready for when it warms up again....maybe in July!...LOL

Thanks, Oldguy..

tsk - Keep us posted, good luck to Tim!

kb - I am kind of the same way, usually get the same thing when I go to the same restaurants.

oldguy - Glad to hear the snow miss you. 

baz - Yes, Jeff and I are in 24/7 mode.  We do not leave her and Bandit alone, and if we do, it is for a very short time.  We have not be out the house together since my birthday.  He misses grocery shopping, he says.  Believe me, my bill has been cheaper without him shopping with me.  ;D

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update, and great pics of Iris. 

Animal Control texted this morning to see if Misty had her kittens on Friday.  I responded back, with NO kittens!  They were like, oh my.  If she doesn't have them by Wednesday I need to let them know.  I'm guessing I will have to bring her up there again for them to look at.  Misty isn't worried about having kittens, she is laying on the floor enjoying this Spring weather with the windows open.  ;D

I looked up the Decorah North nest history for this year because I had forgotten what had happened there this season. Found it at RRP's official website's DNN Eagles nest info, at: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-north-nest/
It told me there, for DNN, "2023 Nest Records
Egg-Laying
DNF laid egg #1 on Tuesday, February 20 @ 8:46PM.
The Norths’ lone egg broke on March 21 at about 3:00 PM. At least five unknown eagles were hanging out near the North nest, which disturbed this year’s nesting season. We’re waiting to see if the North eagles reclutch."

I had totally missed, or forgotten about, there being only 1 egg laid at the DNN Eagle nest this year, and that it broke. I guess if the Norths were going to re-clutch this year, it would've happened already. Shoot. I hate they won't have any little eaglets to raise this year, and hope they will stay safe and healthy, and return next year for a successful nesting season then.  :-*

{{{Tsk}}}there has to be warmer days ahead. These are just 1/4' thick custom shaped with polish edges that lay (with silcone spacers) on top of the solid  deep dark cherry Queen Anne furniture tops for protection and easy of maintenance. They will add class too.
Sure glad the 'lady' was moved and hopefully Tim got more rest. Indeed, sending good vibes for Angiogram  today. Do keep us posted.   Pets to Lulu.

Hi Clynn glad you're home safe and sound dispite the rain and light snow. Too bad about your laptop though.  Sending prayers for Vesselina and her mom.
Nice family photos of Munchkins and Mom/Dad.

KB luv your owl "It's Spring...Nope" LOL  Great eagle video! "The Foundry" menu sound like a good Saturday night  pig-out!

Lisa  So no nurse duties today---so far.
Hi Karen

Bazi I saw  that " "Secrets of the Elephants"  advert when watching Disney + the other night. Looks interesting

Lani tks for the Iris update and  Lucille's photos.  Tks for Royal updates 'SP; looks sooooo fluffly. Still afraid of that beak. LOL

 Sauces nest: seems ages ago that Dina hatched, fledged and spent  a little while with her Ps , Jak and Audacity before leaveing us.   But in reality it was just 3 yrs.  I think about her often and still wonder how she's gettin on and all.  Any way with Dina I really thought Sauces had turned a corner and egglet success was all that lie ahead.


OG   Hurrah---snow missed you. Sounds like a good card night---pizza is the perfect weekend food. Luscious birthday dessert for Kb's Chris  Love the Tortie kitty.

Lani, I am sure we are all way more worried about Misty's kittens than she is! LOLOL!  So good to see Iris, I love the video of her swooping in on the 8th... and she immediately starts working on the nest after looking around for a bit. Please, no Louis this year!!!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbabyavM1qs   The SP chick looks like a big cotton ball with a beak! Oh, I did bring home some hostas! Got 2 at the greenhouse and 3 buckets of green/white ones from Mom's neighbor Janet, across the street!

Lisa, no little mews is ... no news...

baz, love the picture of Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro chillin! Thanks for the info on "Secrets of the Elephants'. I bet it will be good!

tsk, how is Tim doing today? Hope he got a nap! Yes, a new computer. There is a short or a failed part, it won't start. It's at least 12 years old so I guess its time. It won't be here until the 27th so I am on the laptop until then. And I am slow on the laptop for some reason...

kb, too soon it will be hot enough!

tig, thanks for the link to the Mississippi information, very interesting!

karen, how's it going?  I saw that piece about Murphy the eagle! So sweet, and I loved this picture:

OLDGUY   Hard on nurseries and big box stores to have to move stuff in - time consuming.  don't think Chris would mind that decadent dessert  :o

LANI   Great pic of SP Cutie

BAZI  I already ear marked the elephants special.  Can't wait.

LISA   They had to have gotten the due date wrong to start with.

Long day.  Angiogram went well.  Doc revised a vessel he did in 2019 with a newer type stent and all 4 stents and by-pass graft looking good.  Heart looks healthy with no damage.   However he will now be on Eliquis for the rest of his life to prevent stroke.  Also for a year or less on another blood thinner Plavix.  This is when I'm washing blood out of everything but have it down and a small price to pay.  Home tomorrow AM I think

Thank you all for your prayers once again.

{{{Tsk/Tim}}}  A long  and stressful day for sure.
Good news all in all. Especially condition of Tim's heart.  New stents where needed and by-pass graft in good shape.  ;)  Jim takes Eliquis--I think everyone who's prescribed this  , it's for lifetime. So very glad and happy at outcome. Too bad about the blood stains. But as you said small price.  Hope you both can rest tonight and be more at ease.   :)

tig, I would comment on your post but I do not know anything about that of which you speak! LOLOL0!  But you are thrilled and that is eough!

Lani, dang that Louis! I wonder if his partner has returned yet...  My Mom is on Eliquis too, when she was in the hospital for her back surgery they discovered she had AFib.
 
tsk, I bet Tim will be gllad to be home, and I bet he and Lulu miss each other!

Lisa, I agree with tsk, the epected due date for Misty must be a mis-calculation! Pins and needles!

kb, awww, that dog sure loves his human...  great capture of the snowy!

Phyl, nice sunny good morning! 36 here, high 68 today. Beautiful sunrise!

Wild Bird Sanctuary
Eaglet 23-126 is doing quite fine, as you can see here. Still begging for more food after gobbling down their morning meal!
I’d like to address a few questions and comments made on this morning’s post.
Murphy and eaglet’s enclosure is a good size, with predator-proof walls and ceiling. Rain CAN get into the enclosure, because we want any our birds to be able to experience sunshine, rain, and any other weather they would normally experience in the wild. Over portions of the roof and walls are heavy-duty tarps, and/or solid wooden roof/wall areas for shelter and lees. Yesterday’s weather was just incredibly intense with a tornado right in our town. Also, Murphy is just learning how to be a dad, so he isn’t perfect yet. He has lots to learn!
Murphy was built an eagle-type nest on the ground (he can’t fly), but he took it apart! Then of course, the eaglet wandered out of it. Next step will be to screw some of those sticks into place!
We kinda feel like goalies a lot when working with birds like this. Every bird is different, and behaves differently to situations. It’s our job to react, and make changes as necessary. You just can’t predict everything!
We appreciate all the support from our existing followers and new followers! Running this Sanctuary is not easy, and we struggle most days to make ends meet - making sure 200+ beaks are fed everyday, making sure our talented and worthy staff is paid (not nearly enough), and continuing with our complicated mission!

Good Morning Beakers

I had an early appointment at the endocrinologist, and know you all are dying to know....NO KITTENS!!
::)

Morning Puff, tig, Lani   :)

E4E - Jeff is getting great sleep, me not so much.  He sleeps with a Cpap machine, so I am letting him get the rest, as when he doesn't use the machine he is extremely tired the next morning.

kb - I was so tired last night that I forgot to post.  AC was just texting me, and asking me to send them a copy of the ultrasound so their vet can look at it.  I kinda got the impression that they were sure she would have delivered in the time frame they said when I went last Wednesday. 

Phyl - We are still in the waiting room....pacing!!!  ;D  Great pics from the cams!!!

clynn - I am thinking due date from ultrasound by my vet was wrong, too.  I am now waiting to hear what AC says.  Aww, look at Eaglet 23-126/Rocky with that big crop! 

tsk - Glad to hear things went well with Tim's angiogram yesterday! Continued prayers!

Lani - Morning appt went good, but thought for sure she would put me on insulin.  She said, my A1C fluctuates so much that she won't do that till I get to a 7.5 A1C. Three months ago I was 7.2, this month I went up to 7.4, but have ate alot of Valentine's and Easter candy.  My own fault. 

Per AC's request Misty went back to my vet office for an ultrasound today, but the vet I see was not there, so she saw another vet who had no bedside manners!  I felt like it was a wasted trip, as he acted like he didn't even want to see her.  He says, I can only see three kittens, and that is not a given and we can't tell a due date from an ultrasound.  I said, hmmm Dr. B did her first ultrasound on March 23, said he saw 6 kittens and said she was due two weeks from that day.  This Dr. did not know what to say to that, so out the door I went, and texted AC what they said.  They are getting the ultrasound report today too, so their vet can take a look.

HAPPY DAY BEAKERS!  :)

I got my 1st Shingrix vaccine today, about 2 hours ago. So far, no kickback.  ;)  Cooking an early dinner now, in case I start to go downhill.  No matter if I get any temporary symptoms from the shot, it will be waaaaay better than the severe case (it was the worst case of Shingles my doctor had ever seen, he said, over his entire 25 years of practice) of Shingles I endured in 2006.  Just thinking back to that Shingles illness I went through - I was 53 years old when I got it - gives me the big-time shivers.  And, woo hoo! as of this year, its cost is fully covered for those with Medicare Part D (Medicare Prescription Drug Plan), with $0 out-of-pocket.  Second shot in that 2-shot series is supposed to be given from 2 to 6 months after the 1st shot I got today (for people in my age and health status category), with most recommending that older folks get it closer to the 2 months interval, than the 6 months interval. I will go back after 2 months to get my 2nd Shingrix, for sure.

E4E, I can't talk about my personal Shingles history without thinking of Kris and the post-herpetic neuralgia he has had to deal with after his awful case of Shingles. I hope he is continuing to improve bit by bit, and I so hope he will ultimately get to say goodbye to it altogether.

TSK, that is such great news about Tim's results, and he got a stent tune-up, too. I hope you're both feeling some relief, and that Tim, and you, are both feeling good, and that you're all settled back in at home soon, with Lulu giving Tim his loving dose of kitty hugs, too.  No scary Fright Night fake mouse deliveries to your bed tonight!  ;) :D

Lisa, hrumph!  That's what I say about Vet #3's behavior toward you and Misty, and his report of his findings.  Wonder who is right. Would love to know if he compares his findings with the other vet you saw before at that same practice. There's a big diff between seeing 3 kittens vs 6!!  Even if it turns out he is right about there being 3 kittens, he doesn't need to be so pissy in his manner.  It's a business, after all.  Not to mention it being a business with a big built-in emotional impact for the animals and their human caregivers.

Clynn and Lani, Louis is a cad!!!  ::)  ((Iris))  :-*

Waving to All the Beakers! The oven just went "ding!"  Dinner's ready!  :D

CLYNN  Love the bright happy AM pics.

LISA   LOLOL  I hope this isn't just a fat cat   ::) ::)     What a mess with the vets and US.   Tim is on 3 diabetic pills  Metformin, Januvia and Jardiance.   Hasn't had an A1C is a while as he's afraid...  However in the hospital his blood sugar was in the 140's which he has not seen in forever. ( usually in 170s.) But he was not eating much so we will see down the road.  I would think your doc might try other diabetic drugs before insulin???

BAZI  What nerves did your horrifying and painful case of shingles involve?  So you still needed the vaccine and not rely on immunity?  It laid me low for a day. :P   Hope you can weather it out.

Home by 11;30 . Pretty smooth discharge.  Still waiting to pick up new meds.   Tim went through his mail and I went and modified the drug list he keeps with him.  Took Lulu for her nail cutting and tech also has an almost 1 yr old calico as well who is ALSO a retriever!!!  She showed me a video.  LOL   She is now up to 8.9 #    Can hardly believe she gains weight with all the running and play she does.

tsk, easy for the numbers to go down when one doesn't eat much! poor Tim, he has a sweet tooth if I remember... Was he glad to have Lucy on his lap again?

Phyl, good article on the Bermuda Triangle! I love mysterious things, maybe because I was born only 5 years after Roswell and only 117 miles away. Do you watch 'Mysteries of the Abandoned'?

baz, Sam's has called me twice reminding me to get my second Shingrex shot, guess I willl go Thursday. I had a very mild case years ago, I only went to the dermatologist because it was getting near my eye. I was shocked when the Doc said it was shingles! Took the meds and it was gone quickly!

Lisa, why do people have to be mean...I have my favorite vet, but if she isn't there the others are very nice too!
It willl be interesting to see which was right! It could very welll be the one with no bedside manor! The other one was wrong on the date, and 3 sounds more normal for a first litter...

Lani, I was so hoping Louis would be faithful to Star this year!

Kb - I was a lil frustrating, and stressing for Misty. 

Baz - I agree, he didn’t have to be so pissy.  It just made me get an attitude. 

Tsk - Glad to hear that Tim is home.  You have had a busy day.  I have tried some other diabetic meds in addition to my Metformin, but the pill form like Januvia and Glipazide have made me have lows during the day, that I am just stuffing myself with food to get my sugar back up.  Most insulin pens are DPP4 inhibitors, and those make my Fibromyalgia act up as they cause joint and muscle aches. She was thinking about putting me on a basal insulin. 

Clynn - I too waiting to see which one was correct on how many kitties.  Congrats to Boulder County in egg #1.  I am not a laptop typing fan either.  I am so use to a desktop. 

Have a good night , everyone.

LisaGlad doc appt went well. Some vets think 'bedside' manners aren't required for pets/parent's.  >:(   
  How many times can a due date be wrong? What are the odds that the ill mannered vet is correct---
What a frustrating ordeal you / Misty. Maybe the AC will have the 'right' anwsers. Hope so.

Lani/Clynn  Louis should be banished from the skies so he can't travel then he can keep himself to himself.     ;D

Bazi  Ditto TSK    My late Mother had a scathing Shingles experince-- it was frightening to look at and more!!  However, she got natural immunity and a horribly scarred body .        Jim and I are due our 2nd Shingrix on 4-21.  I'm gonna have to remind him to set this up w/Publix Pharma, again!

Tsk glad Tim's home and all went smooth.   Many thanks for the Lulu report!  I think she's gainng weight because she's replacing what she 'works off' in play or maybe  has a high metabolism that comes with youth.   

{{Clynn}}so sorry about you post. Look at those hens!   Congrats to Boulder County  Osprey- first egglet ;)

Well, I hope I covred everything.   Take out tonight.   Tomorrow s dinner: Italian sauasage (grilled) and peppers/onions w/diced tomatoes and pasta on side. Vino and vino. romaine salad topped and tosses w/ olive oil vinegrett ( Maggie's hassling me about chow.)

LisaG - I feel so bad for all you & Jeff are going thru.  You are such special folks to have changed your way of living in order to take such loving care of a kitty that found her way to your home.  Heaven has a special place for people like you (but we all don't want you to get there too soon)!  Thank you both for being the special folks that you are.

Lani - I know you are still busy with all that stuff with the state convention, but hope you are still able to have some rest with your family and your furry members!

Baz - So happy you got your Shingrix.  I know people have to be tired of hearing of my Kris, so I will send you a pm.

Tsk - I am truly so happy that Tim is home and as comfortable as he can be!  Really wishing all the best for Tim. I'm sure Lulu was happy to have him back!  Happy that you guys will be seeing Tim's brother Tom & Barb tomorrow - that will be good for all of you.

Clynn - Oh no, I feel your agony about losing a post after spending so much time in reading and responding  :o :(   Thanks for pics!


I will now share that we have planned to take a trip to TN.  We booked this vacation last Nov.  When my hubby retired back in Jan. 2022, his employer gave him a 500.00 gift certificate to visit Dollywood and a 500.00 certificate for Graceland.   We will also be staying 3 nights with my Cousin & her hubby (who we are very close with and can't wait to see)!  My Cousin & her hubby moved to Tn from Manteca, CA., 2 years ago after her hubby retired and they are so happy in TN!  We know we are fortunate to be taking a wonderful trip that is partially paid with certificates to those 2 places!  We fly out of SF very early 4/25 at 5:15 am - so we need to head out in the middle of the night.

It is hard to leave my Mom & sis and my little Star.  It is a lead weight and I think about it during the night.  :(

Everyone have a good night & sleep well.

It used to be thought that once you had shingles, you were immune. It's now known that is not correct. It is very possible to get shingles more than once, though I'm not sure just how common that is. My next door neighbor had 2 separate cases of shingles, years apart! She finally got her Shingrix vax a couple of years ago. There's great info about who should get the shingles vax (Shingrix) on the CDC website (and who shouldn't).

Good info page about the shingles vaccine, who should get it, and who should not, and how well it works in different age groups and populations, how long it lasts, and other related info:

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/shingles/public/shingrix/index.html - "What Everyone Should Know About the Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix)"


Also, the shingles vaccine info for healthcare professionals is (This link also includes some FAQs, more info on efficacy and duration of protection, and info re. administering it with other vaccines):
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/shingles/hcp/index.html



TSK, I'm sooo glad you and Tim are home! And yay, Barb and Tom coming, too!  I hope all sleep well tonight. I didn't mention my shingles case being horrifying, but it was very severe. Well you know, shingles comes in varying levels of severity, from mild to wild, like taco sauce. LOL.  ;) :D  My dad's case of shingles was so mild, he didn't even know he had it till my mother saw a rash on his back and asked him about it. He didn't know it was there, and had zero symptoms! They went to the doc, and it was shingles! He was one of the lucky ones who got an extremely mild case. My sister's daughter (who is the Mom to my LGN), had shingles as a toddler, or she may even have been younger! Hers was also very mild, but not as mild as my father's. A lot of people don't know that even very young children can get shingles. You asked where mine was... It's been 17 years and now I don't remember the name or number of the spinal nerve root that my shingles activated and traveled from. I'm guessing from looking at a skin dermatone map that it might have been primarily C5, but I really don't recall which. I think there's some adjacent area overlap in the affected skin dermatomes from shingles, too, from what I gather. I'm sure you know way more about that. I'm just a layman on this stuff, but have tried to learn a little about it. Mine caused the rash and blisters on my right side across my upper back, lower part of neck, I think part of upper chest, too if I recall, and the length of my right arm, which was permanently scarred, though the scars have faded a lot over 17 years. But many of them were in those perfect little circles of nerve prongs that each made blister scars where the nerve endings spread out as they approach the skin's surface. Sorry, layman's description, LOL. It was very, very, very painful, and I was very ill for a long time. Thank goodness I had a complete recovery, and didn't get any of that lingering, awful postherpetic neuralgia, like some do. Anyway, that's why I say no temporary vaccine side effects, even if they were to make me sick for a couple of days, would ever deter me from getting the vaccine. Good news, though, so far, no side effects from my vaccine today, other than some slight soreness in the muscle at the injection site... fingers crossed it stays that way! Oh gosh, did you read all that?!? Sorry... I went on a tangent.  ::)

Clynn, arrrgh on accidentally deleting your post! Grrr!

Lisa, hope you can sleep better tonight!

Lisa, what a rude vet.... 3 kittens or 6 is a big difference, I hope AC will get back to you and let you know what to do...  You take care of yourself too, you and Jeff are the best  :-*

{{{Hugs Baz}}}   take care.

Clynn, sorry about your post.  :(. We've watched Mystery of the Abandoned. I love watching Dunrovin too.

Tsk Glad Tim's home. And that Barb and Tom will be back too...  You, Tim and Lulu have a well-deserved night's sleep.

Eagles, The TN trip sounds like fun! I understand how you feel, your son will be a loving carer to Star. And prayers for your mom and sis too... sleep well  :-*

Good night!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

45 heading to 70's late afternoon.  Partly sunny - rain moving in tomorrow.

LISA  I had to Google "basal insulin" - Never heard of that before. Interesting.

EAGLES   Thanks for sharing about your vacation.  Sounds like a wonderful time and what a generous retirement gift from Kris's boss.  That is a really early flight  LOL  :o :o  Star will be in good hands but I know what it is like to worry.  :-*   Like BAZI said you will be very close to the AEF.  Would make a nice stop.

BAZI   Thanks for the great description of your shingles location.  So lucky to have a complete recovery and is so interesting how symptoms vary  ( taco sauce  LOL)   My SIL  Barb was similar to those in your family who didn't know what the rash was.  Hers was down the front of her thigh.  Went away eventually.

BL   Canoe across water with a fishing pole in hand is good anywhere  ;) ;)

LANI   Sweet goodnight pups nose to nose  :)

PHYL   Perfect Good morning pic. :)  Good stuff in Amy's blog.  :D

Phyl, such a wonderful batch of pictures in Amy's Blog! Our new couple seems to be getting the hang of caring for the little one very well! I hope we have many years with them! Those grackles are everywhere right now, along with the red-winged blackbirds. They kind of overtake the bird feeders! Mother Goose and her 6 eggs! and a beautiful sunrise at the penguin colony... Yes, a new desktop! When I ordered it, it was to be delivered 4/27/or28. Just got an email this morning, it will be delivered tomorrow! Turns out it is only coming from Kansas City (183 miles from here). Yay!

Lani, the sounds at Dunorvin are fantastic!  I have opened the Merlin app on my phone to listen and the number of birds it identifies is astounding!
I'll do it again in a couple of weeks when all the downstairs birds are busy!

Erin called me yesterday just crying uncontrollably. He took Gunner (one of his Boxers) in to have the vet check him because he wasn't eating, acting fine otherwise. He has cancer, evidently it's all over his body, he is only about 6 years old. So I was crying worse than he was...Anyway, he has pain meds and Erin got him some soft food that he is eating, so that's some comfort...The vet says he has 2-4 months, maybe 6, depending on the cancer. Gunner is the one on the right, he is a fawn color, Rome is the brindle color. They are both big babies...
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/91/97/6a/91976a29de04459b89531758d7580100.jpg)

baz, my sister had a medium bad case of shingles years ago, I don't want any part of that! No vaccine back then. The chickenpox vaccine came out in 1995, after Erin and Kelsey both had it. One day shingles will be as uncommon as mumps or polio.  As long as people still get the vaccines.

Lisa, I think there are some vets who are just not cat lovers. And that is not right! I think the owner of the office would not be happy to know how that guy made you feel. Years ago when my Siamese Max was being diagnosed with diabetes, the vet even took him home with him on Sunday when they were closed so he could keep an eye on him. That man really loved all pets, I was sad when he retired.

tsk, finally a day with Tim at home! All will be well!

BL, I have that album! Bustin' Out Pure Prairiw League!

Erin sent me a pic of Bella, do the boots make the outfit?

Phyl - I have had some docs with no bedside manners, and thought...how do you even have any patients at all?  Great pics from the cams this morning.  Love the Grackles in the basement apartment of DNN!

E4E - I do hope you enjoy your trip to TN.  I have visited both places, and enjoyed it.  I know it's easy to say, but try not to worry.

baz - I had a former co-worker that had the shingles more than once, too. 

BrokenLug - Hope you had a nice trip on the Delaware.

Lani - Sweet good night pups! I hope AC does, too.

tsk - Your weather today, sounds like mine....48 with a high of 70.  I did turn on the heat this morning to warm up the house, but it is off now and windows open.

clynn - So sorry to hear about Gunner!  Big hugs to ((Erin & family)) .  I agree with what you said, some vets might not be cat lovers.  The boots are perfect!  Cute pic of Bella.

((tig)) - So sorry to hear of your friend's passing!

Lani - Yes, I am hoping my son can still make it over here to care for Star while we are away on our trip.

Phyl - Like the cam pics - beautiful pic of Stony Point Penguin Colony.

Baz - Sent you a pm this morning!

Tsk - Hope Tim is recuping nicely and that you have gotten some good rest too!

Clynn - So sad to hear about Erin's boxer Gunner. He looks like such a sweetheart - good picture of both Boxers.   Love the pic of Bella and those boots are too cute!! ;D

Tig - Sorry to hear that your neighbor who you grew up with passed away. {{Tig}}

Hi Puff, Kb, OG  :)

LisaG - Wow, that pic says "I am ready to have these kittens"!!

We have to get ready and go out of town for a funeral/celebration of life - going to be about a 1 1/2 hr drive.  This is a relative on my hubby's side of the family.

Lisa, Misty looks like she has a 6-kitten bulge! Or ate a small watermelon! Beautiful morning bouquet! Love the wide open eye look, like she is wondering how she lost her slim body!

E4E, I bet we all know how you feel about leaving Star in someone else's care... your son is the best caregiver, he knows how much she means to you...that is a good thing!

Shawnee Hills Lavender (FB page, located in the Shawnee Natiional Forest Hills of very Southern Illinois!) Check out their FB page, lots of neat stuff...one of those store I could spend hours in.

CLYNN  Great news on your PC arriving early.  Good news is always appreciated  LOL    I never thought to open my Merlin app when listening on line.  Oh no - Such a sad event for Erin and his family. Such a heartbreak  :'( :'(   That will be a first for the kids I expect.  HUGS for them all.   That pic of Bella is the best - It needs to be framed!!!  Love the boots  ;D    Washington Island in Door county has two huge lavender fields .  Now they ferry the products made from it over to the "mainland" where several stores now sell everything lavender.   What a tender shot from Michelle.  :-*

TIG  It's awful to find out someone you actually know has passed.  Found out 2 days ago that a gal in our shawl ministry and who is VERY active at church and my town community was dg  with stage 4 pancreatic cancer - just like that.  I couldn't believe it.

LISA  Misty's eyes are like " get these kittens out of me"  LOL

KB  Looked like mama camel wanted to give him a kiss.  His shoes weren't the best for that rescue.  My feet would have been out of them in a flash  LOL

EAGLES   Tim said he had a great nights sleep last night and is ready to conquer the world today.  Is already out running errands  ::) ::)

Post by: LisaG1967 on April 19, 2023, 01:29:04 PM

tsk - I do believe that is what Misty is saying.  ;D

kb - AC said, the report from 2nd vet was very vague.  Basically, he just mentioned in report the same thing he said to me, and didn't include any ultrasound pics like the first vet did.  They were calling back today, to see if they could get some pics. 

clynn - LOL, she does look like she has a watermelon belly.  I have found some pretty flowers on Pinterest like that.   :)  Great pic of the Decorah family.

E4E - Safe trip, and so sorry about the family member on Kris' side.

HAPPY DAY BEAKERS!  :)


Phyl, I woke up today with zero, zip, nada, NO signs that I ever had a shingrix vaccine yesterday!  I can't even detect any tenderness at the injection site, even when I rub my hand over it! WOOT!  End of that story.  ;D

E4E, I'm sorry about Kris's family member.  Safe travels today. I got your PM, and replied. Thanks. Hope you can let go of the worry, and really get all the relaxation and enjoyment out of your upcoming fun trip.  You have all the bases covered. Hugs.

Clynn, oh no, I feel the sadness and hurt over sweet Gunner's illness and diagnosis. So hard to go through, and a shocker diagnosis, I'm sure.  I'm glad Gunner is able to eat some again now, at least. I wondered if Rome was Gunner's litter mate? It might be tough on Rome, too. Hugs to all.  LOL on that great pic of Bella in her cute outfit! I love it! The girl's got style!  ;) :D  The boots are perfect, but I think each item she has on "Makes the outfit" equally!  :-*

Tsk, I'm so sorry about your friend's diagnosis.  Oh, YAYAY! on Tim getting a great night's sleep and hitting the ground running today!  And you? I mean about the sleep... not the running!  ;)  Hope you slept well, too.  You two really stay on the go!

Lisa! I think I could just pet Misty some and be able to count those kittens-to-be! No ultrasound required!  LOL. One bulge, two bulge, three bulge, four?? Ha ha ha!!  Great picture of her!  You know how young women are about their pictures... I think her look says something like, "You better not post that picture - it makes me look fat!!"  ;) :D  Sweet Misty. I can't wait to hear how she does at learning to be a Mom!  :-* :-*

Lani, I've been seeing so many gorgeous pics and reports of the current SuperBloom in places in AZ, TX, and CA, after all the recent rains. Gorgeous!!  I wondered if any of it is near enough to you to see while it's doing its big bloom. So pretty!

Tig, I'm sorry about your friend.

BL, you crossed the Delaware... must be a big diff between being in The Pickle vs. George's conveyance!  ;) :D

Bella and her new boots---if she likes them and is happy wearing them  ;)  I like the outfit, boots and all.
You got that right on some vets that aren't cat lovers.
All the vets at Maggie's hospital love equally being dog lovers all---she's seem them all and they're so sweet with her.

{{{Tig}}} so sorry for your loss. I remember hearing of classmates who passed when I was in my 30's. Prayers

baz, the Delaware Eiver looks mighty wicked in that old picture...sleep well...

tsk, there were a lot of lavender fields in England, the biggest was Norfolk, 24 miles from where we lived. Just beautiful, and smelled so good!

Good Evening Beakers

Western Iowa is under tornado watch tonight - keep up with the reports tonight Pink - it is expected to calm down later tonight as the front gets to Eastern Iowa, just some thunderstorms - only quarter inch of rain.  We have missed out on the rain so far this week.

Clynn - Yes!  Just knowing that my son can be here to take care of Star makes me feel much better about leaving for our trip, although I will truly miss her.

   Love the Decorah screen shot  ;D
Love the Bella pics!!  You always find things for you guys to do and always have a fun & happy day!! ;D

Kb - That was the kindest vid!!  The way that nice man helped the young camel get up and out of that hole was so exciting to see!! Thank you!

Tsk - Yaaaay! Sounds like Tim is feeling much better!!  Great that he slept well and was out running errands today - very good!! ;D   Yes, this was a memorable day for hubby being able to see many family members that he normally does not get to see.

LisaG - The AC should completely give Misty a checkup, and make sure she is ok and of course not to charge you & Jeff for the exam.

Baz - Thank you so much for kind thoughts for Kris.

Phyl - Thank you for condolences for Kris' relative.   Thanks for link of man who saves eagles by helicopter - amazing!

Hi Oldguy!  Thanks for links  :)

We had a safe trip out of town for the funeral/celebration of life, trip to cemetary, and lunch reception.  It was my husband's cousin's Son who passed completely unexpected about 2 weeks ago due to a heart attack at age 42.

Everyone have a good night and sleep well.

Beakers, for those interested, this week, the FDA and the CDC have approved a 2nd updated Moderna or Pfizer bivalent Covid booster shot for people 65+ if it has been at least 4 months since their last one. Also, some other people with some types of immunocompromise can get a 2nd updated bivalent covid boost if it has been at least 2 months after their last one. They have made the official announcement, but they haven't had time yet to update all the related pages on their websites to reflect that new info... just FYI.

Phyl, I loved that picture of the male Eastern Bluebird in my good evening post, too. I almost didn't use it because of the misspelling in it.  It says "Ya'll," instead of "Y'all."  ::)  That's a common misspelling, but it's one that bugs me, maybe because I think no true Southerner would do such a thing!  ;D ;)  But I thought about you and your Bluebirds when I posted it.

Lani, good gravy! I hope you're planning some kind of special and relaxing time after your conference duties are 100% complete - final report and all!

Karen, I hope each day is better and better, and that you're getting to catch up some with neighbors and friends when you can.  :)  Have you had a chance yet to look for any new plants you were thinking about?

58 and rainy, looks like rain until 10:00 or so. High 68, windy. Typical Spring day!

baz, I heard about the updated covid booster on the news, wonder if I can get it when I get my second Shingrix shot. Or maybe not... I had the last booster in September. I know what you mean about common misspellings and also pronunciations.  I just can't let it go with Illinois and Des Moines when people pronounce with an S at the end of either!

Lani, oh my goodness, that is enough work for an army! You deserve a rest just for listing everything! Bella keeps me busy on Wednesdays! She is nearly always asking for mac'n'cheese at 9:30, but I am still able to change her to Eggos or peanut butter toast! That girl loves her mac'n'cheese!  And chicken fries...with ranch!  Is Mike still in Gila Bend?

E4E, wow, 42 is way too young for a heart attack....but it happens...prayers for Kris's cousin's family.

oldguy, wow, beautiful Super Bloom in CA! I also watched another Blancolirio video on the side about the flooding update from all the snow in CA!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsErD-TO8Zo

karen, how is it going at home now? I bet you feel better already! Micky is so good too help you get all set up at home!

Phyl, love the pic of the lone bird on the Flyway...  Cute little butt on the Two Harbors pic of Mom & little one. And goslings time is near!

tsk, Tim sounds like the Energizer Bunny...hope he does't over-do it! He must feel so much better ater being 'repaired'!

Holy Moly:

Loons are falling out of the sky!...so to speak:

From the Raptor Education Group:
(https://scontent.ffcm1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/342211469_627576418805769_2873740309999912318_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_p720x720&_nc_cat=1&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=8Dj06ogItvYAX9U2VUA&_nc_ht=scontent.ffcm1-1.fna&oh=00_AfCu8XabZMUkAsbej9BjvWdRTbcVhDFpSKBv5OmNkoLy_A&oe=6446793E)
ALERT!!! LOON FALLOUT CURRENTLY in NORTHERN WISCONSIN!
We are getting calls on many loons on land and small ponds the past 2 days.  A few loons can be a normal situation of a loon accidentally landing as a mistake however, due to the many calls received over the past 24 hrs., it appears we have a LOON FALLOUT occuring. That occurs when atmospheric conditions are such that the migrating loons develop ice on their body as they fly at high altitude and crash land when they are no longer able to fly due to the weight of the ice on their body or the interference with their flight ability. The current ice/rain and unstable air currents is a perfect set-up for this phenomena to occur.
At this time loon have been seen on land in Wausau, Gleason, Stratford, Neva, Rice Lake, Antigo, Drummond....other areas may be involved as well.
Loons cannot walk! They will need your help! If you find a loon on land or on a road or cow pasture, realize that it cannot walk. Their legs are placed to the back of the bird and are made for swimming and diving not walking. 
Loons can be difficult to handle.  Call REGI or Loon Rescue (phone numbers below) or your local wildlife center for advice.  Do NOT TAKE THEM TO SMALL PONDS FOR RELEASE!! They cannot fly from small ponds as they need a quarter mile or more of open water to run across and get airborne. 
They have sharp beaks and use the beak for defense.  You can cover them with a blanket to contain them. You can transport them in a rubbermaid container with air holes in the top. Please put towels on the bottom of the container or box to cushion their V shaped keel and prevent injury.
Call REGI at 715-623-4015   or   Loon Rescue at 715-966-5415
Stay safe everyone and let us know if you need assistance. Loon are the symbol of the Northwoods but need our help right now.

This is Wisconsin.

baz, I heard about the updated covid booster on the news, wonder if I can get it when I get my second Shingrix shot. Or maybe not... I had the last booster in September. I know what you mean about common misspellings and also pronunciations.  I just can't let it go with Illinois and Des Moines when people pronounce with an S at the end of either!
...

Clynn, the answer is it depends on which covid vax and the age/health category of the patient.  But, yes, YOU CAN get your updated bivalent Covid booster at the same time as your Shingrix vax - they would usually give them in separate arms - they both are intramuscular shots. I looked it up last night - in the vaccine administration guidance and details on the CDC. I dug deep into the details of all that. LOL. (My tech background forces me to research the details. I can't help it! LOL!) I also found out that when it comes to the updated bivalent Covid booster and the Shingrix shot, for people in our age and health category, you can get them at the same time, or different times on the same day, or on separate days. And if you get them on separate days, it does not matter how many days before or after the other you get them, or in which order. Either one can be given before, or after, the other. That's the official administration guidance to healthcare vaccine givers for those 2 vaccines (for our age group/health category). There are some exceptions for people with certain conditions. Among all the CDC detailed vaccine administration info I read related to that, I also found the Covid-19 vaccine FAQ page on the CDC site answered a person's question about that with this, "There is no recommended waiting period between getting a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines. You can get a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines, including a flu vaccine, at the same visit. Experience with other vaccines has shown that the way our bodies develop protection, known as an immune response, and possible side effects after getting vaccinated are generally the same when given alone or with other vaccines."

Oops, Clynn, I forgot to say... I LOVE the Bella Day pics!  :) :-*

Karen, glad you got some of your plants in the ground. Yay!  :D I bet it looks nice! Yep, watering systems can have a lot of glitches. Grrr.  Hope they're minor. You said you "miss my call." Sorry, LOL, I didn't catch what that's about.

Awww, poor Loons! I didn't know all that about them! That's so sad.

Everyone in the path of the possible severe weather, please stay alert and prepared. Take care, Beakers. Sadly, three people died in Oklahoma last night from the tornadic/severe weather there.

I had a miserable evening/night---my right leg went weak and couldn't lift it from a setting position or lift myself from  much anything. Then there's those gosh awful snap , crackle, pop, crunch and grate noises  and catches from C1 every time I move my head back to front.  Still not much better today---made everything a real struggle.  Every one's booked or on vaca.

Tsk glad B/T are home and Tim didn't over do. Will be happy to keep Beakers posted on Two Harbors, next to Sauces it's my fave to watch.

Clynn tks for Lesly's Blue Jays. Speaking of blue---Jim and I are pretty sure the four have fledged. And, are possibly in 'Flight School'. Remember,
there are two males ,  Dad  CR47and an off spring along with Mom CR44. Jim reports that a look inside nesting box #1 shows an egg. Wether or not it's a left
over from this season remains to be seen. If it's a left over then  we'll remove it and the old nest, clean the box for perhaps  another clutch.

Karen glad to hear you're working in your yard.    And, Mickey still with you?

Lani thaks for Bear STudy report; I 've had a busy day and  still trying to get some things around here accomplished befroe our next shingles vax, prob next week.
So ,it's move it, move it.   

Eagles I've neglected to mention, Jim's middle son, Paul, who had been taking wood working classes, made us a lovely bird house all by hand. It's so smooth and clean. Havent' had time to even take a photo and post. One day  ::)

Tig glad to hear you're doing better

KB so sad about the loons

Lisa Sausage, peppers and onions. It's an Italian dish with diced tomaotes.  I'm getting concerned for Misty---but then if a cat's involved, I'll worry myself sick!

Lovely greetings today.

Baz - Nice of you to post covid info for anyone who might be interested.

Phyl - Stunned yes,  hubby's cousin (the parents) are numb with grief.

Tsk - Good question; I have been wondering if Lani will be attending the convention?  Was Tim still keeping busy today?  Hope he doesn't over do!

Kb - I really hope that rough weather gets finished, and that your area can get some nice sun!  I know Ollie Man would love to take some nice walks! ;D   Kb, wow the story of the Loons is scary!  I did not know that they cannot walk or run.  I sure hope they get the help they need.

LisaG - No worries whenever you have other things going on and you don't have time to post!  We will all be here when you return! :) 

Karen - Thank you so much.

We bow out gracefully on this Thursday eve and just let a true master of his craft roll us into another Friday.

I don't play music in the wild often. Her natural tunes play after dusk usually.

BUT, this humans interpretation of sound has provoked some extraordinary interactions from the wild ones over the years.

Tonight was no different.   :o  Fish rose, mammals gathered, sleeping birds chimed in, the bugs grooved even.  ;)

It was like a we don't belong here nightly party that we crashed.

As the sun rises we'll row off only taking memories

Now 65 F .Today 71F scattered rain . And, tonight 49F scattered rain.



Karen Got it.

Tsk No ER. No Jim not home during the day. Neither is anyone else in neighborhood. It came on very suddenly so I suspect muscle spasms (Rx: magnesium supplements which I take). However, been nigh on a year since we/ve taken the glusosamine/chondriotin supplements---too hard to get wany more and was stuck w/capsules which are loaded with alfalfa---'why' I 've asked. LOL  So painful to lift at upper joint--what a grimace!
So will try to hunt up some in tablets and crush them even that way they get stuck in my 'craw.'

Lani love the desert tonight. Tks

E4E - Are you getting excited for your trip?

karen - That is the kind of yard work I like to do, the deciding on plants.

Lani - Love your good night pic, so beautiful.

kb - The old man cactus is cool. Good grief on the neighbors yard!

Jeff and I were thinking about this yesterday, since we don't know Misty's actual date of getting pregnant, it is all a guess on the due date.  We took her in on March 10th, and we suspected she was pregnant by the size of her belly.  She has been in our home for 42 days now.  After reading all the cat info that AC gave me, it says cats be pregnant 63-65 days and up to 70.  So, I am thinking we MUST be getting close!  ::)

Kb, i think you should think about moving,  a good hoa would prevent that! Can you call the health department?
Tsk, I am heartsick about Sanibel!  I hope the sanctuary rebound.  A .beloit College graduate was responsible for it so there are Wisconsin roots.  Think Mickey will be leaving soon so I  have to set up home health care set up!  Hoped I would not need it but am still a little weak!  Need to move about more!

Clynn pretty 'Good Morning' today; interesting hummer homes; Uncle Dudley wasn't on KTLA  out of Los Angeles in Calif  when I growing up, looks like he was
fun

OG/Clynn thanks for info; I'll say if I had known 'whinning' would have prevented me staying up and on this thing to 4AM today I'd done
so a week ago.  What I desperately need are the 1500/1200mg capsules that I can break apart and mix in  peach Gerbers and then eat. Remember that 6" titanium between my esphagus and spinal column prevents me from swallowing  tablets larger than a baby asprin.  This makes everything so darn difficult for me  >:(

Kb only saw Pilosocereus leucocephalus (Old man cactus) once. Interesting cacti those . You have two choices---move or call city codes and turn them in.  Wishing
you all the best with your neighbors--I truly do!

Lisa when the Misty pregnacy is all said and done you should have a celebration

Tig  :o  a bald eagle within eyesight. Think I'd faint if I had one , like on our deck!

Tsk 'watched pot never boils'   ;)

{{Lori}} sending prayers for your Uncle Russ, RIP.

Kb  sure hope the raptor center in  Sabin, Minnesota,  will rescue this poor BE and take it in! Breaks the heart .

Hi Beakers,

Lani - Thank you for all the well wishes.  Hope all of your family is doing well.

Karen - Good for you in choosing the plants you'd like in your yard - you deserve to have someone else do the planting!

BL - You & Pip have a great trip!  I've always loved Santana - thank you.

Hi Eburg!

Phyl - You & Jim take care  :-* {{Phyl & Jim}}

Clynn - Thanks for Uncle Dudley remembrance, but I have never heard of him. :(  Thank you for the pic and info!

Tsk - We will leave our house at 2:00am on Tuesday bright and early (or should I say 'dark' and early! ;)  Glad that Tim is doing well!!

Kb - That is a cactus?  Oh no, just saw the pic of your neighbors 'junk yard'. :o   I can't imagine anyone having a yard like that. :( ::)

OG - I get my prescriptions from Costco too - really good prices.

LisaG - You are getting ever closer to being a Grandma to your kittens!!  Misty will be surprising all of us pretty soon.

Tig - Wow - seeing a juvie BE - very exciting!!

Baz - Happy Friday to you too! :)

Lori - It is always nice to see you in the Beak! ;D

Karen - Yes - make sure you get help that you need, as you, of course want to stay in your own home.

Today was not a good day around our household.  Last night Star didn't eat her last small meal for the night, and then worse, today she did not eat anything.  It's been so sad to see her not eat any of her favorite things; we tried a few of her favorite treats;  small bits of sausage, small bits of salami, small bits of rotiserri chicken - Nope, she would not have any of it.  She spit up clear stuff a couple of times in the back yard,  and her breathing is labored.  I cried a lot today.  I might not be on here in the morning.

KB   That cactus is crazy different.  WOW  Just googled it and it is native to central Mexico.   Is that your neighbor's yard???  :o :o

Yes, direct neighbor viewable by me whenever I'm in my porch or back yard.

er, um her front yard isn't much better, but I have a row of arbors somewhat blocking my view..driving by, not so much!

Hmm, if only Mexico, I guess Lani hasn't seen one in AZ?..

Kb, no, I haven't! At first glance I thought it was a poor dog that was being rescued and needed severe grooming.  :(

Happy Earth Day Everybirdy.
I celebrated the first Earth Day 1970 on Okinawa.  I think it was a Saturday then too.  Saturday on Okinawa usually meant snorkeling on coral reefs with the widest variety of fish I've ever seen.  Here in AgLand Iowa, not so much!!   I'll be watching nature near Decorah and LaCrosse on Explore/RRP cuz the weather here is lousy and I got chores to do.  If it was nice I'd go to Decorah and down a beer (or two...) at Dixie's.
Had my second (and last! .... ;) ::) ) surgery for Cataracts these past few weeks, and I now can see clearly and have more color in my life.  Didn't realize how blind I'd become until after the repair work, although failing the vision test for my driver's license last November was a red flag!  ::) .  I recommend the surgery to everybirdy if you are told you need it by your eye-doctor.  I'm pretty excited about my birding future and sight-seeing again.

eburg, at my last eye exam nearly 2 years ago the doc told me I had the beginnings of catatacts. Now I think he will tell me at this appt that I need the surgery! My vision has gotten a bit cloudy this last year, and I don't like it!

oldguy, that was a very good video on cats and their humans! The flooding in CA! Oh my!

Lani, goslings today? I remember when we were all watching Eaglecrest, when Wilma's goslings jumped...

Phyl, The Sauces eagles are a beautiful couple!

E4E, hugs for you and Star...one thing you can be sure of, she knows she is dearly loved and so do you...

I spent most of yesterday getting ready for my new pc! I have a computer armoire, it is big, and I haven't emptied it and cleaned behind it for a few years. I have to totally empty it so we can move it.  Egad, it was bad! Anyway, it's all clean and I got rid of a lot o stuff! Now I am ready for Erin to come and set up my new pc!

Happy Earth Day!

Very interesting Eburg- Same experience here. . .

Couple (8 ?) years back Sec of State agent told me to have glasses.  Checkup with Optometrist - Yep it's about time.  He mentioned a few times before that he was watching.  OK It's time - And time went very quickly.  Actually procedure took maybe 20 minutes.  Did each eye a month apart.  Found out ugly plastic glasses are to protect you from the strong light and colors that you no longer were seeing.  The one that hit me the most at the beginning was when I sat down when I got home in front of the computer.  BLUE - Bright beautiful blue.  Who knew?

Hard part for me was the mask-type cover over the face (except for the eye).  I'm claustrophobic.  Eye drop routine/procedure was a pain-in-the-butt, but highly required re infection.

Have a lovely day everyone!  :)

I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry, I've been busy completing this portion of my convention duties.
I closed the Registration boxes lids at 9pm last night and said DONE! 611 badges done, each placed in labeled envelopes, all in correct Registration types by alpha.
Now, I'm driving to Sedona to give the boxes to the Meals Committee. They'll place everyone's meal tickets in the envelopes. For these next two weeks I can get
caught up at home. Work on convention bills to turn in, final reports to type out, excel files to be organized and placed on a flash drive for next year's Badge Committee.
I pick up the Registration boxes from Sedona and take to Registration Committee Chair on May 6th. I pack and get ready for the big event on May 10th thru 13th in Phoenix.
I'll finish my duty by attending in the Registration/Badges/Meals Room for the 3 1/2 days. Then pack Badge items on the 13th, store with next year's convention committee and return
home to my little corner of earth  ;D

tsk--Had to smile about the license question.  :)  I didn't pass the vision test in November, but I had 60 days to get things corrected.  Went to optometrist and got some coke-bottle lenses and signed up for a cataract exam.  With new glasses I got my license (took optometrist's signature to courthouse, got licensed, and signed up for surgery)
Puff--I have 20/20 vision now but might need reading glasses.  And my surprise too at all the color I had been missing on the computer.  Two tones turned into psychedelic wonderment.  Amazing Grace...."was blind but now I see".....Hallelujah!  :) ;) ::)

Hi Beaker friends - It is with heart-wrenching sadness that Star was sent to the Rainbow bridge this morning. :'( :'(  The vet who examined her said that with her age of 15 years, and being so small, and that she had not eaten since breakfast on Thursday and was spitting up liquid, that she was dehydrated and it was probably already affecting her organs.  She was suffering with heavy labored breathing and panting.

RIP my sweet darling precious Star

A nice celebration of Camper's grandson's 13th. His dad, Camper, and several men friends in the church family pledged support for the youngster as he grows to be a man. Mexican food buffet. Yum. Short folding chair tho.  :-[
Wow. We are up to 34 degrees out. Time to be home with my blanket.

Rest in peace, sweet Star.  :-* :-* :-*

(((E4E and Kris))), I'm so sorry for your sadness, and I'm sending my sympathy and many condolences your way. I hope you find some comfort soon with remembrances of your sweet and loyal, Star, and in knowing you gave each other the best of love.  She will be missed by you, I know, and many others.  Hugs.  :-*

Take care of yourselves and give yourself room to grieve..

Yuk, up to only 34 but dressed for total winter earlier with a walk with Olie..

((Karen)), when does Mickey need to leave? I know she has been a great help, and she's a great friend. Glad you will be getting some home health care set up soon. Keep walking and doing your exercies to get stronger, and keep on getting better and better.  :)

Tig, get well soon. I must have missed what you came down with - did you see your doctor about it? Glad you felt well enough to go to the nice b'day celebration for Camper's grandson.

Lisa, watch out for possible severe weather today, and stay safe. ((Misty))

Tsk, glad you didn't get severe weather at your place yesterday. I heard there might be baseball sized hail in parts of the Chicago area yesterday.

Eburg, yay for like-new vision again!  :)  ;) :D  LOL, I couldn't resist. I need to get my eyes checked. I would love like-new vision again, too!  :D  Hope you can get to Dixie's in Decorah for one of their brews soon!

Clynn, I hope you're up and running again on your new PC soon! Oh, let the "setting Settings" begin.  ::) ;) :D

Thank you Beakers for all your much appreciated messages regarding my little Star.  Oldguy, you sent the most beautiful poem and had me & hubby reaching for the kleenex.  Thank you.

Lani - Thank you so much for your prayer list;  I know you have Star listed.  :-*

Oldguy - Thank you for the link of Gary Moore - the sound of Santana.  All good links.

Eburg - So happy that you have much better vision these days - good for you in pursuing the issue!!

Clynn -   Thank you for what you said about my little Star.  :-*    Good for you in clearing out the stuff and making room for your new PC!!  BTW in case you need cataract surgery, I bet you will have good results!

Phyl - Thank you for all pics - really cute category 3 purricane! ;)

Puff - Sounds like you had successful eye cataract surgery - right? :)  Hopefully so!! :)

Lulu - Cute sweet face Lulu!

LisaG - Thank you  :-*

Tig - Thank you so much  :-*

Kb - Thank you Kb (for Star).   We will leave for the airport Tuesday morning @ 2.00!  We need to go to bed early that evening to try and get a couple hours of sleep before heading out.

Lani - What a huge commitment you've had with the preparing of the state convention!  So, it seems that right after Mother's Day, is the time you will finally get to take it easy!

Tig - Thank you so much!  I am happy that Star got to see you & Camper in person! :)   Congrats on the celebration for Camper's Grandson's 13th!  34 degrees - I would have my warmest coat & boots on!

Baz - Thank you so much for the darling condolence for my little Star.  :-*

Kb -   Thank you so much for condolence - much appreciated & thank you!  Bummer you had to blow off the neighbor's ash tree stuff, but as you mention, now it looks better from your window!

Og - We thank you so much for your sympathy & condolence posting for our sweet little Star - of course it sent us to the kleenex box. Thank you so much for the lovely/beautiful/heart touching poem.

Karen - Thank you so much for your kind words.  :-*

Puff - Thank you for your kind thoughts, but I did not receive a pm from you - wonder what happened? ???

LisaG - Thank you so much for the beautiful poem - so comforting and very appreciated. :-*

Tsk - Thank you so much for the Rainbow bridge - it helps to settle me a little bit.  This is a rough evening.

Clynn - Thank you so much - I just can't quit the flow of tears today. I miss my little Star so much that it hurts.   Like the Decorah pics!

Phyl - Sweet and much appreciated condolence :-*  I love what you posted.  Thank you for mentioning Samantha, Mitch, & Mike.    Enjoy your burgers for dinner tonight!!

We wish to thank ALL the Beakers for their much appreciated condolences for our little Star.  It really is a terrible, rough day to get through, and then you have to get through the next day . . . .
I packed up a bunch of stuff to be donated to the SPCA.  The rest will be thrown away.
It is so lonely without our 3rd member of the family here.  I will never have another pet.  It is too devastating when this time in life happens. :'(

A blessing in disguise...the last egg broke maybe  due to age and /or  non-viability, sometime  Friday.   Again, from what I can
gather, Chat is confusing, he left the nest and Audi returned discovered the broken egg and devoured what she could and moved the broken pieces off to the side.
Sometimes Jak will be in the nest and other times he'll roost in their favorite tree with Audi.
They are wonderful bald eagle parents and so sad the've lost so many egglets/eaglets. But, they'll return and will have more eggs and eaglets.

Sleep well Sauces family. You're so very loved by all who  know you.

Phyl, love the sleep well message to the Sauces eagles...thanks for Amy's Blog! Your good morning cows are so cute! I am also 'lost in the translation' of BL's post. Maybe it will come to us ventually...

Lani, your Bandit (and Barkley), my Bogey (and Max & Emma).... They never leave our memories and we can still shed a tear thinking of them. And we do have the good memories, which far outweigh the pain of letting them go... Hope you are getting some well deserved rest!

E4E, a vacation i just what you need right now...I think Star knew... so have a good time, she will be watching you...

T40, going to watch your videos now!

Screen shots from this morning at our favorite nest!

Dale Hollow Nest - DH17 and DH18 Caught in Fishing Line - 4/23/23

Prayers needed for these 2 precious little ones... they have a chance at a good life if they can get free. Prayers for you sweet juvies  💜

River trying to remove fish line for DH17 & DH18... :-\
(https://i.gyazo.com/8bf30a61cc266ad6447bbb2024d77045.gif)

Both eaglets are now entangled in the fishing line. River tried to pull it off, but was not successful. DH18 appears to have some injury to it's foot and some swelling. Both eaglets are still being fed, but it is unlikely that they can remove the fishing line on their own. DHEC has stated many times that they will not interfere, but there is a lot of pressure to intervene. Local media and USFWS are aware of the issue. We can only hope that they can find a way to rescue these eaglets before the damage is irreparable. Please play for these eaglets. https://youtu.be/tHPJFh5a3ckvia paulk

Phyl - Cute morning gif!  Great reading on Amy's blog - the goslings, of which I did watch last year!

Tsk - It will probably be good to go on our trip and see my cousin & her hubby and do some sight seeing.  My son (who was coming to stay with Star) is hurting too, as he was very close with Star. 

Kb - Sorry I forgot to answer your question; we need to leave for the airport early Tuesday @ 2:00am!

Clynn - Thanks for the reminder of your Bogey, Max & Emma.  I know Lani and probably everybody here has gone through the pain of losing a beloved furry member of the family. :(   Love the Decorah pics!

Lori - Oh no - DH17 & DH18 caught in fishing line - sure hope somebody goes up there to try and help them (although as we all know it won't be easy).

Thank you Beakers; Tig, Baz, Kb, OG, Karen, Puff, LisaG, Tsk, Clynn, Phyl, Lani, Weasel, again for ALL the wonderful, kind condolences - I really appreciate each and every message.  Thank you Blschue for your pm.

"come this way, my little one"...

Morning all...

Ugg, on the Dale Hollow nest....although it's been quite awhile I remember public pressure, I even called the Governor's office, as did others, a rescue of a chick from one of our nests? was eventually done..In my mind, since these online camera views are often monetized eventually, that's the least they can do when it becomes obvious that without intervention things will go badly.

Thanks, Eagles4....I hope you can enjoy your trip...

Andrew is coming here tomorrow to help fix my fence that was broken either by the taking of my boulevard tree or my neighbor's snow blowing of heavy ice/snow on top of it?...both rails have dislodged from the posts..
As well as so many other broken things. I will have to spend some time today, just getting ready for him.

tsk - Beautiful flowers in your morning greeting.

Phyl - Cute morning greeting.  Yes, a blessing in disguise.  I hate to see the eagles keep sitting on a non-viable egg hoping it will hatch.  I thought for sure we would see a pip by now on the geese eggs.

BrokenLug - I am guessing you had that wild weather yesterday. 

Lani - Love your good night pic.

{{E4E}}

T40 - Thanks for the videos!

clynn - I love your Catty Earth Day pics! Beautiful pics from Decorah!!! 

Lori - How sad that DHEC will not intervene to help!  DH2 is eating very well!

kb - So glad that you have Andrew coming to help.

Hi, Beakers.  I used to watch the Dale Hollow nest but now I just follow their Facebook page.  It's a really sad situation at their nest right now as you know.  Here is an excerpt from a post on the page two days ago.  I've seen this same info. about their no intervention policy posted a number of times in the past.

"The nest location is not accessible. It is located on a steep hill approximately 90 to 100 feet in the air surrounded by a forest of other trees. It is viewable from the river by boat with high powered binoculars and camera lenses.  DHEC is only permitted to be there to service the cameras when the nesting season is over and there are no eagles present.  The camera's are located way above and off to the side of the actual nest structure. When they are up by the camera's they can not reach the nest. There is no way to climb this tree from the bottom without risking the physical structure of the nest. The risk to humans and damage to the physical structure of the nest and the eaglets is very high. There is no ability to get in any type of boom equipment to this nest."

Howdy Beakers!  :D

It's one bee-yu-tee-ful Spring day here!  :D

Had some stormy weather last night, but nothing really severe here and no damage... rotating storms not far away, but last I heard no bad damage there. I hope all the Beakers were safe from stormy weather - sounds like it from what I've read so far.

BL, I saw on TV about some scary severe storm 'round about NJ way, not too far from some abodes there I have heard tell about. Don't have any idea where you and Pip were camping, but sounds like your storm was a frightful humdinger. Glad you're safe. Hope Pip had a spare pair if skivvies!  ;)

AND, I hope you ask him what he thinks about that?!?!?!  ;D  Did Bandit and Jeff and you all pace together?  Hugs to you all, and let the wild and crazy kitten fun begin!!!  :D

Good morning Beakers! I have quite a few pages to get caught up with. I was very tired last night, ended up taking a cat nap on my desk and did not finish a post.
It'll take a couple of days for me to catch up with sleep. LOL!

Lori, Happy to hear the good news of your uncle.....  prayers for Dale Hollow eaglets  :'(

Clynn, a fresh clean computer armoire for your new pc. I bet that was a chore. I pray the goslings have an easier time this year. Such indecision for the longest time. But, it is the most precious moment to be able to watch.  ;D :-*

Tsk, I read your post about Barb seeing CROW and Sanibel, very sad  :'(. ... I've seen their facebook pics, they're busy as can be and looking forward.... sweet pic of Lulu, love her coloring. 

T40, great videos... the dog protecting the child was awesome... James Webb, I shared that with hubby.

Kb, I just saw your pic of your neighbor's backyard. I wonder if they had all that hidden under the snow this winter.  :o I'd hang a screen to block the view of their backyard. UGH. Who wants to see that when stepping outside... amazing video of Badger and Fox.

{{{Karen}}}  bless {{{Mickey}}} ... will she return later this summer?

Clynn, I wonder if my hummers would use the darling Hummingbird nest you posted yesterday. They build their nests in the pine junipers I can find them at all... I don't think Uncle Dudley was available on Hawaiian stations. CBS was the only channel available for awhile. Then I remember when we had two channels, NBC followed... what a sweet pic of DH2 and mom taken by SMB. That reminds me of Minnesota Harmon when he was returned to the nest and his mom's joy when seeing him again. I'll never forget those days.. I pray Harmon's is having a happy life!

MNBound Eagles Reunion Mom & Dad Return to the Nest 5-7-12

May 7, 2012
Dad & Mom return to the nest and feed Harmon. Dad arrived at the nest's edge first. The eaglet spent the previous night alone on the nest. Harmon was trapped in the nest, weak, badly bruised with open wounds infested with maggots and removed for treatment on May 4. The eaglet was placed back in the nest on May 6 at 430pm. The adults didn't return to the nest until May 7 at 700pm.

Hi Beakers…..

We have 6 kittens!!! 

One solid black, two grey tabby, and 3 that look like Misty 😍

Misty had a hard time delivering kitten #5, as it was the biggest one at 3.70 oz.  It was the solid black one.

Lani - No, not hidden under the snow...I shoveled snow off my decks all winter so I knew what was out there....this is a common recurring nightmare with different objects depending on the time of year.

I can't hang anything out there through the window as i have a gas grill very close...but, I view this when walking in my back yard or even just taking the garbage out.....not possible to hide the view.

Oh Lisa, so happy to hear you and Jeff are Cat Grandparents! And I bet Misty is doing fine, being a great Mama to the little ones! I just read, a 7th one and a little one at that!  They are all so tiny and beautiful!  I found this online, it may be helpful.

'One of our cats just had 4 kittens yesterday morning and they are so cute  This is my first time with this experience so I'm a little clueless about how to care for them (mama and babies). There is one runt who is about half the size of the other 3 and doesn't seem to be able to nurse well. He has a hard time searching for a nipple and doesn't seem to understand how to latch on. Plus since he is smaller he gets trampled and pushed under by the other kittens. Last night my hubby was able to help him get nursing and he did ok once he got going, but I'm worried that if we aren't helping him he's not going to nurse much and since he's already so small I'm worried he will not do well. Is there anything I should be doing to help him more, or will he just learn? Also, the mama cat sometimes rolls over onto the kittens and the bigger ones can crawl out but the runt just whines, I'm afraid that she might smother him, is that possible? She does care for him, and is always checking on him if I hold him to make sure he's ok, so I think she would know if she was hurting him. And the mama keeps coming into our kitchen as if to find something else to eat, could she maybe need something else to eat besides her normal cat food?'

This was the answer from The Catsite:
Firstly, you should be feeding the mother cat kitten food. I hope your doing this. Also, feed her as much as she wants, because the babies need it as much as she does.

A lot of members will suggest that if the 'runt' doesn't get any better, then to start bottle feeding him/her with KMR from the vet.

As caring goes, just make sure they are warm, and that you change the blanket every 1-2 days. And keep an eye on the runt, don't leave it too long until you put him on KMR, they can deteriorate very quickly.

I am posting on my new computer! Now I have to put everything back together so I can get back in the groove... Someone asked what kind of computer, it's Cybertron/CLX. It's a gaming computer, that's what Erin picked for me last time, he likes the gaming computers best. I am certainly not a gamer, but it has everything he thinks I need. Plus this one has a light show on the front, and a little remote co I can change the light show colors and patterns...  ::) ::)  Windows 11.  Wonder what has changed...

Lani, the SP chick is looking so grown up...the feathers are so white, but she has a bit of a dirty face! LOLOL! I do so remember sitting on the edge of my seat at work waiting for Harmon's parents to return! Wasn't it over 24 hours? They were just about ready to go up the tree and take him back out of the nest...They both finally showed up and both started feeding him until he was stuffed, and Mama was kissing him all over...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bopzSH7iRos Thanks for the memory videos!

baz, all those kittens climbing the Mt. Everest sofa!  ;D ;D ;D

Phyl, I think I will get some of those fishies for Harley and Honey to play with on the deck...once it is screened in!

clynn - Thanks for the online post you found.  The girl from AC has been in constant contact with me all day, and has been very helpful in answering most of my questions.  The first 4 came out very easy for Misty, but when it came to the 5th, she started howling, and almost panicking.  She did the same for the last one.  She did the same thing about an hour ago, and we were like OMG, please don't let it be 8 kittens!  Thanks for posting my pic of HM & DH2  :-*

tsk - She had the first one under Bradley's bed, just like we figured she would.  I had a feeling it would be today, as she had been pacing and very ansty this morning.  As soon as Jeff heard her, he lifted up the mattress, grabbed her and the kitten and moved them to the lil birthing pool I had set up in Bradley's room.  The scale came from AC.

The last one, we think has finally started to nurse.  It was making us nervous as it wouldn't latch on.  We called AC and they told us to come up there and get some formula just in case.

The American Eagle Foundation has studied the situation at Dale Hollow...They have a plan. Have offered to rescue the eagle and have a rescue team already assembled.

Crossing my fingers they will be allowed to continue.

I have read further they refused the help from 2 sources even though both saw the video, know the terrain etc.

Please don't post about this nest anymore....thank you. I have no words for people like this.

Update!!!!!!

We have a tiny 7th one, another solid black one and trying to get it to nurse.

OMG!
Poor Misty---so exhausted.
#7 is the runt I bet.

You might have to get a bottle and some kitten formula and bottle feed it as I'm afraid the others will push it out. At least I hope not.

I've just skimmed thru the posts today.  So likely missed a thing or two.

Lori and all who posted about other nests many thanks for the updated. It seems that our nests will be suffering losses.
Sending prayers to St Francis and St Catherine for all the wildlife and cats.  Animals have a most difficul life and I know The Creator has provided for them. And, us as well. But still, their's is most difficult compared to ours.
Extra prayers for Dale Hallow nest  which  is near me. I follow this one just don't post.

For all those recovering from illnesses---get well soon!

Clynn I am considering getting a couple of those fishies for Mags. I think they're $10 a pop? Is that what you understood?

Maggie sends her purrs to  Beakroom pets.

Kb - I hope Andrew gives you some good help tomorrow.  Thank you Kb - I will do what I can to try and enjoy our trip, but I just wish that Star had stayed healthy and that my son would have been here with her.  That would have been the perfect situation.

Lori - So happy that both your Grandmas are doing good and glad your Uncle is out of the hospital.  Thank you so much for your PM! :-*

LisaG - I looked ahead in Beak and saw that Misty had 7 kittens!!!  Now you have a little work cut out for you in looking after the 'runt' small little one.  I have no doubt that you & Jeff will do all you can.  Go get you some much needed rest!

Tsk - I can't hardly look at those poor youngsters tangled in fishing line. 

Lani - Love your cute 'shout out' for the kittens!!  Thanks for Albatross pic & info!

Tig - Hope you & Camper had a wonderful belated Easter breakfast with Camper's family! :)  Hope the food was delicious!

Karen - Awe, such memories you must have of those precious members; Putter, Bogey, & Sassy.  I remember Sassy!

Ginger - Good info regarding the DH nest.

Baz - Nice that you had a beautiful Spring day!

Clynn - Good advice that you saw on line that might help LisaG  :)

Phyl - Yeah - Maggie might like a few of those fishies! 

Beakers have a good evening and sleep well.

Hi Beakers…..

We have 6 kittens!!! 

One solid black, two grey tabby, and 3 that look like Misty 😍

Misty had a hard time delivering kitten #5, as it was the biggest one at 3.70 oz.  It was the solid black one.

Not the greatest pic with the color of the blanket but here is one.

{{{Lisa}}} such sweet precious babies. Hugs to you and Jeff! What a day you both had, especially sweet Mama Misty. :-*. Congratulations, get some rest, I pray everyone sleeps well tonight... prayers for the littlest B&B kitty baby too.  :-*

Clynn, great info for Lisa. I wondered what to do about the littlest one too. I've watched Jackie on Friends of Feline Rescue Center spend the most time giving extra feedings for the littlest one.... I didn't know about a gaming computer.  ??? ... Do you like it?  ;D .... MN Bound Mama and Harmon that was the best good night video. I cried tears of joy along with many hundreds that was watching too.   :-* .... love the owlets... another sweet Decorah pic.

Tig, Camper's is spot on!  ;D

{{{Hugs Eagles}}} thinking of you  :-*

SED Phyl, I'm thinking of getting one toy fish too.  :)

Prayers for the Dale Hollow and Sauces eagles.

Good night!

Puff - I counted 8 teats!

Lori - Thank you for the cute Congrats card!

Lani - It had been a day for sure.  Very surprised with #7, as it came hours later after #6, and Misty even acted like she was going to have another one, but thankfully never did!

oldguy - Thanks!

E4E - I wish I could say that I got some rest, but nope.  I slept in the room with Misty and the kittens and boy they were active last night.  Bandit tried to get in, Misty wanted out, and one kitten was constantly meowing.  LOL

Phyl - #7 is doing great.  I was in constant contact with the girl from AC during the whole delivery process.  Jeff went up to AC got some formula and we tried to bottle feed #7, but it would not take bottle, so I squirted some formula on my fingertip and rubbed it on its mouth, then out it to Misty and it finally latched on!  Great cam pics!

tsk - We are exhausted!

Misty says, are all these really mine?!?!

{{{Tsk and Tim}}}

Tig, I hope you're feeling better today  :)

{{{Karen}}}

Oldguy, good cards and I bet the dinner was delicious! Thanks for videos.

Kb, I've never seen that type of sea worm  :-\  ... looks like an over ripe potato! Have a good day working outside. Glad Andrew is able to help.

Clynn, You say that now, let us know when you start playing online soccer!  ;D ...  Misty's babies are adorable. If I was closer when they are able to leave mom, I would take one too.... sweet pic of Decorah mom and baby... funny squirrel pic, our cats and pups would go nuts if a squirrel did that on our window.  :o

Phyl, pretty sunrise, sweet pic from Two Harbors .... watching Mother Goose cam on family room tv

Lisa, awww Misty looks well, sitting up bright and alert.  :-*. Sounds like night was a regular nursery ward. Hopefully, you'll get a cat nap in today, and Jeff can do the duties.  ;D  .. I love the photo of Bandit glaring at Misty. Looks like he's saying "What have you Done!!!" What an awakening Bandit has had! A bachelor's life no more!!! LOL!  ;D

Hi Beakers…..

We have 6 kittens!!! 

One solid black, two grey tabby, and 3 that look like Misty 😍

Misty had a hard time delivering kitten #5, as it was the biggest one at 3.70 oz.  It was the solid black one.

Not the greatest pic with the color of the blanket but here is one.

Lisa, awww, way to go Misty!!!  :-* :-*  Great picture of her with her 6 little newborn kittens!! She looks worn out! For good reason. LOLOL. I bet you and Jeff are, too! What does Bandit think about this situation?  :D :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Clynn
The gaming computers are also very good for those that do video/photo work.  I have used gaming computers for at least 5 systems - I do some games, but not the games that require the speed/memory that a gaming computer has, but it does help on networks and browsers.  I keep 2 screens of Chrome open with about 20 tabs each - with one tab an online game that is always running.  My cell phone is linked to the computer - I can read and respond to text messages with the computer and also use most of the apps from the computer.  I never have any delays or slow downs.

The biggest changes on Windows 11 are;
startup/shutdown - hibernation is turned off by default, but can be activated.  Took me some time to get use to where to go on the screen to shut off the computer.
Security - much higher level of security - makes it less vulnerable to hacking/virus
Windows Settings tabs - lots of changes on where items are and how to use some of them.

For the most part you will not see any differences on running browsers or other programs.

Enjoy

We have a tiny 7th one, another solid black one and trying to get it to nurse.

Lisa, awww, so sweet! A 7th surprise kitty!  (((Misty))).  :-* :-* :-*  I'm not surprised. That's exactly what happened when my adopted preggers cat had her kittens! We thought she was through after delivering 3 kittens, and then over an hour later, she had a 4th kitten, after we thought she was all done!  I'm posting as I read, so I still have more to read to get caught up on posts. I hope all are doing well at your house! Hugs, and congrats! to All there!!! :) :-*

clynn - Thanks for posting my pic!  LOL, on the pic from Berlin, MD!  Jeff had one do that while he was in the bathroom one Spring day.  ;D

kb - Thank you, and thanks for being my messenger!

oldguy - Yay on your card win!  Spaghetti meal for the card players sound good!

karen - Thanks  :)

Lani - LOL, yes it felt like a nursery ward last night.  I hope I can get a lil more sleep tonight.
Congrats to Harriet and Swoop on first egg!

Puff - LOL, still working...35 years and still going!

baz - All are doing good!  Jeff just weighed each and the biggest is 3.99oz and smallest which was the first born is 3.35oz.  All the others range in weight in between there.

Puff--I auditioned for the band in boot camp (I was 2nd chair all NW Iowa band member on snare drum in high school and a music major at Iowa State when I got drafted) and was told by the MCRD band commander that he'd request my assignment.  But when we were assigned our MOS (marine occupation specialty) I got electronics and the band assignment went to my squad leader, who auditioned for the flute.
A few months later I saw him marching with the band at MCRD, playing the bass drum!!
It seems his Dad was an Army officer and had pulled strings to get him the billet.
That's when I learned the explanation of that old saw...."It's not who you know, but who you...."
Probably tmi for my 501st.  ??? ::)

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


Woot! I got my additional bivalent covid booster this morning! Yay! (They were just approved by the CDC last Wednesday for people 65+ who had their last covid shot at least 4 months ago - and for some immunocompromised people who had their last covid shot at least 2 months ago, I think). I got my last covid shot - the first bivalent covid booster - over 7 months ago, the first week of September, when they had just been approved and recommended by the CDC. I've been wanting to get this additional booster ASAP since I am going on a trip in the near future to visit a friend and her family, and I wanted to have some more recent immunity to covid before I go. Today was the first day I could find anyone giving it since the new guidance went out for it.  My county health department started giving it this morning, and I got there "posthaste!" with my sleeve rolled up and ready! LOL!  It's still free, with no out-of-pocket, whether you have any insurance or not. But that will be changing in the not-too-distant future.



:-* :-*  Hugs and Congrats all around for a job well done, Misty, Lisa, Jeff, and Bandit...

Lori - Thank you for your beautiful condolence - that is so true, that she was my sunshine. :-*   Such a cute congratulations on the birth of the kittens for Misty, Lisa, Jeff and Bandit! :)

Phyl - I sure am hoping for the best and safety for the DH eaglets.  Thank you for cam info and pics!

LisaG - Darling pic of Misty and her little ones - too cute!!  Nice that you got the tiniest one to nurse from its Mama. :)  Maybe tonight you can get a little more rest than last night. :)

Hi Tig  :)

Clynn - Love your cute morning gifs - so cheerful!  Thanks for posting Robin's beautiful pic of HM, HD, & DH2.

Something about little feathered babies always seems to turn up the interest of After The Fledge and room arrangements.  I had had only 2 people contact/mention it to me until today.  With all the excitement yesterday and today things are getting busy.  Now I'll have to start spreading the news.  Yes, I do have rooms held.   I'll post the info this weekend.

(3 yrs.)  As for a career in music....well, I did music again on the GI Bill but decided against a career after student teaching at the high school level.  Considered staying in at the elementary level, but then I bought a house, started working for a paycheck, and got fired by the band I was in.  The rest is a long story.  ;) :)

LisaG - Hope all the kittens do well - especially the tiniest one!

Everyone - Hope everyone & spouses and significant others all stay well.  Take care.

Lani - Try not to overdo yourself with the state convention.

Thank you to all who have posted notes of kindness & sympathy for my little Star - so many nice & thoughtful folks here.


I will check in and post when I can.  We should be back home late evening on May 6th.

E4E, you will soon be on your way, hope your trip is good and your stay is wonderful! You and Kris enjoy yourselves!

Phyl, read Amy's blog, I didn't realize RRP had so many other cams going, I guess I haven't looked for a while! 'all by myself', perfect line for the loan eagle! And yes, I bet Lisa's house is full of meows! Would love to visit!

Lisa, hope you and Jeff are getting some rest now, sounds like Mama has everything under control! So glad to hear that Little #7 is doing well! Thanks for the weight ranges, looks like  there's not a huge range of difference, and no wonder Misty looked ready to burst!

Maybe there is a puppy available for those goslings once they jump?

Yes, Andrew fixed my decorative fence yesterday, replaced some tiered garden wood and screwed down. The new outdoor faucet is actually a problem...he fixed the end of my reel hose, but the brand new, well, one year old faucet is shooting water...Have the expensive local plumber I paid to replace on the books for Thursday to repair.

He will return to fix my concrete patio under my cabana and replace the back of my shed with tin roofing rather than siding....discovered squirrels have punched 3 holes on the back side...found one inside when I opened the door....ugg..I think birds may have started the holes and the squirrels finished the job.
I have roofing for the jacuzzi I was going to have him haul away but now seems more reasonable to screw that on the backside instead.

snow is in the forecast for April 30.....why of course >:( >:(

I still am going to mulch/mow on Wednesday and drop crabgrass preventer....as I have mother nature's rain for days following in the forecast ending with snow....no need to turn on the sprinklers that way.

Here's a question/thought that popped into my head while waiting for gooselet #6 to make its appearance -

We know there are maaaaany geese in the area, we hear them all at sunset when they move to their sleeping quarters in masse- (noise).  Lots and lots of geese!
 And,  MG and FG can't be the only mated pair.  So then how many pairs are there, and shouldn't they also be jumping and swimming in Trout Run?  With all the potential gooslings the waters should be standing room only.  ???

Lani, clynn and all .....I thought we would have a better night, but it was about the same.  I  have a call into AC, as around 9pm, Misty jumped up started meowing/screaming, turning in circles and then laid on the kittens.  She did this about three times before she finally relaxed.  She did this same thing when she delivered #5 and after #7.  After #5 is when we did not see a placenta come out with that one.  I was a lil concerned, but AC said it should come out with #6, nope never came out with 6 or 7.  I sure hope that is not causing her discomfort.  She is eating and drinking, but have noticed not really using litter box all that much.

E4E - Enjoy your trip, and will be looking forward to your pics!

Phyl - I would love to keep a kitten, but I am not sure how Bandit would feel with another cat in the house.  I think he already feels he has lost his Top Cat position, but he will always be my #1!!!  Great pics from the cams!

clynn - Great pic of lil DH2!

tsk - Sounds like yucky weather for you today!  I hope you don't have to go out in it. 

kb - Hope that forecast is wrong for April 30th.   

Puff - That is a great question!  Cams have been so focused on DH2 and MG, that we have not got a look anywhere else lately.  This morning, cam op did show a pair of geese on 1st bluff by Trout Run Rd. Lord, can you imagine that leap??

Phyl & Lani - After I posted, I did receive a call from AC, and also from MY vet, not that other one in the office!  They both told me the same thing about the no passing of the placenta, that it should be ok and dissolve in her and come out when she goes to bathroom.  They both said, that since she is a first time mom with all these kittens, she has had many changes happen to her and just might not know what to do and is scared.  They also said, it was ok for her to use her old litter and not the pellet one if she felt more comfortable doing that as long as I wiped her down before getting back by the kittens.  She is eating and drinking, so they said that was a good sign. 

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Phyl on April 25, 2023, 11:08:52 AM

Lisa thank goodness and both agree (good) .  It sounds like AC/Vet think that  otherwise all is 'normal'.  Poor girl {{{Misty}}}  I'd say---. some changes are going on within her.  Whenever you can, I'm sure you're comforting and talking to her. You/Jeff have done wonderfully with her.  And, yes Bandit needs to be considered as well---from what you say, I think he's being a good fella about it all.

Puff, great question. Last year the Mother Goose cam was able to focus on another geese pair on the bluff across the stream. But, I haven't paid that much attention beyond looking at the nest. I see Lisa has seen the same pair on the bluff  this year....

Toucan Ranch Rescue update :-*

Catch Viscerion, the crocodile, as he takes the sun in his pool daily, his pool will go back into the structure area soon. Also, be on the look for Randy and Rihanna while they exercise and recover during their rehabilitation process.

RELEASE NOTICE:

Ziggy, 3F Sloth: was released with a collar and monitored. Leslie went to the Release Site to help with his release. Leslie mentioned that Ziggy was getting tired while climbing the tree, and when before leaving, she checked on him and was in the same spot since the release. The next day we received information that Ziggy went all the way to the top of the tree. He is eating fresh leaves and enjoying the view from the top of the tree.

NEW ARRIVALS:

Alma, 2F Sloth: came from Bijagua. Her mom rejected her twice. Park rangers couldn't bring it to us because they didn't have a car at the moment, so our husbandry intern and vet supervisor volunteered and went to pick her up. It was a long drive to the northern part of CR (Cañas). She is dehydrated but seems ok; we don't know why her mom rejected her.

Sloth Pre-School Updates:

Coco & Geo, 2F Sloths: They are fine. They love the new structure, constantly climb, and are more active, curious, and exploring.
Landon, 2F Sloth: He is exploring and being more active with the new structure.
Pax & Liana, 2F Sloths: They are doing great too. Pax will be graduating soon.
Roo, 2F Sloth: He is eating more, getting veggie smoothies, and it seems he loves it
Robin, 3F Sloth: He has yet to show new advances. The basket has been moved near the ropes. If you see him pulling himself with the ropes, let us know!
Ollie,2F Sloth: He has issues adjusting to the milk at the moment.

A ball of sloths  ;D :-*

We shall see...

Off to see if my mower starts after sitting in the sun for hours.....if so I'll mow in back.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Lisa, hugs. Awww, sweet Misty.  :-*  Glad the vet thinks it's ok, but I'm sorry Misty is having such discomfort. Did the vet say how long it is okay to wait for that placenta to be expelled, and what to do and when if it isn't?

I found this page about retained placenta in cats:
https://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/reproductive/c_ct_retained_placenta_afterbirth


Off for a walk... I'm trying to walk daily again. I'm adding a little distance at a time, and increasing my pace over time - due to old, ongoing knee injury constraints. But I'm up to 1.8 miles at 2.92 mph now, so I'm making some progress. I would like to go at least 3 mph for walking speed on these neighborhood walks, and I will get there if I can shave 1 more minute off my current 1.8 mile route. My knee is not so sure.  ;) :D

Take care, Beakers.  :)   Later...

BAZI  Interesting article on retained placenta,  You are doing GREAT with your walking.  Before this surgery the best I would do is 1.5 mi. on a routine walk.  I sure hope to get back to that.  Keep up the good work.  I'm not sure speed is essential. :-\

T40  I have used my Merlin ID on routine birds I know to practice.  However it is so long before I use it again it takes me a while to get it opened and set up to record - I swear the bird knows I'm struggling and then stops chirping.  It has happened so many times  LOL

Bazi 'waving'    ; great info on retained placenta



Jim trimmed grass line and the berry bushes aroung the big willow yesterday.
He mowed today as he's off  early, 2:15pm. Almost got both yards finished.

My  azaleas survived the winter .And came popping/leafing out. Then we got a frost last night. Didn't cover 'em---Jim said not to worry...I haven't dared look.

Our first clutch fledged last Tuesday. And, Mom CR47 got right back  with a second.   ???    Pictures and diary updates forthcoming . I have to  send and save to PC, caption and then upload to Pinterest and post.   

But, here's a photo of Paul's hand made bird house he sent to us at Christmas.

Jim's son Paul was taking a woodworking class last Winter. Thought his dad would like a new
house for Christmas. The top opens for easy cleaning after each bluebird season and ease of photography. Paul included some screws for mounting and all.
 I hope they fit. The bluebirds that is.

Sounds and looks like baby season all over the beak!  What fun, fur and feathers!   Hoping Misty is feeling better.  What a young mama!
Been dizzy as all get out for months and finally went to ent today. Have severe vertigo.  Had first treatment today next appointment Monday!  Tired of these cheap carnival rides!
Have Home Health starting Friday and will do 8 hours, 7 days a week until I get rid of vertigo and will then cut down on days and hours.
Not reading every word on here but will try better as time goes bye!
Sweet dreams

BAZI  Interesting article on retained placenta,  You are doing GREAT with your walking.  Before this surgery the best I would do is 1.5 mi. on a routine walk.  I sure hope to get back to that.  Keep up the good work.  I'm not sure speed is essential. :-\

T40  I have used my Merlin ID on routine birds I know to practice.  However it is so long before I use it again it takes me a while to get it opened and set up to record - I swear the bird knows I'm struggling and then stops chirping.  It has happened so many times  LOL

Tsk, I'm sure you will get back to your pre-surgery walking routine! I monitor and set my pace/speed as a way of helping to get more of an aerobic benefit. I'm not getting too technical with it - not doing the measured percentage of max heart rate/etc. type of calculations, that I did at one time.  ;) But I do get my distance and time of my neighborhood walks now, to calculate speed. I know what speeds will get me closer to at least some aerobic benefit, even if it isn't the most aerobic workout I could get from that exerrcise. I want to do enough for it to be more than an off-the-couch leisurely walk, which I also enjoy, of course. Being "off-the-couch" is always good for me, no matter the speed. LOL. My knee was more swollen than usual today, so I decided to cut back on my distance, and that turned out to help me go faster. So I only walked 1.15 mile today, but I did it at 3.28 mph - so I met my pace goal at least, and got my heart rate up a bit. Yay. LOL. If I still were going to a gym, I would also be using a recumbent bike and an elliptical, which I liked. But for now, getting back to walking exercise is good.

BL, you're darn tootin'! I never walk fast on trails - too much to take in and enjoy along the way to go fast! Well, unless I'm running behind schedule to make camp by dark, of course. LOL. Those were the days... for me. These days, my trails are day hikes without night camps. But my old sense memories of those days re-awaken when you post about the fun you and Pip have out and about... "Oh, the places you will go."  :)

Clynn, Phyl, Oldguy, and others, thanks for the cam shots from many nests. Those goslings are just sooo cute!  :-*  I can't watch the jump either. I'm going to have to wait and read reports, and hope for the best.  :-*  Loved the Flyway sunset, too. Spectacular!

Lisa, I love those pics of Misty with her kittens!!!  :-* :-* :-*  I hope everyone at your house gets some good sleep tonight!  How is your daughter-in-law feeling?

((Karen)), that's great you have your home health aide scheduled to start soon! Not great on the severe vertigo though - ugh.   I'm so sorry, and really hoping you get some steady improvement of that - fingers crossed. I have dealt with that some, and yep, those carnival rides are too wild! Hugs. And hold on!

Lani, are you getting a bit of a breather now between the bouts of heavy duty tasks? Hope you're getting some time to rest more. I hope Shannon and Aly are getting along okay. How is Shannon feeling? Has Aly decided on a place to move into yet?

E4E, I know you will be thinking of, and missing sweet Star, but I hope you and Kris will enjoy your getaway. There is so much to see and do in that area! I know the weather forecast, and I hope you will get to enjoy some of the fun indoor things when the rain comes through.

T40, enjoy the Merlin app! I can't use it on my phone, but I know it gets high marks. I think Clynn uses it, too.

LOL, Tsk, on your Merlin app experiences.  :D  I'm sure it will go smoother with more use.

Phyl, the new birdhouse is nice!

Rest in peace, Harry Belafonte, who died today at age 96.

Clynn, precious pics of mother goose and babies... Aren't they precious  :-* .... Mother knew it wasn't time for jump today. This will give #5 & 6 time to get stronger, and be ready for their jump in the morning.

Phyl, Beautiful bird house made by Jim's son. Gorgeous sunset.

 Makasta sits on the nest
(https://files.explore.org/sn/1970/10/6/20230426T113111_3693075.ts.jpg)

When the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden was established in 1982, Black eagles (Aquila verreauxii) were already nesting on the cliffs adjacent to the imposing Witpoortjie Falls. Initial sightings of these magnificent raptors date back to the early 1940’s and the present day female eagle could well be the third or fourth generation since that era. In the early 1970’s visitors to the Witpoortjie Falls recall awesome sightings of the current female with her first mate.

It remains quite incredible how the Roodekrans pair,  female  Makasta, and the male Mahlori,
have tolerated the rapid rate of urbanization and development within their immediate hunting area.
Due to the new nest being on a remote ridge on the eastern side, the only viable location for the camera rig was over 400ft away to get direct line of sight on the nest. A 4K 48x Optical zoom camera on a 6m radio pole was needed with all camera, battery and solar equipment having to be hiked up the mountain.

Black eagles lay their eggs in April/May. They will incubate for up to 45 days, and chicks will fledge 97 days after hatching.

The cam and new nest was established February 2022

Phyl, what cute donuts!  39 here, high 61 today. I see a whole string of 70' in the near future! Spring finally? I was glad to see Mama Goose waited until today for the jump, it was getting too close to dark yesterday. Two Harbors and GSB looking good! Sweet sleeping DH2!

Lani, you are absolutely right, and Mama Goose knows the longer she can keep them in the nest the better! Besides, keeping track of 6 kids in the dark would be tough!  Eagle Girl posted this picture of Father Goose in the waiting room, pacing... And Wiggles posted the second one, Father Goose has cleared the area... Lisa P the 3rd pic. We are having cute little ones overload, between Misty's babies and Mama Goose's babies!

Had vertigo about 5 years ago.   Cleared up with one treatment!  Not so lucky this time!   Fooled with this longer as some thought it was dehydration!   I should have known better.
Have had some lovely black. Iron railings installed on front and back porch.  That and the roses look great! Enjoy the day!

Good morning Beakers!
I've been watching since 5:00am. I think #6 is the littlest one is with the 5 siblings. The lower gosling on the left.
I've been following it for two hours. I pray the one that is injured will be able to join the family. 

#6 was the only smallest one in the nest and now here with the family. It struggles to keep up, but it's doing great.
I'm glad mom waited overnight to give her youngest the best chance of survival.

Got sidetracked this morning with kitten duty, and watching those cute lil goslings!!

clynn - I loved that 2nd picture too, thought it was so cute!  I hope today is the big jump for the Baby G's!  Have a good Bella day!

tsk - Thanks for the video on my FB page, that is exactly how Misty was acting!

Phyl - Thanks, and Misty seems to be doing alot better today.  I was really worried yesterday.  Love that bird house!  Great cam pics!

karen - Sorry to hear about your vertigo!  Great news on the HH nurse coming till the vertigo is gone. 

baz - Daughter-in-law is feeling good, and getting bigger every time I see her, of course I would never say that to her.  ;D

Lani - Those lil paws have some sharp nails, too! I saw on the RRP chat banner this message about the lil gosling..... 5 goslings are fine. 1 is with Dr. Laura with a croggled leg (temporary paralysis)

kb - Glad to hear they are intervening at Dale Hollow.

Dale Hollow update:


Update.. rescue was a success. Fishing line was removed. Both eaglets evaluated.. 18 will be taken to vet for additional medical care and rehab but 17 is back in the nest. It was recorded and hopefully will be uploaded soon!!! Praise God!!! Thank you AEF, TWRA, AND everyone involved!!

It only took one and a half hours, and 18 suffered much longer than it needed to!

Hard for me to believe those who stated like "forever" they couldn't allow a rescue at this nest.

Hopefully, lesson learned.....and monetized nests are watched by citizens who speak loudly.

KB  I'd ask why too  LOL   Great news for Dale Hollow - The public voice prevailed!!  Like someone said it was a man made problem so man should fix it.

KAREN   Yay for the nice railing.   Have bathroom equipment installed too?

Is there a video link yet to the jump?

GOOD MORNING

33  heading to 49 today  sunny

...

BAZI  That is a very fast paced walk!!!  Good for you.  I used to love the elliptical as well.   RIP  Harry Belafonte  - a trail blazer.

...

TSK, I made more effort to go faster yesterday, since I shortened my walk for my knee, and wanted to try to get to my goal pace of 3 mph. When I walked today, I told myself I would go my regular, longer, 1.8 mile route, but my knee said I should do the shorter 1.15 mile walk I did yesterday.  ::)  After negotiations, I took the middle ground, LOL, so today I walked 1.35 mile, at 3.24 mph. Yay! I will try to get my distance back up a little at a time if my knee lets me without too much complaint.

Reposting update from below

Update from RRP
5 goslings are with the parents. A sixth has been rescued and is on it's way to veterinarian help as it has a bad leg

Clynn, thanks for the update on the jump! Awww, 5 made it. I wonder if the 6th one's leg is bad because of injury from the jump, or if it was bad for some other reason, before the jump. It's so nice that RRP was able to rescue that one to get to a vet. Hope it's an injury it can overcome and get back to its natural surroundings before long. I hope the goose family does well.  :-*  Hope you're having a fun Bella day!  :)  Did she watch the jump with you?

Have a wonderful afternoon and evening, Beakers!  :)

Yay for AEF! and their successful mission at the Dale Hollow Eagle Nest!  :-* I hope the smaller eaglet with the wounds will heal and rehab well, and get released again before too long.  :-* :-*

Lisa, LOL, your DIL getting big... I guess that's to be expected.  ;) :D  Glad to hear she is feeling good!  :)  Are all 7 kittens nursing regularly on their own now, including the littlest one? Or are you giving additional formula to the smallest, or any others? I've wondered if Misty has expelled the missing placenta yet. Glad to hear she seems to feel better.   :-*  Did everyone get to sleep last night??  Hope Misty and the kittens, and your   whole household have a good and restful night tonight!  :)

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D  Off to walk to my community mailboxes kiosk to check for my mail...

Beakers, good evening! Today it was Polly Pockets, the park, raking pine needles outide and, of course, the Ah-Pad. She was wanting mac'n'cheese before 10:00 but I held her off until 11:00!  She must be having a growing spurt, she ate way more than she usually does! Forgot, two pieces of toast with peanut butter for breakfast!

I am so happy to hear that AEF won on the issue of the Dale Hollow eaglets. I hope they can put the little one back in the nest, but it didn't sound hopeful. And the little gosling, they sure found him quckly! Yay RRP!

karen, you on your way to being at home! How is the vertigo, did it go?  ;D

Lisa, another gorgeous boquet! And the kittens are all doing well?

I am on power save with this laptop, need to go to my pc! Internet was down again today, they must be working on something!

Found this on FB:
Dale Hollow Lake
Breaking News: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Nashville District, and American Eagle Foundation coordinated a rescue this morning and successfully cut one eaglet free in the nest at Dale Hollow Lake. They removed the other eaglet (photo attached) that will need surgery and they’re hopeful it can be returned to the nest once it recovers. They are taking the smaller eaglet to UT for surgery. A statement from AEF is also included with this post.

BAZI   Baby steps important.  Sure wish it would warm up here - I'm getting antsy to resume my walks and build endurance.

KAREN   Glad Mickey will be there to "supervise " your new helpers.  Will it always be the same person? maybe during the week and a different one for weekends?

No it was not his first time...I looked at his face book page and he has several other eaglet rescues...he wears a go pro camera on his helmet too so you can watch his previous rescues.
Perhaps he'll do the same with this one?....
there is so much badness going on with the chats/mods of that nest still even bullying folks who requested the eagles recovery it may take some time?

The latest I read is that fishing line severely injured it..every time the other eaglet moved it tightened the line on his limbs....he probably would have died soon if not for the recovery.

Good evening, Beakers!  :)

Clynn, it looks like it was a fun Bella day! She is grinning or laughing in every picture! LOL, a whirling dervish. The playground looks fun. Thanks for the pic of the rescued Dale Hollow eaglet. It's good to read they seem hopeful it will be able to be put back in the nest. Talons crossed! Thank you, AEF, and partner agencies, for that rescue and treatment plan!

TSK, I hope you start getting some good walking weather soon. Maybe it will come at the same time your doc clears you to walk a bit more. Yeah!  :)  How are your back and legs feeling? I hope Tim is continuing to feel good. Has Lulu delivered any more hair-raising surprise gifts to your bedsheets? :o ::) :D  LOL! Oh, I do baby steps! LOL. Trust me. I've been working up to where I am now with my walking for a little over 3 weeks, starting out with a much shorter and slower walk every other day. My endurance is building lots more quickly now, thanks to my overall good health, stamina, and history of strength and endurance exercise. I have to tailor what I do based on what my knee will tolerate. But, I can take just one step in the wrong direction in my own kitchen that it doesn't like, and have a big knee blowout requiring compression, rest, elevation, and meds for days. Also, occasionally, it will hyperextend, seemingly for no apparent reason, and that's a bear. Grrr. I need to get some ankle/leg weights and/or bands so I can do some at-home quad-strengthening exercises to help my knee. Keeping my weight down helps a bunch, too. I had to knix doing lunges and squats, and related exercises, long ago, that would help strengthen my upper legs, because of knee issues. Like you, I'm just glad to be able to doing more walking again. I know you're itching to get back to your walks soon, so fingers crossed it won't be much longer till you can!

((Karen)), your plants sound pretty! Glad you got the railings up, and that Mickey will be there to take the HH people through "orientation."  ;) :D  Lots of adjustments, I assume, but all for staying safe and getting stronger. Sooo glad you finally got a proper diagnosis for the cause of your dizziness, and hopefully that will start getting better with those treatments now. Feel better, and keep on keeping on.  :)


I need to get Zippo put to bed in her "sleeping nest." She's up late again!! So...

Goodnight, Beakers. Peace and Comfort. SED.

Lani, hopefully you are rested and storing up some energy for your conference! Yesterday I found and read the Dale Hollow rules, it must have been written by a person who had no love for  God's creatures. It had absolutely no exceptions for intervention in the nest. I am so glad AEF prevailed even though the wait was probably too long for the smaller eaglet. At least it's safe and being cared for.

karen, sounds like you and Mickey have things together, dang that vertigo!  Having flowers planted and all the little things you need/want done will keep you busy, and out of trouble...  ;D Just don't take any chances until you have someone right there with you! Yes, only 4 more Wednesdays with just Bella. School is out 5/31 and I will have both of them for the summer (6/1) until school starts August 23rd.

I am confused! I count 6 goslings, was the one that RRP took care of returned to the family yesterday?

SF Bay Ospreys - After a couple of days of Will she? Won't she? Rosie laid her second egg this afternoon. What's unusual is that her egg-laying interval has been very consistent for the past six years, between 69-76 hours, or about three days. This interval was closer to five days, at 117.5 hours. If she lays a third egg, it may come on Saturday. Or not, we do not know.   https://youtu.be/kN9aSJbDx08   Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

From Raptor Resource Project:
The goslings make the leap of faith!

The goslings jumped this morning at about 7:29 AM. After watching them yesterday afternoon, we thought the jump might occur pretty early today, but we were still surprised at how quickly it happened! Within just a few minutes of MG’s departure, all of the goslings had joined their parents on the ground.
Our camera operators were only able to find five of them, so we headed into the underbrush to find #6 hidden under a log. We tried reuniting little six with its family, but it appeared to have an injured leg and was not able to swim well enough to rejoin them. We retrieved it from the creek. Dr. Laura will be taking a look at it this afternoon. We don’t know how badly it was injured but are hopeful for a good outcome.
It was fascinating to watch Mother and Father Goose gather their young and take them to the stream. The water was flowing more swiftly this year than last year, and the geese ended up near a riffle next to a gravel bar downstream from the nest. The parents corralled all of their young and got them out of the water and on to the bar. After 30 to 40 minutes, they crossed over a calmer stretch of water and led their young back upstream to the pool below N2B, where they are as I type this. Make way for goslings, everyone!

Goslings make 'leap of faith".

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

38 with a high of 66 this afternoon  Sunny  :)

KAREN  Lots of home improvements going on  ;) ;)

KAREN  Don't know if this is in your wheelhouse but no weights or bands necessary if you can do sit to stand to sit from a chair without using arm rests to push... :-\ ???

LANI  Not my lilac bush but mine should be in full bloom in a day or two  ;)

CLYNN  Maybe that pic of the goslings was before they saw the 6th had difficulties??

PHYL  That is a cute Decorah nest pic  :)

Tsk lovely flowers from your 'digital' garden.   When do you do  your walking? I save it for evening--- my vertigo always keeps me a bit off
balance and with on one accompying--- I don't want folks to see me 'teeter'.

Clynn  Reader 's Digest  on the 6 goslings:  Parents and 5 goslings are on the ground doing their 'goose thing' and the one gosling is still at the 'Vet' /rehab  for a 'gimpy'  leg.
Tks for update/photo on SF Bay Ospreys

Was just over in Decorah Goose Cam thread---speculation about a new pair at the nest with the visitor so soon.

More action at N2B. 

Pair checking out - or - back on N2B?
Are MG and FG thinking about another brood OR is it a new pair?  Replay to about 7:15 nest time.

Is it safe to assume (Never assume anything?) that when we see this pair checking things out on N2B  that our MG and FG are definitely seen and accounted for somewhere else?  Just asking.

Lani, yes, there are definitely 6 goslings in the picture! I found this info on explore.org. I somehow missed that they had placed the 6th one in the water with the others and then retrieved it!  I marvel at how much they look like ducklings, but grow into those big bodies (and big butts) and that long neck! I love watching their butts waddle when they cross the roads around here. We have many that stay here all year and this time of year we often have to stop and let them cross the road.

'Within just a few minutes of MG’s departure, all of the goslings had joined their parents on the ground. Our camera operators were only able to find five of them, so we headed into the underbrush to find #6 hidden under a log. We tried reuniting little six with its family, but it appeared to have an injured leg and was not able to swim well enough to rejoin them. We retrieved it from the creek.'

Phyl, the two geese in the nest now are all riled up about something! If they stay and lay eggs what will we call them?  ::) Two Harbors, sleeping Mom... Sweet, sweet picture of HM and DH2...

tsk, gorgeous flowers! 50 now, high 72!!! Yes, you are right about the 6th gosling, I missed that RRP had put it in the water with the rest! Last year Ed got me a start of a white lilac bush from a friend, it is doing well!

kb, cool whale picture!

Lisa, posting for you...we love seeing pics of Misty and her babies!

I don't think I even got around to saying good night, or commenting yesterday evening.  I was tired. 

kb - Glad to read that the Dale Hollow rescue was a success!

tsk - I am guessing you found a video for the goose jump?  I seen that RRP posted several on their FB page.

baz - All 7 have gained weight.  The smallest who was first born weighed 3.35oz is now 3.85oz.  We are going to weigh them again tonight.  They all seem to be nursing, and Misty has now even started to leave them for a few minutes to stretch her legs and comes right back. 

karen - I hope all goes well with you when Mickey leaves.  I have pet Misty and babies for you!

clynn - Love the pics of Bella, looks like a fun day! Kitties are doing good.  Aww, thanks for posting the pic!

Phyl - Thanks!!  Great pics from the cams and thanks for info on geese. 

Lani - I have to say, last night was a little better sleep.  Only work up every two hours with mew mew mew's, instead of every hour.  :D 

tsk - Pretty flowers in your morning greeting.  Send some of your sunshine this way!

Puff - I think that is a new MG & FG on N2B.  Maybe Goose cam part 2 in the making...  ;D

kb - Cool morning pic.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, Karen, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Phyl, Aly lived in Norway for three years and was awed by last night's video. It was really something! ... Thanks for RRP pics and updates.

Kb, awesome morning pic!

{{{Lisa}}} I imagine you are tired.... little mews must be a precious sound.  :-*

Clynn, thanks ... love Misty's new pic, the sweet baby laying across her paws is precious.  :-*  ... I miss having lilacs, I bet your white one is gorgeous. The two SWFL eaglets are doing great!  :-*

Aly received her medical certification to work in Oregon. Arizona has yet to answer Aly's requests. Oregon answered her less than five days.
She's doing online training for the next two days. She'll be moving around the 19th or so of May. She starts work June 1st. She's looking for a rental
right now and will store her things in U-Haul pods. She will inform her supervisor about her move and give her two weeks notice.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :D

Clynn, good to get the details on that 6th gosling being in the creek and then gathered up to vet. Will Talon have any kind of "day camp" or organized activities during the summer? You will be busy keeping both of them busy this summer! Lots of fun, and keep you on the go, I'm sure!  :) Thanks for posting Lisa's pic of Misty and the kittens.  :) :-*

Tsk, I don't know if you meant to address your last post to me instead of to Karen - in reference to weights/bands vs. sit/stand/sit exercise?? LOL, I'm guessing you meant it for me, since I had posted about maybe getting some ankle/leg weights and/or bands. Yes, I can do that sit/stand/sit exercise easily, without using hands or arms in any way. That is good to do, and thank you for reminding me of that exercise. I used to watch the PBS series on TV, "Sit and Be Fit." They had lots of great stuff!!  I just don't remember them all! LOL. I need to go online to look look them up again. But I want more options for further strengthening my other leg muscles, in addition to my quads, without stressing my knees - adductors/abductors/hamstrings, and some lower leg muscle groups, also, but emphasis on upper leg muscle group strengthening. P.S. I noticed in my post to you last night, I said "knix" - LOL - instead of "nix."  ???  The power of TV advertising, I think?  ;)  LOL! It wasn't one of my many typos; it was a brain fart and not paying attention... oh lawww...  But those TV ads for Knix "under things" do look tempting - I haven't looked into them, but I bet they're pricey.

Lisa, awww factor is high on that pic of Misty and her kittens!  :-* :-*  I'm glad they are doing so well. Misty is making a good 1st-time Mom.  :) I hope you can sleep longer stretches soon!  You didn't say... I'm guessing you haven't seen any sign of that placenta yet?

Lani, glad things are moving along for Aly. Lots going on with your family - best wishes for you all.  :)

Phyl, LOL on you not wanting to be seen teetering from vertigo on your walks. And, of course, no one wants to worry about taking a tumble, either. When I took walks during my vertigo, I teetered, too. LOL!  Sometimes, a lot, depending on how severe any of my bouts of vertigo were at the time.  I sometimes wondered if my neighbors thought I was tipsy, or outright drunk. Ha ha... because sometimes those "teeters" were more like staggers, or a very crooked walking line. LOL!  Oh well, give 'em something to talk about!  ;D  ;D  Sometimes I used my cane, just to have a steadying 3rd "leg" on those vertigo-affected walks.

Tig, hope you're better and better.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

I'm o-f-t to wash and cut! my hair!  My hair is sooo long! I haven't had it cut or styled in a salon since Thursday, March 12, 2020 - just before the first big covid weekend starting all the closings and special business rules at the start of the covid pandemic - in mid-March 2020!! I have cut my own hair ever since! My salon ended up closing permanently, unfortunately. I haven't gone looking for a new stylist yet...ugh... I hate having to do that - I have very tricky hair. LOL! But I haven't cut my hair in a looong time now, and it's bugging the heck out of me. So... it's gonna happen today! Yikes! It's not safe for me to have scissors when my hair is this long.  :o ;) :D

See you later, alligators!  :)

Boy oh Boy - What an interesting film/pics.  Nick kept my attention, glued to the screen.  Now that type of work, if they ever get back to such a rarity again, would get me to watch a movie. (Haven't watched any movie in maybe even 20 years.)  This was non-fiction, no blown up buildings or people, formative, entertaining, and all true on-the-spot action.  That's what I believe is meant by entertainment?  My only  complaint - it was far too short.  Maybe we'll get a prolog when released back into nest with sib.

And how about that Nick !  Has it hit him yet about the size of his international audience?   Tons of thanks and kisses for all those involved, and a big smackaroo to the nest guardians for relenting on the rescue.

That is a sweet photo of MomCat Misty and her kittensm,  you  posted on FB.  :-*


Lani  When big bro #1,  Larry,  was in Air Force he always drew the artic/fridged climates---Eielson AFB, Fairbanks, AK and Naval Air Station Keflavik, Reykjavik, Iceland to name two. He saw many , many wonderful /awesome Aurora Borealis while stationed in those two bases.
 tks for update on Dunrovin Ranch Osprey nest  w/ good snap of egglets.

Hi Baz my vertigo is in the inner ear( not the brain) from the cervical spine surgery I had 5+ yrs ago. A high speed drill (3000 rps) was used to attache a 6" long titanium plate to spinal column C-3 to C-6. Inspite/dispite of doing the Cawthorn exercise twice daily those crystals in the inner ear (right side worse than left)  are still out of place.
Indeed it does depend on how bad  the spells are---and other influences.  I'm always nervous about decending flights of stairs.  ::)
I inherited my mother's cane--I keep it in a closet as my bum R. knee doesn't like it, bcomes a crutch  and no strength training if I use a 'crutch'.
Really cute 'gator' this evening.  :)

KB many tks for the YouTube link to Dale Hallow eaglet rescue. As you/Lori say, 'Finally, ...someone listened..."

Lori/KB fantastic videos of Dale Hallow Eaglets intervention. Grateful  for the nest cam view and not a helmet cam view.  Thrilled to read the eaglets are doing just fine.  :-*

{{{Baz}}} I hope you like your haircut. You're very brave to cut your own hair... It's hard finding someone new after such a long time. I'm trying to find someone here in Payson.  :)

Kb, Nick did an amazing job! I pray the other eaglet will be okay.

Lori, thanks for more information on Dale Hollow eaglet. I googled and found this update.  “It is unlikely that DH18 will return safely to the nest without causing perilous risk to DH17.” https://www.wsmv.com/2023/04/27/american-eagle-foundation-rescued-dale-hollow-eaglet-underwent-surgery-unlikely-return-nest/. 
I'm sorry for those of you that have been following this nest closely. I pray he will be able to be released sometime in the future.

Tsk, No I haven't watched the elephant series, but my walking buddies do, and they love it. I'll watch it when this busy time is over.

Lisa, sad about gosling  :'(. ... I pray the others are doing well... wishing you and your little nursery sweet quiet dreams tonight  :)

{{{Phyl}}} interesting about your brother Larry.

Tig, glad you're feeling better.... fun bird feeder.

{{{Karen}}} sorry about your posts...sleep well  :)

BL, thanks

Good night!

Last night about 10:10 my phone rang, the caller ID said NO CALLER ID so I hung up on it. It rang again, same ID so I answered it. It was the Waukee Police, asking me if I knew Kay Pfeiffer and did I have a phone number/address for her sister. I asked what was wrong and he said he couldn't tell me anything but if I knew her friend Dianna to call her. So I called Dianna. She lives next door to Kay. She told me Kay was gone.... Kay had called her around 9:00 and asked if she could come over. When Dianna got there a few minutes later she was not breathing or responsive. She called 911 but they could not revive her. I am dreading telling Kelsey, Kay has been her buddy for so many years...and my friend for many, many years.

Did anyone happen to watch the Secrets of the Elephants series Nat Geo?   So very heart wrenching and eye opening for me.  Liked the 4th episode as it had a somewhat more positive spin to it.

TSK, I watched! Incredible! Lots of info I never knew, too. Glad I got to see it. Many of those elephant groups/species or sub-species may not be around many more years. Very sad, but will hope for improvement in their odds. I did not know all those differences in the elephants from those 4 different geographical areas, and really liked the way that 4-episode documentary had 1 episode for each of the 4 different regional/geographical area elephants. They are all so different in their behaviors, depending on where they live! It was excellent!!

Oh, sad Nat Geo series?

 tks for update on Dunrovin Ranch Osprey nest  w/ good snap of egglets.

Hi Baz my vertigo is in the inner ear( not the brain) from the cervical spine surgery I had 5+ yrs ago. A high speed drill (3000 rps) was used to attache a 6" long titanium plate to spinal column C-3 to C-6. Inspite/dispite of doing the Cawthorn exercise twice daily those crystals in the inner ear (right side worse than left)  are still out of place.
Indeed it does depend on how bad  the spells are---and other influences.  I'm always nervous about decending flights of stairs.  ::)
I inherited my mother's cane--I keep it in a closet as my bum R. knee doesn't like it, bcomes a crutch  and no strength training if I use a 'crutch'.

Lori/KB fantastic videos of Dale Hallow Eaglets intervention. Grateful  for the nest cam view and not a helmet cam view.  Thrilled to read the eaglets are doing just fine.  :-*

I want to thank all of you for your condolences yesterday, it was a rough day and your thoughts and prayers made it easier...Thank you again...

Lani, today will be a better day! Kay's sister from FL is coming for a couple of days next week, to look things over and see what there is. And to look for important papers. We told Kelsey yesterday morning, she seems to be okay! Your conference is coming up, hope you are getting rested up! It will be fun for you!

tsk, it's funny how we all tend to avoid anything that has to do with harm to animals...I switch to another channel when those Humane Society commercials come on. I remember watching Old Yeller when I was a kid, and crying at the end...even Bambi and Charlotte's Web, I cried... Are your morning walks getting warmer?

tsk, you are the same with the animal shows... and commercials. We see enough of that with the nests we watch. I am waiting for warm weather, like you. Looks like we have a coolish weekend and Monday, then it turns to the 70's. I have some hostas and salvia to plant! And next week I will get my Birthday Money from Mom which I always splurge on plants! Dad always gave us $1 for every year and Mom gave us $50 so I will have $121 to spend on plants!

oldguy, first cutting of our grass yesterday as well, looks like some rain in the forecast. Too bad they can't channel some of the Mississippi water where needed! Thanks for the videos, good one of the filming of Claire's many cats! Maru sure likes his swing and beer boxes!

kb, the albino deer is sure making a funny face! I bet you change the channel on the Humane Society commercials too, and they are so long... Cute little Sand Cat kitten!

Phyl, DH2 is starting to get feathers! He is getting that most funny look of dandelion hair and big yellow feet! That lioness was thirsty!! Looks like we are going to have another Goose family!

Lisa, I love these pictures you posted on FB of Misty and her 7 babies, all in a huge pile! I picked the one you posted first, so I went back and posted another one. So many different positions of those sweet kittens, they are allo doing very well! You and Jeff are the best midwives!

PHYL   All good this AM - no different than any other healing morning.  Cute cat pic.  Lots to see at the Tau waterhole  :o

LISA  Jeff's pic would make a good puzzle  LOL

CLYNN   I switch channels too on the Humane society commercials - or at least mute and not watch.  I have not been walking in the AM - too cold.
Very easy to spend $100+ on plants!!!  Good nest shot from Sue

Meanwhile...

Tsk and Lisa, I LOVE all the kitty pics of Misty and her kittens, and of Lulu... helping with the laundry! LOL! They are all so pretty. I can't always count all 7 kittens! So glad Mama and Kittens are all doing well.  :-* And I love Lulu's "spot" that's part black and part orange.  :D

Karen, glad you had a good day yesterday. Lots of stormy weather in your region the other day. Hope your plants got watered, without getting beat down by hail or such. Hope you have a good weekend with Mickey before she heads back home.  :)

Phyl, glad your shot went well. Thanks, but I didn't mention having a good day yesterday - that was Karen. LOL. But... I did have a good day.  ;) :D  I did mention my haircut turned out okay. A simple blunt cut is as far as I go. I'm not as brave or adept as you at doing layers... LOL. Thanks for the nice cam screen shots, Has the new birdhouse gone up yet?

Lani, I hope you're having a peaceful and restful weekend before getting back to the conference duties.  :)

E4E, I hope you and Kris are having a great time, and maybe even getting a chance to get by the AEF/American Eagle Foundation place in Pigeon Forge while you're there.  :)

Oh, I forgot to add in... I can't watch the sad TV ads for saving animals, or starving or very ill children, or other similar requests, which, oddly, all seem to be $19.99 a month, and they send "thank you gifts" to donors, making me not even want to think about what very small portion of any donations actually go toward the person or animal's rescue or aid. I also can't watch the natural wildlife attacks on other animals anymore. I know it's natural, but I can't watch it. Thank goodness for remotes to change channels or mute while I look at something else.

Lani, we were posting at the same time!  :D  Cute Caturday keyboard kitty.  :)

Nope... no new book selected. Not this time anyway. Some folks just too busy to read. But we plan to get together again. I enjoy it, but one woman talks insessently and I'm getting tired of it.
Food was good, but pricey.

Good afternoon on this rainy early evening!   The storms have been in the  forecast for my area but have really not materialized unto much!  No damage to plants but they are not prone to much damage.  Lirope and knock out roses.  Azaleas coming soon.
Wonderful cat pictures today and good stories.
Mickey is cooking the “last supper “ which promises to be wonderful.  I will miss her.  She leaves at 4 tomorrow.  The plane goes then!   Gets home at midnight!
Getting dark as pitch out so will sign off for now!

TIG  Our Bible study has 12 when we are all there.  Sometimes I feel we are at the " Jim and Jane show"  ( not real names) as this couple can really get going while we all listen..sigh.   Hope the tire is OK.

Tsk sure do luv the Lulu in the laundry photos. She looks so happy.  :-*

Tig awwwww Puff the Magic Dragon; enjoy your book club

Lori enjoyed the catudays you posted tks

Clynn so nice to see you today. Luv your Caturdays esp. Ailurophilia  and I'm a Ailurophile.  ;D
When I was 9yrs on the last day of school that year, in the company's recreation hall,  we watched  'The Yearling" (from novel by American writer Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings), starring Jane  Wyman and Gregory Peck as the leads. As a child I was extremely 'tender hearted.
 The  the yearling (whose mother was killed by the father by mistake ) was  left ofphaned.
So the cash strapped family adopted it and the young boy did his best to keep it penned up and out of the crops. The father, if memory serves had gotten snake bit or somthing  like that. The yearling was killed and it's heart cut out as a poltice for the bite so the father could live...shich he did . That  movie tore me apart and I cried so much that my girl  friends walked me home  in comiseration. They managed to calm me down  during the 30 min. walk  so that my blotchy face cleared .  To this day as much as I've dealt with my flaw. I still get weepy and tears roll down my face when I watch certain wildlife programs and animal rights commercials.  For the commercials, I leave the room .   When it's 'safe'  Jim  unmutes the volume and tells I can  return .  Now for the teacher's defense who ordered the film the description didn't mention the death of 'the yearling' if left the conclusion it was about the orphanied fawn and the poor farmer and family.

Clynn  tks for Dunrovin update. Sending good wishes to y'all and Kay's sister.

Bazi ahhhhhh Etta. That much more to love. I read too fast an d not surprizing my wires crossed.  ::)  Jim is just fine after the Shingrix vax---I have some slight shivers which is no biggie---working the 'Sam Hill ' out of my left arm though.  New bird house  's not up yet.
We have to be wise in which nestin box  it replaces. As nesting box #1 (NB1) is being used for Mom CR47 and Dad CR44 2nd clutch. And, an unknow pair of BBs is checkout out NB 2  (nesting box #2)

Lani luv the kitten at PC keyboard, almost convention time  ;)


T40 thanks for the video links  ;)

Tig  arggghhhh potholes

Karen Mickey is a treasure.


Time to get busy w/dinner.
South of the Border theme: beef enchilidas,  Spanish rice, gucamole on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce garmishe with hand diced Romas and Ranch dressing and appitizer of homemade salasa and tortilla chips . Since Mc Donalds' owes Jim two  choco milkshakes we'll have that as dessert.  A brew for each of us. And a movie from our library.

I also cannot watch the commercials or animal movies,  went
Hysterical at BlackBeauty and had to be removed.  Same for the Yearling.  That was the end of my trips to that kind of film!  Night all.

Oh, I forgot to add in... I can't watch the sad TV ads for saving animals, or starving or very ill children, or other similar requests, which, oddly, all seem to be $19.99 a month, and they send "thank you gifts" to donors, making me not even want to think about what very small portion of any donations actually go toward the person or animal's rescue or aid. I also can't watch the natural wildlife attacks on other animals anymore. I know it's natural, but I can't watch it. Thank goodness for remotes to change channels or mute while I look at something else.

Lani, we were posting at the same time!  :D  Cute Caturday keyboard kitty.  :)

Baz, I agree with you about tv ads  :(

Phyl, glad your shot went well.

Kb, sweet desert cat ... Herb and Sue, cute names for them.  ;D

Lisa, glad to hear Bandit is being a good sport about it all! The kittens are adorable, love those little precious paws  :-*

Clynn, glad to hear Kelsey is doing okay.  :-* I remember how upset she was when Kay fell...  I sent her a sympathy card too ... I've been busy getting caught up and handling changes for the convention. Not enough time in the day, it's been stressful... I've never watched Old Yeller, Bambi, and I cried at the end of Charlotte's Web and The Yearling too. I'm not getting my summer plants to pot until after Mother's Day.... the B&B kittens are so cute, I'd love to cuddle one.... Dh2 is growing, great pic by Smb.... Happy for Dunrovin's Harriet.

Tsk, adorable Lulu pics doing laundry duties.

Tig, Puff the Magic Dragon, I can remember the verses... have a good day.

Lori, love the Caturday pics/gifs.

Hi Baz and Etta  ;D

T40. thanks for links.

{{{Karen}}} I hope Mickey will come back for a visit soon. She's a great friend... Black Beauty  :-\

BL, thanks for Eric Clapton.

Mo, the bonobo.

tsk - Chris and I finished the Secrets of the Elephants series.

All in all it was great...somewhat repetitive at times, but overall my take was that indeed Elephants may in fact be smarter than humans ( they have huge brains for mammals)...in this way: They are very adaptable, work as a large team/herd, their memories are generational, and the youth respect their elders....can live to be 70 years old in the wild.
We have much to learn from them.

Snowing off to my north and east....
Finally, may warm up to average by mid week..

Phyl, The Mighty Mississippi is flooding fast... it promises to be a real mess as the flooding heads downstream. 40 here, high 55 today. Love the good morning picture!  I see the fourth cat! And the kitteh yoga! I have never seen The Yearling and now I know I never will...  Sweet pic of DH2 getting breakfish!

Lani, Kelsey seems to be doing okay. Now and then out of the blue she will say 'no more Kay' so she understands somewhat. I will look at her phone to see if she has been texting her, but I don't think she has. Kay's sister will arrive Saturday night and leave Wednesday, her first trip to see what is what. Kelsey is anxious to see Debbie! It doesn't sound like you have been able to get a lot of rest, your body will be glad when the convention is a memory! I just want to cuddle and watch Misty's kittens, I know you do too...  :)

baz, love Etta's girthiness, Harley is rather girthy too! Here he is in my baking dish...
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/85/33/b8/8533b84b643cf5014e31cd8ed20b2005.jpg)

tsk, I love Lulu's coloring too, it's nice that she helps with the laundry. We must all know people who hardly let anyone else get a word in edgewise. There was a gal at work years ago, Jean Schnoes, who would stop talking, but as soon as I started to talk she would rewind instantly, drowning me out. Over and over. Drove me crazy. Got to when I saw her name on the caller ID I wouldn't answer, and then I would answer her question her in an email.  Still chilly here, now until Wednesday, when we are supposed to break into the 70's.

Lisa, Jeff has been taking wonderful pictures of Misty and her babies, the black and white goes perfectly with their color! It is often hard to distinguish them, they all pile up over and under each other so you can't even count them! Love the weight pictures, they are all doing good, and the tiny one isn't far behind! I have wondered if Bandit looks at them and thinks, 'wow, some of them look just like me!' He is a perfect step dad!

kb, yes, I think spring is coming finally!

Wild Heart Ranch - First was 7 unrelated Great Horned owlets (could only get 5 to sit for picture) and now we’re at 5 unrelated barred owlets. Strange year. Everyone is doing amazing!💚

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

Mid 40's all day and rain moving in.

PHYL   LOL  Kitten yoga  ;D   I remember the Yearling but not my reaction to it - which I can bet must have been similar to yours. Sounds like you had a delicious south of the border evening.  How do you have the time to make your own salsa  :o  Thanks for Amy's review of Week 4

BL  Keep us posted on your travels..

LANI  Good night kitty lulled by the raindrops  ;)  Please take care of yourself  :-*

KB   Agree with all of your observations.  Wasn't it the smallest elephant species that had the biggest brain?  Mo  :o :o :o  handsome dude.

CLYNN   Have to go back and find the 4th cat..  Happy birthday Willi.   Will you look at all those owls  :D

Good morning,  mickey is busy doing laundry hers and linens!  She leaves somethings here.  I bought a bath robe for my step mother so she did not have to pack one and now Mickey wears it.  A pink terry cloth that ties.  I tried it but  seems to have too much fabric.  Full sleeves with cuffs, etc but as old as it is it still looks new!
All the cat and kitty pictures are adorable. Love seeing them.
Temperature here today will be in the mid 70’s  been higher but the rain has cooled it down!
While I did not watch the elephant series I have watched other shows about them and they are amazing!
Clynn, I think Kelsey is doing well with regard to Kay.  Doing well with processing this event!  Give her a hug from me!
Some house finches have built a nest on a sna,l ledge on the edge of mt front porch/door roof.  It is in a corner and looks cozy.   They have tried this every year  and is usually is blown away before they could get it finished.  This year it has stayed.  I am afraid they will have babies up there and it will blow down!  Sweet birds but they do not have the brains of e,
ELephants.,off to talk to Mickey!

We have the contractors arriving after Aly moves out to replace the shower and such.  :(. I'm going to see if Mike could see if they could wait until the 2nd week in June.

Happy Day, Beakers! :D

My little sister was in town for a quick visit yesterday, and we had a great time! This is the sister who is "Mom" to Etta the girthy cat.  ;)  And she is the grandmother to my Littlest Great Niece and Baby Bro and the two sets of twins. Lucky girl!  :) :-* :-* :-*

We had dinner near the riverfront downtown, and then we drove out to the beach for an after dinner adult beverage while sitting on the dining part of the pier at an oceanfront restaurant, and then walking out on the end of the pier that is beyond the covered dining portion.  We went for a short walk in the sand at the edge of the water - it was warm enough to kick our bare feet in the waves. It was great weather, but pretty windy... "Beach Hair" - LOL! - curls and frizz enough for several people... ha ha. We got some big time "Sister Sillies" while taking selfies...  :D :D :D  A good time was had by all.  :) :-*

Gotta get a walk in real quick if I can before this big storm line hits - I see it on the way now out the window!

Later, gators!  ;)

baz, you and your sister look like two ladies having fun! It's still too chilly here to sit outside and have a good beverage! And then you have the Mountain Sister, right? 3 of you?

karen, I know what you mean about the nest, after this season you could have your handyman attach a small shelf in that spot, then you could enjoy the finches! Micky is on her way home by now, but it sounds like you have a good set up at home. Just take your time and go ever-so-slow. You will get moving around easier and easier as long as you don't fall!

Lani, I wish I could be there when you start packing Aly's things, so I could tell you 'every little thing's gonna be alright' and give you a big hug! Kay's sister Debbie, is now coming on Saturday (6th) and leaving on the next Wednesday (10th). She said this will be the short visit to look things over and try to figure out what and how to get things done. She will be back later for a longer time. Diana and I are setting up just a small memorial service, just to get together with friends, not sure of the date yet. Thanks for the Albatross update!

tsk, funny mix-up! Yes, williwaw's birthday is Oct 12!

One step at a time.  Little SP hobbling around the best he can after giving those two the business  LOL

BAZI  Couldn't help but smile at the two sisters  LOL  What fun.  Can see how windy it was.  :o

Not long ago I had posted this in The Flyaway:

Clynn so happy to hear {{Kelsey 's }}doing well after Kay's passing. I wou ldn't fret much if she's  still texting Kay, as when my mother passed I kept her cell on my phone and called her a few times. I kept asking for her and was told she no longer lived there. 3rd time was charm as when the lady anwsered it all hit me I choked up and aplogized explaining that mom had just passed and I forgot. All was well.

Tks for Wild Heart Ranch update/photo the owlets, related or not look great  :-*

Wow! Harley is a rotund fella.
My Maggie is down to 3lbs and looks like a skelaton wearing a fur coat. But those lovely green eyes still glisten,  spring in her step and the trills in her mews are plentiful. My little 'old lady' is just fine  ;)

Tsk 40's F aren't too bad.  Homemade salsa is a snap, 5 mins.  :)  The fourth cat in my  Caturday post is easy to find. Keep your eyes on the 'light'.

Not long and the 'real kid' will be a 'real dad'  ;)   :)

Lani tks for the Royal Albatross cam updates via Twitter---great photo of SP so fluffy and white. :)  Aly will be fine.  ;) :-*

Clynn  tks for Mandi Smith's Decorah Eagles -snap of DH2, That's a eally good idea for  Karen and her finch nest.  Awesome osprey eggs.      What a lovely gesture by you and Diana for Kay and family---I'm sure the memoral service will be greatly appreciated by all. Bless you.

Lisa, did Brad,ey like the kitties?   He will soon be in a life of limited sleep!
Clynn, sounds like you and Dianne have a good plan for Kay.
Lani, Sly will most likely shed a few tears when she departs for  Oregon.  How is Shannon?
Phyll, Mickey thanks you for the prayers to St. Christopher.   She thanks all for their kindness.
My vet came to the house  to get Mickey and she checked out the nest,  she thinks it is good, 
Haven’t seen the pair in two days!

Phyl, great pictures, N2B looks lonely...maybe we will see some fawns later!  Peaceful at Two Harbors, and what a cute pic of DH2!  41 here, 61 high for today. Windy, of course!  May is my favorite month, flowers get planted and it's officially really Spring!  Of my family of 5, three of us have May birthdays! My Dad would have been 93 today. I used to have a birthday in May but I think I will skip it going forward! And my youngest sister is May 27th.  Love the Good Morning pictures! Just saw this update on DH18, the eaglet that was rescued from the nest.  https://www.wsmv.com/2023/04/27/american-eagle-foundation-rescued-dale-hollow-eaglet-underwent-surgery-unlikely-return-nest/

Lani, hugs for you! Your Good Night posts are calming and always appreciated...

kb, very regal looking Hooded Merganser! Yes, get all of that indoor work out of the way! I can't wait to enjoy my screened in deck this summer and fall! The seasons do change over the years, I remember winters in Duluth, starting in September and ending in May... And then there was the snow event of May 2, 2013 here in Des Moines - 4-5"! Of course, it didn't stay long!

karen, get those big girl panties on and get 'er done!  You are doing great, just keep a low profile until your help arrives and then give it all you can with the PT!

I am going to meet Diana at Kay's this morning, I think it will do both of us good to see that she is really gone. We want to get some of the perishable food stuff cleared out.

PHYL   Love from you and Jim is what is keeping that tiny Maggie going.  I did find the 4th kitty  LOL  Good clip from Tembe Park.  A long and varied history to May Day.  Interesting.

KAREN   How did the first night alone go?

CLYNN  A pretty guarded report on DH18.  Sure hope all goes well.  When does your enclosed porch project start?   Tough morning for you and Diana but good idea on the perishable foods.      " Big fish pillow" at Decorah nest   ;D

Phyl - Thanks for cam pics.  Will try and get a pic of the ones that are trying to open their eyes, so cute!  Tonight is weigh night, so can't wait to see if they gained anymore.  My ex-MIL made the best Chicken Ala King, and served it in Puff pastry shells.  I do the same sometimes when I made stew meat and brown gravy, if I don't want to make a traditional stew.

karen - Bradley loved the kitties.  He and Kelly have a cat, all black named Stewie.  He was wanting one of the black ones.  I am like...OMG, you are having a baby and you want a kitten, plus Stewie...you must be crazy!

Planting done and paid for!  One of my greatest joys in life used to be gardening and now all I can do is tell people what I want.  I meant   to say that the osprey eggs look like expensive Easter eggs,  darn Louis and her loyalty to him!   Wish I could read their minds and get them on the couch!

Hello Beakers

(https://www.deepestfeelings.com/holidays/mayday/may-day-card-05.jpg)

Many celebrations on this day...
https://nationaldaycalendar.com/may/#may-1

It was a cold/somewhat wet and windy weekend here.  Temps in the 50s over the weekend - winds 20 to 35 mph for most of the weekend with lots of cloud cover, but no official rain.  Though some areas experienced short rainfall that covered very small area, that did not amount to much.  Sat. was very busy at the store and Sunday was slightly less busy.
Expecting a high of 60 today, but winds are continuing at 20-30mph so far today.  Low temp this morning was 41, two more nights in the upper 30s for lows before temps head back to near or above 70 for the rest of the week.

Cards were good Sat. night - won the first 2 games in 2 hand each with lopsided scores - 3rd game start with the first hand good for us and then had 2 poor hands to lose the last game.  ::)

The saving factor for the Mississippi is that none of the rivers below Minn. are above normal at this time, allowing the over abundant snow in Minn. to flow down stream without record flooding to occur.  Peak levels have been hit as far south as the Quad Cities (Davenport).  Most of the river towns have not experience major damage as the flood walls installed over the past 40 years have contained the river.
The locks will start reopening soon from St. Paul on down as the levels get down low enough.  This seasons barge traffic should have good water levels as opposed to last summers lack of water.

Here is a map of Minn. that shows where the water flows to...

KAREN   So what are the hours for the home health aide?  I bet your place looks gorgeous.  Hope you can sit outside and enjoy.

LANI   Cute gif this AM  :)  May Day is Lei Day - I like that idea.  They are SO fragrant.  Very interesting piece on antibiotics and sloths.  " if you look at their fur you can see it moving"   :o :o :o         You go E21!!!

OLDGUY   Our average temp for this day is 65 .  It is 40 right now.  :P :P    2 of 3 wins - not bad  ;) ;)   Maru being vacuumed - Now wouldn't that be a great way to manage cat hair..   Clever idea filming the cats through the water filled bowl  :)

I has a sad :( :(

Just this afternoon I got up to my top tier garden in back:
Though I rabbit fenced my ivy, towards the end of our awful winter I did see they chewed through the plastic fencing...Never did it before for decades.

They cut down 25 feet of ivy to the ground and chomped on 3 of my climbing roses...

Goes to show: Terribly hard winters are not just tough as in snow removal and misery, but the critters do a lot of damage as well...I'll need to buy chicken wire fencing for next year.
We have an epidemic of rabbits, not just an ordinary amount.

I have so much damage, not just to perennials but also to hardscapes..as I said my shed has holes in it, and much much more.
As you also know my row of arbors are wrecked  too.

guess I know what I'll be doing this summer.....repair mostly....
Let's pray for an easy winter for Minnesotans next year....We deserve it.

This will not look like this this summer...it's a privacy fence from a "peeper" neighbor so it's functional as well....looks down to my jacuzzi.

Mickey just told me about the dirt storms in Central Il and it then showed on the computer.  From freshly plowed farms.  Rain hasn't been enough to keep it damp and settled down!
Good news from the spin doctor today!  Vertigo is gone for now!  I do not have to sleep with the bed at a 45 degree angle any longer!   Of course if it returns, call her!
 Stopped at the Wynn Dixie  on the way home for a rotisserie chicken and a head of lettuce.  Nothing else.  Cost over 12 dollars! Will have to renew my Sam's card!
The swfl kids are special.  M15 has done a super job and then they have some if Harriet's genes to help them along!  Thanks so much for sharing!
Hh comes at 11 am and leaves at 7pm.  I am up and have had breakfast when they arrive.

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

((Clynn)), so nice for you and Dianna to pull together Kay's memorial service, and to coordinate with her sister and help take care of things in her home. An emotional visit there today for you, I'm sure. Happy heavenly birthday for your father today. Love the nest pics - Iris has a whopper fish! Again.  :) :-* And DH2's getting some shuteye on his comfy fish pillow.  ;) :-* You're right - I also have an older sis - my Mtns Sis, in northeastern TN.

Lani, hang in there! The baby sloths are too cute. Hard life for them. Thank goodness for Leslie and the TRR rescue group.  :-*

Phyl, thanks for the nice cam shots.  :)

Oldguy, mixed cards night. Happy May Day!

TSK, hope you're continuing to heal and feel okay. Was there any "kickback" from your edging chores? Hope not.

Lisa, oh my gosh - some of the tiny kitties starting to open eyes a bit... and all they see is a fuzzy wuzzy world then, too. LOL. The beginning stages of their first days of world exploration will not be far behind. The entertainment factor is about to jump up several notches at your house!! LOL! Too cute... can't wait to see more pics. P.S. With a LOL and a wink... re. your son wanting to take a kitten soon... I think your son has seriously underestimated exactly how much his life is getting ready to change very soon. Ha ha... Well, youth is on their side!!  :D :-*  I can't remember when their baby is expected.

Karen, way to go, girl!! For getting out to supervise the gardening. I know you would rather get your hands into that dirt, but you just stay upright for now. ;)  LOL. You're doing good!  :)  So nice of your very kind vet to take Mickey to the airport. I know she will be missed. I hope y'all enjoyed the dinner she fixed for the "last supper." I'm sure it was delicious!  The grandkids are doing well, thanks for asking. I posted a pic from February of my Littlest Greatniece a week ago or more, for you, since you had asked about her, but I think you may have missed it, and it's not there now. I need to get some recent pics, and then I'll attach for you when I do.  :)


Clynn, TSK, Lisa, Lani, Phyl, and Karen, LOL, I think you picked up on the "silly" aspect of my sister and me on the pier at the beach. Once we get started, there's just no stopping. It literally becomes "laugh till we cry."  ;D  We saw some hilarious graffiti on a call/buzzer box on an apartment building after dinner downtown, and had to take a picture of it - so that's attached. You will recognize it as the lyrics to a popular song from our day.  ;) :D At the beach, where we went after dinner to have a dessert beverage at a restaurant on the ocean that has dining also on their covered pier, we took our drinks with us to the end of the pier beyond the dining area, and enjoyed the windy, salty view of sunset before going down the steps to kick in the edge of the waves just after the sun went down.

Graffiti picture atttached, and the song hint related to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHONNcZbwDY   ;D

P.S. Upside down or sideways pic attached will turn rightside up if clicked on.  ;)

Post by: LisaG1967 on May 01, 2023, 05:28:03 PM

karen - The Puff pasty shells are one of my favorite.  Turkey and gravy are good inside them, too!  I am glad to hear that the night went well for you.  Glad to hear your vertigo is gone.  OH, I miss shopping at Winn Dixie!  When I visit Mama, I make sure I go and get things that I can't get here. 

kb - Here is a sweet pic of Misty, and one of the tabby's.  She loves to hold her babies.  This one in the pic is one of the ones that has it's eyes open, of course not for the pic!  So sorry about your pretty climbing roses. 

Lani - Did your MIL put peas in her Chicken Ala King?   Yes, if Bradley were to want one...he would have to go thru AC.  Sweet pic of Robin from TRR, and interesting article.  Thanks for the read.

oldguy - Wow, lots celebrations today.  Has your winds been like Decorah?  I was thinking to myself earlier, that it seems alot more windy this year, then in years past.

baz - Love the other silly pics of your and sis!

tsk - What was the name of that pizza place that you and I went to when I was there last summer?

Jeff just weighed all the kitties....biggest one 7.94 ounces, smallest 6.38 ounces!

Have a good night, everyone!

Fun pictures Baz!   When will she come back?
Let the hh worker leave early todays to take a test!  She is a certified health care worker but she did not finish high school.  Now taking her ged so she can enroll in nursing school.
Dinner was good.  Chicken and steamed Brussel
 sprouts.   Trying to eat simple. Low calorie food now that chef Mickey is not cooking!  Want to lose more weight!
Lisa. Do not see the picture of .misty and the tabby

KB  Might not the ivy just re-sprout .  Same with the roses.?  May need to just wait and see??   Hardscape damage is the worst.

BAZI   LOLOL on the cartoon.       No problem with the edging except a sore left forearm muscle from holding the tool  LOL    A very young Lionel Richie - Are you watching Idol this year??    Your sis takes good selfies.  Nothing like a day of belly laughs to get the ole endorphins going.  ;D ;D

KAREN  So they don't help you with a shower or prepare meals?  Then again, maybe you can do all those things independently - Great news from the doc on the dizzys!!!   The horrible accident on I 55 today just north of Springfield late AM was tragic - Several dead and several to hospitals. Think near 100 vehicles involved.   Dust storm with no vision available for drivers.  Still this afternoon it was too windy to start cleanup.  Both lanes closed and likely to be even tomorrow.

LISA   Such a sweet pic of Misty and tabby.  For now do you call them 1,2,3 etc to ID them?   Giordanos pizza  ;)

Happy Heavenly Birthday for Clynn's Dad.

Thanking everyone for the nests updates, photos, cartoons and goofy family photos( those of you know 'who you are'  ;D)
Pretty morning greetings  baby kitty photos and local weather reports, gardening progress, dinner menus and all.

I have forty eleven bluebird photos to sort, edit and  caption to save.

Clynn I'm surprized about DH-18 prognosis. I just pray it's not euthanized. What a waste of otherwise good bird. DH2w/ trout pillow--LOL
awesome Hellgate photo! That first time in someone's home after they'leave'.  (((Clynn/Diana)))  :-*

Tsk It's one blustery day here. One'd think it was still March.  Always stuff to do indoors. Using numers would make interacting with kittens more clinical and less attachment I'd think.   :-\

Karen ...your B. day is duly noted  ;D  I bet your yard is looking lovely. Soon now you'll be out on your porch or patio with a cuppa Joe seated in your lounge chair. Thinkin..ahhhhhh this is the good life!   :-*  Well   Congrats on the Vertigo---mine is forever with me.

Lani sweet little 'wren' this AM;  SWFL Eagles E21  great video

OG good win

Bazi LOL cartoon

Lisa good weights on the kittens. Awwwww Misty and her baby. Other than when weaned   has AC said when you have to turn them all over to them? When do you get to make Misty official household kitty #2?

tsk - yes..but it takes YEARS to cover the fence....and as i said I have my peeper next door.

May not want to use the jacuzzi this summer.

the last time this happened before I rabbit proofed(maybe 8 years ago?0 i lost 2 of 5 climbing roses permanently.

Tsk, i have a shower chair ,Grab bars, etc and a hand held shower head and a back brush.  Easy to take a shower.  She sits in the room until I turn the water off and helps-me with a towel and getting out, or at least makes sure i do not fall.  That is all I want her to do.  She cooks or heats what I want to eat.  I do not want fancy food right now as Mickey did a lot!   I think she could cook well as she talks about culinary school.  I wish she would clean some.
My new landscaping is in the front of the house and is visible from the dining room.  The front porch is small, as wide as a door, 2 window panels plus a little more.  While I could
 put a chair out there I would not like it!   Screen porch and patio are out back and I do not think I will do much out there until fall.  Could change my mind.   Will fertilize

Lisa, yes, mom put peas in her Chicken ala King. That's why I love creamy peas. I could eat it every day.  ;D ... awww, the kittens have fur on their paws now. Even the smallest one seems to be doing well, weight wise.

Karen, it's wonderful seeing your posts again.  :-*

Phyl, cute good night pic  :)

Oldguy, yes, sad news, I heard about it earlier.  :(

Good Morning Beakers!

43 now, high 64 today. Tomorrow 70, Thursday 78!

Dianna and I spent several hours bagging trash and a bit of cleaning at Kay's. All of the food is out of the refrigerator, still have the pantry (canned goods, boxed things) to go through. Got most of the living room cleaned out, she had a lot of things all around her big lift chair. We did find her will, Debbie was glad to hear that. No one knows the password to her laptop and Erin tells me there is no way anyone can get it. This week is the big spring cleanup trash day so we will put all the bags out Wednesday evening.

Phyl, thank you for the Happy birthday for my Dad...DH2 looks so good! Cute caption for Two Harbors!  Beautiful Flyway! Very interesting article on taxidermy birds, that 3D wooden hummingbird is exquisite! That squirrel is telling you to hurry up and get those peanuts out! Very unique good morning pic!

tsk, I bet you are heading for a warmup, you are usually a day behind us!

Lani, yes, sisters are a gift...Cathy (the middle one) called me yesterday, her husband is going downhill fast. He is about 10 years older than her and hurt his back last year, now he is doing things that are worrying her. She said last night he got up to go to the bathroom and when he had been in there long enough she went to check on him. He was standing in the shower and didn't know where he was. I feel so bad for both of them, she is a year younger than me. And my other sister Becky is doing well, working on all the plants on their acres! Hope your sis and family are doing well!

baz, love the pictures of you and your sister. I know what you mean by just acting silly and having fun, It happens when we all get together, especially on a 'girl's trip'! Old isn't old unless you let it be! I don't want any more birthdays, because my age sounds old and I don't feel that old!

oldguy, awww, RIP Gordon Lightfoot, love all his music...   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw-adih2NwG6ed0nIFmX_iPWAtxgwgrQD

karen, I read about that awful dust storm pileup on I-55 yesterday!   https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/several-dead-after-dust-storm-causes-pile-up-on-i-55/vi-AA1aD2D8
Sounds like you are doing well! Just call the agency and just ask them what you can and can't ask your helper to do for you, nothing wrong with that! My mom's help does light housework, throws a load in the washer, gets the mail, puts the trash out, waters plants, vacuums, changes bed sheets, dusts.  Just easy things. You are getting a new person today, right?

karen & kb - Thanks for the kind words on the pic.  I thought it was another sweet one.

tsk - Yes, Giordano's!!  I saw an advertisement for them, and I thought that might be the name.  Mmmm, that pizza was so good!  Thanks for kind words on pic, and no names yet.  We just say, the black ones, the tabby ones, and the black and white ones.  Very original, huh?  ;D ;D

Phyl - Cute morning pic.  I have to turn them over at 8 weeks old.  That will be around Father's Day weekend.  Misty has already started not being by the 24/7 like she was then they were first born.  She will either lay on the floor by them, or sometimes even go in the living room by Bandit.  She does this at night only.  I think that is why I can't sleep, cause she is moving around so much.

kb - I would not want to jacuzzi with peepers either...LOL

oldguy - So sad about Gordon Lightfoot.

Lani - I am a pea lover too, Jeff hates them ,but loves split pea soup!  Weirdo!

clynn - Sounds like you and Dianna had a very busy day.  Still a good friend to Kay, you are!  :-*

I get hh worker number 2 today!  Going to go for lab work!   Tomorrow to the cardiologist!  My social life is sure full with all these wonderful folks!
Lani, you are a sweetheart!  Tsk, also have a rubber shower mat !

Lisa, you can't love split pea soup and not like peas! LOL! I love Campbell's hearty Split Pea and Ham soup. That is weird! LOL! ... I can't believe you have to give up the kittens at 8 weeks  :-\  Do you have a list of people that want the kittens? Do you think AC will accept it? Will Misty be yours after you give up kittens? Sorry for the questions, I'm sad at the thought of those little ones having to leave mom, though I know you, Jeff and Bandit will be able to get back to your normal routine and sleep.  ;D :-*

Kb, I saw that puppy/cat video the other day and was amazed, it's a special bond.

Clynn, I'm so sorry to hear about {{{Cathy hubby's decline }}}  :'(  my biggest fear, sending prayers for her, I'll add them to our prayer list   ... yes, my family is doing well. Do you think Kay's password could be her cat's name or an item she speaks of often. At my age, my passwords are simple, I know they shouldn't be, but my memory escapes me at times. Also, could she have written it down somewhere, a sheet of passwords placed in desk or someplace near her chair? I'm sure you've been through everything, but just a thought... lots of female intruders have been visiting Iris's nest lately. Where are all the single males?!  :-\

Phyl, stunning sunrise .... sweet DH2...

Post by: clynndunn on May 02, 2023, 02:45:44 PM

Lisa, another week and those kittens will be entertaining you and Jeff!  Everything I have ever heard says 10-12 weeks for kittens to stay with their Mom. I asked Google, here is what I found: How long should a kitten stay with its mother? The absolute minimum is 8 weeks but ideally a kitten should stay with its mom until he's at least 12 weeks. Kittens need much more from their moms than just milk, contrary to popular belief, so the longer the kitten stays with mom the better. Maybe you could talk them into a couple more weeks? Don't you love how much advice you get in this forum... ::) ::)

karen, sounds like you got a good home helper, I would think one would want to stay at least a little busy or the time would go so slow.... Mom's helper even fills the bird feeders for her!

kb, aww, the puppy with the cat mom and siblings...so sweet!

Lani, beautiful cactus picture! We have tried all of the combinations of numbers on Kay's phone (the password is a 4 digit PIN). We still have some papers to look through, maybe we will be lucky and find a list of passwords!  Sarah (Kelsey's aide) said that Kelsey said to her at work yesterday 'Kay didn't tell me she went to heaven'.

tsk, yes, I am worried about Cathy and Steve. Getting old is scary...

A Fern Peony!

AWESOME!! :-*  Iris is awesome!!  :-* :-* Excellent photo catch on that wingspread action!!

Clynn, you did a lot at Kay's place. Yep, the sister sillies happen. Age is not a factor.  ;) :D

Karen, you're doing great!  Keep up the rehab and other recommendations! All the HH workers I know of, in several different states, do light housekeeping as a regular part of their expected duties, such as exactly what Clynn mentioned in her post. Have you been told by the HH office/manager, that their HH aides don't do light housework? I don't know when my sister will be back in my town. She came with a friend who was coming to visit her family, and my sister rode along to keep her company on the drive, so we got to catch up with each other, and she also visited her old college roommate, who lives here, too. I'm hoping to visit her in her home in the not-too-distant future, but no date has been set yet. She is very busy with activities for a friend's wedding coming up soon, and also traveling to her daughter's and son-in-law's home to help with my Littlest Greatniece and her Baby Bro, and all of them will be taking a quick trip together during that time, too. Maybe she and I can find some time in June to get together again.

Lani, my mother put peas in a la King, in the puff pastry, too. She made tuna a la King in puff pastry, often... same as the chicken version, if I recall.

Lisa, that is the sweetest picture of Misty with oe of her tabby kittens.  :-* Yay, the weights are all going up, up!  :)

TSK, I guess the arm soreness is expected after doing that kind of activity for the first time in a long time. Hope you're feeling like you are starting to get back closer to your normal.

Oldguy, I saw that about Gordon Lightfoot. RIP. His albums were in regular rotation on my sister's turntable back in the day. Loved his music and his voice and style.


Gotta run...

Lisa, I've heard that even though they are weened that early, they should stay with the mom till at least 10 weeks for various development type reasons. I guess AC wants them as young as possible to be "too cute not to be adipted" by their visitors, but I hope they let them stay with Misty till they are 10 weeks old. Though I know that's more work for you and Jeff, and I don't know if they would approve that 2 extra weeks if you asked them. They are so sweet, and you and Jeff have been the best foster parents!!  :) :-* :-*

LOL, I didn't realize I had another page of posts still to read after my "Waving" post! LOLOL!

Clynn, I'm so sorry about Steve's health issues. One of my uncles (actually my aunt's husband), started doing some things like that, and it turned out to be Parkinson's. Of course dementia often comes along with that illness later on, also. I know Cathy must be worried. It's hard. Oh, I saw you were saying something similar about kitten ages for separation from their mother. I know Erin is a pro at computer stuff, but I could swear I remember the owner of the great computer repair company I use telling me one time when I took one of my PCs in for some work, that if I didn't remember my PC's boot password, that she could get it, but it would save her the work if I had it for her. Which I did. So I never put her to the test. But she is about as smart at that stuff as anyone I have ever known, so I'm wondering if there may be a technical "back door" to that inside Kay's computer after all. I may have misunderstood her, since I know Erin is so knowledgeable about those things, but it might not hurt for you to call a trusted and recommeded local computer repair shop and just put the question to their guru of gurus. LOL.  I imagine they would require POA papers and the "okay" from that Power of Attorney person (Debbie, maybe?), even if they tell you they can get you the password. Just a thought... The fern peony is pretty. I've never heard of it.


Okay, Beakers, I think I am caught up. LOL! Gotta go...  ;) :D

From my experience with my sisters computers...

If it is Windows 10;
    If security questions were setup, it is possible if you know the answers to the questions - otherwise you can only get in if the computer is reset to new status with all non windows files deleted.  This only works on the later versions of Windows10.

Older versions;

Windows 7 - some versions had a hidden administrator account which isn’t visible in normal use.  Most users never changed the default password for Admin, but if it was changed, out of luck.
Note: this method may not work if the account has been disabled, which it is by default in some Windows 7 installations.

Windows 8 - no way without a reinstall of Windows.

LISA  Awww  Now they will have personalities. And look at those daggers on its toes  :o :o   Agree with CLYNN  but another thing I learned from Tim's cousin Kim who fosters all the time is that you need to handle them a lot so get they used to human touch.  Can't think of the term for that.

CLYNN   Awww  what a sweet comment from Kelsey about Kay  :'(      I've got to look up that Fern Peony - very cool looking

Clynn - You know I never mind the advice from Beakers.  You all give good information!

Baz and all - I am going to ask the AC girl again when I go back up and get more food about how old they have to be when I bring them there.  I am pretty sure she said 8 weeks, but what is a couple more weeks. 

Have a good night, everyone!

The only thing I know about getting info from a computer or maybe a phone comes from reading true crime relorts in the pc or heaing the. Discussed on tv.  Police have a hard time convincing the carrier to give them what they want.  Apple m android of what ever, I do not know.  Personall, I have a note book with all rhat stuff written in it!  Mickey did it.  I would suggest everyone do this,  i have a friend who’s husband died and she and an attorney/judge friend of ours could get in,   This was an apple. They  scrapped it!  Every one should get a list made.

Lisa, I agree, your ac is wrong about when to separate kitties and their momma.  They would have more successful adoptions if they allowed mama kitty to keep the babies 10 to 12 weeks.  General rule of thumb for puppies! I will be glad to voice my opinion!  Lol.  Other rules are do not adopt black kitties or cats close to .halloween and post names like licorice.

Had to go back and reread

I do not know how many cate giversI have. 2 so far and perhaps one more.   If you  combined the two i have had you would have a good employee. They both make me nervous driving my car!

BL thanks for Gordon's Early Morning Rain

LisaGosh! such a heart tugging photo of a kitten.   I think everyone here is in total agreement---the kittens need more time w/mama. I suspect another 8 wks. Stemming from my Maggie,
who with her littermates were taken before weaning. So glad you are talking  to them

Karen so glad the HH worker is doing some chores , take care. That's the peanut jar used in the wooden dispenser. The birds hop inside and grab the shelled peanuts .

Clynn kelsey's comment about Kay---so sweet; very unusaly peonies; That's why the squirrel was in the jar alright---hungry. We're having 3  nowadays and the fighting is frightful. LOL  You and Dianna got alot done.  The cannned goods wiould be welcomed by shelters---that's what I did with mom's pantry

Hi Bazi waving back

OG that's the way my Win10 was

GOOD MORNING ALL

39  heading to 52 by mid afternoon - partly sunny  Brrr

LISA   LOL  I know - who cannot hold a kitten...Lulu is not big on being held.  She will tolerate for a few seconds.  Altho if she is laying on your lap all stroking is allowed - even her feet!

KAREN     I hope your car insurance covers your drivers.  Have you seen their driver's licenses?  Just speaking from experience...You will settle into a routine.  Just give it time.   Your house has great curb appeal!!!!  Beautiful.

CLYNN  Check your link to Gordon Lightfoot interview...Guess I'll pass on the peony.  For kicks will check at the nurseries I frequent.  Love that pileated. :o

PHYL   HD  has some real problems landing  LOL  I expect tho that the nest becomes pretty small when Mom is laying there and DH2 along side.  Thought HD was going to crush DH2 landing with the wonky stick  :o :o    Good video clips

Good Morning Beakers

Ran across some background info on a guitar player that is a member of the Rock & Roll hall of fame - inducted in 2020 as a member of a band from the 70s.
His non-music interests got him selected for the Civilian Advisory Board for Ballistic Missile Defense, which led to consulting contracts with the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Can anyone name this man???

Mickey took that house picture before it was finished so I could see where to put the house numbers!  Have added more roses on both sides of the pirch and azealas and mulched with pine straw.  Changed the wreath on the front door. Liiking better and now we wait for all to settle in and grow!

Thanks for the morning nest news and round up .  Love seeing the babies. I think my nest may have b,own down,

Phyl, love little DH2 all snuggled in... and the goose butt! No eggs yet!  Sunrise on Decorah North, lovely! We will have to go through every can at Kay's, she was not good about getting rid of long expired items. Some 2/4 years past 'Best By' date.

tsk, thanks, I fixed the link to the Gordon Lightfoot interview, I think I mess up links often, because I highlight the link but forget to hit Control C and it pastes the last thing I pasted! Gotta watch that!  Honey is like Lulu on the holding/petting, except she wants to climb up on my shoulder and lay when I am on the computer... Love those beautiful cherry blossoms!

oldguy, someone from the Doobie Brothers? The band I remember that started in the 70's!

karen, can you have your helper take a picture of your porch now? I think it's pretty now, can't wait to see the improvements!

Well, Ollie man flushed out Herb and Sue in the back yard this morning....luckily, Ollie was first more interested in getting rid of the rabbit...as Herb and Sue just watched on but then quickly flew up and away!
Sue is no longer missing.

Putting out my tropicals today as it will be above 45 at night as far as the eye can see....
I love to get them out of the house and outside as then my inside rooms look and feel less crowded.
I've done it forever around this time frame. They'll be fine and I watch for night time lows every day to make sure.

cleaning windows too as with the higher sun angle can see what I'm doing...LOL, in the winter they can be very dirty but you'd miss it with our low sun angle.

The computer is ridiculous.  She's all over the desk and likes to sit on the back of the chair or the armrests.  Stunning pic of Iris.

Another gloomy day, hoping for some sunshine tomorrow!

karen - I got an idea from Pinterest about "Important Information".  I have already started mine for Bradley when he needs it.  There are several different ways you can make one, but I found one site that lists just about everything you would need if you pass away.  It's a binder with different sections of important info.

clynn - Looked at that cake site that you mentioned to oldguy.  That has alot of good info!  karen, love your house and the pretty yard work, thanks for posting clynn!  Love the pic of Iris!
Phyl - Not just talking to kitties, kissing all over them, too.  Misty is probably going  ::)

Did get the yard art/bird baths out in three wagon trips from the garage.  Tim will need to do the last piece as it is beyond my weight restrictions for lifting.  Also the small circular garden around the birdbath is ready to go. Will plant that after the 14th.

Tomorrow I will get a start on indoor window/screens washing and schedule the outdoor window washers altho looking ahead to the 10 day - there is rain possible almost every day  LOLOL :P

Sadly, my bird nest blew down last night!  I have no idea where it went.  This year the nest was regulation size unlike previous years.

Unfortunately, AEF posted that the eaglet they rescued with the fishing line around it's leg had to be put down today...the necrotic tissue had expanded and invaded the joint capsule.

They also posted on the Dale Hollow site they don't approve of their stance on nest intervention which is who stalled/delayed the eaglet's recovery.. especially when humans are involved (fishing line)
I'm happy they posted that publicly myself.

I think they should feel ashamed.

HI BEAKERS

41  heading to 72 and sunny  :)

KAREN   Too bad about the birds nest.  I had my front yard re landscaped last June after 15 yrs here.  They say to wait 3 years for the plantings to mature and start looking good.

KB   Beautiful gesture by Split Rock lighthouse   I just read AEF's comments on FB. - " preventable death"  Sad

PHYL   Thanks for the latest from your backyard bluebird family.  The eggs are such a beautiful color.   Sub adult is closer to 3-4 I think.  Head is pretty white.

Good morning!  Thanks for the nest tour including the bb report!  The eggs are a wonderful color!  Want a t shirt that shade.  Lani. Thanksfor the bear report.
Tsk, I remember that you had landscaping done.  Our plants might mature a little faster because of our extended growing season but they are right it takes a while,
I-hope the folks at dale hollow will take note and change their ways!
I am going to ask my parents carpenter to put a little fence thing up on that corner so the nest will stop falling.  They try every year.  Off to take pills, etc.

44 right now, high 81 and sunny today! And lighter winds! A beautiful day! I didn't get Bella pictures posted yesterday, went to Kay's right after Erin picked her up. Dianna and I got a total of 19 bags of trash out for pickup. Ed brought Kelsey over so she could pick out a few of Kay's things (hoodies, Nike bags, shoes...they had a lot of matching items). She was happy!

Phyl, beautiful sub adult! Bandit getting to big to sleep under Mom! Gorgeous sunrise on the Flyway, and four beautiful blue eggs! Love your wildlife! I will watch some of the Coronation, probably not near all of it. The Royan functions are so long and s-l-o-w moving... and I still blame Charles for Diana's demise...  ::) A hyrax, if I recall, that is a staple for the black eagles...

Lani, peaceful good night...

kb, hate the DH news, it was inhumane for DH to wait so long to allow help for the poor little guy... Love the rookery picture, how those huge birds manage those is incredible! What a nice memorial for Gordon Lightfoot...

baz, LOLOL on the 'Strip down facing me' funny!

tsk, I bet your flowers will be beautiful this year! And even better in another couple of years!  Cat, the wife of the guy who is screening our deck is going to do a bit of landscaping for me. We discussed the front flower beds last night! First she wants me to get 16 bags of potting soil! She says my dirt is not good...

karen, have another good day today! I love clematis, the deep, dark purple ones...or the pretty blue... Great idea on a little fence to hold the nest!

Lani - Thanks for the bear study update.

tsk - Reading your post about all what you did yesterday, sounds like you are doing good!  Love your morning greeting!

kb - Love the pic of the rookery.  So sad to hear about DH18!

baz - "Strip facing down"  too funny!

karen - Sorry about your bird nest  :(  That is a good idea about the fencing.

Phyl - Nooo, don't have to give Misty back.  When I give kitties to them, Misty will "officially" become mine.  I can then take her microchip number and register it to me. Great pics of your BB's.

clynn - Cute Bella day pics, looks like so much fun!  That is nice that Dianna let Kelsey pick out some of Kay's things.

Beakers, i think I just read that D36 has died,  there-was a rather long article in small print which . I did not read.  Bless his heart, he  was 3 years old when and wore that dang camera the whole time.  Rip baby and fly free.
Baby was hit by a car while eating road kill!

Good for Kelsey picking out some of Kays things.  Bella sure can spin!  Dress and hair flying!

KAREN   You are definitely right about the longer growing season for you.  Didn't think of that.  Perfect idea about the nesting platform.

CLYNN   How nice to let Kelsey have some memories of Kay.  Eases the loss a bit.  Boy, that's a lot of trash.  Love that first pic of Bella.  :)  Perfect day for the park.  ;D   Hope you don't have to haul the 16 bags of potting soil  LOLOL    Love those 3 ladies - glad we can laugh at ourselves  ;) ;)
What an amazing close up of the pileated's feathers.  WOW

LISA  Perfect AM pic. :)

KAREN   Here is the announcement - How very sad.

We are beyond sorry to announce that bald eagle D36 has died. Bald eagles die and this isn't the first time we've had to announce it. But this feels especially tragic. For almost the first time since we started tracking eaglets from Decorah back in 2011, we won't be following one. We started tracking them to answer one of the most common questions that followers asked: 'Where do the Decorah Eagles go?'. They taught us a whole lot about their lives and deaths in the twelve years that we tracked eight of them.
D36 was eating road kill when he was hit by a car and died. Take it easy and watch for animals and roadkill. We don't know the exact circumstances of D36's death, but slowing down helps keep everyone safe and might have saved D36's life.
D36 hatched on April 8, 2020, fledged on June 21, and was fitted with a transmitter in July. During the lockdown, millions of people watched him and took solace in the little eagle family, high in a tree and safe from the human pandemic. He had far more aunties and uncles than he would ever know and we'll miss tracking him. He is survived by parents Mom and DM2 and preceded in death by sister D35, who died of lead poisoning in January of 2021.
I'll be uploading his final data tomorrow. If you'd like to explore the travels of any of the eagles we've tracked, go to https://www.raptorresource.org/learning-tools/eagle-map/.

Tig, I think 75 degrees is perfect!

As I was getting ready to go to the dermatologist. I used the potty.  Handle snapped and potty would not work!  Called plumber from the car while enroute.  They had be in their records  from a week ago with notation that I was handicapped.  She said call when you get out of the office.  They arrived 10 minutes after we arrived.  Problem is he had to go to Lowes for a flapper!  I said to the woman, handle broke of and I need all new insides. American standard.  Wonder who did not listen, the lady in the office or the plumber!  My guess is the latter.  Now we wait!  Plumber back!,  really good service and it is roto rooter,
Tsk, that is a bouganvila in your early picture.  Think I spelled that wrong!

Don't even know why that reminded me. . .

I once met a lady on a flight from Barrow, Alaska to Anchorage.  Traveling with a tiny kitty in a case.  That must be what jarred my brain.  Anyway, since she was going anyway, she was doing a favor for a neighbor - taking kitty to vet in Anchorage having something checked out.  I thought at the time "they know a lot about dogs but not cats."  Not a lot of vets in Alaska; not a lot of anything in Barrow.  Beautiful trip to do, highly recommend.

Bit of info - Barrow is the northern most city of USA.

Ever want a unique story - Fran Tate, had a PHD,  owned the Pepe's.  Pepe's north of the border, north of everything!   Great bio.  Used to show up for morning radio show in Chicago at Easter, dressed as a bunny, did gifts to the kids in hospital.

LISA  The more pics the better.  Those two little gray tabbys are sooooo cute - now with some personality.  ;D

Lisa, I agree with all, I love seeing the kitty pictures! I want all of them, never get tired of the pics! I sometimes feel that way about my Bella pics... maybe y'all are getting tired of them... but most of you seem to enjoy them so I will carry on until my Wednesday Bella Days end.  :'( School starts 8/23 so maybe I will have them on 8/22 for the last time until next summer. 

tsk, a really beautiful day here too, 81 right now. Not windy! I don't dare complain about it, we have waited too long for some good warmth! TWC says 88 for Sunday, but back down to lovely temps after that. We are getting older, takes a bit longer to do things, but lucky if we can still do them! I need to call and get an eye appt. On my last one he told me I had the beginnings of cataracts, and I think in the last couple of months I am not seeing as good...often cloudy and have to rub my eyes... Still much more trash at Kay's, we just wanted to get the not so pleasant stuff out...  I always make my font larger for you. I think you are a year older than me... LOLOL!

karen, I once called a plumber and it turned out it only needed a new flapper. I learned to change a flapper myself after that!  ;D Bella loves dresses, nail polish, earrings, she is quite fashionable and loves to spin her dresses!

Clynn, the flapper was only part of the fix. Lol. I used to fix them myself as well.  This brand is more complicated than others but still doable forthe able bodied!

Oh, no, the swfl kids are truly splitting and leaving the nest?  I really love them.  That picture is fit for framing and truly one for the baby book.

karen - Your toilet story sounds like something I would do.  Then, Jeff would be fussing cause I broke the toilet.  ;D  Misty does seem to hug the tabby's the most.

tsk - Those two tabby's are so stinkin' cute!  I go in there and start talking, and the look up at me, or I think they are looking at me.  ;D

clynn - I love seeing Bella day pics, and all the fun you all have!  Is she going to be in school all day, so no more time with you during the week?  I bet you are going to miss your day with her.  Thanks for posting my morning pic.  HM really was letting that sub-adult know she did not want it around.

Puff and all...thanks for saying that about the kitty pics.  I wasn't sure if you all were sick of seeing them or not, so had to ask.  :D

Have a good night, everyone!

CLYNN  You are kind  ;D ;D ;D   I think it's more than one year   ;) ;).   Yes we will miss the Bella pics come this fall.  More cats doing funny things I guess.  Can't wait til your new enclosed porch is done.  A while back you did so much cleaning and purging at Kay's, it surprises me that there is still so much stuff left!  That was a great clip of HM - Our new cameras are so clear.

LISA   Our handle broke the other day - Tim not me - There was a crack in something and Tim with his ever popular fix it tool - Gorilla glue - fixed it  LOL

Clynn from that close up of nestling pileated woodpecker, those pin feathers look like they'd hurt coming thru the skin.
 Saturday AM w/coffee made and donuts for Jim and I .
YOu don't blame enough for Diana's death...Camella, QE2, Prince Phillip, the Press to name a few. IMHO
Good Bella pics.  LOL the scarved old ladies.

Lisa it was something you said in yesterday's post that hit me kattywampus, is all.   If Maggie were 10yrs younger, I'd drive up there, get a hotel room and visit the AC and adopt the runt.  ;)  I think my vet would give me an excellent reference.
Since you won't have the kittens too much longer---keep the photos coming. Think I'll will always wonder about their future.


Tsk such a heartbreaking post from  RRP about D36 and all.  :'(
Doing better than I in the yardwork.  ;)



Tig  75F is too cool to work outside for me. Like it warm so I can sweat.  Good for the pores and internal system.
That's just me

Karen . Hope doc visit went well.

Clynn yep! toiltet flappers are easy to switch out. Such a sweet SWFL Eagles photo.

Beakers, i think I just read that D36 has died,  there-was a rather long article in small print which . I did not read.  Bless his heart, he  was 3 years old when and wore that dang camera the whole time.  Rip baby and fly free.
Baby was hit by a car while eating road kill!

Good for Kelsey picking out some of Kays things.  Bella sure can spin!  Dress and hair flying!
Sheis gtowing some longshapely legs!

That's terrible news about D36  :'(

Phyl, pretty bb eggs, and morning update pics, especially juvie... thanks for Amy's blog.

Karen, a fence around the nest is a good idea.... once I called a plumber to help with toilet handle and flapper. Ridiculous bill, we replaced another one after watching how to replace it on youtube. Love youtube  ;D ... I hope your doctor appt went well.  :)

Clynn, fun pics of Bella and I love them too :-* ! How special for Kelsey to be able to have some of Kay's things.... amazing photo of the pileated's feathers.... I wouldn't mess with HM either! YIKES!.. awww sweet pic of Harriet's last eaglets. SWFL dad did an amazing job raising these two beauties. And they did what they needed to do to survive too. Against the female intruders and GHOs. Safe travels E21  :-*

Tsk, thanks for posting RRP's story of D36  :'( .... Love Glorilla glue and tape, I fixed a leaky pipe last summer!  ;D

Lisa, you could never post enough pics of those precious babies!  :-*

Lani, I so agree with you about M15, he did a wonderful job of raising those babies!!  Also, YAY for Gorilla Glue and Tape! Sweet sleeping leopard...

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog, looks like we may have a hatch at GSB tomorrow! Yes, so sad about D36, wish they wouldn't eat road kill... Love the Flyway view...pelicans? Ihave never heard of the Flower Moon! I wonder if there will be any more goose eggs in N2B? They keep checking it out! DH2 is getting pin feathers! Love The Hatchery's on the Y!

Happy Friday all.

I miss seeing eagles4 posts...I hope she is having a great time.

Saw Mr. or Mrs. Opossum on camera last night around 3am walk up my driveway and turn on my motion detector light....meandered around in the garden in front and left.
Reminds me I read this recently which dispels the myth they are voracious tick eaters...
From Field and Stream study:

Have had very busy days...like tsk I am cleaning windows inside and out, but only 3 or so a day...I have 10 to go...dropped fertilizer yesterday and painted and fixed outdoor things and more.

So Ollie man must have wanted even more of my attention as after gardening I was missing my favorite garden glove which is not an infrequent occurrence....
So last night while watching tv with Chris he went out back and retrieved it, Whew, and dropped it and then commenced the zoomies....so proud of himself!..and I was happy too.

Another busy day, Later and have a great Friday.

PHYL   May is a busy month for the falcons.   Nice gathering of the white pelicans on the flyway  ;D  Those baby falcons are so white.

LANI   I couldn't agree more about finding out how to do things on Youtube.   Beauty of a good night cat :o

kb, those otters are so fun to watch and look so cute!  Kudos to Ollie for fetching your missing glove, he must like the yard tidy and noticed it right away! The zoomies! When our cats have zoomies we say they ate chili peppers! I found another article on the opossums that is a bit different than the one you posted.  https://www.caryinstitute.org/news-insights/media-coverage/opossums-killers-ticks

Phyl, have a good Dr. appt!

tsk, have you noticed that the English call them Peregrines and we call them Falcons? Janet (from England) sent me this article this morning, the English knitters have been decorating all of the postbox toppers with knitted renditions of the Royals and the Coronation!  https://www.prima.co.uk/craft/crochet/a43666593/coronation-postbox-toppers/

{{{Tsk}}} good for you. I'll clean my windows after convention or when Aly leaves. It'll be a busy June for me!  ;D

Kb, You've been busy! ....  love the otter pics. I miss Peepspy's posts about Kotaro and Hana         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcCohfuBVXo
Ollie did the zoomies after returning your glove! LOL!  ;D ... interesting info about opossums... I miss Eagles too.  :-*

Phyl, you're busy as always... Thanks for info on "Flower Moon", something new I'm learning. Royal Albatross SP will be able to see it, hopefully it is a clear sky for those in that part of the world.... pretty nest update pics. I hope all goes well at doc appt.

Clynn, I imagine the scents from your Crabapple tree makes your yard smell wonderful! ... awww darling little fluffy snowball eyasses  :-* .... more info on Opossums, I keep learning new things, like knitted postbox toppers. LOL! ... I'll watch the rerun of the Coronation on Britbox later in the morning and tomorrow night.

Royal Albatross update - 5/1 13:01
Weigh day (instead of Tuesday)
SP chick is now the heaviest chick in the colony.  ;D
At 101 days old chick weighed 10 kgs this morning, thanks to his 2 breakfasts.
Also, Mum L was in at 16:23 this afternoon.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1652997543461281794

Royal Albatross - 5/1
Early morning wingercizes, and a parent arrives!  :-*
It is likely to be chick's Mum, L. Enjoy your breakfast SP chick. 
Then a couple of hours later, Dad arrives with breakfast number 2, video below.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1652944311972147238

Royal Albatross - 5/3
How is this for a perfect landing in windy conditions?  ;D
GLY arrived in grand fashion, to feed his #RoyalCam chick, yesterday.
Includes a brief close up GLY and SP chick, later on in Dad's visit.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1653527496107913217

Royal Albatross - 5/4 9:03
Don't forget to paddle scratch.
Damp/wet chicks can attract dirt & nest material, just like SP chick did this morning.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1653981825210146817

Also check out the highlight videos. Here is the latest one of GLY arriving in that 30-knot northerly.

LORI   Great - thanks for reminding us about Cinco de Mayo.  Completely forgot  What an array.  Love the churro ice cream sandwich  ;D

LANI  You have your hands full now.  Wndows will be a good distraction when things calm down for you.  Thanks for that wonderful video of Kotaro and Hana.  They are so cute.   SP  the heaviest chick in the colony  LOL  It is so windy at that shoreline. Perfect landings.

(((LISA)))

KAREN   We both could use a walk together.  Best exercise.  Had a meeting at church this afternoon so for the first time since my surgery I walked the 6 blocks there and back. Took me 5 minutes longer but I did it and just pushed through the discomfort.    LOLOL  So the plumber screwed up the flapper  LOL?

OLDGUY   Simone the bear with 4 cubs - They love that porch!   That poor elk - weak from hunger, maybe.  So many good links.  ;D

Lisahope you feel better tomorrow;looking forward to some kitten photos; pretty flowers this  AM


Lani tks. for Royal and SP update, luv his photo

OG tks for Q kids,   videos    esp. Princess and the rotating camera


Well since I'll have to rise and shine about 2:30-3:00AM for the FNC  KCIII coronation coverage at 4AM CST---I'm gonna turn-in, in about 2 shakes of a lamb's tail.
Gosh, a-mighty, that's a real first for me and 'ol night owl.

Bucovina Golden Eagles ~ GE Chick Hatches! 🐥 Lucina Feeds Her Very Vocal Hatchling! 5.5.23
https://youtu.be/dDqtPpdJwUc
The first egg has hatched last night (May 4th 2023) and today in the morning we got our first views of the new chick! Welcome to the world little one and congratulations Lucina and Caliman! Lucina gives the new hatchling its first two feedings and what a pair of lungs it has already! If you recall Lucina's eaglet Zenit, he was one of the loudest golden eaglets I think I have ever heard! We should be in for another great season! Caliman has stocked the pantry and they are dining on domestic pigeon (you can see the blue band on the bird's leg). Caliman is a first time Dad and newly mature adult himself this season. Thank you for watching!
Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The nest is located in Romania and features Lucina & Caliman. The pair of Golden Eagles are Lucina and Caliman and are breeding together for the first time for the 2023 season. Lucina & Rarua raised the eaglet Zenit in 2021. Lucina 1st egg laid March 23rd & egg #2 on March 27th 2023.
1st hatch May 4th 2023.

CLYNN   Catnipulation  LOL  Gotta use that one.   Lightfoot cartoon  LOL

LISA   Great AM pic today.  How timely.

CLYNN  to be honest I have not watched any of the coronation footage as I have been frantically preparing for my bro and SIL's visit to attend his granddtr's  - my great niece's, 10th b-day today and then at 7 PM my "Broadway bound " great niece (14) with a starring role in Newsies - her last, as she will go to high school next year and likely get involved with another theater group.  Long day ahead.  BUT  just got a call from bro - SIL is ill - they will not be coming. :'( :'(    What is planned for this special day for you?

OLDGUY  Love your card to CLYNN

Wrapped up watching the coronation of KCIII with the balcony appearances and waves.  The pomp/circumstance, the history. Loved it all and savored every moment.
Getting breakfast for us.

Clynn tks for update on Norwich Cathedral Peregrines .The eyas are so cute.  :-*   Yes! Bob and Harley do look alot alike.   Bob  :-*

Tsk  Sorry to hear your SIL is ill and won't be visiting. Exciting rest of the day for everyone though.
Awww sweet Lulu, cool toy. So happy to see her enjoying her new home. Don't over due  ;)   As cool and cloudy as it's been today, can't see how it can get up
to 81F.

Lisa I almost posted your regal kitty this AM. He's so cool. Hope you feel better.Pats to the kittens and Misty.

Good Morning and thanks for the  wonderful posts this am.  Watched the coronation  and love the pageantry,
I was 14 the last time this happened but I do not remember it!    They are sure having a grand time in London with food and champagne all over!  Good luck to Charles!
The royal cats are wonderful.
Tsk, relax and put your feet up fora bit.  Sure your Saturday  chores are over..  Lulu  is a beautiful calico!  She seems to have a wonderful temperament .   Will you go to the performance?

oldguy, love the card and the cake!  Thank you!

Lani, perfect card and oh no, my favorite cake!  Thanks dear! Love those crowned kitties!

kb, thank you! It's dreary here too, we had a lot of rain last evening and no sun yet! We needed it!

karen, my day is going good!

Erin will be coming over later, he is picking up my topsoil and potting soil and delivering it for me!  Talon and Bella face-timed me on the phone and sang Happy Birthday to me! My Mom and both sisters, Cathy and Becky have called and sang to me! I got my $$ from Mom, $50 from her and $71 from Dad, I need to go buy some plants, but it will be too jam-packed this weekend so I'll wait! I have everything I need! Kay's sister Debbie will be here at 6:30, I will be spending some time with her over at Kay's. She leaves Wednesday. Then she will be back later to sell the townhouse and such.

Some fun!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSbfFo3EB4Y

LANI  And your sweet kitties have a crowns as well.  ;)  Would like to pick a favorite but can't  LOL

KAREN   I will be leaving for Oak Park in 10 minutes for a very long day.  Will miss my Bro and SIL as I haven't seen them since early Dec.  will not get home til around 9:30/10 after the musical.  I'm 30 min away.

CLYNN  If anything you can boast a b-day on the coronation  ;D   You have a busy day.  Erin is a big help.  Tim is getting too old to be lugging those bags around in our yard.  I'm still waiting another week to buy plants.   Enjoy the time with Debbie.

See you all tomorrow - will be home pretty late

Afternoon karen tig, oldguy and all   :)

clynn - Love the pic of Will, Kate, Louis & Charlotte.  I have to say, Louis was on his best behavior.  Sounds like you are having a great birthday, so far!   Wow, the New Zealand Kea, gorgeous!

tsk - Thanks...I thought the morning pic was fitting.  ;D  Hope your SIL feels better soon. 

Phyl - I headed out the door to grocery, so missed the balcony.  Was Harry up there?

Lani - Love the cake for clynn!  Great pics of the Royal cats!  ;D

kb - We had fog this morning, too, but it has turned out to be a beautiful day.

Here is a few close-ups of a couple of the kitties.  Last pic is of the first born kitty, who is still the smallest.  Please ignore Bradley's posters all over the walls!  ;D

First Egg Hatches at the #CornellHawks! Welcome to the world M1 | May 6, 2023https://youtu.be/EZjFyNbryoQvia cornell labs bird cam

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 2018–2021 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.

A little history on the pair...
(https://i.gyazo.com/9d75dac8200871bf81cc668497a0f15d.jpg)
Arthur on the left Big Red on the right...

Big Red is banded on her right leg. From banding records we know she was banded in nearby Brooktondale, New York, during her first autumn in 2003.
Arthur was first spotted on Cornell University campus as a fledgling in 2016. He is unbanded. The pair first spent time together in April 2017, after Big Red’s previous mate, Ezra, had died. The hawks completed their first breeding season together in 2018.
Big Red’s former mate Ezra and her had raised successful broods every year from 2012–2016.  He died in March 2017.

Hi Karen

Clynn a super busy Saturday for you; New Zealand’s Kea is a very colorful bird

Tsk safe driving and all, have fun

Lisa luved the kitten photos, tks.   Speaking of Prince Harry ( I think he still has his title  ???)  Sadly he was not invited to be on the balconey with the immediate/working royals.  As you know he shot his mouth off about his family in that book of his 'Spare' and I think pretty well 'cooked his goose' with them now and forever.   I hate that an  American is at the root of all lthis 'bitching' and 'biting'. *sigh*

Tks. for the other cam updates Lori

T40  thanks for the links.  Kitty playing  it's food dish at meal time, LOL "Mess with the fishes'  Barn owl. OMG! BlackAdder is one of my faves---so funny.

 This lioness is wearing a tracking collar.  She just mozied out of the bush and plopped herself down for a regal rest.    I'm very rarely  in the right place at the right time when it comes to lions/lionesses. When I do,  snap like crazy and post them all at once.

Busy day so now getting ready for our 3 hour tv time together.....with Chris and Ollie man in his usual position.

boy, I thought he looked like a corgi in this pic Chris took.....he's not as you know....a dwarf GSD and terrier mix.

This will be us tonight..

Lisa, love the kitties!  Long tail!   Saw a mention on Facebook that a tabbyis a boy.  Is that the first one you posted that was smiling?  How many boysand how many girls?  Hope they will let you keepthem with Misty  until they are 10 to 12 weeks old.   They will make much better pets if they will follow the best information available!   Hope you are catching up on sleep.

Temps here are a low of 64 and a high of 82.
I turn the ac on for the season and I set the thermostat for the temps I want and leave it alone. I do not care what it is outside as long as the inside is comfortable.  Do the same with the heat in the winter.

Harry was unable to see part of the coronation because he was behind his aunt, Princess Annewho was in her military uniform which included a hat with a red feather plume!   Lol.
At his request, Harry moved to CaliforniA  And quit working asa working royal.   Too bad.  I would liketo know how long he will live in Cafifornia.

 I am now on a regime of drinking 64 ounces of water a day.  I am dehydrated but have edema in the lowerextremites.  Odd but this is part of the fixi!  No adult Beverages allowed!   Tmi, I am sure!

The New Zealand  Kea is gorgeous! 
I saw a picture of a jacaranda tree someplace and in its solid color of blue flowers was also stunning! 
Good night all.

Debbie is here and in her motel, I will go over there in the morning and she will follow me to Kay's townhouse. She has an appointment with an estate lawyer at 4:00 tomorrow. She goes back Wednesday. Then she will have to come again to finalize everything.

Lori, great pics of the Cornell hawks, they are quite famous!

Phyl, awww, the cat and the horse, so sweet... love the lioness!

Lisa, love the close-ups of the babies...they are so stinkin' cute. I still want them all!

karen, drinking all that water is good, and it will certainly get you walking more... ;D ;D

Lucie and Friends - She was constantly staying near the fish market and watching people come to buy fish. She took a leaf that fell from the tree and came to the owner. On the first day, surprised, he took her "money" and gave her a fish. From that day on, every morning she comes with a leaf to "buy" fish.

getting adventureous and coming too close to the edge. And, are quickly working on that 'baby fence'.

Lisa, there will be a lot more pictures of those little ones, when they start running around and playing! Such fun to come! I have heard that it's hard to tell if male or female at this age, you can right after they are born or much later... but that may be an old wives' tale! I can just hear them in the morning when they all wake up hungry at the same time!  https://youtu.be/Cvcl1RGNxJs

Lani, I can just picture you coming home from your Big Event and just plopping down in your chair with a big 'whew'!  Princess Kitty sound asleep...

Phyl, all looks well at Two Harbors! Great pics of Newman, Savannah brooding and our sweetie DH2!  Can't decide how I feel about Harry, it's a struggle. The royal life is very rigid, and doing everything required may not be for everyone...

Clynn I sympathize with Harry. But, would tell him to ditch(divorce) Megan and grovel to the Crown. Get custody of the kids. They have that prenup so each keeps his/her own.   Nah...with KCIII trimming down the Monarchy, Harry probably would have be 'cut out' no matter.  Since he's too much like his mother. And, who in that would cares about the 2nd and 3rd borns.
On lighter side...great snaps of Friends of Minnesota Nongame Eagle Cam and the Dairyland Power Alma falcons

Lani in few days it'll all be over and like Clynn said 'Whew!"

Tsk De très jolies fleurs aujourd’hui.  Have had the A/C off and on for the past3 wks. Today we got up to 88F outside. Righrt now it's raining cats and dogs.
Just hung a new hummer feeder up---i'ts so pretty will have to take a snap sometime. The hummers have beenm back for the past 1.5 wks. I bet yours will arriv e soon.

Karen  you're doing so well and seem to have a routine down pat.   64 oz is a lotta water --but your brain will be well hydrated and a well watered brain is precious as I understand.
LOL Publix---I also go to Aldi's. And, no I don't feel like a 'traitor' LOL
A person is so much better off leaveing the 'soft drinks' alone. Jim's cardo says not to drink the stuff---does Jim listen to either of us? Noooooooo!

Puff growing up an only isn't too bad..it will just take DH2 a little longer and a few more tough experiences... Nature will see that he'll be the stronger.  ;)

Kb pretty Mn snap;  pets never think they're 'too heavy'. 

Tig know you know---on the over doing.

Lani  sweet little kid  :-*   Congrats on being a chair to the nominating committee; I sue hope the link to Nat Geo articel works. I keep forgetting that folks here don't have a digital subscription like I do.

Good Evening Beakers

We had a storm go thru that started at 5:15 and is just now fading out.  at 4pm we were at 87, by 5:15 it had dropped to 81, by 5:35 it was only 62 with hail and heavy rain and winds of 35mph - the hail was marble size at the largest, but it lasted for about 20 min.  we got about 1/3 of inch of rain - temps to stay around 60 for the overnight and only 76 for a high for Monday...

Only got 2 games in last night - 1 win and 1 loss - second game was not even close. ::)

Someone asked about the Wave Petunia...  We sell alot of them at the store...

Wave petunias were developed in the mid-1990's as a hybrid of the standard petunia plant. Up until that time, petunias rarely grew beyond ten to twelve inches in length. But that all changed with the introduction of the Wave petunia, and it became an instant sensation! (Apr 23, 2022)

Wave petunias have a unique trailing growth habit and are highly prolific in their blooming. They drape over the sides of containers and raised beds and are great summer performers. A regular petunia has an upright or bush growth habit. It may spread slightly, but will not drape down as dramatically as a Wave petunia.

Hi all Beakers!

We are back safe & sound from our (almost) 2 week trip to TN.  Got back last night at midnight - went to bed at 1:30, but then couldn't go to sleep right away, as again, I was realizing how empty our home is without my beloved little Star.  I miss her so much.

We visited Dolly Parton's 'Dollywood' park and that was so much fun and such a lovely experience.  We visited my cousin & her husband for a few days and during that time we went on a Riverboat cruise and that was really fun.  Then we drove across TN for a couple of hours in Nashville, but we did not stay there.  We visited a few places while in Nashville and had lunch, then drove to Memphis.  While in Memphis, we visited Elvis' Graceland.  That was a beautiful tour that I cannot even put into words.  It was so special.  Our time in TN went by so fast!  There were others things we toured & visited, but those were the highlights!

Clynn - I was sad to read about your friend Kay passing.  You were a beautiful friend to her.  I did not take my laptop on our trip, and did not get on line much because I only had my cell.

Kb - Love the cut pic of you & Ollie relaxing on couch  :)

Hi Tsk  :)

LisaG - Cute pics of the kittens! 

Lani - Happy the busy convention is over and hope you are getting some rest now!

T40 - Love the 'Murphy the eagle' (becoming a Dad) story  :-*

Lori - Hope you are feeling better now.  :-*

Hello to Puff, Tig, Oldguy, Phyl, Baz, Karen  :)

I'm almost nodding out - need to get used to the time difference.  For most of the time we were on eastern time, then central, and back to pacific time today! ;)
My Mom & sis came over for a couple hours today to visit and catch up on things with us.  :)

Oldguy, Maru is a hoot! He loved the guest bed. I love wave petunias in baskets, but they always get aphids after a couple of weeks. They are available at Home Depot

T40, Sweet Murphy and his adopted eaglet has been shared a lot here. Thanks for another good video about it.

Lori, cute morning pics, I hope all is well after the storm passes.

Lisa, When do the kittens visit the vet? Looking forward to Jeff's video.  ;D

Welcome home Eagles! You were missed! Glad to hear you and Kris had a good time, especially visiting Dollywood and Graceland.  ;D ...I bet it was wonderful catching up with your mom and sis....   I hope you're able to sleep tonight, sending hugs and a prayer for peace in your heart.  :-*

BL  :)

Good night! from E22 sibling E21 was last seen 4/29 after stopping to visit with E22 and then soared away from the nest. E22 sleeps in the nest tonight. It was a day of soaring and flights of exploration. M treated E22 to a RK rabbit. No views of E21. Sleep safely Eagles. Watch over them Mom and Great Spirit.

Yesterday was busy, as will be today and tomorrow! Debbie and I went through Kay's house, she just wanted to see what was what. I left around noon and she gathered all the papers she could find to take back to the hotel to go through, then she came over here for dinner. Kelsey's Lasagna! Today she meets with an estate attorney at 4:00. Dianna and I are meeting her at 9:30 this morning, the plan is to make zones to gather things together: Debbie, Dianna, Me, Goodwill and trash.

Lani, sweet picture of E22 sleeping with his head all tucked in...

E4E, welcome home! Sounds like you had a good time. Hope it was relaxing and now you can get going again...

oldguy, I love the Wave petunias, but I have absolutely no luck with them. My aunt can plant 5 plants in a 12' long stone window box with crappy dirt and they go crazy!

Lisa, I had to turn the AC on yesterday evening, I opened the patio door and the hot air came in like a furnace blast! Plus I had the oven on which doesn't help! I turned it off after dark. Are the kittens running around yet?

Lori, lots of cute pictures!!  Hope you and your Mom are okay after the storm that blew through!

Phyl, are those goose feet? Or the feet of the pelican in the picture below? I didn't know they had claws either! Love the picture of DH2 with his head under HM! Two Harbors still safe, I got these pictures of the little one from the chat:

My  dads birthday was yesterday!  He would have. Been well over 100!
Clynn, you are so busy!  Nice to have Debbie over for dinner!  Am sure Kelsey liked that    Love the pictures of 22 , dh2 and the adorable sleeping Donkeys!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

49 with rain forecasted for today.

KB   That house piece is so funny and true!  ;D

LISA  Wave petunias are a variety where you don't have to keep pinching off the flowers - they keep trailing and look nice all summer.

OLDGUY    Quite a storm.  My car's hail damage from weeks ago will finally get repaired on Thursday.  Hope you didn't have any.   Thanks for filling in my sparse definition of Wave petunia!!  ;D

EAGLES   You're back  ;D   Very busy and ambitious trip - Lots of driving. Sounds like a great time.  Good food too??  Funny about the time zones.  ;)

LANI  Saw that lion saying yesterday - good one.   I"ve never had a problem with aphids  :-\ :-\

PHYL   Love the white pelican close ups.   Feet - very cool.  DH2  looks like a cat trying to hide under the bed.

CLYNN  You are such a good friend and so nice to have Debbie for dinner and Kelsey's home cooking.  Big project at Kay's and am sure Debbie is so grateful for the help you and Dianna are providing.   I don't plant Waves - I just use them in hanging pots.

My arborist found a couple more large branches that were cracked on our large spruce.... and some from previous storms. We will be busy sawing them to size to take to the yard waste site.

Tsk I've seen that some folks plant those wave petunia in the ground and allow to trail on  a trellis.  Got your auto's hail damage repaired---good as new  ;)

Lisa the storm yesterday and last night was one of our worst---been ages since I've heard rain hit that hard and fast. Good thing the grille was secured.

Lani - Thank you so much - appreciate your kind thoughts. :-*   Love the pic and status of E22  :)

Kb - Forgot to comment on 'How your house is looked at'  LOL!  So true!! ;D   Love the pic you posted this morning - very nice!!

Phyl - Beautiful cam pic of Mississippi River Flyway Cam and those webbed feet!  Sweet DH2 under Mom-brella  :)  Like cam pics of Great Spirits Bluff Falcons and Two Harbors BE Cam.  Liked the 'Stoner Sheep' article. ;)

Clynn - You sure are a very busy person (and a much needed one!).  Try to find some time for yourself at the end of each day  :-* :)   Nice pics of Two Harbors little one!  I bet Kelsey's lasagna was delicious!  Thanks for all the pics and posts. :)

Karen - Awe, your Dad's heavenly birthday yesterday - such memories for you {Karen}

Tsk - That will be nice to get your hail-damaged car repaired this week!  You asked about food during our trip;  the best food we ate was on Beale Street in Memphis called 'Blues City Cafe'  Yum! ;D

LisaG - Have a nice trip over to Home Depot!  Sounds like the kittens are doing well and nice that their eyes are open now. :)

Tig - Thumbs up for your good workout this a.m.  8)

OG - Sounds like a good amount of rain and then some nice temps to warm up;  perfect! :)

Hi Puff, Lori, Baz, Weasel, Blschue  :)

I sort of forgot to explain this part of our trip;  we had flown out of SFO, then had a lay-over in Denver, then flew to Knoxville, where we rented a car.  We drove this car to all the other places we went, then turned in the car at the airport in Memphis and caught our flight, but with another lay-over in Denver, then back to SFO.  We then collected our car out of long-term parking; $300.00 to be exact. :o   Not planning another trip anytime soon - nope, we are going to stay home for quite a while now. :)
One of the nicest things is during the trip, we met many wonderful people and had good/fun conversations - lots of memories now. ;D

Everyone have a nice afternoon.

Phyl - Jeff is not a fan of weather like that. 

oldguy - Those are my kinda temps too.  It's 80 and hot here today, so the AC went on.  These kitties were hot (that's my excuse).  ;D

Lani - Awww, cute pic from TRR!

Puff - Thanks for the room info.  I will pass it along to anyone who may ask.  :D

E4E -  :o $300 for long-term parking!  That's like a car rental.

Lisa, I always think ofblack kitties asmales so am glad to bearthat one of your sweet little black kitties is a little boy!  Will they be 6 weeks when they get their first shots? 

E4e, i know Sf is expensive so. Do not know if this would work for you or not.  Friends and i would leave home a day before the plan was leaving and check into a hotel/motel and then shop, etc. in the morning we would check opt and take their airport shuttle.   You might not be able get to get a room for less than 300 so might not work.  Do they have airport shuttles for less?
Just  bought a new printer and the geek squad will deliver and  install  it tomorrow.

Called tru green to come and spray my infected  Cleveland oears but I do not know when they will call or show up!

Have one and a half of water glasses to go today

We are very blessed to have family in town that will take us and pick up from the airport.
It took us 1.5 hours to saw and break the branches into manageable size. We dropped one car full at the site and another will go Wed. I/we had a station wagon for 18 years and now a CR-V. They sure come in handy.

Kb - No, did not.  Just not enough time for everything.

LisaG - Yeah, the long term parking tab at SF Airport caught us by surprise - but what can you do - we had to park our car! ::)  "Yikes"!

Karen - We thought of booking a room near the airport and getting a shuttle, but then, it would have all probably costed about the same.  Also, we did that once before at this airport and when we arrived back in SF, we had to call the motel/shuttle and WAIT for them to arrive and then give us a ride to the Airport, so we didn't want to do that.
 Anyway, that night, it was a big effort to find the place to board the Air Tram and get to Long Term Parking (they need more signage)!  It was confusing and ALOT of walking.  I was done in - so tired.  Don't want to deal with SFO again.  I was just so glad to get into our car and head home!

Tig - You are lucky to have family to take you to the airport.  We definitely do not have anyone to call on for transportation (unless its Uber or something like that).

Tsk - Yes, we did cover a lot of ground in driving to all places between Knoxville and Memphis!  TN is a beautiful State.  We definitely see why my cousin & her hubby moved there after retiring in CA.  They have lived there for over 2 years and love it.

LisaG - Beautiful kittens!  They sure have grown since birth! :)  Hope you & Jeff are finally getting more sleep  :)

Phyl - Yes, it was a fun trip  :)   My cousin wants us to move to TN, but I don't see that happening because of my other family members here in CA.

Hi Karen  :)

Lori - Awe how sweet; Newman & Savannah - too cute!!   Love the Decorah pics!

Puff - Yum! Potato soup for dinner.  Enjoy snuggling and watching the game  :)

Lani - Hope all is good with your family  :)

Karen   LOL finding every public restroom in Nashville---do they  make purse-size cans of Lysol spray?

Eagles I hear ya about staying in Cali.   

Lori tks for GSB update and Decorah hatchery #2--I will always think those pin feathers hurt when pushing thru the skin.  :(

Lisa luv the look on Misty's face in that snap. 

Puff haven't had potato soup since my mom died--have her receipe, should make some next fall

You're a true friend, Kay's smiling.  :-* ... cute pics of Two Harbor's eaglet with the full crop ;D .... what a great pic of E22 and dad still providing.  :-*

Karen, Happy heavenly birthday to your dad....

Tsk, I wonder if it's the supplier Home Depot buys their plants from. I love Wave Petunias I never had problems with them when I bought them from Lowe's in Scottsdale or Kansas.

Kb, sweet morning pic.

Lisa, awww their first shots, and then you'll know the sex of those babies.  ;D

Tig, sorry about your tree.

Puff, I can't believe After The Fledge is almost here. Everyone will have a special one with DH2 to enjoy.

Eagles, WOW what a car trip, fun I'm sure, lots to see and enjoy, but I bet you were glad when you finally entered your home.... Did you take any photos you can share? Especially of Graceland  ;D

Karen, Can you eat the pears from your tree? I love pears.... I hope the arborist can help and you'll like your new printer.

Lori, beautiful posts of the Decorah family.

Eagles, Mike is in Louisiana this week, and Aly has covid. She was sick this weekend, which we thought was allergies, and tested positive today. I have someone coming to help her with the pets while I'm gone... I hope you have a good night's sleep tonight.

Good night!

We got a lot done yesterday at Kay's, most of the main floor, which is where most of the stuff is. We have someone coming this afternoon to haul trash off and will call one of the donation places to pick up stuff when we are all done. Dianna can let them in to get the stuff since she lives next door. Erin is going to do the lower level, garage and storage room. 

Lani, I chuckled when you said Kay was smiling! We were talking about her yesterday and said she was probably freaking out at what we were throwing away, especially the food stuff!  Awww, Aly has covid, dagnabit! And Mike is gone and you have your big conference coming! When it rains, it pours...

Lori, so many thanks for the pics of GSB, two hatched on the same day, WOW! Love the sweet kiss! And sweet little DH2, with a crop so full he can barely sit up!

Lisa, the little sweet kitties are so sweet, Misty is a beautiful Mom!

E4E, bet you were glad to hit your front door! Trips are wonderful, but so is getting home!

Phyl, are there two nests of Black Eagles? The one I have watched is in The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden and there is a cam on the nest... 2 eggs in the nest. Can hardly ever see the eggs, but can see the chick after a few days old.

CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc.
Last Thursday, this infant female Nine-banded Armadillo (23-1618) was admitted from North Fort Myers after she was found alone and the finders were fearful for her safety.
Upon admission, she was quiet and emaciated. Staff removed some small ticks from her hind legs and noted a scabbed wound along her leg. Armadillos are extremely susceptible to developing sepsis from even a tiny cut so staff immediately administered antibiotics and vitamin k along with a calcium supplement. The tiny armadillo was cold upon admission so she was placed in an incubator for support.

HI EVERYONE

49  mostly cloudy heading to 66

KAREN    We had a Bradford pear ( city planted) on the public parkway in our first home.   This Cleveland pear was recommended by the arborist when we lost our birch tree.  It's a fast grower.   I don't see much difference in them .  Beautiful white flowers on both.

LORI   Thanks for GSB update - 2 kiddos.  ;D   That crop on DH2   :o :o :o

PUFF   Would you believe I had a hot chocolate yesterday as well  LOLOL  Ready Whip - no marshmallows  ;) ;)

LANI  ((( Aly)))  Boy that virus never gives up!!!    And now with Mike away and you leaving - What a week!

CLYNN  Saw that little armadillo yesterday.  So vulnerable.   Boy that is a real team effort at Kay's  Hugs to Erin for helping out.

PHYL   It was a beauty of a day today.  Walked the 6 blocks to Bible study this afternoon.  Easier than the last time - progress?  Jewel had the best prices on the hanging pots I like so got some of those.

EAGLES  We were a bit warmer than you today  ;)

KB   That little running owl made me smile - so cute ;D ;D   Gorgeous tulips - That 's a lot of hands and knees planting of bulbs.  The Botanic garden plants them at 3 different levels so they have tulips blooming for a longer period - clever.

KAREN  Nip the vertigo in the bud!  Is Tru Green a tree company as well or just lawns?

OK  Everyone - Lulu's DNA report is in - all 69 pages  :o :o :o   Breeds are divided into Western, Eastern, Persian and Exotic.

Lulu is 70%  Western which includes a diversity of origins - Turkey, Russa, Europe, USA. So of the cat breeds (10) included in Western; she has characteristics from 5 - 1. 32%  Broadly western     2. 18.5%  Maine Coon     3. 7.75 %  American shorthair     4. 6.5 % Russian Blue and   5. 4.6%  Siberian.
The other 30% comes from the other groups but in the 2-3% so am not including them
I have no idea what " Broadly Western" means and they don't define it.  From what I read of the other 4 varieties I'll mention what characteristics I see in her that resemble that breed:

Maine Coon - " playful, doglike, complex vocal sounds***  ( so many more that she is not like)
American Shorthair   " skilled hunter, large eyes, powerful jaws, full cheeks, not particularly a lap cat but likes to sit close***
Russian Blue  curious***  social and intelligent
Siberian - have not found anything yet - supposedly very good at sensing human emotion.

Health is good except she is high risk for periodontal disease and bad breath ( she does not have)  Report says she already has this   ??? ??? ???

What is so interesting is in all the cats mentioned from all 4 major breed groups - not once is Siamese mentioned!!!

Post by: karengramke on May 09, 2023, 07:31:11 PM

Fascinating about Lulus dna!  She looks like a calico Americans shorthair!    Who knew!
The guy who is coming from tru green is supposedly  a tree person,  i will not bet on it!  I will look for an arborist later but none showed up on my initial searches.
All have a good night!g

Karen - I hope you get a good & reliable arborist! 

Kb - Yes, you got it correct about our trip!  I see you were out in your yard today - you are always busy!  We sprayed for weeds in our lawn today.  Weeds going crazy!

Phyl - Yes, Thank you!  Feeling caught up on sleep.  Did laundry yesterday and some today, so all finished with clothing from our trip!  Thank you for the Cam pics.

LisaG - Actually, baby shower stuff was probably more important! ;)   There will be another day to go to the Home Depot  ;D

Karen - So frustrating not to get your phone calls returned.  I would advise to call those people again and keep bugging if you have to.  Remember the saying "Squeeky wheel gets the grease".

Lisa got it on the baby shower.

Tsk glad your temps are getting better;  sounds like a real nice walk. 
Mike was 99.5% Maine coon  so when you talked about Lulu playing fetch and all---Bingo!

I can't speak to Baz's NC adventures ..
But the weather from us to her has been pretty stellar of late.
Perhaps Baz is just out and about frolicking in the NC Springtime as Bazi's have been known to do.   :-*

Pip and I are here on the shores of the Chattooga River GA/SC and we are more than cool and watercraft alright.

-Side- Baz we really tried to dip the Pickle into the headwaters of the Chattooga River in NC, but it was just too low there.   :(

Down river jump. Overcome Improvise Adapt.

If I was a trout I'd be on the end of Phil's line, but alas the wrong fly.

We got the hatch fly dialed in now .. butter and lemon trout sizzling in a real old school iron skillet as I type.   8)

We have been eyeballing this river reach for some time.
An opportunity from a fellow expert outdoors guide (Sally) was kindly offered and accepted.

Good Morning Beakers!

Whew, yesterday was a long day! Some guys came with a dumpster truck and took out all the bags of trash and some pieces of furniture that needed to go. They were about ready to leave when Debbie asked if they would take the piano...yes, for $225 and the XL lift chair, yes for $65. Total $716 for that haul. The place is looking better! Debbie goes back to FL today. Dianna and I will organize the Donate items, and would you believe, Dianna's good friend Straub loves to sell stuff on FB Marketplace. Debbie told him he could sell anything that's not marked for her to keep and keep all the $$$ for himself. We have the dumpster ordered for the garage/storage room, which Erin will take care of next weekend. There is just so much to do when clearing a house, I am sure oldguy knows exactly what I mean!! Debbie will be back in a couple of weeks.

Lani, so glad to hear that Aly is feeling better! Sometimes things just happen at the worst times...  Dang, I hope she finds a place soon!

oldguy, went to the Tulip Festival last year for the 4th time, what a massive event! You park in various places they have outside of the town proper and tractor pulled trollys take you to the action, I know you already know this...just describing for others! We always get Dutch Letters and Jerky. The parade is Dutch, Dutch Dutch!  And fun to see!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSAfocinprU

tsk, you are doing good with your walking!

karen, we had Trugreen for a few years. They killed the grass on one area of my lawn and I argued and argued with them, they finally fixed it. But like you say, they kept calling, trying to get me to purchase more and more services. They even aerated my lawn without my permission, which I refused to pay for. 'Let me think about it' does NOT translate to 'Yes, go ahead and do it'. Especially when the charge was $400! Hope you get the vertigo nipped!

Phyl, that baboon is sleeping on a rather thin branch, I had to go back and now I see the baby!  The babies at GSB! So tiny and white! Looks like 3, I must have missed the last one! Just read your post, now there are 4! Sweet picture of DH2! Lovely sunrise on the Flyway, and your bluebirds! Looks like the turtle is ready to catch some sun!

kb, tulips are pretty, looks like a street in Pella!

Lisa, a shower is a big deal! I know they invite men now, but it used to be a strictly girl thing!

E4E, sounds like you are settling down after your trip...it takes a bit to get back to normal...even if it's a new normal...

Wild Heart Ranch - Good Morning Everyone!!! Not a lot out there cuter than this little one. 💚💚 -Greg

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

48  heading to 78 and sunny  :)

Thought you might enjoy my azalea this AM. Behind it  is a floppy false cyprus

PHYL   I thought for sure there was some Siamese in Lulu... ::)  If it weren't for you I'd never know what a baby bluebird looked like.  thanks  Cute little turtle catching some rays

OLDGUY   I've heard of the Pella tulip festival.  I've only been to the one in Holland, Michigan   300,000 bulbs  :o  Love taking pics of tulips.

BL   Sounds like a really fun adventure!  esp the buttered/lemon trout YUM

LANI   Good luck and breathe  :-*  Tough apt hunting for Aly but glad she is on the mend

CLYNN    The last thing to go in my Mom's house was the organ - could not find ANYONE or organization to take it.  Finally called a "junk" guy and it had to be taken apart to get it out of the house.  Told him he could keep $ for what ever he could sell from it.   Pella looks like a fun event.   We also tried TruGreen and cancelled them as the mowing ruined our lawn.   This was way back.  Tim takes total care of the lawn now.

Spanky is Shadow's last cub (Shadow is 36 years old and matriarch of this black bear family)

Hmm, this looks like what I might just do today, sans sheep of course!...

Sunny and 82 sounds perfect to sit on my deck and just listen to music for a few hours...in other words, do nothing.

tsk - beautiful azalea.....my rhododendrum was pretty much destroyed last winter...so much ice/and snow on top plus a few bunny cuts and I don't know if she'll recover...certainly not this year.....just one of many destroyed.

Lani - oh geesh, the market sounds awfully tight up there....I sure hope she can find something that she likes.

kb - Wow, the tulips on Roselawn Ave. are beautiful!

tsk - Very interesting on Lulu's DNA.  Your azalea is beautiful.  I tried growing some here years ago, and they just never took.  I had them in my yard when I lived in Mississippi.  Loved them!

E4E - I agree the baby shower stuff is important, but I like to get my flowers for front garden.  I am going out for my Pre-op appointment tomorrow, so will stop by Home Depot, if I don't get sidetracked again.  ;D

Phyl - Beautiful pics from the cams. Baby shower is going to be at a park.  Bradley and Kelly are anything but traditional and like nothing fancy.  I am ordering sandwich platters, but I will be making a vegetable tray, fruit tray, cheese tray, and my shrimp dip. 

oldguy - Beautiful pics of the tulips. 

BL - Enjoy your trip on the river in GA/SC!

Lani - All of the fur babies are getting big.  Here is a pic Jeff took last night after weighing them all.

Hi Tig, Puff, Karen, Baz  :)

Phyl - Nice Flamingo pic.  Nice temp for you today!  Thanks for posting Nora's. :)  Cute bluebirds!  Decorah little E's  ;D  Thank you!  Love the Turtle  ;D

OG - Such beautiful colors of Tulips in IA - thank you for link - loved the vid!

Lani - Wishing all the best for your trip (try not to overdo).  Glad to hear Aly is feeling a bit better.  Hope she finds a place that will be right for her - I can only imagine how hard it would be - just keep persisting and hopefully she will get lucky in getting the right place. {Aly}

Clynn - All of you are getting LOTS cleared out in a short amount of time - thank goodness for all of you banding together. Take care and hope you are not getting too sore from everything you are doing!
Yes, you are right that it takes time to settle into a new 'normal'.  I have removed / changed some things in my house.

Tsk - Beautiful Azalea - thanks for the pic.

Kb - Gorgeous Australian cattle pup!

LisaG - You are a busy girl - always taking care of things! :)  Everything you are doing for the Baby shower will be wonderful and delicious!!   I too, need to get over to either Lowes or the Home Depot for annual flowers!   Wishing you all the best at your pre-op appt tomorrow.   Tell Jeff thank you for the darling photo of kittys & Mama!

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Clynn Kay stories scare me.  I'm getting nowhere with thinning/eliminating Ton's stuff.  Things always get in the way; over a year now. :-\  I've been getting nowhere with getting outside list down either. Might be put on hold soon, too.  Que sera sera. 

Lisa Really thank you for the pics, with the kitties and the WHR.  It is an automatic smile from ear to ear.  Good you changed the background.

TruGreen - Have used it since @ 1975.  I always bragged I had the best lawn in Darien.  Last two years or so things have changed. First, they made me give up my lawn mower to some iffy non-grass lovers.  I also got a time-limit of 2 hours if going to the yard.  My compromise?  Work 2 hours, take a break, do another 2 hours, take drugs!  One good change:  my primary doc said I can take 2 extra strength Bayer 3x a day.  Excedrin types do nada for me, garbage.  I called cardio doc who said he saw my chart changes.  He OK'd but wants to do another blood test at 3 months just to see any changes.  Bayer always were helpful for me.  Arthritis diagnosed when in my 30's.  Helps me!

I've divided outside to three challenges: front/sides of house, back/patio areas, veggie garden.  Let me see how far I can smartly get to before my next week deadline. 

Wishing all of us "driven" fools good success on our chores and limits!

Later. . .

KB   That pup has it made   ;) ;)

LISA   Pre-op - Is that for your ears?  Love how the babies are all " cattywompas"   LOL

EAGLES   Again we are warmer than you - 75 now - Maybe 80 today.

PUFF   When Tim's bro died at the age of 50 in his sleep it took his SIL  5 years to remove his clothes from the closet.   Re Bayer - stick with what works I always say.  I am going to do a little gardening this afternoon - ( forbidden until the end of May) but think I can do some weigela trimming and minimal weeds without too much bending and certainly no lifting!

TSK... take it easy
The city cleaned up the yard and driveway (that was littered with garage sale items since last Fall) of the hoarder down the street. He is/was a member at my Y and no one knows if he passed or what. He has not been seen for a month. And my usual investigative skills have not discovered his name so I'm not able to search obits. Hmmm...

Tks for Wild Heart Ranch update, cute little racoon; lots of furry purry  kits  :-* :-* in Lisa's nursery

Tsk pretty azaleas. Mine are white and somewhat neglected.  Thank you for the kind comment on my bluebirds.

I will just be happy to not get dizzy every now and then, and the puffiness under my eyes will go away with the tubes in ears.  All that fluid will be flowing smoothly.

Puff - my sister is in the same boat; the only thing is, her husband passed in Sep of 2015 and she still has boxes of his personal stuff that she can't seem to let go.

Tsk - Nice you are enjoying some nice temps - weather guy says we are warming up on Friday & Saturday!   May I ask how many years ago Tim's brother passed away at age 50?  That is the age that my sister's husband passed away.   I am not surprised that you are out in your yard doing a little bit gardening. ;) :)

Tig - Good for you in going to pool and taking care of taking out yard waste.  You are definitely keeping busy! :)  Let us know how you feel after your covid shot today!

LisaG - Take care - we know you are super busy these days!

Phyl - Thank you!  Thank you for links.

Kb - Good for you in all you accomplished.  Glad you got to rest a bit in the sun until the clouds rolled in.

Karen - sounds like you were taking care of business today!  Have a good night.

Hi Oldguy, Clynn, Lani, Lori, Baz, Weasel, Blschue :)

Good night everyone.

some bounce
Arm is just a bit sore, as usual with any shot. Otherwise, I feel fine so far. I see we got in just in time with the emergency ending... and at some point shots may cost? Hopefully medicare will still cover them going forward.
18 are various marigolds planted in a raised flower box beneath the windmill at the corner of the garden... which might help deter mosquitoes as I pick service and raspberries. The other 12 are wave petunias planted around 2 Dipladenia in 2 hanging pots which will join a preplanted/ purchased hanging pot of calibrachoa which will hang to the west of our seating area in the garden. I'm holding off (still deciding) on other areas like patio and sidewalk edge, for now.
I'll be getting the car serviced today and a plumber is coming to flush the water heater. If the car needs brakes I'll have my book.

Debbie is back in FL, she will be back in a couple of weeks when the attorney has everything ready. I have a dumpster coming Friday for the garage/storage room, it will be done by the end of next week. Dianna and I will go there Monday and organize/box the donation items. There will still be a few big items that aren't good enough to donate, couch, lazy boy, mattresses. I didn't have Bella yesterday, I was just too tired. We will have them Friday evening while Erin and Sydney start on the garage. I will get pictures then!

Lani, I'm wondering if you are having internet problems again, missed your good night post... Hope all is well...

oldguy, scattered thunderstorms this afternoon, showers at night. No rain on the forecast for tomorrow, but some on the Weekend.  Maru definitely has a Level 10 of meltability!

tsk, Ed's father died in 1971. When his Mom passed in 2011 she still had not gotten rid of his clothes...still in the closet and the dresser.

tig, I got Shingrix #2, DTaP and the latest Covid vaccine yesterday, both arms are a bit sore, but no other problems. Good luck with the planting!

Lisa, love this picture you took at Decorah!

HI EVERYONE

53 heading to 80 and sunny

KAREN   Did you get your printer?

EAGLES    I believe Tim's bro died 15 yrs ago as he was 10 years younger than Tim who is 75.

OLDGUY   So far for us - big time rain tomorrow - over an inch they say.   Busy few days for you.    Yikes - I have some piano backround so learning that Harpejji  would be a real mind bender for me.  LOL  Very cool tho.

TIG   Calibrachoa - I'm using a lot of this year instead of all Wave petunias.  Dipladenia - had to google - never heard of that before.  Pretty.
  I suspect the Covid boosters will be like the flu shot - every fall and covered.  We shall see.

CLYNN  Mattresses should go in the dumpster - No one takes them.  Do you have a " Restore" in the area for the other furniture?   Think Lani heads to the convention this AM  til Sat night.  Great pic from Sue of HM and DH2  ;D  Standing now.

PHYL  6 eggs - a first?  LANI said she was on her way to the convention this AM

Off to the Botanic Gardens this AM - gorgeous day - a real test for walking endurance..LOL

tsk, thanks, I couldn't remember when she was leaving! She was probably busy getting everything together! Hope all goes well for the convention! Kay's mattresses were trashed during the Big Cleanup, she bought new and had never slept on them, plus they have been covered the whole time with a heavy ugly bedspread that Ed got at the DAV. Of course, if we can't find someone we know who wants them into the dumpster they will go!

Phyl, no I haven't heard from her... Love those 6 beautiful blue eggs! Four little ones at GSB!  Wow! The two at Norwich Cathedral have died, they don't know why...

kb, love all the turtle things! Turtle Tursday!

KB Wow. That's an old turtle there. And, so big. LOL  ;D   Your video, I've read turtles come to the rescue of an overturned one. It's official 'Turtle Thursday'

Clynn tks. I had forgotten when Lani was leaving.  So sad about two at Norwich Cathedral  passing.    :'(    Seems like the season for that.

Safe travels Lani

Today is party cloudy & sunny, high of 65

Phyl - I read your link on the lingering coughs - makes sense and learned something - good article!

Oldguy - As always, appreciate the links!  Have a nice work day.  While you will be having rain for 4 days, we are beginning a warm up for the next few days. :)

Tig - I bet your yard is looking beautiful!  Glad you are feeling fine from those shots - hopefully not too sore. :)

Clynn - Nice that you will have Bella on Friday - you've been working so much lately that you needed a little rest.  Looking forward to more Bella pics soon!  Glad to know you got your 2nd Shingrix shot.  Hope your soreness from having two shots goes away quickly. :)  Thanks for the Decorah pics!

Phyl - Love the 'Thursday' pic this morning!  Beautiful bluebird!  Like the Decorah pic and the Falcon pic.  :)

Tsk - ok, thank you for answering my question.  Have a wonderful time at the Botanical Gardens - do not overdo the walking! ;) :)

Kb - Love the turtle pics! ;D   Hope you & Ollie find a 'dry' time today for a walk!

Lani - Be safe at the convention and hope all goes nicely. :)

Our convention theme is the Butterfly, and we have them everywhere  ;D

I'm sorry I didn't post last night, I was so tired after setting up our Registration/Badges room. So much last minute changes, additions, for attendees and meal tickets. My inbox/iphone text didn't stop ringing until 11pm...  My head was spinning along with many others. You set something up one way for one board member, then an executive board member wants it changed another. There was a couple of moments where I felt like a child caught in the middle of their parents. I wanted to tiptoe out of the room backwards.... All the while I'm saying "that's okay, no problem, I'll do whatever"  :-X I didn't get to my room until 10pm, I checked in the Beak a couple of times, but didn't have time to post. sorry  :(

I've been up since 4am, had breakfast and a two hour meeting, then there's another one at 9:00, then its all business until 6pm. I'm looking forward to my adult beverage soon after that.  8) ... Then tomorrow conference opens at 7am straight to 9pm. Again looking forward to adult beverage  8)

I hope you all are well, we've had a few cancellations because of covid. Darn thing must be going around again.  :(
But, I've got my mask (because of Aly) as does others... so please be well and safe.
God bless and I hope to be able to have a quiet sit down with all of you tonight.
Have a lovely day  :-*

kb - Wow, 191 years old! 

tsk - Enjoy the gardens, and hope there is a place for you to sit if you need to take a break from walking.

Phyl - Love the pic of your blue eggs! 

tig - Hope your arm is feeling ok today. 

Lani - After reading your post, I can see why you were too tired to post.  Yep, I think the Covid is going around again.  My brother has it, hoping Mama and the rest of them don't get it!  Have a great time at your convention!

Just curious tig....I know I've read some things about draining your water heater for over 24 years.
I just never have...My first water heater lasted app. 20 years and I bought a new one in 2020?....anyway, it can't hurt is what I'm thinking, but also not sure it makes a difference?....what say you?

The water heater I bought in 2020 I bought cause I thought it was leaking...at the end of the day it was more likely my furnace de-humidifier as that was still leaking and caught by centerpoint after the install....
taken care of then so I don't even know if I needed it truly.
Am curious though.
At the end of the day I'm thinking it may depend on the source of one's water....I get ours from our own aquifers...am guessing you might from the Mississippi?...and if so may need different water treatment from the plant than ours?

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

I have over a week of posts to read to catch up in The Beak!!  :o ;) So, it will take a while.  :D

I had a great trip to visit my closest, lifelong, friend, who lives in Georgia. The drive was almost 7 hours down, but I made it in 6-and-a-half coming home. Don't tell the po-po.  ;D  I haven't taken a solo drive that long in a long time. No issues, thankfully. Well, the next morning I woke up to a car with a battery that was as dead as a doornail.  AAA provided a very prompt rescue. You know the law... only on weekends, holidays, or when out-of-town.  ;) :D  Had a great visit, and did lots of fun stuff, and saw all her family - who I feel as close to as if I were part of it... knew most of them before they were born, you know...  Loved getting back to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, too, especially this time of year. Also, a plus this visit was seeing the, "Trolls: Save the Humans," by Thomas Dambo, an outdoor exhibit in the gardens there now! A traveling set of 6 giant wood sculptures... as the world premier of these 6 Trolls... fun to see them!  He has others on exhibit in various countries around the world.

I always take the opportunity to advise/mandate -- If you get a rental car in Colorado take the hail insurance.  It's not a come on or scam - as you can see, hail is a problem.

Tsk pretty flowers this AM; how was you walking at the Botanic Gardens ?

Eagles pretty tulips; I recall my mom talking abour Tangee lipstick, felt nostalgic and missing  her so much today.


Lisa w/pre-op out completed that'l make  your 'day of' go more smoothly and less stressful I' m sure.  Pets to Momcat and kittens. Uncle Bandit too.

KB you and the Ollieman get a walk  into the day?

Lani nice to see you arriv ed safetly and all 'set-up' dispite the 'c hanges' in wants and likes---so far no CoVid and Publix isn't pressing the issue at work nor are the
customers. Enjoy your convention and the menu.

Karen how do you like the new printer?

Tig good news on the auto repair and the CoVid arm

KBgood luck w/water heater/draining. We 'v e drained ours once since 21 yrs

Tsk  1.5 mi is a nice walk. Looking forward to photos. Sounds like you feel fine afterwards to do yard work. Still don't over do. Although you knoe yourself better
than we do.  ;)

Bazi I bet you mentioned you jaunt to GA and I missed reading it. Glad it well and was fun. Doing good with just a dead battery and that's bad
enough. The Atlanta Botanical Garden, sounds like fun for everyone.  Photos to be posted?  Enjoyed the links below. Tks

T40 heart goes out to Colorado osprey mom. Gee! You know that  had to hurt like the Dickens. many thanks for the cam footage. So happy to read eggletts and mom are fine. Tks

Did get a walk in with Ollie today

I waited too long though....it was 1 pm and although I bring water he got too hot....I could tell as he slowed way down..Remember he is black and low to the ground/tar...

From now on, I will need to walk him in the mornings or not at all..

I have never drained my water heaters....just curious why some do this....and, if I've been remiss or not, but thinking not since they've lasted so long so far, knock on wood.

tig - I get my water from the "city" as well...but where the city gets IT is the bottom line as water is treated differently depending on if from an aquifer or from the river.

That's okay though....I'm getting neither here nor there...Thanks though.

I only learned in my thirties that the right is the ONLY way.......

I will turn them around if at someone's house where it's on the left way...

BAZI   How wonderful that you were away visiting a great friend et al.  AAA to the rescue and at least it happened in a safe place.  I hope the troll exhibit travels - would love to see it at our botanic gardens.  Welcome back  ;D   Who knew  " dead as a door nail"  :o

T40  I think Ft St Vrain lost a 26 day old to the hail storm
  5/10/23
With tremendous sadness it seems our sweet FSV48 took their last breath at 3:26am. Last night’s storm was severe with golf ball size hail. Ma did her very best to shield both but they are just too big to fit under her.
Eagles don’t feel like us humans and could possibly treat the remains as prey. Remember it’s all about survival. So if need be you may want to look away.

Good evening.  Baz, I visited the Atlanta gardens in October a few years back with HighSchool friends.  The gardens were done  up for Halloween!  Fun exhibit. But not as important as this one.
Tsk, lovely flowers and gardens
Plumbers in two states said not important to drain hot water heaters.
Have not had time to try the printer

Lani - No worries because you weren't able to be posting in the Beak.  Please take care of your obligations and get your rest when you can.  You always faithfully post here, and it is perfectly understandable when the time comes where you just cant.  We will see you here when it is good for you. :-*

Tig - Good report from your Water Heater tech!

Karen - Hope you new Printer works for you  :)

Kb - I checked with my hubby as to your water heater questions, and he said (what you already are thinking), that it depends on your water (whether how hard or soft the water is), and how well the Manufacturer coated the inner tank.  Usually folks who have soft water have more luck with their heaters.   He said the inner lining by the Manufacturer has a lot to do with the well being.  He said that when someone purchases a heater, that you are at the mercy of the manufacturer in that they coated the inner tank well.  We, the purchaser cannot see this.  He said that some of it depends on how lucky the purchaser is to get a well made heater.  My hubby is not an expert, but he takes care of everything for us, including water heaters and he has seen and experienced a lot over the years.    Hubby said he does drain a couple of gallons off the bottom every couple of months just to try and keep good maintenance.   He said that they don't make them as well as they used to.   Hope some of this info helps.

Tsk - 81 over in your area?!  I am jealous!  We had 65 today.  Oh no, sad about Ft. St. Vrain 26 day old. :'(    Beautiful Botanical Garden pics. :)

Baz - "Dont tell the Popo" ROFL  ;D!!  Anyway, glad you had a good & safe trip.  Great to see you back  ;D :)

Puff - Hail in CO is definitely rough. :(

Phyl - Awe, so sorry for you missing your Mom - I can't even imagine the pain - thank you for the throw back!

All Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

Eagles4 - tell Kris thanks for all the info.

Yes, my city softens our water....I was alluding to the fact that here at least, the water is/tastes different from suburb to suburb....etc...city to city depending on how they treat it.

My city/suburb in fact is rated often as the best tasting water in the state...I concur....I drink a lot of water right out of the tap....with ice of course, LOL..

I won't be draining this one (water heater)...I also purchased and paid for a 13 year warranty...

Good Evening Beakers

Water heater maintenance ----  as reported by the internet and Google.

Google
How often should you replace the anode rod in a water heater?
Most water heater manufacturers will recommend inspecting the condition of the sacrificial anode every one (1) to three (3) years and replacing it when it has been consumed more than 50%. This is especially true if you have hard water or use a water softener.

The sacrificial anode is an essential component of your water heater. It’s a long metal rod, made of magnesium or aluminum, which extends through the tank’s interior.
 
By Hydro Solution
The sacrificial anode: what is it and when should you replace it?
It attracts particles of iron, limestone or other minerals present in the water through an electrochemical process and corrodes in place of the tank. In other words, it “sacrifices” itself to extend the life of the water heater.

Most water heater manufacturers will recommend inspecting the condition of the sacrificial anode every one (1) to three (3) years and replacing it when it has been consumed more than 50%. This is especially true if you have hard water or use a water softener.

Careful though! In some cases, replacing your water heater’s anode rod yourself could void the appliance’s warranty. Check the terms of your warranty or consult your supplier before undertaking this operation.

Bob Villa -This One Repair Can Extend the Life of Your Water Heater   -   https://www.bobvila.com/articles/anode-rod-replacement/

Anode Rods are made of aluminum or Magnesium - the metal used is determined by the hardness (4 grains/gal. or above is considered hard) and ph value (7.0 is considered neutral - above 8.0 or below 6.5 will cause corrosion to water pipes and water heaters(anode rods first)) of your water supply.  A high hardness level will cause rapid deteriotion of the rod and leave calcium deposits in the water tank - aluminum is best for hard water conditions and Magnesium for soft water.
In my location, I get water from a deep well with a hardness level of 21, the last time it was tested.  I know that since then the water plant has added a softenor system, so not sure what the water hardness is at the house.  My first water heater lasted 9 years.  My current heater was made in 2003 and installed in 2004.  I have only drained the heater once and that was at about 2 years old - did not see any amount of sediment, so have not done it since.  But every time the water system is shut down for maintance, my tank syphons dry and this occurs about 4-6 times per year.  So it is getting drained on a regular basis.. ::)
My main concern at this time is that my anode rod is a solid rod (some are in sections) and my rod is 10 in. longer than my clearance to the ceiling, so the tank has to be removed to change the rod. :P

So - most plumbers will admit that frequent draining of the tank is not needed for most water types, but they will be more than willing to do it if you request it. ::)  BUT, the anode rod can not be checked for condition without a partial draining of the tank. Anode rod failure will result in tank failure.  A check of the anode rod every 5-7 years can be a matter of peace of mind that your tank is still good and will hopefully make it to 15-20 years.  I would equate it to changing your transmission fluid every 75K on your car.  Also, some water sources do not fall into that central safe zone that leads to long life for the water heater - most will not have any idea what the PH is for their water - that first check at 5-7 years will give them notice of problems, if the anode rod is showing premature aging.

I have to be at Kay's this morning for the dumpster drop off, between 7 and 9. They will call me when they are on their way, but I think if they don't call by 7:30 I will go ahead and go over there. There are plenty of things I can do...

I am so sad to hear about the Ft. St. Vrain eaglet... I remember the last year that Stanley was with Iris, it was 2015 and all three eggs were destroyed by a hailstorm. So sad...I have always tried to keep up with the Boulder County osprey nest, here is a video of the hailstorm, and a peek of the three eggs at the end. Yay Mom!

Lani, I hope all is going well at the convention and that you aren't running yourself ragged!

E4E, I think my son is going to be like your Kris when he gets a little older! He really enjoys learning how to fix things himself if at all possible! He learns from youtube, which is great for him. He was never a book learner, has to be hands on.

kb, I vote for the right on the tp.

karen, glad you got a puppy visit! That is always a good thing, puppies or kittens!

Phyl, love your good night picture! Thanks for Amy's Blog! And the pics of GSB and Decorah and Two Harbors!

tsk, beautiful pics from the Botanical Garden!  And wow, you are walking more and more, good for you! I would love walking through the gardens, they are so lovely!

baz, sounds like you had a wonderful time on your little vacation! It's great getting together with old friends, Ed and I need to do that with some of our friends in Springfield!

SWFL Eagles - Rebekah Dawn -05/11/23 - Look who made it into the Fort Myers weekly paper. This is so very exciting. Awesome job M-15 for being a super hero Dad in raising E21 and E22. Harriet has been missing since February 2nd and not January.

I went to my room at 8pm and ate the other half of my sandwich and cold fries from my Weds. Lunch. And I had one of those little bottles of prosecco, along with a package of cheese/crackers.  ;D ... convention opens this morning at 9, so early start... Mike is on the plane home, though he'll have to turn around early Monday for a week in Ohio.

Have a good Friday everyone!
 ;D

That's better!  ;D

clynn - Another busy day at Kay's for you, it sounds like.  Love the article in the paper about M15!  Awww, thanks for the Boo & Yaya pic.  Good to see them.

Phyl - LOL, love the Good Morning pic.  Great pics from the cams this morning. Cute god night pic, too!  Thanks for all the pets and pats for kitties and Bandit. 

oldguy - Thanks for all of your helpful info!

E4E - Are you all doing anything special for Mother's Day?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Pink!!!  Hope you are doing well!

LISA   Awwww how sweet catching a nose kiss

KAREN   I cheated and took an Aleve this AM ( only 2 weeks to go on the banned NSAIDS)  Takes the edge off my overdue discomfort.  ::) ::)
So far the 1.3" of rain has not materialized - maybe closer to 3 PM now.  So Tim and I went to the nursery and got the annuals for around my birdbath .  My SIL Barb will plant for me in the next day or two.

'MOMO'---cute. But I'll always miss the 'real' Momo. :-*

Hi Tsk We've had rain all day, too. Jim was gonna trim shrubs and mow , again.  Won't be able to do tomorrow and never on Sunday.
Hopefully, I'll get to Lowe's or Home D and pick out some flowering plants for the deck to attract some bees. Honey Bees that is.  The 'faeries' seem to
like the new feeder.

Yes! Pink, I miss you---we all miss you!  :-*

Lani  a little  R and R when you get back. And, thought you all would have a delishious menu.  ::)  LOL Hopin Aly find a nice place.

{{Tig}} another gal that  shouldn't over do the outdoor work.

Lisa luv the kitten photos,   Okay---why can't you take ibuprofen after your tubes re inserted?   What sort of interaction would that drug cause?

Puff I too understood that regulation sign differently

Lisa AM pastries and java look like the perfect 'get me up.'  Little ones are quick and scamper like crazy.  Luv kitten cuddle puddle.

Eagles Jim uses YouTube videos too! Most recent was on replacing the headlight on his Pontiac

Bazi did you take Zippo w/ you while in GA?

Clynn how was your time w/ munchkins?

Karen yeah, the printer is working out

Lori nice sweets for the birthday gal.
Take care.

Sorry about the rain Tsk---are you gonna use the hose to hydrate the greenery?

Mediterranean take out---had my nails done not long ago. So didn't cook as not to scuff up.

Yep - got rain, and I sit here waiting even now or it to stop so they can start the ballgame.
Anyway, it mostly rained all day; got nothing done outside.  Didn't even get rain gauge out.  Kept busy inside, always something you know.  Got the list for today - and now with a couple more things.  As I recall it's no more rain and a bit cooler for tomorrow?

Karen - So, it seems your coffee pot does work - correct?  If so, that is good! :)

Lori - Cute birthday post for Pink!

Tsk - Good that you took an Aleve.  No sense in being in more pain than necessary.  No rain today?

Hi Puff!

Phyl - Hope your weather cooperates and that Jim will be able to get back out in the yard! :)  Wow - youtube really helps everyone with all kinds of things!

Puff - I knew you would stay busy indoors if it rained all day! :)

Lani - I'm sure you had a busy day, so wishing you a nice evening filled with peace, and hopefully a little bottle of Prosecco and a snack/dinner! :)

Well... I went out to make repairs but it will have to wait until Fall or a really cool day. It turns out the heavy snow pushed my tall edging pieces over, but it also pushed dirt up against it. So I will need to dig the dirt out to free up the edging pieces so I can stand them up straight again. Other tasks have priority right now.

Good Morning Beakers! It's CATURDAY!

69 right now, high 81, rain off and on. High tomorrow 69. Erin & Sydney worked on the garage last night while we watched the Munchkins. The dumpster is full and they didn't even get the garage done. So I have ordered a pickup and another dumpster to be delivered Monday.

Phyl, love the wake up video, and I think that picture is exactly like the cat!! Great article on purring! Looks like a cloudy day on the Flyway. The eaglet little ones are looking good! We need to mow bad, Every time Ed sets out to do it, it rains! So he says it's supposed to me NO MOW MAY, Des Moines has declared it so. We will have to bale it if we wait until the end of May. Honey wakes me up every morning, and she is purring!

Lani, I bet you are exhausted! Soon you will be home and sliding back into normal... I am also tired, it has been a tiring week all around...

oldguy, thanks for all the goodies, 'Diesel Fried Chicken'. UGH! The Walter Santi is so sweet, love the kitties... The Duet for Two Cats was wonderful!

This cute bird feeder looks squirrel proof!

Phyl - ENT said, the reason you can't take Aleve or Ibuprofen, as it will cause the blood to clot during surgery.  What did you get for your Mediterranean take out?  Love that good night pic.  Great cams pics!

tsk - I want to cheat, but I am being really good and just sticking with Tylenol, which does not take the edge off at all.

E4E - Yea, EKG is part of the pre-op/medical clearance.  And, ugh....I made the appointment for Monday at 10:45am, and totally forgot I already have a rheumatology appt at 10am.  I don't think I will make it to the EKG.  Have to call and see if I can make it later in the day, if they still have a spot available.

tig - Sorry about your edging.

BL - Hope your having a good time, wherever you are!

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.  Wow, Bellamy on the drums!

Lani - Hope you got some rest. 

clynn - Love your Caturday pics.  Great pics of Bella and Talon.  How nice of Erin & Sydney to help clean out the garage at Kay's. Kay must have had alot of stuff.  Cute, cute bird feeders!  Great pics from Decorah!

IT'S CATURDAY  Hi EVERYONE

56 heading to 70  mostly cloudy

PHYL   At the end of the day I usually hose the hanging pots.

PUFF  So jealous of all your rain.

TIG  Too bad you have that extra project to do with the edging pieces.

BL  Need a translation  :o

OLDGUY  Will catch your links later - Running out of time this AM

LANI  Hope you enjoyed your liquid refreshment tonight  ;) ;)

PHYL   Cat drawing  LOL   Wake me up  LOLOL

CLYNN   WOW  Two dumpsters required.  Erin and Sidney - good people  :-* :-*   I'm exhausted for you knowing what it is like to clear out a house.  Does it make you want to purge at home??   That is one wet eagle.  :o

Gotta run - will finish later.

This dog is Taurus, laying next to Gordon Lightfoot's casket.
He belonged to one of Gordon's crew members, travelled with the band, and sat right offstage while Gordon performed. He and Gordon forged a deep bond and when he and the crew member showed up to the funeral Taurus sidled up to the coffin and laid down. Gordon loved dogs and obviously they loved him back. So beautiful.

Morning all..

Phew  Great to have Barb help me plant the birdbath garden.  Now just need Tim to dig two holes for me for 2 perennials.  I'm on his to do list!  LOL

EAGLES  Worked outside 1 hour 10 min - Rest time now.  ;D

KB   Tears - beautiful dog Taurus.  :'(  Love the Maine Coon - Lulu sure didn't get the size and coat DNA markers  LOL

T40  Love the obstacle course., talking cats  :)  Excellent piece on weird cats.  " purring may restore damaged tissue" - new one.  Dean and his lions - awesome!   Hope I remember to turn off my headlights next time a moose is ahead of me at night  LOL   Agility dogs are something else!!  Good ones today - Thanks

OLDGUY   Hard to believe some of those signs.  Seriously?  Bellamy - mastering all instruments  :)  Can't wait for Pt 2 cat sitting Simon's cat.  Backpack harness  ::) ::)   Cute Santi piece.   Duet for cats  LOL

But, real quick now, will just say...

Happy Caturday, Beakers!  :D


Phyl, I went by myself.  ;)

Lisa, there can never be too many pictures!  :D

((Clynn)), lucky are the people who have you as a great friend.  :-*  I loved the pics of Bella from last Wednesday, and of both Munchkins from yesterday.  :)



My Littlest Greatniece had fun in her Dance Recital!  :D :-*
And, thank goodness, someone found some food for her Baby Bro! Would hate to see him starve. That boy can eat!!  ;) ;D :-* :-*

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023

Clynn  good caturday's this  AM;  you know y'all   ill have added jewels in your crowns,  don't you?  :-*  Sure hope Ed can
 get the mowing done;  Munchkins look great.  Ms Honey is happy and loves you.  I just luv those bird feeders.  You find the 'coolest' things. Tks for
Decorah updates feel for rain drenched eagle

Lani guessing  you'll be home later today...be safe.

Tig almost went South fo the Border yesterday ourselves; argggg edging work, protect your back/knees  ;)

Ahhh Lisa now I remember 'why' no ibuprofen.  My usual---beef gyro salad w/pita and cucumber sauce; balsamic vingaret dressing

Tsk do  y ou use one of those 'wand' that extend the hose or just turn the nozzel to 'stream' and arc the hose 'up'?

Eagles if you were here this AM you'd heard all manner of lawn and garden equip full blast at 7am. Rain in forcast got the hood motivated.
With the hood motivated so there went Jim. I was in full AM mode with his breakfast, coffee and donuts. He held off on the eggs and all  and got to task as it
was sprinkling. So after 1.5 hrs he broke on the deck and I served his breakfast there. I ate inside at the table.  We had chips (Fr, Fries) with corned beef hash
and fried eggs over easy. Sliced tommy-toes.  ;D
Tis all completed. Eddie (Edmond) mowed the back below the hill when he mowed his. And, after 20yrs took me up on some coffe and donuts after joining Jim on our deck.  Made me soooo happy.  ;D

KB so touching photo of Taurus and Godon.  Hope a cherished friend or family member gets custody.  To my guess your Maine coon likely has some
Angora in the mix. Pretty kitty.

Eagles   Yep! Jim got finished.  Eddie is a big strapping fella.     Strong and quiet use to the sun and heat esp South Africa. For ages I’d see him mow our yards on scorching days and offer him at least ice water. He’d say ‘No thanks. I’m fine.’ and keep working. Jim’d tell me not to worry about him that he was more than use to our summers ...but worse. So when he took me up on my Sunday offer of donuts  and coffee. I was over the moon.


Lani   tks for checking in And , hope you found all’s well at home.

Good Morning Beakers!  Happy Mother's Day all you Moms out there!

66 right now, high 67 and rainy. 62 for tomorrow and more rain. The grass is a jungle!  ;D ;D

We went for Birthday/Mother's Day dinner at Cracker Barrel, then the kids cleaned my floors while I watched the Munchkins. Then Erin, Sydney, Ed & Kelsey went over to my friend Vesselina's house to mow. If you remember, she is my friend from Bulgaria whose Mom just passed away from cancer. Vessy has been over there since March 9th, her husband joined her to help her with the estate. She was an only child, her Mom and Dad have been divorced for years, so she has to settle the estate. She texted me and asked if Erin could mow their jungle. All four of them came back worn out. The grass was a foot tall and very thick and wet at the bottom. Erin said the riding mower kept choking up. They had to rake and then the edger quit. No fun! Bella and I played Barbies.  ;D

Lani, glad you are back home for Mother's day! Always good to be home, hope you are getting a good, well-deserved rest.  Sweet Mama kitty...

Phyl, we are getting all the April rains in May this year. Poor HM and DH2, thank goodness the baby is big enough to thermoregulate, he just needs his head under Mom. Perfect Mother's Day picture! Sweet pic of DH2 yesterday morning too! Wow, can't see anything at GSB, all very well tucked in! Couldn't make out the raccoon kits, I bet Lani can though!

Me and my Mom, May 1952 in Alamogordo, New Mexico!

Lisa, loved the video Jeff made, those little ones will be everywhere soon! So much fun just to watch them play! And they will go to the litter box, just show them where it is! I saw a youtube of a cat who had seven babies, all to bed for the night and when they checked on her in the morning there were nine!

karen - Yes....these sweet babies are moving around more now, and trying to get out the pool.  When we start talking in the room they all perk up and come to the edge. Good to hear you are losing some pounds.  Hang in there with HH workers!

clynn - There better not be 2 more kittens 3 weeks later!  ;D  Next week, we are going to start transitioning to wet food, so litter box will be needed.  We have a small one that they will be able to get in.  I just sure hope they like this pellet litter that they are supposed to use, cause Misty did not. 

Phyl - Aww, look at baby you! Glad you like the kitty video.   :)

Lani - Glad to hear that you are back home, and I hope you get some rest.  How is Aly feeling, and Shannon, too?

E4E - I am going to do that before I head there in the morning.  :)  Cute good night pic.

tsk - Jeff named all the kitties, and I liked all the names he picked out. 
Brutus: 15.42 oz.
Piper: 14.29 oz.
Lizzie: 14.04 oz.
Raven: 13.72 oz.
Midnight: 13.51 oz.
Angus: 13.09 oz.
Daisy: 12.28 oz.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, kb!!  Hope your special day is EXTRA special.

Wild Heart Ranch

For all the mothers everywhere
Today is just for you
To celebrate your sacrifice
And all you've been put through
Some mothers make it look easy
parenting with quiet grace
Some get a bit more frazzled
Constant anguish on their face
And then there are mothers who roam the woods
Where danger is always near
Searching for food to care for their brood
Trying to see through their baby's rear
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, other mothers, bonus moms, "may as well be" moms and those who raise yours and everyone else's kids, human and "other". The world is a better place because you people know what "unconditional love" is. 🙂  Annette

Lisa, love Jeff's names for the kittens, Brutus is almost a pound! They look so healthy and sweet, I just want to cuddle them. I think if you start them on that pellet litter it will be fine.  This has been a wonderful adventure for you and Jeff! And AC would be happy to let you do it again I am sure!

Ed was going to mow our lawn this morning, but it's still very wet and supposed to start actually raining again in about an hour. And tomorrow until late afternoon. No rain Tuesday or Wednesday, so he will have to get it done then! Where there is no grass it is very muddy (where the construction people are working in the back yard...).

karen, Mom's HH worker (her name is Kay) is a talker, so Mom tries not to start too much conversion with her until she is done! She vacuums, dusts, does laundry, changes sheets, cleans the bathroom, fills the bird feeders. Stuff like that. She has had some doozies in the past though! Like the Amish (or Mennonite) girl who made the bed backwards.

Boulder County - all three eggs survived the hailstorm!

Thank you all for your birthday wishes for me this morning....

My sis drove down yesterday and spent some time here without her Max..(black shitzu) as Max has developed a strong dislike for driving...just like Ollie man.
It also was a better weather day than today is...
Brought us all some fun gifts too: a beautiful orange hanging begonia...I removed the hanger and put in back for just my own pleasure....when summer heat comes I'll move it out front under my maple tree.
A purple t shirt I thought was so funny....don't think I'll wear it in public but will while gardening, LOL.
A fluffy pocketed zipped hoodie for when it gets cold again...also one for Chris as it was his birthday last month.
and finally, a new we call Mr. Shady ball....it's almost indestructible...I still have the last one she brought Ollie but finally had to super glue a little hole..

ssrl - hopefully this rain will stop as I'd love to see you and it is really dreary today...and yes, I know you are still younger than myself..

I've been busy planting some annuals, hangers, and a boxwood to eventually finish the row of 7 under my arbors..I have a previous one that has done well, dug up 6 others after they failed to grow so am testing this one before I plant more..Purchased 12 bags of mulch to start, mowed and weed whipped both front and back and etc. etc..
It's just starting to look like spring...appears to have lost: My smokebush, my rhody, 25 feet of Virginia Creeper, roses and some of my arbors..but but, the grass looks healthy and green...

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on May 14, 2023, 10:34:34 AM

Forgot Mr. Shady pic..

Will add this:
I had one day last week I believe to just sit still on my deck and listen to music before the clouds rolled in.
I realized how much loss I've had in my life in just a short 9 years:
My Walter dog at 16 1/2 years old in April, 2014
My twin brother to suicide ( I call it out as part of our middle age "deaths of despair" phenomena), July, 2014
My mother in 2017
and my dear husband, Scott, in 2020 as you know.
Not a lot of time in life to grieve but it struck me as why I don't spend a long time with music in my ears, although I'm sure it's good to do just not to dwell on as life goes on..

Hoping to get outside a whole lot more, we Minnesotans deserve it this year....and it makes me happy.
Thanks again and have a great Mother's Day.....moms :)

Jeff took a video of the kitties today.  They were very active this afternoon.  Hope you all can view it.

Lisa, OMG, those cute kitties!!!  :-* :-*  Loved seeing the video Jeff made and narrated! Thanks! It worked, and I'm not even on FB, so thanks for making it "public" for people like me who wouldn't be able to see it on FB otherwise.  :) :-*  You're not going to be able to keep them in the "pool" much longer... LOL. And I loved the little tiger stripe on his back who found his tail and swatted at it during that video.  ;D ;D  They are ready to find new adventures, and test and build new skills - with each other, toys, and just "stuff." LOL. Watch under your feet, and...
 Let the good times roll!!   ;) ;D

Thanks for all the family news.  And rehab updates.
Lots of lovely Mother's Day  greetings and nice tributes.

Tig sweet note about your's and Camper's moms. May they RIP.
Jim and I are missing our moms, too.  Jim, Faye.  Phyl, Marie. RIP dear ladies.

Lisa such cute names for the kittens. Piper is a fave girls name of mine as is Paige.
 I see  a Silver Tabby in the mix.   :)   Don't even worry about keeping them in 'the pool.  Just let them go and have fun with them. It'll be a hoot.

{{{KB}}}  So much loss, you're due a time out.  Lovely birthday greetings for you and on Mother's Day. You're truly loved here.

{{{Eagles}}} hope you and your mom and a lovely celebration today.  BBQ and homemade layer cake. Is that a Butter Pecan cake?  ;)   Extra hugs and kisses today.

Lani thanks for the Royal Albatross and Mother's Day greeting.

Dinner out tonight---where is a 'surprize' I'm told.

Maggie had Jim pick out a  really cute and sweet Mother's Day card for me.
Was waiting on the dinning room table when I got downstairs this AM.

After a spot of lunch  at Union Station downtown will enjoy  Cenntienial Park since there's a short break in last night's/this AM's rain.

CLYNN  Cool story about the Mariners church.   Mama possum  ;D ;D.  Construction people...has your porch project started?   How do you make a bed backwards  :o ::)   Good going Boulder county  :)

KAREN   You will run into so many personalities with your aides...Went through it for 10 years with my parents....

LISA   One thing about the litter is that they won't know anything else?? unless Misty had it from the beginning or you changed?   Love the names - very creative. :)

SSRL  Enjoy a b-day treat with KB  ;D

LORI   Remember to serve me an apple fritter on my B-day  ;) ;)   Thanks for all your cute Moms

EAGLES  Great Mother's day dinner planned .

KB   Nice visit with Sis.    Sleek looking hoodie   You sure took a big hit on your plantings this year.  :'(    LOVE the senior texting code  LOLOL  IMHO   Nothing wrong with reflecting on the past.  You count your blessings and live another day.

LANI   Looks like SP had a lot of kisses for Mom  ;) ;)

TSK, you sound like you're doing great, too! And doing a lot! LOL, I see you mentioning following your own orders, instead of some of your doc's.  ;) :D ;D  OK, "missy."  ;D  I'm watching the tennis tournament going on now in Italy with all the top players (diff 3rd round matches showing on cable TV, on the Tennis Channel, and on Bally Sports channel) ...  It's a clay court "warm-up" to the Roland-Garros French Open tennis tournament, which starts 2 weeks from today.

E4E, have a good day with your Mom!

Lani, glad you're home! Hope you can relax some with Mike today before he heads to OH.

Phyl, how nice you get a surprise dinner location tonight. I'm sure it will be divine! Oh, part of my "lost/deleted" post from yesterday included telling you that my resident pair of Eastern Bluebirds brought their new fledgling to forage in my yard a few days ago. It was the "dad" with the fledgling, and was so fun to watch - the first time I had seen one of their fledglings this year... but I haven't seen them since then... timing, I guess.

Tig, rest. I mean it.  ;) :)

Lori, you post the most wonderful mix of food, fun, and wishes! I hope you are feeling better, and you and Destini have a good weekend!

Oldguy, I bet you have been busy, busy in the garden center-related sales! Were there cards last night?

Lisa, I missed which day you're getting your ear tubes put in... glad it's a really short procedure - tho' I know you have to go through the "general" for it.  ::)  Shoot... so much "pre" stuff to go through!! but I know it will go great, and you can have something yummy to eat after, since you have to do the fasting thing before.

Hi SSRL!  :)

Puff, so many bird feeders, so little time...  ;)  ...maybe you can get a helper!  :)

BL, glad Kopje had a blast.  Did y'all do that in the Pickle??




Waving to All the Beakers!  Have a good afternoon!!  :D

Thanks Baz!  Great pictures and brother and sister do look alike in this picture.  His hair isnt as dark as in the eating ones! This little girl is solucky to have these parents!, amazing development.  How is she doing?

Love the saying on the card, count your friends, etc! 

My mother has been dead since about 1958!  I still remember her like it was yesterday. Although .i still miss her I most often think of how wonderful she was and of how much we packed into a few years!

Lisa, good luck on the tube procedure.   Tsk, youare an inspiration on your recovery plan.  Clynn, you are an inspiration on all you do for others!

baz, the kids are so cute! Lil' Punkin is growing up so fast, just like Bella and Baby Bro is getting cuter too! Love the dance recital pic! Bella is in gymnastics, she calls it 'nastics, and she made 6 goals and 3 assists in her soccer game yesterday!

tsk, yes, the deck project is about halfway done, here are a couple of pictures below. Mom's HH girl first put the flat sheet on sideways and had it open at the bottom and tucked in at the top and sides. I would have thought she would put the pillows at the bottom of the bed but no.

Lani, hope you are having a nice Mother's Day with Aly & Mike, and Shannon?!  Thanks for the SP and Mom kiss, kiss video!

Puff, yes, every HH Mom has had was glad to fill the bird feeders! I am still amazed at how much joy everyone gets out of the little one stuck to the front window! Here are a couple of pictures of the feeder, one with a red-bellied woodpecker hanging from it! The other thing in the window is a stained glass window cling of birds on a branch.

Phyl, be sure and tell us where your surprise dinner was when you get home! I totally agree with you, those kittens will be all over the place very soon, and that is when the fun really begins! I just love the way Jeff is so into being a kitten Dad!

Lori, love all the cute Mama and baby animal pictures!

karen, so how was your HH for today?

There goes Iris' egg, she wasn't brooding much. Just being a free woman with a part-time man...   :o

BAZI   That is so great that Punkin is taking swimming lessons.  The pics of her with Lil Bro and Grandma are precious.  She is such a cutie and adorable in her ballet costume.  Thanks for posting them.   Actually today which has been cool and a bit blustery - supposed to rain - NOT Tim dug my holes for my 3 perennials and I planted/watered  so that is now done.  Cleaned out the storage bin on the patio and that was it for today. Enjoy the tennis - Didn't even have time for golf today.

CLYNN   So Bella will be a star athlete in soccer  Good for her.  Bet it's a riot to watch.  Does Erin coach?   Can't wait for your porch to be done.  :)
Such a shame about Iris and her nest.. :'(

Will not be back for the rest of the day so will see you all in the AM  Take care.

SSRL has left after a great time talking in person over a glass of wine and a frozen ice cream cone treat!
She brought me a pulmonaria plant, or lungwort....a perennial I have chosen to sit near the Brunerra plant I planted last year.....both early spring purplish flowered bloomers...will look great!

Food delivery soon so saying night to all and hope you all had a fabulous day.....from the posts so far, it looks like it! :D

Post by: Puff on May 14, 2023, 03:28:12 PM

Clynn  question. . .How do you get to the feeder to do refills.  Looks like it's stuck about 6 feet from the ground.

I had to retire and buy a new one for the kitchen bay.  Ton had made one from slats of natural wood and clear plexiglas - little teenie holes for nyjer seed, 10 stations.  It must have lasted about 30 years.  Hung off the southside eave of house on a pulley system.  Wide open to the worst of the weather (rain, snow, wind).  So now I have two new ones hanging in the window, other new one about 2 years old, holding about about a gallon of seeds each, one with oily sunflower and the new one for nyjer.   Another wire tube feeder for oily suns from a ground telescoping pole.  I have to be standing at the counter/sink to see who is eating there.  The two big ones I can view sitting leisurely on my bumm at the dinette sipping tea.

Encouraging is seeing the finches waiting and then flying right over once I got new one up and full.  Been up about 10 days now and had to refill yesterday.  Looks as busy as the southern USA border.  AND......There about 8 other feeders in the yard.  AND.....neighbors are amused when I drag around my loaded up Red Flyer wagon from station to station.  Full-time pleasure--love the birds don't we?

Oooops, forgot 3 water features, and one humming bird, and one oriole setup.  AND, truth be told, I've oft times got neighbors, family, and college kids $$$ for some of the harder things.  IE two level water fountain next to the patio, under the a locust tree that likes to shed/clog up.  Too heavy for one person, at least for this one people. 

Enough already?

Post by: baziunc on May 14, 2023, 03:44:05 PM

Karen, yep, you're so right about my LGN's parents.  :)  :-*   She seems to be doing fairly well, thanks for asking. Bone growth (height) is a challenge - very complicated nutrition absorption problems, you know. She is still in the Boston research trial to try to help with that. I haven't had any recent updates on her "numbers" related to that, but it must be helping, or at least not hurting, because she is still participating in that trial. Most importantly, she is a happy kid - energetic, and intelligent, and loves her Baby Bro.  :D  Each new day is a special and wonderful day, with hope for more and better advancements.

Clynn, wowie zowie on Bella! 6 GOOOOALLLSSS and 3 assists!!! Sign that girl up with the pros!!! "Nastics" - LOL! Love it...  :-* My oldest greatniece (who is the twin girl with the fraternal twin brother) loves gymnastics, too! She has enjoyed it so much, that she has stuck with it for several years now! I think she has played some soccer, but I haven't heard much about that with her, so I don't know how much into that she is these days. Your porch project is really coming along - looks great! Nice lookout to your mom's bird feeder! Oh, pooh, poor Iris and her egg. I hope she isn't around enough near you-know-who to re-clutch. Maybe she will be out and about enough for a different male to "flirt" with her.  :-*

KB, it sounds like a very fun b'day visit from SSRL!  :)

TSK, glad your perennials got planted. You cleaned out the storage bin?!?!?   ???  Good grief, Charlie Brown!  :o  My LGN love, love, loves being in the water! Bad thing is, her CVC absolutely cannot get wet - it's through her upper right chest wall. It has to be covered with a "kind-of-waterproof" giant covering bandage type thing, and then she has to wear a really big heavy deal, full body coverage, dry suit type get-up, we call the frog suit, for her to be able to get immersed in a pool. It's hell to get on, and she hates it going on, but she loves getting in the pool, so she asks for it, and then she can do whatever she wants in the water. It's a pricey thing, made for a child, and a family had it and sent it after their son outgrew it. Your weather today sounds a lot like the weather we had the day we went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden... very cool, with thick overcast sky, looking like the forecasted rain would come down any second. So we were dressed for the cold, wet weather,  but it turned out only to sprinkle lightly from time to time, so we never really got wet, and all the trees made for natual umbrellas anyway. Made for another frizzball hair day for me though. LOL!   Maybe that "Trolls" exhibit will travel to your gardens this coming Fall or next Spring. They will be in Atlanta till Sept. 17th.

Lisa, did you celebrate?

Baz, lgn is an amazing child with lots of. Curiosity and interest in trying things!  Seems to want to push her body!  She will be social and smart as she has been around so many doctors, etc  which will/may compensate for remaining physical issues.
Clynn, where is Bella playing soccer?   Yes, the pros will soon Be after her!  You can be her agent!
Hh worker today did as told but did not take the unitive on things. She was concentrating on her husband who had to go for a mri on his knee .   Md to,d him it is broken but he schedule led this to determine if surgery is required.  She had my dinner on a plate and was gone @10 to 5.  I should be glad she was here at all.

Clynn nice sentiment from  Annette at Wild Heart Ranch.Great possum . Your deck is looking good. Interesting about mariner's church; congrats to Bella and her soccer/gymnastics.  ;)   Iris and her nest  :'(

KBglad  you, your sis ; then later with ssrl all had a nice time with each other today; T-shirt is ROTFL

Bazi cute card for KB; enjoyed the photos of LGN and Lilbro. LGN is growing into a pretty  girl. Hope I read your post correctly---good report on LGN. Such precautions she needs to take while swimming. Amazing how she and family keep their spirits up--- ;
Let's hear it for bluebirds!

Lori if you're taking birthday breakfast  orders--- :)

HI ssrl

Tsk Monday after my doc appt, we'll go  perennial   shopping   thinking of Spanish lavendar, salvia for bed off the deck; red/yellow striped petunias to go w/ the red peony and maybe some African dasies for deck. Still leaves the long white planter and for that I'll know it when I see it.


Puff your bird visitors are same species as ours---got indigo buntings? We saw our first 3 wks ago. The hummers and bees will love the Spanish lavendar in addition to salvia we have.

Karen  hope you had a good day and  which ever HH worker  you have  in the end is going to be a good 'fit'.  Just got back from dinner not too long a go. Thank you.

OGdecadent chocolate cake for KB

BL why?


We went to my most fave  area restaurant---Sperry's in Cool Springs (sub of Brentwood). There's one in Nashville. But, I just don't like the atmosphere compaired to Cool Spriings. Clynn, the bar in 'my' Sperry's has a Beefeater pig on the counter and a fireplace with tables just a nice pub-like decor. Desserts are from scratch  ::)

Well...think I'm caught up here. Lots going on in everyone's lives. hope I didn't miss anyone/thing.

Phyl, looks like the eaglets are both doing well!  The dandelion fuzz on DH2's head is almost gone! I am about ready to go plant shopping for my porch baskets and my copper tub. I have decided to plant my shady flower bed in front with hostas. I have been collecting different ones for the last few years. I have a gal who is going to plant for me, she is like the energizer bunny! Her husband is the guy doing my deck etc. This week I think! Love the cows at North, and they have babies too! Thanks for Amy's Blog!

Lani, hope you had a good Mother's day and fell asleep as soon as your head hit the pillow... You have had a very busy week...

kb, Bella plays soccer in Ankeny, where they live. The little ones start playing at age 4, at their home field, then at 6 they will start playing other teams in the area.

Lisa, the deck has a roof and a composite floor now and he is putting screens and doors on it. Then we can actually use it even when it's raining and we can let the cats out on the deck!

Puff, we have an old plastic milk crate sitting right under the window to step up on to add seed to the bird feeder. The container part just slides out, very easy to fill. It's one of the old real milk crates, very sturdy. One could use a cement block or two, even make a step up. The spot we have it is where we determined that the squirrels couldn't get to it! And believe me, they tried!

tsk, Erin is the assistant coach for Talon's soccer club, I don't think he is for Bella's. Erin has been a huge fan of the Premier League for years, you should hear him yell when Manchester United scores! They are going to a game between Manchester United and Arsenal in New York this summer. He was once third place in the world of online FIFA Soccer players on XBox.

Clynn    Ah ha the dang squirrels. . . Last season we had quite a few posts re getting rid of the problem of squirrels.  Tried a few of them.  Guess what - they didn't work.  Squirrels still try  (and they still get down to the feeder) but couldn't eat.  The nyjer feeder had the teenie hole; the other feeder had oily sunflowers so there was no way they could open for the meat. 

Good news - surveying acreage (?) this spring I located the furry remains of squirrel.  I think our neighborhood fox caught up with pain-in-the-ash.  I hope.

By the way, like your ingenuity.  We do what we can.  Ton actually has about 6 metal milk crates in the garage.  But not going to work here.  I have a raised ranch.  Main level about 10 feet above ground.  There will be a decision to be made when the pulleys decide to pull out from the overhang.  I'll need 15 foot ladder.

PUFF   We actually have a feeder squirrels have not conquered.  I'm forgetting the name but it appears on FB often so will jot it down next time.

LORI  Thanks for the Peace Officers remembrance day.  Don't know where you find all that delicious food.

Well, trimmed the dead lilacs off the bush and did a little weeding.  Our neighbor has a HUGE pine tree - that 15 yrs ago was planted way too close to our fence so every year I take my clippers and trim what hangs over my fence and into my garden  So did that this AM too.

Is that lovely bridge one of the Bridges of Madison County?
Girls have a lot more athletic opportunities now than they did when I was growing up!   Good news

Phyl - Sounds like you had a lively evening at your favorite restaurant!  Thanks for RRP blog post and cam pics.

clynn - Thanks for info on deck.  That sounds really nice, and kitties will enjoy that!

Hi Beakers!
Hi Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Sorry I fell asleep at my desk again.  :-[ Mike woke me up at 10:30 and helped me to bed. I was so tired, also had stomach issues too.
I'm feeling better today. Mike left at 5am for a flight to Ohio, with a couple of his workers from Gila Bend. He'll be back Thursday.
I hope everyone's been well and had a good weekend.

Lisa, I love reading the babies gremlins are moving about!  ;D .. I hope all is well with your blood work and all... I love the little cuddle puddle of furry love bugs. I understand about the aleve.... Thank goodness I walk every morning... my feet are tired too.... awww adorable video of the kittens, Jeff did a great job.. "Brutus"  ;D and then there that sweet little black one... They are all cute!  :-* .... Love the gremlins names and their weight is doing well. Good luck with the litter .... Aly tested negative on Friday and she returned to work today. Only two weeks left with us and she leaves to Oregon.... Shannon is fine and is coming here Friday. They will take me out for Mother's Day dinner.

Eagles, Love your Friday gif ... a little prosecco helps  ;D ;)... I was able to have a free hour for the delicious pot roast served for Friday's convention dinner. Melt in your mouth delicious.

Tsk, I wish no work on Mother's Day!  ;D  I spent yesterday, washing his work clothes and packing again. The shot he received for his allergies, helped his back pain too.{{{Tsk}}} one aleve shouldn't be harmful... I enjoyed one glass of liquid beverage every night.  8)

Karen, Do you like using instacart? Aly used instacart while I was gone. I'm going to have her set my iphone with the app....  SWFL Eagles ~ E22 Joins Dad At The Pond & Chases Him With Its Dracula Walk! 😊 5.13.23.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtcMa02CeAE.    Love the story of Room 8  :-* ... I like my space and quiet, an HH talker wouldn't be a good fit for me. But, then if she's good at doing what needs to be done, hmmm  ???  ... {{{good for you, losing weight is hard }}}  :-*

Oldguy, thanks for Simon, looking forward to next part and Walter Santi update with new kittens at neighbors.... enjoyed the cat opera!  :-*

Clynn, love your Caturday posts.... Munchkins look great! Erin and Sydney are the best to help you with Kay's garage....WOW 2 dumpsters....  NO MOW MAY!  ;D ... I bet you're exhausted, I hope you were able to take some time for yourself on Mother's Day! Do you see an end to Kay's stuff yet? ... love the bird feeders! awwww poor Decorah H mombrella! ... sweet pic of you and your mom. {{{Clynn, Erin and Sydney}}} taking care of Vessy too! You and your family are great friends and neighbors. You're kind and generous souls.  :-* ... Love the Wild Heart Ranch Mother's Day post.

Kb, awww Taurus, laying next to Gordon Lightfoot's casket.  :'( ... I hope you had a Happy birthday, you had many beautiful cards and greetings...

Baz, awww Lil curly hair Bro is a two fisted eater! Lil beautiful Punkin is ever so graceful at her dance recital.

Lori, great Caturday pics.

Phyl, thanks for nests update pics.... sweet pic of you and mom.

Good Morning

50 heading to 65 later today - mostly sunny

KB   Had pulmonaria in my previous home which was mostly shade.  Nice gift.  :)   LOLOL on your AM photo .  Mini Mom and Mom

BAZI   Thank you for the explanation of that very complicated procedure to allow Punkin to be able to swim.  I actually wondered about that.  Such dedication and through the kindness of others she can enjoy this activity.  She is one strong little girl.  Cute pic of you, sis and the troll friend  ;) ;)

LISA  So I take it you are not signing up as a permanent foster family  ;) ;) ;) LOL

KAREN   Sounds like you are showing a lot of patience with your helpers.  How many times are you up during the night with all that water.?  :o :o

BL  Impressive

PHYL   I have tried lavender several times and can't get it to grow.  :(   Just looked up Sperry menu - what did you get?   Interesting in Amy's blog who does most of the feedings.  Cute pic of DH2

TSK, I need to look up pulmonaria plants - sounds like a dreaded respiratory illness. LOLOL!! I'm not sure if I mis-read your meaning, but the pic of me in front of the Troll at the garden is with my good friend since childhood (not my sister).  ;)

BL, so, are you in Kenya now?

Puff, HAHAHA on your funny - that squirrels don't eat oily sunflower seeds.  ;D ;D ;D

Lani, I hope you are doing NOTHING today!  :)  Glad Aly tested negative and can get back to doing her usual.

Phyl, glad you enjoyed dinner at your fav place last night.

Lisa, gosh, I hope you're okay... Maybe it's not related, but that sounds like a lot of tests just to get ear tubes put in. Take care... LOL on Bandit whiffing out the kittens and then rolling his eyes!!  ;D ;D

KB, sounds like a nice day shaping up there.

Hi T40!  :)

Lori, I think I can smell those fresh-hot-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies... I want a handful of 'em!!  :D

Karen, it sounds like you have several different HH workers... do you get the same ones on certain days? Do you have a bench or chair outside where you can enjoy sitting for a bit on good-weather days? This seems like a good time of year for that here - before it gets too awfully hot and humid, and before the mosquitoes get too pesky.

Clynn, are you at Kay's today? That's great that Erin gets to help coach Talon's soccer team... so fun. Wow on Erin's FIFA Xbox Soccer ranking!!!  ((Iris))  :-*

Hi Oldguy!  :)

E4E, I hope y'all had good outdoor cooking and eating weather yesterday,  :)

BL, so, are you in Kenya now?

Lol, no baz we're still in GA near the Chattooga River.
Taking a paddle rest day as my shoulders are noodles.
That pic was an homage to our Bluey Kopje who it turns out is a whitewater maniac.  :o   ;D

The river sections we have been running the past few days are not canoe friendly, we're using a rental raft.
The next section of the Cattooga (IV) is highly technical class IV & V whitewater.
Pip and Kopje will be sitting this section out but will be waiting for me at the take out on Lk Tugalo.

LISA    LOL  Bandit is probably glad he is neutered.  Single guy - no responsibilities  ;D ;D

LANI  So nice that the girls took you out for Mother's day.  " E22  Dracula walk"  ;D    Now you have a few days to catch up before Mike returns.

BAZI   I goofed - mis remembered what you said.    Also forgot  - my patio storage is merely an oversized cooler shape  maybe 4' long 2' deep and 3 ' high.  Stores the gardening hand tools, charcoal for the grill, plant supports - plant ties etc.   That's how I remember the plant as it does sound like a lung disease  ;)

BL   You are on quite an adventure.

Ha!....I planted my pulmonaria today....it's common name is lungworts!..LOL, yep a lung disease according to the Beakers.

I planted it next to my brunnera and ligularia.....

All sound like diseases to me!...I prefer their common names but getting used to their species names.

LOL passing lane for crime.

KB luv the Scottish Fold cat and kitten

Tsk gerainiums and apples this AM;  you been very busy;  too cute 'So I take it you are not signing up as a permanent foster family'  ;D   ; I got all the plants I talked about earlier.  Wish I could have found my euphoria.  :(    This is Spanish lavendar so we'll see;   
Indeed, Sperry's has an amazing menu.  Jim: French Onion soup,filet of beef and lobster tail, burgandy mushroom sauce, garlic whipped  potatoes and from scratch sticky toffee pudding. Me:Caesar salad, filet of beef w/lobster tail;burgandy mushroom sauce, sauted spinach. I had red wine and Jim had an ale didn't pay much attention to that. Yesterday, I got lots of Mother's Day good wishes from total strangers .

Lori tks for infor on Peace Officer's Memorial Day . Nice chocolate chip day goodies

Hi Karen hope the HH workers will work out for you. 

Lisa that's almost as much 'testing' as I went thru for cervical spine  fusion/surgery.   Whew!   So nice all the Guys got together yesterday. And they got some kitten time in too.  No doubt Mr. Bandit will look forward to having his bachalor pad back  in due course.  ;)

"tsk - Yea, he comes and goes in the room by them....looks at them, smells them, looks like he is rolling his eyes at them, and leaves the room.  ;D " Oh this is too funny.

Hi Beakers -
I didn't check back into the Beak last evening, so doing a little catching up.

Kb - Looking at your significant losses within the last 9 years;  {{Kb}}  You definitely have had your share of heart ache & grief.  How nice that your sis came over and celebrated your birthday. :) ;D  So nice that Ssrl came by!

Hi Puff  :)

Tig - Hugs for you & Camper in missing your Moms - Mother's Day can sure be rough on folks.

Lani - Hope you & Mike and your family enjoyed a nice weekend.   Like Iris' pic today!  Just read that Mike left early this morning @ 5:00.  You poor girl, falling asleep again at your desk - you need to try and get more rest!

LisaG - I too enjoyed Jeff's vid of the kittens!!  So cute and as some folks mentioned; it was nice to hear Jeff's voice! :)  So fun that you, Jeff, Bradley & Kelly all got together yesterday for lunch! :)

Phyl - Hugs for you & Jim in missing your Mom's - Hugs for you both.   The cake I made yesterday was just a yellow butter cake.  Glad you & Jim had a nice dinner out at your fave restaurant!

Baz - Sweet / cute pics of the little ones!  We did have nice weather for our Mother's day bbq yesterday (low 60's).

Karen - Awe, so sad that your Mom passed when you were so young, but at least you have memories. :-*

Clynn - Deck project looks really nice!!  That is going to be so fun to be out on your deck even when it is raining! ;D

Kb - Glad you had a great visit with Ssrl! ;D

OG - Did you have a card night Saturday?

Lori - Thank you for mentioning National Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Tsk - Hope you didn't overdo working out in your yard!  Today, I planted some flowers into pots in my back yard.  I finished in the front yard a few days ago.


Beakers have a good evening.

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS

51 heading to 79 and sunny  :)

KB   Do you let your wild violets grow?

PHYL   That was a very memorable evening out for Mother's day  :D    I think for our parents generation cooking from scratch was a given.  Too expensive to eat out often ( was a real treat in our house), little to no prepared foods ( I do remember fish sticks  LOL),  little to no fast food places.  I'm glad for that as I learned to cook from my Mom who didn't know how to boil an egg when she married my dad but turned out to be a fantastic cook.      LOL  AM sheep  cute

LANI   Sure hope you got a good nights sleep last night .

CLYNN    No dumpster - bummer.  Better luck today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXIE

How are you doing Maxie?  Must follow up and say now that bird seed is out of mud room - no more of those pesky seed moths!!!  How is Larry doing - did he get  his pacemaker and his leg surgery?  Drop in if you have some time.

Should have posted on Mother's Day! ;)

Think that reddish sky in the Flyway pic is from Canadian wildfires...
We are under an air quality alert in Northern MN and heading our way....will be a hazy sky today.

No it's my Brunerra plant....picture taken from above is misleading on their size...plants are much bigger than they appear:

https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/brunnera-macrophylla-jack-frost/

Mine is a Jack Frost brunnera with early spring blue/purple flowers. A perennial.

I'll take a different picture view of my shade garden transformation later today....large hosta, 2 astilbe, 3 ligularia, brunnera, pulmonaria and lots of iris and a peony trying..and on the sunnier edge roses and phlox
All on the north side of my garden and under deep shade of my larger maple..

Overcast this morning - warming to 74!

Phyl - I can only imagine the delicious food Jim's Mom and your Mom used to make.  :)    Nothing better than how our Mothers / Grandmothers cooked by scratch!  My Grandma used to make her own noodles for Chicken Noodle soup!
Cute gif this morning.  Nice temp in your area.  Love all the cam pics  ;D

Clynn - Your morning post/gifs/pics always get my day off to a beautiful start! ;D  Hope the Dumpster gets dropped off early as planned!

Tsk - Nice temp for your area.  I too, can say that when I was growing up, mostly everything was made at home with little/no prepared foods.  No fast food was brought in.   My Mom taught me to make cakes by scratch (I was 9 when I made my first one).  Of course, now I buy the boxed cake mixes. ;)

Kb - Great vid of elephant giving birth and the herd coming over immediately  ;D  Sorry to hear about the Canadian wild fires.  :(

LisaG - So sorry you are feeling so much pain/discomfort.  Must be so hard not to be able to take your usual medication.

Hi Lani, Karen, Puff, Tig, OG, Baz, Lori  :)

Maxie, Enjoy your special day!

Beakers have a nice day.

Trugreen was here this morning and they will not be invited back!   The man had no idea hat he was supposed to do!   He  said I had a lot of trees and was going to spray all of them!   I don't think  he knows anything except how to get the hose out of the truck and point and spray!   Time fornother cup of coffee.

KAREN  TruGreen - just supports what many of us have said... :P   I think Maxie mostly perches but posted some advice late last year about the "seed moths" I had in my mud room.  We don't store seed there now .  Then earlier last year she made mention of her husband's illnesses.

Am off with a couple of us in our girl group to support another in the group as her husband has been going through a rough medical time with multiple hospitalization in recent months. - has had 8 stents I believe is not a candidate for by-pass.  Finally last Thurs went to rehab facility and Jean was ecstatic .  Now back in the hospital as of Friday night.  What an ordeal

tsk - here's a closer better view of it now...it is extremely hazy in the sky right now too.

And then a few better views of some new/newer replacement plants from sun to shade.

Remember, these have all just come up out of the ground....my astilbe just did...will all look much better in a month or so.

My big blue hosta just emerged recently as well..no roses on my shrub roses yet either...and phlox hardly up....

My guess is we are at least 2 weeks behind average if not more?

tig - keep at it....I once had snow on the mountain as fill for my whole front garden and removed all of it...I mulch heavily.....do you?

Lani - not hard to do...if I remember correctly ;)..it's been a long time.

We found we had to drill new holes in them every spring....but we leave them out in the snow/hard freeze all winter.

That's not hard to do though either...kind of fun actually....and our water supervisor told me I can run them during hours of the day when it's illegal to do so...like 11am-4pm....cause obviously there is no evaporation, nor waste.

BL, so, are you in Kenya now?

Lol, no baz we're still in GA near the Chattooga River.
Taking a paddle rest day as my shoulders are noodles.
That pic was an homage to our Bluey Kopje who it turns out is a whitewater maniac.  :o   ;D

The river sections we have been running the past few days are not canoe friendly, we're using a rental raft.
The next section of the Cattooga (IV) is highly technical class IV & V whitewater.
Pip and Kopje will be sitting this section out but will be waiting for me at the take out on Lk Tugalo.

BL, oh... gotcha! LOL. Oh, I know you will have a blast! No wonder your shoulders are noodles. LOL! I think Kopje will be staying on land during your upcoming Section IV run. And, yes, Save the Pickle!  ;D  Yep, don't do Class IV or V rapids through those rocks in the Pickle, for sure!  ;D 8)  The rivers in that part of the country that I've had the pleasure of whitewater rafting on were the Nantahala (easy but fun - combined with a couple days of AT backpacking - yikes, it started sleeting and snowing, and had freezing rain on me while I was going down the river solo - brrr!), the French Broad, the Ocoee (Upper and Lower - a total blast!!), 2 sections of the Chattooga (oh yeah, Baby!), and 1 section of the Chattahoochee. It helped that I lived in NC - easy, short drives to most of those from where I was at the time.  You and Pip must be having a total blast!  :)

Baz, have cushioned sofa and chairs on the screened porch amd a glider and a table and chairs on the patio!   Bench in the garage.
Lani, instacart is fine.  When they make a mistake they credit your account
Supposed tp get a little rain.  It is darker than usual,  shall see?

Karen, you are all set up in style for sitting outside during the nice weather - and a screened porch, too! I hope you are feeling well enough to be taking good advantage of all that. Sitting out with a view and an ear on nature is a major mood elevation method for me.  I am sooo jealous of you having a glider!! I love them!! I call dibs!!  ;) :D

Thanks KB.  Kind of wish I had a shade garden - Miss the one I had at previous home.

LORI  Right on - great eagle shot.

LANI   Sweet AM pic  :)  Thank you.  Turns out that Jean's husband almost died but they got him back and he is doing well for 2 days now.  One doc had suggested home with palliative/hospice care but Dennis said - " I want to live.  I'll do whatever they want" - So he may go on dialysis for a bit.   Thanks for the TRR update.  Curtis "pops" with color    Did my quick multiplication and SP now 20#  Pretty heavy to lift now  LOL

TSK, I'm so sorry Jean's husband is so ill. I know she really appreciates your group being there for her.

Karen, great pic of the eagle on ice!  Thanks, Lori! :)

KB, the shade garden is coming along nicely!

Phyl, your dinner... YUMMMMM!!!  :D  Oh, that gator was a dinosaur. But who's looking that closely anyway. LOL.  ;) ;D

E4E, glad you had nice weather for the Mother's Day bbq.

Lani, what a sweet little mouse in the Tulip blossom!  :) :-*  I loved using my soaker hoses. They were perfect in the garden area that got brutal all-afternoon sun! I just snaked it around and through the plantings and let it slowly drip while I was at work. I put them away in the winter, and never had to do any maintenance on mine.

Clynn, hope the dumpster gets there today! And hope you don't have to stay very long.

Tig, wrens are my fav of favs little birdies... I can watch them non-stop. I have not seen my cute Wrenny Wren much lately. Chickadees are sooo fun, too! I love the way they chatter with each other... would be fun for you to have some tiny little Chickadee baby birds!

Hi OG! I hope you're getting along well.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Hello Beakers! Just finished my nap!  The 2nd bigger dumpster came this morning, and I was able to throw a bunch more in the 1st one before they hauled it off, because they have a cover for it! This one is a 12', he said the 1st one was a 9'. It's hard to judge how big of a one you need, how can one imagine a ton of trash...  :o :o

Ed is mowing, he has been trying to for a few days but it kept raining here and there. Then it wouldn't start, the battery was dead, so had to get a jump starter, the grass is so high and thick he is having to empty the grass catcher every couple of rounds. We have a corner lot, so the yard is big! I will get the push mower out and clean up a few places.

Lisa, sorry you are feeling not so chipper, but don't those kittens just make you smile?  Just let them run all over the house when they are using the litter box, it won't take them long to figure it out! You are getting a cat tent like tsk had for Lucy, maybe Bandit and Misty will like it! I think they are wanting out to explore and play! Love the daisies!

Lani, the Albatross chick looks huge in that picture! I checked to see how many lbs 9.4 kg were, it's 20.75 lbs! No wonder the chick looks huge, it is huge!

I just went outside to take pictures of my new plants, I spent my birthday money today at Home Depot! And I see that Ed is mowing the next door neighbor's yard. He has polio in one of his legs. He tries to mow but it is very difficult for him.

My prizes are the two Red Double Knock Out Roses! Red and white Impatiens and blue Lobelia for my Patriotic container, and I got a couple of those Rio plants someone has been talking about! Does anyone know what the purple flowers are in the bed where I am going to put all my Hostas?  And I have Speedwell and Dusty Millers for the sidewalk flower bed.  Now just need the Coleus for the deck!

Audubon Center for Birds of Prey
Did you know the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey cares for more Bald Eagles than any other rehabilitation center in Florida? Most injured Bald Eagles in the state find their way to us. During baby season, so many eaglets come through our Center we sometimes release them two at a time! These two young Bald Eagles are flying strong in our flight barns and are ready to start their lives out in the wild. Our team will weigh, band, and then release them in a good territory so they can fly free.

KAREN   He has had atrial fibrillation for eons that has wrecked havoc on his heart muscle.  They just did 8 stents in 2 different sessions to keep whatever muscle is left vascularized.  He also has considerable kidney issues.

LISA   Good idea - then you can use it for outdoors when kittens are returned to AC  Bandit might get a kick out of it.  Misty might not since she is an experienced outdoor cat.

TIG   What an amazing photo in Mom's tulips.   Good catch with the  little frog.  We asked at the Botanic garden what they did when tulips were all done - compost them!!!  Start over with new bulbs the next year.  Mom's are 60 yrs - Amazing.

CLYNN  Like minds on the reuse of the enclosure.  We don't know if we will introduce Lulu to it this year -   What a huge mowing job for Ed.  And here we are both figuring out kilograms  LOL   Can't really get a good look at the purple flower - "creeping phlox?  Can't wait til your friend plants it all and what it will all become  ;)   Nice clip from Lisa - Thanks

Clynn - I just installed an app on my phone today for plant identification - called PlantNet - available for iPhone and Android - totally free and allows you to sign in with Google - it works by taking a photo of a plant and them gives you the possibilities by percentage of probability.  Seems to work well - I will use it at work to help me ID plants for customers.

Thanks loads OG  Hugs X2

I luv the Google Play Store.
I have some daisies that I'm trying to ID.
Ihad them last year in a planter just infront of the deck doors


There was a vinter not far from where we lived in Cali.   His wife had these all across the front the their 1.5 story ranch style at base of the front porch (6 steps up).
I fell in love with them as a little girl. And,m when the lady thinned them she called my mom---we drove down and picked them up.
I had them last year and some how lost the ID pick that came with them.
Haven't seen them so far this season. Hate to miss having them.

I think they're called 'Coreopsis'.

Eagles, beautiful good night pic. I'm catching up with chores that I'm behind on....  :)

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

chilly 45 heading to 63 - mostly sunny

OLDGUY  Thanks for the plant ID..  Let us know how it works for you.  Could not ID a common dieffenbachia I have Hmmm  Nor my Xmas cactus. I'll try it outside in my garden on something I know.

PHYL  doing a Google search it is a Goblin Gaillardia or Blanket Flower  OOPS  OLDGUY got it.  Funny to see the goose still nosing around  Cute shot at GSB

LANI   Good to hear you have a peaceful catch up time.

Phyl, oh those sweet GSB babies! They will be making such noise when they are bigger! Mama Grackle's view, nice and green! Two Harbors, side by side. A big stretch at Decorah.  All looking good! The sun is a red dot on the Flyway! I also looked up those beautiful flowers you pictured and it came up as Gaillardia (also called Blanket Flower), Arizona Sun variety below:

tsk, we are fellow Googlers!

Lani, I think my sister Becky has the tree identification app you spoke of, they are always hiking. Becky is the one who turned me on to Merlin and she also has a plant ID app, I'll have to ask her what she has. Hope you are getting rest and getting caught up as well! Hope all your furkids are doing well!

E4E, love that Good Night picture!

karen, I can't remember the first fast food we had as kids! There just wasn't much around back then. We got Pepsi in the glass bottles, but only on the weekends! The only eating out I remember is maybe at Stuckey's when we were traveling to Illinois from Arizona. Mostly we ate from the cooler!

Decorah Eagles - Karen L. Wall - A little plump around the center I must say. 😀

Hi Tsk  your temps aren't  that bad.  ;)  Common dieffenbachia   is highly toxic and can be lethal  to cats (and humans) .    https://excitedcats.com/is-dieffenbachia-toxic-to-cats/ (https://excitedcats.com/is-dieffenbachia-toxic-to-cats/)  "Dieffenbachia is a common house plant favored by many because it is tolerant of shade, so can grow well in a houseplant collection. Plus, it comes in a good variety of appearances. While it is a popular houseplant, it is toxic to cats and can cause discomfort and pain if chewed. Symptoms include excessive salivation and, if your cat has chewed on the plant and shows symptoms, you should consult a vet, who will typically administer pain medication to reduce discomfort until the toxicity passes."
About 40 yrs a go, I destroyed one I had for Samantha's sake.
 I wouldn't even keep it outdoors. Just imagine the horrorfing torment and death  it'd cause to wild life and strays.    Just saying is all.   

Hi Clynn Bella Wednesdays is here  ;) I know y ou'll have loads of fun today.     You have lots of happy daisies and peonies this AM  Yep,  Gaillardia  has many names. Thanks. I doubt I'll be able to get them anywhere ,not available online, for the present anyway. Will have to visit Lowe's and Home Depot and local nurseries regularly I guess. They were easy to find last season. 

{{{Lisa}}} I know next Monday seems light years away right now.

Last night in Minnesota.

Yes, the smoke bothered my eyes last evening even with the house shut up and air on.....

Still looking hazy this morning...

Reminds me of a Doc visit for Scott I went to with him and he teasingly complained to the Doc I couldn't handle light on in the bedroom when trying to sleep....The Doc responded yes well she's accurate...look at the color of her eyes!...Doc told him!...Mine are blue, his are brown.

I may be more sensitive to the smoke than some?

Phyl - Looks like those lovely flowers have been ID'd by OG as Gaillardia pulchella; Indian Blanketflower - very pretty!  Love all the cam pics  :)

Lani - Nice that you will be able to catch up on your chores on your own time and not be on a 'time frame'  :)

Kb - Terrible about the smoke affecting your eyes - wildfires are the worst. :o

Clynn - Have a fun day with your little Princess! ;D

Tig - Enjoy the drive today - always fun for a little getaway!

Lani - Thanks so much for Bearstudy - fantastic pictures!

I started my post much earlier, but then got sidetracked as I am preparing to have one of my old girlfriends over today!  She is actually a wonderful friend of both of ours, as Kris & I used to work at the same place with her.  I've known her since 1985!  We get together about every 2 or 3 months.  This girlfriend came and stayed here with Star several years ago when we went on a little trip. :)  She is one of my best friends. :)

Beakers have a good day  :)

Phyl - that is the app - I downloaded from the Play Store

Thanks loads OG  Hugs X2

I luv the Google Play Store.
I have some daisies that I'm trying to ID.
Ihad them last year in a planter just infront of the deck doors


There was a vinter not far from where we lived in Cali.   His wife had these all across the front the their 1.5 story ranch style at base of the front porch (6 steps up).
I fell in love with them as a little girl. And,m when the lady thinned them she called my mom---we drove down and picked them up.
I had them last year and some how lost the ID pick that came with them.
Haven't seen them so far this season. Hate to miss having them.

I think they're called 'Coreopsis'.

Phyl, so pretty for your garden! - they're not coreopsis, though - I grew several types of coreopsis where I used to live. I believe what you have is a type of Gaillardia (a relative of the sunflower!) - and they are drought resistant, so that's great, too. Here's a link and picture I found that appears similar to what you have...


Here's a link with some info about it from Missouri.edu extension site:
https://extension.missouri.edu/news/gaillardia-drought-tolerant-color-in-the-garden-2520


and a picture from that same site - looks like yours!  :)

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D

Well, I tend to reply to some posts as I get to them, when I'm catching up on reading others' posts since my last post. Since I don't usually get into the Beak Room till after lunch, most everyone else has already read and responded to what I'm just getting to, from the night before, and morning of, dontchaknow...  ;)   So, many of my posts turn out to be kind of irrelevant by the time I post them...  Oh well...  ;) ;D  I know I could read everything, and then post, but it's not my way, usually... sometimes... but not usually...  ;D ;D ;D 8)

Have a great day, Beakers!  :D :-*

CLYNN  Love that field of flowers. :)  We were campers as children with a pop up camper.  We also ate from the cooler and Mom cooked on the camp stove  LOL  We needed to buy ice at the gas station almost daily.  Some vacation for Mom and Dad altho we did have our chores. ;) ;)

PHYL  I know it is toxic to cats.  Lulu doesn't go near it.  She doesn't go near any flowers unlike Lucy.   It will be pitched soon as it was part of a flower arrangement someone sent when I was in the hospital.  I just don't want plants any more.   Only plants I have now are my Xmas cactus and a Norfolk Island pine .  You might have better luck at a nursery for the Blanket flower.

KB  Maybe Chris can come to the vet visit?

TIG  You're just making the best of a rest day - Advised!  ;)

LANI   Thanks for Lynn's report.  Jewel is huge  LOL  Beautiful coloring in the grackle.

Jewel is a real beauty!  Lisa, you are lucky you do not have these 3 cubs instead of the kitties, running around the house!   4 more days and relief?
Eagles, nice day for you.
Just spoke to the cardiologist office and I have to continue with 64 ounces of water a day, weighing every am and low sodium!  Feet up!  Ugh.

Home again, Home again, jiggedy jig!

I did get Chris to ride with us which always helps with the non-stop howling coming from Ollie who is secure in his kennel but as you know, just hates driving.

Totally serene however on the way home! ;)

Vet said he looks fabulous....he's 8 ya know...teeth have no tartar, coat looks good, ears/eyes/heart/lungs etc......he's a young 8 year old...Just to watch for any joint issues down the road..as he's long bodied and low to the ground....yeah!...good for another year other than toe nail clippings....same place, different person of course....Annual heartworm prevention injection followed.

Doc said he's so happy to see Ollie man as he's such a kisser.....apparently, they have a lot of nipping dogs these days.....He attributes it to the Pandemic?....who knows, I personally now think it's starting to get overly  used as a reason for all kinds of things, but what do I know...Just happy Ollie was a rare and delightful patient for Doc and tech.

We have a serious epidemic of Canine Flu in our state....he doesn't recommend Ollie get near any other dog...we don't anyway, but okay...we are safe.

Phyl - I saw that plant at my go to nursery this morning...gorgeous if you find it.

Lani - Thank you  :)  I hope I feel better Monday, too.  We also have wondered how Misty will act when it is time to turn the kittens over to AC.  One thing I have noticed about her, is when a kitten gets out the pool and away from the others, she doesn't go get them and bring them back.  I would have thought her instincts would have told her to pick that kitten up. 

E4E - Hope you had a great day with your friend.   :)

T40 - LOL!

baz - Waving to ya!

karen -  ;D ;D

tsk - Reading your comment to Phyl about plants being time consuming...I agree.  I don't do the whole front flower bed anymore.  Home Depot usually has big pots filled with Vinca's for $26 a piece.  Last year, I bought 3, and it looked just as nice in my front bed with the pots sitting in it.

Phyl - Yes, another exhausting thought...kittens on solid foods and clean up duty!

kb - Sounds like a good vet visit for Ollie.

Lani - Wow, that is some catch for Iris!

Hi Beakers!
Bella is gone and I have rested with my adult beverage...  Bella, Kelsey and I went to lunch with Olivia today, Ed, Erin and I have all worked with her at WF (I actually hired her in 1998). We had lunch at the Des Moines Country Club, Bella called it a 'fancy' place! She is from Taiwan, she worked for Liz Claiborne and met her Iowan husband on a flight from San Francisco. She is my age, her husband is a few years older and has just been diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's. Erin is her computer consultant!

(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/e2/aa/c4/e2aac44a2eb8d9319e9db4f13dc72837.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/1a/34/d5/1a34d5dee3f15b18b61c2fcf8bd6cbe6.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/c6/d3/13/c6d31329bd663ab2fbb0a551c873e7c4.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/9f/57/70/9f5770298145a8c149f2621599640342.jpg)

Lani, love the picture of Iris and her fish! She sure catches big ones! Dang, I wish she would fancy one of the male suiters... but maybe she is enjoying the single life.  ;D It's good to know that Jewel has been spotted! I hope they eventually see them all!

Lisa, I have had  at least a couple or three cats that had kittens in my lifetime, I almost think they are relieved when they don't have to let them feed all the time, because if they are not separated they will try to nurse as long as they can! I never thought they pined for them...

Phyl, I can't believe you found the flower tag! And it was the variety that I posted, the Arizona Sun blanket flower! I am going to look at Lowes and see if they have any!

tsk, we had a tent that attached to the back of the station wagon, it took 3 days to drive from Phoenix to Bone Gal IL.
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/5b/6e/6b5b6e714d94021eab61c7a4d8838b8c.jpg)

kb, Harley and Honey cry all the way to and from the vet and they don't give any kisses while there!  I had a cat years ago that howled like he was being tortured while riding in the car... does Ollie cry on the way home too?

karen, I bet that water is doing good! Plus, you are getting more exercise too!

LISA   I would think that she will have made the break with them after nursing stops.  Lulu was a new Mama - her nipples were even still large and red when we got her.  Actually we were talking about indoor plants BUT  I also am cutting down on what I do outdoors as well.  I have one less porch pot that I would have had to plant and I have 1 less hanging pot.  I'm not making my hanging pots when I can buy one at Jewel for $14.00! Like your idea of just the colorful pots vs the hands and knees planting. :)

CLYNN  How nice to have lunch at the "fancy place" with Olivia  :D- She sounds like a really interesting person and so sad about her hubby.  I've never seen a set up like that with the tent off the back of the station wagon.  Makes sense!

Tsk I hear ya on simplfying one's life. Working on some goals and then we'll see.  Isn't that 'thing' your searching for always in the last place
ya look? LOL

Lani tks fro Iris photo. 

Lisa much to the chagrin of the OHH HOA I put outdoor artificial  bushes out last spring/fall.  They whinned and I said  ;D 
I have artifical boxwood all accross the front porch bed.  And outdoor silk potted flowers on the porch. Will change them out according
to holiday/season.   From 2 ft can't tell the difference.  If the azealas don't make it , I may go 'fake' there and that will cost.

Tsk most of my inside plants are 'silk'. Mike loved eating living plants  too much and I was tired of the kitty barf. Again can't tell the difference and once potted  trouble -free. Been doing this for eons.
I usually keep philodendron in pots, dinningroom and each bathroom to keep the house oxygenated.

Bella looks nice today. And, did I sport a 'wink' in that last photo? :)

Oh yeah! I keep all the plant tags from outdoors after I pull them. Hate seeing them on the plant and so I have shoe bag on the back of laundery room door as per Martha Stewart.  ;)

Lisa, mamma dogs tend to encourage puppies to “leave the nest”
When they get sharp teeth and begin to bite while  nursing!  I would assume that might be the case with cats.
They then spend a short time scolding and bossing them around and then ignore them! A lot different than most humans!  Oh my, clynn just posted a response to the cat question!
Oh my,  Bella in her fancy dress at the fancy place! lol

Perhaps the coreopsis/gaillardia were once different plants, but now considered one in the same.

I was at my EVIL garden shop today, started a discussion with a customer and then pulled one of the family owners into the talk.  He said he grew up with them identified it as one the Virginia wildflower group.  I originally thought they were part of the daisy family; learned the coreopsis group later.

One more trip to the EVIL Wannamaker shop to go.  Still need some of the tomato.  Then I will be lighting a fire under the Ash of my helper with the rototiller.  tsk  Have you ever heard of Wannnamakers or been there?  In Downers Grove/Ogden Avenue, across from the restaurant we went to.  Family owned since 1970's.

Thank you---so much! 
In my gut. I knew that was correct.
 When I first search for the flower, I typed in 'Coreopsis' and came up witht he photo I first posted yesterday.
I recall the vintner's wife calling the Arizona Sun Blanket ,  Coreopsis.

Just goes to show that something can go by many different names and still be the same. Even with minor variations in DNA.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

Clynn, nice to get out for lunch with Olivia and family. Sorry for her husband's illness. Love the pics of Bella - glad she had fun at the fancy lunchspot.  ;) :D

Lani, I loved hearing about Jewel being accounted for, and Lily being spotted and healthy, with her 3 healthy yearlings.  :-* Gorgeous pictures of them! And of Iris, with her "Catch of the Day." Another whopper!!  :D :-*

Karen, nice to get your yard watered, compliments of the skies.  ;) My area needs some rain - it's been mostly going around us lately and things are getting pretty dry again. It's supposed to rain here later Thursday, and on Friday - a nor'easter here Thursday, so lots of wind, with an offshore gale, followed by a coastal low developing for Friday that could become a hybrid tropical system.  ::) The weather roller coaster rides again. LOL.

((Lisa)), bring on Monday!!

TSK, smart move on simplifying. I went the simplification route a few years ago and I've never looked back!

E4E, nice to catch up with such a good friend!

OG, it sounds like you're getting a little of a lot of different weather.  ;)

BL, did you have a fun and exciting Chattooga run?

Phyl, LOL on finding things in the last place you look. The Flyway screenshot tonight is so pretty and serene. I hope you find the plant you're looking for.


Gaillardia and Coreopsis are in the same plant "Family," known as Asteraceae (sunflowers), but each is in its own Genus, with quite a few Direct Children Species. Some of the Gaillardia species have similar coloring as, and resemble, some of the Coreopsis species.

Here's their taxonomic hierarchy...
Gaillardia:

Coreopsis:

Perhaps the coreopsis/gaillardia were once different plants, but now considered one in the same.

I was at my EVIL garden shop today, started a discussion with a customer and then pulled one of the family owners into the talk.  He said he grew up with them identified it as one the Virginia wildflower group.  I originally thought they were part of the daisy family; learned the coreopsis group later.

One more trip to the EVIL Wannamaker shop to go.  Still need some of the tomato.  Then I will be lighting a fire under the Ash of my helper with the rototiller.  tsk  Have you ever heard of Wannnamakers or been there?  In Downers Grove/Ogden Avenue, across from the restaurant we went to.  Family owned since 1970's.

P

Thank you---so much! 
In my gut. I knew that was correct.
 When I first search for the flower, I typed in 'Coreopsis' and came up witht he photo I first posted yesterday.
I recall the vintner's wife calling the Arizona Sun Blanket ,  Coreopsis.

Just goes to show that something can go by many different names and still be the same. Even with minor variations in DNA.


Peaches and nectarines, folks.  Peaches and nectarines.  ;)

How does the saying go?  A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Paraphrased:  A coreposis/gaillardia by any other name would be just as lovely.

clynn - Cute pics of Bella last night.  Remember those cars in the 90's that was sort of like what you posted, and you could camp in it.  I think it was called an Aztec.  So sorry to hear about Olivia's husband. 

tsk - Oh, gotcha on the indoor plants...not an indoor plant person.  I can't even get flowers anymore from Jeff since we got Bandit, as he likes to eat them!  Yes, the potted plants are alot better for the knees  :D

Phyl - That's a good idea...fake plants out in the garden!

karen - I did read something in my literature from AC about, mama cat will start to back off on nursing when they get their lil teeth. 

oldguy - Thanks for the video.  I will definitely miss the kitties when they are gone.  I say almost daily I am keeping them all, and then I saw to myself...ARE YOU NUTS!  ;D

BL - Are you glamping in a Yurt?

Lani - Awww, sweet Millie!

Puff - Morning  :)

Will check back later....still have a headache that won't go away.  When I went to pre-op appt the doc said, that my left tube was hanging out.  Now, I am wondering if it has come all the way out and is the reason for headache and all this sinus pressure again.

Lani, well, I bet you learned a lot when you looked up Bone Gap! Grandma & Grandpa lived in rural Bone Gap all of my childhood, a big frame house with asphalt shingles. An outhouse (inside plumbing came in 1960. They had a barn and a cow named Bessie. And always a couple of pigs, as well as a lot of chickens. They sold most of the eggs to the grocery store. Also a huge garden! They didn't have to buy much at the store. They had pork and chick on their little farm and I think they got beef from the locker. Mom is the oldest (89 in Nov.) of their 4 kids, she was born in 1934. All born during the depression. Sorry, I rambled on... ::) Oh, Sweet Millie! I am going to the Nursery tomorrow, I still need my coleus for the deck! And I think I still have some $$ on a gift card!

baz, plants are like meds, too many names! My garden helper is going to start in the next couple of days! Can't wait!

Phyl, oh my, I remember the gum wrapper chains, that's what we called them! Junior High, 1964-65. They were supposed to be as tall as your boyfriend! I made several, prized were the wrappers from the Fruit Stripe gum! Oh those sweet GSB babies! Thanks for the Blog, DH2 looking so pretty!

Lisa, so sorry you are in such discomfort, I would bet that your ear tube coming out has a lot to do with it. Which is good, they can fix that. Just wish they could understand the pain and get to it sooner!  I know the feeling, you want all the kitties! I want all of them too!

oldguy, lots of good links, still going through them!

Rain does seem to be unfair so far this season, tsk.  Was hoping I'd get a visit from sprinkling system guy this week.   However. . . .

Wanna has too many things I wanna.  Also they have a lot of my $$$  LOL
Laughed a bit too loud checking out yesterday.  Person in front turned to see "what" was funny.  Sad, but still funny.  Ton would come to help pack up the hotrod / lift heavy things.  Sometimes he'd wait in car cuz I took so long (always).  So, what was funny???   Just thought if he was up there watching I'd have him floating on down when he saw my collection of "stuff".  OK THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY!!  I could hear him yell.   ;D   Might be a way to see my guy one more time.  (Not that I'd stop)

Croc-a-doodle doo! ‘Tis the season for eggs, even if this one isn’t eggsactly what you were expecting to see. 🥚An adult Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) might be a powerful predator, but it starts its life as a tiny hatchling—emerging from an egg that weighs only 4 oz (0.1 kg). Mother crocs lay clutches of nearly 60 eggs in underground nests, guarding them for up to 14 weeks. Fun fact: Nest temperature has a direct effect on the sex of baby crocs. Females hatch from cooler eggs, below 88° F (31° C), while males hatch from warmer eggs!

Kb, stunning fox, look at those eyes, it says "I know I'm gorgeous"  ;D ... talons crossed for another home rental that popped up yesterday, Aly immediately answered the post... talons crossed. If she doesn't find anything before she leaves next weekend, she'll rent an Airbnb.

Tsk, we had a late afternoon/early evening hail and thunderstorm go through our area. The forest smells delicious this morning.  ;D

Clynn, love the whimsical planter chair! I loved reading your memory of Bone Gap, your grandparents and their life there. Those are special memories filled with love. Takes me back to memories of being with my maternal grandparents too.  :-* .... agree with your comment to Baz, names I wouldn't and couldn't remember if I tried.... I made many gum wrapper and ribbon leis.... Beautiful purple ribbon leis were given out to this past year's executive board at state convention last week. Love your morning pics.... precious pic of DHDad and eaglet, no words are needed for what SMB captured. ... love your morning pics.

{{{Lisa}}}, I would imagine your headache and other issues are related to your ear tube. I'm sorry, you have to wait so long for relief.  :(

Phyl, I made lots of gum wrapper leis... DH2 and GSB family,   :-* .... Thanks for Amy's blog.

Overcast;  53 this morning - warming to 69 for our area (always much warmer inland)

Tsk - Read what you mentioned to Clynn, and may I add that my parents were camping folks too, but Dad always pitched a tent!  My Mom cooked on a camp stove too.  As kids, we always loved the camping trips. ;D  I think that's why I love the outdoors and raised my kids with camping & boating. 8)

Karen - Just as you are turning off your water sprinklers, we are turning ours on for the season.  Sadly, I think our rain is gone for a while - none in the forecast.

Phyl - Yes, I had a fun afternoon with my girlfriend here! :)

Kb - Happy that all went well for your Ollie Man at his vet check up!  He sure is healthy!  Glad that Chris accompanied you - I'm sure that helps keep Ollie a little more calm.  :)

Lani - Great pic of Iris and her 'catch of the day'!  Is Aly having any luck in finding a place that she might rent?

LisaG - I sure hope your appt on Monday will bring you fast relief and that you will feel better soon.     I hadn't thought of how Misty might react to her kittens being gone when the time is right for them to be turned over to the AC.  I actually feel sorry for you & Jeff, as you guys can't help but be getting attached to them. ;)  You & Jeff have been exceptional.  :-*

Clynn - What a wonderful lunch you had with your friend, Kelsey & Bella yesterday!  So cute how Bella referred to it as a 'fancy place'  ;D  That is a lot of history with Olivia - sad tho, about her husbands diagnosis.  Love the pics - Bella looked so cute in her little dress!
Thanks for pic of DH2 snoozing - cute!

Phyl - I decided I am not planting anything directly into the ground anymore (trying to simplify & keep it easier).  I planted into Planter pots for the season.  Beautiful pic out at MS River Flyway  :)
I remember my older cousin working on a chain made with gum wrappers - she said she would make it the length of her boyfriend's height. :D
Thank you for all the cam pics.  Thanks for Amy's blog.

Puff - I bet your yard looks nice!  You are always busy with something.  :)   Just read what you said about Lol in line at the store - love the story of how Ton would have reacted to the length of time and all that you would buy!! ;D ;D

OG - Thanks for all the links - I will need to go back to them. ;)   Your weather sounds pretty good.

Baz - Thanks for your research & link to Gaillardia - I have appreciated reading about this Plant here in the Beak. :)

Lani - Like the cute pic of Millie the Puffin.

Kb - Gorgeous fox - I had never heard or seen a pic of one before - Thank you!

Tig - Enjoy your day - whatever you might have on the agenda! :)

Lori - How are you feeling these days? Hope Destini is doing well!

Beakers have a nice day.

Lani - oh that's great news esp. if it works out and glad she has a back up plan....I do hear it's a tough place to find rentals/homes....like lots of places..

Well, I missed my opportunity to walk and drop garden soil/grass seed...started sprinkling earlier than I thought and now light rain...oh well..another day.

Ollie too seems tired today...if I recall, once a year after his annual heartworm injection this happens....I'll let him hang out on my bed most of the day and tomorrow we will venture out...

Tig - nice murals and incredible artist.....We drove to St. Peter frequently to visit our cousins/Mom's sis..
All of the kids went to Gustavus Adolphus as did my Mom and her sister...
A visit to Mankato wasn't unusual on those trips...and on trips further down the state..

think I'll catch a nap now on this dreary day and after so much frantic outdoor work this past week or so.

clynn - I never did make the gum wrapper chains, but I did like that Fruit Stripe gum.  The flavor didn't last long, tho.  ;D  What a cute chair planter. 

tsk - Your weather sounds like ours today.  It was chilly this morning, but has turned out nice.

Pretty novel garden chair.  Juciy Fruit was popular cud in my 7th grade and up days. I'd keep those wrappers saved up  for the upper class gals that made the chain.

Talons crossed for .aly and the rental!
Wondering about potted plants in the summer heat!   Mine need a lot of watering, more than those properly planted  in the ground!  Interesting experiment! 
Tsk, ditto on Bazs comments.
No camping trips for us but annual trip to the northern Wisconsin woods to a cabin on a lake and fishing.
Great grandfather had a wonderful garden, cherry tree, raspberry bushes and rhubarb. I am familiar with outdoor plumbing, potty in the basement, etc!
Juicy fruit here!
Spent the day training hh worker and being interviewed by nurse from .ga, health care worker and thenm pt person.  A pt person starts next week, 2x a week for 4 weeks then we see.,   
Thanks for posts and seds

Tig - Nice link explaining the Silo art; City art.

Kb - Good you let Ollie get his sleep/rest today - I remember how some vaccines/shots would make a pet sleepy and want to take extra naps!

Baz - I agree with you in "bring on Monday' for LisaG! ;D

LisaG - Hope you somehow get some rest tonight even tho you are in much discomfort.

Phyl - You lived on the Mojave Desert?! :o ::)  Thanks for Amy's blog; goose cam shutdown.

Karen - When you mentioned outdoor plumbing, I remember my Mom has told me how in the early days of her marriage to my Dad, that their 'bathroom' was outside of the house!  She had to walk outdoors to get to the bathroom. :o :-[  This was back in 1956 & 1957.

Everyone have a good night & sleep well.

Lani, silo art is so beautiful, we have some here as well! They are making houses, apartments and all kinds of things out of them! And the murals on old buildings! When will Aly know if she gets the place? Fingers and toes crossed... Oh, those baby crocs!

E4E, I remember actually using the outhouse at my Grandparents, I was in second grade before they got their inside plumbing! The outhouse was never placed close to the house for obvious reasons... but we were only there in the summer, so at least it wasn't snowing.  ::) I remember a 'thunder pot' on the back porch for 'emergencies'!

karen, so glad to hear your PT is starting next week! I think you have been doing much better since you returned to your home!

Phyl, Stony Point, how beautiful! And The Flyway looks so serene... I remember a girl in my freshman Home Economics class named Jody. I think she was special ed, (but I don't remember the school having a special ed department). She couldn't use a sewing machine so she made gum chains while we sewed... Good to see all is well with the birds! Those tiny falcons are really huddled together, keeping warm. DH2 has his breakfish and is trying to figure out how to eat it! Put your foot on it! Love the Weekend pic!
(https://snapshots-production.explore.org/stream-production-216/20230519T114116_4530730.ts.jpg)

Lisa, yes, I do remember that the Fruit Stripe gum flavor didn't last more than 5 minutes!  When we flew back from England, we landed in New Jersey, took a cab to the car dealership where my dad had arranged the purchase of a brand new station wagon, It was while we were waiting for the paperwork that Dad bought us each our own pack of Fruit Stripe gum! We had never seen such a thing! You hang on girl, Monday is just around the corner...

baz, love the 'Happy are those'...

tsk, one of my old friends, Bev, wasn't much on camping (like your Mom). She waited in line to use the sink in the washroom, to brush her teeth and wash her face. The gal in front of her stuck her feet in the sink to wash them and Bev stomped back to their spot and insisted that her husband take her home. No more camping... Drove her crazy to sleep on the ground.

LesleytheBirdNerd - Little Lentil is busy nesting the last few days! 🥰🐦🧡💛

All of us got some extra nap/sleep time in yesterday...much needed and the air was filthy/smokey anyway.

Still smoke in the air today but supposedly getting better?....I have lots of outdoor work to catch up on now.

HI EVERYONE

67 heading to 71  Supposed rain starting in 15 min  ::) ::)  NOT

KAREN  You are so right.  Potted plants need to be watered every day.  that's the downside esp if you have a lot of them and no regular rain.
Where did you go in northern Wisconsin?   How many different hh aides have you had now?  Hope you get a good PT

EAGLES  As children Grandma and Grandpa's cabin up north had an outhouse.  They added indoor plumbing probably in the early 60's  ;D

PHYL   cute "weekend"        That's quite a crew at GSB

CLYNN   Interesting memory about Jody.  You always have such good/interesting  memories of your childhood . :)  " Washing feet in the sink"  LOLOL   Shade for deer  - so cute

KB  Mama cat and the baby otter " what's one more"  LOL

We had another inch of rain last night! It's very surprising for AZ, because it rarely rains in May, expecting more later this morning.

I'm heading out for an early meeting to tie up last week's business.
I hope you all have a lovely Friday!
See you later.  ;D

LANI   And that will be the last of it today - the wind up meeting.  Well the rain we got lasted about 20 minutes and not worth checking the rain gauge as it was really light rain.  Turning on the irrigation system now as the gardens are so dry I can't get one of my lawn ornaments post into the ground.  :P

PHYL  Nat'l Endangered Species would make a good puzzle.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


Lani, it's Friday - shake your coconuts!!   ;D ;D ;)

(((Lisa))), Monday is coming! Hugs.

Karen, it sounds like things are coming along nicely at your place. And I bet you are becoming an expert at "training" your HH workers.  ;)  I hope you will like your PT person! Maybe you can order something extra tasty for a weekend treat!


Take care, Beakers!  :)

There has been 5-10 inches of rain in my area of southeastern NC over the 12 hours since midnight last night... from a slow moving, mostly stalled, coastal low right over my area, near the NC/SC line. There have also been some unofficial reports of rain amounts higher than 10 inches since last night (last 12 hours), just across the river from me.  Spotty accumulations differing, based on which cloud you were under for how long. LOL. Some roads closed, and some water in some homes, businesses, and schools across the river from me, from the flash flooding. At my home, I was on the lower end of those rain accumulation totals. No flooding issues in my neighborhood, other than on some roads. It has been raining non-stop at my house since yesterday morning ,but it just stopped!! Still supposed to get some more lighter rain, off and on, till this evening. Expecting a nice outdoor weather day for Saturday here, and then rain again on Sunday is likely.

 Jim off today at 1pm and will plant my Spanish lavendar around the hummer feeder pole and the extra salvia in that little 'cove' by the spruces betwix us and Eddie/Aggie. You know  last Saturday Eddie asked me if I baked. You think he want's me to make him something?  ;D   ;)

Lori, that cake looks decadent... it all looks decadent! Would love the Vienna Roast!

baz, I hope you don't float away... ;D

tsk, watering potted plants can be a real chore...but so worth it!  Do you have any roses?  I bought 2 Knock Out roses from Home Depot. Someone told me they attract those Asian beetles. Have you ever heard of that?

Lani, glad it's your last meeting, and are you turning the reins over to someone else for next year?

kb, awww, the Mama kitty with the baby otter, how sweet!  Otters are so cute and they seem so gentle!

Clynn - All roses attract asian beetles..you should be prepared.

Many peeps in Minnesota have given up on roses because of them.

I spray with Neem oil and also a systemic at the base of them....bottom line it's an issue. Often.
Bunnies like them as well.

I am going to post pics tomorrow when I cut down totally my dead large climbing roses...Rabbits destroyed them, nothing left...no roses this year at all nor the vine behind them.
they also got at my shrub roses in front....7 of them
It's devastating, as it takes many years to get climbing roses to look like this:....I have 3 of them all destroyed, we shall see if they come back...they destroyed 2 others that never returned.

this is what an historic winter will do even if you fence them in..they ate my fence...I'll need to use metal next year.

Clynn - Love your morning 'peace'!  Liked the 'Thunder pot' for emergencies - hope everyone had one of those!!  Those were some primitive days - every once in while, my  - will tell stories about the 'old' days! ;D   ROFL about the story you told Tsk about your friend deciding not to go camping any more! ;D  Darling pic of Mama deer and fawns finding shade under an umbrella - too cute!

Karen - I agree with Clynn in that it seems you are doing better since you went back to your home. :)

Kb - I feel bad for you having to breathe in that smokey air - hope it clears out sooner than later. :(

Tsk - Here is a plumbing story for you :o  my Dad bought us a 2 bedroom, 1 bath house back in '61 when I was 4, and after he bought it, he found out the toilet wasn't hooked up and didn't work.  So of course he got it hooked up and working for us as soon as he could (we were a family of 4 at the time). :-[

Lani - Hopefully by now, you are already through with the meeting and now you can begin enjoying your weekend! 8)

Baz - I like your 'Happy Friday' gif  :)

Lori - Yum on that luscious looking Devils food cheesecake!  Wonderful goodies that I wish I could taste.

LisaG - You & Jeff came up with a good temporary solution to keeping the kittens in until you receive the Pet pen - I like the Charmin pkg as a step for Misty!

Tig - Glad it seems the Estimator was able to help you with a different task. :)

Hope everyone is having a nice Friday afternoon  :)

BAZI  Good news to hear you were at the low end of all those rain fall reports.  That is one heck of a lot of rain.  I'd be thrilled with just 1 inch of it  LOL

PHYL   Open invitation to bake something for Eddie!!!  Our neighbor at our back yard reached a bakery box over to Tim while he was working out there this afternoon.  Two individual strawberry shortcakes of 4 that he will toss unless we eat them - His dtr who lives with him isn't home this weekend.  They are really nice people who currently rent but I think would like to buy.

LORI  You were really busy baking today  ;D ;D

LISA  Gosh If I lived next door I could have loaned you my tent!!!  You did a good cut and paste job to keep them contained tho.  ;) ;)   The days are taking forever and having to be so uncomfortable is not fun.

CLYNN  You are so funny.  Puzzle it is!   Yes  I have 3 knock-out roses I have had for 14 yrs or so and yes if you see the Asian beetles on them you know you have grubs in your lawn.  I got after Tim to get the first application of Grub-X down after the lilacs were done and in another week or so he will do another dose.  You can pick them off and drown them and then spray the roses.  If you keep up with grub ex in your lawn, in my experience you don't get the beetles and if you do - just drop them in water ( which I keep right next to them)
Rosie and Richmond with more attractive decoration in their nest  ;D

KB  Only one year I had Asian beetles of the 14.  Rabbits have never touched them and we have a lot of rabbits.  But you have many more roses and different types that obviously the rabbits in your neighborhood love .

EAGLES  Can you imagine the quick job Dad had to do to get that toilet hooked up  LOL esp with little kids  :o

clynn - Ya like that fancy playpen, huh?  I am still looking for my pot of Vinca's.  I have stopped at Home Depot twice and they did not have them yet.  What are Knock Out roses?

kb - Sorry about your climbing roses.  They sure were pretty. 

tig - Yay on your honest estimator!

E4E - Thanks...we were getting tired of having to run in the room every 10 minutes to see if one of them was out of the pool. 

tsk - Awww, you are too sweet to offer tent, if you lived next door.  I really thought the playpen I ordered would have been here already, but it says, Tuesday from Amazon.  I also ordered one from Chewy...fingers crossed it will be here tomorrow! Agree with your statement....The days are taking forever and having to be so uncomfortable is not fun.

Have a good night, everyone!

No, we just have hundreds of rabbits on my street alone....people must be feeding them.
so many they starve when we have 90 inches of snow in the winter with ice and attack everything...many people lost lots of landscape this year...they ate all the bark on my 3 climbing roses, smokebush, and rhododendrum to name a few...that kills them.

Also, Asian beetles love Linden trees and other trees as well..there is a linden tree 2 houses down from me that is huge...I think Tig got hers taken down?

The problem is they have migrated from the east to west...The UofM Extension service has written about them for years with updates...some people in my neighborhood also bought those awful bags that killed them but actually increased the numbers in the neighborhood...shouldn't be sold.

I have used grubex every year but for the year Scott died, and paid for it in my lawn..now mostly recovered. Their cycle is app. 3 years then milder and then another round of 3.

Many new homeowners in the neighborhood didn't do anything preventative with their lawns and the whole neighborhood paid for it....bottom line though. Asian beetles are always around to some degree and one must be vigilant....esp. if you want roses.

so, so many people in my community complaining they have totally destroyed yards this spring. I'm not sure how much of it is from them not watering during our 2 year drought, and how much is grubs.
Probably both.
Luckily I have emerald green grass this year..

Very informative info and many more posts on same link.

Okay after reading everyone's replies I knew I missed somethings.


Lisa The 'Knock Out' rose is a low-maintenance flower that is relatively pest-and-disease-resistant. It features one-and-a-half inch in diameter flowers in coral, yellow, pink, and white varieties. The rose is a shrub that grows up to six feet tall and can spread four feet wide. Knock Out roses are among the most popular roses in North America. The rose was created by Will Radler, who cross-bred roses to create a new disease-resistant rose.

Re: your surgery time on Monday, at least you'll have some little bit of nourishment in your tummy.
Luv the photo of Ms. Misty and her kid-os.

KB I should post a photo of my roses--some little black  coating on the blooms and leaves. I thought it was a fungus and bought a fungicide spary.
After your posts I bet its those beetles  eating the two alive.!  Roses aren't out a month and feast time.

Lori Devil'f Food cake day--- ;D  You got me with the cakes!

Eagles yep! That's what they're called. ;D

tsk Just because it was mentioned twice.  None here either.  We had about 1/2 hour of gentle rain.  When I went out to water plants the guage had so little I only got a couple drips when I turned it over.  None on the program for the next few days either.

Clynn thanks for the Crow up date on the armadillo  pup.  Getting darker coloring---growing into it's ears.
Great photo of Rosie and Richmond at SF Bay. That's one determined  looking pair
LOL story about your friend not going camping anymore.

Tig refreshing that there are honest tradespeople around.

{{{KB}}} Still no relief with that smoke from Canada---hope you get some soon!  Will remember Neem Oil. That was an awesome rose bush! I have wild rabbits that use our yard as a restaurant --we have wild clover and strawberries. So I guess that's why they don't munch my roses. On the other hand , LOL, mine aren't as lovely and healthy nor desireous as yours.

Lani nice for you this is the last meeting for a while.  You can come up for 'air'.   Will you have an assistant or are you  transfering the positon to someonelse?

Bazi Friday poster,  ;)  I re read your post about the rain . Glad you were on the low flood end of the storm. But, sounds like more on the way for you. Let's
hope your ground isn't too satsurated from the past days. 🙏's

Tsk LOL Eddie and his open invite to bake for him. I'll do that sometime   esp when he helps Jim w/ mowing. I was telling him about the Explorer.org and their live African cams. And, how  wrapped up in them I've become. He even complimented me on pronouncation of
the African names. But,  I think it was how I rolled the 'R's" 
Said his youngest daughter would love  seeing the cams. So I gave him the Explorer link and all. 
Wow strawberry short cake from a bakery---yummie. Pretty cool being married to one's doc.  Come to think of it, some rental agreements come with an option to buy, applying the rent to the mortgage. Not the situation, I suppose? 
I can't find Maggie's pedicure scissors  ::)  Bet they're in  the last place I'll ever look  ;) LOL

Puff no rain for you either? Shucks. Be glad to share with Beakers  if we get any.   ;)

Well, guess I'm caught up---who knows?

Just want to clarify....rabbits don't eat my roses in the summer....only in our drastic winters....
they now eat the grass and I pretty much have made sure I don't have too many perennials anymore they like to eat..they did eat my tulips though...

You will see me when Ollie alerts me running out and saying shoo though!... ;D ;D...I have to get pretty close to them to see them scamper out of my garden.

Sure post a pic Phyl....It may just be black spot like you thought...hopefully anyway.

Kb - That is sad about your roses. 

Tsk - In later years, my Dad always cautioned us to flush the toilet before renting or buying! ;) ;D

LisaG - I recently went to Lowe's and bought flowers and looked for Vincas, but didn't find any.  I didn't ask if they had any, i just looked all over and didn't see any.

Puff - At least you got a couple of drops of rain  :)

Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

Sending   ...🙏 's .

Lisa the reason we have 'fake' shrubs up front is most of the originals died from 'something' that was in the soil bed. We kept replacing them and endedup spending hundreds evey year. I got tired of OHH HOA 'rules' and the issue in general . I finally threw caution to the wind and bought the faux boxwoods.

Just popping in to say hi for now, have to be out at Kay's by 7:00. ANOTHER dumpster to be picked up and an empty one delivered. The garage and storage room are/were all trash, except for the tools Erin got out first. I am guessing by the end it will be at least 5 dumpsters, maybe 6? It really doesn't matter how many, they charge by the weight of the trash, $50 per ton. And there is plenty of $$$ in the estate to take care of it.

Lindstrom, MN....kind of quirky water tower!

Morning all...

this is a fascinating article that scientifically proves what dog owners already know...the researcher trained dogs to lie still in an MRI machine to evaluate their brains.....yes, the reward center lit up just as much or more with the voice of the owner over treats...

other interesting facts...Ollie man asks permission to do many things: like can I go downstairs etc.
For me there is no such thing as "can't teach an old dog new tricks" as he and I continue to expand our attempt to communicate new things and new feelings still, and he's now 8...

Hello everyone!

Sorry I've been remiss about checking in.  Today is "clean off the patio" and set up Greenstalk planter (vertical), then transplant brassicas in there - tomorrow is transplanting the tomatoes.  They took the cold spell we've had the last 2 nights ok, but the greens bean seedlings.. not so much.  I may have to replant. Also need to harden off the green peppers/eggplants, but maybe starting next week.

Clynn - sounds like you are crazy busy - so I'll keep some tomato seedlings back for you.

Happy caturday, beakers!  69 going to 86!  Same tomorrow.
Phyll, black spot is fairly common on regular roses in  hot, humid  areas,  never had much luck with them in the south.  Tomatoes are the same.   A lot of aphids and much  spraying required.  In the end, cheaper to buy them and best if you have a good farmers market near by!
Clynn, you are an inspiration cleaning out Kays home.  Ready for the big purge here but .i need to see what shoild go!    Everyone thinks their stuff is important and good!
Enjoying the peace and quiet without anyone here?
 
Tsk, yes it was way up there and we went before interstates so it was a days drive.  Walked in the woods once and encountered a black bear and two cubs!  I think it was the fastest I ever ran.

Phyl - I didn't know (or forgot) you live in an HOA with rules - understandable to set out the 'almost real' plant/flower boxes! ;)  I bet it looks very nice. :)
Like the Decorah pic!  Thank you for all the pics. :)

Clynn - Another busy morning for you! After everything has been cleared out of Kay's place, will the estate have some folks go in and clean the place?

Kb - Like the water tower pic!    Interesting article - a lot of good info.

Nr - Good to see you!  I see your gardening is keeping you busy  :)   I bet Clynn will love those tomato seedlings, as I remember you have shared with her!

Tsk - Lulu looks so cute in her little tent!  :)

Karen - Wow, that must have been quite the experience to have seen a mama bear with her 2 cubs during a walk in the woods! :o  Thanks for the story!

LisaG - How are you this morning?  Monday will be here soon {{LisaG}}   Hope you & Jeff have been able to keep the kittys from escaping their containment!

Good Morning Beakers....It's Caturday!!!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e2/ba/19/e2ba1980fdd3286bd4b6cae9f701003a.jpg)

Phyl - Thanks for the info on the Knock Out roses.  I sure wish I could have a cuppa coffee Monday.  Thanks for the cam pics.

Puff - Those are the kind of rains I like, gentle.

karen - It was kinda funny, cause Bandit was in the hallway looking at Piper, like what are you?

clynn - Wow, on all the dumpsters you all have had to have to clear out Kay's place.  You, Erin and Sydney are wonderful people for doing this!

E4E - I wonder if they are not doing the Vinca's in big pots this year.   :(  I am hanging in there, thanks for asking!

kb - Like the quirky water tower, too!

nr - Good to see you, you sound busy!

tsk - Love the pic of Lulu in her safe place from the Swiffer  ;D 

oldguy - Thanks for all the videos. 

At the moment, Jeff is the only one who wants to get in the playpen.  Misty wants nothing to do with it.   ;D ;D ;D  I think it reminds her of the carrier we have.

Hey there Beakers! Happy Caturday!  ;D

I'm sorry I was late last night, it was a busy day. Shannon surprised us yesterday afternoon, with a visit and took us out for a belated Mother's Day dinner!
It gave us a great time to catch up with family news, and last time the girls will be together for awhile. It was a fun time! Even the pups enjoyed their toys from Aunt Shannon!  ;D

Aly and I are going to Pine for a couple jars of honey and lavender for Aly to take with her.
Then to U-Haul for packing boxes and material for her move in a week or so....

I hope everyone is well. I'll be back later to catch up on your Friday and Saturday news.

Lisa, I peeked in on fb and saw .jeff in the playpen!  Thought maybe he was in time out!   I think if the babies see the playpen and Misty gets to play explore it for awhile she might get in it!  Takes a while for them to get used. To new things!  Then again she may say. No thanks!  Funny about  Bandit and Piper.

Lani. Nice surprise for you and Mike!

some bounce

Tnx T40...  ;)

Well... I did what I was afraid I would do... I got that "old" thin skin on my arms last year that bruises and rips easily. I was cleaning out dead branches and leaves and refuse from in and around my Mom's old grape vine (including sawing)... so that our painter has better access to the trellis. My short gloves were no protection. as I ripped a nice 4 inch gash in the top of my forearm. GRR. I awakened Camper to come help with bandaging. Luckily I had already finished cleaning and rearranging the exterior "storage" area on the backside of our garage earlier. I've been cleaning and rearranging a few areas outside as I saw chipmunks this a.m.  >:(
And, luckily, I previously laid in plenty of paper tape and non-stick gauze pads. Of course I went back out and finished the job.
I'll rest and hydrate for a couple of hours and then Camper and I will cover the berry bushes with netting. So much to do before fishing week. I bought a 2 gallon bucket to replace my 5 gallon. It will be lighter and easier to manage when transporting fishes to and from the cleaning shack.
OK. Nap time.
Hugz all

Lani - Sounds like a wonderful belated Mother's Day dinner with your girls.  Hope you had a nice day in Pine. Awww, SP is really beautiful. 

T40 -   :D  and thanks for the videos...still have a few left to watch. 

karen - Misty is staying far away from playpen.  I think it reminds her too much of the carrier. 

tsk - I love the look Misty is giving Jeff...like the playpen is all yours buddy!  ;D

tig - Sorry about your home.  I hope it heals quickly for you.

Well, I got around to 2 hours of cutting down my now dead climbing roses....

This is what rabbits do in an historic winter even with plastic fencing protecting them. They ruin every thing. I Hate rabbits...in a Northern winter climate.

Lost now: 3 climbing roses ( previously 5).....2 may return?...but it took 10 years of neem oiling them to protect from japanese beetles, tying them up, and protecting them, only to be destroyed in 1 nasty winter....along with the entire length of Virginia Creeper behind them.

Didn't show my ruined rhododendrum and smokebush....among others...

Mercy....I have been thinking about alternative ways to keep them out of my back yard. I have a chain link fence.

My grass looks good though!

I sat in the sun when done to de-compress.....thinking a lot about Scott this week...I come up with the word "quiet".....a quiet soul he was for me....maybe peaceful?...will meditate on it more....He didn't hesitate to be loud when needed to protect me, so don't get me wrong.

Grass ferns and low bushes look great! I have Virginia creeper climbing a tall pine.  I did not plant it so think yours may return.  Have patience!

Tig, wondered why Camper did not help!    He did the first aid stuff! hope your arm heals well!

TIG  What a day.  Ouch - maybe a long sleeved shirt next time?  Tim's skin breaks all the time.  Our bathroom cabinet looks like Walgreens bandage aisle.  ::) ::)   Fishing week - bucket to carry all the fish - Hope the fish don't know you are coming  LOL

LISA  Maybe if you put all the kitties in there at night , Misty will jump in ?? ( that's if Jeff moves out of course  LOL)

KB  The grass is gorgeous.  Well ,areas will look empty for a while.  Have you though of replacements that are no maintenance?  I have two sides of my house that are no maintenance - Ferns on the backyard side and hosta on one neighbor side.  New landscaping in the front has that low maintenance.  Ferns are beautiful and I love them.  No weeding there either - same with hosta.

OLDGUY  Here's to a big victory tonight at cards.  Penny -  ;D

Karen - Lol; you thought Jeff looked as though he were in time out!

Tig - Oh my gosh - too much labor out in the yard.  :o ::)  You are a family person full of determination for your yard!  Make sure you take it easy and rest tomorrow!

LisaG - Oh no, Misty isn't liking the pet playpen. . . . what to do? ::)

Kb - I have found that when I need to reminisce or think about something, sitting out in the peace & serenity of the yard is perfect.  Sounds like you feel the same.   Rabbit debarking  :(

OG - Have a fun night at cards - hope you win!! :)   Did you have to make the food for tonight?

Phyl - Oh no, so sorry about your post that went 'Poof'  :( ???   That is so frustrating. >:(

tsk - We put the kitties in there last night to see how Misty would react, and she whined the whole time they were in there and she would not get inside of the playpen.  I bet if it didn't remind her of the carrier (what it is made out of) she would probably get inside.  So, Chewy boxes will be the playpen till they leave.  I am going to donate the playpen to Animal Control. 

Phyl - I have those same looking scissors for Bandit.  Jeff does the cutting while I do the holding and consoling.   :D  Thanks for the cam pics.  DH2 has done so well with self feeding this morning!

E4E - Jeff is a hoot, and thanks for Monday  :-*

Lani - Fingers crossed that Aly hears something soon on the home rental.  When does she leave? 
Vinca and Periwrinkles are my most favorite, too.  Thanks for Monday  :-*

Long day yesterday, the fresh dumpster arrived around 9:00 (I was there at 7:00). Dianna and I worked until around 12:30. She listed one of the small furniture pieces on FB Marketplace and sold it immediately, so she is going to see if she can sell some of the other items. We have a big batch of kitchen and decor that Salvation Army is picking up Monday. So it looks like I am still on my Mondays at Kays... I had been giving her the Willow Lane angels for years and found most of the boxes in the basement. Erin will keep an eye out for the rest. Found Kay's bronzed baby shoes, I am going to clean them up for Kelsey, they are made into bookends.

My Aunt Linda called Friday night, Mom fell on the front deck, and of course she hit the patch of concrete that is the original front steps! Her nose was bleeding so she called Aunt Linda to take her to the ER (she is on blood thinners). Everything was fine but she did break her nose! She said she didn't lift her one foot enough (she has neuropathy in one foot) and her other foot got ahead of her. She will be 89 in November...

Lani, still crossing my fingers for Aly... The guy that brought this dumpster was really nice, I asked him if he had an estimate of how much a full one weighs, he said around 1.5 tons for household goods. So we have already had 3 tons of stuff hauled off! But we have also found a lot of good stuff we are keeping!  SP is looking so good! Oh those sweeties in the hammock!  Did you and Aly get all you wanted in Pine? I would love to go there with you and Aly!

Phyl, your good night cat could be Harley! Sorry for your disappearing post...we have all seen that! And it's maddening!  DH2 looks so sweet, learning to eat on his own, a hard lesson! Love the pantaloons! The GSB babies are in a cuddle, so sweet! and Millie is sleeping too! The grackles in the basement, this is the first time we have actually seen the basement dwellers! Thanks for all the pictures!

E4E, I plan to use my re-modeled deck for just sitting and reminiscing! He is making the doors now, I will stain the wood once he is done. Then I can sit with a coffee or other beverage, listen to some soft rock and relax...

Lisa, LOVE the picture of Jeff in the kitty playground, and Bandit just staring at him... ;D ;D  I love a man that loves cats! He is the best Cat Grandpa! I am saving the picture to Pinterest, so we can enjoy it again... and again! Sorry Misty wanted nothing to do with the playpen! Tomorrow is Monday, you are almost there...

tig, ouch! Yes, we senior gals need to wear long gloves when doing yard work!

tsk, I think we have Walgreen's First Aid aisle in our linen closet! You just never know what you will need, that's what Ed says. Who will ever need 19 ACE bandages?

Oh Connie.  Bet your heart went into your stomach at the word of Mom falling.  Broken nose bad enough but sure could have been worse.  Prayers for Mom.  I bet Kay never threw anything away! 3 tons of stuff.  :o :o   So hard to believe. Kelsey will treasure those bronzed baby shoes.  What a beautiful new porch area you have.  Do you have the furniture for it?     LOLOL  "19 ace bandages" Can so agree.  :o  Great clip of DH2

KAREN  Does that dog rescue get you thinking about adopting a dog again?

Tim should finished planting his garden today and I need to sweep/hose off the patio - once all his equipment is put away - for my shawl meeting tomorrow AM.  Will be nice enough to sit outside.

Phyl, Gorgeous DH2 is doing so well. Thanks for nests update.

Lisa, sorry about the playpen, good idea about donating to AC. I remember when Misty took a long time to visit the B&B, she doesn't like to be contained or trapped. Aly will leave next Sunday or Monday.  :'(

{{{Clynn's Mom}}} Oh honey, sending prayers and hugs for your mom   🙏.🙏  Is she staying with someone while healing? .... Kelsey will treasure Kay's bronzed baby shoes... Love your enclosed porch, I would spend hours there too. Are you enclosing the roof? ... Aly and I bought homegrown honey in Pine, and a handfuls of lemon Honey drops for one of my friend's 95 year old mom. We dropped off the lemon drops for my friend's mom who is now in hospice in Linda's home in these final days and gave Linda lots of TLC.  :'( .... Linda's mom is bedridden now, and has a view of Tonto National Forest from her bed. Bless her heart, she now sees the forest lit up with bright sunshine and flowers, also, she sees a very handsome young man guiding and playing with children and their pets. She is so sure of this young man, that she asked Linda to invite him and the children to her birthday party that was celebrated three weeks ago.  I am in awe of what she sees and the beautiful glow on her face.  :-* .... what a sweet face of DH2. Looks like a male, reminds me of sweet E3  :-*

Kb, gorgeous morning pic!  ;D

Karen, I pray all 35 pups will be in loving homes soon.

Tsk, YAY! Back to having Shawl meetings  ;D

Indian-American wins National Geographic ‘Pictures of the Year’

(https://indianewengland.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/National-Geographic-Picture.jpg)

"A bald eagle arrives to steal a perch on a tree log that offers a strategic view of the shoreline at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Alaska. When other eagles drag freshly caught salmon in from the water, these bystanders swoop in to take a share. "Hours of observing their patterns and behavior helped me capture moments like these,” says photographer Karthik Subramaniam, a software engineer with a passion for wildlife photography."
KARTHIK SUBRAMANIAM

PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 17, 2023
• 7 MIN READ

“Whenever there’s salmon there’s going to be chaos.” This was Karthik Subramaniam motto as he camped out near the shore of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Alaska, waiting for action.

"It was the final day of his week-long photography trip and just a few hours before his ferry departed, but the software engineer-turned-hobbyist photographer stayed, watching as bald eagles swooped in and out of the fishing grounds. Haines, Alaska, a southern tip of land sandwiched between two inlets, hosts one of the largest congregations of bald eagles in the world every fall, when around 3,000 arrive in time for the salmon run.

Subramaniam noticed there was a log where a few lingered. This choice spot put the eagles in proximity to the shore, where their peers would sometimes arrive with the spoils of a successful hunt: a freshly caught salmon. When a fish appeared, the bystanders would descend for their portions.

As Subramaniam trained his lens on a branch, there was a commotion: an incoming eagle swooped in, intimidating its current resident, and claiming the prime spot. He titled the resulting image “Dance of the Eagles” as an homage to a fictional dragon war in George R.R. Martin’s novel A Dance with Dragons, and submitted it to the National Geographic Pictures of the Year contest.

For years, Subramaniam has been photographing landscapes and his travels, but, in 2020, grounded by the pandemic in his San Francisco home, he started experimenting with wildlife photography. He scoured the local natural reserves—driving an hour to Point Reyes National Seashore and walking the city’s parks—in search of birds and other creatures. Hearing that two bald eagles were nesting on top of an elementary school two hours from home, Subramaniam began going there on the weekends, camping out for as long as it took to capture them flying out to hunt.

The patience he learned in that trial period paid off. On Friday, his photograph of the eagles in Alaska was announced as our grand prize winner, earning it a spot in the May issue of this magazine. What Subramaniam appreciates most about the photo is the tension of the moment. “It opens up the question: what happened next?” he says. The reality is less mysterious: the triumphant eagle got bored when no salmon appeared and soon surrendered the spot to the next hungry observer."

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


((Clynn)), oh no about ((your Mom)) falling! I hope she is doing okay, and will mend quickly.  Hard work at Kay's!  Nice to be able to make some donations along the way, too. Is there a Habitat For Humanity Re-Store there? Some of those stores would love to sell some things you might want to donate, too... they make for good used-stuff shopping for lots of folks - don't tell Ed!  ;)  Your enclosed deck is looking great!  I would put a sleeping couch, or hammock, or such, out there! Great for naps, and real night snoozing, too. Wish I had a sleeping porch!

((Lori)), Zippo flaps hello back to Destini.  I'm thinking that is not Destini's "confusion couch" - she doesn't look at all confused.  ;) :-*

((Tig)), heal!!  :) ;) The thought of getting in a pool with an open wound gives me the shivers. Glad you're staying out for now. Take care, and look forward to your fishing trip!  :D

((Lani)), your lemon honey drops and TLC - perfect for Linda and her mom. Lots going on in your family now.  :-*

((Karen)), back to the closet... ugh, I need to do some closet sorting, too.  I hope your hard working HH is the one there today, and not talking too much.  ;)

Phyl, did Jim get your new plants in the ground this weekend?

((KB)), what's done is done, hard as it must be to see.  Try to let it go, and look forward to enjoying some new plantings.

Oldguy, gotta love Walter Santi and his videos! Hope it was a fun and relaxing time at cards last night - win, lose, or draw.  :)

T40, funny stuff!  :D

BL, did you catch up with your boat captain friend while you were in the OBX?

((NR)), you're staying busy! Your garden planting sounds wonderful!  I hope you enjoy the bounty!  :)

((TSK)), yum on all the good eats Tim is planting! Mmm, mmm, good!! We used to joke with our mom that her yummy garden fresh produce from our backyard was probably the most expensive fresh veggies ever!!  ;D

((Lisa)), Jeff's a keeper!!!  :-*  And so is that pic of him in the Kitty Playpen!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;)  Maybe it's time to just release the hounds! ... er, I mean the kittens!!  ;D :-* 8)  I know you are counting down the hours till your procedure tomorrow. I'm sure it's going to go great, and you are going to feel like a new person after it!!  Hang in there!!  :)

KAREN  Even tho the Farmers Market is $$  - ultimately cheaper if you add in Tim's efforts at getting up and down from the ground and the lugging of topsoil and miracle gro and the watering/weeding, efforts at keeping critters away. etc.

PHYL   SOAR does amazing things for sure.  Great shot of the eagles  Subramaniam made a good choice switching to wildlife  :o :o  Enlarged the pic and saw the beak - good spotting

Aw... I thought Camper was just going to mow the front but he did the whole yard. I pruned a couple spruce twigs that always surprise us when we mow and then I gave the mower deck a good clean. I think he could tell I was pretty low energy today after all I did yesterday. Good news bad news... I had lathered my wound with aloe gel yesterday... It healed a lot of the scrapes but it dried and some of the bandage stuck. Ouch. I washed it well and rinsed with plenty of cool water, then applied Vaseline and fresh bandage. Phew.

It will be good to sleep in and rest this week.

Another full dumpster at Kays, that's 3 for the garage. But it is done! I wish I had taken a 'before' picture of it. It wasn't done when we had the 'hoarder's' cleanup three years ago, so it was really bad. Kay's sister is coming back on the 29th and will leave on the 2nd. She will get a realtor and have that person get people to clean and do a few minor repairs and paint where needed. We need one more dumpster for the upstairs. It's all been gone through so just needs to be trashed. Then Debbie will set someone to haul off the big things we can't do, like the bed, couch etc. She also has a washer/dryer upstairs that needs to go. So Diana and I are almost done, just getting the small stuff from upstairs and pitching it in the dumpster.

Lani, oh Dewey is going to miss you all, especially Sadie!  Sweet sleeping bear cub... 

Phyl, love the sweet mice, all covered up for the night! What a stunning NG picture of the eagles!

Lisa, prayers for a smooth and easy procedure this morning...and a nice breakfast after!

E4E, I talked to Mom yesterday, she says she doesn't have much pain, she just looks awful! So nice that you can visit with your Mom and Sis often! My sisters live in Oregon and Texas, and Mom is 8 hours away, so we don't see each other very often. But we do call weekly or more! And I text with my sisters!

baz, I don't think Ed has been to the Re-Store. I thought it was all construction type things for houses, like doors, windows, sinks, cabinets etc. If there's more I will NOT tell Ed!   ;D

tsk, I agree with you, for all the work and $$$ Ed put into his tomatoes last year, the cost was about $3 for each cherry tomato! We never did get any large tomatoes! Maybe the crop will be better this year.  ::) Bella always wants to go help Papa water the tomatoes!

SWFL - Sue Bruhling - E22 and his Little Friend Ms. Mockingbird!! Look at the Look on her face!! IDK? Could it be a female that has a Big Bird Crush on Handsom E22 ❤ and that's why she won't leave him alone?? 😉 Lol!! 🙂 Thank You! Desiree Deliz's Photography for sharing your Pictures with us! ❤

I sure wish I was having this coffee and goodies this morning.  Jeff was kind enough to drink his coffee and eat breakfast in the other room. 

clynn - Sounds like you all really had your work cut our for you at Kay's.  I am hoping Jeff will want to stop at Red Hot & Blue for a late lunch/early dinner after my procedure, but a Cracker Barrel breakfast for dinner sure sounds good, too. Beautiful pics from SWFL!

Lani - Thank you.  Awww, Dewey....will Aly stop halfway on her drive to Medford?

E4E, tsk, Phyl, baz and all - Thank you. 

Will check in when I get home.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

54  heading to 78 and sunny  :)

TIG  Ouch is right - Please give yourself some rest..Back surgery or not I am realizing I just cannot do as much as I used to.  "My eyes are always bigger than my stomach" - a familiar quote from childhood.

EAGLES  I think Tim likes the "idea" of a garden but when it comes right to it, forgets year to year how much work it is.  :-\

LANI   Long drive - couple days I hope.  Pets know the routine so well and can detect any small change.. ;)

CLYNN   What an ordeal - straight to heaven for you gals!!   Restores have everything.  Had one in Door county when we used to have our place there.  Don't know where the closest one is here.  Thanks for the report on Mom.

LISA  Prayers on the way.

For the record, 2022 was a lousy tomato crop.

Awe, hugs and kisses...

Happy Monday Morning all!

I have another skin cancer appt this morning...this time on upper chest and no stitches....not a Mohs surgery as only a deep debride and no stitches.

Funny Doc...Every 6 months I see him now for a complete body check and he always says something to the effect of this is why we see you this often to catch things early.....
However, he dissed my face one when I pointed it out Doc!....until after Covid it was very deep....all the other ones I have shown him myself!....I just say nothing...LOL...

Have a successful surgery Lisa!

Phyl - good....

Lani - oof, 18 hours alone....she's young and experienced however...I couldn't do it...I got too reliant on my hubby driving long distances..In my 20's I drove to California but with a friend trading off.
I'm however excited for her.

The city just hired someone to mulch up my boulevard city tree stump...noisy ya know...I watched the mulch fly all over my gardens but talked with the guy who is an arborist..He said the mulch is good for my gardens...The city will come out later today and pick it up....I might head out and ask them to leave some for me to put out around the garden.?....He also said he could tie up my arbors...with arbor ties...I told him I had an estimator coming on Wednesday, my ash tree treater who is very expensive and he said to call him if it was too much and he could do it probably for less money...so glad I walked out there...the city also needs to drop some grass seed...on the boulevard that hasn't grown well since the gas line replacement.

Later gators

Lani - My Grandson's team is done with baseball this year - a lot of rained out games.  My Mom still has an issue that may require surgery.  Thanks for asking. :)   Aly won't drive straight thru tho right?

Clynn - I know that you and your Mom & sisters are a tight-knit family although you all live far apart from each other.  I am lucky that my Mom & sister only live 5 minutes away from me.
Glad that your Mom is not having terrible pain with her broken nose. I feel so bad that happened to her. :o :(
Like the SWFL pics!

LisaG - Wishing you the very best today!  Enjoy a nice meal out later on! ;D

Tsk - Tim must really enjoy having a garden, because it probably is cheaper & must less work to go to the Farmer's Market that you mentioned.  Nice that it gives him a good feeling of accomplishment - nothing better than fresh vegies & herbs!

Puff - Like what you said;  that it's the priceless memories of Ed & Bella and the tomatoes! ;D

Phyl - Nice temp for your area today. :)   Thank you for all the wonderful cam pics!  Like the Puffin burrow.

I've had 3 areas diagnosed with both basal and squamous cell already....

Chris' geneticist told us he has "funky skin".....he has Ehlers Danlos.....
I must have "funky skin" as well... ;)

There must be a song in there somewhere (funky skin)

Puff, like you said, Bella will have wonderful memories of Ed, like I do with my grandfather.

Phyl, nice update pics of Grackle family, the Quartet, Millie Puffin and all...

{{{Kb and Chris}}} sending prayers for good appointments..... Aly's a bit worried about her drive too. It's shorter if she goes through California, but she doesn't like the freeway connections there, so she's going up north and through Nevada.... love the dolphins, turtles, sharks, ocean, anything having to do with or live in water. It's our family aumakua.

{{{Tig}}}

Eagles, Is your grandson going to be involved in other sports activities? My nephews' baseball season is heating up. But then, it always seems like baseball season in Hawaii.  ;D continued prayers for your mom (I was thinking about her  :) ) ... Aly will drive at least eight hours the first day and then stop somewhere to spend the night for Dewey. He's a nervous traveler.... She's having a two guys and truck move her things and plant pots. I'll miss her, she's my best buddy, we have lots of laughs... for a therapist she takes me as I am LOL!  ;D

Kb - Sounds like you have a good 'dermatologist' looking after your skin! :)

Lani - Actually it looks like our grandson has a make-up baseball game on Wednesday.  We will plan to go to the game!  He will next go out for football.  He's been playing football the last few years too!   Wishing safe travels for Aly.  :-*

Baz - Happy Monday to you too!

Puff - On those links; I waited a while for each and nothing would come up  ::)

Karen - You had a productive day - good deal!! ;D

LisaG - If you did not get to go out for a meal today - then there is always tomorrow!!  Hope all went well, and you deserve a meal out at a restaurant!  :-*
Hope you are feeling a lil better and not having as much discomfort as you had been having.

Phyl - I love Puffins  ;D  Thanks for all!

OG - Don't know if I missed it, but how was Cards last Saturday?  Usually you make something to eat for the folks, did you make something?

Tig - How are you healing up?  Hope you are getting some good rest!

Tsk, Clynn, Lori  :)

Had a good productive day;  hubby & I went and got some lumber to start a new storage unit that we really need!   I helped him unload and carry the lumber & materials to the backyard.   Then, after that, I went to the store for groceries, and saw the HR Mgr - Office Mgr from work!  It was so wonderful to see her - we chatted for about 15 minutes - so good!  She was there shopping (at 1:30) for salad stuff for a luncheon on Friday for a fellow who is retiring from the Shop (maintenance) dept. 

Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

Eagles, how nice to run into your former HR manager. Do you miss not working? You've been busy busy since retiring. It would be fun living near my niece/nephews, I would love to watch them compete in their activities.

Tig, isn't it about time for you and Camper to take one of your long weekend trips? You've been so busy you need time away... nice you and Camper were able to attend Camper's granddaughter's choral concert tonight.

Lani, the Albatross chick is a beauty, so white and fluffy! I'm glad to hear that Aly is taking the scenic route to Medford! That's what I would do.  ::) I bet she is excited about her new job, making new friends and all. And yet sad about leaving Payson...I foresee many, many phone calls! Love those poppies at sunset...

E4E, building a shed! Great project and you can take your time doing it! I have met a couple of co-workers in the grocery store too! Catching up to do!

Phyl, I am going to ask the gardener that is planting my roses to advise me on keeping bugs away. I had 3 dwarf butterfly bushes a few years back that got the Asian beetles bad. Paid $35 apiece for them from a nursery, they did not last more than a couple of years. The last year there were no beetles on them. Go figure!  I had to look up WLF Certified Yard, wow, that is very special! I remember the 'girls' in your back yard!  Mama Grackle sleeping...

Lisa, I hope today all of the surgery effects are gone today and you are feeling much better! Maybe you told the anesthesiologist about Jeff in the cat play yard?  ;D ;D ;D

Puff, that would be wonderful, to get your yard certified!

tig, 6.5 hours of moving sprinklers? Wow!

kb, no mowing!

Lani tks for update on Royal Albatross chick SP. Handsome and so white/watched the Twitter video.  What an exditing time for Aly. No doubt lots of phone calls. And maybe Mom and Dad spending  a vacation in Medford sometime.

CLynn pretty daisies;  all that native grass, bee friendly clover and wildflowers would be a good break for KB's mowing for sure.
A lovely tirbute by father to departed son.

So cute!...a baby peacock...

Happy Tuesday all.

Clynn - I love me some emerald green grass....got plenty of flowers already. Personally I hate that idea..
I am trying this week a product to kill any clover that's in my grass....it's not supposed to hurt the grass, I'll try a smaller part first.

As an aside, No Mow May has turned out to be total bunk....researchers spoke about the false report leading up to it. It was on all our news channels and thank goodness our city never adopted it officially.

Lani - thank you.

Yep... We have a large property and due to not wanting to deal with an extra hose and needing to remove a ceiling panel in the basement to drain the front yard spigot pipe in the Fall, we don't use the water access in the front. I drag the house from the back around to the front. I set in at least 2 areas in front, 2 sides of house, and at least 2 areas in back, plus the garden. What I am watering are trees and flowers... the lawn benefits.

Yep, I water 1 and 1/2 inches per quarter of back yard...used a tuna can once to measure it...takes at least an hour per quarter....that's just the back for me...my yard only...I hand water or use soaker hoses in my gardens...
No rain this week at all, tig, at least in the forecast going forward.
I have 4 hoses hooked up to just my back outdoor faucet....1. lower grass, Scott ran it under the deck and out to a second spigot in front of deck, 2, to my back yard sink...luckily for me he hooked it up so I can wash up outside, 3...large reel to hand water the gardens and fill the jacuzzi, clean the decks, and 4, an upper deck hose just for that one...
It's complicated but works....took me awhile to set it all back up a few days ago..pliers tightening etc.

No headache or sinus pressure, but that right ear feels full and is popping a lil. I'm pretty sure that is normal. As long as there is no bleeding or discharge coming from it, I guess that is ok.  I took some Tylenol at 8pm and then finally a 800 mg Ibuprofen at 5 am.  They said, I can start back my Aleve this afternoon, so my body aches will start to feel better once I get a few days of that and Ibuprofen in me.

tsk - Thank you  :-*

Phyl - Thanks  :-*  Great pics from the cams. Love the geese families. 

E4E & Phyl - Jeff did an online order from our favorite BBQ place while I was in recovery and picked it up on the way home.  I had fried catfish fingers, fried okra and potato salad.  Then, when I got home I had a HUGE cuppa coffee!

tig - How is your wound doing?

Lani - Pretty good night pic, and thank you  :-*  Thanks for the Royal update!

clynn - LOL...He says, I am giving you a lil something...I said, I need a good sleep...I have 7 kittens at home...and was out!!!!!!!

Monarchs are now in my garden  ;D

61 heading to 83 and sunny  :)

EAGLES  You are so lucky to have a hubby who is so handy.  Does he just create or work from a set of plans?  Fun to run into an employee and catch up  ;)

TIG  Nice break in your day to hear Camper's granddtr sing - Did she have a solo?

LANI   Nice close-up of SP's eye.  Beautiful good night poppies  :)

CLYNN   WOW  what an amazing sculptured head stone for the wheel chair bound son.  :'(

KB  That baby peacock makes me smile  ;D  Tim wanted to remove our clover too and ended up killing the grass using a product that said it would not kill grass.  You will find other opinions that clover is good for the grass.  The way I see it - it keeps the rabbits out of my garden  LOL AND it is green  :o 8)     LOLOL on the instagram piece.

LISA   You have a plan but it just takes a while.  Hope that ear improves quickly.

Lani - I do not miss work!!  I am enjoying retirement - no regrets at all - I was more than ready to retire when I did so last Sept!!   Love the vid of SP chick's eye & bill! :)  Thinking of Aly and her travels - hope all is well - I'm sure she is keeping in close contact with you & Mike!

Clynn - Yes it is nice to see an old coworker at the grocery store.  :)    Good luck with your roses!

Phyl - Cute pic of DH2!  Like the nice pic of Geese on the ground  :)

Kb - Darling pic of baby peacock! Sounds like you have your watering system and hoses hooked up just right! Very good! 8)   Kb, loved the cute vid of dog listening to phone conversation! Lol!! ;D ;D

LisaG - Glad you got thru yesterday - now for the healing - take care {{LisaG}}  Nice that Jeff picked up some good food and you got to enjoy a delicious meal!

Tsk - How wonderful Monarchs are in your garden!! :)  Do you still set out milk weed and stuff for them?   Hubby will build the new storage unit from Plans he ordered on line when he built one a couple of years ago, and he needs another, so making a 'sister' shed to go with the original one. :)

Hello Beakers!  :)




My close 1st cousin, Earl, died yesterday evening, after 2 weeks in Hospice care.  He was a special person, and a family favorite... whip-smart, fun, and so nice, and had a most incredible sense of humor, but quietly - lucky were those who sat within earshot of him!  ;) :D  He was the main influencer for my getting into general aviation and getting my pilot's license. Kicked many a classic airplane tire, and peeked under their cowlings, alongside him, and enjoyed time in his hangar while he tinkered on one of his taildraggers or other airplanes at the little, private airport that was so much at the center of his world.  He always had a good word or helping hand for others, and kept an eye out for the least among us, to whom he quietly showed supportive caring and kindness. A real gem, who always will be in my heart.  :-* 




Lisa, I'm glad you're on the road to feeling better again.

Clynn, I like Minnesota's offer!  Some other states/cities are doing likewise.

Tig, I use paper tape, also... good stuff.

TSK, yay, the Monarchs are back!  :) :-*


Waving to All the Beakers! Take care, All.  :)

LANI   Glad you have some time today for plant shopping,  Maybe time enough for Aly to help plant.

All butterflies evolved from ancient moths in North America 100 million years ago

Scientists have revealed how butterflies evolved and took over the world in a new tree of life.

KarenG  Nests seem to be having issues by me.  Found two laying on, lawn  3 days apart, under the crimson maple.  Wind must have blown them down.  Then kept finding twigs etc at the front door carpet under the door adornment.  Someone had tried making a nest in the hanging. But, there is a determined chickadee determined to use a nest box hanging from the garage overhang.

Kb  That's a whole other discussion/decision -- To garden or not to garden.

Yard & Garden = both good for the soul.

Good report from Lisa!  So where's mine?  I'll get back on later tonight.

some bounce

We attended the St. Paul Saints game today, then changed shirts and headed a few towns away to attend Camper's granddaughter's high school celebration and induction into the Navy. That makes 2 girls and 2 boys in the Navy from that one family. Wow. The oldest got out last year and is in college. 2 are in Hawaii and 2 will be in Maryland for a while. Nice to have a sibling close by... even if they outrank you!

I had a healthy chicken salad on cranberry nut bread at the game. For supper, we stopped by a favorite Mexican restaurant and I had a margarita and I brought home half the yummy salad that had greens, green olives, avocado, H.B. egg, chicken tinga, chipotle dressing, bacon, roasted corn, cheddar cheese, queso fresco, pico de gallo, tortilla strips.

Arm looks better tonite.

So, do you really want the word?  Here goes:  The patient lived.

As expected the arthritis was at work on my right hip.  Years back did right knee and left knee so I knew the pain and knew the odds.  At this point doc says he doesn't prefer to jump right in with replacement without using medical means.  Ergo, we will try 2 or 3 injection procedures.  If they don' t keep me moving and my pain controlled then we do the replacement. Had the steroid shots for spinal arthritis a while back also, somewhere along the way the steroids worked; manageable pain most of the time there now.  Hope for the  same results with the hip, too.  But then there's the other hip to think about.
As my original ortho once pronounced  Our bodies were not meant to last this long, especially with what with what we put them through.

And, my favorite saying - Our medical system is expensive and screwy - but it's the best thing going on the planet.  In my travels and experiences around the globe I've had many opportunities to compare.

And, I have to repeat my funny of the whole experience. . .
When all finished I came home had a grilled cheese/Pepsi and went down for a nap.  I hadn't had a good sleep for a week.
Went to sleep about 5 - 5:30  and woke up at 7:30  this morning.

I feel like I am running in circles, Bella will be calming for me today! Kay's sister is coming back on Memorial Day, so Dianna and I are wrapping things up there, we have realtor for her. He will take care of everything we can't, like getting the big items hauled off, the minor repairs made, the fumigation ( :o) etc. He was the realtor that helped us find this house when we relocated here. And she will be able to do the closing via Skype or something. She is driving a U-Haul back with the Grandmother's furniture pieces that Kay and I packed into a U-Haul and brought here back in 2006.

Phyl, awwww, cute lion cub! Interesting article on the butterflies! Love the Goodnight Fairie clock! Another beautiful sunrise...osprey at Charlo! The four GSB little ones are looking good! And Decoran, Two Harbors, all looking good!

Lani, did you get all that stuff at the plant fair? Good for you!

E4E, I still have to get a couple of Coleus plants for the deck, maybe I can stop Thursday on the way back from Kay's. And yes, Bella Day! This is the last day of just her...next week school will be out and I will have both of them until school starts in August... He will be in 3rd grade, she will be in Kindergarten.

Puff, I have some arthritis in both of my hips, right now I am able to manage by just stopping and resting for a minute when it flares up. I didn't know you could get the injections or hip replacement for arthritis! But I admit I haven't looked into it much. Sounds like you got caught up on your sleep, that has happened to me before. Several nights of not sleeping so well, then a very good night!

tig, wow, that is a Navy family for sure! Kudos for all of them!

baz, hugs and glad for the happy memories of your cousin Earl.... he sounds like a wonderful person!

kb, that little peacock is so darn cute!

Lisa, I hope you are nearly back to normal! Those kittens missed you and I bet they have grown!

tsk, I would love to see your landscaping! I know you said it would be in full glory after 3 years, but I bet it looks good this year!

HI EVERYONE

61 heading to only 66 today sunny

TIG   What an honor for your family - 4 in the navy.  Will any make it a career?  You had a busy day yesterday.

PUFF   Well you certainly needed the sleep!!  Let's hope this injection works to keep you mobile. (((PUFF)))

EAGLES   The female monarchs will lay eggs on the milkweed plant.  They are very tiny and usually on the underside of the milkweed leaf.  If I see an egg I clip the leaf off and put the stem in water and see if the eggs open to a tiny caterpillar which in a month or so grow into a butterfly.  I've been "raising" them about 6 or 7 years now. Only started keeping records 2 years ago.

LANI   Very profitable plant fair for you  LOL  Lots to do but FUN stuff.  :)

PHYL    Those falcon chicks are SO white esp when 4 of them are piled together  ;D

CLYNN   Your AM pics are always so bright and cheery and positive.  A good way to start the day.  Thanks    Wow  " Grandma's furniture" has a lot of miles on them.  :o   So glad to hear the realtor will coordinate the rest of the project.  Yes it seems you don't have to be at closings any more - They are done on line.  I forget, where does Kay's sister live?    Today will be a special day with Bella.   :-*     Re landscaping:  Plants are certainly bigger - only had to replace one "candy cane betony" but all are looking good.  Once they bloom I'll take a pic.    Oh my gosh - Love the cat/mouse and the camera  LOL    Is the door finished on the new enclosed deck?

Good posts this am and last night!   Thanks Lani. Phyl, Clynn and tsk!

Bubba was her this morning to put my address numbers up on the house!  He also had to do something to the railing on the back steps!  While I was on the porch talking to him, a hummingbird was out trying to get necter from ageranium!   Have to getthe feeders out!   Going into the garage when the hh gal comes and look for some items.   Have to back the car out a bit to get in a cabinet.

I asked Bubbaabout adding some pegs or a little fence to the corners of the porch to holdthe nesting materials in when it is cwindy!  He said no problem, callhim when this nest is empty. A good man!

Another cloudy day but  very pleasant temps!  El Nino will change that!  You gals in MN keep your hoses out!  Bands of heat from the far south to just north of .valdosta. And then another band up from Wisconsin, MN and everyone else looks normal. In time we willseehow accurate this map was.

Clynn, enjoy some girly time with Bella!

Puff - Glad to hear you got a good night's sleep.  I hope the injections in your hip help.   

E4E - Jeff doesn't have a "bar", but he does have a lil drink station.  But, he loves the drinks at the lil restaurant where he got our food the other day.  His favorite is a Hurricane.

Lani - Sounds like you did good at the plant fair.  Aww, the pup with eye mask, too cute!

clynn - Have a great Bella day.  Sounds like you need a RELAX day! The kitties are getting big...all over 1 pound now.

Tsk - How wonderful to be raising Monarchs for all these years - you are a pro now - thank you for all you do!

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Phyl, cute updates, especially the little white fluff balls.

Clynn, happy for you that things are wrapping up at Kay's, you've all worked hard. Cute pics ... have a fun Bella Day!  ;D

Karen, Sounds like you're getting your home back in order.  :-* The Hummingbirds will love it when they see the feeder! Bubba's a keeper. It's hard to find a good and nice handyman here.

Lisa, glad you're starting to feel better.

Eagles, I'm hoping to get this batch of plants planted in the next two days.

Oldguy, sad to imagine what possibly happened  with Penny the talking cat lady.  :( ... awww Happy birthday Maru  :-* ... thanks for weather updates, I read about Guam and links.

Royal Albatross SP chick is 123 days old and weighs 8.4 kgs.
A weather change is forecasted and hopefully it will bring in a parent for chick.

Check the chick's weight: https://tinyurl.com/4dee65hp

The heaviest chick today weighed 9.5 kg

Update on Penny the talking cat...

Apparently the link I got pushed to by YouTube was not the official site, but someone that is reposting her work.  I found the official site...
https://www.youtube.com/@aymieandfamily/videos

The video was acually first posted by Aymie two months ago.  I did find one of her first Youtube videos, where she says that her daughter is doing the voice-overs of Penny.

KAREN   Where did you find Bubba - he's a keeper!!

LISA  How cool to have the Blue Angels do a practice flyover.  I love the sound  :)

OLDGUY   Maru is a very mellow 16 yr old.  Will likely live long - absorbs no stress  LOL  Why do you suppose Penny deleted the videos?   Lesley's piece was good on the red breasted nuthatch. Like the sticky sap they spread around the tree hole opening  :o   Listening to the compilation.

BAZI  Another bright greeting from your today as well  ;D

baz - Waving to ya!

Lani - Thanks, and thanks for the updates from TRR and Royal cams.

tsk - Yes, very cool that they fly over the house.  They did another practice run today, and flew over the house again.  SIL is a nanny for a family in Annapolis that lives right by Naval Academy took some pics today while she was out with the kids.  Love this one of them going over the bridge.

Clynn - hard to believe that Talon will be in 3rd grade in the fall & Bella in 'K'!!!  Wow, time goes by so quickly!   

Tsk - Our temp in the area was 66!  They say we are about 10 degrees under what is normal for this time of year!  That is so interesting what is involved in the care of helping to raise Monarchs.

LisaG - That is nice that Jeff has his lil drink station!  I understand that it would have been perfect if he could have ordered a drink with your take out meals!  I don't know what he likes - other than a good Margarita!  Hope he got what he liked when he got home!  How are you feeling sweetie?  Hope you & Jeff are having a nice relaxing evening and that the kittens & Misty are all fine!
Just read that your ear is feeling better today - that is good news!

Oldguy - Sounds like a pretty good night at cards on Sat.!  You always seems to have a fun & good evening at cards!  Will you have the memorial holiday weekend off?

Hi Baz!

Lani - Thanks for the TRR pics!  With all you have to be planted - I would think it would take the rest of the week!  Either way, take your time and enjoy. :)
Love Albatross chick pic!

Phyl - I saw on our local news about Tina Turner - I loved her so much! :-* :-*

Karen - Oh boy - warming trend starting for you - hopefully not hot! ;)

Tig - Thinking of you!

Beakers have a good night.

RIP Tina, my friend's Linda's mom died this noon too. Mike and I just returned from taking a breakfast casserole to her. Families coming in the morning to help Linda and then take her to Flagstaff to stay with family. A few of us will take care of her home while she's gone.

It's been an emotional day for me. I'm tired.. see you all tomorrow.

Good night!

Morning kb, tig and all   :D

tsk - Thanks on the pic!  If I did not have kitties to tend do, I would have liked to went and seen the Blue Angels, but I guess having them do a quick flyover the house is good enough, huh?

karen - Oh that is right...I remember seeing the BA airplanes as you go under the overpasses in Pensacola, and along the median on I-10.  All kitties are doing good.  Today is the day we go to Animal Contrrol for shots for the kitties.  This should be fun!  ;D ;D

Phyl - Thanks for the pets to all the kitties, and for the well wishes for me.  :)  Thanks for the cam pics. 

E4E - Jeff is one to give anything a try, but his favorite is rum & coke. 

Lani - So sorry to hear about Linda's moms passing. 

Lori - Good to see you.  :D

Had a rough day myself yesterday....leg/hip hurting and Chris too...

Hopefully today will be better...cool but still smokey and I'm starting to feel it...been a week or so now constant...heard it might be all summer long...smokey skies that is...Apparently Canada needs some fire fighting help...

I did open up my jacuzzi yesterday. I figured my peeper can watch me sitting on my deck so I might as well jump in the jacuzzi to help my leg..

Millions of my silver maple twirly birds dropped yesterday, just as I was closing up my jacuzzi...never happened before in 24 years...must have been the 2 year severe drought....
She looks good though....the tree that is...

Lori, there you are! Yummy looking cupcake!

Phyl, lovely sunrise on the Flyway. Saving your James Webb article for rest time later, looks interesting! You're right, GSB big cotton ball this morning! Love the color pics of Two Harbors, and finally I can see the grackle babies!

Lani, prayers for Linda's family, you are always so kind to help those who need a little extra in difficult times...

Almost forgot Bella Pictures, for some reason my mind was thinking it was Friday and Thursday was over! We watered every plant outside, she loves doing that, and I forgot to take my phone to take pictures! We went to the park, lots of kids there! She saw all of the boxes of beads from Kays so we picked out some for her to keep.

tsk, love the ice cream cone! 59 here, high 80 with low humidity. Mix of clouds and sun. Now that the old shed is gone I am going to plant the milkweed seeds back there! Should be very good dirt that was under the shed.

E4E, I often wonder where the times goes, seems like Bella was a baby just a couple of months ago, and I have been retired for nearly 5 years!

T40, thanks for the 'Proud Mary' video. I always remember, when Ed and I were talking with Father Steffen about our upcoming wedding, he said we could have any appropriate music, but not something like 'What's Love Got to Do With It', which was a #1 song at the time. 1984.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGpFcHTxjZs

karen, I need to get my hummingbird feeders out, haven't done it yet because of the deck work!

kb, awwww, that baby ellie!

tig, have a fun laundry day...

Lisa, Jeff and I could sit and drink rum & coke and just watch the kitties play! I so remember the sounds of aircraft as a child, living on Air Force bases until I was 18, I would love to hear them right now!

Clynn... Very pretty. ... and rum and anything, or anything and anything for me. Luckily it is few and far between. Lol.
In my teens we had a free standing screen house with retractable blinds. Very enjoyable. Mom and I would sleep out there on hot nights (B4 we had A/C).

Tig - I did a load of laundry yesterday - your turn today Lol!

LisaG - My hubby would agree with Jeff's favorite of Rum & Coke!   Good luck in taking the kittys in today for shots! Will you guys take Misty for the ride too, or leave her at home?

Clynn - Love the Bella pics - another fun day!!  Nice that Bella got to choose some beads from the 'collection'  :)   I love your deck - if I had that, I would be out there all the time! ;D   I remember when you retired - hard to believe it has been nearly 5 years and that already, Bella will be a big Kindergartener soon!! :o :)


Happy Birthday Ssrl - enjoy your special day!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


Lisa, so glad you're feeling so much better!  Rum and coke was the popular mixed drink of choice during my college years.  Not a legal beverage for us then, but popular.  ;D  Wish I could be there to help you and Jeff herd the kitties to and from the AC/vet today... have fun!  Hugs, and understanding tiny meows, to them for getting their shots.  :-*

Karen, yay for Bubba!

((Lani)), take care. I'm sorry about Linda's mom. Hugs.

T40, I love Tina's "Rolling On the River." RIP Tina.

OG, thanks for the info re. Penny videos.

Clynn, what a great day for you and Bella at the park yesterday! I love those dappled sun and shadows under the trees. Bella is such a happy girl.  :-*  Your screened in deck - I'm calling it your screened porch now - looks so inviting. Great pics!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SSRL! I hope you have a fun day with many happy surprises and treats!  :D

kb - So funny you call them twirly birds....we call them helicopters. Ours have already fallen from our silver maple. 

clynn - Great pics from Bella day!  Jeff said, he would love to do that.  I love that enclosed deck!  Cute lil wind chimes. 

E4E - We took Misty with us to Animal Control, as she was getting a lil freaked out when she saw us putting the kittens in the carrier. 

baz - Thank you.  The kittens did good with their first shot. 

The girls at Animal Control loved the names that we picked out for the kittens.  The adoption coordinator said, we need to get on the ball and get the to start eating food, and using the litter box.  We have one that eats good out the bowl, and one that uses the litter box, not the same kitty.  We also did find out today, that they won't take them till ALL are over 2 pounds!  So, even at 8 weeks old, if they are not ALL 2 pounds they might still be here with us.

KB   Awww  cute baby ellie and mamas  :D  Elephants are so cool.

CLYNN  Love that 3rd serious pic of Bella  ;)   That is a beautiful deck!!!!  Love the no maintenance hosta that outline it.  The door side faces what direction?   LOL on the Fr Steffan story.  Gotta keep it all holy  LOL

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Phyl, interesting article on spicy foods... nice pics of Two Harbors, GSB babies..... awesome news of Saturn's moon... 

{{{Eagles}}} Yesterday morning I fertilized, mulched and planted 3 tomato plants in their barrels, fertilized Bandit's strawberry box, added new flowers to the perennial boxes, fertilized and added new soil to rose and herb box. I'm going to do the soaker hoses on the front today (Kb  ;D ) and spray paint 5 flower boxes.  ;D it'll be a good day.

Lori, Kb, cute birthday posts for ssrl!

Tsk, Linda's mom is the 95 year old we went to see this past Saturday.... Linda and I shared registration duties for the convention two weeks ago. I'm in awe of Linda and how she was able to handle the care of her mom and working the convention at the same time, which was two weeks ago today.

{{{Tig}}} I hope your arm is better... laundry day, I'm doing some too. Mike remembers many summer nights spent on their sleeping porch too.

{{{Lisa}}} glad you're feeling better. Prayers for the kitties when they get their shots and checkup today. That's one thing I could never watch, I'd close my eyes and turn away when my girls and pets got their shots. UGH I hate needles. ... oops, I just read kitties all did well... and they need to eat out of a bowl and use litter box. I guess it's time for them to spend more time watching mom and Bandit.

{{{Kb and Chris}}} I love what one of the Twitters posted in reply to the Ellies video "Elephants created a wall of power around their children. Respect!" Just inspiring  :-*
glad you were able to enjoy your jacuzzi, I hope it helped your leg.  ;D

Clynn, sweet Miss Bella is very grownup, love today's pics, darling dress, cute little playhouse and yummy lunch! .... love, love, love your deck and the gorgeous plants surrounding it. The cats will love being out there too. Enjoy your rum and coke.

Whew,
Walked Ollie, vacuumed inside, mowed, weed whipped, blew and watered all in the front....I have grass seed to water where they removed my boulevard tree and other areas damaged by the plow and snow..

Lani - let me know how those soaker hoses work out.

It's cool enough today to try and get as much possible done outside.

Tomorrow the heat starts and need to do all above in the back..

Lisa - I have never had twirly birds fly before!....evah...I have enough trouble with ash tree seeds and my front maple tree pods....
how many days does it take?....to be done dropping those twirly birds? I'm going to have to bag the grass tomorrow which I hate to do with natural grass seed growing out there.

Post by: LisaG1967 on May 25, 2023, 02:51:18 PM

tsk - I wish we had taken a pic, but I had Misty and all 7 kittens in the carrier.  The kittens were like climbing up with sides of the carrier, on top of Misty's head.....it was kinda funny!  Poor Misty.  To get them to use the litter box you have to stimulate them to eliminate.  They told me to wet a cotton ball and gently rub on that area and they should go.

Lani - One of the tabby's, I have eating out of the bowl, but the rest of them....I rub the food on their mouth and they are like.....BLAHHHHH this is yuck!

karen - Good luck with PT!

kb - Wow, we always have the twirly birds for at least a week or two.  Jeff hates them, cause they get in the gutters and clog them up.

I got hungry, so I fixed a late lunch today. I flash sauteed a chunk of pretty oyster mushrooms in EVOO, and wilted fresh baby bok choy in the same pan. Then I turned that into a wide, shallow bowl and drizzled it all with the vinaigrette dressing I made today from EVOO, Balsamic vinegar, and herbs . Then I topped all that with a half dozen hot shrimp tempura, with a side of Thai chili sauce for dipping. Washed it down with a glash of chardonnay. Mmmmm... Oh yeah, I also cut a slice of cinnamon Danish pastry for dessert.  ;)  It's not Friday, you say?  Hmmm, sure tasted like it!  ;D

Now a light, off-and-on rain is making me sleepy...

Have a good evening, Beakers.  :)

LISA   How interesting is that!  I suppose you do that wiping as you place them in the box individually?

BAZI  You are a very creative cook.  Did you eat that on the porch?

SSRL    LOL  I'm also intrigued by the labeling on bottles - You'll have to let us know how that one was.  ;) ;)

Off to see the younger sister of my "Broadway bound" great niece in a play at her school.  4th grade  ;) ;)

Tig, lemon cake. Yum!  :D

TSK, hope your visit with the spine doc goes well.  How was the play? Thespian pursuits run in your family! My lunch was just a mushroom and greens salad with shrimp on top.  ;)  I ate inside - we had blustery winds gusting 25-30mph all day (and still), and the clouds were starting to sputter while I was cooking. We're in for higher winds, and 4 or more inches of rain this weekend, thanks to another coastal low, similar to the one we had recently that dumped 5-10 inches of rain in my area.

SSRL, how did you like Snoop's Cali Gold sparkling wine from 19 Crimes? Festive!


Goodnight, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Lani, I would love to see some pictures of your flowers! Do you have perennials along with annuals? I haven't had much luck with perennials, except for hostas. And you can't killl them easily...  ::)  Love the cat in the comfy cat bed! I got one similar to that one for Honey but she would have nothing to do with it! I let both of them out on the deck this morning, they were so cautious! A couple of times they ran back into the house!

tsk, has it been 12 weeks since your surgery? Dang, where does time go? I also hope this is your last visit! You have done well, taking it slow and easy, and now it pays off!

baz, hoping you don't get flooded again! I love nodding off listening to a soft rain, maybe I can now do that on my deck... You sure do have some gourmet meals!

Lisa, I am picturing you and Jeff getting Misty and her 7 babies in the carrier! ;D ;D  Twirly birds, are they the same as whirly birds? Those annoying things that come from maple trees in the spring? They seem to get stuck everywhere, and if the timing is right with a lot of rain after they fall, there will be thousands of tiny maple trees sprouting from the ground!

H and H will love being out there too.  Tks for the Osprey update

{{{Lisa}}} glad you're feeling better.  So glad the kittens did well. Guess it's time to eat out of a bowl and use litter box. Spending more time watching mom and Bandit wil help with that as well as a few 'trick's the vet has prescribed.  All 7 at 2 lbs.   before adopting out---makes sense

baz - Your late lunch sounded delicious. 

ssrl - Does 19 Crimes still have the app you can download, where the person on the bottle talks?

tsk - Yes, wipe and place in litter box.  A couple have caught on to using the box, some still need help.  Hope you enjoyed the play last night, and good luck at doctors.

tig - Hope you enjoyed Portillo's and dessert. 

E4E - Thank you.  :)

Lani - Thanks  :)  I see clynn posted a pic of the twirly birds. Did you get all your planting done?

clynn - Pretty morning pic.  I really wish we would have taken a pic, it was funny of all of them in the carrier.  Yep. those are the twirly birds. 

Phyl - Pretty morning pic.  I am glad I am feeling better, too.   I hope the kitties catch on to the eating part.  That seems to be the hardest part of this fostering so far.

Maybe not so cold this morning. As the 'cottonballs' aren"t so huddled. At any rate that sunshine will warm them right up.

Hi Lisa not sure if the food  is just place infront of them or what. But, I know sometimes,  a gentle push to get a tad bit of food on the nose will get
them to lick it off---and think, "Oh. That's tasty." then they'll eat.  It works for me with mine anyway.  Pets, from me , to the kittens and mom and uncle Bandit.
Good thing I'm not there..I'd be playing with them constantly.  ;D

Phyl, great pic from Ginger of the baby grackles in the Decorah nest, especially fun seeing one with food in its beak! Thanks for sharing it in the Beak! Those GSB babies are growing and getting warmed by the sun! I would be happy to spend all day playing with Lisa's kittens too!

Lisa, thanks for the coffee and doughnut! I never did that with the kittens we had, Momma cat must have taken care of it...  ;D They just seemed to go to the litter box by instinct.

Doing yoga while asleep, LOL.

Morning all...Happy Friday...going to get hot here..

I haven't gotten inside my jacuzzi yet.....It takes a whole day and night to get it ready.
Remove all the heavy plastic inside and lighter plastic outside......Remove all the anti-freeze....filling it half way and draining it while gentle washing tub....then filling it all the way (takes hours of watching)....Cover back on and heat up for more than 8 hours...Needed Chris' help to lift heavy cover off the ground and up.

check the next day, all good.101-102 degrees and maintenance pump moving water to filter on and off.

I used a large ice pack on my leg which helped instead.
Have to mow my hill today though and that may aggravate so I will now have choice between jacuzzi or ice.

My twirly birds are only because of a 2 year severe drought....my tree looks healthy and fine but they are a pain and can fly all the way up my steep hill into my gutters/decks etc...just extra work to keep them from sprouting everywhere this year.

Lani -no I don't use a timer on my soaker hoses but sure sounds like a great idea!...it is low flow though on purpose...I leave them on for 2 hours or so..

Big smile for Rocky and Dad.  What a glorious story!!!!  Pleasant way to start the day.

Just waiting for 60 degrees or 8 a.m. to get a start on the outside. Did my sched/mandated days of rest.  Now it's boogie boogie time.  First on the list is the sprinkler system - had it all these years now that I really need it and they seem to be overbooked.  No rain here for weeks.

GOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE

45   Brr  heading to 67 later this afternoon  Sunny

TIG   I love Portillos chopped salad.  ;D

BAZI  You are in a spell of some very damp weather.  :o  And we haven't had a drop of rain!!!   My great niece played "Robin Hood".  a 20 minute spoof as they were all birds trying to get to birdseed that was held captive.  The second play was another 20 min one a spoof on Snow White and her "merry entrepeneurs"  LOL   Don't remember having anything like theater in my 4th grade experience.

LANI   What a cozy bed for the good night kitty - matching color as well.  ;)

CLYNN   LOL  I wondered what their first experience on the porch would be like.  Baby steps.  They have to get their smell all over it. We used to call the maple seeds "helicopters" as someone else mentioned.   How nice of those raven neighbors to help out Rosie .  Pretty persistent.

KB   Cute dreaming kitty  ;D

some bounce
Arm almost looked healed over last night. Thanx
Yesterday, while taking the second load from the dryer, I discovered a live wasp! When I told Camper he informed me he vacuumed a dead "bee" from the living room days ago. !!  We inspected and cleaned the dryer vent outside. I'm hoping it was a one off. Talons crossed.
I like the Maxwell Street sausage at Portillos.
Mow and sprinkle and finish packing day.  :o

Big customer here too of Portillo's chopped salad.  Ton knew Dick from the 1960s-70s; Ton was a local teamster truck driver  - they all hung at the "Dog House" as Chgo drivers were born to do.

Wish us luck tsk - made it up to 66 by me.  I'm gone!

Birthday is over and now time to get back to work!

Tsk, Baz and Lani - the 19 Crimes was a little too sweet for my taste, not as sweet as Asti Spumante, but not as dry as I like my Sparkling wines.

Lisa - I did not know about the 19 Crimes app.  That sounds fun.  I have tried 3 different 19 Crimes, two red and this sparkling.  I liked the red blends very much.

Enjoy the day Beakers, it's gorgeous here and I'm heading outside.  :)

TGIF Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Clynn, I have mainly perennials growing. Purple cones, Indian blanket, Coreopsis, Lavender, lemon mint, peppermint, zinnas, etc...  This is the third summer and they are really doing well after a long winter. Now, I'm just waiting for blooms and post pics then... we had maple trees in Kansas, now I see what you call twirly birds. We called them "helicopters".  We had them too, what a pain they were, also plugged up our pool, along with the cottonwood seeds.... sweet pics of Murphy/Rocky, great story  ;D  ... Finally, a name for M15! Bless him, he did fantastic job this year! I bet he will return and wait for Harriet or have another mate. Hopefully, not the pushy ones that have been hanging about.

ssrl, I don't like sweet wines, I like mine light and dry.... Have you tried this La Marca Prosecco Sparkling Wine it's cheaper at Trader Joe.

{{{Lisa}}} I hope you're feeling better each day.... I've watch Friends of Feline rescue center for years, they have their kittens just follow mom and other cats in learning. They are not in a rush to separate kittens from mom like AC seems to be. You and Jeff are doing what is best for all concerned. bless you both.

Kb, Okay, I set my soakers on a timer, so far the first 50 feet is doing well the last 25 doesn't seem to get much water out. I'm working on it...  love the yoga video!  ;D ... take care.  :)

Puff   Let's Boogie  8)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft99FKKsqqE

tig - You sounds have a busy day planned.

Puff - I need to find a Portillo's on my way to Decorah.  I hear you all talking about it, and looked at menu....looks good.

Lani - Thank you....I am feeling so much better!  I can't wait to see the pics of all your flowers, sounds so pretty.

HAPPY FRIDAY, BEAKERS!  :)


Lisa, OMG! Look at that sweetie, Piper!! Too cute!!!  :-* :-* :-*  Jeff is having a "Take Your Kitten to Work Day!"  ;)  P.S. That pic of Piper is sooo sweet! and would get him adopted "on the spot." Wonder if they could be adopted, but then left in foster care with you and Jeff till they are 10-12 weeks old - but "reserved," so to speak.  Just a thought... don't know if that could work, or if you and Jeff could foster them that long...  I'm just "thinking out loud."  ;) :)  (((Hugs to you and Jeff))) for being such an awesome Foster Family to Misty's little kitties!!  :-* :-*

Clynn, M15 - I think of him as The Mighty M!  What a guy!!  :-* :-*  I want to name him, High and Mighty!!   :D :-* :-*  ... 'cause he is!!  ;) :D  I bet Honey and Harley may be having a little bit of "whoa!" up-close sensory overload out there at first, but I bet they will be hardcore enclosed deck kitties very soon!   :-*  LOL on Rosie and Richmond and the wascally wascal raccoon on the crane!  Sorry, Rocky!  ;)  Murphy, with his "little" Rocky.. awww... and AWESOME!  :-* :-* :-*

Lani, I love your mix of perennials!!  I know they must be so pretty.

Tig, when do you leave for the fishing trip?  Sounds like your arm will be all healed just in time.

Phyl, LOL, the grackle babies are "all mouth."  ;) :-* :-*

Waving to TSK, E4E, Puff, KB, T40, Lori, BL, OG, SSRL, and All the Beakers!  :)

Hi Beakers!

Lani - No special plans for the weekend, but I will have my Mom & sis over here on Monday for a bbq! 

Clynn - Looks like it might take a little while for Honey & Harley to get used to the new screened deck!  If they keep seeing you out there, they will want to follow! ;D    Great vid of SF Ospreys vs Racoon!!

Phyl - Like your Friday gif this morning.  Great nest pics as always. :)

Kb - It sure takes some time & energy to keep a jacuzzi nice & clean.  We used to have one, but hubby had to remove it back in 2006 so that we could remodel & add on to our house.   Hope your leg is feeling better.  They are really nice to have tho - I miss ours!
Loved the vid of K-9s graduation - very special - thank you for posting link!

Puff - Hope you don't have too many problems in getting your sprinkler system going again - boogie boogie time! Lol  ;D

Tsk - Sounds like a good time was had in going to your Great niece's Play!  I bet she was so happy you guys were there.  :)

Tig - I hope you don't find anymore wasps! :o ::)   Sounds like a busy day, but have fun packing!

Ssrl - Enjoy your day outdoors! :)

LisaG - Glad you are feeling much better.   Sweet pic of Piper! ;D

Baz - Love your Friday 'post' - so happy!

Beakers have a nice day  :)

PUFF  About ready to do out and do the edging after the AM of doc visit, and setting up Pentecost colors/flowers for church this weekend.  There were 2 of us so only took 90 minutes.

KB   Great video!!  Nils and Bianca good too.

LANI   Good response to the K9 graduation  LOLOL  Love watching the oldies boogie   ;D ;D ;D

LISA   that close-up of Piper is beautiful

BAZI   I like Hugh and Mighty  ;) ;)

All these "swing" pros make for nostalgic memories especially of my Dad.  He and Mom had won many a contest while dating.  My own experience would happen at wedding receptions where they were invited and me, too.  The first couple of notes  for "In The Mood" and we'd be looking for each other.  He always shared that one with me.  Can feel that tight, snug grip even now just talking about it.   :'(

Yes we did share a bottle....ssrl.

Oldguy - thanks for that Prince break-down of "When doves cry." I do love reading/hearing from others about the meanings/context for musical icons' songs..the lack of bass on it was very interesting.

Interestingly, when I first moved back home to MN I worked out of a clinic in Wayzata, MN as a Chiropractor. The Saturday secretary in that clinic worked the rest of the week in Prince's studio...so of course I heard lots of stories, ie. who was coming to his studio etc...this was in 1990...

Later in my own clinic I had a patient who was a life long friend of his mother, Mattie..My patient wanted me to treat Prince..Unfortunately, if I recall Mattie died around that time and I never heard back.

The rest is history as they say...

I recognize his genius, and love his songs...but I still prefer the musicians from the 50's,60's and 70's...too many to mention...

Jim got the 'tops of ours and Sadia's mowed and edged. I guess tomorrow he'll finish with the hilly back.
And,  prob next week after work he'll trudge down the hill to our willow and trim up the shrubs and stray branch off
 the redbud tree and clear out the under growth around it.
Did a rewrite of Chapts 6 and 11. Still not happy so will wait a few days and work on it again.
Take out  for dinnner.

Lisa, I am here and okay!    That kittle Piper is just a precocious doll!  Love her emerging personality! A very curious kitty!
I thinkMisty will take care of getting the babied to eat by refusing to let them nurse!   Liter box, Idnk!
Pt is going very well and it is quite different than at the home!  Focus is on balancr and muscle strengthening!
Tsk, I thought you would do your own pt!  June is just a few days away!
Baz does throw together some delicious gourmet sounding dished!
Lisa, many acs give unneutered kittens  to adopters conditional on family having them to be neutered or returning them for same.  They are too young for that!
Thanks for the message from swfl. Clynn!

Hh worker had me going today!  She is a real worker, insider and out so I thank all for wonderful conversations  and Lani. I do look forward to pictured

Karen, great report on all your doings - your new PT sounds excellent, and a good and busy day with your HH person. You've come a long way! Yay!! Way to go!!  :)

Lisa, Piper is so cute - and sounds like she(?) is ahead of the pack. Is Bandit "okay" with Piper going to work with Jeff? I know Bandit likes to keep Jeff company at his work-at-home office.  I know your place is really hopping.  :D

TSK, shoot on having to wait a month for your fav PT. At least you know how to take advantage of that time waiting for her. What a fun "take" on the two plays for the 4th Graders. Did your great niece have fun being in it? Was that her first acting performance for an audience?  Does her older sister have any summer theatre plans in the works?

Phyl, I love that "all mouth" baby bird stage. Such tiny bodies holding up those gaping mouths.  :D

OG, I hope your working weekend goes quickly, and you get some relaxing downtime mixed in.

Lani and SSRL, I find some great wine selections and prices at Trader Joe's, too, and I think they have some of the better prices for their selection of specialty cheeses, too... waaay better prices for the quality than at my regular grocery store's cheese shop.

E4E, I hope you have good weather for your family BBQ this weekend.  :)

Sending good night wishes to All the Beakers. Peace. SED.

What a beautiful day yesterday! Harley and Honey spent more time on the deck yesterday, I think they will love it! Dianna and I got all of the clothes at Kays into the dumpster, we are done until Debbie gets here, then we will be there some while she's here. Erin's birthday is coming up, they are going to be on a cruise on his birthday, and Sydney's sister Skyler is getting married on 6/2. so we are having Erin's birthday dinner this evening. He asked for bacon cheeseburgers, so that is what we will have, and I always make an ice cream Turtle Pie for his 'cake'. And we will eat on the deck!

Phyl, cute smart cat!  https://youtu.be/qzNDYy7gpkA   Love the Custodians of the Froot!

Lani, I bet people are flocking to Payson and the surrounding area for the first summer holiday, and I bet you all are laying low... and having a good weekend...

karen, sounds like you have a great home helper, she will keep you on your toes! Just try to keep up with her! ;D ;D How are all your new plants doing?  Things are sounding good, being home is doing you much more good than being in that other place, and I bet you hardly miss the call button now...

kb, flag time!

Lisa, what a cutie pie Piper is! I know they are all just as cute, get all their portraits done soon! Are you back to 'normal' yet? I sure hope so!

tsk, I have a feeling you will be doing some of your own PT while you wait...

oldguy, thanks for all of the goodies, still watching...  Yes, we have four Jethro's here,  Jethro's BBQ, Jethro's BBQ & Bacon, Jethro's BBQ & Pork Chop Grill and Jethro & Jakes Smokehouse Steaks!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

53 heading to 73 and sunny

PHYL  So you are working on your book again.  Cat outsmarting the dog  LOL

KAREN  Because I never dealt with spinal fusions in my PT experience I wanted a PT who does that type of rehab all the time to give me the dos and don'ts.  I'm not sure how much range of motion I'm allowed in my low back.   Love the approach your PT is using - At our age balance is key.   Yay for your little house finches  :)

BAZI   Yes my great niece enjoyed the first acting experience but not as passionate as her sister who for the summer be helping out at the theater company she just left   ;D  There is a musical group at her new high school she will join and in the spring they put on a musical theater production which will be "Mean Girls" which she will participate in.  She's never done non musical theater as yet.  Her sister doesn't like to sing so if she continues it would not be a musical.

BL  Safe trip home - Backroads are always better and more fun if you can do it.

CLYNN   Too bad the clothes couldn't be donated to an organization that recycles them into rags or the like.  We have a bin like that in our church parking lot for clothes that can't be donated.  But the worst of your job is done - YAY

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: clynndunn on May 27, 2023, 08:20:14 AM

tsk, I wish we could have donated the clothes as well, but we would have had to wash/dry clean them all and there was just too much for two old ladies to handle, plus most of them had an odor and were covered in cat hair... we did donate a lot of stuff, including some clothes that still had tags on, that she had purchased recently.  Everything in the spare room closet smelled of cat (she had 5 cats at one time, only 2 when she fell 3 years ago), and there were bug droppings in two containers of Winnie the Pooh stuffed things. I hated to throw all that out but ... There was the box of Hallmark Pooh Christmas ornaments that Ed got at DAV and gave to her, we are donating them as they are all in boxes. I have never seen a place that takes clothes too bad to donate! Very interesting info on your nieces, are either of the parents into theater?

Taking that leap of faith jump!...to the delight of all the onlookers as well.

Been up outside watering already and soon to take that walk with Ollie.

Sis told me yesterday there is some thought once again that we might suffer from a summer drought once again!...guess it's good for something, LOL, we got that historic snowfall last winter.

Yes, I plant stuff that can't be destroyed by snowfall in that corner....however, one of several hosta looks at thi moment to be on the fritz?....my roses are 2 feet shorter than they should be, due to rabbits not snow, but starting to bud out....

When more in bloom in my front gardens I'll post pics.

My arborist told me to tie together my 7 splayed arborvitae (from the April 1 megastorm plus ice) would cost me 750 bucks and if it were him he wouldn't do it....as they are getting thin from multiples of years of life, rabbits, and storms...he rather suggested a landscaper to take down and replace....which he said they would totally destroy my whole boulevard and much of my garden.......so, I will leave them be...
I wouldn't have bought my house without them as they once blocked my total view of the apartment building parking lot....
I may get a second opinion from another arborist who gave me his card, and/or see if Andrew wants to get on a ladder and tie some together with my sister's old business panty hose, LOL

Both Aly and Mike have left early to get things done in town, and we've already walked the dogs. Since there are no fire restrictions this Memorial Weekend, it's crazy with campers up here. Love the owl/owlet... sweet DH2!

{{{Tsk}}}

Kb, I enjoyed hearing the onlookers reaction as much as the goslings jump!  :-* ... good luck with your decision.  :)

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/85/27/44/8527441fbd93d3df2bb796eca6dea70b.jpg)

I am late this morning!  I went grocery shopping early, and then just got done trying to get these kittens to eat.  Piper and Daisy have seemed to get the hang of it....Angus a lil, too.  But, the other 4 says...no way!  Piper has done business in the litter box, so that is a plus, too!

Lani - Thanks for keeping up with Peep's favorite cams.  I appreciate it.  :-*  LOL, the Cat Proverbs!  Is this the last weekend with Aly, or do you have another weekend with her? 

kb - It amazes me that the gosling jump with no fear. 

tsk - Balance is something I have to work on too, per rheumatologist at my last Fibromyalgia visit.  He suggested some YouTube videos called Young Again.  When I told my mom about it, she was like..those are great!  She has done some.  Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies.  I bet your great niece will enjoy doing the play.

clynn - Where will Erin & Sydney be cruising?  Yummy birthday dinner for Erin. Yes, I am feeling ALOT better now. "My husband bought our cat his own couch" ;D ;D

Phyl - Oh, too cute...Custodians of the 'froot'.  ;D

baz - Bandit doesn't seem to mind the kitties. 

karen - I thought you would like that pic of Piper.   :D

How America’s most endangered cat could help save Florida
Once nearly extinct, the Florida panther is expanding its range. Protecting wildlife corridors could save the cat—and humans—from sprawl.

BYDOUGLAS MAIN
PHOTOGRAPHS BYCARLTON WARD JR.
20 MIN READ

“Welcome to panther country,” Brian Kelly says when I meet him at a busy intersection in East Naples, Florida, a stone’s throw from a gas station and an urgent care center. 
Kelly, a state panther biologist, points east into the sprawling subdivision where he lives. A panther was caught on camera just a quarter mile away, he says, and another one made it across the six-lane road we’re standing beside.

Yet another panther, an eight-year-old female named FP224, lives nearby. She’s been hit by a car twice, breaking a leg each time. She was treated by veterinarians and released after both accidents. To look for signs of her, we drive to Kelly’s house, next to a patch of forest where she recently denned and birthed at least three kittens. It’s the wet season, when panther tracks typically are wiped out by rain, but we get lucky.

“There she is,” Kelly says, pointing to large paw prints, about the size of my fist, in the soft sand. We follow the prints through tall pines and sabal palms festooned with air plants. A check of a motion-triggered camera trap Kelly placed there reveals that FP224 walked by just before 9 p.m., two evenings earlier.


Her tracks are thrilling to see—a reminder that Florida still has wilderness and large cats, some of them resilient enough to live unseen along the fringes of the expanding suburbs.

Most Floridians will never see any signs of these predators, which weigh from 65 to 165 pounds as adults, depending on sex, and can leap more than 10 yards in a single bound. But the panther—known to the Cherokee as “lord of the forest”—depends on the millions of acres of swamps, forests, and fields in southwestern and central Florida, many of which are at imminent risk of development.

The Florida panther, classified as a subspecies of mountain lion, or cougar, once ranged throughout most of the southeastern United States. But the animals were hunted aggressively, and by the 1970s they were only found in Florida, and their numbers had fallen to fewer than 30, making them highly vulnerable to inbreeding. They were within a whisker of going extinct, says Kelly, a slim man often adorned in clothes bearing the insignia of his employer, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Scientists back then hatched an unprecedented rescue plan: In the mid-1990s they hired Texan Roy McBride, arguably the world’s best mountain lion tracker, to capture eight of the cats in Texas, all females, then release them into South Florida. Five of them bred, and this infusion of genetic diversity reversed the panther’s downward spiral.

Populations grew slowly, and now there are about 200 individuals, most of them in a massive stretch of contiguous land south of the Caloosahatchee River, which stretches east from Fort Myers. “It’s one of the most dramatic conservation success stories in U.S. history,” says Carlton Ward, Jr., a conservationist and photographer whose work is supported by the National Geographic Society.


But a variety of threats cloud the panther’s future, including car collisions and panther-on-panther territorial spats, the two leading causes of death. About 25 of the cats are killed by vehicles each year, a reflection of how development and road construction threaten the species at a time when roughly 900 people are moving to Florida every day.

Additionally, a new debilitating neurological condition with an unknown cause has afflicted more than a dozen panthers, alarming conservationists.

There is also good news, however: Panthers are reclaiming some of their old territory. In 2016 scientists spotted a female north of the Caloosahatchee River for the first time since 1973.


“That was a milestone,” wildlife biologist Jennifer Korn says of the sighting in the Babcock Ranch Preserve. Unlike males, females don’t travel far from their mother’s home range, a major limiting factor in the animal’s expansion.

About a couple dozen panthers now live north of the Caloosahatchee, Kelly estimates, including a few females.

The northward expansion is necessary for panthers to survive long term, but it’s possible only if the Florida Wildlife Corridor, a patchwork of public and private lands that runs throughout the state, is preserved, Ward says. To make that possible, more conservation funding is needed to help landowners, mainly ranchers, prevent open spaces from becoming subdivisions, parking lots, and roads.

At the center of the panther’s northward recovery is a landscape known as the Everglades headwaters, part of the watershed that supplies nearly 10 million Floridians. Some of the water that originates here reaches swamps to the south, and investments in protecting this area will help the Everglades as well, conservationists say.

Many of the cats in Florida live on public lands, including Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, and Picayune Strand State Forest, which make up about 1,420 square miles.

But these and nearby protected areas in South Florida cannot support a much larger population of these territorial animals, says state panther biologist Dave Onorato. Panthers may each need up to 200 square miles of territory in which to roam and hunt, he says. At the same time, populations of white-tailed deer, one of panthers’ primary food sources, have dropped in areas of Big Cypress. That may be partly because of invasive Burmese pythons, which devour deer and other panther prey.

As panthers strike out north of the Caloosahatchee River, they’ll encounter land dominated by large ranches and farms. Roads cut through many of these areas, and the region is dotted with small, often expanding towns. One of the better-known cattle operations in south-central Florida is the 10,500-acre Buck Island Ranch, run by Gene Lollis, a sixth-generation Floridian.

How America’s most endangered cat could help save Florida  Continued.

On a March morning before sunrise, I head out on horseback with Lollis, who’s wearing a cowboy hat, boots, and blue jeans, along with his son, Laurent, and a group of cowboys, to round up cattle in grasslands spotted with islands of cabbage palm and oak.

Like many ranches, Buck Island—owned by the Archbold Biological Station, a nearby ecological research and education facility—provides critical habitat for wildlife, including panthers.

As dogs bay and the cowboys corral their livestock, I ask Lollis, who leads the Florida Cattlemen’s Association, how ranchers view the panther. “We’re all pretty positive about them,” he says. “They’re part of the landscape.”

Generally speaking, the rancher and the panther face a common enemy: development, particularly new housing. Every ranch owner has had an offer from developers, Lollis says, adding that the issue is deeply personal—ranches near Orlando where he worked as a young man have become subdivisions.

Some see the panthers’ presence as a positive because it makes developing certain areas of land into suburbs more difficult.

“On the Endangered Species Act, do you see ‘cowboy’ or ‘rancher’ written on it? No, but we benefit from the protections afforded the panther,” says Elton Langford, a rancher who lives to the west, near Arcadia.

But some ranchers, especially to the south, where there are more panthers, are warier, says Alex Johns, a Seminole cattleman whose family has ranched since his ancestors poached cows from the Spanish in the 1500s.

In this region, panthers occasionally eat calves. A study conducted at one ranch found panthers kill less than one percent of calves; another study found the predators killed around 5 percent.

Panthers sometimes are blamed for kills by coyotes, bears, and even buzzards, says Deborah Jansen, a Big Cypress National Preserve panther biologist who’s worked with the felines since the early 1980s.

Calf loss can stir resentment and even lead to retaliation, cattleman Johns says. Making matters worse, the federal program that compensates ranchers for livestock losses because of panthers is flawed, he adds, describing a process in which the paperwork is difficult and time-consuming, and reimbursement often is not granted.

David Shindle, panther coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, agrees that the reimbursement program needs improvement, and he sees the two sides as allies. “To save the panther, we have to save the rancher,” he says.

Panther advocates, Shindle adds, need to find a way to incentivize the presence of the animals on the land—which is mostly private north of the Caloosahatchee River. One way to do that is to encourage public and private investment in conservation easements, which buy up development rights while allowing the owners to continue farming and ranching.

A more immediate danger to panthers, conservationists say, is a proposed major network of toll roads known as M-CORES. Part of it would cut a 140-mile path from near Orlando to Naples.

Staunchly opposed by conservationists and many ranchers, this section of the road would slice through areas of the wildlife corridor and some of the last undeveloped parts of interior southwestern Florida.

On top of this, scientists have discovered a neurological condition called feline leukomyelopathy, which affects panthers and bobcats in Florida. Affected animals often stumble or have trouble walking, and severe cases can lead to paralysis, starvation, and death.

As of December 2020, 26 bobcats and 18 panthers are thought to have had the disease, according to state biologists. Three panthers have likely died from it in Big Cypress alone, Jansen says. The syndrome’s cause is unknown, but theories include exposure to toxic chemicals or a pathogen such as a virus.

Most animals with the disease have been found in areas bordering developed land; seeing cases in more pristine areas, such as Big Cypress, is concerning, Jansen says.

Because of the threats panthers face, Jansen thinks “the future of the Florida panther is very much in question”—and is a major reason why expanding the cat’s habitat is key.

Kelly is more optimistic. If enough green spaces and wildlife corridor areas are protected, he says, panthers could make it all the way to northern Florida within decades, and potentially spread to other states with rich panther habitat, including Georgia. In 2008 a male panther born near the Everglades made it to western Georgia, about a hundred miles north of the Florida state line, before being shot by a deer hunter.
In the meantime, Kelly and colleagues have placed around a hundred cameras at various spots north of the Caloosahatchee to learn more about how and where panthers move. A female recently lumbered through the Fisheating Creek area, as well as another in Babcock, and both were seen with males. That’s cause for celebration, Kelly says, because coupled panthers often produce kittens.

On a fall afternoon I walk with Kelly through muddy, dense brush to the edge of a creek in Babcock Ranch Preserve. Pointing to a tangle of sabal palms, he recalls seeing a panther here a month before.

“We just stared at each other for about 20 minutes,” says Kelly, who quickly realized it was a female by her small size and because she was wailing, a sign of being in heat.

That was momentous—the first verified in-person sighting of a panther north of the Caloosahatchee River since the cougar tracker, Roy McBride, found an old female at Fisheating Creek in 1973.

This newfound female was “my white whale,” Kelly says.

Later we take a swamp buggy through this area, 20 miles to the north, crossing flooded fields and meandering through thickets of palmetto and cypress hammocks. Wildlife here is plentiful: On a good day you can see bears, otters, alligators, and bird species including crested caracaras and swallow-tailed kites, all of which rely on the same wildlands as panthers.

Kelly stops to check a recently placed camera, looped around an oak tree. He flips through the photos, and sandwiched within all the usual suspects—coyotes, wild pigs, raccoons, deer—is a photo of a panther, which passed by a few weeks earlier.

And not just any panther: A lanky female, never before spotted by biologists, striding along the northern side of the fence separating the creek from the adjoining ranch—and perhaps to a new life up north.

Got to the lake safely. This may be our last year at this resort tho. Even tho' he installed a new railing for the slope to the stairs that lead to the dock, there still are those 19 stairs down to the cabin while being attacked by the state bird. Poor Camper made 10 trips carrying all the stuff I unpacked from the car... but 8 bags were camera gear! Plus: 2 suitcases, 1 large duffel with: towels, food, fishing items, first aid kit etc., a small collapsible cooler with life vests inside, bucket/tackle box/net/2 rods/bait bucket, 2 bags fresh groceries.
At the grocer we saw a poster for a sale of fry bread tacos at a local park pavilion by members of the Leech Lake band of Ojibwe. YUM! We followed it up with a stop at the local ice cream parlor. Yum, again.
Had my instructions for the pontoon. Oh boy...
Unpacked and ready for SED

Happy Caturday! .
((Tig andCamper)).   Good fishing and good luck finding a place with more accessible facilities! 
Lori, thanks for pictures and black fly information.  There are plants that can be a deterrent to black flies too:  fans are likely more effective.
Clynn, good sounding dinner for Erin!  He deserves a cruise. You and Ed raised a. Very responsible young man!   Good for h and h on the porch!
Tsk, good you are going to get advice from a specialist on low back issues!
Lisa, you know I love Piper!   Thanks for posting that darling picture! 
Lani, 🥰
Got a pot of sun impatients for a hanging basket today!  No red wave petunias available and almost no trucks coming in now!  Summer they said!   Weather has been on the dry and cool Side . I am sure this will change soon.  Wanted the plants to fill empty hanging basket and to see if it would attract some hummers!  Saw a small little one at the flowers this evening. It stopped at the feeder before flying off!   Mamma finch is still busy on incubation duty. Seds

Dr Sharpe & Amber Schenk (IWS Institute for Wildlife Studies) hike up to the Two Harbors nest and band Chase & Cholyn's seven week old eaglet today!
 After taking measurements, Dr Sharpe determines it is a boy - and is banded 49 D.

Phyl - Love your Happy Sunday morning greeting.  Thanks for the cam pics.

I'm sure Scott is thanking you all for remembering him....btw, he loved eagles and raptors as much as we all do...

Lisa - am hoping/thinking you will be adding more numbers to your list of kitties eating as the days go forward...hopefully, more than one at a time!.... ;) ;)

High 83 today, 84 tomorrow and then 7 days of 89/90. Then back to low 80s/hi 70s.  :o :o

tsk, glad to hear you are supplementing your PT, somehow I knew you would... you are having today the most beautiful day we had yesterday! I looked up sun impatiens, actually SunPatients. I have never seen any around here, maybe they are a Southern flower?:  https://www.southernliving.com/garden/sun/sunpatiens-flowers

Phyl, another beautiful sunrise on the Flyway! Enjoyed the banding at Two Harbors, was hoping they didn't fall into that cactus! Just a few little white tufts on the eaglet's head! Great pic of DH2 and DM, both looking great!  You know, I didn't even think to take any pictures since his birthday isn't for another week. We will see them again before then, Sydney's sister Skylar is getting married Friday and they leave for Florida on Saturday. They are driving to Orlando, then will go to the Cruise ship.

Lani, love those cuddly gray kitties, I had a solid gray boy long ago, his name was Stanley! That made me think of the black cat I named Alfie, who became Alfina when she had 7 kittens...  ;D I think Stanley was one of her kittens!

kb, I missed Scott's birthday in heaven yesterday, I hope you two had a good visit...  Love that Rhodie bush, the color is gorgeous! I took this picture of a big one that I took in Astoria OR when I visited willie! It's pretty, but the darker purple is even prettier!

I am going to find it on youtube so I can listen!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7XB12GL0vA Hope you are feeling good these days, love it when you visit the Beak! https://i.pinimg.com/564x/bb/99/8f/bb998f08721e0c25235cc07c4bac6a2c.jpg

karen, dang on the red wave petunias! Did you get red Impatiens?

Lisa, I had a rum & coke while Ed was grilling yesterday evening, maybe Jeff and I had them at the same time! Has Jeff taken any videos of the kittens? Oh, I bet they are so cute! And how are you feeling? Back to normal I hope!  Thank you for the kind words about Erin, Ed and I are very proud of the man he has become!

Sydney's youngest sister just graduated from HS, this is from her Graduation party:

Good Morning?  66 now going to 82 late this afternoon!  Nice weather but gradually getting warmer!
Clynn, red in the hanging basket.  Did get the attention of the one hummer who then got some food!
Poor mama finch does all the incubating!  Saw a medium sized black and white bird land in the backyard yesterday at about dusk.  New to me but perhaps a variety of Woodpecker.  Will have to research this.  Too cold on the porch this am!
Tsk, you are an inspiration,  good luck on your walking!
Lisa, do not worry about the kitties not eating food!   MamaMisty will take care of it and they will want to eat.  Takes time!
I had a rhody in my forested, hilly backyard in Asheville , nc.  Actually there were several. All bright red and breath taking!
Clynn, hope you can rest today!
Lani, when does
Thanks for all the morning posts and round ups!  Phyll, the banding at two harbors was spectacular!

CLYNN   Beautiful finch feeders.  Thanks - I know there are coleus that do well in the sun.  I would need to check at my nursery.  They may even have them.  Just read the "hardiness zone" is 10-12 - so not for us.  Big adventure coming up for Erin and family.   Your rhody was huge as well from Ore.   Thanks for the youtube vid - Boy, they are a handful to grab and a noisy bunch  LOL  Cute pic of the kids at the graduation party.  Bella's party dress  ;)   " Newly hatched electrician"  LOLOL

LANI   Great bear update - Close call on the fire but all OK.   Seeing that lineage always amazes me.

tsk - Pretty Sunday greeting!  Yep, those who eat, know the drill for litter box (fingers crossed)!

kb - I am hoping the same.

Lani - wow, I know the whole state of MN is under a red flag fire warning and knew there was a fire somewhere up north, but had no idea how close it was to the Bear Center....it seems to me it would have been a monumental task to round up the bears and move them....So glad they got it under control.

No rain, low humidity, and winds have put us once again into a precarious situation...we've had brush fires in and around the twin cities already.

I worry a little about early fireworks and campfires etc....

Laid another 7 bags of mulch out front, just 3 more to go...for 22 in front....think that will be it for this summer...

Too much other things to do in back....

We need some rain here....prayers appreciated! ;)

some bounce

Yep... the whole pontoon thing is new to us. It is great for us for getting in and out. Not as great for fishing, but it is a trade-off. I'll need to get up earlier tomorrow and see what I can scare up.

Staying off the lake during midday while the "idiots" are screaming around making waves in all manner of fast craft.
Sat outside for a while with the lady from the next cabin and I saw a BE circling the next bay. I saw 2 trumpeter swan and 2 loon this morning. Also, a muskrat and a great blue heron.

LISA   Garden turned out beautiful for Memorial day  :)

KB  Do believe in a couple days we will officially be in a drought.  Boy, I used to do all that mulching myself but no longer. That's a back killer.  Take care.

TIG   Can't beat the nature you see if the fish aren't biting.  Tim's bro has a pontoon boat in Fla and has no problem fishing from it.  What don't you like about it?

Lisa nice cappa this AM; Mama Misty has it under control  ;)  I enjoy a Rum&Pepsi with South of the Border dishes. Potted Vincas are pretty.
Our Old  Glory will be flying at halt staff and a mouring ribbon too. as of after 12AM.  Pourch decor of Red. White, Blue firecracker blooms

KB  handsome Alaskan wolf.  Those we love never truly leave us.  ;)   🙏 's   I too fret about the wildlife at this time of year with all the pyrotechnics.
 

Hi {{{Puff}}}

CLynn  For me , time to get the walking shoes on and one in front of the other, commences this evening. Erin/Sydney will have a nice time on the cruise.  I may have missed this---Talon/Bella going  on the cruise ,too. Arent they? And, to the wedding?

Lani tks for the Bear Study from Dr. Rogers. Holly / Steele    Fire  :o :( :'(   So glad all are well. The bear  lineage is fantastic

Karen 🙏 's   ;     slowly and surely your 'place' is getting back up to 'snuff'.   If I recall---Ashville, NC is lovely.  Two Harbors and Sauces nests are my faves. Luv those BE families.

Tig  'idiots' on the lake. I get it. Whatever you 'scare up' will be yummie. Hope you two have lots of fun.

When I fished in a fishing boat I was sitting in the driver position and could react readily to conditions as I fished. And I was closer to the water which made it easier to land a fish. Now when I'm driving the pontoon it is so high up and of course there is the console. So... I sit in another seat but if I am not at anchor I have to get up and get in the driver's seat to react. So drifting and casting is not the best. I will get used to it. It will work better for stationary fishing with a bobber and live bait I guess. Or, I need to get up early when it is calm if I want to cast for bass. I did purchase a larger, longer net to assist.

Phyl - Thank you for all info & pics. :)  Cute pic of DH2.  Hopefully Jim gets to get off work early tomorrow?

LisaG - It doesn't sound easy to try and get the kittens to eat food - maybe as they watch Piper, they will get the idea. :)     Just saw your beautiful Vincas and, you truly are ready for Memorial Day - very nice!!

Kb - Like your morning pic!  I remember that you would share stuff about the BE's with Scott.  I know he loved & enjoyed them too. :)

Clynn - Wow the pic of the beautiful bush you took while visiting Willie is so gorgeous - sure hope it is still beautiful.  Cute pic of Talon & Bella at the graduation!

Karen - I am glad you told LisaG not to worry about the kittens not eating 'food' yet, because you are correct in that Misty will see to it that all the kittys start eating food.  I'm sure they will soon! :)

Kb - You sure have been busy in your yard - I bet it is so pretty out there! ;D

Puff - Have you been out in the yard? :)

Hi Baz!

Tig - I too, would stay off the lake while all the boating action is going on!  Wonderful that you got to see all those species!!  Fun!  8) ;D

Lani - Hope you are having a nice weekend  :)

Tsk - How was your walk today?  :)

Lori - Thank you for all the pics!

Yep, E4E still outside working on the yard.  Hope to finish before leaving for ATF.   :(  Old body with issues and all the wise advise from friends and drs makes for slow going.  Plus, there's a real issue of water.  Heard early this a.m. that it is the second driest May on record.  Still being aggrevated by sprinkler guy who has to open things up.

Lani still haven't found a decent left over sunpatient.  Really a hot item!

I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
By Howard Schnauber

I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is "Old Glory".
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.

When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.

I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped -- I am saluted.
I am loved -- I am revered.
I am respected -- and I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war
for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg,
Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome
and the beaches of Normandy, Guam,
Okinawa, Korea, and Vietnam.
I was there. I led my troops.
I was dirty, battle-weary and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled
on the streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.

I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
and trampled on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle -- it hurts.
But I shall overcome -- for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness
to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.

When I am torn into strips
and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms
of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.

MY NAME IS "OLD GLORY".
LONG MAY I WAVE.
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN,
LONG MAY I WAVE.

There is a "SYSTEM" tsk that is great when it gets opened.
 
There's a safety system that gets set in the fall to stop freezing leftover water in the system pipes that then pop a crack in the underground.  Routine is:  turn off water system to the underground maze, blow air though to get all the water out; the opposite in the spring - open main water value to fill it back up with H2O.  And, just in case, in the spring turn on and check for any cracks/problems in the system.   

Two big problems ala old lady with knee replacements - if I go down the turn valve off/on then I'm ordained to remain until support services comes to get me back up on two feet. 
:-\

Sometimes, mostly often, things do not work according to schedule.  Usually we did this routine at the end of April, beginning of May.  Latest word is he'll be here Tuesday.  Holding my breath, NOT.  Always - a lot of the time - unreliable people interference with project.

It is a godsend when in operation.  Starts at 5 a.m., 9 station combinations for length of time on, regulate days to be done, water sensor turns system off if there's any meaningful rain.  One plus that I missed this time around is the different patterns/designs you can set.  I.E.  There are 3 big back and forth patterns for the big main areas; there are fan type sprays down the sides of the house and across the front curb; and then there's directional sprays pointed at strategically located plantings.   No fun for me when I have to make 2 1/2 - 3 hours worth of pattern changes.

tsk, our ground is very dry too, I think we have some rain coming with the hot week on the way! They have upped it to 85 for today, so I imagine the AC will have to come on. Now the door to the deck will be shut, so the cats have to be in or out!

Thank you as always for posting the Collage - much appreciated.

Kb - Will you be taking Ollie for a walk?  Wishing you & Chris & Ollie a nice day.

Lani - We've had a good, but busy weekend - mostly just the regular stuff, but hubby worked on our back fence and has started his new project of building a new storage unit.  Wishing all of you a nice day. :)

Puff - Probably not much 'down' time for you with yard work/planting, and the ATF! ;)   Good luck with the water system & sprinklers - wish you would get some reliable help!

Phyl - Love the beautiful flag tribute you posted this morning.  Hope you & Jim find time to relax & enjoy the late afternoon when he gets home. :)
Thank you for cam pics.   Like the geese pic!

LisaG - Good that Jeff had some time off!   I think as the kittens keep growing, their appetite will want some of that kitty food! ;D

Tig - Hope you & Camper are enjoying your trip!  8)  Have you been able to use your new net?

Beakers have a nice day  :)

We will be having my mom & sis over here later for a little bbq.

Thanks for the
lovely .birthday greetings but I will have to save them until tomorrow! I was-born on Memorial Day back when the holiday was May 30th!   The government changed it to the last Monday in May. So folks could enjoy a three day weekend!  Anyway, thanks again.  Bbl

Hi Karen I remember a few months back, you had said your birthday was on May 30th. I made a note of it. I was saving your 'greetings' for tomorrow.
In view of the fact everyone is celebrating it today...


Still dealing with a 'crazy' AM--- then Jim will come home with his left arm all bandaged up due to a minor accident at work. Won't know how bad 'till
he arrives home afgter 3pm. I suspect it has to do w/ his  age / meds related thinning skin getting torn---old age isn't for sissies. Nope!

Happy Memorial Day all!

Already watered front and back/gardens and yard since 7am this morning.

Took Ollie man for a walk and finished my front yard mulching.

Now the heat will begin..

Just from inside the house, my now sunny side of front gardens....only yellow iris up just a day or two.
Nothing else yet.....for some reason none of my purple iris even blossomed in front....not yet anyway and they usually open long before the yellow ones.
Have no idea why...a majority of them were under a ton of snow on the shady side so....
My honeysuckle looks good as does my forsythia in the corner....perennials have a ways to go yet..

Have a nice holiday.

Lori - that eagle pic on the headstone is also Fort Snelling.

My father, my husband Scott, his father and brother are all buried there....It's very close to the Mississippi River so many eagles nearby. But that picture is now iconic....what timing for the photographer.

Have had some edema in my lower legs a d feet , late afternoon and evening so the cardiologist has  me drinking 64 ounces of water a day (currently on glass 4 of 5, 12 ounce glasses) and  weighing in the am, before coffee, etc,  if I gain 5 pounds overnight I call them and probably take a second
Diuretic!  So far so good!   The other thing was to go very low sodium.  Between the two, excellent results!
Am loving this!   The water not so much!
Good nest round ups today! What is wrong with your arm?  Hope Jim is okay!   He sure needs sime relaxing down time!  You too!
Lani, thanks for the reminder of your home state’s cemetery  practice. I have a,ways thought that was pretty special.  Is Aly on the road?  Are you doing okay?
Clynn, saw the Davenport building collapse
a little while ago!  Looks terrible.   Btw, the electrician cartoon was very funny!
Weather has been great here, but the heat is coming back.  The high that has been keeping a lot of tge east coast dry is being replaced by a low!  Bi rain in the forecast just tge horrid humidity!

Memorial Day greetings to All the Beakers.  :)


Clynn, thank you for posting the Beaker Family's Veterans collage. My sister used to have an indoor/outdoor cat, who loved to sit on the screened porch, but sometimes asked to go outside. When my sis would see that cat sitting by the kitchen door to the porch, she would open it and ask, "Do you want to go out? or out out?"  ... Meaning, of course, do you want to go out to the porch, or out to the porch and then out to the yard?  LOL!  Of course your H&H won't get that second option presented to them, but I predict they will definitely do the crossing-a-threshhold "I wanna go," "no, wait, I'm not sure," "no, yes! I want to go out," "oh, maybe not, let me think about it," "don't close the door, I want to go out!" dance.   ;) ;D ;D ;D

Karen, enjoy stretching out your birthday wishes.  :D  I will hold out till your tomorrow birthday then.  ;) :D  Congrats on the diet and nutrition progress! And, dang it, I always say, why can't it come off as easily as it goes on?  ;)  I might have to put up a hummingbird feeder this year - I haven't before because the ants are such a problem here, and I don't want one more location to make a stand against them. LOL!

Phyl, I hope Jim's arm heals quickly. Maybe you won't do "surgery"  ;) on it tonight since he's going to see the doctor tomorrow?


Waving to All the Beakers! Take care, All.  :)

Why do we celebrate Memorial Day — and should it return to its roots?

(https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/284598608_563441165142137_9073891627875112958_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=LafsRzxXBI4AX9hHSxH&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfAEbdI6BKpOZYCDwOUmCMlZ3YHw0wfzy7FTtywdp_hCdg&oe=647A5E98)

Some 37,000 American flags line the Boston Common on Memorial Day, representing Massachusetts military members who died in service from the Revolutionary War to the present. Unlike Veterans Day, this holiday honors those who lost their lives serving the U.S.

Why do we celebrate Memorial Day—and should it return to its roots?
Not to be confused with Veterans Day, this federal holiday honors those who lost their lives in service of their country.

For many Americans, Memorial Day signifies the start of the summer season, as well as a much-needed long weekend filled with activities like sporting events and barbecues. But that wasn’t the original purpose of the day—and its evolution over the years has been rife with controversy.

Celebrated on the last Monday in May, Memorial Day commemorates those who have lost their lives serving their country—unlike Veterans Day, on November 11, which celebrates all people who have served in the military. Since the end of the Civil War, when it was known as Decoration Day, the holiday has been marked by solemn parades and ceremonies and the placing of flowers on the graves of fallen service members.

However, some critics have complained that the holiday has drifted too far toward frivolous fun and should be restored to a more respectful observance. Here’s how the holiday got started and why it has sparked debate throughout its history.

Who really started Memorial Day?
Even the origins of Memorial Day remain debated—and controversial. Some scholars have noted that the practice of decorating graves with flowers on specific days in spring is an ancient custom, and may thus represent the true roots of the holiday. However, most say that the holiday began in the bloody wake of the nation’s most divided time: the Civil War.

From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe;
FRANCIS MILES FINCH

The U.S. Civil War was devastating for families on both sides of the conflict—nearly 500,000 men died, or about 2 percent of the U.S. population at the time. During the battle of Gettysburg, the Union and Confederacy lost more than 7,000 people.

PHOTOGRAPH BY JACK FLETCHER, NAT GEO IMAGE COLLECTION
The conflict ended in April 1865 and in subsequent years women, especially in the South, began tending to the graves of fallen soldiers, often regardless of which side they fought for. Their willingness to overlook past divisions was lauded in newspapers in the North. Their kindness was viewed as an olive branch to many, including northerner Francis Miles Finch, who in 1867 wrote the popular poem “The Blue and The Grey” praising those efforts.

The specific event that sparked the first Memorial Day remains a matter of debate.  Some say the first Memorial Day took place on May 1, 1865, when a large group of recently freed African Americans held a parade in Charleston, South Carolina, to honor fallen Union soldiers. Dozens of other cities around the country claim the title, too, for their early Civil War remembrance ceremonies. Still other observers have pointed to President Abraham Lincoln’s commemoration of the dead at Gettysburg in 1863 as a possible origin of the holiday.

The only major national memorial honoring U.S. servicewomen.
President Lyndon B. Johnson would later weigh in on the lingering question in 1966, when he officially recognized Waterloo, New York’s ceremony on May 5, 1866, as the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. Waterloo’s supporters argued that event was deserving of the notice because it was formal and city wide, and included closing of local businesses.

How Memorial Day became a federal holiday
After years of local celebrations, the holiday was first celebrated nationwide in May 1868, when former Civil War General John A. Logan led a commemoration at Arlington National Cemetery. He issued a proclamation calling for "Decoration Day" to be observed each May 30 across the country.

Logan, who would eventually run for vice president, called it Decoration Day because he said the fallen should be honored by "strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating, the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion." The month of May was likely chosen due to an abundance of spring flowers.

After World War I, in which America lost more than 100,000 soldiers, Decoration Day was expanded to honor all those who had died while fighting—not just those from the Civil War. The name of the holiday also gradually shifted, with Memorial Day becoming more popular in the 20th century.

Congress made Memorial Day an official national holiday in 1971. Instead of May 30, however, the day was pegged to the last Monday in May to create a long weekend. In the years since, Memorial Day evolved into a three-day weekend filled with barbecues, sports, and store discounts, which often overshadow the day's more somber origins.

How Memorial Day is celebrated today
The American Legion has called for a return to a more serious observance of Memorial Day. In 2010, the organization wrote a resolution that called for ending the long weekend and restoring Memorial Day to May 30, noting, "The majority of Americans view Memorial Day as a time for relaxation and leisure recreation rather than as a solemn occasion and a time to reflect and pay tribute to the American servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives in defense of our Nation."

The late Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye, a World War II veteran and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient who served in the Senate from 1963 to 2012, introduced legislation to move Memorial Day back to May 30 several times, without success. Some communities continue to host Memorial Day events on May 30 as well.

We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.
MAJ. GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN
Many solemn observances of the day remain, however. Since 2000, people across the country have been asked to join in a moment of remembrance at 3:00 p.m. local time. Bells are tolled and NASCAR races are put on hold. Flags are flown at half-mast until noon, to signify a day of mourning.

Over Memorial Day weekend, more than 135,000 people visit Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Traditionally, the president or vice president lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. More than 280,000 flags are placed at headstones for all those who have laid down their lives for their country.

We worked on the yard most of the day yesterday, got everything into the dumpster that we could. They are picking it up today! Will be glad to see that big yellow eyesore out of my driveway. Goodbye old shed, Ed has been building shelves in the new one. He is less than a so-so construction person.  ::) ::)  Will be going out to Kay's later this morning, Debbie flew in yesterday, she has a 9:00 appointment at the bank. She was never able to find the password to Kay's computer, so will have to depend on the bank to know what bills need to be paid and what needs to be cancelled. She plans to leave Friday morning in the U-Haul with the items she is taking back to Florida.

Lani, thank you for posting the Beaker Remembrance photos! I was so frustrated trying to get the new military collages finished that I totally forgot about our precious Beakers...

Phyl, love those skinny legs on the little girl with the huge ice cream cones! Jim's scrape on his arm sounds sort of like the one Kay got on her leg. They grafted it with pig skin...it looked good when it was all healed, but very awful when it first happened. Wow, those bluebirds are fast! All of our babies are looking good, Two Harbors, Decorah, GSB! Now hoping the black flies stay away!

oldguy, love the Proud Mary with Tina and Cher, and Elton John at the piano!  I kept waiting for him to get up and join them! That blueberry yogurt bark you posted for karen looks yummy, I saved it for future use!

Lori and karen, many thanks for the Memorial Day article! It was very interesting and informative!

baz, yes, I have experienced the 'in/out/can't decide' cat actions! It has been nice and cool here until yesterday afternoon . Now the sliding door is shut and they will have to let me know when they want to go out or in! We just left it open earlier. In/Out as they pleased! 

Lani/baz, there is a simple device you can get to keep ants out of the hummingbird feeders, it's called an 'ant moat'. You fill it with water and the ants trying to get to the sugar water fall in and drown. Some feeders have it built in. Here is one like Mom has on her feeder, from Walmart:

Lori, good to see you! Hope you and Destini are both well and happy!

Lovely day! Mom demonstrates her superb shading skills during a stretch, the chicks snooze, dad preens, a cormorant airs its wings, and a pelican cruises looking for a fishy lunch.

some bounce

Tuesday. Chance of rain here. We might go look at other resorts in the area (that we had not seen when searching/found this one). We battled mosquitos all night! Grr.
Yesterday, I caught/released about 2 dozen nasty Perch (sorry Iowans). But I caught 3 nice sunnies. The neighbor (for the past 5 yrs.) trolls the shoreline (I don't use the trolling motor) and has been getting his limit of bass... so he gives some to us... already cleaned! And she saw me and carried my bucket of fish up the hill to the fish cleaning shack for me. They are so sweet. Only one of their kids/grandkids are coming up next week because the other just had a another grandbaby. We will be getting them a gift card for the local ice cream shop again this year.
Back to sleep for a while. BBL

PHYL   Sorry about Jim's arm.  Injury in the line of duty.  Combo  - blood thinners and thin skin.  Never pleasant.  Hope it heals quickly.

BAZI  I'll post the "ant catcher" when done.  It works.

LORI  Thanks for posting Karen's link

OLDGUY  Good Pluggers.  Bet you had a busy weekend!    Great Proud Mary - nice surprise at the end.  :D   Interesting piece on cats.  Knowing that meowing is like a baby's crying and gets attention  LOL

CLYNN  So a new shed is part of the backyard renovation?   Will be nice to have the dumpster gone.  Big job ahead for Debbie  - sorting out what is what.   Thanks for posting the ant catcher I told BAZI about.  Now I won't post it  LOL

TIG   They are very nice neighbors to share fish with you and help with the hauling.  Bet Camper is getting some good pics.  Bummer about the mosquitos

Phyl and clynn, thanks for the nest round ups!  Everyone seems to be growing up nicely! I too hope the black flies are not a problem!

tsk, yes, the old 25 year old shed took some hits during the hailstorm last fall and to my surprise our insurance paid for a new one! For this one we had a concrete floor poured which will be much better! The plywood floor had finally succumbed and the chipmunks were using it as a grand hotel! Lots of tunnels under what was left of the plywood. We are headed to 88 today with a possible stray shower or thunderstorm. We actually could use some rain!

tig, mosquitoes! Ugh! You can badmouth perch, I don't care! LOLOL! Don't like it either, but then I am not a native of Iowa...

Lisa, Jeff is kitty sitting, he is a sweetie! And I bet he is enjoying every minute of those furry little kids!

tsk - I've watched shows about this...a human is calling out or whistling some trained movement of the dogs....not sure this is going on in this one but I see a vehicle following behind so most likely..

Those dogs are trained very well.

Whew, hot and getting humid here....tig, we might have some strong storms and/or hail this afternoon...
Hope you made contingencies for that..
Course cause they will be "pop up" ones we won't know till almost already on top of us.

I'll roll my large umbrella down and move some special annual plants to safer areas just in case..

The weather now just feels like something might pop.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


I've been watching the Roland Garros French Open Tournament that started over the weekend - finishing the 1st round up today, with lots of upsets already. Lots of good matches, and a new crop of younger players breaking in to the rankings and the tennis-going counsciousness. My boyfriend, Rafa (Rafael Nadal)  ;) :-* :-* :-* , is an astounding 14-time French Open Champion, from 2005-2022!! During those 18 years, the only other winners have been Roger Federer (once), Novak Djokovic (twice), and Stan Wawrinka (once). Rafa Nadal is the all-time best, most incredible clay court player, He is not playing in the French Open this year, due to a hip injury. He hopes to be back for Wimbledon this summer - the next major - and has also said that he expects 2024 to be his last year playing the tournaments.   :(  He has inspired so many players, and has set so many records!  I'm going to miss him!!



Waving to All the Beakers! Take care.  :)

BAZI   Nadal will certainly go down in the record books.  The Michael Jorden of tennis  ;) ;)   Ear worm funny  ;D  Now that is a great backyard cam of Sis's  :) :o

TSK... LOL. I like a lot of those "fishes" you mentioned. I was only listing the ones I can catch here.  :o
We slept in... then a trip to the pharmacy, the resorts and then back to town for the gift cert. at the ice cream shop (ahem). Oh, and we stopped at a lodge where they make their own donuts every day. I'll have one for breakfast tomorrow. Hopefully I will feel well enough to get up early and "go get 'em".
We just finished about a quarter of a watermelon. I usually eat it plain or with maybe a sprinkle of sugar. Camper loads his with salt! My Dad did the same. You know what they say... LOL. EEK!
We got sprinkles for about 15 min. this afternoon. Pretty thunderstorm clouds surround the lake at sunset... but nothing much doing.

Hi Everyone,
It's been a crazy few days. I hope everyone is well.... Aly and Dewey left mid-afternoon. We packed up a U-Haul for her to pull and the movers will be here at 10am in the morning to pack up her furniture, boxes, etc. She is going through Vegas right now and has another hour before she reaches the motel. We're exhausted, Mike went to bed at 7, and I'm getting ready to call it a night. Thank you all for you emails and TLC. We'll be happy when she reaches Medford. She didn't get the house. Even though she was first on the list, they rented it to someone else. Aly is going to complain to the Real Estate board, this is the 2nd time she was first on the list and they rented to someone else. They didn't even do a check on her qualifications or anything. This noon they tried to talk her into renting an apartment instead. Sweet Eagle Dreams and I'll catch up with everyone late tomorrow.

Bluebirds, 2nd clutch 2023 Nesting Season

6 eggs laid 4-25-23
Hatch 5-1-2023

This photo taken 5-24-24 3:54Pm
 Looks like there's only 3 of the original 6 laid.

We are looking at CR-52, 53 and 54.

Again, time sneaked by the humans.  :(     I'm speaking of 'fledging'.   
At the time the above photo was traken, the three
were due to fledge any day thereafter.   As busy as we are it would have been easy to miss the dramatic action

Since 2002 Jim and I have been providing nesting boxes for the Eastern Bluebirds of Tennessee.
As well as making available meal worm feeder, seeds and a safe enviorment for them to rear their fledglings and live all year long.
These are cheery and amusing birds to watch. And, a joy to help during this time in our area of constant construction due to the mass migration from the Western United States into The Deep South.
I have endeavored to keep a ‘scientific’ method of documentation. I use a ‘scientific’ naming system similar to what is used in the monitoring of the raptors.

I hope you enjoy them  as much as we  do  tacking,  documenting and 'providing' for them.

Our backyard is the very best place to view bluebirds in Old Hickory Hills. **

The Eastern Bluebird was chosen for TWRA's Watchable Wildlife license plate because it is a common Tennessee bird that people have benefitted by putting up bluebird boxes.  This small thrush is a year round resident and can often be seen hunting along roadsides from a fence or low perch.
The breeding range of the Eastern Bluebird extends across the eastern half of North America southward into Central America. The northernmost nesters migrate to the southern part of the breeding range in winter.
The brilliant blue color of the male, the delightful call and familial behavior make the Eastern Bluebird one of the most popular songbirds in Tennessee. It is a permanent resident, though some birds may move short distances south from their breeding areas to avoid very cold temperatures.
Description: This medium-sized songbird has a large, round head, and a blue back, wings and tail.    The chest is orange, the lower belly is white, and the male is brighter than the female.Adult male: a brilliant blue above and rusty orange on the throat and breast, whitish belly  Female: gray-blue above and dull rust on the throat and breast, whitish belly  Juvenile: similar to adult female but grayish with a speckled breast  (May-August)

Length: 7"
Wingspan: 13"
Weight: 1.1 oz
Voice: The song is a soft musical cheer cheerful charmer melody. The call notes are raspy and scolding.
Similar Species:
    • No other songbird in Tennessee has a blue back and orange breast.

TSK... all how each was raised I guess. My preference: 1. bass 2. crappie 3. sunny 3. northern 4. walleye (by accident)

KB ... yep. Hanging plants on ground in shade; umbrella laid across/under chairs

I've been fighting a wet cough since last night. I took an allergy pill. Maybe it was being out in the (smokey?) wind for 6 hours yesterday and sleeping with a window open (I'm not used to that).

Totally taste is a matter of how you grow up/where you grow up.  Rocky mountain born and bred, you know I was fishing and eating rainbow at the age of 3.  (There is a proof of said somewhere in ancient collection of old photos.)  About 8 or 9 we moved to about 1 mile from Lake Michigan and North Avenue Beach.  Fishing about  2 or 3 times a week.   

Fresh and tasty all the way.  Perch, smelt - yummy!  Other proof of ventures:  salmon in Alaska, King crab also.  How about Belize, Bay of Fundy?  Tongue in cheek show off:  Had fresh catch from Ketchakan prepared and shipped back for Christmas appetizers - What an expensive show for the fishers of the family. 

It's all in the company, the preparedness, the memories.  Just not the same "flavor" from the Supreme Fish Company in suburb Chgo.  Just recalled my Christmas special - my mother-in-law's fresh, cold, Italian marinaded 10 fish (?) salad.   

Mostly great memories of people and fresh flavors.  Y'all have started the memory machine.  :o   :'(

Now there's another happy, tasty, memory Tig.   How about fresh watermelon cooling to "icy" in the mountain streams while we trek and fish.  So grateful that these fatastic memories can still be resurrected and enjoyed.

GOOD MORNING

67 heading to 89.  mostly sunny     We have had 0.4 " of rain this month - We should have had 4.o"+  We are now the second driest May on record.  :P

LISA   I'm glad I'm not charged with picking out a new kitty.  Would not know which one as they are all so cute.  ;)

KAREN    I forgot to put grouper on my list  LOL  Got to be near the ocean to get the really fresh stuff.

TIG   My Dad ate watermelon with salt as well  :P   So you aren't feeling quite up to par?   Maybe an ice cream cone will help  ;) ;)

LANI  I figured you were busy with getting Aly and Dewey on the road.  :'(   Too bad about losing the rental house.  Is having a dog an issue??
Safe trip and keep us posted.

PHYL   Nice pic of the almost ready to fledge BBs   Thanks for the backround on the BB. 

PUFF    LOLOL  I could put trout on my list as well  ;D  Think it would be easier to say what fish I don't care for 

NRSTOOGE  Good to see you and glad WF now has their osprey back  ;D

High 87 today, possible stray shower/thunderstorm. Don't trust the radar, it looked like the rain was passing us by, then the wind whipped up a frenzy and the rain came down! Cat was working on planting my flower bed and had to leave! Spent most of the day at Kays, we got all of the glass packed up for Debbie to take, the last dumpster will be picked up this morning. The realtor is coming this morning and we will finish packing Debbie's things today. She will pick up the U-Haul tomorrow and has two guys coming to load it. The car has been sold (I took a couple of pictures of Kay's car for Kelsey, she loved that green Honda...), the real estate taxes have been paid and she has the information she needs from the bank. We are almost done...

Puff, no one has mentioned catfish! My Grandpa caught a lot of catfish in the Wabash River! There is a restaurant on the Wabash River in So. Illinois, where it meets with the White River, called Twin Rivers. They serve a catfish filet, freshly caught by fishermen who camp along the river.  Delish!  Here are a couple of pictures of Twin Rivers, the 2nd one of the worst flooding in 2017:

Phyl, the Flyway looks beautiful this morning! Love seeing some of the Bluffs!  I love what you and Jim have done for the Bluebirds... Will they have one more clutch this year?

Lani, angels are traveling with Aly and Dewey as their new adventure begins! My prayer is that she will find a place quickly now that they can meet her and see that she is exactly the person they want in their house...

karen, great picture of you on your 85th birthday! And it was a good day!

E4E, yes, our insurance is very good! We haven't had a claim for over 23 years, and then it was just a small one. Last year it was all the hail damage- roof, deck, shed, cars, and the year before it was the privacy fence. I am waiting to see if my premium goes up this fall...  ::)

tig, so was your fishing adventure a success? I imagine peace, just floating on the water...if the bugs aren't too bad...

kb, that Mama and baby gorilla, just too sweet, she was kissing him...

Lisa, can't wait to see pics of the kids today!

tsk, I remember when you used to always be posting the same time as I was! And as I am previewing, there you are!

nr thanks for the good news that there are ospreys nesting in the WF nest and there are 3 eggs! Finally! Can't wait to see the orange fish from the Mall lake! It should be pretty well stocked by now!

some bounce

We had a mild thunderstorm go through last night. I slept in this a.m. Still feeling yucky. I stayed on the couch with my knees up on pillows all evening. My swollen ankles improved a bit. Vacation time means more sitting and standing and heat than I'm used to.
I'll head out for a few hours this a.m. before it gets too hot and possible storms later.

Hot morning here,

Tig - all the storms around the Twin Cities were to our west and our east.....I fear a repeat of the last two summer's severe drought.
Am already tired of hand watering and sprinkling but that's what I need to do once again all morning.

No walk for Ollie today as it's already too hot for a black, low to the ground pup....watched John walk his malinois about an hour ago and he returned post haste in about 10 minutes with her panting...and she's not black or low to the ground..

Tig, MD prescribed drinking 64 ounces of water a day and keeping feet   elevated
To reduce  edema.  Seems to work!   Currently on glass one of five!   Ight not work whike fishing!

Forgot trout and catfish while listing all the fish goodies! Thanks Tsk

TIG  Sorry you are under the weather.  Makes everything harder.  Hope you catch some fish today tho.

LISA  Muffins look good  ;D  So funny about that recipe.  A gal brought flourless baked banana nut muffins that everyone asked for the recipe.  Could throw some Ch Chips in and don't think there would be a problem.  ;D    " Take up drinking"  LOLOL  And look at those daggers on Lizzie.

Bloomington, MN Police Department:

Yesterday, our Animal Control Officer responded to a call where an owl was stuck between 2 fences. He was able to retrieve what appears to be a great horned baby owl. He located the tree the nest was in and was able to place him back on a branch within that tree. #learningtofly #notquiteyet #GreatHornedOwl #whatwilltodaybring
Some fun facts from the MN DNR "Nicknamed the tiger with wings, the great horned owl is a fearless and feared bird of prey. It is one of the few animals that will kill a skunk, and it may eat more than 4,000 mice per year. Great horned owls have long eye lashes."

Way to go!....Bloomington is the suburb I grew up in and only a mile or so away from me now.

Second picture is the recovered and placed one...

No video as this was just an Animal Control officer in the city of Bloomington.
I'm sure he just picked it up with gloves on and removed it from any fencing....they get stuck in soccer netting etc. frequently.
He may have even had help from the homeowners to identify the location of the nest.
Compared to other rescues this one in my opinion would have been an easier one...otherwise they would have called in the local Raptor Center volunteers.
I'm still happy to give kudos to them however.

Karen, glad all worked out regarding the HH and PT people yesterday. You're looking very spiffy on your birthday!   :D  I hope your birthday was extra special this year now that you're home again!  Woot woot!  :D

Hi NR !  nice to see you. Hurrah! Opreys back  in the WF nest.  ;)

{{{CLynn}}} Y'all have worked so hard to help Kay and Debbie. I'm sure it hasn't gone unnoticed and is  deeply appreciated.  I love catfish! Esp rolled in cornmeal and pan fried---like Mom did.  :)  Hope you and Munchkins had loads of fun today.

Lisa Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins look  delish and sinful!  ;D  Tks for Lizzie's photo. A cute name for a cutie-pie kitty.  Vokda and OceanSpray 100% Cranberry juice blends are a good over the rocks.  ;)

Karen  Unlike you, I had no beach, as a teenager, just the blistering hot desert, Coppertone and a sprinkler. All summer long I spent my life outdoors.  I kept my naturally jet black hair  tied up in one of Dads work bandanas so it wouldn't sunfade.  Wore sunglasses of the day. And, yes---went topless in the backyard. OMG! 
I was truly a  Califonia Girl---of the desert ;D    I think all that Syrian/Israeli / Native American ancestry helped, surprizing no Melanoma to date.  ;)   

KB good out come for bear.  ;)   Wonderful outcome for GHO too.  Tks for sharing.

Cane Ridge Blue Birds Update:
For May 31, 2023
While he was out this afternoon doing yard work, he checked NB #1 (nesting box). All chicks are gone with one lonely egg, probably not viable. What happened  to hatchlings #4 and #5  can only 'guess'---maybe died or got crushed and removed.
As per my request the unhatched egglet was removed and carefully placed in a lower willow branch as an offering to 'Nature for Her' (God)    benevolance and mercy.


From  2021 Nesting Season:
Thursday, 7-29-21.

The shrubs ar e planted. Pretty handmade  outdoor  boxberry bushes  in nursery style pots.    LOL to support the illusion, we water them for appearances sake.
 HOA   ;D
While Jim was doing all this---digging up 3 dead bushes and planting 2 and filling in one.
I pulled out the bag for the outdoor tall kitchen bin and relined. Tied up the old bag---tight! Then cut labels off the Amazon pkgs and popped the bubble wrap--- ;D ;D ;D
 and broked down the boxes and all. Carried all this and smaller bags to the GFL mini dumpster. Rolled it out to the curb for tomorrow. Or whenever they get around to collecting because of Memorial Day. Collected and sorted thru the day's mail/shredded. 
Fix Jim a tall Pepsi w/ modicum of ice and set in freezer for later when he came in and cleaned up. It'll thaw while he rests and watches the news. And, I get cleaned up myself.
I'll serve up  cubed steak in breadcrumbs pan fried with a creamy muchroom-horseradish sauce tweaked with mustard. Homemade mashed potatoes, medley of peas/carrot matchsticks seasoned in butter. Garden salad. Water, vino or beer or hard cider. Choco cupcakes. And yes I'll write a few lines , bike or walk. Probably read Nat Geo History Magazine as there' an interesting article on Vindolanda (located along Hadrian's Wall in UK seperating U K from Scotland) and the correspondance sent from it. This will be good research.  ;)

Yes, it's raining and thundering here right now and the rain is welcome! I have to pick up the Munchkins at 8:00, then I follow Debbie at 9:15 to return her rental car and take her to pick up her U-Haul truck. She has guys coming at 11:30 to load the items she is taking home to Florida and hopefully she will be able to start her journey this afternoon. We are done! The realtor came yesterday morning and he will take over what needs to be done to sell the property. Ed gladly took the day off today so he can watch the kids while I help Debbie for a bit.

Lani, Whatta Day happened yesterday? Garfield fell flat on his face into bed!

E4E, oh my no, Kelsey got pictures of the green Honda, that's all she gets! Kelsey is autistic and also has the mind of a child. She will never drive a car. She would love to have it just to look at though, that's why I took pictures of it for her, and Ed brought her out to see Kays house for the last time. She wants to know who is going to live there now.

Phyl, I am getting my hosta collection transferred to my front flower bed, it is so shady there that they will love it! I have never seen any artificial shrubbery! Good idea if you have a spot with crappy dirt... that's what the gal doing my planting says, my dirt is crappy. She is adding topsoil to it before she plants. And Miracle Grow soil in the hole before she puts the plant in. We shall see!

I have to get busy now, but I will be back after the kids pick up the Munchkins! They are leaving for Florida Saturday morning (driving) to catch their cruise.

The Munchkins yesterday:

Phyl, i need to pay some attention to my red bud!  Does Jim feed it?  With what?  Have alot of dead wood that needs to be pulled out! 

Hh coming at 9 today.  Her car doesnt work and she could not get a ride to get her here at 11! Do not really like am hours!   Not an early bird like most of you.  Guess .i have had my days!
Clynn, moving hostas is a big job!  They look so pretty and healthy i
Around your porch! 

Thanks Lisa.  Will check my email!   I do not know where Phyl buys her shrubs but .I would  try Michaels,s, if you have one.   There are some very expensive ones on line!

I have 10 minutes to spare before I go with Debbie to turn in her car!  It was pouring rain all the way to Erin's to pick up the kids! It's about 17 miles, with a stretch of it on I-80 and it was rush hour, with rain. White knuckles until I exited!

tsk, karen, I am not moving the deck hostas! I have a variety of hostas I have purchased  and a couple of those are on the side of the house. Those are the only ones we are moving. I got some hostas when I was at Mom's and a few weeks ago from a yard sale. They have been sitting in pots. I will post some pictures when I get back!

Lani - Are you still working out in your yard?  Did you recoup from the convention?

Phyl - Like the Barbie you posted this morning - she is in red, white & blue! Thanks for the cam pics today!

Kb - Wow - the Tiger picture!   Glad you & Ollie had a nice walk today. :)   Oh no, the vid of Mt. Everest was sickening. :o ::) >:(

Clynn - What a wonderful Grandpa is in taking the day off to watch his Munchkins!   Oh okay, thank you, but I feel so bad you explained about Kelsey not being able to drive. I did not know that or I would not have asked if she got the car. So sorry.   So, Talon & Bella are going on the cruise too?   Love the pics of your Munchkins ending 2nd grade and preschool!  ;D

Tsk - Wishing you all the best for tomorrow!  The worst is in preparing for the 'C' test. ::)  I'm sure Tim will be the one accompanying you. :)

LisaG - Hope all of you are having a nice evening!  Are you & Jeff getting more sleep now?

OG - Loved the vid of Roy Orbison 3 on stage!!! ;D

Karen - You have lots going on!

Tsk - The worst part about the 'C' is the prep ahead of time.  Wish you all the best and soon after, hopefully getting to enjoy a favorite meal!

Tig - Glad you are having a good time and catching some fissies on your trip! ;D

Beakers have a good night.

Sorry Beakers, it was another Whatta Day.
I hope you all are well. Good news Aly arrived in Medford this afternoon.
A few glitches on the way but she and Dewey arrived.  :) The movers on Wednesday was a nightmare,
and I'm afraid Mike lost his temper. It did not go well. Our community security
showed up and escorted the movers out when everything was agreed to. I'll share more of that tomorrow.

We had an unexpected early birthday dinner for Shannon tonight. She was going to be gone
for a long weekend and wanted a family dinner tonight. I made a Strawberrry Ice Box Cake before
I went to bed Wednesday night. It was nice to see her and get caught up. We didn't share Wednesday's drama with Shannon, just a short version.
We just wanted to enjoy her time with us. We had steaks, potato salad, stuffed eggs, Caesar Salad, corn on cob, all her favorites. And the Strawberry ice box cake.
We didn't sleep well Weds. night. After I did tonight's dishes etc., I sat at my desk to check on the Beak room and fell asleep... sorry  :-[

I'll say good night and pray all is well for our Beakers and their families (including fur babies)

Good night!

HI BEAKERS

66 heading to 86 and sunny

OH LANI   Sorry to hear about the disruption with the movers but on the plus side Aly is there safe and sound.  Not surprised about glitches as it was a long trip.  Hope things will get back to calmness today. (((LANI)))  Happy birthday to Shannon  :)

Good Morning ...

Currently  67 F  and  High 91F sunny, Low 62F  clear.


T40 the all knowing library Card Catalog. Telephone directory a primative search engine that's still around in paper form.

E4E  the stripes in Barbie's slack are a gray-ish blue,  I actually have that outfit in a zip-lock bag on a clip hanger.
As I do with the other 50+ outfits for her and Ken. ::)

Lisa the artificial shrubbery I found was on Amazon. This is what I've been
 buying  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LH1CCB6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LH1CCB6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1)
One can find more as you scroll down the same page.
Or click here to see a different  https://www.amazon.com/s?k=artificial+outdoor+plants+uv+all+weather+resistant&i=garden&page=2&crid=3JZ201V7BBJCF&qid=1685691742&sprefix=artifical+outd%2Cgarden%2C110&ref=sr_pg_2 (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=artificial+outdoor+plants+uv+all+weather+resistant&i=garden&page=2&crid=3JZ201V7BBJCF&qid=1685691742&sprefix=artifical+outd%2Cgarden%2C110&ref=sr_pg_2)

Tsk  my first Barbie was a Christmas gift from Larry and Dan. I was about 7yrs.I recall as Larry was due to ship to USAF basic training in Lackland AFB. Then to Viet Nam.    Dan was a senior in high school and still at home. But had signed with USAF and legally property of the US government as is all military.

Karen How's your little finch doing on her nest? Paulie in Cheers has inquired about you, Tsk and Lani. I kept it all 'simple'.
 
{{{Lani}}} so glad Aly arrived in Medford safely.  Happy Birthday to Shannon.

OG thanks for the Q-Kids

Lani, I am so sorry to hear that yesterday didn't go well, I hope today is better for you and Mike. Glad to hear that Aly and Dewey made it to Medford! And it sounds like you had a good Birthday dinner with Shannon! Her birthday is tomorrow, right?  I am dreaming of your Strawberry Ice Box Cake, yum! I love anything strawberry!  The Tillamook Oregon Strawberry ice cream is my favorite!

oldguy, thanks for the Midnight Special, I had forgotten all about that show! Ann Murray's Snowbird, haven't heard that in decades! Steve Martin looks like he is about 20!We have had good rain here, more than an inch for sure, maybe close to two!

E4E, nothing to be sorry for, Kelsey is Kelsey! Talon and Bella are staying with Sydney's Mom and Stepdad while they are on the cruise, they are used to overnights there, and I don't think Ed and I could handle a full time week of them! Bella wore Papa out in just a few hours yesterday!

T40, I remember that search engine!  The kids today have no idea how hard life used to be!   ;D ;D

tsk, for some reason I would imagine you were right at home with the Dewey Decimal System!

Phyl, Bandit, DH2 and the GSB Quads are all looking great!  Love the felted kitty with his puppy...so sweet! And those Puffins, looks like they are calling a meeting!I remember playing with our Barbies on the patio when we were stationed at Luke AFB in AZ, Concrete patio, hot...we didn't notice or care!

You totally blew my memories and my day's/night/morning schedule OldGuy  The Lady had talent; the Lady had a story that she found away to talk about.  And I've got a whole lot of catching up to do.  Not only your "find" but I found some more treasures to enjoy.

70's were the best - Super memories of fun.  Good time to have chance to go through the story.  No one here to complain - all the volume I wanted.  Not that he'd complain - but Ton was a Sinatra person.

Enjoy this Strawberry Danish Braid With Vanilla Glaze is made with homemade pastry dough that is light, buttery and flaky.  The first layer is a nice thick layer of creamy vanilla pastry cream, then topped that off with lots and lots of delicious strawberries!

Bearstudy - Lily’s Descendants up by Two With More in the Making - UPDATE May 31, 2023

Yesterday, Lily’s 4-year-old daughter Kaiya was seen with two little cubs of sexes still unknown. The same people also reported that Lily is paired with Loppy. The day before that, Loppy spent hours scent-marking an area by stomp-walking and rubbing his back, neck, and crown on tree after tree. Loppy appears to be ready to mix it up with any competitors as he has in the past with the battle scars and shortened, loppy ears to prove it. Other than that, he is a gentle bear we are always happy to see. More as we know it.

TGIF Beakers!
Hi Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

I hope everyone is having a good day.

What had happened Wednesday was a moving company from Illinois that Aly had a signed agreement with had changed the amount owed the minute the driver walked into our garage. Aly had a signed agreement for 400 cubic feet of items to be picked up and stored for 30 days if she didn't have a place to live. Aly had given them a deposit of 1400 in advance. The other half was due when they picked up the items. Aly didn't have time to check out this company for complaints, and she didn't share with us what company she chose.

1. They were supposed to arrive between 9-10am, they didn't show up until 4:45pm Weds (they had canceled coming Tuesday), so Aly left that day. Our gated community closes their gates to vendors at 5pm. The company said it would be less than an hour of work and they should be out.

2. 400 cubic feet is what Aly had agreed to. The driver came in the garage and said it was 800 cubic feet. Mike said absolutely not. Mike agreed there might be almost 500 cubic feet, but not double.
3. Aly had left a small bookcase in the lower area of the home for them to take as well. They were going to charge $$ for each step coming and going with the bookcase. I told them to leave it.
4. The company's crew of 4 men started wrapping items and packing truck, and the whole time the driver is calling the main office and telling them it will cost triple $$$$ to pack the items. Mike is also contacting main office in Illinois via email/phone disputing the driver. Then driver said, well then we should leave some things here.... and here we go, what should be left.
5. During this time Aly is driving, she's in CA now and she's driving through a few hail/rain storms with flood warnings. We're trying to reach her to see what items can be left behind. I should tell you that Aly's car had battery trouble when she woke up that morning outside of Vegas, and AAA came out to jump start the battery....
6. While Mike's going back and forth with the company, the driver is saying this furniture must stay, I'm trying to be logical about this process, thinking of only Aly's immediate needs. Then the driving picks up an antique table and breaks the top from the legs.  :-\  I left to have Mike deal with it. I was upset and needed to find a moment to be the peacemaker in all of this.
7. Mike comes into our home from the garage and says "they're crooks" the driver is following him into the home and he's talking to his boss on his cell and he's saying "I say leave it all here!"   :-\. I've never seen Mike angry, he's usually the calm level headed one... he had lost it. The driver is shouting on his cell phone in front of Mike too.

In the end the company boss and Mike agreed to 485 cubic feet, 85 cubic feet more than what Aly signed up for, not the 800 that the driver said. But, I had them leave Aly's kitchen table, small couch, file/coffee table and 2 bookcases. It ended up costing Aly another $1400 and another $1400 if she stores for a month. So, she's frantically trying to find someplace now, so she doesn't have to pay for storage.

Our community security guy had driven up and parked at 6:00pm because they hadn't left yet. Mike felt it was good to have them there because of the dispute. It wasn't until after 7pm that a final price was agreed upon and Mike filled in Aly's check. And security had made sure they were off the property.

After they left I took Sadie for a walk to calm down... We all needed some time to get over what happened. Mike went to bed. Aly and Dewey had settled into a motel in Susanville, CA. She was in tears and felt bad about the whole situation. I tried to calm her down and said it was okay... I reorganized the garage with Aly's items so that Mike could bring his car in again. I made Shannon the Strawberry Ice box cake, showered and then sat down to say good night to the Beak. "Whatta Day"  :-\

Now it's Friday, Aly hasn't heard from the movers. She's busy looking for a place asap even if it's a temp thing, she starts work on Monday. Her new boss and wife have been very supportive and trying to help her find a place too....  We're just waiting for what's next....

Thanks for being here, my dear Beak family, I'll be back.  :)

Ogh my word Lani!  I am so sorry!   I feel sorry for Aly!  Make a claim for the broken table!  Have Aly check every thing that arrives for damage and. File a claim for that as well!  Most movers charge by weight!    So sorry Lani!
I just screwed up on a grocery order and. Got 30 eggs by mistake!  Wanted 6 hard boiled!

Oh Lani, what an ordeal! I think a calm call or email (in a few days) to the customer service of that stupid company is due. Most don't want a bad review on Facebook...or on the Better Business Bureau. Honestly, how do they expect a customer to know what 400 cubic looks like? I wouldn't. Thanks for the Bear Study, that is a bear I have not heard of, Kaiya! Loppy is the King Gigolo for sure, don't mess with him. I guess that is about all that the male bears do...  ::) ::)

Lisa, oh I wish Jeff had gotten a picture of all of the kittens climbing all over you!

tsk, yum, pancakes sound lovely!

kb, so glad you hear you say NO to snow!  ;D ;D

karen, 30 eggs... LOLOL!! Well, at least it's something that's good for you!

KAREN   LOL   Make meringue  LOLOL   Eggs last pretty long.  I always hard boil the last 3 in the carton and get a new one.

Lani - So sad that the movers did not make the move very smooth for Aly.  It had to be pretty bad for Mike to lose his temper because he seems to go along with the flow.  Oh My Gosh - can't believe what you those movers put you through.  So sorry for the agony.   I think my husband is like Mike, in that he is so easy, mild mannered and reasonable, BUT if you push & push and step over the line - look out, because someone is going to get the wrath.  I probably would have had to physically pull my husband by the arm. . . . .  So sorry, that moving company was completely unprofessional.

So nice that you guys celebrated Shannon's birthday with her dinner favorites!  No worries that you fell asleep trying to post in the Beak.  I completely understand.  {{Lani}}

Phyl - That is so neat that you have so many of Barbie & Ken's outfits saved!  Great cam pics!

Clynn - Thank you for kind words - just didn't realize that Kelsey was not driving.  That is so nice that the Munchkins are staying with Sydney's Mom & Stepdad while they are on the cruise.  I can see how Ed would get wore out with all that energy!! Lol!   Like the hellgate cam pic. :)

LisaG - That is so sweet how the kittens want to sleep with you!  Wish there was a pic of kittens laying next to you!  ;D

Puff - You mentioned that Ton was a Sinatra person.  We love to listen to Frank's music!  Happy that your sprinkler is working well!

Karen - Hope your PT session went well.  :)

Tsk - Hope the big test went by quickly and that you got home to rest and relax and of course to eat a good meal!

Puff - That is so nice how you always post the hotels and rates for ATF. You've done that for as long as I can remember.  That is so helpful for all those planning on going!  ;D :)

Lori - Where do you find all the beautiful pics of Veggies, fruits, treats, and all?! ;D

Karen - Oh no - that is a difference between 30 eggs and 6 hard boiled! :o ::)

Tig - Hope you are enjoying and having fun catching your fissies! :)


Earlier in the week, we took flowers & a flag out to my Dad at the cemetery (memorial day) as he served in the Army in the Korean War.

Today we drove to a different cemetery for my Grandma (Dad's mother) and set out flowers for her today on her birthday of June 2nd.  She was born in 1902 & passed 1984.

Please, no one need to express anything, just saying what we did today. Thank you. :)

Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

Clynn - These kitties are wild at bedtime! Hope you can see the pic I attach.  😂pull my finger!  Love the post from Jerry.  I assume he is doing good?

Karen - oh no…30 eggs….maybe some eggs salad, deviled eggs, potato salad with egg…all the possibilities!

Have a good night, everyone!

Feel so bad for DH2 - keeps perching there on the edge looking forward for her someday flight.  It has to be more fun sharing the entire experience with another eaglet.  Learning to eat, learning to fly, sharing each others snuggles.  Lonely/Alone leaves a lot to be desired.

We got another shower this evening - .01 inch - had some thunder with it - this morning a rain cell stayed over an area 20-30 miles to the north of us for 3 hours - they got 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rain - tonight an area 10 miles to the west got 1/2 inch.  it was very spoty with most areas not gettting anything.  High was 92 today.

Today the Clark family celebrated a birthday...

Eagles, Mike is by nature a quiet man, he's never said a swear word "ever"  :o and never raised his voice to our girls when reprimanding them when they were young. So it was very upsetting for me to see him upset. I couldn't believe the driver kept coming into our home uninvited while talking to his boss on the cell phone. He went into the kitchen, hall then back through the utility room into the garage glaring at the both of us.  :o .....  I'm so glad this week is over, what a nightmare. There's some points of Weds night I go over in my mind and start laughing, but it was such a scary situation. It was special reading about your Memorial Day trips to see your dad and other family members. We miss seeing and honoring Mike's family in Salina KS cemetery. It was a family ritual when Mike's mom was with us, we would take baskets of flowers to several different family plots and Mom would share memories of fun stories of the past.  :)

Lisa, yes Aly bought insurance along with a deposit. She's not heard from the movers.... awww precious babies, active little fur balls all want to sleep with you.  ;D

Phyl, thanks for nests updates... DH2 looks fierce  ;D

Clynn, yes her birthday is tomorrow, Shannon loves strawberry cheesecake, strawberry and chocolate, she loves strawberries like you. She loved the color pink when she was young. Aly was the opposite, purple was her favorite color.  ;D. ... the munchkins look great! Talon always find ways to entertain himself.... love the post "What a year this week has been" .. "Bliss" ... Mike sent an letter in an email to the company first thing Thursday morning. Mike has an engineer background, and deals with cubic feet. He helped Aly, she felt she had 400, Mike thought it was more like 500. She wrote every item down in her original agreement with the company.... regarding the bears, I'll go back and show you where Kaiya fits into Shadow's family.  :) .. nice to see a post from Jerry... Oh Iris, please accept a new mate. I follow her daily.  :-*

Kb, talk about drama! LOL! Love the look from the little dog, he didn't find it a bit amusing.  ;D ... "hurricane" LOL  ;D

Oldguy, I loved "Midnight Special" takes me back...  thanks for the memories.  :)

Puff, Like Ton I'm a Sinatra fan, and listen to his channel on Sirius... thanks for After The Fledge info....

Karen, Dewey and Aly are staying at the Best Western in Medford. They allow pets. Aly is on another list for a home rental. Talons crossed. Her new boss will help her put the things she had brought with her in the U-Haul in a storage unit tomorrow. She seems to have a very nice boss. He and his wife have been very caring and anxious to help.  :) .. YAY! Your mama finch has eggs.  ;D ... I hadn't told Aly about the broken furniture. Mike told me he screwed the legs back on the table. Now that emotions are calmer, I'll tell her tomorrow. I like Clynn's book of 365 ways to do eggs  ;D

Lori, this is the Strawberry ice box cake recipe I tried, there are lots available https://cakewhiz.com/wprm_print/30900 ... love the colorful Friday posts with all the delicious goodies!  ;D

Tsk, the ice box cake was so easy. I even took time to whip the heavy cream, instead of using cool whip.... I think I'll make a Lemon ice box cake with blueberries for Mike on the 4th! ...biopsies in a week?! What biopsies? :o I'll need to go back and read  :( .. anything is good after pancakes, I pray all goes well.  :-*

I'll catch up with Tuesday thru Thursdays posts tomorrow.
I'm finally feeling settled again.  :)

Good night!

Lani, I still can't believe how rude those guys were to you and Mike. I met a couple of the guys delivering/removing the dumpsters and they were so nice! Apologized for making noise and for being 10 minutes later that they said. I am sure Mike was very calm in the email...but those guys need a reprimand. What a year this week has been is right for you too! I love the Icebox Cake recipe, nothing diet there...and you used real whipped cream! YUM! And the lemon with blueberries sounds good too!

Lisa, I can see all 7 of those little darlings on your bed! Playtime! And there are those little mountains under the blanket and sometimes they move (your legs)! Pounce! Jerry is doing very well, he swears by crypto investing, has done quite well and is now moving to Portland to this cute house:

oldguy, it sure looked like we were going to get some rain yesterday afternoon, the wind whipped up and it turned dark but nothing. Ed said it poured for a short time when he was coming back from Erin's. Like you say, it's very spotty!

Puff, it's like when the last one hasn't fledged yet, remember E2/D1 calling and calling from the nest after the others fledged? We felt so bad for her...

karen, that falcon nest is in Cromer, in Norfolk County (same county as the Norwich Cathedral nest). The chicks at Norwich did not make it so this is the focus now.

tsk, that's a good idea on the eggs, and hard boiled eggs are a quick little snack...with salt and pepper!

Raptor Resource Project - A brief but serious storm brought down the cottonwood immediately east of N1 this afternoon. No eagles or people were injured, DH2 is still in the nest, and HM and HD have both been spotted since the storm. We're keeping an eye on things and are very glad that everybirdy stayed safe through the squall.

A thousand thousand thanks to our volunteers. We're busy banding falcons right now, so they've been running cameras, chatting, and keeping everyone updated on Facebook. We couldn't do it without them or you! Talons crossed that tomorrow is a better day! Here's a picture of DH2 looking over its realm shortly after the storm, and here's a video from Tulsa. It happened quickly! https://youtu.be/5L_pdNYR544

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

64 heading to 83  sunny - Small break in the heat today.

LANI   That is a keeper of a cake. " fully loaded " LOL  Real whipped cream - Now that is love  ;) ;) ;)    Thanks for the recipe. Lots of variations possible.   Endoscopy/colonoscopy - always take samples.  ::)

CLYNN   Good for Jerry - Cute house.   Thanks for the news on RRP's report of the tree down.  That was a close one.  Must be a tree before the house?  DH2 did seem to be enjoying it however  :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANNON

Happy Caturday Beakers!
Hi Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Clynn, I love whipping heavy cream. It's quick easy and my family loves that I make the effort. I think the Lemon Oreo cookies would be perfect for the icebox cake.  ;D Mike will love that! What a cute house Jerry bought. Gorgeous landscaping.  Did he ever get a cat or dog? Shannon's a crypto investor too... sorry about the Norwich chicks  :'( . ... the storm that went through Decorah was hard to watch DH2 alone in nest. I understand why Puff was upset.  :'(  Usually one of the Decorah parents would be with the eaglets... DH2 is all the stronger after going through that storm.  :-* Thankful no one was hurt or home damaged.

Phyl, I'm worried about Aly's things as well, but I don't dare voice it. Her boss's wife invited Aly for dinner last night, but Aly needed alone time to decompress. She'll join them for brunch on Sunday. Thankfully, they are all therapists and understand... physician heal thyself! I guess  ;D ... thanks for Two Harbors pics .... Shannon would love the cake, thanks  ;D

Tsk, prayers for good results.

Tig and Camper, safe travels  :)

{{{Karen}}} I'd like to think our Diva is alive, well and has had many eaglets through the years.  :-*

Lori, Shannon would love your birthday pics, she loves labs and of course the cake is perfection!  ;D

Thank you Beakers for Shannon's birthday posts!
She's spending the day with friends at Lake Pleasant near Phoenix!

When Aly gets settled, Mike will rent a U-Haul cargo van and take her things to her, and fly home.

BBL  ;D

I am late today, as Misty has had an upset tummy all night and morning, so far that she has not even wanted to nurse the kittens.  I tried making some chicken & rice for her, but she won't eat that.  AC says, just make sure she don't get dehydrated. 

Afternoon tsk, kb, E4E and anyone I missed  :)

oldguy - Thanks for the videos from last evening. 

Lani - So glad to hear that Aly bought insurance.  I am hoping she has heard from the movers as I write this post. Oh, reading your post...no movers.  :(

Phyl - Stay cool...hope you don't have to go out in the heat.

clynn - Wow, very nice house that Jerry is buying.   That storm in Decorah yesterday was a wild one.  So sad about the tree coming down, tho. 

karen - Glad to hear you got rid of some of your eggs  ;D

Puff - Oh, that music just makes the video much more sadder!

tig - Safe travels home!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to SHANNON!!!!

Feel so bad for DH2 - keeps perching there on the edge looking forward for her someday flight.  It has to be more fun sharing the entire experience with another eaglet.  Learning to eat, learning to fly, sharing each others snuggles.  Lonely/Alone leaves a lot to be desired.
Hold on little one; your world will widen open soon.

P

Puff - Very early on I, too, was feeling sorry for DH2, but s/he's an eagle and "eagle don't care." LOL! I thought maybe I was just feeling sorry for myself because who doesn't enjoy watching 2 or 3 eaglets growing up? But DH2 has done, innately, so many "eagley" things that are just right, no matter how many siblings are, or could be, in the nest. No worries. ;)

(((Lani))) Holey Moley!  What a Year your week has been, for sure!!  :o  Strawberry Icebox Cake to the rescue!!  It looks and sounds delish, so I saved the recipe. Did you use the cheesecake or vanilla pudding flavor? It says it can be either a refrigerator cake, or a frozen cake - which way do you prefer it?  The lemon/blueberry version you mentioned sounds like a winner, too - with the lemon oreo cookies, too!

Lisa, oh no about ((Misty)) being sick. :-*   I'm so sorry.  I hope she is drinking water. Wonder what in the world... were there any new treats or foods that she tried that might have caused it possibly? I hope she recovers quickly. When my cat got extremely ill and wouldn't eat, I was able to handfeed him small spoon bites of human chicken baby food.  He didn't eat much, but he did lick it off the spoon, and my fingers, and so I was able to get very small amounts into him at a time, repeating every hour or two.  It took extreme patience, and he didn't eat it off the spoon at first, but I put a dab on his nose and "lips," and he licked it off, and then I was able to get him to lick more off the spoon, and off my fingers... worth a try. I would refrigerate the uneaten portion, and then reheat it just to room temp for the next feedings. I hope Misty gets well soon!  :-*

T40, "Both side now."  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  I have shared that with my sisters.  :D

Clynn, I loved the pics of Talon and Bella!  :-* :-*  I'm so glad DH2 stayed in the nest, and the nest stayed in its tree, and the nest tree stayed up during the storm!!  Jerry's new house looks wonderful! I wonder why he decided to move.

NR, yay for the WF ospreys back!  :-*

TSK, those pancakes must have been so yummy after your E/C!  How is Lulu doing? Has she had any new escapades lately?

Hi to Karen, Phyl, E4E, Oldguy, BL, Puff, Tig, Lori, KB, Phyl, and ALL the BEAKERS!  :D

It's 'Caturday'!

Lani - Glad that things are settling down.   I know that Mike is normally a very calm and mild person just from all the things you have shared in the Beak over the years!  Very good that Aly has a nice boss and that he & his wife are trying to help her with her stuff.  Good that Mike sent an email to that terrible non-professional company - they need to make changes in how they treat their Customers. 

Clynn - Thank you for sharing an update on Jerry!  Glad that his investing (I don't understand it) is working out well for him.  That is a very cute house that he will be moving into!
As you mentioned to Puff;  I too, remember E2/D1 squeeing from the nest - I will never forget her!
Yes - have always loved listening to the The Eagles and still love their music and listen to the 70's quite often! ;D
Happy to know DH2 is still in the nest;  that was a scary storm with terrible strong winds;  poor thing - listening to its squees. :( 

Phyl - You will have your work cut out for you when and if the time comes for you to sell your Barbie collection! :o ::)
Delicious strawberry birthday cake for Shannon!

Karen - Nice that your sprinklers are set and watering for you!
I too wonder if E2/D1 has been raising her own little ones - I sure hope so, but mostly I wish we could all know if she is safe.

Puff - I had to click on the link for E2/D1 last day in nest; it brought out my emotions again. :'( :'( :'(  I always hope she is safe and flying free. 

Lori - Love the birthday cake and puppies/pickup truck for Shannon!

Nr - Thanks for the Osprey pic!

LisaG - Hopefully Misty will start feeling better soon.  That was a good idea to make her some chicken & rice, although she didn't want it earlier, but maybe later on tonight. 

Tig - Glad you & Camper had a good week! 8)

Tsk - Bet it feels good to be enjoying your Saturday  :)

OG - Beautiful cake for Shannon!

Hi Baz!

BAZI   LULU:  Last night I was the 4 AM playground.  Chasing some toy on and off/around the bed for almost a half hour..  Unusual too is that for the first time she did not sleep with Tim - Not sure where she slept but I have added some fleece pieces to the top of the back cushions of a small blue sofa we have in the TV room as I noticed she likes sleeping there.  So to protect the furniture I added the fleece and she loves it!!  Also new piece of info.  Tim took her to get her nails cut on Wed and Tim wanted to learn how to do it so tech called in vet who promptly said " Oh a calico.  They are the worst cats ever to have their nails cut.  I have to anesthetize mine to do it!"  I said to Tim, he needs to take his cat to another vet tech.  Lulu is putty in their hands.  LOL They know what they can get away with with their owners.  Lulu for the most part does not like to be held.

TIG  Home and now back to "normal" life again.

Down and over to a big magnolia tree where they were chased by a pair of cardinals who are evidently nesting there!  Lol, what a Hoot they were. Had dinner out there as well but no sho!

Mama finch still on the nest!  I am concerned about the eggs.  Seems a long time!
Lisa, ho is Misty?  Baz, good advice!
Have a good night!

So that left another question...  why after 23 yrs living in the same house do they pay a visit? 
No doubt they liked a change of secnery.   LOL

Phyl, love the sunrise on the Flyway! Cute little gal with her flippers on... Oh my, the GSB kids are growing so fast! Anthony is getting ready, no branching in that nest!  We have those Turkey Vultures around here, I mostly see them eating roadkill. A few times I have seen a group of them lined up on a roof peak or on a water tower at Mom's.

Lani, hoping all is well with you and Mike and your girls! Hoping and praying for Aly to find a place soon!

baz, I would love to see that Strawberry Shortcake on my plate!

tsk, Erin will make it to Orlando today and Debbie made it home to O'Brien FL with the U-Haul yesterday. I am glad to be a homebody this weekend...  ;D

Lisa, hoping Misty is herself this morning...

nr, I think I see a bit of orange...a fish from the mall lake! I had your picture all ready to hit post and Phyl beat me to it! They are all looking good!

Iris and her fish yesterday:

Hi CLynn like the 'Some days..."  ;  on the Turkey vultures, they're just too pretty for their species LOL. Confounded me as no roadkill in my
back yard or retention pond. I think they may have bathed in the river below as all were 'airing' their wings .
Glad you have a rest this weekend and can enjoy your deck.
Yeah I saw that NR needed a 'hand' in her post and since I was handy I just corrected and posted for her. So glad she's posting and keeping us informed of the ospreys.

Lisa ditto CLynn, hoping Misty is doing better this AM

Lani surely some good news from Aly very soon

Sorry that I missed most of Caturday, but lots of great posts. 

Thanks for all the "feel betters" for Misty.  She seems to be feeling a lil better today.  AC had given me some new food to give her and the kittens, and what they didn't tell me is that I needed to transition her from the Mommy & Baby food to this food, and the same for the kittens.  I think the food made her sick.  I am now giving Misty what I give Bandit, and she seems to be eating this morning.  I have not given her alot, but will do small amounts thru the day.  The kittens need to be transitioned to the new food, cause they will eat that at shelter till they are adopted.

Morning karen and anyone I missed  :)

tsk - I thought the same thing when AC said, make sure she stays hydrated.  How am I gonna get this cat to drink?  Poor girl did not want to do anything, but lay down all day.  What an odd thing for the vet tech to say!

baz - Awww, Maggie.

tig - Glad you are home safe.

E4E and Lani - Thanks!

Phyl - Thanks for the link.  Thanks for the cam pics.

nr - Aww, the 2 ospreys!

clynn - Thanks, and great pic of Iris! Please tell me she has found another mate, or at least an interested one?

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

comfortable dew point today at 50.  67 heading to 79.

KAREN   Happy to hear you are enjoying your porch this summer.   :D

LANI   " Angels with whiskers"  :)

PHYL  Beautiful flyway this AM  Why do they call Turkey Vultures buzzards?  I thought this interesting...as I too was confused over the term vulture and buzzard.

"Turkey vultures are often referred to by the misnomer “buzzard.” Buzzard is what Europeans called hawks and when early Europeans began to settle in the US, they thought the large birds they saw flying were hawks and called them “buzzards.” This misnomer stuck and still today some people refer to vultures as “buzzards.”

The GSB nest box is getting smaller  LOL

CLYNN  Hope today you can relax for a bit.  Lots of extra time on your hands this week  ;) ;)

LISA  After I posted that I thought maybe you were to squirt water into her through a syringe but happy to see a bit of recovery this AM.  I remember having to transition food by just sneaking a bit of the new food into the old adding a bit more each day

Clynn, I'm glad to be a homebody today too! Happy to hear Erin/Sydney will make their trip to FL today, and all is well with Debbie and U-Haul.... Iris  :-* ....  Good News! Aly has a wonderful boss. His mother has offered her vacation log cabin to Aly for $300 a week until she finds a home.  🙏🏼

Nr, great pic from WF, thanks Phyl

Tig, awesome pics, you and Camper chill out at the most serene and scenic areas... Love the chain art eagles... the lone Loon pic would be a great puzzle, because of the reflections and ribbles in the water.  ;D

Phyl, beautiful sunrise.... the GSB Quartet are gorgeous, as well as Two Harbors eaglet... we have 3 types of vultures in Arizona, the Turkey Vulture, Black Vulture and California Condor.
We've only seen the Turkey Vulture in Northern Arizona (Scottsdale and north forest area) https://birdwatchinghq.com/vultures-in-arizona/

Phyl - I believe from your pics that those are technically Black Vultures. (https://www.tn.gov/twra/wildlife/birds/grassland-and-shrub-birds/black-vulture.html)
Adult Turkey Vultures have red heads.

As tsk mentioned in her post Vultures are not 'Buzzards'.
Buzzards are really Hawks.
A better fit for buzzard/hawk would be Buteo. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buteo#)

Phyl - I believe from your pics that those are technically Black Vultures. (https://www.tn.gov/twra/wildlife/birds/grassland-and-shrub-birds/black-vulture.html)
Adult Turkey Vultures have red heads.

As tsk mentioned in her post Vultures are not 'Buzzards'.
Buzzards are really Hawks.
A better fit for buzzard/hawk would be Buteo. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buteo#)

Wouldn't Willie have just loved all this ..  :)  ;)
 

I know this. Grew up calling them Buzzards. Thanks .

Lisa good news for Misty and the new formula  for food.

Puff been putting ice cubes in my cats water for decades, esp in warmer weather. The ice also keeps the water 'fresher'

Tig great photos from Camper, as always.  ;) Thanks.

Thanks for the nests updates from Dunrovin Ranch Osprey Harriet and Iris  at Cornell Lab, etc.

tsk, I am going to Kay's one more time, tomorrow morning. The Salvation Army will be there to pick up the last of the stuff. I plan to make a stop at Goodwill if I can get the stuff in my car! And then I have to pick up bird seed at Fleet Farm which is also on the way back from Kay's. And maybe a quick run into Walmart.

Lisa, I had to give a previous cat water with a syringe, I found that if you just release the water slowly they actually like it. In the corner of the mouth, just slide the tip in there.

phyl, Honey loves to play with ice cubes in the water, she sometimes just sits and waits for us to get the hint! I always thought buzzards and turkey vultures were the same thing until recent years. I think it was the cartoons we watched when we were kids, they always called them buzzards when they were technically vultures. Buzzards is more of a fun kid word I suppose...

Lani, the Dunrovin chicks are just a bit older than the WF chicks! Wow, Aly really does have a nice boss, that is a good thing!

Hello Beakers

A little cooler today - only 89 - just starting to get some spotty rain developing in the area.

The turkey vultures move into Iowa in the early spring and the eagles start to head north.  Most times (daylight hours) here I will see 3-5 circling on the currents as they look for something to feast on.
RRP has a link to a nest in a barn in Missouri - https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/missouri-turkey-vultures/    both eggs have now hatched...

I have not seen any black vultures here in Iowa.

Lisa - my cat loved to lick the sweat off of cold drink containers.  We would frequently put some ice cubes into his water dish - he loved it.

Fiat performing at a special event a couple of weeks ago - had a special guest help out with some dancing during her song... 8)
Queen On Street   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWMXTjGT5mU

A good night at cards - one of the regulars had her Colon inspection the week of her birthday, so we started the evening at Pizza Ranch for the Buffet to celebrate her birthday a week late...  Won 2 out 2 games.

Oldguy, Thanks for link to Turkey Vulture cam. Willi/Annie loved TVs and would post pics or videos from a farm cam too. It might have been this one. I just checked and two little fluff balls are up and about.... a good night at cards for you  :)

Clynn, love the pic of the happy mama dog with her many pups  ;D :-* ... Dunrovin chicks are adorable. I remember the old cartoons calling TV's buzzards. I always thought they were that too, until we moved to Arizona. There isn't a day that goes by that I haven't seen a TV or two flying over. Mike has seen Black Vultures in Gila Bend in the winter ... sweet pic of Karen's finches.

Tsk, Aly's new employer, his wife and his mother are therapists too.

What's the Difference Between Buzzards and Vultures?
By Michele Debczak

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/640149/buzzards-vs-vultures-what-is-difference (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/640149/buzzards-vs-vultures-what-is-difference)

“There are two names for the bald-headed birds of prey that feed on roadkill and circle lost characters in cartoons: vultures and buzzards.
At least that's the case in North America. In other parts of the world, buzzards and vultures are two different birds...
Buzzard has become a slang term for vultures in the United States, ...

So how did vultures became buzzards in America? You can blame early European colonists.
When these settlers first saw vultures flying high above them in the sky, they likely noticed a resemblance to the broad-winged,
dark-feathered birds of prey from back home. By the time they saw vultures up close and realized they weren't hawks,
 the name had already gained traction..."

Phyl, Anthony practicing again! It won't be long! Looks like a meeting of the pelicans (?) on the Flyway! Looks like the GSB kids are starting to wingersize! Phyl, we learn a lot when we all get stirred up!

Beaky Buzzard is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons.[4]
He is a young turkey vulture (sometimes called a "buzzard" in the United States) with black body feathers and a white tuft around his throat. His neck is long and thin, bending 90 degrees at an enormous Adam's apple. His neck and head are featherless, and his beak and feet are large and yellow or orange, depending on the cartoon. The character is depicted as simpleminded with drawled speech, a perpetual silly grin, and partially-closed eyes.

Lani, there is an old water tower in Mt. Carmel, IL, close to Mom's. We often see a whole gang of TV's lined up around the catwalk. Kind of like this picture.

We sat outside and watched a TV family sitting on a rocky hill, obviously their home territory. The young chicks was watching their parents soaring the skies from the rocks. Cute little buggers, wing flapping on the rocks. Many warm wishes for Erin and Sydney to have an absolute fantastic cruise!  ;D Great collage Sydney created for Erin! ... it's great to see E22 continuing to soar the skies over his home territory.  :-* ... have a good day finishing up at Kay's  :)

karen - It is like Kitties Gone Wild in here.  I came back from getting my hair colored, there was a box of kleenex on the floor.  Most of the kleenex was pulled out, and shredded and guess who the trouble maker was doing it...Miss Piper!  All the while...Angus, Daisy and Brutus were rolling around on the bed.  ::)

Lani - Oh no!!!!!  Thank you, I am glad she is, too.  Thanks for the Royal update. 

Phyl - Had a nice day at salon  :)  Thanks for the link.

Lori - Mmm, that Turtle Pie Cake looks delicious!  Congrats to Krista on her graduation!!

baz - Waving to ya!

Note: Google translation has a pronoun problem when translating from Thai to English, so it will say boy, son or brother when labeling a girl.  This makes it difficult to determine family relationships in some context.  But Fiat's band has a keyboard player named Mefa, their family name is Nong - have not be able to determine if siblings or cousins.  The rest of the band are all students at the same music school as Mefa.

PHYL  Beautiful beach sculpture honoring Normandy.  Very contemporary.  Thanks for D-Day reminder.  Really enjoyed PBS 3 part series on FDR - amazing president.  Wish history could have been taught like this in schools when I was young.  Maybe different now.  Like the 3rd pic of the nest - Certainly out in the open.

Erin asked me to thank all of you for the Birthday wishes! I texted pictures of each one to him and we called him to sing Happy Birthday! He sounded so excited about the cruise, and they won a steak dinner - perfect for his Birthday Dinner!

tsk, we probably wouldn't even recognize the schoolbooks of today!

Phyl, Anthony is looking good! My eye always goes to that big cactus on the side, wondering if anyone ever landed on it! Beautiful Normandy Beach Memorial... Sweet Good Night pic...

Lani, I just know you are like me, I cannot watch the HSUS or ASPCA commercials on tv, I change the channel... And I do give to both, just can't watch....

Lisa, oh your kitty adventures! Piper must have the same gene that Harley has. Kleenix, paper towels and toilet paper are the most fun! Harley just caught the paper towel roll sitting out yesterday, attack!

oldguy, thank you for all the good stuff! Simon & Garfunkel, so good!

Lori, so Miss Destini is all beautiful today?

Wskrsnwings - Please join us for the Season 11 finale chat on the SWFEC live stream website Friday, June 9 at 5pm, EDT.
Because of E22’s continued presence in the nest area and the uncertainty of M15’s next moves as an unmated male, The SWFEC Cameras will remain streaming until the end of June or until we lose power due to summer storms. After our farewell chat scheduled for June 9th, 5 p.m., we will pause our moderated chats and limit our panning/zooming efforts to give our volunteer team a much needed break. Once safe to remove the cameras, we will do so and perform maintenance to get all cameras back up and running. As of now, we plan to reinstall the cameras in the nest tree before the 2023-2024 nesting season and hope for a Season 12 with M15 and a new mate or another mated Eagle.

oldguy - Thanks for all the videos, much appreciated.

karen - All the other kitties were sleeping. 

tsk - The eating is going good.  Still have the one black one, who just started on the slurry, but I am making it thicker each day with less formula, so it will eat out of the bowl with the others.

E4E - Yes, Misty is feeling much better, thanks!

karen, Phyl, Lani - The tubes are doing great, and doing what they are supposed to be doing.  Thanks for asking.  :D

Lani - Beautiful good night pic. 

Phyl - Great pics from cams. Thanks for the D-Day reminder.

Lol ladies on the kleenix!  You go Piper!  What a gal and-so advanced!  Mist be a genius!
Lisa, is it Raven who is eating slurry?  Are any of them still nursing or trying to do so!
Lori, good luck to .destiny!  Spa days are special for all of us!
Og, thanks for S and G! Easy listening for a generation!  I now have their songs running thru my head.,
I do not know what is going on at the finch house!  Yesterday, for the second day, Daddy Finch stopped in for a brief visit!  He and the misses chatted and looked in the nest!  I do not see any babies but there may be some!  High nest sides, small babies and bad vantage point!   Patience!
Finally, but most importantly, thanks for the reminder of D Day, Phyl!  I actually remember it! It saved our world and lost an important part of a generation of young men!  A war on foreign soil that involved all Americans with severe rationing of everything for the war effort!  There has neverbeen that kind of support since!

Jeannie, 3F Sloth: She was found in a highly fragmented area and brought to HQ for a bloodwork analysis. We hope to take her back to the wild soon!

Sloth Preschool Updates:

Antonio, 2F Sloth: He is great, has a good appetite, and keeps gaining weight!
Coco & Geo, 2F Sloths: They will soon graduate but still need to gain some weight before they start the transition. Coco is gaining weight faster.
Roo, 2F Sloth: He has a lot of energy and is gaining weight fast. He likes to hang out with Antonio!
Robin, 3F Sloth: He's been active and seems to be trying to climb more. Remember, you can support him by donating to his CUDDLY campaign!

Coco is so hungry! ;D

CLYNN   What good timing on the steak dinner win!!      LOLOL  Richmond's personal incubation best at 36 seconds   ;D   Oh those naughty kitties.

LANI   The D-Day  then and now - impressive   Thanks for the sloth update.  Wonder who names all the kids?  I would wake up in the middle of the night and think "oh that's a cute name" and make sure it got on a list  LOL

karen - They are all still nursing.  It's like Misty is not wanting to kick them off yet.  It is Midnight who eats the slurry, but get this she will eat hard food.  AC said, some kitties might prefer one over the other and she may be that kitty. I am gonna do slurry with formula for a week and cut back on formula each time I feed. 

Lani - Thanks for the TRR updates.  Good to see Robin still there.  :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Masswatch and Jamie!!

 Go Piper! Have fun while you are young!!

Lani  tks for the D-Day 'now and then'.

Looking for a high of 79 today with rain around 9:00 this morning, a nice break from the high 80's! Looks like the cooler weather might be around for a week!  I am on my laptop until Erin gets back, the strobe lights on my PC were flashing and the main fan wasn't running so I shut it down. And I bet it's something simple!

Lani, Erin and Sydney are having a wonderful time! That is where Ed and I went for our honeymoon and we went there on a cruise in 2007. There is a rum liquor there we love called Nassau Royale, Erin was going to get a bottle for us but they discontinued making it in 2019 for no apparent reason... I just checked the osprey nests in Estonia, both are empty...  The pictures of the beach at Normandy were haunting... Hard to imagine being there on that day.

Phyl, thanks for the info on D-Day. Anthony looks great in color! The Flyway looks a bit dreary this moorning.

karen, I bet there are little ones in your finch nest! Maybe you could arrange to get a cam installed so we can see them next year! LOL!

Erin and Sydney

GOOD MORNING ALL

58  cloudy heading to 73 and sunny.  Certainly more spring like weather.

PHYL  Not BBQ.  Was catered Mexican!  It had really turned cool for eating outside so had switched to jeans a sweater and a jacket  LOL  Everyone wanted coffee - not!  About 70 brave souls showed up.  ;)    Hope you feel better today. 

LANI   Oh.   Cool named after rescuers.  Nice honor.

CLYNN  As always - wonderful cheery pics to start the day.   Didn't know ( or likely forgot  LOL) that Erin and Sidney were heading to the Bahamas, replicating your honeymoon.  Love Sidney's dress.     HUGE  ship.   We went to St Thomas and St Croix for our honeymoon.  A possible suitor for Iris?

Off to annual eye check - I know I need new lenses again.

CLynn  Yes. I thought  'the flyaway' look  dreary too.  Nice photos from Erin/Sydney, the Munchkins are gonna be all over them when they return  :); tks for Hellgate update---is 'visitor' gonna be a 'suitor'?  Is Iris late on her return   :-\

Tsk LOL, I'm fine. I was speaking of  the electrical 'black out'.  Thanks though.   Mexican,  'South of the Border'  fare  is always tasty. Jim's been 'hinting'. Think I'll make some more salsa.
Even in The South, it's always cool-ish in the evenings up into Summertime.


Jim off at Noon today. He'll want to finish trimming 'willow park' in the back .  BBL

tsk - How nice the church sponsored "volunteer appreciation" dinner. Hope you enjoyed it. Good luck at eye docs. 

Phyl - Those kitties were having fun while they are young at 2am...jumping all over the bed and me!   ;D ;D Pretty Happy Wednesday pic.  Thanks for cam pic. 

Lani - Another beautiful good night pic.

Lisa - I suspect so too! ;)
8 weeks is such an arbitrary goal I think.

I got Ollie man at 8 weeks but his history was determinate.
They were shooting feral dogs out there at the Rez and rescue groups were frantically trying to save the puppies.

I adopted him already neutered, vaccinated etc. at a young 8 weeks old....personally I don't think that's right but his circumstances required it.

Hang in there, you two are doing yeoman's work...

This is so funny....involves a flying squirrel.....who stars in a Fake Crime scene....

Been a miserable 5 weeks...
May has been the driest month for us in decades...Farmers are now very concerned..After an historic snow fall winter the topsoil is now fried..even down several inches.

For me gardening is a hobby....my hobby. For some here it's fishing, playing cards, or whatever...
Many perennials have not bloomed for me this year, I assume even though I water all the time it might have something to do with our now 3 years in a row of drought conditions.
I've spent over 2 decades with this labor of love and it's expensive too.

Every morning I spend 4-5 hours watering, weeding, etc....I end up dirty, sweaty, and covered in bug spray.

Can't even sit outside and enjoy what do have by noon.

Oh, and we've had polluted smokey air on and off for 5 weeks...
I guess Canada does NOT fight their forest fires...

So surprising this spring has been and disappointing as well

Seal Island Puffin Burrow Cam - Millie returns after a long sojourn away from the nest!
Just in time, as dad Willie left 7 hours ago for food, after a long time on nesting duties.  :-*

(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/088fb97ebb4fb6784175989a8662f8f2ddc102092e1dee4decc3381cd4255297.jpg?w=480&h=230)

Audubon Celeste (mod) post
It has been a blustery week on Seal Island! Our puffins are handling the weirdly inclement weather by floating on the sea, or else staying in their burrows to incubate eggs. By now, many of the Seal Island puffin burrows contain in them an egg—including, of course, Willie and Millie’s burrow #59.

There was concern in the chat last week about Millie’s long absence from the burrow, and understandably so. The Seal Island team and I discussed the extended sojourn briefly before I left the island (sigh!) and we agreed it could be a harbinger for a strange and maybe tough season, forage-fish wise.
However- seabirds are remarkably adaptive animals. Their bodies are built for harsh climates, for long periods on open ocean, and for hunting far below the surface of the water. Millie’s extended absence and Willie’s unwavering time with the egg is a testament to the resilience of the puffins. These birds determinedly remain on their eggs for days, forgoing food for the sake of continuing the puffin lineage. When we start seeing pufflings hatch in the burrows, it’ll be all the more imperative for the puffins to find and bring back food for their young.
This week, let's keep our puffins in mind as they forage, dive, and search for food. It can be tough out there for a puffin, but these little birds and their colorful bills are tough as the granite rocks they loaf on!

Willie exits from the old entrance near #789.

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Blschue, Lilbro, 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 and All!

We've continued to have early morning temps of mid-high 40's, it's very unusual to be this cold this time of year. High will be 78 today.
Well, at least we don't have to have the AC on.

Kb, that flying squirrel! LOL!!  ;D... {{{hugs}}}  :-*

Tsk, 70 for your appreciation dinner is a good sign that everyone was ready for a party. LOL! They just want to get out whether chilly or not...  good luck with eye appt. I need new glasses too. I missed last fall's checkup, between Mike's physical problems and Aly's graduation I just forgot.

Clynn,talons crossed with the pc...  wonderful photo of Erin and Sydney! They've gotten some sun and look very happy. Love her outfit.  ;D... lots of prayers from the Hellgate watchers for Iris to accept this new male. Everyone wishes he would just bring her a fish. She's been begging him for food as a sign of loyalty to her.

Phyl, thanks for interesting article from LiveScience... Hellgate Osprey Iris arrived in early April.... Hellgate chatters are praying she will accept a new mate this year, as her old mate Louis has another mate and nest nearby that he is loyal to. He just visits to dominate her and steal her fish....  Iris has given up three eggs (Louis) this season to the ravens. Since she cannot tend to eggs and feed herself at the same time, she is willing to sacrifice her eggs to the ravens and crows. So we pray she will accept this new male, everyone wishes he would bring her fish as a sign of hope for a mate for her.

Hello Beakers

A cool off today - high of 79 with dew point down to low 40s  :o

Kilauea Volcano started active fountains this am - about a dozen of them scattered over the crater floor.  This was preceeded by about 1 week of quakes in the area.

Got my lawn mowed early this morning while it was cool - 2 weeks since last mow - the rainfall of the past week has not been enough to keep it growing.  We only got sprinkles out of yesterday's spotty rain.

The Queen on Street Band has been improving a lot over the past 5 months.  Todays video is long (1:27:39), but shows how good they are.  The members were introduced - Fiat and the drummer and Bass player are 13, the keyboard player(Mefa) is 10.   Fiat just celebrated her 14th birthday over the past weekend.  I did not count the number of songs played, but if averge song was 3 minuites, it would be 30 songs.  There was few stops between songs for talking - no one had devices to refer to for music/lyrics.  I was impressed at the skill of Mefa - most noticable in the last 30 minutes of the video.  So, sit back and enjoy this concert...

Lisa you mentioned all the kitty krazieness was going on while  you were gone to the hair salon yesterday  that's what was my reference. LOL
I'm sure the kittens will be with you a while longer.  You're gonna miss them.

Tsk what's the verdict on your eyeballs?

Lani tks for update on Millie  & Willie, been following them off and on what a pair  :-* ;  I have about 8 threads I attend to, so I had a 'moment' of confusion with Iris.  Tks for quick update.

E4E Jim will be home at 10am tomorrow with a check in at work 6:15am.  When he gets home he has a choice of helping me w/chores or running errands.

CLynn looking forward to the cruise photos

OG it's been so dry here lately, Jim will not morw this week. But he trimmed up 'willow park'.   
Kilauea Volcano  made the national news segment on FNC this AM

KB flying squirrel faking crime scene---LOL

Dinner's about ready:  homemade meatballs w/ whole wheat/whole grain spaghetti, tomato /basil sauce; romaine and spinach salad w/ olive oil vingergret, vino and Peroni, of course!

BL, Aqualung orchestra, very different!

Phyl, we were to get some rain yesterday,  the radar showed it the green right on us, but poof! it turned north and we got 11 drops. Anthony is getting those wings up! A coke float, I remember them as a weekend treat when we were kids...great on a hot afternoon!

tsk, did you have a good time with the girls last night?  I love girl get togethers, mine are when I go home to Mom' and see my old high school friends. Did you and your girlfriends meet at school? We are supposed to get some rain this weekend too!

Erin sent a couple pics:

bed pillows for 'sweet dreams'.    Tiger cub and mom, such a sweet photo.  Tks for Hellgate Osprey, yes cute caption.
The smoke fallout from our 'neighbor' Canada is at the danger level. And, down South we're keeping tabs and watching the skies. In Nashville, located in the Cumberland Basin, all the 'junk' settles and stays. They say the KN95 masks will help in this...I have loads in a closet.

Good Morning Beakers

54 heading to 73 and sunny - blessed with another beautiful day  ;D

OLDGUY   Very talented kids - they must all play by ear...Amazing group

EAGLES  You were pretty chilly yesterday!!

PHYL  New lenses.  ;) ;)  My astigmatism "axis " has changed - whatever that means LOL   A Coke float - I prefer root beer.  ;) ;)  Fun night out as always.  Ate outside - beautiful day.

CLYNN   Very cool ship pics.  Impressive.  Love the towel creation.  :)   My SIL Barb did not work after she had her son so met a whole bunch of friends that way.  I worked and joined the group a bit later.  So I've known this group 37 years now.  Two more gals came on later and one dropped out over the years.  We all used to live in this town but now 3 have moved out of the 7 of us.  I know none of my high school friends as that all happened in Milwaukee and I moved to Chicago after college to work.   So Iris's new friend is still hanging around...sure hope this works for her.

KAREN  Are you settling in on one primary caregiver now?

Over 400 fires burned in Canada, and blazes this year have already scorched roughly 9.8 million acres of forest — more than 10 times the acreage that had burned by this time last year, officials say — sending smoke billowing down the east coast of the United States, from New York past Washington, D.C., and as far west as Minnesota.

Good morning Beakers!  Thanks for the cheery morning greetings! Love sun flowers! Next year I am planting some!   How is that for optimism!
Pt is fine!  No complaints about it but I am still pretty much toed to the walker!    Believe my continued bouts with dizziness and leg muscle weakness are the culprit!  I am going to the ent md this afternoon and hope to find the source of the first and a possible cure! The legs will just take more time and effort on my part!
Tsk, I have 2  hh workers.  For many reasons they drive me crazy!  I feel like a social worker when they are here!   Instead of getting paid, i pay!  Lol
Mama. Finch still on the nest.  Not sure about this!   Have read all about it in my trusty Cornell bird site and still no answers!  Time will tell !
Erins photos are very interesting!   Subjects more fun than the usual palm tree shots!  Thanks!
Tsk, my high school friends all abandon Chicago and our girls day out became 3 or 4 days visiting at different places around the country.  Great fun but probably  no ow at an end due to age related issues!   Actually two gals remained in the house and Chicago area.  One has since died? 
I worry about the wildlife in  Canada!  Death and destruction of nets and breeding areas!  Absolutely heartbreaking!  Clynn, thanks for the article!  A great need for climate control!
Iris needs to get serious about the new  guy! e 22 finally left home a few days ago!
 74 at waking up time today going to 94! Summer time!
Hope the kitties are good !

I started this post early this morning, and keep getting sidetracked. 

Thank goodness for a somewhat cool morning, even thought it is very hazy and smoky looking outside from the Canada wildfires.  I had the HVAC people here yesterday doing a yearly maintenance on my AC, as I didn't feel my thermostat was working correctly.  While they were here they cleaned the coils on my unit.  They left about 2pm and told me they set it to 72°, and that it should take some of the stuffiness and humidity out of the house.  I was like ok.  So, a lil before 4pm, I was like, hmmm I don't feel the AC anymore.  I got up and went to look at thermostat and it was not even on.  I pressed the power button...nope would not come on.  Called them back, and they came out...went to check the unit and when they cleaned the coils water supposedly got on the blower motor and cause a short and it is now broken!  All I know is its going to be 80° today, and someone better get me a part.   :D

E4E - Thank you, you are too sweet.  :)

Phyl - I am definitely going to miss these kitties!  Mmm, loved Coke floats.  Thanks for cam pics.

karen - Hope all is going well with HH and PT!  Kitties are good...they go for another round of vaccines today. 

Lani - How is Aly making out?

BrokenLug - Thanks for the tunes.

clynn - They kitty craziness is cute, till you get scratched up.  ;D ;D  Aww, such a cute cub. 
Oh, I see Iris' potential suitor is in the nest with her?  Great pics from Erin!

tsk - Are you keeping the frames and just getting new lens? 

Puff - I heard that static too.  I wonder if they are trying to get the sound working again at N1.  You can hear the static, but no squees from DH2.

kb - Morning  :)

I cut it back. Will see...
Mowed and am sprinkling.

Post by: LisaG1967 on June 08, 2023, 01:28:37 PM

Kb - I know!  Jeff was like how can you do maintenance and then something breaks.  I am like I don't know.  They just left and replaced the blower motor part.  Thankfully, we have had a nice breeze today and it has not got over 73, and not the 80 they predicted.  I do see a temp on the thermostat, so waiting to see if it kicks on.  They said, it was working. 

tig - Sorry about your plants.  I bought two hanging pots, and paid $25 a piece for them and they look like they are dying, but I water them every other day.  I have no idea what kind they are, but the flowers were pretty.

I prefer rootbeer floats, too. My parents called them 'Black Cows'. It's a generational 'thing'  I suppose. Fill a mug with vanilla ice cream and pour the rootbeer over add a straw and icedtea spoon.   ;)
 Glad you had a good time.

CLynn tks for links.  It's all about land management---Canada and Californina do a 'poor' job of this. And, this is the result.   None of them give a 'flip' about the wildlife I wager!    >:(


KB leopard cub   :-* :-* :-*

Hi Karen good luck w/ the vertigo treatment. I'll have mine for life. I do Cauthorn exercises.  Odd deal...they tell us not to drink wine and the like as it makes it worse. LOL Eases mine up. Go figure.  ;D

Lisa Glad to read that the HAVAC is repaird and working. However, I doubt those 'fellas' knew what they were doing.   
  Wow! photos for the website, chipped and jabbed and all . Time's getting close.  I hope those abopting the kittens know what sweethearts they'er getting. And, esp be kind, loving and nuturing and above all 'committed' to relationship!

Tig  :(  about your plants. We invest alot into them and then that happends.   Tell Camper his photos are great. Thank him for me  ;)  Esp luv the chipmunks and the bald eagle totem. 
This past  spring there was a huge snake the traveled their tunnels and ate every single one of them. I know! I saw the huge  demon dragging his over fed tube long my garden behind the roses.  It kept eyeing me and I stood still  eyeing 'it' back. I had my dad's shovel...should have place a quick blow right behind the head. Wouldn't have save my chipmunks. But, that *&^$# snake would have had it's last meal. It's markings signifed it was posionous.  Instead I erred on the side of caution---stayed still and let it pass.

On hanging plants...
Our plants mostly come from nursuries in the Omaha area - not much black dirt in the area.  Most of our larger flowers come potted in peat moss - this has very little water retension.  So we have to water hanging pots and the pots larger than a quart size twice daily to keep them healthy.  The small 6-pack sets have real soil - they get a lite watering once a day.  During week of 90+ days we were tossing out up to 100 plants per day because pots could not retain enough water to make it thru the day in the sun.

I always remove them, purchase potted plant liners and add good soil like miracle grow potting mix....and hang in a different open wired hanger...

Over 400 fires burned in Canada, and blazes this year have already scorched roughly 9.8 million acres of forest — more than 10 times the acreage that had burned by this time last year, officials say — sending smoke billowing down the east coast of the United States, from New York past Washington, D.C., and as far west as Minnesota.

The smoke here in North NJ yesterday 6/7 was absolutely brutal !   :o
Pip & I stayed in most of the day with the AC on and when we did venture out we had our KN95's on for sure.

The view out our windows yesterday afternoon looked exactly like this video of NYC.
Apocalyptic looking, the outside lights came on at 2pm, the sensor thought it was nighttime.   ::) 
This is the worst smoke I've ever seen in the Tri-State area ..

-EDIT TO ADD-
Wish I had put eyeball protection higher on the outdoor list. My bad. I know better.
Pip & I eyes look like we were at a Grateful Dead concert for 27 years straight.

Lani - How is the family and are you still planting/working out in your yard?
Tig - The longest I will go without watering an outdoor potted plant is one or two days (unless it rains) ;)  I know I can't over water, as all the pots drain at the bottom. ;D
Clynn - Have you been enjoying your new enclosed porch area? :)

Beakers have a good night.

Clynn, fun pics from Erin, especially towel animal made for guests ... sweet mama tiger/cub... terrible  fires, loss of wildlife, prayers for all involved.  :(

Kb, adorable baby cub ... I do the same with my plants too.

Karen, I hope your ent md appt helped the vertigo. Safe travels for E22.

Lisa, glad AC repaired ... I bet kittens were tired after their visit at the AC. I can't believe how fast time is going by for the little sweeties.  :-*... geez, they are spaying and neutering pretty early aren't they. They didn't do that with Misty.

Tig, gorgeous eagle, Camper takes great pics, especially little bird nest boxes over water.

I'm having trouble with my keyboard letters stopping mid typing.  I changed battery but. that isn't  the problem.  ???

Tsk, yummy dinner

Phyl, pretty sunset pic

Oldguy, thanks for plant info ...Maru  ;D

Puff, thanks for ATF update. you're super  :-*

BL, terrible smoke situation.  :(

Eagles, We're busy, but fine. I went to a new dentist this morning. Our former dentist moved to the valley. I think I'm going to like her and her staff. I'm having trouble typing on this keyboard. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the forum. It's taking me forever to type this post without errors.  :(
I'll update you tomorrow in a pm.

Lani, I am totally in sympathy with you and your technical issues. I like my laptop for emergencies or when I need to look up something while I am watching tv but not for regular use! And I am having to use it all week until Erin gets back! I just can't get comfortable with the feel of the keyboard. I either hit two keys at a time or don't hit a key hard enough and have to go back and add letters!  ::) ::)

E4E, yes, we are enjoying the enclosed deck! I open the sliding door in the morning while it is cool and the cats are ready to go out and investigate! I sat out there when it was raining the other day and it was nice! I can leave the cushions on the chairs!

BL, I feel bad for you East Coasters, it looks awful. It seems that here in Central IA we are just on the outside of the worst. My heart aches for the wildlife...   https://datacentral.press-citizen.com/fires/

Phyl, interesting article on the NCL clouds, I had never heard of them before, and now they are being seen more often due to climate issues...  Good news on the cancer pill! Anthony will be ready soon. Wonder if it is considered branching if he lands on that rock!

Lisa, how are those babies this morning? I need to take Honey to see the vet today, she just isn't herself the last few days and seems to have lost some weight...

Ospreys in our WF nest!

HI BEAKERS

54 heading to 78 and sunny

OLDGUY  That is very interesting about the potted plants.  I find here that many of the plants are already root bound so the water just goes right through.

BL  Too bad you are not on one of your adventures down south.  That time lapse was amazing.   Take care.

LANI  My keyboard is so old I have had to make new letters on some keys so Tim knows what is what LOL  ::) ::)

PHYL  Cute AM pic  :)    Progress in medicine is always good to see.  Lot's has improved in our generation. ;)

CLYNN   I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying your new enclosed area.   Listening to the rain is great.  Honey and Harley are adjusting  ;D  Hope all is well with Honey.  :-\   Erin and Sidney make such a cute couple.  What a celebration cake  :o :o

Off to the botanic gardens this AM - One of our favorite places.

Good Morning Beakers! 
Bl, I sympathize with you on the smoke!   A few years ago there were fires in the Georgia swamps that burned for months!  Also fires in.Florida.  Smoke from both areas came here! Ash falling allover!  ( kb, must not have good forest management here either!). A local friend of mines husband was the  sheriff told me about his experience visiting the area after it appeared the fire was out!  It turned out that while the flames were no longer shooting up, the ground and under ground was still burning!  Deer were walking there in their confusion and all had to be shot!   Their feet were burned and after talking to the wildlife authorities and vets this was the only humane option available!   The clean up of the areas was rife with animal carcasses too! In view of the devastation, I will take a little smoke!

Tsk , your dinner sounded great!   If I was closer i would have crashed your party!  Enjoy the gardens!

Clynn, hope your Kitty gets a good report !  Screened decks/porches are great!  I too enjoy sitting out there in the rain!   The other day I had a large lizard visitor!   An inch around at mid point and about 6 inches long, plus the long tail!    Brown  and orange.  Have to look this up!   Not my normal Mr. gecco

Og, thanks for the plant info!
Kb, what happened to the towers?  They would be a pleasant diversion
for you from the weather!

kb - Thanks for the tip on the potted plant liner.  I have never used one of those, but next year I will look and give it a try. 

BrokenLug - I know I was not as hazy and smoky as you, but yes it was terrible yesterday.  Today is much better. 

E4E - Thanks for the hug.  Yea, I think I am going to have a hard time letting them go.  I keep saying to Jeff everyday....are you sure you don't want to keep them?

Lani - Kittens were very tired after their visit.  They slept hard.  Yea, I am still baffled as to why Misty didn't get spayed, and the only answer I get is that she escaped before they could do it. 

Phyl - Great cam pics!

clynn - Kitties are good this morning.  I hope all is OK with  Honey!  Wow, that is some cake, and great pic of Erin & Sydney.

tsk - Enjoy the gardens.

karen - Your large lizard sound like a skink.  We have one that color and we call it Godzilla.   ;D

Phyl, nice pics of Anthony. I've checked the system preferences > keyboard, it seems to be at the right setting, then rebooted my computer. I need to keep reading online suggestions.

Clynn, letters are either sticking when I type or repeating itself. I make it worse when I try to use backspace key for corrections.  :-\... sweet WF chicks  :-*  ....sorry about Honey, I hope it isn't serious.  :(... Erin and Sydney look so happy and relaxed, beautiful couple ... yummy fun cake! ... gosh makes me want to go on a cruise. LOL!

Tsk, looking forward to the botanical garden pics, they are always beautiful.

Kb, Karen reminded me of the Towers. Yes, have they been around?

Karen, We have lizards galore here. What I hate the most is finding a lizard tail in the house. Which means one of the cats brought in a lizard, so where's the body?  :-\

Lisa, well Misty was older than kittens are now. I'm still mystified why they would send her to a foster home before getting spayed, but they put a chip in her. I'm sorry I don't like your AC. But, I understand you have no choice but to give up the kittens. Glad they are doing well today.  :-* ... Can you adopt Piper and send her to Karen? ;D

I just took this, it's Iris on the right, she's chatting to her silent suitor! It's been going on like that for 20 minutes. LOL!
He's replying with quiet chirps now. She's accepted him, he just needs to bring home the fish  :-* ... I'm so happy to see Iris not alone.  :-*

No, the Towers haven't been around.....one possibility is that they are tending to their children still..and then on vacation....I don't typically see them this time of year.

Looking back at pictures I have of them in both 2021 and 2022 I don't see them till late August...
All through the fall and winter then I see them.

I don't recall seeing them much last winter, but it was historic snow and ice....which of course made me very very busy as well.

I'll see red tails come July this year probably, followed by the Towers in late August...

{{{CLynn}}}  so sad to read about Honey. Poor baby.  Sure hope the Vet can help.  Pets/kisses from me. Purrs from Maggie.  Tks for photo update on WF osprey nest. Can see those little hatchlings.  :-*
Nice photos of Erin/Sydney. Tks for reminder on World Ocean Day.   Hope all the keyboard issues you/Lani are having are
resolved ---soon.

Tks same here with the potted plants for decoration---more than root bound. I've been using the same wireless keyboard for 10yrs. I think my
probs are the arthritis. Just can't wrap my mind around the hand surgery that lies ahead.   Looking forward to your snaps of the botanical gardens. Been
along time since we visited ours here.

KB It will rain again.  Was gonna ask about The Towers. But,  just read you post above on The Towers. Thanks.

Lisa  our skies are clearer today, too. I don't think we'll see any more 'junk' in the ski other than the the everyday  trapped pollen and smog .
We have a resident family of skinks that live in our crawl space---black w/ yellow strip. About this time of year they make their appearance, keeping the bugs in check.

{{{Lani}}} that is the corniest look on the lamb. LOL  Hope you keyboard/PC  issues resolve soon. Thank you for keeping Dan and Danny on the prayer list. Each is status quo and that's alot to be grateful for giving what's going on. And, last not least, for keeping Jim and I on the list too.   :-*

It's already too hot to stay outside working.

I did drop some soil on my boulevard that develops patches of no grass.  3 very heavy large bags.

It was after they had to replace my gas line....took them close to 12 hours and now I think they used drilling sand...after a few years it appears sand is coming out of the boulevard....ugg....not great to just throw some seed combo down after they did it and expect to grow my grass back.

Contemplating babying it back to life?..if ever with soil and seed or ripping it all out and planting perennials and mulching...it's about 4 feet wide in front of my arbors and oh 25-30 feet long. Maybe mostly mulch if things aren't growing well, LOL

lilbro would know what they used I imagine...it's just a guess on my part as they drilled way into the night/dark in a November...

CLynn thanks for the great news from Hellgate FB. Wonderful photo of Iris and 'visitor'---he looks as if to say 'Well? What do you think? You and me.".
Yes! A fish would seal the 'deal'. Gonna be some  'exciting'  times ahead  for us all.

Hello Beakers

A nice day again today - now 80 and heading to 82 - partly cloudy and light breeze - low this morning was 50 with dew point of 41.  the next week has highs in the mid 80s but the dew points will stay in the 50s.  Showing possible rain this weekend.

I started using backlighted key boards several years ago - love them - here is what I currently have...

Phyl - That is where our resident skinks live too, in my crawl space and under my cement steps.

Clynn, yes, I posted the great news too about Iris and her new beau. She has accepted him. I'm so happy she's not alone. She's been spending more time at the nest now, preening and relaxing.  :-*

Karen, everyone has been watching him 24/7 since he arrived May 7th, and he hasn't brought Iris a fish. But, he's been helping with nestoration this past week or more. They feel he's a young osprey who likes seasoned women.  ;D

kb, thanks for your thoughts on the Towers.... good ideas about the patch in front of the arbor.

Lisa, I have no idea where the lizard's body is, only Milo and Norman know, and they're not saying!  :o

Oldguy, interesting keyboard  ;D

Tsk, beautiful flowers and butterfly.... Mike would enjoy a grilled hot dog. I'd love the garden and Mike would be munching on a hot dog.  ;D

and no, they don't fight their forest fires unless they are protecting humans/structures.


3 weeks ago Minnesota had some of the worst air on the planet....and of course the East Coast for a few days this week....
Looks like we will have smoke in Minnesota for the next 5 months.

I do wonder now if the fires are affecting our weather in MN........no rain in sight other than a slim chance tomorrow for the next 10 days...

Anyone know?

Lani,I loved reading your post yesterday about Iris and her new Beau, that is why I checked today, just to see if she was still being nice to the guy, and she was! It's a good, wonderful sign and I hope they can bond this summer and both return next April! We want little ones in that nest again, it's been too long!  SP looks so fat and sassy in the pic you posted, and still like a big cottonball with a beak!  Oh my gosh, that baby and the birthday cake, so happy! Remember Bella's first bithday...

And this article about the fires: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-did-the-wildfires-in-canada-start-cause-nova-scotia-quebec/
I think that the firefighters are overwhelmed, thank God they are getting help. I am sure they focus on fires that threaten life before they go to a wilderness area.

And no Canada hasn't attended to their forests for years....controlled burns, etc...authors suggested this would happen because of that years ago.

Overcast & gray until about 11:00am, then we warmed up to 68!

Phyl - Nice cam pics at Two Harbors BE nest  :)

Clynn - Your enclosed porch is probably the most popular place in your household now! ;D  That is so wonderful that you can sit out there during rainy days and be able to leave the pillows there! ;D    I hope Honey was feeling a lil bit better today.   Love the pic of Sydney & Erin - great looking couple, and I bet they had a fantastic trip! 8)

LisaG - If Jeff agrees to it, would you keep Misty and the kittens?  If so, the AC should be very reasonable with you guys!

Karen & LisaG - That is a really neat looking lizard!

Lani - It seems that things might be looking up for Iris!   Uh Oh - Milo & Norman only know what has happened to lizards brought in. ::) :-\

Kb - Understandable about not seeing the Towers.  A lot of circumstances, season of the year and weather have more than likely played a part in their appearances.  Hopefully sometime in the future, Tower will appear again - we will see later on . . . . .

OG - Happy for you in having a nice weather day  :)   We had a nice day at 68 deg., which they say is 10 degrees lower than normal for this time of year!

Tsk - What a lovely picture at the Botanical Gardens!   Bummer about having a rough time at posting pics. >:(   Glad you had a wonderful day at the Botanicals and lunch sounded yummy - I love hotdogs!

Kb - Hopefully you won't have smoke for the next 5 months.  I think they are coming up with a plan;  I watch the today show with Al Roker giving the weather report.    I know it does not seem like it, but your area will have rain again - it just may be a while. :-[ ???

Clynn - Oh my goodness, looking at Bella's 1st birthday - she has come a long way since then! Lol! :-*

Puff - Just saying hi and I know you are a busy person!

Tig - How are things in your neck of the woods? :)

Beakers have a good night.

Good Morning Beakers! 
Bl, I sympathize with you on the smoke!   A few years ago there were fires in the Georgia swamps that burned for months!  Also fires in.Florida.  Smoke from both areas came here! Ash falling allover!  ( kb, must not have good forest management here either!). A local friend of mines husband was the  sheriff told me about his experience visiting the area after it appeared the fire was out!  It turned out that while the flames were no longer shooting up, the ground and under ground was still burning!  Deer were walking there in their confusion and all had to be shot!   Their feet were burned and after talking to the wildlife authorities and vets this was the only humane option available!   The clean up of the areas was rife with animal carcasses too! In view of the devastation, I will take a little smoke!

Tsk , your dinner sounded great!   If I was closer i would have crashed your party!  Enjoy the gardens!

Clynn, hope your Kitty gets a good report !  Screened decks/porches are great!  I too enjoy sitting out there in the rain!   The other day I had a large lizard visitor!   An inch around at mid point and about 6 inches long, plus the long tail!    Brown  and orange.  Have to look this up!   Not my normal Mr. gecco

Og, thanks for the plant info!
Kb, what happened to the towers?  They would be a pleasant diversion
for you from the weather!

Karen, your lizard visitor sounds like it was likely a mature male broadhead skink! They are striking!  I have them here, too, and they are fun to watch! The young and females are totally different... You might enjoy reading this, and looking to see if it looks like your lizard visitor.  :)

Howdy Beakers! Waving to All!  :)

I got back home late last night from several days out of town. Enjoyed it, but our planned hike was waylayed to a future date because the day we planned to hike was a Code Red air quality day - not recommended to do anything outside for long, even for healthy people... and also got some rain off and on that same day. That rain helped with the smoke from the eastern Canada fires the next day though - which was rated an Orange air quality day, instead of a Red air quality day. Still not recommended for extended periods outdoors, though, or for exercise or strenous work outside, so we ditched the hike that day, too. Another time... We had a good Red Code/rain day anyway - binged on some movies we had wanted to see that were available on TV or streaming, and cooked up a storm of yummy food. Yikes!  ;) The next day, the Code Orange day, we decided to scout a killer great thrift shop - trouble! I managed to get out of there with only 2 things, but took one of them back the next day, as a donation return. LOL. It's a non-profit place, and all sales are final. I was happy to give it back for someone else to take home.  ;D  It took major willpower not to drag a bunch of stuff out the door with me. LOL. Clynn, that place would be Trouble! for your Ed. Good stuff there!!!  ;) :D Then we went to a killer old time grill and enjoyed the very best BLT I have ever eaten - the place is famous for theirs, and it lived up to the hype. Yum! Then we decided to go to the Botanical Garden to walk it off a bit, and just spend 30 minutes, no more, walking around the blooming gardens around the Visitor Center and didn't do anything strenuous outdoors, and then spent some time inside there looking at some of the displays and getting "educated."  Very nice. A good time was had by all.  :)

Zippo is up late! So I need to put her to bed now - we needed to do some extra snuggling time since I was away a few days.  ;) :-*

BTW, I am overjoyed that Iris seems to have a new suitor. Talons crossed!!!  :-* :-* :-*

Goodnight Beakers. SED.

BL, I think every place has its woes...

Lani, yes, it sure doesn't seem like Bella should be starting school this year... I am so keeping my fingers crossed for Iris and the new man! Hopefully Louis finally gave up bothering her and trying to steal her fish! Thinking of the lizard's body, I remember many years ago when my first husband and I lived in the country. When we moved there were 4 dried up mice under the fidge...  ::) :o

baz, sounds like you and your friends found great ways to have fun despite the bad air, I think that is great!  You just have to roll with it, complaining wouldn't have helped a bit and you would have just been unhappy! Was Zippo glad to see you?

E4E, Honey is the same, not bad but off. I could have dropped her off at the vet yesterday and they would have gotten to her when they could but she would have been there possibly all day and I didn't want that. So we have an appointment at noon Monday.

SF Bay Ospreys - Rosie brought nesting materials and spent a little time nestorating this morning. There have been at least two instances of copulation today, which has not been seen since shortly after the second egg was laid. And both Rosie and Richmond (in photo) are back to sharing incubation duties (of the non-viable first egg), as well as chasing or being chased by Ravens. (Note: the chick that hatched did not make it, so no chicks this year...) (unless there is a miraculous 2nd clutch).

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

64 heading to 84 with rain moving in - hopefully by 4 AM.

BAZI   You sure did make the best of it with the air quality being so bad.   LOL on the second thought at the thrift shop LOL.  Nice to get away.  Do you have someone come in and visit/feed Zippo while away?

CLYNN   4 dried up mice under the frig  :o    Great shot of Iris's new friend  :)   Sad for Richmond and Rosie  :(

Morning kb and all  :)

Phyl - Pretty pic from the Lesser Flamingos at Kamfers Dam.

E4E - You have such nice temps.  I would love a 65/70 temp all the time.   Oh, we are keeping and adopting Misty, that was all part of the deal when I signed up to foster to adopt.  And, believe me, AC asks me every time I bring the kitties up there for shots/vaccines, or if I need supplies....are you sure you don't want to keep them all? I did find out that once they are spay/neutered their pics will be on their Facebook page, but if any of my friends wants to put in an application for one ahead of time, they can.  They just have to put on the application Misty's kittens, and put the name or describe which one they are interested in. 

baz - Sounds like you enjoyed your time away, even tho you didn't get to do your hike. 

Lani - Sweet good night pic.  How is Aly??

clynn - Praying all is ok with Honey. Good luck on Monday.  Love the pic of Iris' newest nest guard ready for duty! So sad for R&R!

tsk - Aww, love the pic of Lulu.  Those pink flowers are pretty!

Lisa, cute KIT-TEA! Honey is sleeping in one of her kitty beds on the deck. She loves to be out there! Harley is so skittish, he is still a bit afraid and on alert when he is out there... Facebook has been a wonderful thing for the pet adoption places, who can resist those sweet little faces!

kb, love the cat trying to catch the salmon! Great murmurations!

tsk, loved your pictures from the Botanical Center yesterday! I bet it smells wonderful!

Phyl, our high today will be 75, likely some rain off/on all day starting around 11:00. We shall see...

KB   Didn't know they had that kind of costume for zebra caregivers.  makes sense tho - Eagle face glove to feed babies.  Birds and sheep "live art"

LISA  a petunia...Tim's nephew and wife have 5 cats, a dog , 4 yr old twin girls and a 17 month old little girl  LOL  They've outgrown the house they are renting and now that student loan is paid off are saving for down payment to build a home on land they bought years ago.

CLYNN  E22 is a real homebody  ;)   The predominant smell at the gardens is mulch!!!  LOL

PHYL  Talking tails - very important  ;) ;)

LANI    "pussy willows"  Had to be photoshopped but funny nevertheless..  Went to a funeral myself this AM  :(

High of 90 today!  Just had hh Put some fertilize on my small satsuma Tree.  Got it on just  ahead of a brief down pour!  More expected today or tomorrow!  No watering Required!   Sprinkler system is on however!
 My HOUSE FINCH may have some babies!  Either that or she is cursing the eggs!  Have not seen Daddy Finch with his red head for a few days!
Lani, how is Aly doing?
Tsk, your dinner yesterday has inspired me to purchase a pork tenderloin!  I haven't  had one in ages!  Thanks for the idea!  Fish tonight!
Mickey and her group are at the dead sea today.  They return home on the 15 th. She is really enjoying her trip!  Not for  me!
Baz, nice sounding vacay!  Good you were able to make lemonade out of lemons!  Who was Zippos baby sitter?
Clynn, have you seen Erin?  I imagine the kids were excited to see them!  Ilove e22!  Thanks for posting him!

OldGuy... We got those same 12 drops over on our side of town this afternoon  :-\
I coughed all morning, so rested and watched tennis.
I watered the annuals and finished the sprinkling on the last chunk of yard.
I picked up groceries this afternoon and brought the clean laundry up from the basement.
I don't have the energy to do more.

T40    LOLOL  On the cat bursting through the snow.  " Cat walk" - should have called "Walter Santi"  LOL  Cat compilations were great esp cat and Michael Jackson moves   ;D ;D     Eagles as common as robins  sigh.   Awww  poor little barn owl.   Good ones - thanks as always.  :)

KAREN   I like the small tenderloins in marinade .  Often nice sales on them so stock up on a couple.   Is this a trip Mickey has always wanted to do?  A tour I presume.

LISA   It's taken about 10 years for Tom's son to pay that debt - He's a maxiofacial prosthedontist .  Lots of education.  That's an example of a Wave petunia.  We spoke about them earlier.

LORI   Thanks for posting Karen's finch

TIG  I'd say you did plenty.  Rest up and take care

Tsk, re Mickeys trip!  I do not think she has wanted to do this but seems to be enjoying herself!    Mickey went to Haiti with a cousin and medical group a few years ago and I think that was the first time she left the country!  Katherine on the other hand has been to China, I think, several times!  A former student of hers and now close friend  has a mother who lives in Israel and is a tour guide there.  Hence this trip!
I think she  will be doing more traveling in the future!
I have purchased the marinated pork tenderloins in the past but some how I forgot about them!
Love the list of pets at the relatives house and good for him at paying off the school debt!

Lori - Good to see you....I hope you are feeling good!

tig - I hope you feel better soon!

Tonight was weigh night for the kitties....Brutus and Piper are a lil over 2 pounds, and the rest are not far behind. 

Have a good night, everyone!

KAREN    Is Katherine a friend of Mickey's?  Is Mickey in the medical profession?  I would take that kind of trip with a relative living in Israel!!  The pastor at our church is leading a Holy Land tour for parishioners in Nov. - they had to sign up a year ago   :o     And no I'm not going!  ;) ;)

LISA   After so many days with the windows open we had to turn on the AC about mid afternoon today.  78 in the house and 85 outside  Rain should start about 6 AM

We are having what the weather forecasters refer to as 'June gloom'!  High today was 60!  They say we have been around 10 degrees cooler than normal for this time of year in our area.  We are not complaining tho - we are actually very grateful and have much to be thankful for.

Baz - That is a good info link you posted for Karen on the Broadhead Skink!  So wonderful that you got away for a few days and had a good time, even though you had to change your hiking plans!  You mentioned you had the best BTL on your trip - I too, love BLTs - wish I could have had the same as you did!! ;D  Glad you had a chance to go to the Botanical Gardens and enjoyed it so much - I bet there is always lots to learn from visiting there!  I bet Zippo is so happy you are back! ;D

Clynn - Love your 'Caturday' gifs/post  :)   That is the best idea, that you wait for Monday - understandably, you didn't want to leave Honey there all day.  In the meanwhile, maybe she will start feeling a little bit better (fingers crossed) :)  Sad that the SF Ospreys lost their chick.
Just now seeing cute SWFL pic!

Phyl - Cute gif; big issue Bob :)

Tsk - That is the perfect pic of Lulu - you should frame a print; beautiful home and love the outdoor view - love the hummer feeder too!

Kb - Zebra foal so sweet and precious. :-*  Liked the link of sheep & birds!

LisaG - You & Jeff were the best thing that ever could have happened with Misty & her sweet little kittens.  Will the kittens all stay in your care until they get adopted?  I know it is still too soon for that, but just asking.  My heart is already going out to you . . . . .

Phyl - I wasn't able to see the pinterest link of 'when a child gets her first cat' - but I'm sure it was really special!

Lani - So nice of you to attend your friend's mother's memorial - the families always appreciate folks coming to show warmth, caring, and love. :-*

Tsk - Tim's nephew & wife have a very full household!! ;D :)

Karen - Wow! A warm day for you!  I think you have posted a pic of your satsuma tree before - if not, can you post one?   Hope your little finches are doing well!

Lori - Always great to see you!  Like your postings today!

Tig - Good for you in doing all that you did.  Take care  :)

OG - Is tonight a 'card' night?  If so, wishing you all the best!

Puff - How are you doing?  Keeping busy with ATF stuff? :)

This week, hubby & I went to Lowe's and got all the wood for the new storage unit he is building in the back yard - he has finished the foundation, base &  floor.   I finally shampoo'd our carpets (we have a good shampooing machine) - the carpets had pee stains from my little Star's last days.  I know it sounds weird, but I just wasn't ready to shampoo immediately after her passing - so got it done 2 days ago - I am still grieving & miss her so very much. :'(
Been doing other cleaning of under beds, baseboards, shampoo'd dining room chairs as they are white fabric.  We had noticed some Termite damage, so had 'Casner' come and use their exterminating gun.  We fertilized front & backyard lawns (sprayed for weeds a couple of weeks ago).  Anyway, just keeping busy - always something to be done!  Thank goodness for retirement! :) :)

Beakers have a good night - sleep well.

HAPPY CATURDAY, AND WAVING TO ALL THE BEAKERS!  :D

Karen, the pork tenderloin sounds yummy.  I know what you mean about "forgetting" about it... I sometimes get kind of stuck on certain kinds of entrees for meals, and forget about others I enjoy that I haven't had in a while. Nice to get the fertilizer on the satsuma in time for the skies to water it for you.  ;)  I saw that Audubon's info on House Finches says, "Eggs: 4-5, sometimes 2-6. Pale blue, with black and lavender dots mostly at larger end. Incubation is by female, about 13-14 days. Young: Both parents feed nestlings. Young leave the nest about 12-15 days after hatching. Up to 3 broods per year, perhaps sometimes more."

I enjoyed Audubon's page of House Finch info and photos:
https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/house-finch

Lani, nice that you could attend the service for your friend's mother. I hope you are getting in some nice relaxation time these days. Will the bathroom repair work get done soon - seems like you had mentioned waiting till after Aly moved??

Tig, I must've missed what illness you have - but I know how awful and tiring a bad cough can be. I hope you feel better soon!  Nice pic of the deer - it looked thin to me, but it could just be the angle. I have heard reports that the wasting disease that is in the deer population has spread farther and is affecting a much larger number of animals... which is awful. I hope it isn't in the deer in your area.

Clynn, I loved seeing all the cruise-related pics, and Bella's 1-year birthday photo! LOL, such a cutie!  :-*  Good to hear Honey is no worse, sweet thing. I hope the vet will discover a simple reason, and that Honey will be on the mend to feeling great again soon.  :-* Love the pic of Iris and her new "guard."  ;)  ... and of the squeeing juvie, who came back for a home-provided meal at SWFL!  ;) ;D :-*

TSK, such a pretty and relaxing view onto your yard and flowers! Lulu looks so regal, perched on her "throne," taking in her realm.  ;) :D :-*

E4E, Kris stays very busy with his projects! You stay busy, too!!

Lisa, I bet Bandit, Misty, and the 7 little ones keep you on your toes, and laughing all the while!  :D :-*

Lori, did Destini give you the Evil Eye after you took her for a nail trim and "new do"? If I recall, in the past, she has been embarrassed and indignant after a shave. LOL.  Maybe she has come to appreciate the more positive aspects of a Spa Day.  ;) :D :-* :-*

I don't remember now who asked, but, yes, Zippo missed me while I was gone, and this time she did not give me the cold shoulder when I came in the door... she was happy to see me, and had a LOT to say about it!!!  ;D :-* :-*

Baby Brother has some red, red hair!  Is this from your side of the Family or his daddy’s?  Lgn has a lot more blond curls than the last pic!   Doesn't look like there is water in the pool but a difficult puzzle of sorts that requires a lot of study!  Nite all and seds!

Karen, LOL, there might be a tiny bit of water in the pool in that picture - - and lots of toys, that mostly look like giant Legos!  ;) :D  That red hair is on my side of the family!  Both of my sisters are redheads, and I had a lot of red in my hair - especially when I was younger. My younger sister's daughter - who is "Mom" to my Littlest Greatniece and Baby Bro - is a redhead! My father, his sister, and his mother were all redheads! And my father's sister's first son was a redhead, too! Lots of red hair to go around in my family.  ;D  I'm not sure that flounder was a keeper. But she was one of the lucky few who caught a for-real fish that pier-fishing outing - most others were only catching very small sharks.  ::)  Either way, I would love a crab-stuffed flounder dinner! Yum!  :D

Lisa, Aly and Dewey is fine. She's still trying to find a new home.... glad the kittens are at a good weight....

Hi Lori!  ;D

Phyl, Cat Tail Meanings  ;D

Tsk, fantastic news about Tim's nephew having student loan paid off.... it's going to be awhile for Aly to get her's paid offf.

Karen, YIKES 90 degrees! The weather has been very cool and mild for June. Talon's crossed for baby finches... glad Mickey's enjoying her trip... love marinated pork tenderloin. I have one in the freezer I need to cook soon.

Tig, sweet visitor  ;D now rest and take care.

{{{Hugs Eagles}}} "Gloomy June"  ;D it was a lovely small service for Linda's mom, there was a luncheon that followed. They will take her urn to Muncy, PA for burial in family plot later this summer.... You've been busy.... I need to do carpet cleaning this summer too. It's been too long.... I understand you missing Star  :-*

Baz, we've been working with our insurance company about the bathroom, it's taking awhile. Now that Aly is gone we can finalize our decision... After helping Aly pack and move, I've been busy cleaning and reorganizing the downstairs part of the house where Aly has lived for almost two years. Quiet time will come maybe in July  ;D... I've been so busy I couldn't do the spring Firewise, so I'm hoping to start on that next week.... nice pics of your family... good size flounder your GN caught! ... Love the pics of Lil bro and Punkin, keeping feet cool while busy  ;D.

Good night! It was hatching day for the Puffin family. Little Puffling and dad Willi  :-*

Lani, sounds like you are having a busy June, something like May was for me... it will be different not going to Kay's tomorrow... Has Aly got any good leads on a place yet? I know it must be comforting to know she is working for good people! Hope you can get some help with your firewise duties! I have been working on the yard all around the house, getting the new shed arranged and all of the stuff put away (or tossed!) from the old shed. All that is left is Ed's corner of the back yard where his tomato planters and the compost bins are. It looks pretty low rent, I will have to get out there and tell him what needs to be done! Awww, the new baby Puffin!

baz, what a cute picture of Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro, they look so intent on what they are playing with! I am picturing Zippo talking up a storm on you when you returned from your little vacation... too bad we can't understand bird talk! ;D ;D ;D

E4E, I love it when we have a few cooler days amongst the hot summer days! It's been cooler here for the last few days, the reason I have been able to work outside. The heat is on again Tuesday and forward, so I need to get a couple more things done today or tomorrow. We had a nice soft rain during the night so I can finish planting what I have left! Kudos to Chris and the new storage shed, hope it goes well!

Lisa, more kitten pics please! So  they are all growing and thriving with you and Jeff and Misty as their caretakers! They are all so cute (and so are you and Jeff!)

tsk, I didn't think of the fresh mulch smell at the gardens! Dang!

Phyl, your goodnight cat looks just like Harley...Oh my, the GSB kids look different every time I see them! And DH2, he is so big!  Anthony is almost ready!

Lori, thank you dear, and Destini, for the beautiful thoughts for Honey...

Hellgate Osprey Cam - Michelle Pepper - The new fella New Guy 2/ NG2 💕
Many of you have asked about naming this new male. Dr. Greene will have the honor of giving him a formal name when the time comes. We used New Guy or NG for Louis until he was named. This time around we will add a 2.   Presenting... New Guy 2 or NG2".

HI EVERYONE

Raining very lightly so far - Hi 50s today

TIG  Do you see deer often? Where does it come from?

EAGLES   Some deep housecleaning kept you busy  :o  Would love to see a pic of Kris's new storage area when done.  You're right - always something

BAZI   Thanks much for the pics.  Don't know that I have ever seen a flounder.    Agree with KAREN re Lil Bro's red hair  :o  Reading on , I see why  ;D

LANI      Did Aly's furniture ever arrive?   Puffin chick already  :o

PHYL   GSB - Now they look more like falcons  ;D

CLYNN   Tim loves the mulch smell  LOLOL

tsk - I feel like we only need the AC in the late afternoon once the sun hits the front of the house, cause the temps have been a low of 55 at night. 

tig - What a pretty visitor  :)

E4E - You have been busy.  Not weird at all that you waited to clean after Star's passing.  It is very hard when you have a pet that passes, and that you had for so long.  ((HUGS))

karen - LOL, your cold water! 
 
baz - Definitely keeps us on our toes.  Great pic of Punkin & Baby Bro!  Nice catch by great niece, and Happy 17th to her!!

Lani - Glad to hear that Aly & Dewey are fine.  I hope she can find a home soon.  :)

Phyl - Thanks.  They sure don't miss a meal.  Thanks for the cam pics!

clynn - I will get Jeff to take some pics today of them.  Great pic of NG2. 

kb - He does look like he is smiling. 

tig - Yay, glad you can breathe today.  Hope you are feeling better.

Tsk - Are you and Tim doing anything special for your birthday??
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, tsk.....enjoy your special day!!!!!!!!!!

Paul, yearling male

Happy Sunday Beakers!
Hi Blschue, Lilbro, 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 and All!

Lisa, I've been turning on AC late afternoon as well. It's in the 40's when we get up in the morning, and it only gets warm when the sun hits the kitchen in the afternoon. I hate cooking in a warm kitchen. Pretty birthday cake for Tsk... looking forward to pics.  ;D

{{{Tig}}} have a good day

Tsk, Aly's furniture will not arrive until the 22nd, and it will be taken to her storage unit until she finds a place. She has the funds to pay for the rest of the $$$ when it arrives. Since she had to go into her savings for more $$$ before they would leave our home, we paid for her motel stay.

Kb, Yep, he's smiling, the little guy looks pretty cocky on top of parent's head! .... YAY Chris!

Clynn, There are not very many rentals available for Aly right now. I'm going to hire someone to help me with cutting down of 4 small dying oaks and clearing overgrown brush from the area between golf course and that stream I had taken a video of this past late winter. I can rake and clean up small brush on my own. We ordered another trash bin for me to use for bagging the leaves/pine debri, etc... That'll help me keep up things on my own instead of waiting for HOA firewise clean up schedule.... Love Jody's pic of E22 and Hellgate NG2  :-*

Phyl, beautiful pic of Anthony planning for the first flight! Goodness the Quartet changes everyday!

TIG   Thanks - Guess I didn't realize that about where you live.

CLYNN  Thanks  Have 3 monarch caterpillars almost ready for chrysalis  :D

EAGLES   Thank you  - another beauty of a cake.

LANI   An there's my male monarch - see the two black dots on the back wings?  Thanks for the b-day wishes.   Yearlings - " Emerson, Lake and Palmer"  LOL  Interesting live update from "Taught"   esp about the new dens.  Boy, those movers are sure taking their time getting there - BUT is OK this time as she is still hunting for a place..   Glad to hear you are hiring for the big stuff in your firewise cleanup.  Having a bin always available will definitely allow "cleanup" as you see it.

Happy Bird Day tsk - I have been without my computer until now.
hope you get a birthday dinner out maybe?

tig - oof....not good on the feeding of deer nearby by neighbors...

We have a young one that has been roaming my neighborhood for months now...he apparently escaped the woodlake park area?...unfortunately people have been feeding it so now it's not afraid of humans and worse the DNR will do nothing to capture and transplant.
DNR abhors when people feed them they said...it now will probably not make it in the wild on it's own.

As you all know I am a big Don't feed wildlife person and for a reason...it usually ends up badly.

Well, puter is backed up and Chris spent a long time trying to figure out how to move a lot of my stuff to the icloud for more space.
After both of us deleted out dated files and unnecessary anymore documents, if he downloaded a newer version of Ios....according to him I'd only have 8-13 GB left in storage....

I will keep deleting pics and downloads a little at a time.

I'm not sure how much storage I need if he upgraded or not...?????

Meanwhile Chrome browser can't update itself because I'm on too old an IOS version on my Mac.

I mowed front and back, watered a titch, mulched and pulled neighbor's "stuff" infringing on my hydrangea.

Enough for now....a little at a time or 4-5 hours a day is the ticket....

So so dry here...

Lisa, love the babies, they match their names perfectly. Raven has eyes of an old soul, precious Daisy, gorgeous Midnight eyes, I want them all!

Eagles, our community was built in a forest, the trees were here first and it does need thinning out to make room for healthy ones.... matinee afternoon sounds like fun and a nice way to relax and get caught up with family.

Tsk, I hope you had a lovely day  :)

{{{Karen}}} I hope you're feeling more settled

Good night!

I keep meaning to mention Karen I heard the little one first with the incessent chirping and flapping of wings trying to get dad's attention - They were both having breakfast from the tube feeder of nyjer in my kitchen bay.  This would have been Sunday; I'm watching and expecting more babies now.  Where there's one there are hundreds.  ;D

baz, oh my goodness, what delicious treats you served up for tsk! YUMMY! And a wonderful sounding martini too!

Lani, I would love living in your forest... Becky and Jennifer had a very hard time deciding between the ocean and the mountain forest when they decided to buy a vacation getaway property. They eventually chose the ocean, and I said I would take the mountains! Love your goodnight puppy!

E4E, it was chilly here yesterday after raining all of Saturday night! I was working in the yard and had to put a longer sleeve top! Sounds like you had a good time at your afternoon matinee!

karen, so you can finally see a head popping up in the nest! I have a feeling that part of the reason I am getting so much done in the yard is because my computer is shut down until Erin can look at it and because the weather has been so nice! I don't like doing much on the laptop, I have an ergonomic keyboard on my pc, it's harder for me to use a flat keyboard! I know I could get another keyboard and hook it up to my laptop but don't really want to...

Lisa, and Jeff, thanks for the kitty pictures! Love and want them all! Lizzie has the cutest pose, and so does Angus! Daisy looks so sweet, Piper looks curious, Midnight looks soulful, Brutus looks like he may be purring and Raven looks ready to purr... they are all so cute and sweet! You and Jeff have been wonderful foster parents!

Phyl, cute good morning pic!  I appreciate your tributes to Bob, ginger cats are unique! https://www.felineliving.net/orange-tabby-cats/
Anthony is looking to the skies!

CLynn   Tks for the Tabby facts many I already knew as  I've had two Silver Tabbies in my life.  But there was that something special about Bob.   Pretty Tiffany birds;  calf in you photo looks like it has a 'tutu' on with those pink ears, too cute.  Wish I had your deck this AM---the weather this morning ---is wonderful---gently cool clean air. A gift to the basin.

I've now read/got Bob's books.  Wish I could have met them enough to give out a couple hugs and zillions of strokes.  Next time I'm across the pond I'm going to take on the challenge of visiting the statue.  Bob and James haveboth been powerful ambassadors of the causes mentioned.

Back from the vet with news that isn't good. Honey has a big mass in her stomach, Dr. Bolinger said she was hoping it was outside the stomach but the x-ray showed that it wasn't. She has not seen one of these that has not been cancerous. So we came home with pain meds and something to help with the throwing up, I rub it on the inside of her ear... Will be making her as comfortable and love on her as much as we can......

Thunder storms from early this morning until about   noon.  It was dark as pitch but for all the theatrics I do not. Think I got much rain!
Our temperatures did go down to 86 from a predicted 92 and the humidity went from 70% to 60!  I did enjoy a nice lunch of low sodium ham on bakery rye , cottage cheese and of course, a cold glass of water on the porch!  Very pleasant with a nice breeze and a lot of birds flying about!

TSK and Clynn, I thought that Espresso Martini would be good with those sweet yummy treats on TSK's birthday sweets table.  :D  When I was in Atlanta recently, my good friend since childhood, who lives there, insisted on throwing a little family party for my birthday - despite the fact that I asked her not to, and that my b'day had been 2 months earlier. LOL. Her daughter is my Goddaughter, and her son thinks of me as his Godmother, though, technically, I'm not. I love them all like they are my own, and have known all of them since they were just a gleam in the eye.  ;) :-* :-* It was mostly just an excuse to get all her kids (2), with their spouses, and the grandkids (3) together at her house all at once while I was visiting, except for the oldest grandkid, who is a junior in college in NYC, attending the Parsons School of Design/The New School, so she was not there. Anyway... concerning that Espresso Martini... LOL... My Goddaughter plans events, and also does some small-event catering. She is a great cook, and she loves putting together fun and different menus and meals, including food and drink for a cocktail hour. She planned and made the Happy Hour food and drink, and our wonderful dinner party, which we ate on an outdoor table in the yard, thanks to perfect weather for such! One of the yummy cocktails she mixed up for me was a coffee martini, and it was divine! You should try one sometime!  ;D

A Vaquita, a small porpoise..the most endangered animal in the world...only 12-20 left in the world..they live in the Gulf of California.

More info here:
https://www.ecowatch.com/vaquita-population-gulf-of-california.html

lani - the cutest pup pic evah!....

Course been watering, fertilizing, seeding and walked Ollie....hope to spend an hour just sitting in the sun out back listening....hopefully.

KB, I first learned about the Vaquita Porpoise a year ago, in May, 2022, from listening to this story about them on NPR, which also talked about why their numbers are so low now, and some potentially hopeful news for keeping them from going extinct, dependent,
 primarily, upon human fishing behavior in their Mexican waters - this story from a year ago, May 2022:
https://www.npr.org/2022/05/05/1096842362/scientists-say-endangered-porpoise-isnt-doomed-so-long-as-humans-stop-killing-th


Then, a day or two ago, The Weather Channel was talking about them during their daily climate and sustainability show, called, "Pattrn." So it was right singular that you posted that recent story on them, talking about some encouraging news about their population numbers over the last 2 years since the last major survey of them. Yay! Every little bit helps.

The results of that most recent updated research study were just published a week or two ago, so that makes for getting info about them out in the news, which always helps to raise awareness. Fingers crossed for the Vaquita Porpoise population!!  :-*

I also very much enjoyed this other news article from a few days ago, from "The New York Times," about them and the recently published study results, that includes 2 videos, one of a young Vaquita calf they discovered swimming with its mother  :-* :-* just last month:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/07/climate/vaquitas.html

Hang in there, Vaquitas!!  :-* :-*

some bounce
On our way back from the cemeteries, Camper and I stopped at a taco house. While Camper picked up our food, I struck up a conversation with a guy at the next table. Camper commented to me after the guy left that he always finds it peculiar that my family speaks to strangers so easily... about burial plots, etc. I reminded Camper that my Dad was half Irish. And the guy was so nice and he gave us a taco he didn't want to eat.  :o  8)

KAREN   Is this the HH aide that talks too much?  So sorry.   Are you on a med for your vertigo?  So your PT basically did a home eval for safety and maybe gave you home exercises to do.  Some PTs also do exercises for vertigo......When I retired - vertigo as a treatable entity was just coming into play..Lots has been done in that field.

BAZI   What a wonderful party you had with your friend and her family that are yours too  :-*  Now if I were sitting at that table - I can just picture it - I would not turn down that martini   ;) ;)  Sounds like such a beautiful time to be together and catch up.  Nice to recognize your lil sister.  Those are the cutest pics.  The girls are darling and daddy is a hunk  LOL

TIG   You and my SIL  Barb - We tease her about that all the time - she will talk with anyone  LOLOL   No Irish in her family. ::)

Hi Everyone...
Jim didn't get home as early as hoped so the yard will wait for tomorrow.


Lani thanks for the update on those cute puffins and the R. Albatross.

Bazi thanks for the family update/photos

Tsk I've sent the rain up your way. Hoping it arrives soon.  Yep! Those little eyases  have been named and once they're larger we'll be able to read the anklets and decode their numbers. Cawthorns for vertigo work well for me.

Lisa it's true you/Jeff being good foster parents. I'd love to adopt one of the kittens---But somehow I don't think it'd be fair to Maggie right now. She took such a
back seat when Mike was alive and ill.   :( 


Puff such a sweet post from you to CLynn/Honey,  just now. :-*

Tig it's okay to chat with'anyone'. When we're out I do the same.

Tsk, not the chatter!  Lol

Essentially yes!  They came to the house did an eval.  Said 2x  a week for four weeks!  I said my goal was to get off the walker!  Strengthen legs and become more stable when standing!  They had a goal, not expressed to me that was for me to get around the house by myself!  That then becomes the goal!  They said I do that well,   If I want more, continue the exercises and/or go some place in town that has machines.  They will not assist me in getting off the walker!   I understand what he said but I do not like it and that was not clear in the beginning!   Should be happy that I graduated :)
I have read about pt working with vertigo but I do not think they do here. Have an appointment Thursday wit ortho md and will discuss with him!  Not on drugs.

Severe thunderstorm warninghere now but I dont see much rain! Every bit helps!

E4E... Interesting heritage! Nice.
Yes, both our parents are at Fort Snelling and Camper has some uncles there too. And I found out today that one of the cemetery streets is named for a medal of honor recipient who was the brother of one of our former coworkers.
Two of Camper's grandparents and both sets of mine are at a nearby Catholic cemetery. .. in fact mine are just across the road from each other. Camper's other set are at a cemetery just a few blocks from where we live, but we don't go there as often (and Camper's sister tended to those sites this year).

TSK, if you remember me posting a few pics a little over a month ago, of the selfies my sis and I took in the middle of the street when she visited here recently, and then on the beach at the pier restaurant we went to for an after-dinner sunset libation above the waves... well, that was my same Lil Sis as in my greatnieces' dance recital pic. And the father of the twins that you said was hunky, LOL!!, is her son (my nephew). My Lil Sis's daughter is the Mom to Baby Bro and Littlest Greatniece. She and that "hunky" Dad to the twins are brother and sister.  ;D ;D ;D  Oh, you probably would've enjoyed one of those coffee martinis at my Atlanta friend's house.  ;) :D  LOL on your SIL, Barb, who will talk to anyone, and no Irish in her family. I picked up that same trait from my dad. No Irish.  :D :D :D

Tig, I LOL'd out loud about your comment from Camper about you and your family talking to strangers... and about your relating that to your Dad being half-Irish.  :D :D

Some recent  from GSB:

Quote from: Nora in IA on June 12, 2023, 09:02:31 PM

I just saw on FB that RRP is concerned about Savanna, that she hasn't been seen and Newman has been feeding.
 A GHO chased her last night.  :(  Keep your eyes out!  The picture of her from last night looks like she is in defense mode.

Quote from: Nora in IA on June 13, 2023, 12:26:03 AM

0024 -- Looks like Newman is staying out on the long perch yet since dark.

Savanna's been missing for a while and Newman's been the Hero taking care of his four kids all by himself.
The eyases are wingercizing and perching on the ledge of the nest box. And a brave one did so all night!
But, Dad Newman was there all night---a shadow standing guard in the night.

Praying for Savanna's safety and return.  And, survival of the eyases.

Phyl, thank you for the love and prayers, I also wish you could wave your magic wand...  Oh look, the GSB babies are starting to sit on the edge! I pray that those damn black flies stay away... Hoping Savannah shows up today... Anthony is as big as Mom! DH2 is working on something!

baz, Ed is Irish on both sides. And he knows no stranger...  ;D ;D Love the dance recital pics, and I agree with tsk, your nephew is a good looking guy! Sounds like you had a wonderful time!

tig, you gonna be watering all day?

E4E, it's good that you and Kris work on the yard together, do it as long as you are able! I got Ed a riding mower so he can mow, both of us have back issues so it is a good thing. Kelsey helps a lot and she likes working in the yard.

kb, that hippo sure loves having his teeth brushed! And what a strange looking octopus!

tsk, we are warming up to 85 today, 88 tomorrow... we have had a string of wonderful days for being outside!

E4E - Bradley & Kelly are doing good.  This Saturday is the baby shower, so Wed, Thur and Fri, I will be shopping and prepping the foods that I am bringing.  I did have the sandwiches catered. 

Phyl - I totally get what you mean when you say,  I don't think it'd be fair to Maggie right now. She took such a back seat when Mike was alive and ill.  I sometimes think Bandit feels that he is not Top Cat anymore, since we are dealing with the kittens and Misty. Thanks for cam pics.  I hope the 4 at GSB can make it till fledge, and that darn GHO stays away!

I need that morning cuppa of yours. ;)

I also have Native American ancestry---Iroquois Confederacy along the US/Canadian boarder circa 1900. My Grandpa Lambert(he and his wife, son and four daughters were immigrants from France) use to trap with a tribe of Iroquois in Maine. He and his wife ran a boarding house there. My maternal grandmother was the daughter of that tribe's chief. She was born 'knocked knee". The chief gave her to Great Grandpa Lambert to seek medical care and keep safe. She was kept and raised as their own. etc.

Yes Lisa, regarding the GSB peregrines---' there's  some trouble in River City.' so-to-speak.

KB hippo has good dental habits ...odd looking octopus

E4E I do what I'm able outside.

Bazi No Irish here---just English, French, German, Italian, Native American and The Levant.

Hi Tig hope you don't over do---tacos sound yummie

Karen good luck with the PT and hope you loose the walker, soon


Today's busy and Jim home before I know it and then he mows...

Happy birthday Camper!  Another year of some great photos !
81 now and a high of 90?  Humidity is 81 degrees!  Mama finch still on the nest.  I cannot see babies.  I have to stand very far to the back with my head back to see the nest,  not very comfortable for long!
Phyl, No more pt.
Tsk you are correct.  My only fall was a result of a blood pressure drop!  I was not doing anything except standing when I fell!  No dizziness or anything!  Oh well!  Accept what it is and continue to find a solution!

Beakers who have Cherokee heritage and can prove it were eligible for oil money from Oklahoma.  I had a friend who was and her parents got the money.  This was in the 50s and it was sizable.  You might want to investigate it now.  Could be too late!

CLYNN  Bless little Honey.   Be thankful for the good days.  I think Lucy had been ill long before we knew about it but you just let nature take its course.    Great that Kelsey likes yard work.  I bet she is a big help with a younger back  LOL   Oh I am so glad that osprey was rescued - so hard to watch.

LISA   Fun Saturday for you.  Tell us what you are making?  Hope you take some pics.

PHYL   Interesting backstory on your native American heritage.

Eagles, yes, new stylist is in town, just ten minutes away. It will be interesting starting over again. I've only had 4 hair stylists in my lifetime...  thank you for sharing family history  ;D

Tig, thanks for sharing your family history.  :)

Baz, you have a wonderful family, thanks for sharing their pics  :)

Phyl, I pray Savannah returns.. goodness, Zooey doesn't return, Michelle disappears. Newman will do a fantastic job caring for his brood. Great pics, I just pray no black flies and kids stay in the box until ready to fledge... interesting family history.

KB, great videos this morning... "brushing teeth" time. LOL! And the Octopus moonwalk is cool!

{{{Clynn}}} happy to hear Honey is eating and comfortable. Praying for many more good days for all of you to share :-* ... great osprey rescue.... {{{Kelsey}}}

Lisa, glad to read Bradley and Kelly are doing well... Do you think they will adopt one of the kittens through AC?... I hope you will be able to share pics from the baby shower.   :)

Lori, Delicious looking smores for Camper! Now, I've got to get a fresh cup of coffee and Almond Joy cookie to go with it  ;D

Post by: LisaG1967 on June 13, 2023, 03:34:41 PM

karen - Glad to hear that you will have more PT sessions. 

Lani - Love your morning pic of Mama squirrel and baby.  I know they would love to have one of the kittens, but they have Stewie (their black cat) and he does not get along with other cats, plus with a baby on the way, it might be too much.  I sure will share some pics from the shower.   :D

tsk - The baby shower is at a park under a pavilion, and just a few friends and family are attending.  I ordered sandwiches...ham, turkey and roast beef on assorted rolls, and chicken salad, egg salad, and ham salad on assorted rolls.  I am making a vegetable tray, a fruit tray, and a cheese/meat tray.  Bradley asked if I would make shrimp dip, so I will do that with some other chips and dips, too.  I can't decide if I want to make a pasta salad or not.  Kelly's brother is making the dessert.  I think it is supposed to be a giraffe cake or cupcake cake.

Lori - Those gooey chocolate chip cookie s'mores look deeeeeeeeeeelish!  :P

kb - Glad to read that you did not have to help Andrew today. 

Phyl - Kitties are good, and all gaining weight,some are over 2 pounds, and the rest are just about there.  They will be 8 weeks old this Sunday, and on Friday June 23, I will have to bring them up to AC to be turned over so they can all be spayed/neutered.  Going to be a sad day for me.  Misty is still nursing them at times, so she will not be going up there to get spayed till mid to late July when her milk dries up.

Karen well that's good news on the PT continuing. The word for now is 'Freedom'.  ;)  LOL

Lani sweet parent with it's kit. Is it too early to ask how you liked your new hairdresser?  Any word on Aly's belongings---or have I missed that?

Lisa happy to hear Kelley /Bradley are well---baby too. Kiss all the kittens for me right between the eyes.  Tks for kitten update ;D  Tks for planning to share baby shower photos; baby shower menu sounds great

Tsk so right about cats hiding their illnesses---survival tactic from the jungles and plains.   Light rain is still 'good'

Lori camper's cookies  look 'sinful' to eat. LOL

E4 E  nice B/D for Tig's Camper.

KB hurrah!  Andrew didn't need you this time. Now you can just supervise. LOL

Jim's cardio called and they have two wks of free meds ready to p/u. Then he'll be home. I have a homemade sausage, egg & cheese biscut for his snack and left over coffee from this AM.
I'm still fortunate all I have is two  Rxs  to fill at $80 each , rest of 'stuff' I  take are supplements that I share with Jimmy.

Finally  we got some rain today thanks to a real nice downpour late afternoon.  0.8" - almost an inch - YAY  Oh OH  another downpour.  Bet we get an inch out of this.

LISA   You have a lot of food for " just a few friends and family"  :o  ( unless the family is huge  LOL)   I'd only make the pasta salad if someone didn't eat meat.  Is Kelly's brother a baker??  If Misty is still nursing by June 23rd do you still have to bring them?

PHYL  I think in answer to my question the movers were to get Aly's stuff  to the storage unit on June 22/23?  Thanks for the blog.  I remember the years I went to Decorah we went around July 4th and the juvies had fledged for at least a week by then if not two.

Irish History:
In my reserach of my family, Mothers side is half orange Irish and half Catholic Irish, I found that a large emigration to N. America occured from 1750 to 1820 because of the English and Scots taking their land.  Only the oldest male could inherit land - limited land available, so younger sons left Ireland in search of land.  Many took positions with the English/Dutch fur trading companies to live in the wilderness and trade with the Indians.  No respectable women would go to live near the Indians.  So many of the traders married daugthers of the Indian Chiefs - this created a bond between the trader and the tribes.  This ensured peaceful trading and the ability to travel without fear.  This covered the time from the French withdrawl after the French/Indian war and the push west by farmers.
My ancestors left Ireland in the 1820s to 1840s.  The Orange Irish came first and moved westard another state or two with each new generation, until my great grandparents settled in SW Wisconsin/NE Iowa in the 1870s.
My Catholic Irish side landed at Montreal, then moved west to west of Toronto, before settling in SW Wis. in the 1860s.
So my ancestors were too late to get involved in the fur trade.

My step children are 1/16th Cherokee - their history is mostly unknown beyond 3 generations, but it is connected with the Eastern Band of the Cherokee.

Interesting history Old Guy!  I think the inheritance law might have been the same across Europe!  I know that the oldest son inherited the land in Germany as well.  None of the Irish Catholics :'( in your family drifted south to join the police force in Chicago? Lol that might have been a later migration.
E4e, I would love to share temps with you.  Add our two together and divide by two for some lovely weather
Lisa, I think your as is just mean and too focused on making a buck! . Sorry, but those kitties need to stay with mama until they are weaned and not a day sooner!  They couldalso adopt them with a spay neuter contract!  Their use of an artificial weight is just wrong!  Now, Ifeel better and my ranting doesnt change a thing!

I will have the Munchkins tomorrow instead of today!  I have been opening the door to the deck in the morning and leaving it open all day, but it's supposed to get to 88 today and I will have to turn the A/C on so the door will be closed. Will see how the cats take that!

Lani, you post such sweet pictures of critters, the Mama squirrel carrying her baby, and your goodnight picture of the kitten hugging his teddy bear...

kb, gorgeous pic of the Ladies Slipper, and I love the Horsetail on the side!

oldguy, very interesting about your ancestry! I have been working on my Dad's side, we never knew any of his side except his Mother who showed up when I was 30. Her name and his Grandfather's (who raised him) name were all I had.  Finally got something and was able to tentatively go back to Paris, France. My maiden name was LeGrande so I was sure there was French somewhere. I got most information from My Heritage, my cousin did Mom's side via Ancestry. On that side he found he were related to Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt!

karen, yay, you get some more PT! Hope you are able to get rid of the walker eventually! My Mom uses a cane, and she will be 89 this year!

E4E, wow, you are having cooler weather! My sister lives in Corvallis, OR and her weather seems about the same as yours. At least for now!

Lisa, August is not very far away! Sounds like you will have a great shower! Sounds like this is a family shower and not the girly shower. Maybe her girlfriends will have one for her!  Those kitties have to be so much fun right now! I wonder what Bandit is thinking... ;D ;D

tsk, you got a good rain! Yay! Looks like we may get rain Saturday night/Sunday. We are still good from the rain a few days ago, it would be nice if we got some rain every week!

Phyl, oh those GSB babies, out on the edge!  So sad about Savannah... thank goodness they are near fledge! The guys are really stepping up this year!  Anthony with both parents!

GOOD FLAG DAY MORNING EVERYONE

59 and heading to 73  mostly cloudy.  We did get over an inch of rain yesterday with another downpour as I signed off. :)

KB  We are still about 4" short of average rainfall.  Lady slippers are so exquisite.

OLDGUY   Fascinating history.  Did you do it or another family member?  Clever cake for Camper. ;)

PHYL   Such sad news from GSB   If Newman can just keep going for a few more days it will be a miracle if all 4 fledge successfully.

CLYNN - Relation to the Roosevelts  :o :o :o  Cool

tsk - Thanks for the reminder about Flag Day.  Jeff use to get that as a State holiday, but they took that away many years ago.  You got a good bit of rain. 

clynn - Love your Happy Wednesday post. Have a good day with the munchkins.  Sounds like you all are really enjoying your deck.  I don't know if there will be another shower.  There are some friends that are coming to this one, but I am not sure if she really hangs around with any of the girl co-workers.   Love the pic of the Red-headed Woodpecker couple.

Phyl - Newman is doing an awesome job being Mom and Dad.  Poor Savanna, she sacrificed herself to save her babies.   :'(  Let's hope the GHO stays away till all the eyasses fledge.

Lani - I am definitely going to miss these kitties.  I told Jeff, if I see them not getting adopted...I am going up and getting them all!  :D

kb - Beautiful state flower.

karen - No ranting doesn't change a thing, and I have to follow their rules if I want to adopt Misty, since she is chipped to them.   :-\

E4E - Thank you!  :)

tsk - Her brother is an engineer, but her Mom told me that he liked to bake.  I will make sure to take a pic of the cake. 

Going to start some of my shopping today around 11, and do a lil more tomorrow too.  Friday afternoon will be my prep day for all of this.

Overcast - later, warming to 70

Tig - Did you & Camper go out to dinner yesterday? :)

Og - Thank you for sharing your ancestry - good that you know so much about your families's history - very interesting! :)

Karen - The sun should come out in our area a little sooner today!

Kb - Lovely pic of your State flower. :)  Wish your area would get some much needed rain.

Lani - Cute 'nite' pic.

Phyl - Nice temps in your area!   Great Spirit Bluff - so very sad about Savannah  :'(  Thank you for Amy's blog.
Thank you as always for all the Cam pics / updates!

Clynn - Enjoy the Munchkins tomorrow!  I too, would keep porch door closed today - way too warm - although your kittys might disagree! Lol ;)
Interesting family history - so nice that your cousin did your Mom's side of ancestry!

Tsk - Wonderful for the rain you've gotten  :)

LisaG - Have fun on your shopping trip today!  You will be extra busy the next fews days  ;D

Sprayed for ants near the berries and sprayed some weeds in the lawn. A few spots still need some watering today.

Yes, Lani - I'm almost wishing for that stuff in my pic above!.. ;) ;)

We average around 4 inches a month for the May through August period...a little less in May but more in June...
Here in a suburb just south of the Twin Cities we've had none since early May...NONE.

All that snow was good for the rivers/creeks/ and lakes....and maybe for our tree stock?...but nada for the rest of my yard...no matter how much we get it dries quickly.

I've been watering once again all morning....the apartments across the street don't water and it's only mid June and their grass is dead and yellow/brown already..
Mine is green.

Many of my perennials and similar stories on all the garden blogs I read have bloomed but late and not as many flowers...rough winter and lack of rain.
It takes so much time to hand water and I need to do some touch up painting, staining, fixing stuff and just plain enjoy sitting...
Not likely this year...so glad I had Andrew here yesterday to start. He completely tore up my concrete paver patio and re-did it..it had sunken so he bought more sand and rock.
He completely fixed my shed which had been attacked by birds and the wood was rough, with the old roof for my jacuzzi Scott used in the winter....they won't be able to attack tin and it will last...then he deeply pruned a row of yews on my hill...a little too deeply for my taste but it will all grow back.

Out for more watering....later.

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Blschue, Lilbro, 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 and All!

LOL Kb! love your morning pic... I hear you, but the time it's mid-July we'll be watching Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch! And of course my Brooks Fall Brown Bears to cool us down.  ;D. Andrew did a good job of helping you keep your area healthy and lovely... that makes a difference, lack of care and attention are what destroys your neighbors yard.

Eagles, our temps will warm up to the 50's starting tomorrow morning. It was 46 today and highs will be low 80's ... looks like AC will go on this weekend. Looks like summer will be here starting Father's Day! Mike loves it, but thankfully the temps will cool down at night, windows can open, AC will not have to work.

Lisa, I wish I lived closer, I'd get a kitten or two. My heart feels good to know you'd get the kittens if they are not adopted. Mike had a brilliant man who was an excellent engineer that worked for him in Kansas, and he was an excellent baker. They are detail kind of people which can test your patience at times.... There wasn't anything that John didn't know or couldn't do. Looking forward to shower pics.

Tsk, love your Flag Day pic  :)

Clynn, Interesting family history....  Mike has been working on the history of both sides of his family for years.... awww love the woodpeckers and chickadee. We have "Mountain Chickadees"

Phyl, that is very sad news RRP blog shared with us. God bless Savannah :'(... I pray Newman will be able to feed his beautiful growing family. Thankfully, they are near fledging and can learn from dad.... pretty sunrise.. thanks for nests pics... prayers for GSB babies.

Hoping for the best..

A few pics of front yard.:

Flag was brought last night sans boyscout.....Dad did it.....Hmmm?....LOL

KB  Andrew is worth his weight in gold!!!  He and friend accomplished a LOT.  Talked with my butterfly expert at church and she also is low on eggs and visuals of monarchs seems off ( We've both only seen 1).  Even some of my milkweed is not looking good.  I only have 7 caterpillars going and should have a lot more by now.  She thinks it too is weather related. I sure love that color lily!!   I don't have any buds on my Stellas yet.

SWFL Eagles - Trisha Needleman - 06/13/ 23 taken 04/27/23...” The nest”.  Courtesy of Linda Douglas Karst...GRAB YOUR TISSUES.
THIS NEST...A nest rebuilt after a hurricane, just In time to welcome E21 and E22 to this world. Yet, we could never imagine what this season would bring. Nature can be both beautiful and cruel...but one thing will remain at the end of this season...the NEST. This nest was rebuilt by our beloved Harriet and M15. It raised two spunky, resilient eaglets E21 and E22 and will stand as the foundation for many years to come. And no matter who returns season after season to raise their young, one thing will always remain...the NEST. Our Harriet, M15, E21 and E22 will always be part of this nest; their hard work, feathers, and food nestovers buried within. So when we see an empty nest at the end of this season, let us smile knowing that a part of Harriet, M15, E21 and E22 are still here, buried In the foundation of sticks and grasses, providing protection and support for whoever claims It for years to come.

Kb, love the lilies, they're gorgeous, lovely yard, everything is very green... sorry for the smoky atmosphere. Thankfully, we haven't had any fires near us this summer.

Baz, delicious treats for Camper! I wish I had a piece of the sticky toffee pudding... have a nice evening.

Clynn, darling pics of the peregrine, and DH2... special SWFL special post by Trisha Needleman, I pray M15 returns, I bet he will....

Clynn, Lisa, Tsk, Phyl, the dog in the video has gorgeous eyes, very expressive.... already over 4 million views....

{{{Lisa}}} I know you have more to do, but rest too  :-*

Clynn, Karen, on Hellgate twitter the new guy hasn't been seen with Iris since June 10th. But, you're pic shows different. Is it from their facebook? I pray he's still there. Because I've missed him and I watch a lot.

Good night!

As the person says!....LOL...only in Turkey will humans break up a cat fight.
Boy they sound like screaming babies

tsk - yes they do advise wearing a mask when outside....I saw a couple last evening walking wearing them...before I went downstairs to hide....Hiding helped me a lot from looking outside and getting depressed.

It's still heavy today....the winds switch around from the north to the east tomorrow, hence they "predict" tomorrow at 6am the air quality alert for all will lift.....we shall see.

Not walking Ollie today.....probably hiding out again other than taking Chris to his pt....inside of course...
They cancelled all outdoor activities in most of the state last night, like Park Board/School outside activities etc.

Phyl, Anthony is working at it!  Pretty good morning pic...  I always try not to wish for snow in the summer or hot weather in the winter, it is futile and just ruins my mood!  ;D There's not a thing that can be done about it.

Lani, that picture at Hellgate was posted on their FB page, it said it was yesterday. In the comments someone asked if the new guy has been seen lately...(no one responded). I didn't read the comments, I just saw that there were 2 ospreys in the nest, it has to be him!

karen, I hope you got through the night with no bad weather!

HI EVERYONE

61 heading to 82  mostly sunny

PUFF  Don't know what the official rainfall was but I had about an inch in my gauge.  :D  For once we got a couple good downpours and a few days of not having to water the pots  LOL

LANI   Awww  sweet good night photo  :-*

PHYL   Looks like GSB got through another night

KB   Forget what it is called when a video won't play and the loading circle keeps going around.  Couldn't open cat fight.  Only got through half of Top Gun last night as the same thing happened..sigh Something to fix.  Smart not to walk Ollie - Didn't realize Chris is getting PT?

CLYNN  Peace fork  - clever.   Beautiful  great egrets?

Heading up to Milwaukee in a bit.  Taking 2 of 3 great nieces - the twins who just finished 4th grade to the zoo with bro and SIL  We try to do this every summer - take a picnic and I treat to ice cream at the end.  They love feeding the baby goats  and riding the merry go round. They haven't outgrown it yet  ;) ;)

Have a good day everyone.

tsk - Yes, he just started back up last week....The history was after his vaccinations in 2021 he visited his surgeon who stated he was too young for hip surgery and wanted him to do like 16 PT visits then approved. Of Course that winter Covid started back up and he found it difficult to work out with a mask on.
Fast forward and now after a lot of muscle mass loss, he's starting back up having only completed a handful of the original 16.....no masks required anymore in our medical facilities here in the Twin Cities...of course one can if one wants to but working out heavily esp on the treadmill makes that near impossible...he almost fainted his first round.

I'm sure you will have a lovely time at the Zoo...drive safely.....there are lots of idiot drivers out there these days, LOL

Good morning!  We continuing to be under a tornado watch for the second day!  Dark as pitch again.  Lights on!  We are in a severe weather pattern over the southeast!  At least we have rain!
Yesterday, the guy who owns the company that does my sprinkler systems and also used to do my yard came over yesterday to say he dug up some grass from the yard across the side street from me and wanted to know if I wanted it in my yard in some bare places!  Of course I said yes!  Lucky for me we are having some rain with this weather system!

Nr, are you talking about the wf nest? I assume you are and I am sorry about the loss of the baby!
Hope Iris has not  chased the new guy away!

I think M15 will be back!  He has still been seen in the nest area as of the recent past!

Lisa, shower food sounds good!   Have fun!  Oops, heavy rain just started! 

Think there maybe two babies in the finch nest but am not sure as I do not see them.  Mama seen feeding!

Looking forward to pictures Clynn.  I still have that 70s outfit sans the bell bottoms!

Lani, how was the new stylist?  Usually takes a few times for them to get things just right.   How are the girls? 

As usual Phyl, thanks for the daily round up!  Waving to e4e and Baz!

{{{Kb and Chris}}} I saw that cat video last night. I love how he was talking to both cats, dragging the one with one paw. LOL!, let us have peace! A very caring cat lover. LOL!  ;D

Karen, my hair appt isn't until next week. My Scottsdale hair stylist sent me my formula and I sent it on the new gal two weeks ago. She never replied back. I don't understand why she can't take just a moment to let me know she received the info.... awww two baby finches. Two doves have been scoping around my patio flower boxes as possible nests sights. I warned them about my cats. Not a good idea. Girls are fine... that's nice of the landscaping guy to keep an volunteering eye on your place too.

Tsk, Perfect ages to still enjoy the zoo, picnic and ice cream, I'd love to go even at my age! Have a fun day!  ;D

Clynn, Montana Ospreys at Hellgate facebook thinks he left, he's not been seen. Some think Louis chased him off, I wonder if he had another mate/nest nearby like Louis.  :( .. Anyway, I hope he comes back. I posted a message on their facebook asking if anyone has seen him... beautiful Egrets ... Have a fun day with the munchkins!  ;D {{{gentle hugs and prayers for Honey}}} :-*

I actually got back on line so that I could share with y'all my amusement level.  I just had to share with all - but just to tell my funny isn't enough.  You have to be here.  And, you have to be a legitimate "bird brain".

For about the 4th time I sat here entertained by one of my house finch.  I have quite a few of the goldfinch, and housefinch, and purple finch, and adult and baby finch right now.   But this one I can spot right away.  He's unique and noticed because of the way he hangs on the tube feeder with the nyger seed.  He hangs on the perch for a long, long time and beats on the hole to get the seed - kinda like a woodpecker.  But it's not just with his beak -- he shakes and beats with his entire body, from beak, wings, down  to  the end of his tail.  Filled the tube yesterday - taking time and care to see if the hole might be plugged up with wet, swollen seed.  Nope!  Maybe I had the wrong hole?  Nope!

Very odd, very unique, very entertaining.  And, if I'd take the time to get my media skills quicker then I would post a vid and share the display.  Goofy bird.  Goofy me to be so consumed by a bird eating.  LOL

Karen, I saw on TV all that scary, severe weather in your region yesterday. I'm glad you didn't have any damage. This morning, I saw much the same severe weather is forecast for your area again today. Stay alert!  I hope you and your property, and the finches in their nest, all stay safe and sound.

Clynn, I'm so glad that (((Honey))) is acting normal so far, and eating well.  :-* :-*  How did they take the closed porch door?  I loved that pic of the group of Great Egrets! I have 2 regular Great Egrets at my retention pond, with at least one of them dining here most every day. They're so pretty.  I've never seen a large group of them like in your picture - what a wonderful thing to see! Wonder if it was near their rookery...  Have a wonderful day with Bela and Talon!  :)

Tsk, glad you finally got some nice rain. I still haven't outgrown those activities either!  ;)  It sounds like a fun day at the zoo!!  :)

Phyl, yesdterday, I left treats for Camper's belated birthday. But I bet he would share some of them with TSK!  ;) :D Thanks for the nest cam pics!

NR, that's sad news about the WF Ospreylet.   :'(

KB, I hope you get those forecasted wind direction changes soon that will help clear your air.

Lisa, don't work too hard, and have fun at the baby shower.  :)

Waving to E4E, Tig, Puff, Lori, Lani, Oldguy, T40, and All the Beakers!   :)

Lani - 'When the neighbors have a fight' Lol - cute doggie too!  Sounds like ideal temps for you; warm during the day, but cools off at night!
Thank you for Bearstudy and Royal Albatross! :)

Tig - That's a good way to keep the birthday dinners/celebrations going (SIL, then for Camper at a later date)!

Kb - The watering of your yard/plants sure is paying off - you have a nice yard - looks great!  I do hope you get some rain soon than later so that you can take a break from your watering duties.  :)   Thank you for posting pics!  Good luck to Chris with the pt.
Wow, amazing that man was able to separate those two cats - thanks for vid!

Baz - Yummy treat for Camper!  I too, love how you tell us about your family & relatives and how you are all connected!   You look so cute in your class picture :)
BTW, we love Dolly Parton too!!  We learned more about Dolly during our trip to her 'Dollywood' Theme Park a couple of months ago.

Kb & Tig - So sorry for all the terrible smoke you are having to endure.  Hopefully it starts clearing out soon.

Clynn - Thanks so much for posting Trisha Needleman SWFL - well said. :-*
Love DH2's cute pic of June 10th  :)    Boonesfarm Lol! ;D   So true about the road trip lunches in the 60's! :)
I know you are having a fun & busy day with your Munchkins! ;D
Love the pic of the 'nature's road block' - thank you Debbie Cram!

Phyl - Wonderful cam pics - thank you for updates too!  Thank you for Amy's blog.

Tsk - That is such a fun & wonderful outing in taking the great nieces to the zoo!! I'm sure a great day was had by all!! ;D  Hope you didn't overdo the walking tho! ;) :)

LisaG - July is looking like a super busy month for you - lots going on!!  Thank goodness Jeff helps with stuff too! :)

Nrstooge - That is so sad about the little osprey  :(

Karen - Hope the tornado doesn't get over to you.   Nice that you received the grass into your yard that was no longer needed across the street! :)

Puff - I bet it is so fun & entertaining to be able to watch your finches - I would love to watch them too!! ;D

Tig - Awe - so sweet to see a mama deer & her fawn!

I did a few errands earlier and did some indoor chores - now it is mid afternoon, and I need to go out and do some watering!  BBL

Ditto on what Baz said Karen.
I hope all is well at your abode.
I've been keeping an eye on the weather in your south GA area and it's been looking pretty ornery in your neck of the pines.  ::)
Stay safe and hunkered down.  :)

 Baz and Bl, so far, no damage!  At least from what I have seen!  Also, the back yard used to hold water a lot and none visible!  The soil, sand must have been very dry, very deep so this rain should be very good for trees and other deep rooted plants.   At least I didn’t have to water my satsuma!   Do not think I will have any fruit this year.  Bl, you are right about the pines!

As far as I know, Mickey is still in NYC.  Some how mossed he morning plane to Chicago.   Shoukd be home now but, not so!   Believe she enjoyed her trip to the holy land but her travel doesnt seem to have been the best!
My vertigo is back!  No appointment with ent is available so .i am on the waiting list! 

Think the tornado watch is over now but the floodalert is still on!  The withlacochee , don't you know!   Heavyrain and thunderstorms beginning again in 20 minutes!

Tsk, hope you enjoyed your visit to the zoo!  My last zoo visit was in San Diego with highschool friends!  Maybe 6 years ago!

So then, you 're all prpared for the Baby Shower?

KB sounds like good news on Chris's PT resuming---sending good wishes for success. 

{{{NR}}}  WF osprey nest. I know its' so sad.

Tsk Imay have missed about your zoo visit. Hope it was fun and all. Got photos?

Karen you think M15 will return then? Good news on the storm damage.
 I hopwe Mickey had a safe return.   Keep us posted.  We had some rain all  this afternoon . We needed and was nice.

Lani  tks for Dr Roger's Bear study report. Congats on birth of woodchucks and ra oons for the center. Good news that Lucy will be abloe to breast feed her cubs
Glad the center got a new WRI boat sounds like it's safer than a canoe.
Also for the Royal Albatross report adding the photos is nice.

Bazi heard about that asteroid  this AM; it's gonna miss us of course and no flames  ;).   Look at those dresses we worn  in those days.   :)
That cake is sinful!

NR   Sorry to hear about the loss at WF nest. :(

KAREN   How nice of that sprinkler guy to offer you the good grass.  :)  You are having quite the weather!

LANI  Fun and interesting Bear reports.  I wonder with all the work that they are putting into these new dens - what if they aren't used?? LOL
Oh no More drama at Hellgate.   That Louis  :P

PUFF   What fun behavior that little finch displayed  :D

BAZI   Looks just like you!!  LOLOL  Cute pic.   Black Forest cake vs carrots - seriously  NOT   Does the tennis US open start this week?  I know the golf one got underway today.

Needed to borrow a sweatshirt from SIL as it was only 61 in Milw with a breeze and no sun..Yikes  Turned out to be a nice day anyway.  Animals not too active but always a fun walk.

tsk, 61, that is a bit chilly! We had a day like that last week! I am going crazy without my pc, I am tired of this laptop! I should have it Saturday!

karen, glad to hear you missed the really bad weather!

Dang, I was almost done with my post and half of it poofed. I hate typing on this laptop!

Phyl, I didn't give Honey the in the ear med this morning, I wanted to see if maybe that was why she wasn't acting herself, and she was better today! And she didn't throw up. If she starts, I will ty a half dose.

baz, I think I could have picked you out of your kindergarten picture without your direction!

Lani, you are so good to keep us up on the Royal Albatross nest! And I love reading the Bear Report! I wonder if that Hellgate FB poster accidentally got an older pic in that post... dang, I was so hoping Iris had finally found a mate she liked...

Puff, birds, cats and dogs give us all such joy!

Tsk glad you had a nice day at the zoo. We;ve been to the Nashville Zoo from time to time over the years
And, sometimes the wildlife is active and others they just 'look' at u s.   ;D

CLynn  almost sounds like Samantha and her eplipsy meds. One day I notice how lethargic and unhappy she was so
I just stopped them. The next day she was her old self and no seizures either---ever.   Nice munchkin photos.
So frustrating to loose posts--I empathize.
Good news on the PC. Although I've often thought having a laptop would be a time saver for me
Nice rescue story from  Lewiston Fire Department   :)

Puff, love your bird story. Mike and I could watch our hummingbirds for hours. Especially, one particular male that spends more time chasing and defending the feeder, than actually drinking from it.

Tsk, I think the Black Bear Center decided to build the dens in an enclosed area, because Tasha loves to hibernate in her homemade built dens rather than the houses they've provided the bears. This last two years Holly has taken Tasha's dens and she's had to build new dens late in the fall. I think they are hoping both girls will take to the enclosed dens. Glad you and family had a nice day at the zoo.

Baz, sweet school pic "those were the days my friends!"  ;D  I can see family resemblance between you and your great niece "Lil Punkin"

Karen, I hope Mickey is home by now.... sorry to hear you're having vertigo issues, I hope you can get help soon. Be safe from the weather... hugs  :-*

Clynn, the munchkins look great! Love seeing Honey with Bella, sweet pics.... I'll have mac & cheese too.  ;D ... sorry about your laptop, I'm still having trouble with my keyboard. Aly told me to consider getting a new one.... I think Iris did like the New Guy and accepted him, but he's gone.  :( .... great osprey rescue. That was sad to see. Glad it's okay .

BL  :)

Oldguy, thank you for the videos, I'll watch them tomorrow, but i did enjoy the new Walter Santi video.

SED Phyl Rest in Peace Bob

Lani, Iris...I don't know what to say... We long to see babies in that nest... In the 2 Estonia osprey nests Iirma & Ivo's nest has no cam, waiting on a part and no one ever showed up at Marko & Miina's nest. I remember the first year we watched, it was Madis & Piret. Found these pictures of the 2012 nest, Elo, Uno and Nori... Do you believe it's been 11 years...

Puff, Mom's chair sits to the side of the picture window with a great view of the bird feeder that is attached to the window. She has another chair she uses directly across from the window. I cant tell you how much enjoyment she gets just watching the birds at the feeder. I also attached a hummingbird feeder to the deck railing last year!

Phyl, did Anthony fledge? It sure looks like it! Love the chickens! Looks like the GSB kids are just about ready to go!

oldguy, going though your great entertainment! Thanks for all you post for our enjoyment!

Wild Heart Ranch - It’s like elf on a shelf but with a Keebler…

Momo - One of my most requested prints. ❤️
I was stuck in Albuquerque after my tire blew out on a desert road an hour outside of Roswell, New Mexico. We were stranded the same week of the Balloon Fiesta, something I never knew I wanted to experience until it was happening. Never underestimate the potential of a breakdown.

Lani - Aww, I am sad to read the new guy is gone from Hellgate. 

oldguy - Thanks for the videos. 

clynn - Looks like a fun day with the Munchkins  :D  Mmmm, mac and cheese!  So glad that osprey was rescued. 

tsk -  Hope you can get that buffering fixed.  We had that same problem a while back when watching NetFlix, and it was a real pain.  I have a few more things to get today, and then will be set to prep the food. 

Phyl - Jeff will have M&B while I am gone, no kittens.  They will be at AC by then.  Jeff works from home on Friday's, so he took vacay days Mon-Thurs to be with M&B.  Almost prepared for baby shower.  Check the GSB nest box now...Thomas is on the top!!

karen - I hope you can get in for the vertigo.  I need to ask Mama what they did for her.  She got it while on a trip to the mountains. 

E4E - Jeff is a big help.  And, he even likes to cook and prep, so that is a plus!

baz - Thanks!

tig - Awww, Mama and baby deer

HAPPY FRIYAY

55 cloudy heading to 72 later this afternoon - partly sunny

CLYNN  Today is a jeans day. Not warming up til later.  Ed probably had fun at the park too  ;D  Saturday can't come soon enough for you.  Did the kids have a good time on the cruise - or maybe you will find out tomorrow.  Wonder who discovered that medicine on a cats ear is a way to get it into the system. ???  Watched that rescue on FB.  Hard to watch.

OLDGUY    There you are!   Cool AQ monitor.  A 2 for us.    " fur beret"  ;D ;D ;D   Simon  ;D   classical guitar - perfect theme

LISA   My SIL said to disconnect your router and plug in again.  I did that and got to finish Top Gun Maverick last night  ;D

Gotta run - out to another b-day breakfast with friends  ;D

Overcast - high of 69 today

Karen - Good for the rain you've gotten - nice that you don't have to water your satsuma!

Phyl - Nice rain you had too!  Cute morning pic - love the chickens!   Thank you for all the wonderful cam pics  :)

Tsk - Glad it was a fun trip to the zoo!

Clynn - Great pics of your Munchkins - bet they all had fun & burned off energy at the park with Ed! ;) :)  Is that Honey that Bella is petting?
So glad about the rescue of the Osprey in Lewiston, that it was found to be fine and released!

OG - You've had such a busy week, that hopefully you have some time off this weekend!  I sure hope the air quality gets better soon.

Lani - We are not having the hummers like we used to - don't know what has changed, but I make sure to keep the 'nectar' fresh in the two feeders - I really love the hummers - they are so cute!

LisaG - You are so organized!  Jeff is such a gem! Sounds like you are ready for the baby shower tomorrow! :)

Tsk - Have fun with the girls & enjoy breakfast! :)

We will be going to Los Banos today.  The temp will be about 20 degrees warmer than our 69 here! :o   Hubby has a cousin who works in a food place, so we are going to have lunch there, as she will be retiring at the end of June!  She actually makes the Clam Chowder soup that they serve on Fridays - yum!

Beakers have a nice day!

So those two are out there for Newman to find and train if he hasn't started already.

Time for breakfast.

CLynn luv the Rango this AM, the movie was a real LOL btw.  Tks for WildHeart Ranch's lemur so cute. Awwww. Momo, I do miss you so much!  :-* :-* :-*
Tks ofr update on Estonia osprey nests   for  Iirma & Ivo's /   Marko & Miina's nests. Here's to a speedy repair for those cams.  Eleven years,since  it was Madis & Piret. I think I joined about that time.  Many tks for the rewind on their photos.

OG going thru you vids--- I do have that air quality website on desktop. Really cool classical guitar   ;) Claire is always so loving/attentive w/ her kitties; enjoyed new Walter Santi---the netting is genius.

Lisa  M & B, as we all know, will be in good 'hands' w/Jeff.   Pretty flowers this AM. Busy, Busy, busy is the day for you.

TSK busy day for you too. Glad you're getting out.  We're planning on seeing the Beatrix Potter exhibit at the Frist this season. They'll have her original drawings for the  ' The Tale of Peter Rabbit' , etc. 

E4E  do enjoy your lunch  for me LOL   ;)      sounds yummie

KB great Orca (killer whale) photo. Good Ollieman got his walk. I'm sure in time your skies will be back to normal. It can only get better, I say.

Tig I bet your raspberries are wonderful to eat.  ;D

Kb, love your morning pic... you've been busy this am  ;D

Phyl, Congrats to the two GSB fledgers! It was fun watching both on the video. The one on the left found itself a little hidy hole with leaves. Great flying by the one on the right!! Especially after dad did a food drop for the others.  ;D

Clynn, Did the munchkins have a good time while their parents were gone? Any more pics of their trip? I have such wonderful memories of the Estonia Ospreys and Eagle-Duck's love for them too. I miss him... Some of our favorite nests have been such heartbreakers. But life goes on... :(  ... oh that Keebler!  ;D .... {{{Momo}}}.... prayers for {{{Honey}}}

Lisa, YAY Jeff! How is your mom? Any Miss Fisher Con trips planned?

Tsk, enjoy your time with friends.

Eagles, I wonder what's up with the Hummers? ... Clam chowder! YUM! Have a good time and safe travels!  ;D

Great Spirit Bluffs home of Newman, Thomas, Kami, Alice, Jayce and Mama Savanna in heaven as of a few days ago...
Hi everyone!  I have been so sad about Savanna.  She was such a sweet mama and would visit GSP time to time the past couple of years.  I saw that only 2 were in the box this morning and started to cry and then tuned into explore and found some updates, I was so relieved.  "We become very attached to our fur babies".  :-\
In addition to the tag numbers (see below), Thomas has fledged, Kami is currently on the cliff and Alice and Jayce are still in the box.


Alice and Jayce a few minutes ago... ready... set.. go!!!! part 1

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D

Oldguy, thanks for the air quality link. Glad your AQ has improved. I've had Red Air Quality the last few days in my town, due to wildfire smoke - but not from Canada's fires - from a wildfire the next county over, and I'm downwind of its smoke. My AQ forecast for today was an Orange AQ, but it went red... Right now, right here, my AQ is 169 - Red - Unhealthy.

Lani, Snoopy's having fun!  ;D I love those Katmai bears!  :-*

E4E, way to have an inside connection to a restaurant with some very yummy clam chowder!  :D  New England style (creamy white) clam chowder is my favorite, but I've had some killer good Manhattan Style (red/tomato) clam chowder, too. Enjoy!  :)

Karen, ugh on the vertigo returning. Hope you can get an appt soon for another treatment.

BL, yep, you're right on.  ;)

Lisa, somehow I missed that you're going to ATF again this year. Fun!

Puff, LOL on your crazy fun feeder finch!  ;D

KB and Tig, glad your AQ is a bit improved today. Take whatever precautions are recommended. Exposure is cumulative over time.

Phyl, love your morning pic, and I say, "bwok, bwok; bwok bwok, BWOK!"  ;) ;D  Gotta love the chickens!  :D :-*

Clynn, oh, I just love your pics of Bella and Talon this week! I just can't get over how much Bella has matured recently - seems like almost overnight. They are a joy!  :) :-*  I'm glad Honey feels better.  :-* I don't recall what her ear med was for... maybe to prevent ear infection? I could eat mac and cheese any time of day. Love it for breakfast!  I only eat it as a real treat these days, but I used to make cold mac and cheese salad with leftovers sometimes.  ;)

TSK, glad it was a nice outing to the zoo with the kids!  It must be "zoo week" - LOL - my Lil Sis and a friend went to my state zoo Wednesday.  The US Open Tennis Tournament is the 4th and last major of the year - it will be Aug. 28 - Sept. 10 this year. Wimbledon is the next (3rd) major tennis tournament this year - always over our 4th of July holiday - and it will be held from July 3 - July 16 this year.

Lori, thank you for the additional GSB cam pics, video clips, and info.  :) Successful fledges there are extra joyful this year, in light of recent sad events.  Did Destini hide after her Spa Day?  ;)  I hope it went well.  :) :-*


Triplet Sand Cat kittens were born at the NC Zoo on May 11. They are sooo sweet!  :-* :-* :-* They are now sometimes out where they can be seen with their mom now. My Lil Sis and a friend went to the NC Zoo 2 days ago and they got to see Momma Sand Cat with her 3 new kittens!!  I will attach a picture she took and sent me. She also sent 2 short videos showing them nursing and being licked up nice and clean by their mom, but I can't link those videos here. Sand Cats are native to desert areas of North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Asia, and they are the only cat that lives exclusively in the desert. Very interesting info on this feline species is included in this short article, dated June 2, 2023, about this particular Sand Cat Family, and about their species in general... some very interesting cool facts I never knew about them, such as they are the smallest feline species, and mor, more, more:
https://www.nczoo.org/news/sand-cat-triplets-born-zoo - "Sand Cat Triplets Born at the Zoo"


You can click to enlarge these few pics my Lil Sis took this past Wednesday at the NC Zoo. I asked her to give the Roadrunner a "meep meep!" from me... LOL... I've never seen it sitting down before! - but her picture of it looks like she caught that lazy Roadrunner sitting down!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

SED Baz, New England clam chowder is my favorite too! The Sand cat kittens are adorable, a closer look at their paws and nails tell you they will be fierce. Sweet pic of mama with kittens. Very healthy alligator.

I didn't get around the saying good night last evening. 

I was so tired last night from doing everything, that I went to bed at 6pm, but was awaken several times when the kitties decided to all escape from the room.  They have learned to climb cardboard door that Jeff made to keep them contained.

One of the things I made yesterday for the shower....and it was not a Pinterest fail  ;D

My computer is back! It's been 2 weeks, Erin said they told him it was an update that went awry, nothing wrong with the computer. Something just didn't connect correctly, I have never heard of this issue! Oh well, it's way above my technical grade! They took Gunner to the vet yesterday, they had made the appointment Thursday when he just laid in his kennel all day, they thought it was time. (Gunner is his boxer that has cancer). And then yesterday he was acting his normal wild self! We have the same vet, she told him there would be good days and bad days and she adjusted his meds. Honey is acting more herself every day since I stopped with the med that I rub on the inside of her ear. It was for anti-nausea and appetite enhancement. She is eating fine and hasn't thrown up at all. She is doing more of her normal things, this morning she came upstairs to get me up to feed her! I caught this pic of Bella when they were here, in a cute dress Ed found at the DAV.

Phyl, love Anthony and his view! Very interesting and unfathomable article on the collapsed star! Hard to imagine a quadrillion years...It amazes me how they are able to know all of these things...  :o

Lani, awww, DH2 sound asleep (looks a lot like Phyl's pic of Anthony, they must be around the same age), and the sweet Puffin family Willie, Millie and Duryea!

Lisa, your fruit tray looks worthy of Bon Appetit! Everything will go great for the shower! I am having the kids for dinner this evening for Father's Day, I am cooking a roast, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes/gravy and a salad. A fresh rhubarb pie (neighbors gave me some rhubarb!) for Ed and Sydney, and brownies for Erin and the kids. Those kittens are masters of escaping! I want to just lay on the floor and watch them!

baz, I am so glad Honey is feeling better! The cream I rubbed on the part of her ear with no hair, anti-nausea and appetite. It doesn't go in her ear. Since the A/C is on now I open the sliding door in the morning and let them go out on the deck, they are getting used to it now. We ask several times a day if they want to go out and let them out. Just like a dog, when they want back in they come and stand at the door! Love those sand cat kittens, they are so cute! I thought that might be your alligator, I forgot his name...

Lori, love your beautiful flowers and the wonderful videos of the last two in the GSB nest! Hoping all goes well for all of them! How are you and Destini doing? And your Dad? And your Mom and Grandma? And your brother?

tsk, a nice day for you! We are supposed to get rain starting this afternoon and scattered through the night. 83° high for today, thunderstorms likely this afternoon. Chance of rain 80%. Thunderstorms likely this evening. Then a chance of scattered thunderstorms overnight. Chance of rain 70%. Now that the weather is done, did you post a picture of Lulu watching the movie with you?

kb, looks like you will be getting some rain in the near future! And the air is getting better?

Clynn - I've been praying for rain....maybe tonight?...I've seen this playbook so many times before this summer though so I'm not counting on it...the systems come into my area and then poof...and go around us.

https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/mn/minneapolis/55474

So, I started the sprinkler in back at around 7am...will finish it around 11...as no matter how much I do it there are areas of grass that are still going dormant...

Funny about the air quality...last evening the smoke came in...AQI was around 100 where I live and noticeable although much better than a few days ago.....I contacted ssrl who lives just 10 miles away or so and she had an air quality index of 40....much better...so it can vary widely in the Twin Cities.

KB... It is sooo nice to have all the seeds, etc. off the driveway and this morning I washed down the west side of the house and got the evergreen needles, etc. off the patio. I also washed down the mailbox, welcome mats, railings and back porch. It feels good to have areas clean and fresh. I'll do more of the house later after the garden gets its water. That pollen won't seem to go away this year... sticks to everything.
Talons crossed for rain tonight!
Camper put the weed n feed on the lawn yesterday...

This is a fascinating article from the digital issue of National Geographic Magazine regarding research into alternatives for cats and dogs.
  As it’s contents and features are premium subscription the hyperlinks usually don’t work for non-subscribers.
So I decided to just post the entire article
The photographs are impressive and are protected form copying.   The photo below is the only one that I could ‘copy’

These are some of the 21 female domestic cats at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s Center for  Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) who were participants in the gene therapy study that pioneered a single shot sterilization instead of using general anesthesia and surgery.

Not spayed. Not neutered. This birth control for cats doesn’t require surgery
Scientists have developed a gene therapy contraceptive for cats that could reduce the deaths of birds and mammals. The treatment is easy to administer and lasts a lifetime.
 BYCONNIE CHANG

PUBLISHED JUNE 6, 2023
• 10 MIN READ

In the United States, domestic cats kill up to 4 billion birds and 22 billion small mammals every year. These deaths dwarf other man-made causes of wildlife mortality like accidental poisoning and habitat destruction and pose an imminent threat to the health and diversity of our wildlife. One solution is to rein in cat fertility.
Now a team led by David Pepin, a reproductive biologist from Harvard, and William Swanson, the director of animal research at the Cincinnati Zoo, has developed a novel and safe method of gene therapy contraception to control the population of cats—including pets, feral cats, and community cats, which are fed by people but do not belong to an owner.
“On some islands, populations of feral cats run amok without predators,” leading to the extinction of native mammals, reptiles, and birds, says Roland Kays, an ecologist and mammal conservationist at North Carolina State University. Kays, who has studied the hunting range of pet cats, notes that neighborhoods that border nature preserves or beaches can be particularly problematic for vulnerable, endangered species.
Trap-neuter-return programs—where people trap, neuter, and then release cats—can help control population growth, but veterinarian availability is a bottleneck, Swanson says. “We needed a way to get the highly-trained surgeon out of the picture and allow a layperson to be able to give an injection that prevents cats from reproducing.”
From humans to cats
Pepin stumbled into the world of cat contraception through his interest in how ovarian cancer develops in people.His postdoctoral advisor had been studying anti-Mullerian hormone—which is important in the development of male sex organs in the fetus—as a possible treatment for ovarian cancer. Pepin, however, discovered the hormone had an important impact on the ovary and its follicles—the structures inside the ovaries that house what eventually become eggs.
The hormone “was much more potent than we realized,” Pepin says. “With it, we could basically take over the ovary and control the rate at which follicles develop.” Pepin immediately saw the hormone’s potential as a contraceptive.
In the 1960s, human family planning was revolutionized when researchers introduced oral contraceptives—containing estrogen and progesterone—for women. The pill acts on the later stages of follicular development—but this medication had drawbacks. It sometimes triggers side effects including high blood pressure and blood clots.

Anti-Mullerian hormone acts earlier—on primordial follicles, the population present at birth and before they become sensitive to follicle-stimulating hormone—which is released from the brain’s pituitary gland and stimulates follicle growth in the ovaries. After puberty, these follicles start to mature in batches of roughly 20 with every ovarian cycle, until one is selected to release its egg for possible fertilization. The process is highly coordinated—a dance of positive and negative hormone feedback loops connecting the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the ovary.
Produced by growing follicles, the hormone is part of the negative feedback that prevents primordial follicles from maturing while also slowing the development of others. And unlike estrogen and progesterone—which have receptors throughout the body including the bone, brain, and immune system—the receptors for this hormone are largely confined to the ovaries, pituitary gland, and uterus.
“That means very few side effects,” Pepin says.
But progress had stalled. “Funding in women’s health was low; and particularly in contraception, people felt there was no need to innovate in that space,” Pepin says. That’s when the Michelson Found Animals Foundation stepped in. While surgical contraception takes several minutes (male cats) to half an hour (female cats), the procedure—which requires that the animal be under general anesthesia—still carries risk, such as pain, post-operative bleeding, and infection. Motivated by overcrowded shelters and animal welfare concerns, the non-profit financed research to develop non-surgical, permanent contraceptives for pets.
Gene therapy contraception
With the foundation’s support, Pepin expanded his work to include cats. To test the hormone’s impact on this new population, he and his collaborators used gene therapy—a strategy in which a gene encoding the hormone is inserted into cells to produce higher-than-normal levels of the molecule in cats.

The researchers injected a virus carrying the feline version of the hormone’s gene into the muscles of six animals. In addition, the researchers injected three cats with viruses that did not contain the gene to serve as the controls for the experiments. The process is permanent—the gene integrates into the DNA of the cats’ muscle cells and continues to pump out the hormone for years—stalling follicle development to such a degree that the follicles never release an egg for fertilization.

When the researchers investigated the level of various hormones present in the blood and feces after treatment, however, they were surprised to discover that many—notably estrogen—were unchanged compared to controls. This implies that some follicles made it out of the primordial stage and were secreting the hormone. So, rather than stopping these follicles in their tracks, the situation is more nuanced.
“A few follicles still activated, but they didn’t mature like they normally would; they were stunted,” Pepin says. Yet, due to strong feedback mechanisms, this small cadre of follicles was still capable of producing near-normal amounts of estrogen—an important detail given the hormone’s importance for bone and cardiovascular health.
During the cycle, however, the follicles did “peter out,” their development arrested before they could ovulate.
Mating trials, in which the cats were housed with a fertile male cat, confirmed that the hormone treatment suspended fertility. Although two of the six treated female cats mated with the male cat, none became pregnant. In contrast, all three control cats had two to four kittens when they were allowed to mate. That the treated cats that mated did not get pregnant suggests that although estrogen levels appear normal, the hormone had an impact that blocked ovulation and led to infertility
Pepin acknowledges that their work could sound scary. “We’ve made a virus that causes infertility—many science fiction stories start out like this.” But you can put fears of a global infertility plague aside. Adeno-associated viruses can’t replicate, so there’s no risk of spreading this birth control. They also don’t work across species.
Future goals include reducing the cost of gene therapy, finding efficient ways to administer it, and devising a version of the treatment for dogs. Pepin also co-founded a company to explore AMH’s use in people, including injecting just the hormone directly which, unlike gene therapy, would be completely reversible.
For cat-owner Grant Sizemore, a conservation biologist with the American Bird Conservatory in Washington, D.C., the threat that cats pose to wildlife is clear and present. “Cats could very well be the nail in the coffin for many species—they’re just such effective and pervasive predators and their numbers are so vast in the environment,” he says. They’re also a source of diseases like the parasite-caused toxoplasmosis, which can decimate endangered species like the Hawaiian monk seal and the Hawaiian crow.
But Sizemore is not a fan of programs that sterilize cats and then return them to the environment. “These programs purposely maintain cats on the landscape and a sterilized cat will still hunt and kill wildlife. It will still contribute to disease concerns,” Sizemore says. He also questions the efficacy of these strategies, citing research that demonstrated that they failed to curb cat population growth in two counties in Florida and California.
A 2019 analysis of various strategies, however—including removing cats, sterilizing them, and taking no action—indicate that high-intensity sterilization, in which at least 75 percent of the population is treated, could be an effective way to cut cat numbers by 50 percent over a ten-year period.
According to Swanson, who has worked on this project for the past seven years, the comparative ease of a gene therapy solution will boost that effectiveness. “This really could be game changing, if we can get it to work as well as we hope.”

CLYNN   Funny poem from the cat  LOL   YAY  Back on your PC.  Two weeks was forever.  Cute little Bella in her own world  :D   I had forgotten Gunner had cancer.  Glad both he and Holly are having some good days.  :-*   Yes I posted the pic of Lulu sitting on my lap while I watched Top Gun Maverick.  She was actively watching which I thought was funny.    WOW  that bannister   :o :o  Dinner sounds good for Father's day. :D

KAREN   Yesterday I was in Milwaukee but I take 94 which turns west to get to my brothers - the sky was black in downtown Milw.  Not so when I got to my brothers several miles west.  Did not notice in Chicagoland.

KB   LOL  Play time.  How can you not smile at that.  AQI reminds me that I can get a good rainfall and Barb who lives a mile or so away won't get anything  LOL  It has happened

EAGLES  Fun time yesterday with surprise guest  ;)  Did you get some extra chowder for take-out?

LANI   LOLOL  Cute pick of the "cat legs"  ;) ;)

T40   I tested the cat nose touching.  Lulu doesn't mind at all.  ;D   Cat fail - so funny but there are blind spots for cats - that mouse must have known that. ;)    Had to watch the first bonus twice  LOLOL   Eagles and the fishing boat  ::)   Hoist the colors - Very cool voices  Thanks

Just for the record tsk  Not a drop  of water yesterday in my guage.  Very difficult to be accurate forecaster in greater Chi area.

LANI    This was a graduation party weeks after the actual event.  Lots invited to the open house - most I did not know but did know family members of her husband's family who I've gotten to know through the years.  My great niece is now volunteering this summer at the theater group she just left.  She loves it  " Part babysitter for the young kids and assistant to the director"  LOL

Phyl, The GSB kids are looking great, I hope the 4th one is somewhere safe!  Very red sunrise on the Flyway, Anthony is almost there! Good article on cats.

kb, looks like you will get some rain today! There goes another prediction... ;D

tsk, now I see the pic of Lulu watching tv with you! For some reason it wasn't there for me yesterday! We got a good rain last night, around 9:00 it was pouring and I think it went off and on during the night. Looks like a couple of weeks of HOT days coming up. 84 today 90 tomorrow and the next and the next... your Great Niece sounds like a busy girl, and full of energy!

Lisa, I bet you were tired after the shower! Saw pictures in FB, your food looked beautiful! Bet you can't wait for that little girl to get here!

T40, thanks for all the videos!

Thanks Phyl  Remembering Dad - Miss him so, of course.  As I work outside today many tears will be sprinkled on the yard.  He admittedly was the major influence in developing this person (me).  Lost him way back in '83, only 65.

I have to share this. . .As I work on the yard and garden, I'm in the midst of his influence.  Big milestone happening - time to deal with donating the garden fence to recycle bags.  He hand made my red/black/gold oriental fence to go around the vegetable garden.  (Black pickets, red cutout cirles, gold balls as the top of each picket, and a oriental script meaning abundance proudly hanging at the entrance gate.  83 hand-designed and cut pickets of oak (?) I forget.  Installed in 1973, weather won the fight.  Returned itself to dust.  Plastic, wire, mesh, and chicken wire help as a barrier of sorts - but just never will be "right".  One of many house gifts he made, gave.

I have one lasting indoor momento that has survived safely indoors.  Dad was really handy and kept busy "downstairs".  The above mentioned safe object is my rocking elephant.  As my brothers and sister had their families, he made them actual rocking horses, rocking elephant (sister-in-law's fav animal), 5 ft high giraffe clothes valet for my sister's babies' room.   I never did kids - but in his ingenuity he scaled down the above mentioned elephant into a 1 1/2 foot hugh rocking elephant for me.  It still lives with me.  The fence and elie will always live in my soul.

Thanks all for your patience and for listening.

Making a meatloaf for later and his favorite french toast in a few. I'll be sweeping the street along our curb in a couple days... in honor of my Dad and his ever-present attention to this home he built in 1951.

Boo hoo....once again it went poof once the system hit what we call the 494-694 loop...the freeways surrounding the Twin Cities...my driveway didn't even get totally wet all at once...very light mist is all.

This has occurred so far all season...they will say storms in the area, but they are to the west or east of the Twin Cities.

Hmm....heat dome affect?.....and/or solar array panels in farmer's fields to the south and west of us.
Huge numbers of farmers have sold/leased their fields for these and some research has shown they alter the temperature of the storms as they pass over..

I'll believe it when I sees it...rain that is..

Yep, KB. The meteorologist dialed the radar differently this morning ... the map went from showing lots of green to just a few globs of blue... to show where the rain was actually hitting the ground. A big difference. I'm thankful we got a few drops of "real" rain though.

Please bear with me as I haven't checked in here since yesterday morning  :-[

Tsk - No we didn't bring some Chowder home with us following lunch on Friday, as we had other stops to make on the way home, and once we started heading home - lots of traffic - it took 2 hours.  We sure enjoyed it though!
That is wonderful of your G-niece to volunteer this summer at the Theatre group - I'm sure she is greatly appreciated! :)

Baz - 'Fatbit' funny!

Phyl - Beautiful Father's day prayer.  Thank you for posting MpMom's pic of Anthony hovering.

Kb - Nice pic of Redtail pair.

LisaG - Thanks so much for sharing these lovely pics! Gorgeous decorations and everything looks so pretty and food all looks so delicious - love the cupcake giraffe!!  Love the family pic - very nice!!

Tig - Your Dad will be smiling on you today as you sweep  :-* :)

LisaG - Hopefully the kitties let you get a good night's rest!  I may have missed something; smaller baby 'Scarlett' and another bigger baby?  Did I overlook something you posted here or are you and Tsk referring to something on fb?

Phyl - That was a wonderful Father's Day gift; to make and bring Jim breakfast upstairs this morning! ;D  Sweet picture of your Dad holding you. :)  I too, miss my Dad who passed in 2018.  I sometimes dream about him.

Lani, yes, Father's Day was good for both Erin and Ed! I tried a new rhubarb pie recipe, with a crumbly topping and Ed said it was delicious! I think it was the topping and that it was fresh rhubarb that made it so good! Talon and Bella love their Dad and Mom so much, it is a joy to see them together. Erin loves to tease them, and they love it! Ah, Iris...

E4E, my Dad also passed away in 2018 he was 87. He lived a good life, coming from nothing during the Great Depression and ending up with three daughters who all have good lives and the same wife for 67 years!

BL, sweet memory of your Dad...  ;D

Phyl, love the pic of your Dad holding you when you were a tiny baby...  I bet Jim loved his breakfast in bed!  What a nice gift!

Lisa, did the kitties let you sleep last night? It's always a big relief when something you are in charge of is over....

Puff, wonderful memories, thanks for sharing...

tsk, I can't keep up with Erin's family, I forgot how it was to be that young!  :o :o

clynn and Phyl - The answer is no. If Misty would stop coming in the room and her whining/talking to them, we could all get some sleep.  And, there is no shutting the door to the room, cause the kitties scratch on the back of the door and Misty scratches on the front of the door.   ::)

Lani - Thanks for the kind words about baby shower and all.  You asked the other day if Mama was going to any Miss Fisher Con's this year.  Yes, she is.  It is a week after I am in Decorah, and it's in St. Paul, MN. 

E4E - Yes, the mention of Baby Scarlett was a pic on my Facebook.  Let me share the pic here.

HI EVERYONE

65 heading to 81 and sunny.  We are in  severe drought conditions.  No rain until maybe nest Sunday night into Monday  :P

PHYL  So great to have those treasures from Dad.

TIG  Nice win for Clark yesterday

EAGLES  They were pics from FB

CLYNN   Did you get the scoop on the cruise?   When watching the PBS  " FDR"  there was a lot of the Great Depression that most of our parents lived through yet never really spoke about, in our family anyway.  Such a terrible time.    Somehow I don't remember our family or those of my friends ever being that busy.  Lots more structured things for kids to do now.  Beautiful loons

LISA   LOLOL  The gym on my bed was open from 1:15 AM to 1:30 AM when Lulu and mouse went through some gymnastics.  Then I got the jump all over me wake up call at 6 AM today.  ::) ::)   Now times all that by 7 for you.   :o :o    Mom heading to St Paul for Miss Fisher - fun.

Waiting for hh person to arrive at 11 and pt between 1 and 2!   Lisa, I would love those kitties crawling all over me but they wouldnt awaken me!  Very sound sleeper once I fall asleep!

Lani - Cute 'nite' pic! 

Clynn - Nice treat you made for Ed - Rhubarb pie for Father's day!  I had forgotten that your Dad passed in 2018, the same as my Dad, and they were the same age; 87!
Love 'that's so Minnesota' picture!

Phyl - Like the 'Mr. Two Harbors' pic!  All good cam pics  :)  So sad you lost your Dad in 1983 - I miss my Dad so much too.

Tsk - Nice weather temps, but not good to know your area is in severe drought conditions. :o

A river dolphin....almost looks like it's on a paddle board, LOL.

Happy Monday all.

Been watering out front since 7am...hand, sprinkler and soaker hose...have the soaker hose going in back now and will hand water some as well yet.

In the 90's for the next 5 days here and no rain. Also a drought with very little rain since early May and almost all days above average temps.

My dilemma: haven't mowed since last Sunday in back....with our drought it's not that tall and I hate to mow it with this heat, but I have seedling silver maple trees growing in it all over even though I did my best to mow/mulch them up earlier....hmm....
Not sure at this point what I'll do....wait till next week? or mow early before noon on a day this week.

Whatever moves me in the moment I guess.

That's one good thing about aging kb  Lots of opportunities to pick and choose what to do and when to do it.   All on my someday list.  Sat on patio for 15-20 minutes and watched my robin family play in the sprinkler, puddles, and bird baths this morning, sipping my tea.  It's OK - I deserve it.  Now I have some kids coming in 1/2 hour to help with weeds and garden.  Guess I should get dressed.   ::)   :o

Lani, thanks for the sloth reports and bird news!   Hope the kids are doing or did a good job weeding!
The worst problem with a drought is the news for farmers, animals and birds.  Grocery prices will stay up for produce with the drought in Illinois and other parts of the midwest!  Folks can decide what to do with small yards and gardens as long as there isn’t a  water rationing!   I have read, do not mow and if you do set the mower to cut high!   Not our problem this year, so far!

KAREN  You are getting a lot of rain.  Bro and I were discussing the fact that we very seldom get an old fashioned thunderstorm any more.      My Mom used to have a rhubarb patch as well.  I had thought about it but Tim doesn't like rhubarb so I just pick it up at the farmer's market when in season and make a bunch of strawberry rhubarb sauce and freeze in small containers for me  ;D

KB   I would not mow.  Let the grass " shade itself".  That's my vote.  could be all wrong  LOL

PUFF  SIL Barb texted this AM about 6:30.  She was sitting on her enclosed porch with a view of her entire back yard gardens and was blown away when she saw a hummer taking a bath in a little pool of water on a hosta leaf!!!

LANI  Thanks for the sloth report - At the zoo last week they have a sloth environment - never any action  LOL   I didn't win in the albatross naming contest  LOL  Good win tho  Manaaki who we seeing stretching those wings ;D

Lani - love the news about these albatross.

Chris and I started the latest David Attenborough series about mass migrations....
Can't watch him anymore...in the second episode he showed the Layson albatross (NW of Hawaii) and the migration of the tiger sharks that wait for the fledging of both the black footed albatross and the Layson albatross...well you can only imagine what he shows....
For me, when it's all negative (sprinkled with a little inspiration) in his shows well I won't "hear" his message anymore thank you very much, LOL

Puff - I hope you mean retirement age and not working instead of age.... ;) ;) at 71 I feel oh I don't know just fine. It's not my age that is determinate of whether or not to mow....it's the heat and what's best for the grass but sure do hate looking at tree seedlings all over.
So yes, due to retirement I can chose...I will let my muse take over for me on this decision.

tsk - just read your post.....you are probably correct...will need to not look out there and let those trees bug me for a bit longer, LOL

karen - I wish I slept like a log, but I am a very light sleeper and hear everything. Be safe with that weather.  Mama called earlier from her car, and I could hear it beating down on the windshield.  That is what Jeff does with the mowing, sets it higher.

E4E - You're welcome.   :)

kb - Oh, I have to change the channel when I see shows like that. 

Lani - Yea, I cannot keep Misty away from those kitties.   ;D  Thank you for the TRR update.  Good to see everyone is doing good. Awww, SP finally has an official name.  Mannaki, very pretty.

Good Evening Beakers

It was on the hot side today - official high of 87, but my car said it was 93 - ACI of 75 today, so hazy but breathable...  Only got 1/4 inch of rain for the weekend - all in a half hour in the middle of the night.  Low 90s and dry for the week.

Grilled chicken breasts and hamburgers for the card game - won 1 out of 3 - most of the night was bad hands until the last 2 hands of game 3 - was down by almost 4000 points to win it by going out with both teams over 10k points

Went to our favorite Mexican place for lunch on Sunday and then relaxed for the rest of the day...

KAREN  You are getting a lot of rain.  Bro and I were discussing the fact that we very seldom get an old fashioned thunderstorm any more.      My Mom used to have a rhubarb patch as well.  I had thought about it but Tim doesn't like rhubarb so I just pick it up at the farmer's market when in season and make a bunch of strawberry rhubarb sauce and freeze in small containers for me  ;D

KB   I would not mow.  Let the grass " shade itself".  That's my vote.  could be all wrong  LOL

PUFF  SIL Barb texted this AM about 6:30.  She was sitting on her enclosed porch with a view of her entire back yard gardens and was blown away when she saw a hummer taking a bath in a little pool of water on a hosta leaf!!!

LANI  Thanks for the sloth report - At the zoo last week they have a sloth environment - never any action  LOL   I didn't win in the albatross naming contest  LOL  Good win tho  Manaaki who we seeing stretching those wings ;D

They are so entertaining!!!  Even the kitchen bay - I had variety of 10 between the two hanging feeders - can't see the pole feeder but there could have been more.  More baby goldfinch and housefinch showing up.

I've been meaning to mention - there has been quite a few mini monarchs here this summer.   Viceroy?

Lots of scenes to watch - My actual written list marked out 2 of  five.  Errand day tomorrow.  Oh, well, guess that defaults to Wednesday.  LOL    :P

Hurricane Brett has formed in the Atlantic and is expected to enter the Caribbean!  Cindy is probably forming behind Brett.  These storms
Are quite unusual as they normally do not form in this area this early.  Due to climate change the Atlantic ocean is much warmer than it normally is in June and it is feeding these storms!   Hang  in there Baz!

We came downstairs to cool off, watch the tele and hit the sack....

I didn't and still don't see it...but he's guarding the other side of the bed, LOL

Karen - Nice memory of your Grandmother's Rhubarb pie - I bet it was so delicious!!

Kb - My suggestion with the drought is to hold off on mowing!  The longer grass will help shade the ground.

Puff - Always fun to watch the birds - enjoy the Robins and any other birds that come your way! ;D

Lani - Thank you for Sloth updates!  Thank you for Albatross!

Tig - Wow, you spent a good amount of time in your yard - hope you got to rest!

Tsk - How fun that your SIL got to see a hummer bathing in a little pool of water!

Kb - I am with you - I would feel as you do with watching David Attenborough series of mass migrations.  I would not keep tuning in, as my heart would go out to the small youngsters.  I have such a soft heart - that I cry at most things anymore. :-[

Tig - Have a nice evening out for dinner and celebrating Camper's Granddaughter.

LisaG - You don't get enough sleep, so any rest you can get - go for it because you deserve and need it! ;D

OG - Glad you won 1 out of 3 - sounds like a rough night at cards!  Happy you had a nice Father's Day! ;D

Puff - Yaay for the finches you are seeing!  ;D

Kb - Ollie and that pesky fly! ::)  Hope by now he has taken care of it!

Beakers have a good night.

Karen how were you 'downpours'?  We had a huge one just as Jim was setting up the grill for the sausages.  Didn't take us
any time to put it all away in a snap and push a button to roll in the Sunsetter. Any day is wash day. But, Friday is Ironing Day for sure. LOL

Very cheerful bouquet today {{{E4E}}}. Yeah I know you miss your dad.  My dad was 40 when  I was born and died when he was 63. I didn't know
him very long.  He had a rare blood disorder and  I have a rare blood disorder . I've all ready out lived him.

Hi Puff
Tsk nice hummer story
KB the river dolphin almost  looks albino. Paddle board, I thought so too.

Lani  tks for Royal Albatross report---Mannaki looks so soft and esp fluffy

Karen don't remind me about the weeding LOL.

Bazi Batten down the hatches---hope you're all safe and sound. Tks for update Karen

Tig wishing Camper's granddaughter much success with 'bootcamp' and school. Olive Garden is a nice dinner out.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Well, I've finally gotten to read all the posts - loved them all... want to reply to so many of them! That's going to have to wait though. I'm too pooped to pop. And Zippo is still up!! !! !! I have to put her to bed. Now. Oh, gee... At least she likes hanging out with me while I'm on the computer at night - it's her late-night-snacktime.  ;) :D :-*

Today was busy with a few errands and lots of doctor office waiting time... but I was glad they could "work me in." I'm fine... as far as I know - I just decided to let the good people who are paid to do it decide if there's something that still needs fixing, or if my body and I already did it for them.  ;) :D  I'm pretty sure it's the latter, but the former will pend their decision on that till all lab results are back. So I was the good donor "on the slab in the lab" today. "Rocky Horror" reference... I'm so bad for that...  ;D ;D  It's a rare thing for me to go to the doctor when I'm pretty sure I'm already healed before I decided to go. LOL. But it was a possible/probable uti, and I decided not to take a chance on that getting into something more involved, especially since folks in my age range very often don't have the usual classic symptoms of such, and can get a big bad surprise with that going on "tilt" in a flash. I think I'm good though. Just going to let them rule out anything possibly being sneaky in the background.

Karen, you had a yummy salad with jumbo shrimp yesterday. Mmm, good! My dinner today was shrimp salad. It was good, but not the same as salad with jumbo shrimp. LOL. I won't have to "Wash on Monday" if I can get Zippo to learn from The Clever Hen, from "The Real Mother Goose" rhyme that I attached below.  ;)

Oh, gosh, here I go trying to post replies... I have got to get Zippo to bed! And I'm tired. I will try to get my reply posts in tomorrow.


 
Waving to All!  :) Those with severe weather about, please stay weather aware and safe.

G'night Beakers. Peace. SED.

Tig, Congratulations and many good wishes sent for Camper's granddaughter, and talon's crossed for those tough times! Sounds like a great celebration of family and food.

Oldguy, good to see you... tough card night, but a winner at the end!! Glad you had a nice Sunday! Thanks for link... I don't know what to think about Anthony LOL  ;D ... Manul cat Polly and Lev  :-* .... the Agave plant will be a stunning treat for her and neighbors... Maru  :-*

I started this post at 6:30am, and as I mentioned to clynn...I have been chasing a certain kitty around the house!

Morning tsk, E4E, and all   :)

karen -  ;D

Puff - Happy Heavenly Birthday to Ton!

kb - Thanks for the heads up on National Bald Eagle Day.  Very pretty trumpeter swan. 

clynn - Love all your morning pics, so bright and cheery.  Thanks for posting the pics of some of the kitties.  I have been chasing one escapee around the house all morning, Midnight.  Man is she fast!
Oh, I cannot watch those SPCA commercials on TV, just so sad!

tig - Enjoy your dinner tonight with Bro & SIL for Camper. 

Phyl - Thanks for cam pics.  It was a lil better last night.  ;)

Lani - Thanks!  How is Aly doing?  Is she liking her new job, the move, all that?

Heavenly birthday Ton! {{{Hugs Puff}}} :-*

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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 and All!

Lori, love your card for Puff  :)

Lisa, Aly's legal in Oregon. She has a nameplate on the office building!! She has her name on two home rentals. She's desperate. One smells terrible and is near a busy highway no fence for Dewey or dog park nearby. The other is right next to a children's park, but it's clean and fenced for a dog. Dewey hates children and avoids them at the dog park. The swingset is right in view of the home's kitchen door! LOL!!! ... Oh Midnight  :-*

Eagles, Lisa Aly put her name on two home rental listings yesterday. Talons crossed she gets one of them.

Phyl, nice pic of Black eagle family, cute little white puffy head ... another nice hovering by Anthony.  ;D ... thanks for posting LiveScience info, I'll read it today.

Clynn, sweet pic of WF osprey family, thanks to Nr, glad to see the two chicks are doing well.... awww those sweet kittens, love the one sleeping on feet.  ;D

Kb, love the cat's expression! sweet pic of mama swan .... I don't walk Sadie after 8am, usually we're already out the door by 5:45am and wait till after 5pm to take her out again. Her dark color attracts the heat too. In Mesa, Shannon walks her dog before 7am, if she gets home from work after 3am, she'll walk her then, and then go to bed. And then not again until the next morning. I'm amazed at the idiots that walk their dog around noon here, the sidewalk/road would be terrible on their paws. Humans should go barefoot to see how they would like it!!!  We're hitting high 80's this week and going into 90's Sunday! We've been blessed with cool weather, though not a drop of moisture for weeks. It's dry and dusty.

KB  Love the cat's expression.  ;D  Teamwork on the fly  LOL

LANI   Wishing this will be it for Aly (((ALY)))

KAREN  Too bad - Hope the next HH Aide is even better!!!

Lori - Hey, girl....good to see ya!  Nice card for Puff. 

Lani - Fingers crossed for Aly and Dewey! 

karen - Aww, hate to hear you are losing one of the HH workers you like.  Hopefully, the next one you will like just as much.

tsk - It's only 79 here today, and the AC has not stopped running.  Weather app says, its drizzling outside, and I don't see one drop!  ::)

A few kitty pics....Sweet Daisy, Brutus & Angus and nap time for Midnight & Raven!

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Someone splain it Lucy for me, please?  ;)  I'm corn-fused... I'm happy to see the 2 sweet ospreylets in the WF nest  :-* :-* but I thought NR had posted a few days ago that the WF nest had lost its hatchlings.  ???  What did I miss about that?

Lisa, OMG... the pics here of the KIT-TEEEEEZZZ!!! Lounging all over and around Jeff.  ;D :D :D :D  Sooo sweeeeet!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* That's 11 kisses, LOL - one for each of the 7 Kittens, 1 for Misty, the Mom, 1 for Bandit, the Stalwart Feline of the House, 1 for Jeff and 1 for you, the Bestest Pet Foster Parents!  :D

Gotta run... back later... Waving to All the Beakers!  :D


Oh... P.S. A baby "Swampy, Jr." !!!!! appeared this morning in my pond - lounging on Turtle Island all by his lonesome. Very small - maybe 18 inches long, including the tail? I didn't locate Swampy at the same time, but Swampy is always around - I watched Swampy smiling and chomping on "sumpin" unknown in the pond over the weekend.  ;) :D

Tks for posting NR's  WF's nest---looks good.  Esp. thanks for sharing Lisa's FB post of the kitties.  Pains me that in just a few, we'll never see them again. 

Kb tks for trumpter S. in AK

Hi E4E that coffee looks delish;       tks  :-*

Lisa pretty flowers this AM;      it's too tough for me to watch those ASPCA and SPCA, PETA commercials much less the dozens of mail solitations.  I keep a prayer candle burning 24/7 to St Francis. 

This aside---way too funny you and Midnight haveing a 'gad about'.   Tks to Jeff for the snaps--- love them all.   :-*

Tig - Did you & Camper have a nice dinner out for his birthday?

LisaG - Wish you & Jeff could get a good night's rest!

Lori - Sweet message to Puff for Ton's heavenly birthday.

Lani - Love the beautiful turtle pic!  Wow, walking the dog so early - my son does the same!  My son walks his sweet dog at 4 a.m., and leaves his house @ 6 to head into work.

Karen - Hopefully you will like the replacement - so hard when you get used to one person and then not to know who is coming on next.

LisaG - Sweet pics of kittys - so cute Midnight & Raven sleeping - they obviously feel so safe and comfortable in your beautiful home!

Tig - Yaay! A toad!   We were talking the other day with neighbors and we were saying that when we moved here in 1991, that we used to see little frogs in our yard, but for years now, no frogs, so sad. :o ::) :(

Karen - That is good news!! Baby finches!! ;D :-*

Lani - Good for Aly in getting her request in for those rentals.  She has to keep her irons in the fire!  Glad she keeps going forward and keeping her eyes and ears open.  Squeaky wheel gets the grease - keep at it Aly!  Something will work out! 'Thumbs up'!

Kris & I worked on our new 'sister' storage shed!  We are calling it the 'sister shed' as he built the first one in 2020 and is building a 2nd identical one! I should almost have a tool belt on!! Lol!  He complimented me on how much help I am!  :)

Puff - My hubby's best friend passed in 2021 and his birthday is today too (6/20).  It is a good day to shine on some wonderful folks.   Hugs for you Puff. :-*

Beakers have a good night.

Lisa, love the kittens and their names are perfect.

Baz, "Swampy Jr!" looks like Swampy's been busy over the winter. Nr said there were 3 osprey chicks and one died.  :(

Phyl, gorgeous sunset pic!

Kb, mama and babies  ;D

Eagles, Talons crossed Aly gets something this week. Her things arrive Thursday.

Phyl, sand cranes on the Flyway!  Cute little Summer guy! Did Anthony fledge or is that a great hover? Will read later, Munchkins today!

Lani, fingers crossed for Aly, and for the best place...

E4E, that's wonderful, that Kris complimented you on your assisting skills! How cute would it be you made them 'He Shed' and 'She Shed'! Decorate accordingly!

kb, wow, that moose had to be huge, carrying 3 mooselettes!

Lisa, the kittens are so pretty and lively, love the way they climb all over Jeff and nap on his feet! I don't know which one I would pick, I want them all!

tsk, had to laugh at your 'Tim - you would need to drive to Maryland ". That would be some trip back to Chicago, but what the heck, Tim is also a cat lover!

baz, Swampy Jr, only 18 inches long, how cute!  Do you think there is a Mrs. Swampy out there in the swampy bog?

Hi all...

This is what our Indigo did to my Mom, Dad, and me when we first met... all on her own. She stopped playing with her brother and jumped into our laps, one at a time with a big hug for each. Love at first sight indeed.

Tig - omg, so sweet...best friends....I had to watch that over and over!

Lisa - I don't leave the house with Ollie without a large thermos of cold water...we communicate well with each other, mostly....Ollie stops in a shaded spot and rubs his neck in the green grass that is available and that's when I offer him water which he always takes...
Wasn't too bad this morning...left around 7am.

Two more points to think about, Lisa -- It was a young/smaller squuirrely - could be learning a vital/fatal lesson.  Then, too, HD2 never took the clue to learn she is allowed and encouraged to get her own breakfast.  Maybe there will be more advanced learning from Lesson 2.   LOL

Tasha - UPDATE June 20, 2023

I’m not sure who took this, but it is such professional quality that I had to pass it on. It’s Tasha in her new pen waiting for all the construction to get over so she can explore the big enclosure again. Good job, whoever took it. Thank you.

Our friend Moe who took many videos of Bear Center activities has been gone for two years with back issues. He has returned and here are three 3-minute videos of Sharon with each of the three ambassador bears. Thank you Moe! Good to see you.

Munchkin Day---eager to read what fun things you and Bella did.  A real physco-delic morning today.  ;D  :)  The tee-shirt LOL, one more letter and  :oLOL

Lisa lovely flowers this AM, tks.  The kitties--- :-* :-* :-*

Puff when I peeked in on N1 and saw the squirrel there I said 'You better ' high-tail" it out of there if you know what's good.

Lani many thanks for Dr. Roger's report; glad Moe is better now . Not sure which video I like best, Tasha, Holly or Lucky---just gotta love 'em all. Sharon does great work wiht the bears.  ;) Nice new 'digs' for Tasha.  ;)

Lani - Yes - I sure hope Aly gets some good news this week!  Fingers crossed that she gets a place that would work out well for her. :)
Pinata treats for the Bears!!  Thank you for sharing the link and for Bearstudy info!

Puff - Dangerous place for that squirrel! ;)   Another hug from me (just because) {Puff} :)

Tig - I love that link for 'love at first sight' of the man being surprised with the big puppy!  They showed this on the Today Show this morning - I loved it!!

E4E - Yes, it seems like time has flown by with the kittens.  Jeff had to stop at AC this evening to pick up a flier that if you scan the code, it automatically brings up the adoption form.  They told him, if we ever wanted to be fosters again that we could.

The Munchkins were good yesterday, we went to the park, played in the yard and more...Talon was on the laptop most of the time inside, but Bella worked on some of her Barbie's hair after I worked on hers! We painted and I swear she spent an hour at the sink playing in the water!

Lani, loved reading the Bear Report and watching the videos! They are getting a wonderful upgrade, the dens look great. It will be interesting to see what Tasha and Holly do this fall when it's time to den!  You can tell that Sharon is in charge around there and that the bears are like her children!  Lynn has a good person watching over those bears... Have my fingers crossed and prayers going out for Aly to get that place you spoke of. Close to the park would be great!

Puff, I missed giving you a hug on Ton's Heavenly Birthday... Love hearing your memories...

oldguy, can't you trade weekends with someone so you can go to ATF? Maybe you've already tried...it's just sad that you won't be able to go...

Lisa, do you and Jeff think you would like to foster again? It will be hard to let them go, but think of all the families that will be made happier because they have one of them! I think the rescue shelters do a good job of screening applicants, at least they did here when we got Harley. Love Jeff's pictures!

Phyl, I agree, I think Anthony has fledged, at least it sure looks like it! He was tired, sound asleep this morning! Wonder if he is dreaming of his new freedom! So is there now one GSB kid that hasn't fledged yet? I hope they all do well and that Newman is able to keep track of all them!! Are we doing Throwback Thursdays? Yay! I sometimes think of all the things that the Munchkins won't even have a clue about:

GOOD MORNING ALL

65 heading to 83 sunny

LANI   Can't even think about that sub - Just tragic.     So Aly actually got to see one of the houses.  Prayers she gets that one.  It will be interesting what the bears do with their own dens - may still try to make new ones?   What a great evening photo!!

PHYL   Never had a view - master myself but friends did   ;)

CLYNN  Like the "whole box of crayons".   Bella is a very busy little girl.  She is going to do great in school  :D     Loved the throwback items - Still use a sifter on occasion  LOL     Otters are just the cutest.  Always an attraction at the zoo

tig - Cool on the purple streaks in hair!  Enjoy your long drive the weekend before ATF.

oldguy - Thanks for the Q-Kids video.  Aww, you will be missed in Decorah!

Lani - To be honest, I don't think I could do this again.  I did it so we could adopt Misty, but yes, it is going to be VERY hard to let the kittens go tomorrow!  Beautiful photo from the person in your community. Fingers crossed for Aly & Dewey!!

Phyl - No, I don't think I can do it again.  It is already upsetting me that I have to give these guys up tomorrow.   :'(  Thanks for the cam pics.  Yay, Alice!!

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins and looks like they had a great time.  Ohhh, love all that vintage household stuff.  I do have a sifter like the one in your pic, but it is all silver.  Loved when my Maw Maw fried chicken in the electric skillet.

tsk - I would love to be on that beach in your morning greeting.

Stormy morning here!  Alert until 10! Very dark outside now! :'(
Do not like my hair cut!   I kept saying, do not cut my bangs too short and she did!   I look like a basketball with fringe!  Lolol!  The good thing is that it will grow and I do not have an important date real soon!  Purple streaks?    Have to see this!   Picture?
Old guy, sorry you will miss atf!
I agree that Anthony has fledged!  I wonder about Iris!  She cant keep a man! Nice house, plenty of food! 
Weather moving out! 
Clynn, good pictures!   Looks like a full and fun day at your house.   How is Honey and do you have to use the anti nausea meds?
Lani, hope .aly gets the house!
Lisa, does ac have adopters waiting for kittens?   They have posted the pictures!  I feelso sad for you and Jeff! These kitties still need mama!

tig - Thanks  :-*

karen - I know there was some other kittens that they were looking for fosters that they had posted pics of.  I think our kitties will be spayed/neutered first and then have their pics taken and posted on their website.  At least that is what they told me.  Jeff has a few people that have contacted him about the kitties, but they will need to fill out the adoption form thru AC, but I don't think AC has any adopters lined up yet.  I did see this weekend adoption fees were free!

Lisa, I do not like free adoptions!  As you know, pet ownership is not cheap and entails more than feeding uality food and playing!  If someone cnnot afford to pay an adoption fee they cannot afford to own an animal! Jmho but my mind cnt be changed! Iwish you could keep them until they have adopters!   I spoke to Misty and she agrees!   Lol

Tsk, meant to sk how your pt went and what you learned about your back!   Hope things are looking up!

I am sure Misty agrees!   ;D

The adoption fee isn't always free.  From what I have noticed about our Animal Shelter, which is run by the County which I use to work for, they do the free adoptions as an incentive to get people to come in and adopt a pet.  Those that don't have to pay the adoption fee, still have to fill out an application to adopt a pet.

Seal Island Puffin Burrow Cam - posted by Audubon Celeste

Happy Summer Solstice! Summer is officially here, which means we can expect longer days and warmer temperatures. Still waiting on the warmer temps, though, as it hasn’t gotten warmer than 70 degrees here in Maine in a while!
Our puffins, who spend their summers breeding here off the Gulf of Maine, are in sync with the season. This is a busy time for them (and the myriad other seabirds who inhabit Seal Island!), seeing as they’re now engaged in chick feeding and rearing.
Evidence of this comes from our on-cam burrow, where Duryea is growing steadily. He’s becoming quite the rotund little puffling! After a valiant battle with a butterfish last week, it looks like Duryea’s diet has returned to the much more easily digestible food. Willie and Millie are great at ensuring little Duryea doesn’t go hungry!

Tsk, I bet Tasha will try to redo this new den. She's a worker, Holly is lazy.  ;D

Clynn, the kids look great and enjoying being cozy in your family room ... I have Mike's grandmother's metal hand mixer and it works.  ;D  I had my wedding electric frying pan for 35 years or so. Yes, on the flour sifter too! Sweet mama otter.

Phyl, I had a viewmaster and my mom had those glasses.

Phyl, Thanks for updates on Anthony and GSB kids.What a success it is to see all 4 doing well!! Congrats dad Newman!  :-* It's sweet to see the two siblings remain close.... This is what I read last night "OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush is married to Wendy Rush, the great-great-granddaughter of Isidore and Ida Straus, who choose to remain onboard the sinking Titanic together so that others could escape to safety in their place."  https://www.npr.org/2023/06/22/1183704775/oceangate-stockton-rush-wife-titanic-movie-couple.  I remember this couple was written in the Titanic movies.  :'(

LISA  I'd love to be there as well   ;) ;)   Maybe you can keep rack of who gets adopted. Not likely to tell you who adopted but which ones go quickly.  Free adoptions this weekend.  they must be making way for more "incomings"  - WOW  What is their usual charge?

KAREN  I've always wondered if Iris's age gives off adverse signals?  She is one old osprey.  Mom Decorah pretty much up there as well.  No eggs this year.  My PT first appt is Tues 27th at 6:30 PM !

kb - Thank you  :)

Lani - Thanks for keeping up with Peeps puffins!  I have already cried every time I have looked in on the kitties today.

Try not to let your sadness show---as you know kitties will sense and could get apprehensive. The $100 is a fair fee. And smart, could deter the less desirable applicants.
I'm feeling sad and blue today  too ---will miss the photos and reading about those furry darlings. I pray goodness and love surrounds them  all the days of their lives in a forever home, always.  :-*

Old timers day in Duluth- the Phillip R Clarke and  John G Munson built in 1952 and property of the Great Lakes Fleet arrive together this afternoon.

this was yesterday.
Duluth MN is the biggest and busiest shipping port of the Great Lakes.

They used to carry iron ore....I assume they still do but not absolutely sure.

Very cool big ships.

Hmm....fees here from rescue groups for dogs, different from shelters like Animal shelters?...not sure...run from 450-550 ..neutered, chipped and first round of vaccines.

Seems here now the Animal shelters run by the County are working often with the rescue groups.

My sister who used to work with these groups said that fee only covers the cost of the vet care for each animal...

I paid 450 for Ollie from a rescue group then foster in 2015.....

Is it that much cheaper for cats?...or cause it's the County shelter?

Hi Beakers

LisaG - You & Jeff were/are the best fostering parents for Misty's kittens and gave so much (immeasurable), that It would be completely understandable if you decide not to do it again.  Speaking for myself, I had no clue as to how much love, devotion, expense, patience goes into fostering a Mama & her kittens. :-*
Lisa, my heart goes out to you in that I can only imagine how hard it will be on you to turn the kittens over to the AC.

Oldguy -  I concur with others here, that it's too bad someone can't work in your place so that you can go to the ATF.

Lani - I sure wish the best for Aly in that she gets the place next to the children's park that the two brothers own.   Like the Puffins!

Phyl - Beautiful pic out at Great Spirit Bluff  :)  Like the Viewmaster! :)  I had one  :)

Clynn - Love the fun pics of the Munchkins yesterday! ;D

Karen - Bummer about not liking your haircut. :(

Lori - Love your post tonight!  :)

{{{LisaG & Jeff}}}

Beakers have a good night.

BL -

In 2005 Scott was crushed and burned by 2,500 pounds on his chest...work injury.

In the ICU burn ward of HCMC I played his favorite song "Into the Mystic" often....He was on a ventilator in induced coma but the nurses said to talk with him and hold his hand and I did while playing this song.

This song creates strong memories for me and brought tears to my eyes. Thanks. :D

Phyl, what a cute camp site! My sister and I had a View Master, I remember thinking how wonderful it was looking at the pictures! Great pic of three of the GSB kids! Anthony will soon be out of sight... it's sad but also wonderful... That was a stiff drink you made last night! What's been going on? Thanks for Amy's Blog, very interesting about the Golden Eagles RRP is tracking!
 
BL, stellar music picks! 

Lani, I agree about Iris! And maybe she is enjoying being the single woman she is! She can out fish any male osprey! Has Aly heard anything yet? Cool good night picture!

Adoption fees at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (where we got Honey and Harley):  https://www.arl-iowa.org/adopt/adoption-process/

Lisa, you and Jeff should be very proud of how you have fostered the kittens! You have cuddled, loved and played with them, just what they needed to be able to go to homes to grow up and be loved by children and others who need to share their love... and who doesn't love a kitten? So don't be too sad for too long, you have taught them what they need and now they are graduating!

kb, I remember watching the big ships when we lived in Duluth. Back then you could ride on the Aerial Lift Bridge as it lifted and then from the top watch the ship pass through. Lots of iron ore and grain ships.  Isn't it something, how a song can take you to a time and place...  Love the giraffes!

tsk, Ed's brother Mike was going through everything in their Mom's house after she passed away in 2011 and found many things tucked away here and there. She was kind of a hoarder, (that is where Ed gets the trait!) He found a brand new, in the box Sunbeam Electric Skillet in Harvest Gold. He asked me if I wanted it and I now have it!

Lori, lots of fun summer pictures!

tsk, ice cream! It's ICE CREAM weather! Our high for today: 91 I have 5 containers of Tillamook ice cream in the freezer!

Thank you for all the {{{ }}} and the ((( ))).  The kittens were brought to AC at 8am, and I was a blubbering fool, and have been since I left.  AC told me they would keep me informed, and I could also follow up to see if any get adopted.  Misty has been walking the house looking for them, so I hope as the day and night goes on, she will realize they are no longer here.  She isn't whining or meowing, just looking. So, I guess that is a good thing. 

tsk - I think the prices for adoptions at the different County Animal Shelters vary from county to county.  I wonder since we are a smaller county is the reason ours are kinda cheaper. Mmm, that banana split look good!

kb - I looked up the price of dogs for adoptions at AC, and its $140.  I am guessing the rescue places charge more for animals cause maybe they don't get funding from the county like at AC does? 

Phyl - Hope you have a better day today. Thanks for the prayers for the kitties!  Love the GSB pic. 

E4E - Thanks for the kind PM.   :-*

Lani - Love your good night pic. 

BL - Good tunes!

Lori - Morning  :)

clynn - Thanks for the kind words.  I see your adoption fees are similar to ours. Aww, look at karen's finch nest.  I think I see a couple heads in there.

Hmm...Lisa that sounds about right...

I'll have to find out how much cats go for 'round here...it also could just be Minnesota charges more across the board?

When I read the charge for cats in your areas I thought to myself...how come we charge so much?

Clynn - oh my...don't think I'd want to ride that lift bridge to the up position.......

I missed my opportunity to walk Ollie...I even woke up early at 5:30 for it, but by the time I was done drinking coffee etc., it was already 75 before 7am....sorry Ollie...

I will surely need to mow after this weekend's predicted rain. Will be 14 days since last mow on Sunday.

I held off to give the grass some "breathing room" with all this heat.

Big however, not much later than Sunday as it's now impossible to find the poo left in the grass when I mow:I will need to wear old tennis shoes, LOL, and secondly, Ollie is finding it harder to lift his leg to pee in the tall grass.....he's low to the ground..

Clynn - I used to love cooking on an electric skillet although it was a newer model than your picture - it finally just gave out sometime in the late 80's!

Phyl - Well said to LisaG yesterday - very nice. :)    Love the camping scene - I want to be there! Lol  8)   Beautiful cam pics.   Thank you for Amy's blog. :)

Tig - All of those are still essential kitchen equipment! ;D

Kb - Awesome pic of the fleet in Duluth MN!  Precious giraffe pic!   I remember you mentioning the crushing injury that happened to Scott, so sorry he had to endure such a catastrophy. :( :o

Tsk - Was the fee you paid for Lulu inclusive of spaying & all shots?

Clynn - Like your morning gifs!  Yum - lots of good ice cream at your house! ;D

Karen & Clynn - Thank you for posting Karen's finch nest!

LisaG - You are not a blubbering fool - you couldn't help but get attached and love those sweet kittens {{Lisa}}  I'm sure the AC will screen the applications carefully and choose the best forever homes for each kitten.   Good that the AC will keep in touch.

Beakers have a nice day.

I visited the Y this a.m. for a "jaunt" on the recumbent bike. (I had to do a quick step to get to the garage while avoiding the garden sprinkling). I found a bunch of older folks/friends in the pool! This is remarkable since the heater has been broken for weeks. BRR. Last I heard the water is only 78 degrees. Now that my arm has healed I guess I better join them next week.
KB - Clynn - yes, I rode the bridge several times when I was a kid.
Ollie - tickle, tickle. LOL. I plan to mow on Monday.

LISA  Awww.  Maybe get busy and shop or something to get your mind off of them for a bit?

KB  I got out early - about 7:30 to weed  -Was nice and cool with a breeze.  :)

EAGLES  Yes - Only $100 and Tim and I couldn't believe it.  We actually got her for a month trial before we paid any fee - Never heard of that before.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: clynndunn on June 23, 2023, 12:19:30 PM

tsk, scoop that ice cream out into another container and label it something Tim doesn't like, then scoot it to the back of the freezer and put stuff in front of it. Where there's a will, there's a way!  ;D ;D ;D

tig, I read that there was some kind of accident in the early 80's and a woman died, and that's when they closed the lift to passengers. But I couldn't find anything about what happened.

Lisa, you need to go shopping for things for that baby that is coming! Shopping!

E4E, my Mom uses her electric skillet all the time, mostly instead of cooking on the grill. She doesn't cook on the grill at all, and Dad didn't much. We wear our grills out cooking on them, although these last few years Ed can't handle it if it's too hot out. So I got one of those smokeless indoor grills, but of course, I haven't tried it yet.  ::)

EagleCAM - June 20 Great news - we welcomed  SE32 at 17:48 (as near as we could see). Lady was sitting on the first egg, she shuffled and huffed a little and we noticed  the first sign of lay beginning at 17:44. Quick work with the egg first observed around 17:48.  There was 75h17m between the 2 eggs. The eagles again used a strategy of delaying incubation, leaving the first egg uncovered for a considerable time initially, then increasing incubation as the second egg approached.

tig - 78°, I bet that water feels great.  I noticed the other day, that our Y looks like it may be finished sometime before next summer - hoping the winter, tho. How cool that your Bro & SIL were on TV.  Cut and style looks great!

tsk - Mmmm, DQ or Culver's, now you have me hankering on a Blizzard! We have been busy cleaning up the room where the kitties were, washing sheets and blankets that we used for them.

clynn - Awww, the suitcase of kitties and Mama.   I do need to get baby some more things.   ;D

Clynn, the kids were so cute in their pics this week!  :-*


Good article, dated Feb. 4, 2023, with several old pictures, about the Duluth Ship Canal's Lift Bridge, with fun remembrances, dates of related lift bridge events, and accidents. Tip: You can read it for free if you don't try to open it in a "private" browser page, like I first did.  ;) Love the old pictures and stories in it!!

((Lisa)) ((Jeff)), y'all did great! So did Misty and Bandit.  :) :-* :-* :-* Those kittens are all healthy, well-socialized to people and multiple adult cats, and have had a great start on readiness for transitioning to their forever homes, thanks to all you and Jeff did for them. Hugs all around.  :-*

Karen, good pic of your finch nest with babies. I had thought you said it was on your roof. Glad to see it's in the corner/alcove under your roof... lots of cover from storms.  Are there any potted plants near the nest, or shrubs close by, for the babies to fledge to and have cover after they first leave the nest?

Lani, fingers crossed for Aly and Dewey to get the house near the playground. I hope they don't end up in the smelly house... sometimes smelly homes have smells that you can't get rid of - mold, animal pee forever in the wood or walls, etc. Ick. LOL.

Tsk, glad your PT is not too far off now... hate it's so late in the day though.

Phyl, LOL, hope a few sips helped. I make my vodka and cranberry in the opposite proportions to yours!  ;)

OG, it's always fun after a bunch of rounds of bad cards to get that giant killer-good round! Hate it won't work for you to go to ATF this year.

E4E, how's the shed project coming along?

Lori, fun summertime cats and dogs!  :D  I always love that one of the dog chasing the cat to the edge of the pool, and then the cat jumps onto the surf board and rides it to the other side of the pool and hops off, as the dog sits and just watches.   ;D

Waving to Tig, Puff, KB, BL, and All the Beakers!  :D

Oops... I forgot to mention I got my 2nd Shingrix vaccine Wednesday - only had a little soreness at the injection site, and no other symptoms. Yay! I got the 1st Shingrix vaccine 2 months ago, and didn't have any other symptoms with it either. So that is all done now. Yay. And yay! I also got most, but not all, of my lab reports back from seeing my doctor this past Monday, for trying to find out if I had a uti. The quick dipstick test they did while I was there was all normal. So they sent some out for a culture, and I'm still waiting for a call-back on those results. They prescribed 7 days of Keflex (cephalexin). And they did CBC and CMP blood panels. I got a call-back on those results a couple days ago, and they were all normal. When they called to give me those blood test results, they said, "You're very healthy!"  :D :D :D  So funny... Anyway, so that was good. Meanwhile, my uti symptoms are gone, Yay! And, Woot! eee-vennn. So now I'm just finishing my 7 days of antibiotic, and curious and waiting to find out what the results of the culture were.

TIG   Looks cute.  I've seen a lot of purple highlighting done of late.

LISA  How did you put the right name to each cat for them - A tag on their collar?

BAZI   First visit late in day - Others are morning for the most part.   YAY on the blood work - Bet the culture will be fine as well.  :-*

Tsk - I had collars on one of the tabby’s and one of the black ones, cause we had a hard time telling them apart.  The rest look different, so I knew who was who.  When I took the kitties for the 2nd round of shots, I gave AC their names, and they took their pics and microchipped them that day.

Baz - Thanks for the kind words.  I am glad to hear you are feeling better from your UTI.  I had a sore arm too from that 2nd Shingles shot.

Tig - Thanks 😊

Have a good night, everyone!

Folks just did my own mani and paint job---it's picture perfect!!  OPIs 'Grandma Kissed a Gaucho".
Being careful right now.
When dry gonna make two pizzas---pepperoni, mushrooms over mozzerella on regular crust. Then an olive with stuffed green and blak Kalamatra olives loads of feta and olive oil on a buttered crust.  Green salad and vino or brew.

Prayers  for Misty's kittens,  goodness and love surrounds them  all the days of their lives in a forever home.

{{{Kb}}} sweet giraffe and 'baby'; Jim'a gonna mow Tues. pm

Tsk  those ice cream sundaes and Banana Split look  so 'sinful'.
Easy to agree w/ you on Lisa needing to shop for the Grand baby to easy her sadness

Hi Lori looking forward to your posts about theGSB eyaeses

CLynn  Jim is exasperating ! And I always wondered how Faye put up with  him as a little boy---
Luv your greetindfs today.  Don't you still have Harley with you?   Sinful ice cream treets  :o
Tks for posting Karens' finches.  :-*

{{{Lisa}}}  you're no 'fool'---no one here is that'  ;) :-*  But I understand what you mean.
Maybe you should cuddle Misty and talk to her about the kittens and why they're gone, give her a lil hug and kiss on the forehead. Cats are suprizing

E4E yes. i'd luv to be in that camping scene; nice litle dragon fly; When we got Mike from Nashville Humane Society we paid just $60 for his neutering and shots---30 yrs ago

Tig   very nice cut. Can hardly see the 'hi-lights'  which is nice to have a 'hint' of color.    How  8) was that for your Bro/SIl

CLynn
tks for the Eagle Cam photo/updatre   Suitcase on tracks OMG ! so relieved all will be alright.

Lisa Many thanks for update on kittens.  ;)  So glad the news made you feel a bit happier

bazi Good luck with the Shingrix vax---walk in the park for us as was CoVid.  Yikes a UTI---glad you're recovered.  I've never had one---how do people get those?

Hi Lisa!  It must be very difficult to let them go sweetie! ((hugs)) and I know how much you love each & every one of them.   Misty is so lucky she found you & Jeff to help her through her pregnancy & taking such good care of her & her babies. They will always remember & cherish you & Jeff for helping them. They will grow into amazing cats at their new homes surrounded by love, playing with their new toys & making new memories. I am proud of you for stepping up and fostering, there are so many of them that depend on Foster parents like you for a second chance!  Love ya sweet girl, Lori

Kb - 75 deg before 7 a.m. - wow!!

Tig - Yikes - I wouldn't get in the pool either with the heater not working for 2 wks!   Wow! Bro & SIL on the local news!!   If we lived in the area, we would be at the car show!

Tsk - That is such a great deal in how you adopted Lulu!  ;D   So happy it all worked out!!

Clynn - When you guys use the indoor grill, let me know how it worked out for you!   Wow, clicked on your link to the story of the suitcase on the tracks - can't believe that someone would do that.  So happy that someone came along just in time to save them!

Tig - Your post is so funny!  Your hair looks very pretty!!  Hope you get some more rain!

LisaG - That is good of the AC to have gotten in touch with you to give you the status of the kittens.  I know this evening is rough on you. {{Lisa}}

Baz - Shed project is coming along nicely; floor and frame is up; next going to do the roof framing.

Phyl - Bet your mani looks very nice!  Yummy pizzas tonight at your house! ;D

Lori - I love the post for LisaG - you said all the right things.  You are so kind & sweet.

Lani - You & Mike have a nice weekend. :)

All have a good night.

Clynn, thanks for posting the finch house. There are 3 babies in there.  One is small and stays in the back right corner! They are quite close to a magnolia tree, a variety of bushes, 2 geranium potted plants, etc!  Their home has it all for them, as they say, location, location, location!

Clynn, Iris had a difficult day today. An intruder possibly female has been trying to take over the nest and stole Iris's fish as she was defending her nest.... My Sunbeam had a gold cover too... we're coming to your home for ice cream!  ;D ... awww karen's finch family. Thanks for Sea Eagle update and pic.... terrible story about mama cat/kittens in suitcase. Some people are horrendous!  :'(  Very happy for a good ending here.

Tig, that was cool about your Bro/SIL's band!... like your hairstyle  ;D

Lisa, thankful kittens had a good recovery from their surgery and doing well. You and Jeff did a great and loving job! ... prayers for Misty, you, Jeff and Bandit. Misty's first night without kittens may be hard bless you all.

Baz, Aly had a new home! She got the 2 bedroom townhouse next to the children's park. She will move in tomorrow.  ;D ... YAY on your bloodwork, hoping for good news on culture too.

Eagles, glad shed built is going well. I had a busy day, landscape water lines needed repair, and hand watered our tall dry looking junipers that needed water. We need rain, I'm going to have to do a rain dance soon! I'm working outside this weekend. You and Kris have a lovely weekend.

Good night!

Lani, YIPPEE, Aly got the house I was crossing my fingers for! I bet that is a big load off of her shoulders!  Oh no, Iris has to defend her nest again...I wish that last male would come back!  You and Mike are welcome to come here for ice cream any time. I was in the grocery store yesterday and saw that the Tillamook is on sale again...but I resisted. I have 5 containers in the garage freezer and 3 in the fridge freezer... But there was a flavor we haven't tried yet... Mudslide.  Maybe next time. I found a youtube with 2 guys tasting and rating all the Tillamook ice cream flavors, for your enjoyment if you like!  https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=tillamook+ice+cream+flavors&docid=603492868474683020&mid=70282F8CB53D72632B9370282F8CB53D72632B93&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

Lani, the Rain Dance video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBzeFzyJ9mY

Phyl, gorgeous sunrise on the Flyway... Glad to hear that the last kid at GSB has fledged, I hope they all stay safe and close by for a while!  Honey is the one with the cancer, she is doing well for now. Eating, sleeping, enjoying the deck...just not playing like she used to. Still getting me up at 5:00! Harley is Harley, still getting into trouble whenever he can! Empty nestbox at GSB, hopefully they will be back for food drops! Anthony in the air and all tucked in!

E4E, I am going to try to test the indoor grill this week, I will surely let you know how it goes!

oldguy, I will be checking out the videos this afternoon, when it's too hot to go out! No cards tonight?

kb, what a sweet video! That polar bear cub is so cute!

Pretty soon I'm heading outside to scream for thunder, LOL...

A lady last night off her rocker walked down the street yelling into her phone about wanting her keys...for over 9 minutes culminating in her breaking the glass of one of the apartments across the street.
9 cops cruised by over and over for an hour....she got away....but, apparently used to be a tenant or still is?

if it doesn't rain I'm considering a similar breakdown ;) ;)

LANI  Cute AM pic  ;D  Oh I was going to say too bad the movers delivered on Thurs.  they were just a day off...BUT now I see - now word from the movers.  This is ominous considering the rough stat to the whole project!!  Funny cartoon  ;D

LISA  Yes.  Before the whole sciatica/surgery thing I used to walk a mile in 19 minutes.  Now it takes me 24 minites  ???  Can't walk fast cuz of the residual left leg minor weakness I think and it brings on back pain (which goes away with rest).  Important thing I think the PT will say on Tues, is that I just walk!  LOLOL  I ordered the cat brush but I think it is really made for long hair cats.  Lulu's not as big of a lover of being brushed as Lucy was.  ALSO  I found out today she does not like Costco chicken  LOLOL  Lucy could smell it when I walked in the door and she would sit on the island and wait for me to put some on the island for her.  Shortly thereafter she would go into a chicken coma  LOLOL  This one sniffs it and walks away - The Nerve!!

PHYL  Good news about DH2 today.  The view is getting better and more enticing  ;) ;)  Funny cartoon

Forgot to mention this AM  I released the first 2 monarchs - both male - dang!  I need some eggs or will be way behind last year.

It's 'Caturday' - hope everyone is having a nice day whatever you might be doing  :)

High of 70 today.

Clynn - Just like Karen, we are out of ice cream!   Tomorrow, I plan to pick some up at the grocery store  ;D

Karen - Sounds like your finches are in an ideal location! ;D

OG - Hope you get that rain you are hoping for!  Love Quarantine kids as always!  If tonight is 'card night' hope you win and have lots of fun!

Lani - That is such great news that Aly has a place now!!  I'm so happy for all of you!!   Yes, hubby's new shed project is coming along nicely - thanks for mentioning. :)    Try not to overdo yourself out in the yard - especially if it is a very warm day!  Watering always takes a while - it does for me too.   Sad that those Movers aren't better at communicating.  Hope Aly hears from them and receives her things.

Phyl - Such a beautiful sunrise at the Flyaway.  Thank you for Amy's blog.   Cute comic this morning!

Kb - Thank you for Polar bear mom & cub - so precious - very sweet.   Wow, very warm temps in your area. 

Clynn - Hope you get a chance to use that grill and do let us know how it works out for you!

Tsk - Sure hope your area gets some much needed rain for that drought.  There were times over the years when CA was in a severe drought - and it is terrible when that happens.  Prayers for your area.

Tig - That is good 'Teamwork' when you do the picking up/shopping and come home and Camper meets you to carry it into house! ;D   Hope you got some rest for your knee and are enjoying the afternoon. :)

LisaG -  Still sending comforting thoughts your way (last night couldn't have been very easy).  Nice that Misty is getting lots of love & attention (as always)!   
Hope you & Jeff are having as nice of a weekend as is possible. 

Lori - Thank you for nest cams! ;D

Tsk - Lulu probably doesn't like the smell of the spices they use.  I used to give my Star bites of just the chicken meat (not the skin/spiced parts).   But of course, not every pet is going to like it. ;)   Hope you enjoyed your walk this morning. :)  How exciting for your 2 Monarchs - that is so nice of you to do all you do for the Monarchs.

Beakers have a nice evening.  It is only 4:35 over here, so going out to check on hubby and do a little watering.  Then soon, I need to start making dinner.

Tsk - Since she was still nursing on and off, up until the day they left, AC said Misty will need her milk dried up before she is spayed.  I asked how long is that, and they said maybe about 2 weeks.  At the moment, she is filled back up with milk.  Poor girl…I hope it goes down soon!

Baz, great card for Aly! 

Lori, wonderful pics of the action on the Y!  So great to see it!   Thanks!

Lisa, if Misty is too uncomfortable, buy a cabbage and refrigerate.  When cold take an outer leaf or two off and wrap her tummy!  Advice from a vet!  Lolol, true!

Tsk, easy on your walks!   Hate drought for farmers!  Bad for us, bad for them!   Had rotisserie chicken for dinner myself tonight. Had steamed cauliflower and salad with it.  Grapes for desert, alas, no ice cream!

Warm today but ate lunch on the porch while watching the hummers!
Think the rain maybe moving out of here for a while!  Good news about Brett and
 Cindy!  Wind shear can be a good thing!

Glad Honey is doing well.

Good caturday evening amd seds

Chris and i just finished watching 4 episodes.
Love the show....of course lots of Chicago shots as it's filmed there.
It's so well done, the music is great, the visuals, and I'm surprised I'd love watching people cook and bake!
Course the characters and relationships too
Did you catch the first season or not?...I can't remember. You were going to or did.

kb it is known as the Urban heat island affect or UHI.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_heat_island#Impacts

Quote

"Rainfall rates downwind of cities are increased between 48% and 116%. Partly as a result of this warming, monthly rainfall is about 28% greater between 20 miles to 40 miles downwind of cities, compared with upwind".

Climate change is not a cause but an amplifier of the urban heat island effect.

There are 4 parts to this article: And it might be way more info than you want to know.  ;)   :-*
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/UrbanRain/urbanrain.php

What you have been experiencing at your home may not be what Tig experiences at her home about 12 mi to the NE.
ssrl to your NW similarly experiences totally different weather I suspect also.  ??   

With your lack of rain I believe it's about your exact location.
The rain has been bifurcating around you, no shit Sherlock now tell me something I don't already know?   LOL   ;D

Even though your abode is in a more "green/suburban-ish" area there is a big 'heat factory' about 4 miles due east of you namely MSP.
Large International airports are known to make there own "mini heat domes" due to all sorts of nasty stuff.   

I watched this afternoons radar loop of your area with all the rain bifurcating around you.   :( :( :(

Now, what can I do about it to make it stop?....LOL

It's happened since May 1.....and it's been above average temps since May 1 as well...
Yes, ssrl can get more rain than I....and then I can get more snow than her, but not by much.

Any chance this pattern will change in the near future?....jet stream?...more cold fronts....

I need a mountain nearby as well, teehee...Make one for me please ;) ;)

70 heading to 86 by 11 AM - mostly sunny  We did get a thunderstorm last night.   Checked with Barb and she had 1" in her gauge  Yahoo!

LISA   Hope Misty dries up soon.   Poor thing.

KB  Did not follow the Bear.   Only streaming I do is on Prime if any.

LANI  the calf and hedgehog look like they share a sofa?  LOL

PHYL   Are falcons the birds that catch their food on the fly?  I suspect bird parts?  Empty nest - looks lonesome.

CLYNN  Ice cream flavors favorites are really particular to each person.  But I suspect those influencers have boosted some flavor sales LOL

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY LILBRO AND JANI

tsk - I hope so too, she looks bigger this morning.  I did sent AC a message, and they told me to do the warm compresses.

clynn - Great pics of DH2.  They sure are enjoying the Y this morning.   Wow, you have your very own ice cream shop in your freezer.  ;D  I have tried a few of some of the flavors you have.  Pretty pic of the Des Moines River.

Phyl - Thanks for the link about warm compresses and food intake.  AC did recommend warm compresses, but will message again about the food intake.  Thanks for cam pics.

Lani - I missed your post about the movers not getting there yet with Aly's furniture.  UGH!!!!
Thank you for thinking of Misty & kitties.  :)

The rat is already dead I assume.

Hallelujah!....it rained a bit here last night after dark...two lines came in, one 30 minutes long and later about an hour of rain...must have cooled down enough to penetrate our "dome"!...

Lani - oh I sure do hope you find out sooner rather than later where Aly's things are..

Lisa - Could not be a better outcome...so happy for all of them.

Lisa, I bet jaspurr has been following the kittens and has been waiting for the signal! Good to know those two cuties have a good home! Hopefully she will keep you updated!

Keep hoping to catch the fledge, very windy in Decorah! Dh2 keeps hearing another eagle somewhere and looks around...it won't be long.  Oh that squee, brings back lots of memories...

Clynn, great pictures this am but I wish these bossy women would leave Iris alone!   I wonder why she has so much trouble!  I do not see a for sale sign anywhere!  Louis hasnt been around much either.  Strange aura!

Tsk, saw that you had thunder storms!  Good news

Lani, I supposed Aly has called the moving company headquarters re her belongings!  I hope this wasn’t one of the najor, big moving companies!   Keep us informed!

TSK, your new landscaping is beautiful!!  I love it!! Yay for the 2 Monarch releases - hope you get some more eggs and female Monarchs to follow.  :) :-*

Clynn, I LOVE seeing DH2 having fun in the sun and squeeing on The Y!!!  :-* :-* :-*  Oh, I see you posted while I was composing this - your new landscaping is wonderful! I LOVE it!!

Phyl, thanks for the cam shots!  :)

Tig, your new "Do" looks great! :)

Lani, hope your area gets some rain soon, too.

KB and BL, my area experiences that same urban heat dome effect that you mentioned, and we get that same "split" or "go-around" of the lines of rain - same as KB has been experiencing. It isn't anything new here either. Some of the long-time locals refer to that effect here as, "The Cape Fear Split." Very often, I might even say, usually, I will stay dry while the areas west and east, and especially north of me, get a very good dousing. It's such a regular phenomenon here that we rarely even comment on it. It's just the way it is.

E4E, the shed projeect at your place is moving along quickly! Did you get a tool apron yet?  ;) :D

OG, I hope your Saturday gathering and cards was a good time for all.  :)

Karen, 3 little Finchies! Fun!! So nice to be able to watch your Hummingbirds during dinner on the porch!  :D



IRIS STRONG!!!  :-* :-* :-*


My LilSis went with her son and his kids - the 2 sets of twins - to take the older twin boy to camp in the NC mountains last weekend. It was his first overnight camp experience. After they dropped him off at camp, they visited a nice waterfall nearby - Looking Glass Falls - in the Pisgah National Forest, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. They walked to a nice overlook at Looking Glass Falls... then went down to get closer... and then walked closer - and got an all-over misting.   ;) :D   A good time was had by all.  :) :-*

They also browsed the little nearby downtown mountain town of Hendersonville, NC - where there is a different and fun Black Bear statue at each intersection.  There's lots of fun stuff to discover, and nice, cool places to take a break.  ;) :D

Sorry tsk...while I volunteered at the Raptor Center I cut up rats and baby chicks..after de-furring and de-feathering....I must be de-sensitized!...the rat did not look like what we did (whole) but maybe that's how they do it there with such a huge eagle?

Baz - yes they split here and for years as well....but, we are still in a 3 year drought....so it may not show that in the whole state it remains the case here in the Twin Cities. so, this phenomenon just hurts us all the more.

Frankly, in all my years here I've never seen it this brown and ugly....I worry for the trees as well.
Before I moved back home there was a drought here where many of the trees died. (1988) ? or so..

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

I saw Swampy this morning while he was swimming from one side of the pond to another.   :D  I haven't seen "Swampy Junior" again. But I did see the end of a big splash on the side of the pond the other day. Big splash!  ???   Late afternoon - and I waited to see what happened next, since I missed what was before the splash, and had no idea what made the big splash, or why. Whatever it was all about, remained below the surface, and a mystery. Was Swampy chomping on a pre-dusk snack? Did Swampy eliminate Junior? The Pond Knows... It Came From The Deep.  ;D 8)

I'm heading to the kitchen to fix a late lunch of shrimp salad sammiches.  ;D  Mmmm! Loves me some shrimp salad!  ;D  And I just looked out the window, and see the bright blue sky has turned summertime afternoon showers grey-brown cloudy... Will they, or won't they?  I mean, drop their raindrops on my head, or someone else's? We shall see...  :D

CLYNN  No just the front yard was done.  Love your hosta bed.  What is the one in the front row that is yellow with the thin leaves?  Not familiar with that one.  Is the bed along the walkway all annuals or do I see a couple perennials in there?   Aww  sweet little boy and kitty  :)

BAZI  I should have taken the garden pic in the sun - we had little of it today.  Cute pictures even with the addition of the "hoods up" on the last one  LOL  My travelling friend and I were in Hendersonville back in the late 70's I think. So many great hikes and waterfalls around there.  Looks like a fun day.  Hope camp goes well for sis's grandson  :-\   Swampy, the creature from the black lagoon - Only he knows for sure..... 8)  Love the Churchill quote.  Will put that on my mirror this week.

KAREN  Pink Cotton Candy Betony,  Rozanne geranium, All Gold Japanese Forest grass, Autumn Moor grass, Hetz midget arborvitae , the 3 hydrangea at the far right and on the other side of the sidewalk behind the azalea ( not blooming now) is a Gold Mops false cypress that will get a bit taller.

CLynn enjoyed the clothespin affirmations; this is marvelous news Feeding Fish Instead of Strangling Them: Corona Adopts Edible 6-Pack Rings. I make Jim cut these up before tossing in trash. I tell him 'Think of Maggie if she's ever  out there..." And fun on the DesMoines River. Cool photo. Tks for DH2 update---I peeked in on him this AM and was tempted to take a snap.

Tsk  went out about 11am-ish the air was so warm ---I loved it.  Barb at 1" rain on gauge  ;)  Yes Peregrine falcons  catch prey in flight

Lisa  I'm so glad that Jaspurr adopted Piper and Daisy although these little gals are a contridiction.  I know she was so heartbroken when she lost her Jaspurr during the CoVid  disaster by the way vet took 'care of' her kitty.  I hope  pictures  are posted on the by and by.
Poor Misty  :-* :-* :-*

KB    So glad you got some rainfall. Keep it up---   Think 'Rain' !   ;)

CLynn enjoyed Dana Schroeder - Osprey family and squad of American White Pelicans. 
Iris  stand your  ground!  New plants look very nice.

Tig  glad you're resting that knee

Tsk Looks very nice.    Where's Old Glory in the after photos?   And, special congrats on the Monarch releases


Bazi nice family photos and all; tks for sharing. Enjoyed the old movie poster for 'Creature From  The Black Lagoon'  I do recall I've seen that

Phyl, ticks, ewww! Good to know information. Cute as a button bunnies! I wonder if DH2 spent the night on the Y? I was almost sure he would take off yesterday with that wind! It was a beautiful day here, the wind kept it cool and it was still sunny. Looks like another nice day today, high 81 with medium wind (17 MPH). Hope to get all my outside chores done today!

Lani, hopefully Aly will get her furniture delivered today! Fingers crossed again! Love your sweet good night pic... Play that rain dance video every day!!  ;D ;D

tig, oh, I see now, everyone was watching the horror movie! Hopefully a lot of screams!

Lisa, it will be wonderful to get updates on jaspurr's kitties and I am glad the AC is keeping you updated, they know how much you care about them... Misty will be back to normal soon!

tsk, there is another slender-leafed hosta in the front row of my picture, it is a lighter green, a Curly Fries Hosta. I moved it from the side of the house (it wasn't growing much there and the rabbits chewed it down a few times). Here is what I hope it looks like next year!

Hi Everyone

67 heading to 74  - muggy/humid and mostly cloudy  Chance of rain later today

TIG   Pool should help that knee today.  Hope it is warm enough. :-\

PHYL   Cute AM bunnies  :)  I hate ticks  :P

CLYNN   It was hard to tell about the hosta - It was the one in the front row almost center and to the left of the kitty.  It looked yellow - maybe the sunlight?  The curly might be it.   Enjoyed the "perspective piece"  so true.

We had early morning drizzle - later 64 deg.

Clynn - Love your pretty plants & beautiful yard!

Baz - No tool belt for me yet Lol!! But I did lend a hand to hubby yesterday when he needed it!  Love the pics of your sis' family at the water falls! 8) Great pic of your LilSis with the twins having yogurt Yumm!  Looks like a lot of fun was had by all! ;D

Kb - Have a nice morning walk if you & Ollie head out  :)

Karen - How are the little finches doing? :)

Lori - Nice anniversary post for Lilbro & Jani!

Tig - Hope your knee is a lil better.

LisaG - That is wonderful that Brutus got adopted by a really nice family. :)  This is the perfect time for families to adopt, as folks are on summer breaks / vacations and have more time to spend with the kitten! ;D ;D   Wow, only 4 are left!

Phyl - Love seeing DH2 on the infamous 'Y' branch! :-*

Lani - Have a nice week - I think you are still working on things out in the yard.  Hope the family are all doing well. :)

Tsk - Hope more rain comes your way!

Puff - Hope you had a good weekend. I know preparing for the ATF is keeping you busy  ;D

Beakers have a nice day

I have a check up with my skin doctor this morning, then off to the grocery store and one of things on the list is ice cream! Lol :)

some bounce

Clynn... I don't want to harpy eagle on it  :D ... but.. no... Camper and his son watched the movie, I did not.

E4E... good luck at doc. My knee is about the same.

TSK... supposedly they got the part on Friday, but it is not working properly yet. The pool was still 78 degrees. It was not as bad as I feared tho' and the hot tub felt good after, and then my warm shower.

Still misty, cool and cloudy today. Yay!

((tig))

Lani - Fingers crossed that Aly gets her furniture. 

Phyl - Love the morning bunny pic.  Thanks for the prayers for Misty, and the remaining kitties.
Thanks for cam pics, and info on the ticks.

clynn - My updates from jaspurr have been wonderful to hear.  I got one this morning, saying the kitties were up all night, so she needed to see what the tornado damage was that had went thru her house.  ;D

tsk - We have an alert day.  They are saying possibly severe weather this evening. 

E4E - Yep, 4 left and pray they get adopted.  Good luck at skin doc, and enjoy your day.

Ahh, Piper is a night owl and is leading sweet Daisy astray!  Wonder what chaos they caused!
Pt just left!  Now working on balance and he said it is good!  New balance stuff Wednesday!  I still need work on muscle strength!

Do not know about the finch babies!  I have not seen a fledge and do not see any feeding!  There might be one left but in the back and small!  Two of them appeared large and I think they have flown the coop!

Lisa, I hope the remaining Kitties find perfect homes!  Lizzie is such a sweet little thing and needs a special place . I do not know about the personalities of the others!  Prayers for them!

TIG  Nice big dose of heat.  Does it improve your knee for awhile?  I suppose you've done the icing thing but again only temporary improvements if any  :-\

KAREN  Nice to hear the improvements with the balance.  Let me know how you do with the harder ones. Lots of ways to get creative with balance routines so you don't even know you are doing them   :)

Waving to All the Beakers!   :D

Tig, LOL, no horror movie for you last night!  ;)  Happy Belated Birthday to Camper's Son!  Glad you got some pool time in, and a nice soak in the hot tub after. My pond's water temp is 78. Swampy doesn't care.  ;) ;D

TSK, I'm a verbena lover.  It comes in so many pretty colors, too! I no longer plant it - it doesn't like me.  ;) Or was the verbena in Clynn's beds?  I've lost track now, but your pictures and names were great, taken in the sun, or not. Sweet Lulu!! Surveying The Realm and Her Subjects  :-*

Clynn, interesting Curly Fries Hosta, and the Praying Hands Hosta - pretty. All your plants look so nice. I may have mixed up who's garden beds the verbena is in... so pretty.

Phyl, DH2 is looking sooo good and happy and healthy.  :) :-*  Talons crossed for the soon-to-fledge juvie there, and for the coming Eagle College days around the Hatchery, the Y, the stream, the overflow pond, the cliffs, and more!  Stay safe, DH2, fly high, and learn all you can from your parents - the bigger world and greater adventures await your discovery.  :-* :-*

Puff, are you already in Decorah?  Safe travels, and have fun!  :)

Lisa, thanks for the fun updates on the kitties so far.  I hope you are finally getting very good nights of sleep again. I forgot which days you will be "on the road."  Have fun at ATF! Safe travels to you, too!  :)

Lori, I'm still thinking about the luscious poppy seed style cake you posted! Mmmm!

E4E, forget the tool belt. LOL, just pop a "cool one," LOL, sit back nearby, and hand Kris the right screwdriver just when he needs it.  :D I say, just chilling, and hanging out "on site with the crew" is always fun.  ;) ;D

Lani, I hope Mike's back from Gila, and had a good trip. Has your hired helper already done the firewise work at your place?

Oldguy, I hope your weekend had as much relaxing time as work time.  :)

Karen, maybe you will see the little Finch fledglings chasing after "Mom and Dad, mouths open, and chirping up a storm.  ;) :-*  Glad your balance is good and getting better, and hope you can do more strengthening work, too. Good work on the PT!  :)


Stay cool, and have a wonderful afternoon, Beakers!  :)

A cute Marten in Montana!

Eagles4 - tomorrow am is my Ollie walk day..

Whew: I mowed, weed whipped, and blew both the front and the back yards....if you recall it had been 2 weeks since last mow due to the heat and drought....I swear that backyard hill is getting steeper ;) ;)
Hmm, lots of branches to pick up and poo of course...must have been more wind than I thought with our rain.

Even though it was only 73 at the time, my head is sopping wet....I don't get it!....still damp after an hour.
Now close to 80 with another warm up this week..

Have a list for tomorrow outside too...catch up time after no work with the heat.....

Tsk hot/humid weather is gonna be the 'norm' this time of year; hoping your Post OP goes well

KB  You accomplished a lot today.  Very dreary here and occasionally misting.  No sun.

LISA  Just misting in my backyard today.  Got some indoor chores done.  Hey - Good news - 4 down 3 to go  ;D

LANI  Manaaki is beautiful.  24 # is a hefty lift into the basket  LOL   Shouldn't it take movers the same time to reach Oregon as it did Aly ?- and she's been there for a while now.  Something doesn't seem right..  Gosh no crew showed up today to help you.  Bummer.

Lani, it's always worth waiting if it's a good person you are waiting for...  I can't believe Aly still doesn't have her furniture! I hate Summer colds too, they should only be allowed in the winter!!  I hope you feel better soon!  Oh my, that close-up of Manaaki!  She is a BIG girl!

kb, where in the heck was that photographer? :o  That is a good shot of a duck butt! Photoshopped?

E4E, Tillamook ice cream seems to go on sale often, maybe it's because it's new here. They want to get you hooked.  ::)  It's $4.99 right now.

tsk, I think there are some flowers that certain people just can't grow! I don't have any luck with petunias! I am wondering if roses is another one...  ::) ::) My 2 new rose bushes don't look that great. But the hostas all look good!

Lisa, the kittens are going fast! I have always been a believer in having 2 cats, so they can keep each other company, although I think Harley or Honey would prefer to be single cats!

Phyl, very red sunrise on the Flyway!  Young bears patrolling your area, wonder where Mom is? Or have they already separated from Mom maybe? Anthony must be sleeping somewhere out of camera view!

CLynn Anthony's not been in nest  or in view at least, for a few days. Just Choyln and Chase  dropping in  from time to time.Hopefully, he's been haveing
some fun out and about.
Pretty flowered wreaths this AM. Thanks for sharing Naimo's photo.
I think tha's true ---some folks can't grow certain plants. Never had a prob with petunias or daisies, for example. But, roses and bulbs---nope.
Give Honey a kiss for me.
I was out on deck late watering the night before and always get an 'uneasy feeling' of late. Then yesterday when Jim came home he told me about the bears in our
area.   :o


Today is my late father's birthday. Had he lived---age 107 yrs

HI EVERYONE

65 heading to 76  Air quality 149 - hazy and partly sunny today

EAGLES  I'm not even sure our store sells Tillamook but if it does $7,49 is a lot to pay  :o :o   YAY on the skin check  :)

KB   LOL  " emergency landing"

BL  That's some beautiful scenery  :)

LANI   Good that the landscaper came by to reset your date.  Take care.  :-*

PHYL  Stunning sunrise on the flyway this AM  8)   Bears?  Has that occurred before?

CLYNN  Very colorful flower morning  :D  I  thought the same thing about the photographer of the duck landing  LOL

Morning all.

Lani - what are your next steps regarding no arrival of stuff?
Reminds me of my move from California to Minnesota late 1989..
Large major moving company however, took them only 2 weeks in the winter...nada broken....they put them in those pods even back then.
My car was driven by a couple who wanted to travel the two states....Back then a company vetted the people who wanted to get from Point A to Point B and just pay for gas....also just over 2 weeks...no problems with my vehicle. I forget how much I paid for the vehicle travel service?

Clynn - don't know...

82 going to 96!   No rain!  Not needed really,
PHyl, pt has nothing to do with vertigo.  Balance only.    Good anyway.
Do not see any baby finches!  Maybe a head up in the nest but it is hard to see up there!
No bears in the area but there were fox sitings before the trees were cut down in the back.   I saw a small one while walking the dogs one morning.  It stared at us and my usually  alert pups paid it no attention!  Strange encounter.
Clynn, when I had the three dogs, they were not bonded and I think they would have all preferred to be only dogs!    Sassy was her happiest after Putter and Bogey went to the bridge,

We do not have Tillamook
 ice cream here either .Tsk.  Reminds me of Coors beer before distribution out of .denver started!  Always preferred Miller Light!

Enjoyed all the flowers this am and the pictures of the y!

Lani, 😉.   Hope Aly gets her things soon!

Thanks everyone for the kind words on Midnight getting adopted.  I am hoping the rest get adopted this week. 

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update.  Manaaki is beautiful.  What is Aly going to do about the moving company if they don't show up.  I am sure she is upset about her stuff not arriving. I know I would be!  Glad to hear that your helper will be there Thursday to help you.

Phyl - Fuzzy Wuzzy  ;D ;D  Thanks for cam pics!  Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Dad.

tsk - We did not get the severe weather as they said, but I did hear it raining around 2 am.

E4E - Glad to hear your appt with the dermatologist went well.   :D  Just got a nice email from jaspurr this morning, and made me tear up!  I am so glad the kitties went to her, cause I know she will love and care for them just as much as I did.

kb - Emergency landing  ;D ;D

clynn - I always said, that we should have got a 2nd cat when we got Bandit.  He seems to be warming up to Misty now. Is that your pretty yard and flowers in the last pic?

kb - Found it after I made it bigger.  ;)
 
karen - Do you all have BlueBell ice cream there?  That is one of the best.

Ick, that was one of the toughest Ollie man walks other than a real icy/winter one.

The air is so thick with smoke, esp. low to the ground...smells like thick smoke too.
Surprised even though I knew it came in yesterday with haze etc. but this was something.

I may curtail some of my outdoor to do list....unless it gets better of course..

LisaG - Good & happy news about Midnight - hopefully a good/kind/loving forever home.  :-* :-*   How is Misty doing?   I am still so overjoyed that Jaspurr adopted 2 of the kittens, as I knew she would keep in touch with you, and you will always know how they are doing, and of course they will have the best care, love & attention! :-* :-*   

Lani - Glad to know your Landscaper was in touch with you, and will be back over on Thurs.  Sure wish the Movers would bring Aly's stuff to her.   Hope you feel better soon {{Lani}}

Phyl - Nice that Jim will be off early today and hopefully mows  :)   Adolescent bears in your area!  Beautiful pic out at Mississippi River Flyway cam.  All great cam pics!    **Happy Heavenly Birthday for your Dad** {{Phyl}}

Tsk - I see that your pt appt is for today (not yesterday)  :)  Like your morning gif.

Clynn - Is that last picture taken of your yard area?  If so, very pretty!   Thank you for posting Naimo's Decorah pic  :)

Kb - Like your leopard pic.  Good story of how your car was driven to Minnesota  :)   Sure hope that the haze and smoke clears out soon. :o

Karen - I hadn't realized that Sassy was one of three dogs that you had at one time. :)   Were Putter & Bogey small size dogs too?

Beakers have a nice day.

E4e, putter and Bogey were Shih Tzus and Sassy was a mix, 85% shih tzu!  She was the biggest and Putter was the smallest!  Sassy is my avatar.
Lisa, we have BlueBell.  A Texas ice cream.MY CURRENT FAVORITES ARE PUBLIX TRINITY A VERY RICH MIX OF CHOCOLATES AND baskin Robbins , pralines and cream.  I still remember eating ice cream as a kid, from Wisconsin, then known as Americas Dairy State!  Their laws governed all dairy products and msrgarine as outlawed!  Only Butter could be sold.   Tge ice cream was so rich, it was heavenly with a very high fat content!  Salami and cheese were also marvelous.  We had a stop there after leaving my grandmothers that was wonderful.   All makes for a fat kid but my mother s very watchful!
Good news for Midnight!   Poor Lizzie, she needs a special home!  A quiet one!

Well, glad I did inspect my yard....all of my phlox both front and back have something wrong with them.
I have multiples of mounds of them....huge.
So, I did neem oil phlox, roses, and Virginia Creeper.

such an interesting story:
From the Friends of MN Nongame Eagle Cam

Last weekend, our eagle specialist Lori helped a chick from The Raptor Center get adopted by new parents. The chick had been displaced from its nest and she was able to bring it to northern Minnesota for placement it in an existing nest with new parents.
Each year, Lori helps Dr. William Bowerman from the University of Maryland band and study eagle chicks in Voyager’s National Park. Dr. Bowerman is a world-renowned expert on environmental change affecting bald eagle populations. Here are some image highlights. Photos described in captions

Not sure if anyone can view the pics unless you are a fb member of the site?...
Bottom line: they removed an older chick from a Northern MN nest, determined it was a female, and then returned it and the younger chick ( a male) being rehabilitated at the Raptor Center to the nest.

Both look to be doing well...and am pretty sure the parents will take care of both....

Look at the fb site above to see if you can see the pics.

I mowed the longer sections of lawn and picked a couple cups of raspberries. I'm tired of the garlic chive (and it no longer serves its original purpose) so Camper dug it out for me. Me thinks our lilac is a gonner and one other shrub in the garden appears dead. Sigh.

and finally the weight.

Manaaki at 158 days old weighs 12 kg. Don't forget to check the graph. It had to be made bigger!!
https://twitter.com/i/status/1673572137591001088

Here is Dad GLY feeding his son Manaaki.
He arrived with breakfast this morning at 9:58 before weighing time.

Info-byte:
Manaaki is 1kg heavier than the next heaviest chick today and 2kg heavier than Royalcam chick Tūmanako at the same age.

Jim got  our's and Sadia's yard mowed/trimmed. Now for the weeds.

Tsk No this is the first for bears.

Kb stunning Snow Leopard tks; found it! Just below the sheet of snow at the snag's top. Lovely face!  Pretty garden snaps

Lanitks for update on the  Royals--- Dad GLY / son Manaaki.

Good Evening Beakers

We got almost .9 inches of rain since Sat. night - Sun and Mon. the AQI was around 20 - but today has been bad - this afternoon it got up to 237...  An air quality alert is in effect for us until Thu noon.  We got enough rain that the lawn has turned green again, need to mow the weeds (grass has not grown) - it has been almost 3 weeks since last mowing.

I got a new add-on for my phone and laptop - it is a "15.6" Portable Display"   - hooked up to my phone gives me the ability to do internet browsing on the large screen and do apps on the phone at the same time.  With some practice I hope to be able to post here without my computer.

Lisa - got your messages

Karen - I bet all three were wonderful furry family members with you!!  That breed is so cute and the perfect size for indoors!  I'll have to try and see if our stores carry Bluebell ice cream.  Right now, I don't think I have heard of that one.  'America's Dairy State' I bet you had the best!!  What a special memory of stopping off there whenever you had left from visiting at your Grandma's! ;D

Kb - You DO have a lovely Resort!!!  I know you work at keeping your yard looking so lovely - it sure shows!!  Thank you for the beautiful pictures! ;D   Amazing photo of carp surprising the Loons!  Glad you mentioned that all was okay.

Tig - Yumm!!  That restaurant is one that I would love to go to!!  Enjoy your dinner  :)

LisaG - I know it still must be hard on you & Jeff without all the kittens, but keep finding comfort in that you, Jeff, and Misty gave them the very best healthy beginning of their life and now the Love will continue in another home. :-*   Maybe one of these days, you can go visit Jaspurr! ;D

Lani - Love the Albatross vid - so cute!!

Phyl - Wonder if DH2 fledged?!  That is always a mixed feeling. :-*

Oldguy - Please let us know if the Portable Display works for you!  Hope the air quality clears up soon.

Hi Puff, Clynn, Baz, Lori, Tsk  :)

Beakers have a good night / sleep well.

Phyl, thanks for nests updates... watched very fun video of 3 GSB siblings doing flight training. I pray for Alice too ... Happy heavenly birthday for your father.

Clynn, Raudel is a very good, kind and hardworking landscaper and somewhat handyman. He's worth waiting for,  :) ... and anyway, we're in no hurry.... nice pic of DH2 and parent.

Kb, Aly is continuing to call and leave messages for the moving company, no return calls.  :( ... I found the snow leopard after enlarging the pic.... I would curtail outside activity too.... gorgeous plants, it does take a lot of work and neem oil to keep everything healthy.... good news about the eaglet adoptions at MN Nongame....  Take care.

Karen, {{{Sassy}}}... Mike only drinks Miller light.... still no sign of movers.... thanks for sharing your special memories...  take care

Lisa, Aly hasn't decided what to do.  :( .... glad to read Bandit is more accepting of Misty.... prayers for little mama and 3 siblings  :-*

Tsk, I hope your appt went well today.

Tig, delicious menu, I would have a hard time deciding what to get.

Oldguy, good to see you. Enjoyed Maru and the tents and Women of Change.

SED Eagles  ;D

Baz, you got the before and I took the after  ;D

Good night!

Phyl, oh no, I picked the same Wednesday greeting that you did...and I don't have time to go find another! LOLOL! We have good taste...  ;D  Thanks for the article, will read after the Munchkins are gone! So, are they saying Anthony is branching?  Or has he fledged?

Lani, I just can't fathom Aly's feelings right now, don't know what I would do! Of course, the most important thing is her stuff...where the heck is it? Thanks for the reminder of EagleDuck's birthday...  Great nighttime pic of the Y, it really is good to see eagles there again.  I long for little ones at Hellgate... Here is a pic of the Boulder County nest:

That crane save looks like a full size cow. Fantastic save!

CLynn I didn't realize that the article posted. So I posted again.  ::)   
Nah! Don't care that your greeting is same as mine---'Great minds thnik alike'
Anthony has fledged! Guess chatters didn't make a 'to do' over it.   At any rate he's left the 'natal' nest.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

56 heading to 83  Air quality 166 down from 287 yesterday - worst in the world they were reporting.  As others have experienced - you can look right at the sun for all the haze.  Sunny today

TIG   Can't go wrong with Mexican .  ;D

PHYL   I remember when we went to Decorah for those 5 years  - usually the 4th was part of it - the juvies had fledged .  DH 2 could be one of the later fledges?

KB  Bet Jim was surprised as well ( carp)  :o  That baby kangaroo looks so fragile.   Wow  what a save on that calf in moving waters as well.  :o
 
OLDGUY  I'm sure you will master that new "toy" in a flash  ;D ;D    Very funny video from Leslie  :D   Maru is one laid back cat  ::) ::)

CLYNN  I have that Emily Dickenson quote in a piece of art work  :)   Have a fun day with the munchkins  ;D

HEAVENLY B-DAY WISHES TO OUR HORST

PT went very well - I love this gal .  So today I begin my regimen and because of the holiday will see her in a week.  Time for me to make progress   ;) ;)

kb - Love the look on Mama loons face at the carp.

oldguy - Hope you can help.  ;)  Very cool on the portable display!

E4E - I got a funny email from jaspurr this morning.  She said, she needed something more stronger than coffee.  Sweet Daisy was exploring the house during the night, and she could hear her meowing but couldn't find her at first.  All is good now.  :D

clynn - Of course I don't mind.  It was a sweet moment between Bandit and Misty.  I have caught him licking her head recently.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Horst!

Good Morning Beakers! Phyl and Clynn, love  the picture you both chose this morning!  The colors are so pleasing as is the composition.

E4e. True what you say about the tzus and like potato chips, you cannot just eat one!  They are however a tad high maintenance!

Tsk, good news on pt!   I loved those white bags of oleo with the red dot!  I got my mother to buy one so I could squeeze it!  Odd toy!  My dad with his somewhat Wisconsin roots would not eat it so we were a butter family! Some how the “fake” stuff seems like salty soft plastic to me.  I have had my share of it however.

Lis, sharing your cupp!

Clynn, have fun with the kiddies today and
STay cool.
Lani, I would look to see if that moving company is still in business and either call the police to track down the truck or file a suit.   I know you do not need me to give advice!  I just cant help myself!  Lol

Have a good day.  Oh, think the finch babies are gone!

Happy heavenly birthday, Horst!

Just read the cure for weeds and aphids is neem oil which kb uses, vegetable oil, boiling water or vinegar.   The last two for weeds and the first two aphids.

Good Morning Beakers

Woke up this morning to a loud thunder clap - got another .1 inch of rain  forecast is chance of rain this afternoon and chances everyday for the rest of the week.  AQI down this morning to 221 and slowly droping - we have a reporting station 1 mile East of us, that graphs the past 24 hours, so trends can be seen.

Lani - sent you a PM

Lisa - I have not gotten a responce from Jaspurr yet - I expect that she will pursue my suggestions before responding. ;)

Well, good guessing E4E, but not at ATF early.  All's OK but a took a ride in the med wagon to spend 6-7 days at Good Sam.  They said something about "quite a few pulmonary embolisms."  Doing good so they let me escape today.  Went through this about 15 years ago; tried again for an encore.  It's been a long time. They do not know the why yet, they're still analyzing tests.  But they let me go!   Long time out of commission, unusual to be held this long in hospital lately.  But they did promise  :-\  it would be forever this time.

Like all of you I was worried about the adoptees, the weather, our HD2 fledge (can't believe she waited for me), heat and drought, condition of the yard/flowers.  Not much to worry about - it's mostly dead.  All that work, time, sweat, $ . . .  I made a bad pick a month or so back: Love the look of the new-rage wave petunia, took chance on a couple that are hanging like small, flowerless willows.  Wrong year for trying new.

Today I'm going to use up another day to rest.  I might even bite the bullet and go out to see an up-date-and-personal look at the damage.

Please all be assured that I'm already doing better; much praying and following the rules going on at this end.

Took Jeff to the eye doctor this morning, and we stopped at Red, Hot & Blue for some lunch, and made sure we had plenty to eat, so I didn't have to cook tonight.  Jeff got a pulled chicken platter, and I got a fried catfish platter.  We split an onion loaf (which is their version) of blooming onion. 

karen - I am happy to share a cuppa with anyone.  I am having another right now.  Wow, you all are gonna be hot today...97!

tig - That seems to be the norm for us...they get us all worked up saying...alert day, severe weather and nothing happens.

E4E - I am glad that clynn shared it too.  I sometimes forget!  ;D

Tsk how'd your apt went well  yesterday?

Lisa  ...🙏 's for Misty and 3 remaining kittens

Lani Don't know what to make of the movers?

Phyl, thanks, but you know I'm a long-time RRP cam and nest follower of many years, so of course I checked GSB chat,  nestcam news, GSB/RRP blogs and news, recent videos, and such, before I asked if anyone in the Beak had news about GSB fledgling sibling, Alice, and why she was missing from the GSB sibling flight training squadron. There wasn't anything official that I saw regarding her not being part of the recent sibling events there. I received a PM today from someone who closely follows the daily details from that GSB nest, and learned that a few nights ago, it appeared that something - possibly/probably an owl - flew up and took something from the top of the nest cam at GSB, and there were a few cries. There is an old video, farther back than I had looked, of that kerfuffle apparently, as I was told in the PM, but it isn't definitive. But since GSB sibling fledgling Alice hasn't been noted since then, it is presumed by some that she may have been taken by an owl. There is nothing definite about that from RRP that I had found, as of last night, and there was no RRP or chat mod or other posts or notes or news about it that I could find, as of late last night. Perhaps RRP is waiting to collect more info. In any case, unless GSB eyeass, Alice, reappears, it seems she may be gone. RIP Alice.  Fly high and dive steep.  :-* :-* :-*  Wishing continued success for Newman and his remaining GSB eyeasses.  :-* :-* :-*

Lisa, what a darling pic of Bandit and Misty that Clynn posted. Love Bandit's ears a sign of confused emotion. He likes it, but doesn't want to ;D ... oh my Miss Daisy must be a hand full! LOL! Enjoying Jaspurr's updates!  ;D

{{{Tsk}}} I'm so glad for you that you like the pt gal and had a great appt! many good blessings ahead for you  :-*

{{{Karen}}} I with you about the movers. I was worried the moment they were leaving our driveway with Aly's things and had a sick feeling she may never see her things again. That whole episode with the movers 4 weeks ago when they were packing Aly's things was awful. I can't describe to you how upset I was over the exchange between my almost 80 year old husband and the young 20+year old manager. When he threatened to throw Aly's things out on the driveway I wish we told him to leave it all and go... I use neem oil more often this summer than last and i think I'm ahead of the aphids/white flies this year!

Oldguy, thanks for pm I sent links to Mike too. He's going to talk to Aly tomorrow.... Claire is such a good mama... enjoyed the fiddle music ;D

Baz, thank you for sharing about Alice. I wondered too, I had gone back through the chat roll, but couldn't find any one posting about Alice. Only hints here and there. I'm heartsick to think she suffered that night I had watched her with her sibling on the nest roof.  :'( I was happy for GSB family that 4 survived without their mom, Newman did a fantastic job!   I try to check things out before I ask too, so I appreciate your follow up...

Eagles, I miss Horst too, he shared his love for his grandson, family, knowledge and friendship unconditionally a very nice gentle man.  :)

Tig sorry about the rain---you and KB sure need it.

{{{Puff}}} Gosh! You're not here everyday so had no clue about you stint in hospt.  The beauty of a cell phone---whenever I'm outside or in the car running errands. That cell phone is either in pocket or purse. Smart to have the phone w/you.  Your symptons are  truly scary at the least--- Glad you home and doing well. Do take care and easy does it.

Lisa I saw the same video of the skirmish Alice had---so very sad. RIP Alice. The GSB thread has STL and Nora posting great snaps of everything. Those
two are fantastic and a wealth of info.
 
Lori especially nice tribute to Eagle Duck

Y'all    Lots of really nice memoirs of 'Eagle Duck'. A  true gentleman.

Lani I truly hope Aly can get some response and anwsers. This is ridiculous

Karen you adopted a puppy? It's so cute.

Tsk glad you like your PT gal

CLynn how was your day w/ Bella?

Lani, sorry Aly has to go through this, not easy when you have moved away from home, started a new job in a new place... at least she has Dewey for comfort.  And Mike will help her sort this out. Owls need to be sleeping in the daytime, falcons, ospreys and eagles need be sleeping at night, and never the twain should meet. I wish that was the way it was.

BL, Half Moon Pond looks like a very pretty and peaceful place to be...

Almost forgot pictures of the Munchkins! Yesterday was a kind of 'not do much' day! Bella worked on the Barbies hair again, and both of them worked their summer workbook assignments. It was hot, humid and hazy and a few raindrops here and there.

Phyl, I hate having computer problems... hope you get your problems solved!  What did we do before cell phones? I wonder how many lives have been saved because of them. And how many lives lost when texting became available...  I remember mercurochrome and merthiolate,  Mom would put merthiolate on our scraped knees and man, it stung! Sad about Alice...  :'(  I fear for the others, dang owls. Thanks for Amy's Blogs!

Lori, love the birthday card for ED/Horst. And how are you and Destini doing these days? How is your Mom and your Dad, and your Grandma and your brother? I guess I must be nosey!  ;D

Puff, OMG, I hope you are feeling better each day and will soon be back to yourself!

Lani - Looks like some sort of action will need to be taken on behalf of Aly's furniture & things.  Glad it seems you may be receiving some good advice from a Beaker(s).

Phyl - Hope you get your PC worked out - maybe geek squad on the way?  Like your Thurs thro-back pics!  Thank you for MpMom's pic @ Sauces BE nest and Two Harbors!

Hi 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 and All!

My prayers for Puff, TSK, Karen/Piper, Misty/3 babies, {{{GSB Alice/Jaycie}}}  :'( :'( :'(
Dear God, I hate to have these owls so close to our favorite nests, well any nests, SWFL, GSB  :'(
And yes I do understand its nature, owls need to eat and feed their young yada, yada, yada, so please KCTY. ;D

Yesterday was a busy day. Kitchen sink pipes was leaking, so I had a plumber at 9am, washer needed new bearings an appliance guy showed up 11am, and at 2pm I had my hair cut with a new stylist. She was very nice and did a great job! I'm easy going, so I didn't expect everything to be done like my former stylist/friend. I'm pleased, and very happy to have someone just 15 minutes away from home. Though I will miss my former stylist Vicki very very much.... And Now, I need to find a GP here too. Though I do enjoy these trips to the valley, I hate Mike having to drive highway 87 and the freeways so often. I'm content to be in my little mountain retreat here in Rim Country.  ;D

I'll be back, Raudel will be coming to help with the trees and I need to water plants and get out of his way.
And sorry for my bad mood. This movers situation has me worried.  :(
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning!  Where is Lisa?
Piper is 6 years old, they say.   She arrived at the shelter as a stray.  Research turned up her owner who said they were moving and could not keep the dogs. No medical info other than that she was spayed.  Heart worm negative and a tad overweight!   She is very affectionate and engages well,  and does not appear to be house trained!   I think I am nuts!  It takes up to 3 months for a dog to decompress   Goimg to do a dna test.  Kit arrived this morning!
Hate owls!  Theyneed to stick to mive!
Glad to see Lisa who showed up while I was dilly dabbling!

Mercy was Hershey and is now Piper.   Will be doing a dna on her and will put her on a diet,  we can both lose together!  She is not house trained and I must say it has been sometime since i went thru this!  She was in the shelter a month.  Because she was there that long tgey only charged 65 dollars instead of their regular  125.00! Seds

So very sorry about Alice.  Dang owls

(((KAREN))), CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR NEW, ADOPTED PUP, PIPER!!!   :D :-* :-* :-*

I hope you don't mind me posting the pictures of your new adopted pup, Piper! :D  (The pictures are from the animal control services website url Karen posted.) I'm sure Lisa and Jeff are honored that you named her after Misty's kitten, Piper.  :) :-* :-*  Do you know how old she is, or how she came to be at your animal services?  I hope she has beem house-trained in the past, and will get re-house trained again soon. Fun! Enjoy sitting on your porch with your new Piper and watching the hummingbirds and all your wonderful view.  :) :-* :-*

P.S. I just now saw your most recent post, which answers my questions about Piper.  ;) :D

Post by: Puff on June 29, 2023, 02:48:55 PM

We all agree KarenG- Piper looks like a sweetie.  Remember and allow for the fact that she's uncertain and scared - she'll come around.

Lani - my trip last Wednesday to Good Samaritan was 11-12 minutes, waiting for ambulence, maybe 3-4 minutes.  Time was and is of the essence.  My story: When I moved here 53 years ago there weren't but 3 houses around.  Then they put in an exway ramp.  Now it is, to be honest, busier and noisier.  Only small private owners for businesses, seems like most residents are/were looking for the joy of being small and isolated.  Some people in the county even know where Darien is.  Haven't been in Chgo in at least 6 months.  (Had to have pizza from my favorite place for my BD tradition.)  But again I digress. . .My point is, 50 years ago  I didn't know the serious need to select your location when getting near 60 yrs.  My area developed surprisingly nice.  And. . .the rate of return from taxes could be responsible for all the realllly important benefits.

The reason I've chosen Lani to address this to - I still vividly recall you mentioning before about a trip for Mike to Paxton for vital help.  You said then that rather wait for an ambulence (90 miles) and then ride back it back to Paxton would be measured in hours/parts of hours.  DIY about 1/2 the total time???

No, I like the service I got last week.  I only mention this issue to have the oldsters on here make it an important step in the process of moving/choosing.  More vital? than closer to Walmart, fav icecream,  or even pizza?

Puff - That must have been very frightening!

Have a good night, everyone!

Lisa, I got another PM this morning from a regular, daily,, GSB nest follower, who said that apparently Jaycie, one of the 3 remaining eyasses at GSB, was taken from the top of the GSB nest box by an owl early this morning. Apparaently there is a video of it, but I can't watch that.  :'(   RIP Jaycie, GSB PEFA fledgling... Fly high and dive steep, with your other heavenly sibling, Alice, and your heavenly mom, Savanna.  :-* :-* :-*  Hoping for continued success and a better long-term outcome for Newman and his 2 remaining fledgling eyasses at GSB.  :-* :-* :-*

And after all why is it the "good people" should just move..not even considering financial costs?

In the Twin Cities, health care access is limited to the er um Twin Cites except for Rochester and Buffalo...
Only going to get worse.

Help?  AQI = Air Quality ??

They're broadcasting on local news/weather that the Chicago area this morning - The worst reading of any major city today on the planet .  Has anyone else anywhere heard this iffy claim to fame?

P

Yes, indeed....Chicago and Minneapolis and 2 other's were reported to be the 4 worst on the planet..this was yesterday.

STL posted this a bit earlier about Jaycie.  So...she's still with us according to dedicated GSB cam/nest watchers

Quote from: STLbf on June 29, 2023, 03:14:52 PM

Not so fast!  Jaycie is still at GSB.  Pics from just a few minutes ago, and I'm pretty sure that she caught this bird herself.  Warbler watchers will know what kind.

Yup.  Jaycie is still with us.  Hard to believe because I watched the video and it sure looked like the owl snatched her.  So either she flew off just as it got there (seems unlikely to me) or it didn't have a good grip and she got away.  Mod GABear says the cam ops are sure that it was Jaycie on the box last night, so it wasn't that the owl got one of the others.  GOOD NEWS!

WOOT!!!  I am over the moon about the good news that Jaycie managed to avoid the owl's attempt earlier this morning, and is confirmed by leg band on live cam to be alive, and apparently is eating and well at GSB this afternoon!!! YAYAYAY!!!!!  :-* :-*  I watched the live cam at GSB a little while ago for about an hour while it was searching the area around GSB, but I signed out before Jaycie was discovered alive and well this afternoon and her identity confirmed by leg band on live cam! YAYAY!!! And I also saw the good news that it was definitely Jaycie, and not a different sibling, who was on top of the nest box when the owl attempted to get her, but the owl was NOT successful!!  Sooo happy for this news!  :-* :-* :-*  I am going to go back and remove my earlier post today referencing the earlier thought about what might have happened to Jaycie earlier, that didn't happen.  ;) :D  So as not to confuse... Maybe anyone who quoted my earlier post on that subject can remove that quoted portion, too... to help eliminate confusion. Thanks!  So happy!!!  :) :-* :-*

Karen, scary about that tornado near Mickey's home! Glad that Mickey didn't have any significant damage other than large tree limbs down in her yard. That's awful about her neighbor having a tree through their roof, and another losing a roof. Just awful. I hope no one was hurt. I wasn't clear from your post - is it Kathryn or Mickey who has pneumonia? Hope for a full and speedy recovery from that.

PUFF  People would ask, when we owned in Door County,  would you ever retire here?  I said no. I need to be 5 minutes from my hospital  LOLOL   AQI  Air Quality Index.   That worst day for AQI was two days ago..  High 200's  Today at last look was 137

LISA  WOW  Great news - she escaped the owl.  Hope they all hide tonight.

KAREN  I'm so glad Mickey is OK and house is safe. Neighbors not so lucky.   Good that she is a support for Kathryn.  Hope Kathryn is OK.  Can't mess with pneumonia.

My points exactly, tsk.

Surprise rain for me.  While I was "indisposed" for the week, it must have rained around me.  I went outside to check damage and conditions today:  wind damage (not serious though), rain guage had just over an inch of measurement, rain but dried out plants.  Something happened when I wasn't looking?

We had a dreadful thunderstorm this afternoon---almost sounded like a tornado was brewing up some trouble. 3" of rain that the earth gobbled up.

CLynn the Munchkins look great and so does Barbie  ;)   Cool 'Where's Waldo ' on Talon.  The PC issue is with my financial program---out of the blue a wierd window popped up and flashed so fast all I could make out was "The Lists..." with option to 'Okay' or 'Cancel'.. Whatever I was suppose to do couldn't be done and the window closed abruptly. Quicken wont open now; it tries, but doesn't. This bad. I need resolve it fast. Not sure if Geek Sqd will be able to do that. The other question is---"Do I uninstall and reinstall using my most recent back up?  Risk the time or let debits accru  and wait.  :-\

I had done a sys recovery to the 21st. But that changes the registry and normally it works. But, not  htis time and none of my programs will open much less shortcuts work. All that functioned was Email and Quicken.  So I restored  to 6-28 and I have my PC fworking as before sans the Quicken.    I not that brave to do much on my own and well who knows


Karen I hope you and Piper #2 have a fun filled life together. That little cutie will keep you a glow.  I',m relieved that Mickey is doing well/house is okay.    🙏 's  for Kathryn.

Tsk/OG My parents had 3 of those Premimum Saltine cracker tins---we each got one. Mine's empty as I don't eat them anymore---Triscuit is my fave.

Puff/Lisa I  too, had thought Jaycie was a gonner. But, posed the question to STL/Nora noting all the chit-chat going on . And so glad I did too. Thought I 'd share STL's reply  in a quote here.

Puff, I just read about your "adventure".  I am so glad you were able to get the help you need and that you didn't leave the party just yet.  Please take care of yourself.

Hi to all the Beakers. I haven't posted lately, but am trying to keep up with all the the things going on with everyone.

My husband and I went on a 2 week vacation to Maine, Rhode Island and a bit of Massachusetts.  We flew to Boston and headed down to Providence for a few nights.  Lodging was scarce and a bid sketchy due to Taylor Swift being in town, but we made do.  We visited two of the mansions in Newport - The Breakers and The Elms.  I have nothing to say but WOW.  Just amazing.  We spend the next day in Providence and waked the campus of Brown University, visited the Rhode Island School of Design. 

From Providence we went to Salem.  That was a lot of fun.  It's a different story now than what I recall learning in grade school.  After a couple of days in Salem we drove to Rockland Maine.  Yes, that Rockland where the Puffin Project store is located.  It was so good to learn about the man that started the work in re-establishing the Puffin colonies.  The Bob Anderson of Puffins.  Later that afternoon we boarded a 150+ year old schooner, The Stephen Taber, and spent 4 nights sailing around Penobscot Bay.  It was wonderful.  The people, the scenery, the wildlife (a couple of bald eagles and quite a few curious seals, but no puffins) and the food was amazing.  https://www.stephentaber.com/.  It was a great adventure.  One  night we even anchored near the oldest continuously used Osprey next.  It is huge.

After sailing we headed up to Bar Harbor.  Visited Acadia National Park and enjoyed the town during the first week of the tourist season.  On our way back to Boston, we visited a few other cities and towns.  Did a little shopping at the LL Bean outlet store.  It was a great 2 weeks of and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the northeast coast.

Thank you everyone for your posts.  I really enjoy keeping up with everyones adventures.

Be safe, be calm, be well
Weasel

Lani - send you a pm.   I totally agree that Horst/ED was a kind and gentle man.  He helped me several times with Avatars and other stuff - he even gave me his personal email address!  He always was willing to assist anyone who needed help.

LisaG - You mentioned to Tsk that might have BLTs & corn on the cob tonight, we had hotdogs that I grilled in a skillet and corn on the cob!   Oh no, not another one gone by an owl  :o ::)
Actually, our area right here did not reach a temp of 71 today, our high was 62!
Fantastic news that Jaycie is alive!! ;D ;D


Puff - Okay Puff!  You acknowledged; no overdoing!! ;D

Karen - Sometimes it may take a while to teach a dog to be house trained, so just keep the carpet/rug cleaning sprays handy.  Most are so fast & easy to use!  I know you've had pups before, so I don't need to give you any advice in training. ;) :)

Baz - Love that you posted more pics of Karen's Piper! So cute  ;D

Tsk - I feel as you do about those so-called movers of Aly's furniture & stuff.  That is why I have just sent Lani a pm.    Yaaay, glad for the rain you got!

Puff - You make a good point in making decisions as to where to choose to live - especially as one gets older (a senior)!

Kb - Definitely health care accessability is good to live close to and that you have a hospital nearby is a good thing too!

Phyl - Thank you for status of Jaycie! :) ;D :-*

Tig - So good that Camper went out to bring in supper! ;D

Weasel - Great to see you in the Beak!  Your vacation sounds so wonderful - glad you had such a great trip!! ;D

Beakers have a good night and sleep well  :)

Clynn, I like Talon's t-shirt, munchkins look well and happy.... nice pic and update of the Black Eagle family.... cute pic of the Green Heron fledgling! We've watched a few Heron cams, especially at feeding time. ;D

Kb, beautiful pic of Lake Harriet.

Oldguy, like your morning pic!  ;D

Karen, Piper is adorable, she has sweet eyes... glad to hear that Mickey's okay, sorry for her neighbor's damage. I hope no one was hurt.

{{{Puff}}} yes, location for medical needs is important. Payson's senior community move down to the valley near medical facilities and residential communities when necessary. We plan on moving possibly back to Kansas in a couple years or so, but I will not move back to the desert..... I hope you had a restful day.   :-*

Baz, I hope you had a lovely day  ;D

Lisa, GREAT NEWS ABOUT JAYCIE!!! I pray they stay away from the nest box and hid in the bluffs.  :-*

Weasel, love reading about your travels, thank you for sharing  ;D

Lani, I think it was the Cornell Blue Heron cam we were watching years ago, five youngsters in the nest with that crazy hair! I want you to know that if you move to Kansas City in the future  we will definitely be having a Girl's Weekend! You will only be 250 miles south of me!

Phyl, I had to look up Avocet, have never heard of that one!  Wonder if this is the first time they have been seen on the Flyway? Anthony looking at the shrubbery instead of the ocean! It's raining here right now, a totally unexpected blessing! I Love Lucy, a staple of our childhood! I agree, a very pretty sunrise on the Flyway!

E4E, your cooking hot dogs inside made me think that I need to get my indoor grill tried out this weekend! Your weather sounds so nice, are you on the coast?

Puff, hope you are feeling better every day... We are in place here, 2 hospitals and all kinds of medical offices within a mile. There was one medical center when we moved here in 1996, now it's a medical community with 2 west branches of the downtown hospitals. I do worry about my Mom, she is 15 miles from the nearest hospital, and it's a smaller rural hospital. She got some kind of airlift insurance when Dad was getting worse and still has it, to take her to the nearest bigger hospital in Evansville IN (58 miles away).

baz, love the 'grateful heart' saying. Always a good thing to remember, be thankful. Especially for what didn't happen...

karen, how are you and Piper doing? She is a sweetie and will be good company for you!  Glad to hear Mickey and Kathryn escaped the worst! Here is an article I found in the news:  https://www.sj-r.com/story/weather/severe/2023/06/29/straight-line-winds-cause-damage-in-springfield-il/70369881007/   Ed's niece in Springfield had trees down but the chickens and the bees are okay.

Tig - Hope that Camper brought in a good dinner yesterday. ;)

Kb - Beautiful bird this morning!    Enjoy your walk with Ollie Man  8)

TSK - yes we planned it ourselves.  Last fall I read an article about about the schooner Ladona, which sales out of Rockport.  I looked it up and found that they also have the Stephen Taber.  We picked our dates and they decided what else we would like to see and do in New England.  Our sail was over Memorial weekend and in the middle of our two week trip.  I forgot to mention my new found favorite - Maine blueberries.  The jam, the pie and other treats are soooo yummy.

I'm at the doctor's as we speak for x-rays and possible shots. Woohoo!
I choose to pick berries in the heat of the day to avoid mosquitoes, but I do have a chair out there to make me more comfy, and there is shade.
Camper had a coupon for McDonald's. Not my first choice or my second but hey beggars can't be choosers. Lol.

WEASEL  You did your research and hit on some great spots.  ;D  Good thing you didn't have to pick the blueberries  :o

TIG  Dang - Hope all is OK with the knees - Were you in line for a replacement?  Right on the "beggars can't be choosers"  ;D   You did good with the chair and shade - .  When picking blueberries for grandma as kids - we had to wear long sleeved shirts and long pants - mid day and we still got bitten but her blueberry pie made it all worth it!  ;D  These were of course wild blueberries.

Enjoy these crispy buttery Italian Cream Stuffed Cannoncini's (Cream Horns).  The Cream Horns are made with puff pastry and filled with velvety and rich custard cream, so you get a crispy  puff pastry shell exploding with rich and sinfully creamy custard.

Doc is sweet... amazed at me. I can have knee surgery any time I want. But hip is stable (even though I brought lumps to his attention, which he says is bursitis on top of the arthritis). He says knock on wood I'm doing well and keep up the good werk in the pool. (Thank goodness I checked my email before I left this a.m. ... pool was closed today due to a wire hanging from the heat exchanger in ceiling.) Sigh. The handsome assistant who gave me the shots was a hoot and I only had to sing for about 10 seconds each time.  8)

I ate a good half cup of black raspberries last night. I froze a cup this a.m. for later. We have a very productive crop this year. The blueberries (service berries) are not as productive.

Off to see "Mr. Jones" later today, possibly followed by a trip to a Mexican restaurant for which Camper has a gift card.

Hot here for the next 5 days.  :'(

Lori - Oh, those Italian Cream Stuffed Cannoncini's looks delicious. I hope Peep shares her birthday goodies. 

tsk - You enjoy the movie, too!

I have an update on the last three kitties.  Angus was adopted this morning, by one of Jeff's friends.  Bradley & Kelly just came and adopted Lizzie.  I hope Stewie and Lizzie will get along!  Here is a pic of Lizzie on her way to her new home.  And, Raven the lil black and final one, is supposed to be getting adopted on Monday by Jeff's cousin Rene'.  She is adopting it for her daughter who lives in TN, and is bringing it to her on Monday.

For all you folks going to see the latest and last Indiana Jones movie here's some facts
that the movie is base on.


(https://archive.archaeology.org/graphics/logo_archive.png)

Indiana Jones’ Final Adventure
"The world’s most famous fictional archaeologist embarks on one last rollicking adventure in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on June 30. According to the filmmakers, the titular dial is inspired by a very real artifact—the so-called Antikythera Mechanism. Archaeologists believe the instrument, which was recovered from the wreck of a ship that sank off the Greek island of Antikythera around 65 B.C., is an astronomical device whose inscribed bronze gears were used to plot the motion of celestial bodies. You can read more about the device and ARCHAEOLOGY’s coverage of other discoveries from the shipwreck, including a marble statue, various bronze artifacts, and the skeletal remains of a man who may have gone down with the ship."


The Antikythera Mechanism

(https://archive.archaeology.org/0703/abstracts/thumbnails/antikythera1.gif)    (https://archive.archaeology.org/0703/abstracts/thumbnails/antikythera2.gif)

The Antikythera Mechanism is the earliest bronze geared device ever found. Each of its 30 gears has between 15 and 223 triangular teeth. Turning a knob on the side of the mechanism would have engaged the largest wheel, which rotated once for every year. Other gears governed the sun, moon, planets, and the pointers on two calendrical spirals. A CT X-ray image, right, reveals complex inner workings of the mechanism heretofore hidden beneath its corroded surface, left. (© Antikythera Mechanism Research Project)

Puff, I just read about your "adventure".  I am so glad you were able to get the help you need and that you didn't leave the party just yet.  Please take care of yourself.

Hi to all the Beakers. I haven't posted lately, but am trying to keep up with all the the things going on with everyone.

My husband and I went on a 2 week vacation to Maine, Rhode Island and a bit of Massachusetts.  We flew to Boston and headed down to Providence for a few nights.  Lodging was scarce and a bid sketchy due to Taylor Swift being in town, but we made do.  We visited two of the mansions in Newport - The Breakers and The Elms.  I have nothing to say but WOW.  Just amazing.  We spend the next day in Providence and waked the campus of Brown University, visited the Rhode Island School of Design. 

From Providence we went to Salem.  That was a lot of fun.  It's a different story now than what I recall learning in grade school.  After a couple of days in Salem we drove to Rockland Maine.  Yes, that Rockland where the Puffin Project store is located.  It was so good to learn about the man that started the work in re-establishing the Puffin colonies.  The Bob Anderson of Puffins.  Later that afternoon we boarded a 150+ year old schooner, The Stephen Taber, and spent 4 nights sailing around Penobscot Bay.  It was wonderful.  The people, the scenery, the wildlife (a couple of bald eagles and quite a few curious seals, but no puffins) and the food was amazing.  https://www.stephentaber.com/.  It was a great adventure.  One  night we even anchored near the oldest continuously used Osprey next.  It is huge.

After sailing we headed up to Bar Harbor.  Visited Acadia National Park and enjoyed the town during the first week of the tourist season.  On our way back to Boston, we visited a few other cities and towns.  Did a little shopping at the LL Bean outlet store.  It was a great 2 weeks of and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the northeast coast.

Thank you everyone for your posts.  I really enjoy keeping up with everyones adventures.

Be safe, be calm, be well
Weasel

Weasel, how great to hear from you! What a wonderful vacation you and your husband took!! It all sounds just perfect! I am particularly jealous of your 4-night sailing cruise and getaway aboard the historic schooner, Stephen Taber!! That is calling my name!! I took a deep dive on their web site... my kind of sailing trip, for sure! Glad you had a wonderful time exploring everywhere you visited! Thanks for sharing with us!  :)

I hope all in the path of the storms yesterday are okay. I saw later in the day, on The Weather Channel, that the storm Karen mentioned in an around Mickey's Springfield, IL area was part of a larger meso scale complex of storms, which officially turned out to be a derecho - it more than met the definition of a derecho - that complex of storms went for hundreds and hundreds of miles, and was so many miles wide, with winds 70-90 miles an hour! Affected many states! (I'm trying to remember now - maybe 7 states?) Yes, your area, too, Phyl! In addition to the downed trees, and damage to homes and property, I saw pictures of many completely flattened corn fields, too. Hate it for the farmers, and all affected. Glad all the Beakers are safe and accounted for, and glad to hear about Ed's family's chickens and bees staying safe through it all, too.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


Lisa, WOO HOO!!!! What sweet good news  that is about all of Misty's remaining kittens getting adopted!!  :D   I bet Stewie and Lizzie will become good friends - always an adjustment period, of course, but I'm told "opposite gender" cats usually do really well together. Bonus that you will get to hear updates on most all of them from time to time since all but 1 was adopted by friends, co-workers, or family! Woot!!  :-* :-* :-*  You and Jeff are superstar kitty caretakers!!  :)  Meanwhile, I hope Bandit and Misty are having a good day, and I'm sure you have told Misty that all her kittens are getting lots of love in new homes!!  :D :-*

Lori, yum on those custard filled cream horns!!  :D  When I was a kid, we would walk or ride our bikes a few blocks to a neighborhood
 shopping center with a bakery in it, and I would get either a custard filled or cream filled cream horn about half the time... and would get eclairs the other half of the time. So fresh, and so yum!! LOL!

Tig, glad you got your shots and that you didn't have to sing too long! Hope they don't take long to kick in and that you get some good relief from them for your knees. Bonus getting a sweet doc, and a funny and handsome assistant!!  ;) :D  Ugh on the hip bursitis in addition to the arthritis. I have the same. No fun when those bursa get inflamed!!  :o


Lani, I hear you and Mike singing, "Kansas City" (Here I come!)  ;)  I hear Clynn and Tsk singing it, too!  ;) ;D  Remember that ship that willi used to post a picture of near her coast? The one that the Beakers all wanted to get together and party on? Does it go to Kansas City?  ;) ;D

Baz here's a link to the radar loop of yesterdays derecho.
It's about 12 hrs of loop @ 20 minute intervals.
"Grab" the time slider at the bottom to get a really good look at that nasty bow.  :o
You can see that Illinois really took it on the chin.  :(
I also see that piece of energy out ahead of it that spanked Phyl's area.
Glad all Beakers are Aok .. OG did you get hit hard as well ?

Thanx Baz... Very occasionally when I have overdone, I take 1 Naproxen. It is a strong anti-inflammatory.

If you have been a fan of the Indi movies all these years you will appreciate this movie. Lots of throwbacks. Look at the top shelf photo in opening scene. And wait until the last scene to grab a tissue, and then smile. No bonus scene after credits.
Ok. Time to have Brussels sprouts and ejote app.

LISA   Indiana Jones - See one see them all.  1 hour too long for me and so loud it was hard to understand their dialogue.  Maybe I'm getting too old  ::) ::)    Agree with TIG   - lots of throwbacks to previous episodes.  What a wonderful end to the story of Misty's kitties - all to good homes  :)  Love Lizzie's big ears..

PHYL   The mechanism took them back in time to "Archimedes who created it". No mention of him in your data. :o  Literary license I think. ;)

Karen - Believe me, I have asked Bradley 100 times today, are you sure you want to do this and he said yes.  What he doesn’t know is if he can’t handle it, I will take Lizzie.  I’m not telling him that tho.

Tig and tsk - Thanks for the review on Indiana Jones.

Adorb photo from Decorah Chatter 2011--I remember when that was  re posted

Lisa amazing Misty's kittens are all adopted by family membners or Beakers.  I think all kittens grow into their ears and legs. I know all mine did /have

Tsk I son't know what happend wiith PC. But, it's gonna have to be fixed. I'm at a loss.  On the Indianna Jones franchise films...literary license I guarrantee. As the article says the The Antikythera Mechanism is the inspiration for the dial in the film.
I own all the film's DVDs. Will likely own the one when released. I"m dissappointed that the franchise wont end with IJ.s son taking over the quest and the previous film hinted, etc.

Hi E4E

Hi Bazi

{{{Lani}}} tks for  HellgateOsprey

Lori nice tgoodies for Peeps.

Lisa Lizzie reminds me of Maggie at that age.   I applaud the name change from Angus to George. If he'd been mine I'd change to 'Henry'

Phyl said I applaud the name change from Angus to George. If he'd been mine I'd change to 'Henry'
My Dad's name was George Henry -  ;)

We were on the norhern edge of that bid storm - got about .2 inch - was talking to our new 3rd asst. store manager when the rain started.  He was a dept. manager at the Marion store and working when the Derecho went thru a couple of years ago, said he would rather go thru a tornado than another Derecho.

We got another 1/4 inch of rain today, forecast to get about 1 inch tomorrow.

Puff - sorry to hear of your medical trip, but glad that you are back home and getting better.

((Puff)), I hope you are resting well, and feeling better each day.

Tig, glad you don't have to take naproxen often, and I hope your injections will help. I am well versed on naproxen, no thanks to having undifferentiated connective tissue disease.  I no longer take any regular meds for it, due to side effects (ulcer), and only use them very sparingly in very short stints for acute flares.  Feel better soon!

Lisa, Angus will always be Angus in my heart.  :-*  And...  Angus, by any other name, will be just as sweet.  :)  :-* :-*  I'm so glad he's in a good and loving home... as are all the kitties now. Hugs.

Karen, I'm glad Piper is getting along well, and you get to share company and love with a sweet pup... hopefully a house-trained one in the not-too-distant future, too.  ;) :D

Tsk, it's so aggravating when the movie audio is so loud that it distorts the dialogue. Ugh. But I wouldn't mind enjoying the theatre's A/C on a very hot day.  ;) :D

E4E, your hot dogs sounded yummy!  :)

Oldguy, Happy Friday backatcha!  :)  LOLOL on the "muahahahah!"  ;D


Have a good evening, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Tsk - You would go for a girl's weekend in Kansas city, driving almost 8 hrs 'doable'!!  I would love to, but I don't drive distances like that anymore (not that you asked, just mentioning)  :-[

Weasel - What a fabulous vacation you had!!!! ;D

Tig - We love McDonald's!  When our son was serving with the USMC, he would say that when he came home on leave, the first place he wanted to get food was McDonald's!!   They also have a 'Value Menu' that is very good!
Wow- A movie, fresh fruit out of your own garden, and mexican food - it doesn't get any better!!! ;D ;D

Tsk - Did you see Indiana Jones?!  I want to see it too - bet it was really good?!

LisaG - Thank you so much for the update on kittens!!  Lizzie is such a darling cutie!!  It looks like all were adopted into good loving homes!!  I'm so happy for that.  I know you are still missing all of them.   I know it must be rough because you loved each and everyone of them.  You & Jeff were the best fostering parents ever!! 
Nice to see that Misty and Bandit are starting to bond! :)   BTW, Lizzie's ears are cute!! :-* :-*

Baz - So cute how Lani & Mike will be singing 'Kansas City' (here I come) ! :)  I love that song!

Karen - House training is not easy - it takes time, but with persistence, it will pay off!

Phyl - Bummer your PC needs fixing.  When we have had a similar situation, we saved all on a thumb drive and then deleted everything and started from scratch as if the PC were new.  Its a process, but because we did it ourselves, it didn't cost any thing.

Oldguy - Interesting point you make with the names!  I would vote for the name to be George Henry!  ;D

Lani - Do you guys have any plans for the weekend?


Happy Birthday Peep

Speaking of the big screen, there is one right before us ..

A real old school 8' round yellow fun island with 6 onboard "sets sail" from the lake shore for the sunset cruise .. 
Hand paddled on the rotating disk .. oy'.
Now I'll never reveal if a 2 Cycle blender was involved prior. 

So all passengers are on the water in swimwear on fun island.

One wearing a very snappy white with bright red roses one piece.

Humming Birds descended on the inflatable in the middle of the lake.

Some of the 'crew' fell overboard laughing so hard there was some extra water in the lake.

As a native VTr she freaked shortly and we all laughed so hard _ good shit, never seen that one before.    8)

I recognized immediately they were not huge bumble bees 'assaulting" us for a unknown nectar reason in the middle of the lake.
   
But I too was laughing so hard I couldn't formulate the words humming birds. 

No humans or hummers were harmed during this fun island encounter I assure you.

Needless to say the 2 cycle blender is still going because the weather right here right now sucks so bad.    :P

The weather hand off from J to J here just as good as it gets  :)

now low campfire is here

Clynn, yep, we watched the herons cam along with 7birder. OMG! Remember feeding time. I was surprised mom never got a beak in her eye! He loved taking pics of Sand Cranes and Herons.... sorry, we won't be moving to KC, no big cities for us. But, you'll be one of the first to know what we decide to do.  :-* ... we have airlift insurance too.... terrible tree damage... glad
Ed's niece is okay, and her chicken and bees... sweet pics of DH2 and parent.

Lisa, yes, my help came yesterday. Now that trees, dead branches are gone. I can get to the leaves and pine needles much easier. ... just read your post about the 3 kittens. awww sweet Lizzie with those big eyes will give her new brother Stewie a new lease on life.... George is a great name, though I'm a fan of Angus.  ;D, but poor Raven will be in alone till Monday. So glad for you all, they will be in loving homes!  :-* You, Jeff and Misty did a great job! And I'm sure Bandit provided assistance too.  ;D

{{{Tsk }}} ;D

Weasel, you're so right, Maine blueberries are delicious! I've had them several years ago.

Karen, hugs and thank you for invitation  :-* ... did you order puppy piddle pads? I keep them handy for Sadie. I'm sure the home changes have been hard on Piper. Bless her. Hugs to you both.

{{{Tig}}} yum, fresh berries. I should have froze a batch I bought, they didn't last in the refrig very long. Take care.

Lori, wonderful birthday posts for Peep. I hope you, Destini, and family are well.

{{{Baz}}} As much as we loved and have many happy memories in KC, I don't want to live there  ;D We can't go back to Salina either. Mike and I can't agree where yet....  the storms must have been terrible. Like you, I'm so glad Beakers and their families are safe... love your good night!  :)

Thanks BL and Baz, for weather info. They say monsoon season has started in Arizona, but we haven't had a cloud, nor had any humidity yet.

Phyl, I had a tabby named Henry. I loved that cat! Neighbors got a kick, when I would put my head out the door or window and call his name! Henry!!! I hope when I go to the rainbow bridge, I'll call his name and he'll come running again. :-*

Oldguy, love the minion! I like the name George Henry.  ;D Thanks for links and videos.  :)

Aly received good news today!  :)
The moving company called, they are on their way and will arrive anywhere from 1-4 days. They want a check for the rest of the payment before they take her things off the truck.
Also, if they have to bring the items into the home there will be a charge per foot step…. Aly said, if they charge her extra for that, with permission from the apartment management, she will have them leave her things in the parking lot. And she bring them in herself. But, at least they are coming! Talons crossed!  Thank you all for your TLC, pms and suggestions.

Good night!

Peep, I hope you had a lovely birthday   :-*

What a thunder/rain storm!  Power outages and circut cut outs.


Lani good news for  Aly. However, I've never heard of those charges---certainly not separately.  Those movers are *&$#!@*     I hope when it comes Rainbow Bridge time Henry finds you.
.

{{{Karen/Piper2}}} it's gonna work out   ;)

OG those loveable Minions are back!!  Your Dad's name---gotta a good ring to it---George Henry.  Are you Phillip Henry?

{{{Tig}}} While my parents were alive all I heard was how delish fresh berries off the bush were. Esp warm from the sun. Don't you love the McDonald's choco milkshakes?

Lisa Lizzie was my Aunt Elizabeth's nickname. A very sweet Irish lass  :-*  Good idea to keep your adoption of her  a secret, if Stewie won't be nice.    ;)

Lani, glad you won't actually be in Kansas City, I don't want to drive there! I just like it that Kansas is close to Iowa... Topeka 248 miles, Wichita 383 miles... So, so glad to hear that Aly's stuff is alive and will be delivered well, I hope! An extra charge to take it inside? Those hucksters!! Any explanation as to where they have been for the last 2 weeks? And 1-4 days, that is a big window of time!  At least there is now hope...  :o And your guy was there to help with your fire wising, a good thing...

Phyl, and there's Bob!  Sitting on that handsome shoulder...  ::) You had some wild weather!  What have the Bluebirds been doing, you haven't mentioned them for a while...
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.enIByNELM117tyOX-qopFgAAAA?pid=ImgDet&rs=1)

Lisa, that was the best news on all the kittens having homes! That has to make you feel good! Good that you have a back-up plan for Bradley and Kelly, but I bet they will be fine. I think you really do want one of those kitties and I don't blame you. And you will see Lizzie every time you go there to babysit or visit!

BL, I think I understand, the hummers were after the red roses! That had to be scary but funny.... I think I recognize Jumbo in the picture??

E4E, I like the McDonald's $3.00 bundle, double cheeseburger and fries. I usually have that when I am driving the 8 hours to Mom's! That's my McDonald's fix!

oldguy, we are getting some nice gentle rain here, looks like all day... Thanks for Penny and Maru!  And the cute chickadees!  Cards tonight? Good Luck!

Wild Heart Ranch - Good Morning Everyone!!! Dinner time for the fawns. This week is a critical time for the fawns. Fireworks can really stress them out so they are inside until at least after next week. -Greg

Tinnitus seems worse too...
Lani... those movers! I hope they are being reported to BBB and social media... After items arrive.
Phyl... I never went to McDonald's before marrying. Our very  infrequent trips to fast food during my childhood were to a local sub sandwich shop (Clark) or White Castle. In high school I added Burger King. Kind of like there is a rivalry between St. Paul/Mpls. and our local radio stations (KDWB for me/WDGY for Camper) folks are either a BK person or McD.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE TO CATURDAY - JULY 1, 2023

74 heading to 83  hazy and mostly cloudy - Dew point 71  :o  :P

LISA   LOL  I like George!   And I bet Bradley is saying to himself " I think Mom will take Lizzie if this doesn't work"  ;D ;D

OLDGUY   LOL  Your dad was George Henry  ;) ;)  I wonder if it weren't for Covid if the Quarantine kids would be a group.  They sure are entertaining and Covid gave them a starting platform.   Song 500!

EAGLES  I'm not saying I would do it in one crack - LOLOL  5- 5 1/2 hours is enough for me ( the time for me to get to Decorah).  I.J was OK.  Never a dull moment...Had trouble understanding all the dialogue. ( maybe I'm too old)  Nice surprise ending.

BL  Funny story .  Would never have thought hummers would do that!!

LANI   Great news for Aly that the van will arrive after all.  Sure do wonder where it was all this time.  She is so smart to not have them rip her off with additional fees.  Good grief.  " Charge per foot step"  ::) ::) :o   Agree that BBB should be notified.

PHYL   You have been having some weather  :o

CLYNN  Awww  all those fawns at Wild Heart.  I'm dreading the fireworks over the next 5 days.  Started around here last night and Lulu reacts.
Since I'm starting to exercise again in the basement work out area I have, this is all new to Lulu.  So she decides to help and jumps up on the table and proceeds to lay on my stomach while I'm doing some leg exercises.  So I completely understand the gardening lady's situation.  ;D ;D

TIG   Feel bad that the cloud of not feeling up to par is hanging over your head.  Hope today goes better.  Do you do the Eply's exercises for your vertigo?  There are a couple different ones out there.

Happy Caturday!  When I was 4 I got  a baby doll I named Henry Raymond, after my two uncles.  All 3 are long gone.  Rip!
Currently 78 going to 97!  Have spent about an hour outside with Piper.  She was strolling around the yard and I was planted in a chair on the patio. My
Exercise off the walker!  Down two steps, walk a short distance and sit!  Get up and repeat in reverse. Still Little dizzy and some weak leg muscles!
Puff, I have to laugh at you and the phone.  I found ot, srveral years ago when my neighbor, across the street died that my landline phone worked as I walked across the street and into their house! Never disconnected and I thought nothing about it until the sheriff said is that your house phone?  He was amazed! I do have a cellphone but I do not like it!  To small!
Have to get busy!  Enjoy the day!  I will.
Tsk, funny story re Lulu.
Lani, I would contact more than the bbb re movers.  What does the contract specify?
Tig, feel better,   My favorites at Mcd are egg mcmuffin with sausage, quarter pounder with cheese and obion, no ketchup, fries and chocolate shake!   Not all at once and I have not been there for over a year!

Tsk We have no idea where her things have been. We assumed when it left the driveway that it was on its way to Oregon and would be stored there. But, it wasn't and they won't say where it's been. It may have been in AZ all this time, we just don't know.

Karen, good idea to have Piper spend some time outside, she'll get the idea.... love your memory stories.  ;D .... you and Piper take care and have a good weekend.  :-*

Sloth TV Playground Camera!
Stay tuned to see some of the animals from our rescue center as they go through their rehabilitation journeys, such as Viscerion, the crocodile, and some sloths practicing their climbing skills. You can even catch the various wild birds that visit our ranch constantly!

Antelope outwit wild dogs..unbelievable....watch till the end. No animals were harmed in this video.

Lani - thanks for the Royal Albatross video....I forgot. How long before Manaaki leaves again?

So happy the movers have communicated with you/Aly.....not trying to be a pessimist here, but I'll believe it when I sees it! ;) ;)....this comes from my watching our weather predictions all summer fall apart.....teehee.

I am taking a break from outside work cause I'm a sweaty pig....caulked the shed, broke down some more of my broken chaise lounge chair for garbage can, hand sawed a piece of landscaping timber for garbage, and more....the sawing is what really did me in...and I have a table saw inside Scott's shop I'm just not comfy using and also a hand held electric saw.....oh well...I do what I'm comfortable with.

Hey, my neighbor called to say she is leaving till the 5th!..would I watch her house please....okay.
I'm just thrilled I won't have to deal with illegal fireworks at the end of my driveway not hers esp. in this 3rd year drought, nor partying!...

Good Afternoon Beakers.......Happy Caturday!!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cb/32/76/cb327641338387de24444c5b94e48044.jpg)

We did a lil shopping this morning, and the 4th of July traffic is crazy here.  It took us almost an hour to get 30 minutes away! 

karen - I am glad you like the name George for Angus.  Jeff's friend has sent plenty of pics of George settling on, and he seems to be doing great.  Stop with that McDonald's order....you are making me hungry!  ;D  Hope Piper and you have a good weekend!

Phyl - I am happy about the kitties being adopted.  I like the name Henry too for Angus.  I don't want Bradley to give up so easy after adopting Lizzie, knowing Mom will take her if it don't work out.  He was just approved to work from home, so he should be able to work with Lizzie and Stewie. 

oldguy - You don't know how many tears I cried on the day I had to leave them at AC to be spay/netured, and knowing I was not bringing them home with me.  It was very hard, and that is one reason I will not be a foster again.  It broke my heart thinking they would not get adopted.  I am so grateful for everyone who has adopted them.   

baz and E4E - Thank you!

Lani - Thanks for the Royal and TRR updates!  Glad to hear that your help arrived, and all is done.  Fingers are crossed that Stewie and Lizzie can get along like Misty and Bandit.  Bradley said, Stewie hissed at her a few times.  I sure hope Aly reports this company to the BBB, the Attorney General of whatever state their home office is based, and leaves a bad review on YELP after they leave her stuff with her.  I would not give them a check till I know for sure it is all of my stuff, and it is ALL there. 

clynn - Yes, it does make me feel good knowing they all have homes.  I really hope Jeff's cousin is going to get Raven on Monday, cause if not...I will get her while I am dropping Misty off to see if she can be spayed.   :D

tig - Hope you are feeling better.

tsk -  ;D ;D  You nailed the Bradley thought!

kb - I think I would have said, with pleasure!  ;D

LISA   For that very reason I would not foster either.  Nor would I volunteer in a shelter.  I would get too attached. You did a great job and now have acquired a whole brain-ful of new knowledge  LOL

T40 - I wanted to see the Dog and the kitty in 2nd one.. :(    Funny cats and dogs - dog with cat's head in its mouth - look on cats face  LOL
Funniest - dog with stick and mission impossible music - Thought he might jump in and jump back out  LOL   How satisfying to get a fence up that fast. ;D  Very cool on how to get stuck ring off.  Great ones today - thanks

Happy Caturday Beakers

Very disappointing day for the weather - last night the forecast was for 3/4 inch of rain today - we got .08 early before sunrise and only clouds so far the rest of the day.  Now the forecast is for only a quarter of and inch starting at 10pm.  Most of the rain has gone to the north of us.  The good this in that the rain the past 2 days have cleared out our smoke issue - AQI is back to the green status at 33. ;D

What a day !
Had some mean weather just before lunch---blew my deck furniture about---whipped the 'Sam Hill' out of my potted A. daisies and  AZ. coreopsis . Poor peonies too.
The squirrels were frearless.
All this 'knocked out" my pc. By that I mean the power outage shut it off. Just now I unplugged , counted to '10' and plugged back in.
Have some  purchases to make tomorrow.    Geek Sqd. wont show until 7-11-23    7am to 7pm. So  then Jim and I must figure out an alternative method of tracking purchases and offline banking---online isn't 'current' as a PC money program.  We just cant wait or hold off on some 'things' and the CR/CD isn't suppose to be a way of life in my book. But, will have to do that for a spell.  >:( :(     Can't make sense of what I'm saying---that's okay we know.  :-* :-* :-*


Qu iclky:   Goodluck OG at crds
Lisa Agree w/you on not letting Bradley know you'll take Lizzie if thngs don't work out w/ Stewie. As someone said earlier---you'll see her at visits.
T40 tks for links-I'll check them out later
Everyone tks for Caturday posts and updates on wildlife and yourselves  Y'all should know by now---I wish you folks only the best in Life.  :-*

Sooooooo.
Gonna call it a day. Have rented  Laim Neeson's nest recent movie ' Marlow'. with Diane Kruger and Jessica lange.
Dinner?

Oh my..Ollie man is so chill and it's so peaceful 'round here.

Without my neighbors being home.

Even though the house is closed up with the tv and air conditioning on....Ollie can hear them even when I can't...

Shocking how alert he is...

wish this was our always condition...She has kids that scream outside for hours at a time, and she and other adults usually party in their drive and garage......nada tonight!

Phyl - You had a thunder and rain storm?!  We had a lovely day over here - low 70's!  We did have precipitation & drizzle for several mornings tho!

Clynn - Thank goodness for what the Wild Heart Ranch does - as you mention, this is a critical time for Fawns and All animals with the fireworks - especially the loud, illegal booming bombs/fireworks.  I feel sorry for all the animals that are so frightened that they sometimes get hurt or worse.  A few years ago, we had a mama finch in a nest on our porch, and after the 4th (all the loud bombing, etc.),  she was gone and never came back. :'(

Tig - Maybe you just need a good night's rest, take care. {{Tig}}

Tsk - Yes, I do understand about making a trip like that! :)

Karen - Sounds like a nice time outdoors with Piper!  Weather must have been nice that you sat outside for a while. :) 8)

Lani - Thank you for all the Albatross and Sloth updates. 

Kb - Wow, you have sawed some things to get rid of!!  Good for you in taking care of things.

LisaG - I knew it would be really hard on you to leave those kittens that you had taken care of since day one and then to go home without them.  My heart totally went out to you.  I'm sure you still shed tears even now.  I agree with you for not wanting to do that again.  You & Jeff gave your hearts and your very best, and the kittens were healthy and flourished, but then you had to turn them in to AC.  My heart still goes out to you.  Anyone who does what you & Jeff did doesn't get over it very quickly.  Bless you & Jeff. :-*

Oldguy - That is good the smoke cleared out with the rain.  Just wish you would have gotten a little bit more rain. :)

Phyl - Have a nice evening and enjoy the movie.  :)

Kb - Amazing how well Ollie's hearing is!!

Karen - I can't stand fireworks for how it frightens animals.

Lani -  If and when, Aly's stuff gets delivered all intact to her, then she should report them to the BBB and if she doesn't receive her things, definitely call the police.   I feel so sorry that all of you have had to deal with this nightmare.  Please let us know how this all plays out. {{Lani}}

Puff - How are you feeling?  You better be taking care! :-*

Hi Lori  :)

All have a good evening & sleep well.

Good morning Phyll and bes,krtd!  Going for a second cuppa!  Piper had breakfast and will have to go out in a few minutes!  She was good with last nights fireworks!  BestI have had.  I had tobmedicate quite a few,  no amount of cuddling, loud tv, would help!  My male tzu, Bogey, wanted to sit in the car!   Poor things.   Sat out with Piper earlier and noticed the humidity seemed higher than yesterday, 
Weather is hotter than usual!   Thankfully no derechos!

Phyl, love your cute little patriotic girl with her sparklers! Well, you made it through all that was going on yesterday. I hate it when the weather bombards the plants! Wow, that's a pretty long wait for the Geeks to come look at your pc!

Lani, looks like a good crowd at Green Valley Park, looks like entertainment in the shelter! I remember when we were young kids visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Bone Gap IL, every Saturday night there was a movie just off of the main street. Everyone came with their lawn chairs, and we kids had a blast (never watched the movie...). Did Mike make it home, I can't remember when he was coming back... Thanks for the Albatross update, I have never noticed that pretty black and white patch on their back between the wings! And the bears, time for salmon! Bet they are ready!

T40, thanks for all the good videos!

E4E, I have never liked fireworks, even when I was a kid. They were not allowed in our county until just a few years ago. Now they are everywhere, I hate those fireworks stands that pop up like  produce stands. Just always seemed like a waste of money... and I hate how it affects some people and animals.

baz, People don't land on their feet.' LOLOL

karen, sounds like you and Piper are getting along great, you are good for each other!

Lisa, so Misty is getting 'fixed' Monday, then she and Bandit can enjoy life snuggling.  If Raven isn't picked up Monday you are going to rescue him? So your uncle can pick him up from your house or will he be yours then? I know you want one of the kittens... ::) Saw this idea for you on FB:

ugg, terribly hot and humid but I've already done the 3 W's...walked Ollie, watering, and wilting...
I'll move the sprinklers around all morning, do some hand watering where they don't reach and call it a day.

Tig - you and me both on the hope for rain....my weather app has varied widely the last few days...from 1 1/2 inch to now about a half an inch....means we won't know until Tuesday I guess.

My two love birds red tail hawks are sitting on the water tower....

tsk - Thank you  :-*  I don't know about all that brain-ful of knowledge, tho.  ;D  Stay safe with those rains!

oldguy - Hope the cards were good to you.

Phyl - Sorry about your Quicken. We had a 2010 Quicken program that used a CD.  Jeff made a back-up of the Quicken on a thumb-drive, just in case anything happens. I back up the thumb-drive once a week.   This past year we bought the newest Quicken program, which I think comes with online back-up too.  I hope you can get yours all sorted out.  :-* Cute 4th figurine.

kb - So glad you are having some peace. 

karen - Oh no, on the fireworks starting already.  Glad to hear that things are going good with Piper.

E4E - Thank you!

baz - LOL, your "you were right"

Lani - Looks like a lovely evening to be sitting in your lawn chair in Green Valley Park.

clynn - I have to bring Misty up there, and let the vet look at her.  If they thing she is still too full of milk, she might have to wait a couple more weeks to get spayed.  Jeff's cousin who is saying she is adopting Raven, is in town at her Mom's house with her daughter who she is getting Raven for...wow, that was a mouthful!   ;D ;D mobile check background!

I'm waiting for the rain front to move through and rain to stop, tsk.  Stilll dripping here.  That was really a long-time downpour; at least no serious wind.

Haven't ventured out for newspaper.  No doubt soggy inside the plastic cuz my driveway is right next to street sewer, more than gets its share.  (Just made myself get my a$$ up to check instead of guess - Yep water still up to sidewalk line, couldn't even see plastic bag, no doubt paper has taken up snorkling.) 

Yeah, sprinkler won't be needed tomorrow or next couple of days!

Good for you all getting rain! I'm only accomplishing 3 things on my list because it took longer than expected (almost 2 hours) to pick 30.5 ounces of black raspberries! Now sprinkling the garden and then recondition our leather love seat. I'll put other tasks off for another day. Time to get some more rest.

After watching for the last 86 days or so we have seen this fledgling hatch, grow, thrive, and survive the challenges of everyday Eagle life to get to the point where she is now ... ready to take wing and explore beyond the confines of her nest tree. (We're not sure of the gender, its just our opinion that its a female but we could be wrong.) We have all been wondering and watching to see if she returns to the nest for some much needed feeding.
Well, the wait is over and we have good news to report. DH2 was located this morning at about 8:00 AM in the pine trees near the back of the hatchery property. We had been in Decorah all week waiting to see the fledge and, in spite being on site over 12 hours a day, missed the big event. So we have been searching ever since. This morning, at that hour, there was almost no human activity at the hatchery. At least one parent had been at the nest before we arrived and sounded a peal call for her. But she did not return to the nest and the parent eventually left. The only sounds were coming from a murder of crows in the back of the hatchery. That was a clue worth investigating. DH2 was found perched very regally in one of the pine trees there. The crows were squawking up a storm and they eventually chased her out of the tree. She flew westward, and amazingly well for a newbie. The crows seemed to give up the chase about half way to the cow pasture next door. DH2 appeared to land in the field just before a tree line near that property. She looks strong and obviously capable of moving about wherever she wants to go.

Good morning Phyll and bes,krtd!  Going for a second cuppa!  Piper had breakfast and will have to go out in a few minutes!  She was good with last nights fireworks!  BestI have had.  I had tobmedicate quite a few,  no amount of cuddling, loud tv, would help!  My male tzu, Bogey, wanted to sit in the car!   Poor things.   Sat out with Piper earlier and noticed the humidity seemed higher than yesterday, 
Weather is hotter than usual!   Thankfully no derechos!

So glad you and Piper are doing well together.  Some animals do well w/fire works. My cats just either sleep in a chair or snooze underneath a bed. No meds used.
Pats to Piper from me and Purrs from Maggie.

Good Morning Beakers

Phyl - Sorry about your Quicken. We had a 2010 Quicken program that used a CD.  Jeff made a back-up of the Quicken on a thumb-drive, just in case anything happens. I back up the thumb-drive once a week.   This past year we bought the newest Quicken program, which I think comes with online back-up too.  I hope you can get yours all sorted out.  :-* Cute 4th figurine.

You same as me. I have option for 'online backup' to a cloud. But  backup to my hard drive and copy to a CD "Quicken BackUPs'.  I work in Quicken daily and backup daily.
The problem is I know just enough to cause me grief. LOL

Happy Sunday!

ugg, terribly hot and humid but I've already done the 3 W's...walked Ollie, watering, and wilting...
I'll move the sprinklers around all morning, do some hand watering where they don't reach and call it a day.

Tig - you and me both on the hope for rain....my weather app has varied widely the last few days...from 1 1/2 inch to now about a half an inch....means we won't know until Tuesday I guess.

My two love birds red tail hawks are sitting on the water tower....

Later.

KB, those Asian Small-clawed Otter pups in your photo were born last year, and live in the aquarium near me.

Here is the article from when they received their names after a vote last summer:  :)
https://www.ncaquariums.com/newsroom-fort-fisher/posts/more-than-14k-vote-ncaff-otter-pups-now-have-names?locale=fr

Those otter pups parents surprised the Aquarium folks with a 2nd litter this past January - only 9 months after their first litter!!  ;D :-*  So now there are even more of them!  :D  Here's the update from the 2nd litter born this past January:
https://www.ncaquariums.com/habitats-ff

That surprise second litter of 3 otter pups made their public debut just a couple of months ago, this past April 18th, and they have names now, too:  :-*
https://www.ncaquariums.com/ncaff-blog/posts/gemma-kai-and-ren-make-public-debut - includes a 1-minute video of them all coming out into the public display, including the newest 3 pups, who are making their first time public debut! Cute.

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Tsk and Puff, I hope y'all haven't floated away - and I seriously hope your property is not under water! I saw all the flooding on TV today from the inches and inches and more inches of rain that fell in and all around the Chicago metro area!!

Tsk, I don't really follow NASCAR, but couldn't help noting its story today. Wow on today's Grant Park 220 NASCAR street race!  Rain-delayed start, and then shortened by 25 laps when it was called due to impending darkness. A deluge for that inaugural event, and an Aussie came and won it!!
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/7/1/23781445/nascar-chicago-race-rain

Karen, that's great that Piper has that laid back approach and the fireworks didn't upset him!

Lisa, watch out for the weather around you tomorrow, too! re-schedule that vet visit if need be... stay safe.

Good night, Beakers. Everyone in the path of the storms, please stay alert and stay safe. Peace. SED.

Puff, congratulations for rain!

Tig, what a great berry bush.

Eagles,I wish we had mid 70's weather today...  sounds like a nice bbq with your mom and sis. I hope she's feeling well.

HI EVERYONE

63 heading to 83  mostly sunny  Dew point 57

BAZI   Very interesting back story to the Asian small clawed otters.  Very prolific  LOL     Such a shame for Nascar - which I don't follow either.  BUT has been the news and in preparation for a year+ as it was the first time and all that it took to create the route etc  Traffic will now still be an issue until the breakdown and cleanup occur.

EAGLES  Long 4th weekend for everyone to find a time to celebrate  ;)

LANI   Yes I watched the series finale of Endeavor last night - Had to Google tho afterwards as I had questions about the end  LOLOL

PHYL  thanks for pics of the new BB family - Particularly like the new baby next to the parent to compare coloring

Look at all the bluebirds!!!  What a thrill Phyl  You must not be getting much done other than watching all the activities.  Enjoy!!!!  I've never had one visit me.  :(  These feather movers know how to tease us.  I did watch the shake/shake/shake house fitch visit yesterday.  He stayed quite a long time.  I haven't seen him lately and was worried about his safety.

Area rain record yesterday.  You all know how badly it was needed. Chgo record 3.35 inches.  My gauge, 5.7".  tsk I think was 6.3".   Many local areas 8+; two 9+.  Happy to report the water system worked - It didn't go on this morning!  More promised (?) on Wednesday; sever winds tomorrow, though.

Lani, Rim Country is beautiful, I think I would love to live there... I just heard on the news that Phoenix will have a high of 116 today, the Weather Channel says 111. HOT whichever! I am sure that heat spreads all over... At Becky's place in Oceanside OR the high today is 61. Maybe that is the place to be, on the coast!  Wishing Mike a safe trip to Ohio. Stay cool!

E4E, I tried the indoor grill out last night, I cooked hamburgers so Ed didn't have to go out in the heat. It was good, no smoke, it took the same time to cook as it does on the outside grill and tasted almost the same! I was surprised at how light it is, easy to clean and plenty of room for 4 burgers or steaks. There is a warming section on each side so you could grill some veggies and keep them warm. A flat pan under the grilling section with water in it catches the drips, this is why there is no smoke! I think I will be using it a lot, and it's not huge so I will be able to find a place for it!  https://www.amazon.com/Starfrit-Indoor-Smokeless-Electric-Grill/dp/B07F33TF8D  Strawberries and shortcake, your Mom is A #1 in my book!

baz, love the update on the little seals! They are so cute, and then there were 3 more! They are doing what they can to increase the population! Wow, that is a serious zoo if you have to have reservations to visit! Another bit on the 'find' from Sue!

Phyl, they must be short of help at the Geek Squad! It took that long for my pc to be fixed, thank goodness I have the laptop, I just don't use it unless I have to. Love the good morning pic! Honey is doing good, still getting me up EARLY because she is hungry, she is still eating and napping, just no energy to play with her toys...  Oh your Bluebirds! You have some good pictures! Jennifer (sis's partner) is tracking 12 Bluebird nests in Oregon, she has to visit each nest site once a week and document her observations. She uses their spotting scope so she can see more and count the little ones.

tsk, WOW, 6" of rain? Yes, that spells flooding. I saw a couple of pictures of flooded basements on the news.  Thanks so much for the news on DH2! The Millers are so dedicated to Decorah...of course they weren't going to leave until they found her! Good morning, sounds like you will have a nice no-rain day today? Is that your favorite ice cream?

Puff, happy to hear your finch let you know he was okay! You and tsk really got drenched! Hope you are feeling better each day...

Looking out my living room window, I see my love bird red tails perched, my flag delivered and placed. All that's missing is my eagles and RAIN!
Just watched a line from the North dissipate entirely as it entered the Twin Cities Heat Dome....
Sure could have shared some of that rain tsk! ;) ;)

However, this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon look more promising...even severe with large hail and winds.

Going to drop grubex in the back today and may prepare for hail meaning bring annual plants to safety etc.

Baz - thanks for the info on the otters.....they sure do move fast...watching that embedded video.

Just came back from Animal Control, and Misty still has milk, so they will not spay her today.  They said, to wait till the next spay date, and she should be dried up by then.

kb - Pretty morning pic of the fireworks.  Hope you get a lil rain.

clynn - Thanks for the Breaking News from Sue, and for the beautiful family portraits if of the Boulder Osprey. Glad to hear you burgers turned out great on the indoor grill. 

Puff and tsk - Wow, lots of rain for you all!

Phyl - Great pics of your bluebirds!  Love the 4th arrangement. 

E4E - When I was at AC this morning, I mention to the girl that Jeff's cousin was coming to adopt Raven.  She says, yes she is supposed to be here at 10am. 

baz - Will do!  We had a quick thunderstorm last night.

Sad day for me, my Mama died on July 3rd, 1959!   She was young at 53 having been born in 1906.  She would be 117 years old if still alive!  She would be shocked at hat she would see in the world today with all the intolerance and unkindness!

On a happier note, Piper went through another night of fireworks that were preceded by loud claps of thunder with no reaction!  I am very pleased with this but the house training is still a work in progress!

Pt early this  pm.
Good news on the rain.  Once remember a Downpour that resulted in serious flooding in Chicago.  Friend phoned and while we were talking I heard a Motor.  Said I,  who is the idiot cutting grass?  Said she, that is a motor boat going down the street!
Did you see Raven Lisa!  She should be adopted now!  Hugs! Just saw your post!  Yea!
Indoor grill sounds great!

I finally got some sleep last night... about 3 hours. More rest n reading today for me as it will be a scorcher for us. We did get the usual 12 drops of rain this morning. And unfortunately the pool is closed for a maintenance issue. I will need to do a quick check on the berries later.

Watching Le Tour now...

CLYNN  Boy does that grill look like a good idea. Thanks for the info.  What an interesting hobby for Jennifer.  Wonder if these are nesting boxes that have been placed by environmental groups.  In the cul du sac where we had our Door county home there was a wild flower field in the middle and a group placed bluebird houses all over our property and one was in that field - but unoccupied.  Someone would come and check.    No. Cookie dough is not my favorite but if someone served it to me I  would not turn it down   ;) ;) ;)

KB  Felt guilty posting about the rain... ???   The link "had problems loading" I will try later.

LISA  I love sunflowers  ;D   Was Misty able to get spayed?  Kisses to Raven.

tsk - let me know....later.

Twitter is where I find a lot of cute videos and have always been able to view them without signing up.

This past weekend Twitter was imho a Hot Mess as Elon changed some rules/things...supposed to be temporary...Short story I did sign up just to be able to view these funny videos and it now works for me.

I am not sure though if anyone else will be able to view.....um, er at least temporarily..

Considering whether or not to put some tomato cages around my oriental lilies...which are now in bloom but very tall...I transplanted them late last year to a sunnier spot...
The only reason to support them is because of predicted heavy rain, possible hail, and strong winds today or tomorrow...we shall see if I want to hike down to the shed and get one...it's now a "feels like 94" here with high dew point....

So decided this AM to get my rear in gear and invite Tim's bro Tom and Barb and bachelor Uncle Jim to a dog burger and polish grill tomorrow.  Off to the grocery - ( after lunch out with Barb and another friend) and put together a broccoli/slaw/ramen noodle salad and a cold corn salad.  Will do a good potatoes on the grill tomorrow.

Too hot to be outdoors again today.

KB  Says it has "trouble loading". I do not have a Twitter acct. Could just be my computer since no one else is having a problem.  Never had problem with your Twitter sends before.   I have a few oriental lilies and they are close together - they are very tall and are in a tomato cage.

Oh. Yum. I made chicken n dumplings for the first time... a meal my Mom would make often. For ease, I used a large can of savory chicken soup with wild rice and a small can of creamy chicken soup, Bisquick. Mom also used to make beef stew (made soft and yummy with a bottle of horseradish sauce) with dumplings. It was especially good when made in a cast iron pot over a campfire.

tsk, your menu sounds very good (except for the dog burgers....  :o) Broccoli salad - yum! Have never had cold corn salad, had to look that one up! It sounds good except for the feta, wonder if one could use some other cheese...I remember flooding one year at my Grandparents, it was the Bon Pas Creek that flooded, Grandpa had to use a rowboat to go check on my Grandma's Uncle and Aunt who lived in a high area close to the creek. Uncle Albert was very 'professor-like', he wrote a column for the Albion Journal titled "The Bard of the Bon Pas', about old times and other things. Well, looks like I took a side road... but if you like, here is some more information on Uncle Albert: https://www.facebook.com/bonegap/posts/the-bard-of-the-bonpas-albert-m-walton-lived-southeast-of-bone-gap-near-bonpas-c/4454045541319129/

HI EVERYONE

63 heading to 83  mostly sunny  Dew point 57

BAZI   Very interesting back story to the Asian small clawed otters.  Very prolific  LOL     Such a shame for Nascar - which I don't follow either.  BUT has been the news and in preparation for a year+ as it was the first time and all that it took to create the route etc  Traffic will now still be an issue until the breakdown and cleanup occur.

EAGLES  Long 4th weekend for everyone to find a time to celebrate  ;)

LANI   Yes I watched the series finale of Endeavor last night - Had to Google tho afterwards as I had questions about the end  LOLOL

PHYL  thanks for pics of the new BB family - Particularly like the new baby next to the parent to compare coloring

TSK, the parents of those baby asian claw-footed otters are 1 of only 12 captive breeding pairs in the world, if I recall that stat right from that article from my area aquarium. My area's aquarium is part of the int'l aquarium breeding org for them, in an attempt to save that species. It was exciting that they had a litter of 3 pups last year, and then another big exciting surprise when they had a 2nd litter of 3 pups only 9 months later! Their first litter of 3 pups (born last year) are the ones in the picture KB posted yesterday, and their 2nd litter of 3 pups were born just this past January, and made their public debut at the aquarium just a couple months ago. So the adult pair of otters here now have 6 babies they are teaching!! There was also a cute video with the one I posted, that showed them trying to learn to eat crawfish for the first time. LOL. Otters are so cute! The flooding in and around the Chicago metro area was pretty bad in places... always amazes me how many people will drive their cars right into heavily flooded streets, and then wonder why they get stranded and someone has to come and carry them out... reminds me so much of that movie, "Groundhog Day."  ::)  Hope your property and garden beds made out okay. I know the rain is needed there, but hate it came the way it did.

Lani - My mom is hangin' in there.  :)  Hope you and Mike have had a nice weekend - I know he leaves tomorrow for Ohio.  Safe travels. :)

Phyl - Yes, I know I am lucky & fortunate to have my Mom to share holidays with, and to see quite often, since she lives only 5 minutes away.  Love the bluebirds!!

Puff - So glad a bunch of you got some much needed rain!! ;D

Clynn - Thank you for posting link for the indoor grill you used last night to make some hamburgers!  It looks like a really nice unit!!    Thank you for posting for Sue Bruhling - love reading about the latest on DH2!
Love the Osprey pic at Boulder County Fairgrounds - very cute.

Kb - Nice that the flag was delivered.  Lucky you to have those Red Tails perched nearby!

LisaG - That is so wonderful that Jeff's cousin adopted Raven!  That is another kitten you will be able to keep track of! :)  Thanks for letting us know about Misty.

Karen - Hope your pt went well. :)  That is good that Piper is not bothered by the loudness of the Fireworks.
Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Mom  :-*

Tig - Glad you got some sleep last night although wish it were more than 3 hrs. ???  Yum! Chicken 'n Dumplings - did you like how it turned out?  I bet it was delish!!

Tsk - That sounds like a fun day is going to be had tomorrow!!  Fun to get together and a good meal too! ;D

Clynn - Love the pics of Karen's Piper! So cute!! :)   Amazing 'modern home'!! :o ::)    Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Grandmother tomorrow on July 4th

Baz, your informative post re the otters left me with questions.  How many of these delightful little animals will your aquarium  accommodate?  Do any babies have to be returned to a foreign land , like the Pandas?  What happens if their are too many to house there?   That is a very extensive area they are in and would look to be expensive to duplicate!
Thanks for the information.  Films were delightful!

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)



Karen, Hugs... sweet remembrance of your mother. Love the pics of Piper.  :-*  Glad she wasn't bothered by the thunder and more fireworks. I just saw your new post when I was trying to post this. LOL. I don't know the answers to all of your questions, but I found some more info about those otters at my aquarium. This breeding pair originally came to our aquarium in 2019. When their 1st litter of 3 pups were born in May, 2022, it was considered a breeding success for this species, and this pair of 1st time parents. From what I read, their pregnancies can be difficult to detect, and they often have stillbirths. And then they had a 2nd litter only nine months later, in January, 2023! They have just recently finished building an new and even larger area for them since the family expanded, and their expanded family moved into it on World Otter Day on May 31 of this year. They are part of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan® Program (SSP). The mother otter is now 1 of 13 breeding females in the U.S. for this species. Apparently, at one time, she was 1 of 16 breeding females in the U.S. I don't know why the change in that number. The aquarium has a means of email contact, so I'm sure they would be happy to send you more info if you ask them. Here are 2 more brief pages of info about them here:
https://www.ncaquariums.com/ncaff-blog/posts/world-otter-day-celebration
and:
https://www.ncaquariums.com/name-the-otter-pups#ABOUTASIANSMALLCLAWEDOTTERS (about the newest litter-with 3-day old newborn pics of them, if you scroll up to the top when you load the link to this web page of pics and info)
Additionally, there is another 2-member family of Asian claw-footed otters living at this aquarium... a mother, Asta, and her son, Ray. Asta is 15 yrs old, and she has lived beyond her species' normal life expectancy. She recently underwent surgery for a uterine mass, and has recovered amazingly well! She apparently has a really sweet and special personality, and everyone was so happy for her recent good outcome, which you can read in this summary here:
https://www.ncaquariums.com/ncaff-blog/posts/asta-senior-asian-small-clawed-otter-undergoes-procedure?locale=en



Phyl, great pics of the bluebirds and their fledglings. They're so pretty, and fun to watch.

Clynn, I saw that news from the Millers about finding a healthy looking DH2 in that pine in the back of the Hatchery area! That was sweet news!  :-* I'm just hoping DH2 will somehow get re-united with her parents! That's what I'm hoping to hear soon. I would like her to get the expected parent-led Eagle College around the Hatchery before dispersal. Thanks for posting Karen's pics of Piper. Very cool about your Uncle Albert, The Bard of Bon Pas! Yep, those baby otters (not seals, lol) are so cute! I noticed that aquarium (not zoo, well, I guess it's a type of water animals zoo, lol) requires reservations now. I see that they now operate on a timed entry system, and they do sometimes have sellouts. That's new since the last time I visited - which was before the pandemic. I wonder if that reservations requirement started with the pandemic, and they are continuing it due to staffing, and to prevent overcrowding. It's a pretty small place, all in all, and we have a massive visitor/tourist population here during the summer!  P.S. Now that I think about it, when I went to visit my friend in Atlanta recently, and we went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, we went in on timed-entry tickets. It must be to prevent overcrowding... I guess... which seemed to work out nicely.

Phyl, nice pics of BB family.! Congratulations!  ;D

Tsk, I got goose pimples when they played Inspector Morse theme as Endeavor is going out the door at the end, and his car and Inspector Morse's car pass each other in time. Awesome ending. But I was very disappointed Endeavor didn't marry Joan Thursday, though Inspector Morse never marries. It was a great Season 9! Circling everything back and then shutting it down again. I've watched all the Inspector Morse seasons... tomorrow's menu sounds delicious. I decided to rewatch Inspector Morse seasons.  ;D

Clynn, it was hot today! Shannon's temp was 117, while we were at 102. Thanks for more info on DH2 and SMB's pics... that indoor grill looks interesting.... I love baby ospreys when they flatten themselves in the nest... that's interesting about Jennifer tracking BB nests in Oregon.... Thanks for Bone Gap and your uncle's cool history .... sweet pics of Piper... {{{Your grandparents}}} ... Sears home is interesting.

Kb, "old blind dog gets a massage and a kiss " That was a sweet vid :-* .. I haven't understand any of this twitter fuss. I have Twitter but I don't have a blue check.

{{{Karen and Piper}}} Thinking of your mom.... so glad Piper isn't afraid of loud sounds.

Tig, yummy Chicken and Dumplings.

Baz, interesting about the otters.

Oldguy, thanks for links

Good night!

Phyl, thanks for all the Independence Day information! I never realized that Thomas Jefferson was so young when he authored the Declaration of Independence!

94 high today, chance of rain tonight and tomorrow morning with a high of 76.

Lani, wow, it's dang hot there, I hear there may be some very old records broken.  I hope not... Are you taking Mike to the airport today? Prayers for a safe and sound trip for both of you...  Love the cutie pie kitten peaking around the corner!

baz, thanks for the additional info from the Millers, love the pics of DH2 and the red-winged blackbird!  I have saved those to my Raptors board in Pinterest!

oldguy, so not too bad on the cards, sounds like you broke even! Love Lesley and her Blue Jays, she is truly a 'Bird Whisperer'!

GOOD MORNING

70 heading to 91  Dew point 66

KB/TIG/SSRL  See where you are in for some severe weather today. :o

KAREN  Pip is sure a cutie.  Thanks CLYNN  In those house plans - I can't read the tiny room off the dining and kitchen?  Was that a "water closet"  ?

CLYNN  Did I forget commas again  LOL  Corn salad has onion green pepper, tomato and a vinaigrette type dressing - No cheese.  "Burt"  What an amazing person!!!  How can one person do so much?   Thanks for sharing that.   $938 won't buy a refrigerator these days  ::)    " Red, White and Brew"  :)

BAZI  Looks like a successful effort to keep that claw foot otter species going.

OLDGUY  Kiffness cat   Top 10 songs - very clever.  The creator has quite an imagination.  :D

LANI   Thanks much for the 2 cars passing!!!

PHYL   So many interesting facts to read about the 4th of July and Constitution

TSK... we no longer believe in forecasts. We did get another 24 drops of rain last evening. Talons crossed we get more than 5 minutes worth today.
Some idiot set off fireworks at 6 a.m.

Anyway... Happy 4th!

Exactly....no belief in forecasts here anymore, that's for sure...

Tails show up every morning lately....come August the eagles should shoosh them off their perch..

I'm trying to ignore Ollie man's request for a walk now, which is including brief barks and stares...the dew point is currently 66....yuk, though the temp is 73....we shall see how long I can last :D

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on July 04, 2023, 08:51:39 AM

Well, my resolve didn't last very long.

Home now with Ollie on the carpeted floor and small fan aimed at him.

I cut it short by one block which means two as it's a rectangle.....close to home by almost 2 blocks he stops and acts like he will go no more....rolls in someone's cool green grass and my thermos is empty...we managed to make it back home...only mid 70's but the dew point is bad...I told you Ollie! ;) ;)

I'm so grateful for those few homeowners who bother to water their lawns and have green grass for Ollie man's toes and body...wish I'd see the owners outside as I'd thank them for Ollie's sake.

{{{Karen and Piper}}}

Eagles, Have a fun 4th and safe travels  ;D

Phyl, many interesting and informative docs on Independence Day and the Constitution. We always watch the series "John Adams"

Clynn, Mike drove his car to Sky Harbor in Phoenix and will leave it there. He just called and is ready to board. I'm so glad his flight didn't cancel, like other flights have this holiday... Are the kids coming over.

Tsk, you didn't catch the car scene. When Endeavor looks in the rear view mirror at the passing red jag and Inspector Morse looks in the rear view mirror at the back of the black car, both men with their piercing blue eyes glancing at the other, the past and the future flying by. Awesome ending. Great writing for Season 9!

Kb, cool morning pic of the tails "RTH or young AE juvies?" .. we finished our morning walk an hour ago. It was starting to warm up. It was 64 when we started and 75 when we returned home. It's 83 now. UGH! Take care on your walk.

Great news! Aly's furniture arrived late yesterday. 2 men helped carry things in, less than 75 steps to her door and no stairs. So there was no extra cost.   ::)
Only one antique table top was broken from legs, that happened here before they left. Supposedly it was repaired before they left, but it wasn't. It's Mike's grandfather's antique table
with lion's feet. Aly will get it repaired and put a claim on that. Other than that, everything arrived. It's done, it's over!!! Thank you God!  :-*

Shannon and her dog Kona is coming for dinner tonight.
They'll stay downstairs on the lower level, Kona will have the dog run and patio.
Sadie and Kona do not like each other.
it will be nice to have them here.

Beakers, Have a lovely and safe 4th!!!

EAGLES  Enjoy the day.  Drive carefully.

LANI  to be very honest - I've been in and out of this series.  I did watch the special they had tho recapping the series.  AMEN to that move!!  I sure hope they were respectful and didn't waggle out an extra fee.  Enjoy your 4th with Shannon and Kona  ;D

tsk, I looked up a corn salad recipe, the one I looked at had feta cheese. Yours sounds better!  I have a recipe that I got from someone called Cowboy Salsa, but I use it as a side salad. It has shoepeg corn, onion, tomato, black beans, blackeye peas, green/red/yellow peppers and a jalapeno pepper. Mixed with Wishbone Zesty Italian dressing. So good! That house plan I posted, there is one bathroom (none upstairs) for all. It is just below the kitchen in the picture.

Hooray for some rain in the Minneapolis area!

 ;D I am with you on the forecast.  I was looking forwards to a nice thunderboomer, nothing! 

tsk - I had to giggle at your comment about, "I tried dumplings once  LOL  Will not say more".
I have never been a good dumpling maker, but I sure like to eat them!

clynn - Love that morning coffee greeting for the 4th!  Thanks for posting the pics of karen's Piper, so cute!  $1.00 for home plans..that's a bargain! I love the front porch.  Munchkins look cute in their patriotic shirts!

kb - Hmm, I do have a Twitter account, will check to see if I am still logged in on my phone.  Love the peacock. Great pics of your RT hawks!

baz - Thank you!  :-*  Thanks for the tunes, RRP post on DH2, and the fledgling fundraiser tomorrow! 

E4E - We are happy that all got adopted.   :) 

oldguy - Thanks for the Twitter info!  We were supposed to have some really bad weather last night, but I think it missed us once again.

Phyl - Yep, Misty got a hard pass on the snip-snip.   They said, maybe a couple more weeks for her.  Love your lighted plant last night.  Nice 4th greeting, and thanks for the info on Independence Day.

Lani - I know you were worried about my lil black kitties.  :-*  Oh my, you all had some very warm temps!  So glad to hear that Aly's furniture arrived, and that it was no extra cost! Enjoy your dinner with Shannon.

karen - They kitties at Bradley's seem to be getting along ok.  They did change Lizzie's name to Ziva.  Ziva is one of Kelly's favorite characters from NCIS.

The name has been picked out, and I am sure some people know, like maybe Kelly's family & friends. But, whenever I am around and someone asks, she says, it's a secret and I catch a look from her looking at me.  Oh well  ::)

My hubby and I spotted this while taking a back route into Nashville back in 2017. The guy that lives in the house hand carves these with a chisle and hammer. Only using a chainsaw for initial cuts.

Jim worked today-off at 3pm. But, he's doing grocery shoppiing for me.
 Tomorrow he's off at 11am . And, some yard work prob---I hope. Got many willow tree limbs blown down  from last week's storm that need clearing and trimming bushes and weeding.


Lisa   Happy to hear that Stewie and Lizzie are 'okay' with each other. However,   I'm kind of confused on "Lizzie's' name . Which is it ? I did some background on 'Ziva"  on NCIS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziva_David (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziva_David)   Lizzie 's a sweet little namesake for one tough  Israeli gal  . The character's resume "   NCIS Special Agent and Mossad Liaison Officer was Mossad operative, control officer former  Soldier in the Israeli Army.'

KB Ollie  :(

E4E thanks sure hope y'all drive safely and have fun; Appreciate yourIndependance Day greeting with Old Glory

Lani grat news for Aly. Now it's all over---hopefully. Have fun w/ Shannon and Kona.  'Inspector Morse' was written by Colin Dexter the original Brit series ran from 1987 to 2000. It' s one of our faves. Watch ever episode from the begining to end and have the DVDs. Have also watched 'Endeavor' on PBS nice back story for 'Morse'
 .Appreciate your Independance Day flag.  Most Americans don't realize how truly sacred she is and the love and respect that's often not afforded to her.

Tig/Kb Happy day---y'all got your rain.  ;)

CLynn  luv the squirrel and cute bee's butt;  Munchkins look so happy. That' the same hand gesture that Tyrus on FNC waves to the 'Gutfeld' audiance after
Greg's monolog.  I can't keep up with them myself.

Lisa glad the storm has passed you.   Are baby names settled upon?   
 We're gonna put the burgers on the grill here in a bit as the sky's gone grey. Soooo

Well...the rain has come, down and down. Jim has the Sunsetter awning extended and well cook in the rain.
Having my July 4th twizzle burgers on traditional buns with traditional condiments---homemade hamberger relish/yellow mustard and
melted American cheese; Southern potatoe salad; egg salad stuffed celery; a brew each. Homemade Toll house cookies with Red, white and
blue M & Ms. Gonna watch 'The Patriot' with Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger. Then 'Independance Day' w/ Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jef Goldblum.

Waving to All the Beakers!  Happy 4th!  :)

Lisa, the baby's name is secret! I hope your DIL is still feeling great. Your summer is getting more exciting by the day!  :)

Lani, whew! Signed, sealed, delivered! Finally!!  Have a good visit with Shannon. Glad Mike's flight wasn't canceled.

E4E, have a good trip!

Karen, glad you and Piper got some outdoor time. Hope she puts 2 and 2 together soon on that outdoor business.  ;)  I'm sure she will with time.

Oldguy, hope it was fun, no matter how the cards were dealt.

Phyl, burgers sound yummy.

Tsk, that cold corn salad is a perfect light dish for a hot day.

Clynn, pollen-dusted bee butts sleeping in flowers are pretty cute. Love the Rolling Stones hot lips patriotic shirts Grandma got for the Munchkins. They're dressed like twins today! Great picture!  I haven't had that Cowboy Salsa in a long time. I can taste it from here. We used to call it Texas Caviar.


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Lani, sweet good night picture... I hope Mike had a safe and uneventful trip to Ohio, when does he come home? I imagine you and Sadie are getting ready for your morning walk right now! Did you have a good visit with Shannon? I wish that Sadie and Kona got along but it is what it is ...

baz, I have looked up several Texas Caviar recipes, you aren't the first person who said they called this recipe by that name. But I haven't ever found one that is exactly the same! I got a print of the recipe when we had a salsa contest at work, this one didn't look like all the others, so I tasted it and loved it!

Phyl, you have had a lot of rain! And tsk too! Looks like we may get some today. High of 77 today, nice change from 94 yesterday! Looks like a bit cooler for the next week! Of course it will be hotter than hades when Kelsey and I are at Mom's this month! Always is! We are leaving 7/15 and returning 7/23. Thanks for the NG article on the Unique Species we have here!  I had to sign up to receive articles, but that's fine...  I loved Cote De Pablo's character Ziva in NCIS! I was surprised to learn that she is from Chile! Excellent picture of the Black Eagle Mom & Little one! And Anthony!

Lisa, we are all so happy that all the sweet kitties have good homes, I feel that if you ever found that wasn't the case you would go snatch that baby back!  I know you have to be careful about revealing the baby's name, they would surely know who spilled the beans!

tsk, Tim sounds like Ed, he wouldn't even try the Cowboy Salsa, he doesn't care for the beans or the peppers!

76 heading to 92.  Dew point 72  :P

PHYL  Beautiful eagle sculpture.  You had a very patriotic 4th of July  ;D

Phyl, thanks for the nest news/views!

Piper got me up at 5 am!   Took her out and I came back in and checked the weather,  humidity a whopping 93 percent!   Slight chance of rain around noon?     Temps similar to tsk.  Perhaps a tad higher and no cooldown in sight.

tsk - I don't know the baby's name.  They are keeping a secret, even from me.  ::)

Phyl - Love that eagle carving!  I hope you got to grill your burgers.  We had a quick rain after noon, and Jeff went out to grill our country ribs.  I made some potato salad.  Lizzie's new name is Ziva. 

baz - Kelly has been feeling good, but it's getting to where she is finding it uncomfortable to sleep.  Yea, the baby name is a secret.  I don't get what the big deal is...  ::)

Lani - Like the meaning of Ziva, thanks for looking it up. Beautiful good night pic. 

clynn - LOL, you got that right on the kitties!  I wish I knew baby's name to spill it  ;D  Wow, that is some piano!

Ugg...I need 20 feet of my sewer line replaced...waiting on calls/ etc..throughout the day. Had a routine maintenance clean out scheduled earlier and the guy caught the broken tile and cracking ....

Till replaced no tp down the toilets arg...otherwise water usage is fine.

will also need to tear up scott's concrete floor in his shop as pipe is under it and also some of my concrete stairs heading back up the hill on the way to the street..

They will replace the concrete but it sounds like a pretty big job and a mess...

My neighbor's returned today....

My peacetime is over!...

Seal Island Puffins - Before the cams went down, you all might have had a chance to observe the puffin party/palooza/prom on the Boulder Berm feed. Puffins actually prefer to feed and forage in this overcast weather, as they expend less energy in cooler climes. I myself went on a puffin watching cruise just yesterday (which, if you're ever in Maine, I highly recommend doing! There are Audubon naturalists on-board to guide guests through the sightseeing experience. You can find out more info here: https://www.boothbayboattri... and was delighted to see TONS of puffins! (And black guillemots, and storm petrels, and cormorants, and a murre, and...well, you get the idea).

Duryea, as many of you know, suffered a pretty scary attack last week when a presumed juvenile puffin discovered the burrow and laid into little Dur. This is common behavior in adult seabirds- they often go after chicks that aren't their own, for unknown reasons. (Chickens do this, too, by the way.)
Rest assured, Duryea was swiftly rescued by Willie or Millie. But in the ensuing brawl, the camera was shifted. It will be re-positioned once the colony dries up enough for the researchers to make their way out there.

Send some sun our way!
-Celeste <3

KB  A house is just one problem after another.  I remember 1 home we had also had cracked line from house to street - Of course not covered by city cuz on private property.

LANI  thanks for Celeste's Puffing report  Poor little Duryea - how scary that must have been.  Happy ending.    LOVED splish splash   ;D ;D  what fun.

Post by: kbshcb on July 05, 2023, 03:15:17 PM

tsk -- I've paid for insurance to cover my main line to the street for years, other than my deductible.
Prayers the claims rep. doesn't try to finagle out of it somehow.
Guy who was supposed to call today to set up an appt for an estimate has not yet.

My city has known since the early 50's they erroneously placed lines with a dip/pool/J out the first 15 feet from the drain in the basement but will never acknowledge it..3 different companies have told me so. Hence, I have paid for maintenance on it (auger it) for 2 decades....this time it's finally cracked just outside the dip.
ceramic tile...was going to go eventually.

It will be a big mess though as so much outside concrete will need to be broken and repaired.Can't imagine not being able to flush for more than a day, frankly.

Another 25 ounces or so of berries today. And I did some more weeding where we removed the garlic chive plants. I found some very long roots! I need to be careful tho', as there are tulip bulbs nearby.

I haz a sad. Camper took my bicycle to be donated today. I've not been able to ride for several years but it still hurt to see it go. He said an older lady was eyeing it. I hope it goes to a good home. We donated to a non-profit youth employment program... and even my old helmet may be sent to Africa for donation.

At least the weather was ok today. Still too warm for me, but...

CLynn  I'm sorry you had to subscribe to Nat Geo Digial in order to read the article. I really thought thast if I Tweeted the article(which Nat Geo has Twitter 'icon' on their stie for that purpose) folks could look at these awesome articles. Which aren't even in the magazine.  But, now you'll get them like I do which will be 'cool' and I think some of them the Munchkins would find inteesting.    Awesome Griffen piano!  Midwest nice is just politeness for a number of reasons.

Tsk sure would luv one of your icecream pies from today.  ;)  Glad you got the needed rain.  We watch "The Patriot' twice a year to keep 'the why' fresh.


Karen
Piper gets you and out at 5am---is it worth it? Or a false alarm?  :(

Lisa pretty peonies and latte.  Well, I think 'Ziva' is a pretty name. Giving the character's history on NCIS pretty cool.  :-*  I wonder why Bradley and Kelly aren't saying  to you/Jeff what your grand daughter's name will be? Maybe they think you both won't like it?   ::)

Thanks Lani for Puffin Report, cute video---Chimps giving bath and then to each other.   Happy ending for little Duryea . ;)


KB lots of headaches in Life---houses are just one of them. Wishing you all the best.  Keep us posted

Please bear with me as I do a little catch up as we went out of town for the 4th.

Karen - Sounds like you & Piper fared well over the 4th festivities. :)   Ugg! Piper got you up at 5 this morning! ???

Tig & Kb - Yaaay!  So happy for the rain you got!

Tsk - Hope Lulu was fine during the 4th and that you & Tim had a nice time having Tom & Barb & an Uncle over for a meal!

Clynn - Oh my gosh - those are the cutest outfits that Talon & Bella have on for the 4th!!  Hmmm - yep I know which Grandma got them the Rolling Stone shirts! Lol!

LisaG - Nice that the kitties are getting along at Bradley's. :)   I always love hearing about updates on any of the kitties that you care to share. :-* :)

Phyl - I love the pic you & Jim took while in Nashville in 2017 - very nice!   Beautiful pic at the Black Eagles of Roodekrans.

Bazi - Hope you had a great 4th too!

Tig - Awe - your bicycle - hope someone will take it home and take care of it and cherish and enjoy. {{Tig}}

Puff - Glad you are getting rain, but hopefully not too much for your area!

Good Evening Beakers

We got robbed - forecast was 1/2 inch of rain today and high of 78 - as the rain approached it dried up and then redeveloped across the Mississippi River  ::)
hig of 83 with a dew point of 73...

KB - glad you have insurance, but your poor yard  :'( - hoping for a quick and clean operation.

TSK and Puff - it looks like a managable 1-3 inches for most of the Metro area today.  You can save on the water for another week or two... ;)

Lani, you mentioned a willow tree, i remember a willow behind Grandma and Grandpa's house back in the day, one time Grandpa snapped a switch to get after us (I am sure we were misbehaving...)  They built a house in 1960, right behind the old house and the willow tree had to go... Beautiful sunset!

oldguy, the same thing happened here, with the rain yesterday! We got a few sprinkles! Gosh, the Beatles are old! They were so very young in the 60's, Paul is 81, George would have been 80 this year and John 83. Their first American hit was 1964 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. I remember it well, I was almost a teenager then and was smitten!

baz, is your tennis hunk playing?  Love the snow covered trees!

Phyl, I don't mind subscribing to NG at all!  Lots of interesting stuff in there!

tsk, did you get blasted again with rain? It sure looked like it on the radar! Our ground is still damp from the good rain we got over the weekend.

Lisa, how are Bandit and Misty getting along? Are they cuddling yet?  Harley and Honey don't cuddle at all, never did except for a couple of times when they were still kittens.

kb, ugh, makes me want to get insurance for that, heck, there is insurance for everything now days! Still a mess though.

tig, good donation, someone will get joy out of your bike!

HI EVERYONE

69  heading to 78 with 68 dew point - Mostly cloudy

0.5" in the gauge this AM after the late afternoon storms yesterday.  Most went south with those getting 2.0 to 2.5" of rain  :o

PHYL  Every time I have a computer problem it is an apocalypse to me  LOL

BAZI  Good comment about the trees in winter.  Serena out early  :( :(

OLDGUY   Ringo is looking pretty good these days.  Bellamy is quite a ham  LOL

CLYNN  Do remember outdoor movies  Still one up in door County   ;) ;)

Currently   79F ptly sunny  with  High 92F sunny, Low 72F  clear.

Lani can't believe I missed  Mike's trip---safe return for Mike

OG    almost had me going with the 'we got robbed'. LOL   Too bad you got shortchanged on the rain forecast. Ringo  looks pretty good for an 'old man'.  My brothers, Larry and Dan had told me they were old men disguised as young kids up stage dancing and singing.

Tsk cute ice cream cone this AM; fixed my self this time--Talons crossed  ;)

CLynn  my family saw many movies at the drive-in, usually in Indio or Palm Spgs.  Tks for Dunrovin nest update-looks good there.

Bazi is 'your boyfriend' playing at in Wimbalton? Pretty snow covered trees---come August those trees will be 'cool and refeshing'.

Phyl - I am not sure what it is with the baby name being such a big secret.  I wanted to get something made with baby's name on it....can't do that!  ::)  Thanks for cam pics. 

E4E - Hope you had a nice time on your time away for the 4th.

baz - You've been watching Wimbledon...I have been watching Christmas in July on Hallmark.  Love it!  :D

oldguy - Sorry about you getting robbed of the rain.  Wow, Ringo 83!  Thanks for videos. 

Lani - Glad to hear that you and Shannon had a nice visit.  Safe travels for Mike.  Pretty good night pic.

clynn - Misty and Bandit do seem to be getting along.  Bandit is a grumpy ole man, so he can get snippy when she whines, but in the next breath he is licking her head.  ;D

tsk - Glad you didn't get much from that weather.  It looked like a bad one on radar when I had checked.

Good Morning!  83 going to 96!  Had a severe thunderstorm warning yesterday evening that produced oneshort wind gust, a lot of sound effects, dark skies and no rain!
Clynn, no munchkins yesterday?   Love Willow trees but they can be messy As are many lovely trees!
Dated aboy in High School who worked at a drive in movie theater.  He would take me there at least once a week, park the car, set up the speaker and go to work, doing what ever it was he did!  He would check on me several times a night!  When the movie ended he would take me home,  i saw all new movies that summer.  I still hear from him! Fun.

Morning all.

Such a beautiful cool morning here..just reached 71 with a few cumulonimbus clouds around and blue sky.

Walked Ollie early with a sweater on as it was only 67....lots of dog walkers out there this morning.

Took advantage of the cooler weather to clean ends of gutters out I could reach on a ladder, not all, weeded, and sprayed for wasp nests under rails of deck and one high up under a soffit...got one nest emptied and down....good, as I need to grill steak out there today.

This is a cute twitter video: I know only some will be able to watch: A cow (bull) lays his head on his owner who is playing a mean guitar riff of Jon Bonjovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" song...cow looked to fall asleep!

Still waiting for sewer plumber to call to set up an appointment for an estimate...I'll call them back if it doesn't happen before mid afternoon.

KAREN   That storm you had was a lot like ours - Wind, thunder , lightening but essentially no rain except south of here.   Love your drive-in story  ;D ;D  I was doing the math as well on the Beatles -  just 5-7 yrs older than I  :o

KB  So glad you finally had a cool AM to go for an Ollie walk.

I think this happens once a year but the grocery had a sale on 10 to a box of mangos for $2.29 - unheard of here. I got in on it last year too.
 I've been pealing mangos for 40 minutes  LOLOL  But worth it to me.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on July 06, 2023, 01:29:58 PM

Lisa - thanks...I ended up calling them...this is the deal: Iner schedules his own appointments. My message is still sitting on his desk....He left this morning at 7am...and hasn't answered any of his messages.

He's the real deal....an older gentleman of Scottish?...UK/Scandinavian decent?..I met him 2 years ago.

They are the most cost effective company around, and they work out of my city with a fabulous reputation.

I will have to wait for a call back on his time....these projects often take 2 days minimum....he's busy.

Just waiting for him to come camera my break/estimate cost so I can then submit to my insurance company for review, and then schedule the day/days....for repair.

i will need to be patient...

Karen, Love your Drive-in story, fun memory  ;D

Lisa,  maybe your DIL is superstitious like some in my family or cultures.  :) ... Have you heard from any of the kitties families? ...  Bandit and Misty  ;D

Phyl, nice to see Anthony... beautiful Black Eagles family.

Haven't seen a Jap beetle yet on my roses....did do neem oil and grubex on the lawns.....I'll keep my eye's open.

TRR - Sloth TV

NEW ARRIVALS:
Barbie, 2F Sloth: She was found all by herself. She is still very young, so we will keep her monitored.

Sloth Preschool Updates:
Antonio, 2F Sloth: He's been gaining weight fast. He will be graduating soon!
Roo, 2F Sloth: She's very active and has a great appetite.
Robin, 3F Sloth: He has a great appetite and eats many leaves. His mobility has slightly improved. Remember, you can support him by donating to his CUDDLY campaign!
Gonzo, 2F Sloth: Has a good appetite, currently with a diet of milk and leaves.

GRADUATION NOTICE:
Coco, 2F Sloth: She's graduated and is now hanging out with Pax, Liana, Landon, and Noodle at the Sloth House!

In Loving Memory  :'(
Geo, 2F Sloths: We are very sad to announce that Geo has passed away. He had a unique syndrome called Malabsorption Syndrome. This digestive disorder prevented Geo from absorbing nutrients and inhibited him from developing and growing. This explains why he was not increasing in size despite having an appetite.
Jeannie, 3F Sloth: She sadly passed away due to severe anemia and blood clots in her heart and liver.

Robin practices his climbing  ;D  8)  :-*

LISA  If you buy mangos singly they are about $1.50 so I don't usually buy them.

KB   You said it -gotta have "patience".   Then there will be the lawn and concrete repair once done.  Then it will be Xmas  LOLOL

LANI   Love the kitten hammock dozing. ;D  Too bad about the Twitter thing.  Seems to be affecting a lot of folks.   I just can't get over the wind on that side of the hill.  :o  Good for Manaaki tho.    Sloths can be affected by so many illnesses - Sad.  Thanks for the progress report.

Hello Beakers! I forgot to mention that I was having the Munchkins today instead of yesterday! We went to the park and did our school assignments before computer time. Actually, Bella and I spent a good bit of time out in the yard it was a very nice, cooler day. They both wanted to have their lunch on the deck! Bella was giving her little doll a ride in the swing at the park in case you wondered what the little purple thing in the swing was...  ;D

Lani, love the pic of the cat in the hammock!  Manaaki is looking good!

tsk, do you just eat the mangoes, or do you make something with them? I love it when I run into a once in a year deal at the grocery store! Did you get more rain today? It's been in the mid/low 70s today, just perfect!  It's supposed to be 70 tomorrow with rain.

karen, I think most trees have some kind of a mess! I have a maple, an oak, a crabapple and 2 pines and they all give me gifts of some kind every year! The only one that didn't was the ash tree that ended up dying and having to be cut down!  How is Piper doing?

Lisa, awww, Bandit loves Misty and he is just trying to tell her to calm down!

Phyl, that baby Black Eagle is the purest white isn't he!

Good Morning Beakers!

baz, is your tennis hunk playing?  Love the snow covered trees!

Clynn, no, my hunky boyfriend  ;) - Rafa Nadal  :-* - isn't playing.  :(  Earlier this year, he announced he would be retiring next year (2024). At that same time, he said he wouldn't be playing in the French Open this year due to a hip injury. Then, during the French Open (which was last month), he had hip surgery, and said he would be out for the remainder of this year to rehab from that. Apparently, he had a specialized type of hip surgery, called keyhole surgery, and due its complexity, he flew a surgeon from Colorado to Spain to do that surgery. It was considered a successful surgery, but at least 5 months of rehab are expected to recover. Lots of fingers are crossed that he will be able to recover well enough to play a final year next year prior to his retirement. I sure do miss seeing him play! ... and just seeing him!  ;) ;D :-*

BAZI  Good comment about the trees in winter.  Serena out early  :( :(

TSK, I think you mean Venus? Serena retired last year after the U.S. Open. Venus is 43! I love that she is still playing some, but, yep, she lost her 1st round singles match.  She usually plays doubles, too, but I haven't looked to see if she is playing doubles at Wimbledon this year. She fell during her singles match, and it looked like she may have hurt her knee, even though she finished the match. So that might change any plans she may have had to play doubles in this tourney. Also, she has Sjogren's, and so of course that affects her playing schedule at times, too.

TSK, LOL! I see you caught yourself.  ;) :D  Easy mix-up - Serena was always "the talk" at tourney time till her retirement.  ;)

Phyl, nope, my boyfriend  ;) :-*  is not playing at Wimbledon this year. He had a hip injury earlier this year, and then hip surgery, and is out for the rest of the year. He hopes to play next year, and plans to retire in 2024, also. I hope he will be able to play again before his retirement, but that's a wait-and-see at this point. I hope he will be able to!

Tig, hope your med injection starts helping soon. The lady in the house across the street from where I grew up used to pay us kids a penny per Japanese beetle that we picked off her plants. She would give us jars to put them in. Seemed like a great deal to us! Afterward, we would ride our bikes to the nearby little strip shopping center and buy penny candy at the drug store. Sweet! LOL.

Bazi - Enjoy Wimbleton!

Lani - Yes, we had a nice 4th - thank you.   Hope you did too, even tho Mike had to leave that day.

Clynn - It is kind of unusual that Harley and Honey don't cuddle, but then, I guess all kitties have their own likes/dislikes!  I remember my parents taking us to the outdoor movie theatre a few times - such fun & great memories!!

LisaG - Yes, had a nice time away for the 4th  :)   Glad that Bandit and Misty are getting along - maybe as time goes on, they might even form a stronger bond, but if not, that's okay too! ;)

Kb - Bet Ollie always enjoys his morning walk with you!

Lani - Good that you and Sadie get out early for your walks too (like Kb & Ollie)  :)

Tig - Oh no - those beetles - hope you find a way to rid of them.

Hi Tsk  :)

Clynn - Cute pics of the Munchkins - glad you mention that is her little doll in the swing! Lol  ;D

Beakers have a good night and sleep well.  :)

Lani, cute owl, tight fit but perfect nesting tree! Would like to see how she gets in/out! Yes, we are all aging, gracefully I hope! Looks like you have a very warm forecast for the next several days...dang!  I don't remember pizza when I was a kid...did we have pizza back then? We always ate before we went to the drive-in and Mom took snacks for us. She was and still is very frugal... ;D

Phyl, looks like Anthony is checking the cactus out, and then in the nest waiting for a possible food drop! High 74 today, supposed to start raining around noon.

baz, my Uncle Jack had a 5 acre field close to the house. He had soybeans planted and offered Cathy and I 25 cents for each thistle we dug up from that bean field. I can't remember how many we had but we emptied the wagon more than once! He paid us, we thought we were rich!

Phyl - Thanks for RRP post.  Great cam pics.  Temps are hot for you today.  We are suppose to have a high of 87.

Lani - Love your winking owl.  Thanks for the TRR and Royal update!  I hear from jaspurr just about every other day.  She lets me know how her and those mischievous kittens are getting along.  :)  I am not Facebook friends with Jeff's cousin's daughter who has Raven, but he is as well as the friend who adopted Angus now George.  He has seen pics of both, and they are getting along great too.  Of course I ask Bradley about Lizzie now Ziva, how are Stewie and Ziva getting along.  I wish I knew how the others were.

Morning all...

Lisa - good to hear all the kitties, or those you've heard from, are doing well...

Watering front and back this am...mowed the front and dropped fertilizer....I ran out for the back yard so on order for next week.....it's a kind of fertilizer that doesn't burn so I don't need rain or to water it in...
Everything just needs watering again....1/2 inch won't cut it for the summer when we need 4 inches a month..

No call back yet...starting to think maybe next week?....We have showered, done laundry, flush toilets and all....just no tp or anything other than water down the line is okay.
I assume that those that can't even do that will take a priority over me...
Still makes me nervous a titch as I saw the tile inside the pipe that looked like a brick and the cracking of the pipe....a total collapse could be imminent...

Given we have a titch cooler air temps I'm spending as much time outside getting things done as I can.

Hope you feel better tig, and or you have a solution up your sleeve.

Tsk, sorry about your post.... I'm hungry for a mango now. LOL! I have to buy a couple of mangos in spite of the high cost here.

Clynn, I didn't realize you were talking about children's memory. We didn't have movie drive-ins here in Hawaii, when I was a child. We didn't even have a car, and wouldn't be able to afford to go out at night if we did..... In the 70's Mike and I went to the Salina Drive-in and I had pizza. I thought it was the best.... love the pic of the melons on the truck...  I'm cutting up a watermelon for Mike to enjoy when he gets home tomorrow.

Phyl, I like to think the young GSB siblings have moved around the corner. They are safe, hiding in the bluffs hidey holes at night.... Anthony looks great! ... Thanks for RRP blog, they're getting ready for the best celebration of the year! I'm looking forward to the pics. ;D 8)

Baz, do you have bbc?   I cannot get it on the stations I have although I think I got it in the past!
Clynn good pictures of the kids!  Love the garden! I have wild black berries in my yard and thrive in bushes!  I cannot get the yard man to understand that they need to be pulled before they kill all the bushes.  Hard to get the roots.  The berries are good food for the birds.
Tsk, glad you like Mangos.  Some how they and papayas taste like turpentine to me.  Lol, all in what you are used to eating.  Great price though.
Lisa, good news on the kitties so far.  Wish you would hear from the others! 
Have a good tgif day and bravo to all the old musicians!

July 7, 2023: DH2 on the Y-Branch!
https://youtu.be/qSGcZ5ecckU via RRP
Who's that eagle on the Y-Branch? It's DH2! As one of our chat mods noted, DH2 appears to be saving us work with a little tree trimming this morning. It's wonderful to see our eaglet back on the nest tree and in the nest!

Hi Lori, this is great and especially DH2!  :-*

I hope Murphy gets to do more parenting in the future, and not just parenting rocks, LOL! - he is obviously wired to be great at parenting! Fly high and safe, Rocky! Hugs to Murphy, too.  :-* :-*

Happy Day, Beakers!  :D


Lisa and Lori, thanks for the pics and update on DH2 being on the Y and the nest again today! I sure would like to see DH2 chasing HD to the nest, squeeing all the while, as HD makes a fish delivery to N1! But I am happy to know DH2 is clearly eating and having lots of good flights and interactions all about the area there.  :-*

Lisa, I didn't see your prompt to TSK regarding the Serena/Venus mention. I must've not read very closely. You mentioned kittens in the plural when you said Jaspurr sent you updates often. Did she adopt another kitten at AC when she adopted one of Misty's kittens? Or maybe she already had a kitten when she adopted Misty's kitten at AC? Are you on the road to ATF soon? Safe travels, and have a great time!

Karen, that's great that Piper is having lots of successes in the housebreaking department! Yay! Were you asking if I had BBC in regards to watching Wimbledon? ESPN is broadcasting it. Do you have ESPN? Or were you asking me about BBC for a different reason?

Clynn, the Munchkins had a great time at the park! Loved all the pics!  :D :-* :-*  I remember the firstpizza our family had - I was either in junior high, or high school - not sure which, and it was in the summer. A Pizza Hut had opened in our town, and so we convinced our parents to let us get one to bring home so all of us could try it. We liked it, but I remember my mother saying that it sure was expensive for how much you got. LOL!  Needless to say, it was a long time till we had takeout pizza at home again. But ChefBoyarDee (sp?) make-your-own pizza kits were a staple in the kitchen cabinet. We would toss the dough for fun when we made them late at night after mom and dad were in bed, and more than one of those crusts had to be unstuck from the kitchen ceiling. Shh! Don't make noise getting that step ladder out!  ;D ;D  ;D

TSK, ugh on losing your post! This article has a pretty good description of Nadal's hip surgery. Yes, it was arthroscopic, but pretty involved, nonetheless, apparently, since it took 3 surgeons, and 1 of them was flown to Barcelona from Colorado to perform it. There are a lot of embedded ads in this article, but it was interesting enough to me to read and scroll through the whole thing - a good overall summary of his situation after the surgery was complete:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamzagoria/2023/06/03/rafael-nadals-hip-surgery-went-well-faces-5-month-recovery/?sh=6b34cb8f7552 -
"Rafael Nadal's Hip Surgery 'Went Well,' And He Now Faces A Five Month Recovery"

I'm off to the grocery store...

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

CLynn luved pencil skirts when revived in the '80's. Had a kaki one that buttoned up the side from below the knee to 3" above. I wore the business classic red blouse with it and navy pumps .  Anthony has yet to 'fend' for himself. If I were his mama...

TsK   Shucks! about your post .

{{{Lisa}}} thanks temps will be 'oppressive' come August. Some good news on the kitties in new homes. Glad Jaspurr is keeping you up to date with Piper/Daisy
Glad Bandit/ Misty are getting on. 

{{{Tig}}} hoping for some good news 4 you---'key hole' or arthroscopy  is what I had done to both knees 7yrs ago to 'clean' out the torn meneicus  (R)and arthritis (R and L). Left two tiny scars in shape of  'stars' on either side of the knee cap.

E4E  cute AM this morning;  sure hope your mama's doc visit went well

Kb did know that about how  beavers carry their kits. Such cute video tks

Lani  tks for update on Puffin Dad Willie and Duryea

Karen hurrah! Progress for your Piper. Maybe she feels safer outside with you there?.  I doubt if I could get into that pencil skirt from the 80s---it was a size 4. I'm
a size 8 now.   :(

Lori  tks for the 'gif' of  DH2 ---all the eaglelets are looking great this season.

Phyl, love the Tommy the Cat story so far, very cute! Be sure to post Part 2! That Maine Coon looks like a member of the Cat Mafia!  Thanks for the Science article on the little penguins, I always marvel at how they can figure out these things from 59 million years ago...  54 here right now, 79 high today. Yesterday was cool and lovely!

Lani, oh those sweet cuddly good night cats!  Mike will be home today, hope he gets out of that heat fast... Of course you are hot too, but looks like about 10 or so degrees cooler than the Valley! That is something... Love the pics of Willie and Duryea. Cool cat with shades driving the car!

kb, thanks for the wonderful news on Rocky!

Lori, wonderful video of DH2 on the Y! Hoping that next year there will be 2 or 3 on those branches!

Lisa, you are going to have such fun at the ATF!  Kelsey and I are leaving the 15 for our visit with Mom, it won't be near as exciting as your trip! And when you get home it will be closer to baby time!

Wild Heart Ranch - Good Morning Everyone!!!! Some of our beautiful fawns ready for the weekend. Just kidding they don't care what day it is. 😂 -Greg

May you always have a full crop.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your Beautiful Face.
May the rains fall soft upon you always, as you live your life
and one day have a mate, a nest and Bobbleheads of your own...
Thank you! World Bird Sanctuary for giving Rocky a second chance of life and Dad Murphy's experience of being a Dad ❤

World Bird Sanctuary
A huge thank you to everyone who attended 23-126's release, tuned into the live stream of the release, or supported our mission throughout the past months. This incredible saga started on 3/8 with Murphy going viral for incubating his rock. On 4/1, the real journey began when 23-126 arrived at our hospital, battered from the storm that destroyed his nest and killed his sibling. On 4/6, Murphy and 23-126 were introduced to each other and a beautiful story began to unfold that has captured the hearts of people around the world.
Today that story came to an end as 23-126 was released back to the wild where he belongs! People from across the globe tuned in to watch the live stream of 23-126's release. Thanks to Murphy, fellow rehab patients 23-208 and 23-305, and an incredible team of staff, volunteers, and supporters, 23-126 is as prepared as possible for his life in the wild.

Sunny w/some clougs / high of 68 today

Doing a little catch up here as I didn't get back into the Beak last evening (sorry)

Yesterday at my Mom's medical appt., the doctor went over her recent blood panel, EKG, Cardiology, etc., and he is giving the 'go-ahead' for my Mom to have surgery for a bladder issue.  They really wanted to make sure that her heart is strong enough to withstand anesthesia for the procedure which will probably take 2 - 3 hrs.
Her surgery is scheduled for July 28th.

Karen - How does Piper do when riding in a car?  Nice that Piper's house training is going better. :)

Lori - Love the beautiful pic of DH2 on the Y branch  ;D

Kb - So wonderful that Murphy's Rock baby got released!!

Bazi - Love what you said about Murphy the eagle dad - well said!! :-*

Phyl - Amazing about the smallest extinct penguin in the live science story - thanks for posting!  Sounds like a good dinner last night!  Liked your sweet night pic.  That is good news about Jim's prescription!
Loved 'Tommy the Cat' vid!!! ;D

Puff - Glad you are doing better.  Please take care. {{Puff}}

Lani - Precious night pic!  Glad that Mike will be home today  :)

Clynn - Like your gifs this morning.   Cute fawns! ;D   Love DH2 - great pic. :-*   Thank you for Sue Bruhling - love the post.

Tig - Sweet vid of cute doggie sharing his food  ;D

LisaG - I too, hope that Jeff lets you take his laptop to the ATF - it will be so much easier for you! ;D

Kb - You are so right about the Polar Bear Mama & her cub - such a precious vid!!   Glad you & Ollie got out early for a walk! ;D

Lani - You & Sadie were out very early for a walk! ;D  That is the best time to go - before the real heat sets in later. ;)   You and Mike have a wonderful afternoon after he returns home. :) :)

Og - Cards tonight? ;)

Beakers have a wonderful day  :)

tr40, love the cartoon!  Also like the cat and the tea and the cats in the sunglasses!  Think the one today is the same as yesterday!
E4e, hope your mothers surgery goes well!  Piper has only been in the car on her way home from the shelter.  Then, she backed out of her harness and jumped into the front seat and onto my lap!  She seemed okay after that!  Not as anxious to go as others I havehad but that is fine with me!  It is too hot to leave her in the car now anyway!

E4E  They gave me encouragement; latest issue under control - but now???

I was told yesterday my hip will be on hold at least 6 months and likewise any tooth extraction.   Not that I like pain. But waiting is just another kind of pain.  I'd really like to get it all over with. Oh, well.

Murphy's Rock baby has been released....fly high and stay safe Rocky!

Fantastic!  :-*[/B]

good news story!!!

[/b]This is one Beautiful Finale!!  Had all of media covering it, too.  I hope they run the outcome film, now too.

Wimbledon was on Tennis channel up til now - weekend and further into ladder they switch to espn.

P

Puff, none this year's Wimbledon matches has been aired LIVE on the Tennis Channel, but the Tennis Channel has aired replays of Wimbledon matches after the live action was over for the day. All LIVE Wimbledon action is being aired by ESPN this year, except for today and tomorrow, when ESPN will air it live from 7am till 1pm eastern today and tomorrow, and then at 1pm eastern, today and tomorrow, it will switch to ABC, where it is called "ESPN on ABC," for the rest of the day's LIVE Wimbledon action. So, anyone who misses it live on ESPN (or ABC) might be able to catch the replay on the Tennis Channel.  There have been some great matches, and plenty of upsets.

BAZI  No worries - Lisa prompted me in a PM  LOL  Thanks for the article.  Jaspurr adopted Daisy and Piper together!!!

TSK, thanks for the reminder about Daisy and Piper both going to Jaspurr's home! My memory let me down on remembering her adopting both Daisy and Piper! I totally forgot that, but now I remember Karen talking about them being adopted together and how different their personalities are.  :D

Thanks! 
Good news on Rocky!  Looks great up in the sky!  Thanks for the view on the y as well!

Karen, today and Sunday, Wimbledon will air live as usual starting at 7am, eastern time, on ESPN, but then it will switch to ABC at 1pm, eastern time for the rest of the day's live matches - just today and tomorrow, and then back to ESPN. If you miss any of the live matches, the Tennis Channel is airing replay of many of the matches.

Yeah,Tsk, same reply goes back to Phyl and Lisa.  Too many embolisms, size of some also concern doctors.  Ergo, larger than usual dosage of eliquis.  I've been cautioned about being extremely cautious until they can adjust the amount.  I will get a repeat CT in a couple weeks to see the effects on my conditions.

Day's in VT can't get any better was the Catamount beer cheer clinking of the pint glasses as the fire crackled and some peeps lake swam like the day they was born.

Total Bomb Riot all of you.    8)      :)     :-X      :'(

May the travel ahead just like the one you came from be as sweet as Tupelo honey.

That was some special shit.
Some old school pickers blessed our campfires.
One night came the caution about the volume of the crackle and acoustic.
Most left just before sunrise out of uniform with their jaws dropped.

BL, thanks for the Tupelo Honey... Sounds like you had some good times around the campfire...

Lani, Mike is safe at home by now and I am sure he is glad to be home! I bet you could read a sonogram, just from how you could see all the details from the cam pics of Fern & Herbie! Hope Aly is getting settled in, so glad she finally got her stuff!

Puff, hugs and prayers for you, not fun waiting for relief... but at least it's coming...

baz, STEP ladder, LOLOL!!

tsk, maybe you can video a bit of Lulu and the popcorn popper!

Lisa, wow, 7 lbs! Like Lani, I don't know how doctors can know all these things!  And what they can see in a sonogram is incredible!

T40, great videos, love cat smacking the dog! Great eagle landing!

E4E, glad to hear that Mom is doing well, continued prayers...

Phyl - Wow, gorgeous kitties! Thanks for the cam pics.

tsk - Bradley was 6lbs. 13oz, when he was born and I believe Kelly said she was like almost 9 pounds.  I am wondering if the baby will more of Kelly's birth weight.

((Puff)) - Thanks for answer our questions.  I do hope you don't have to wait too long and be in pain.

Lani - Yes, it is amazing how doctors can tell now the weight, and those ultrasounds are 10x's better than when we had them. 

BL - Thanks for the tunes.

tig - Good news on the knees!

karen - Good to hear that Piper doesn't seem scared of the weather.

Slept 9 hours last night!!!  My cat alarm failed.  ;)

PHYL  Who would guess that a black eagle is white at birth.  Jeopardy question...  :-\

CLYNN  Another colorful AM greeting and wonderful words to live by.

KB  I won't tell that little bear if you don't..LOL     That must be some kind of rescue site?

TIG   YAY  a great start to your Sunday.

LISA  If "no name" baby is heading for 9 #s you've got time  LOL

Biggest amusement/mystery from my week journey stay/visit at Good Sam would have to be the test related.  One of the additional tests done was to find out the speed of the blood going through one of the areas.  WHAT???  Do they give out a speed citation?  I never got a gander of the radar used; I also never saw a posted speed limit.

Modern US medicine is amazing!  Used an instrument that took the measurement from outside the body.  Think about it. . .I know I felt the beat of the pulsation and heard the swoosh sound.  But why did they need that stat? What is the normal mph? I have these questions and more for my cardio appointment need visit.  I repeat - it's amazing.

Karen - I was wondering if you take Piper for a ride if you go somewhere quick, like to pick up food in the 'drive thru'  :)

Puff - 6 months seems a long time to wait when you are in discomfort. :o   Wish you could get your tooth taken care of sooner.  {{Puff}}   I just read what you explained to Tsk - thank you for the status.  Hope your condition gets a lil better each day.

Bazi - Enjoy all that great tennis! :)

LisaG - Thank you Lisa for the well wishes for my Mom's upcoming surgery although I'm glad it is not until the end of the month. I just don't like that she is going thru with it, but she feels she needs the procedure.   Nice to know that the baby is already 7 lbs - sounds like the birth is near - but hopefully not until you return from ATF!

Tig - Thank you so much  :)   Nice like a perfect morning out in your garden/yard :)   Stepson's dog  ;D ;D   Cute story of when you had your toy poodle! ;D

Phyl - Like the little story of the Maine Coon and beautiful pic!  Yum! I bet your pulled pork sammies were so good! ;D  Nice temps for you today!   Love the Two Harbors pics  ;D

Tsk - Thank you Tsk  :)   Good for you getting 9 hrs of sleep!  Cat alarm - Lol  ;D

Lani - Thank you  :)  You & Mike have a nice Sunday  8)

Clynn - Like your morning gifs - always so fun/happy.  Love the new pic of Rocky's release - may he always fly high and stay safe.   Retro telephone! ;D

Kb - Wow - amazing pic this morning!   Wow just watched the vid - never saw anything like that - kinda made me a lil nervous watching, but all was good :)  :)    Ollie chasing chipmunks  ;D

Going to hop into the shower now - going to pick up my Mom this morning and bring her over here for breakfast!
My sis might come too, but not sure, as she hasn't been feeling good.  My sister is having Thyroid surgery tomorrow.

Welcome to LPC's LoonCam 2!  UPDATE: (Sunday 3:30PM)  Egg 1 hatched 9:59PM Saturday, July 9.  The chick appears healthy.  The second egg hatched Sunday, around 3:30PM. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hggPzB1jKZE

This YouTube live stream features a loon nest in the lakes region of central New Hampshire. There were two eggs on the nest.  Hatches were predicted to be July 8-10.  The first egg was laid June 11, at 18:51:25 and the second egg on June 14 at 9:21:36, or 62 hours apart.  Our blogger's precise hatch predictions (and he has a good track record) is: Egg 1: July 8, 10 pm. Egg 2: July 10, 2 am.  During incubation, hatch, and before leaving the nest, anything can and has happened.  For much more information on loons, see our web site at https://loon.org/    FYI, the LoonCam 1 pair did not nest this year due to territorial issues and is no longer streaming.

The GSB cam is generally down these days.

So much has happened to this nest. Chat believes,  only two young falcons are alive.
 As I understand, it seems all the others  have been killed by the owl.
If you click on this link to  Explorer and nest cam chat you'll get the full narrative on what's been happening the past weeks.
Better than what I can summary.

Also at the chat link above is a lovely video of the 2023 season.
Seeing Savanna again will bring tears.

HI BEAKERS

64 heading to 88 with a dew point of 53 this AM

LANI  That loon cam is such a peaceful one - raining on the water this AM  :)  Grand Canon - awesome. :o

KAREN   Sounds like Piper is getting the hang of it.  Is there a treat for good behavior?   ;)

KB   Bummer about your computer laptop.  Is it something that could be rehabbed?   That pelican " had eyes bigger than its stomach" or " bit off more than he could chew"  LOL

PHYL   Sorry to hear about the GSB deaths.  :'(

Lani, what a gorgeous picture of the Grand Canyon! Good day to stay inside! It was nice here yesterday, the A/C goes back on today. Heading for 90. Hope Mike got rested up! Thanks for the Loon news, they are such pretty birds and love their call...  Benson, what a hunk!

E4E, you will have your quota of worrying filled up for a while, praying all goes well!

kb, great video of the pelican rescue, he was glad to give up that meal and get away from it!!  And the eaglet rescue, so glad it got help! They will take good care of him...

Phyl, did you get to work on your book while it rained yesterday? How is Maggie? Honey is holding her own, skinny but is eating, moving around, etc. Owls are causing such havoc it seems. Wish they could co-exist better with other birds. So many emotions we have with these birds. Great pic of Norman, he must be very experienced at avoiding the owls!

Lori, love the Dunrovin videos, love seeing three big healthy ospreylettes in the nest! It seems like there was an osprey nest in the past that named the chicks Snap, Crackle & Pop. I just can't remember which one it was! Hope you are doing well, and your Mom and Dad and Grandma and brother...I think about you often...  Good pic of DH2 picking at the leftovers!

tsk, it's heating up again...  ::)

From nr, WF osprey chicks doing well!

tsk - good idea about a possible fix?....I just finished a video of a guy taking apart the computer, taking out the trac pad, cleaning it out and voila it works.
I wouldn't be surprised that's all mine needs...what with dog hair and food, LOL...it is always on my lap so it takes a bit of abuse..
I have a company a block away called chip heads that I might call to see if they would be able to do something like that, and for how much?
I don't have the tools necessary to do it myself.

Taking my Jeep up for a brake inspection...think I need new ones plus new rotars now...I can walk home as it's only a block or so over from my house.

Iner just left..he's younger than I remember..must have been someone else before...they found the break and it's at the elbow...unfortunately, when the city put this in in the early 60's they didn't do straight out to the main in the street, but instead created vulnerabilities taking it out one direction and then bending 45 degrees and then 90 degrees out to the street so it ran out alongside the garage, not straight out under the basement floor
He will address the pool the city created after he fixes the elbow....may not need to change anything there which would be great as the concrete then in Scott's shop wouldn't be disturbed....just the elbow outside of the shop and garage.

Later....off for another possible fix....my house/and things has become a real fix it place.

Hey girl!  saw you are having an issue with your trackpad.  There are a couple things to try before calling anybody... is it responding at all?  There are so many things it could be... first things first... use an alcohol wipe and clean the trackpad, try & get the creases if you can, I also use a tiny brush to get into the creases and also an air duster (air in a can) comes in very handy. The problem "could" also be a setting in MAC.. for now... you can use an an external mouse either wired or wireless if you have an extra one around the house.  I use a wireless keyboard (with a trackpad) when I have trouble with my keyboard or trackpad on my laptop until I get it fixed.  I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Wireless-Keyboard-Rechargable-Raspberry/dp/B077VYRMC1/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=wireless+keyboard+with+trackpad&qid=1688995673&sr=8-5  (happens a lot)...   take care sweetie.

Lani - Gorgeous pic of the Grand Canyon - breathtakingly beautiful! Good idea to have stayed indoors yesterday  :)

Phyl - Cute morning gif.   Great pic of Anthony at the Two Harbors! ;D   So sad about the Owl attacks at the Falcon nest during this season. :'(   Love seeing DH2 cleaning up at the nest. ;D

Tsk - Nice temp in your area today.

Clynn - Thank you  :)  Bet you are enjoying your new porch this summer!

Hi Tig - Nice morning to be out in the yard sprinkling?

Kb - Hope all goes well with your brake inspection.  I see that Lori has given you some good tips for your computer! :)

Lori - Looks like you have given Kb some good ideas for cleaning her computer.  :)

Oldguy - Have I missed a recent post - I don't think You mentioned how your weekend was, or if you had 'card' night during the weekend? 

Puff - Hope you are feeling ok and not in lots of discomfort.

Karen - Good morning / pat on Piper's head. :)

Baz - Good morning to you & Zippo.

LisaG - I know you are busy with lots going on! Have a nice day  :)

Beakers have a great day.

Post by: kbshcb on July 10, 2023, 09:36:07 AM

Lori - thanks for the link....yes, it works until I want to say move something..the pad doesn't work with this function: left finger holds it down, and right finger moves the object around...so if I want to look at radar clouds moving in I can zoom in and out but can't hold it down and move the picture around.

I don't use a desk so I'd have to think about having a separate keyboard and still look at my computer...also, my Macbook Air is a 2014.....I also think the battery is so old and may have swollen and it sits near the tracpad...for now I can work things around with a few more steps and yes I have looked into all the settings which are fine and enabled...

I have to have a new garage door opener motor replaced on Wednesday now too...well, last year Rob told me the some of the gear was slipping...just plastic parts that wear..but this year it is much more jerky and noisy so I decided to not risk the think just rolling down esp on top of my jeep.

Jeep only needs front brakes and rotars..they are sitting at less than 15 percent left of pads...rears are fine and they will also rotate my tires...tread is fine on them.

Remember, it's a 2000 Jeep Grand Cheroke with still only 65,000 miles on it...I bought it used in 2002 with 27 of the 65 thousand miles on it already...Scott and I put new tires on it in the last oh I don't 15 years or so...Looks brand new...other than as Chris would say it has none of that dash computer stuff in it...so to him, it's Ancient!

Ugg, sewer, Jeep, garage door, and at some point tracpad...ouch.

Hmm....it's now working after Chris plugged in his expensive mouse which must have reset something.
I can use a corner of the tracpad now and move things....
Voila.

Push come to shove, I can use his mouse permanently...takes up room on my ottoman next to my couch.

Next issue might be to replace the battery, that is if they still have 2014 batteries!...

Bearstudy updates

With blueberries ripening fast in open areas and a little slower in shaded areas, wild food that is already unusually abundant is increasing. In the midst of food abundance, another bright moment was a visit from bright-faced
yearling Bentley the gentle, trusting great grandson of Shadow (Shadow, RC, Bow, Bentley).

Kb, Monday is turning out to be a good day for you! tracpad works and sewer situation may not be ask bad.  ;D

Lori, good suggestions for Kb, we're blessed to have you and Oldguy  ;D

Clynn, Mike did a lot of cat napping in front of the tv yesterday, as well as catching up with emails. I hope he works out of home this week. It'll be hot in the valley and that wears on him.... the WF chicks look sweet and well.

Tsk, Loon cam is a nice peaceful watch, it's raining right now, and the two chicks are with dad.  :)

Phyl Anthony looks well... as does Newman. It's amazing to me that he has been able to escape these owl attacks. It's very sad that two and mom Samantha are lost, at least two are alive and learning how to survive and be beautiful Peregrines like their dad Newman! ... sweet and peaceful pics of DH2 visiting home nest.  :-*

{{{Puff}}} I hope you're feeling better today.

Oldguy, Congrats on a successful card night! Great videos and posts!  ;D... never heard of F & F, lead singer sounds a little like Stevie Nicks.

Lani - Thanks for the bear study update. I hope Mike will work from home too, that is some hot weather you are having.   Love the loons!

oldguy - That is my kinda coffee mug!  ;D  Thanks for the videos.

kb - You got alot going on sewer, Jeep, garage door, and at some point tracpad...ouch is right!

E4E - Hoping all goes well for your Sis today!  Keep us posted.

clynn - Love the daisies this morning.  Awww, the WF chicks are getting big.

Phyl - Nice cam pics this morning.  Thanks for the GSB info.

KB  We have a place right next to our DQ in town that has "Tech City" and I often thought I would go there with my next computer issues.  Hope it works out with the sewer problem that it can be repaired expertly without too much expense.  Newer guys in the field always marvel at hope things were done in the past.  Sounds like the Jeep turned out better than you thought. :D

LORI  Hopes your idea works for KB.

OLDGUY  Wrong link to Maru?   Inky and snake display - fascinating          LOL  Some very funny ones in the dog/cat compilation.  ;D ;D

I am so luck to have my tech support son, just had him help me yesterday. There was an update somewhere and I couldn't figure out how to upload pictures!  He is very patient with me!

Lisa, lovely boquet! And a fresh hair trim!

Lani, Mike really needed those cat naps! I also hope he can work from home when it's so hot!  Thanks for the Bear report, Bentley looks like a sweet one. So many bears coming from Shadow! It's amazing and a very good study that Lynn has kept going all these years!  Lucky keeping cool!

oldguy, love that HUGE coffee cup!  I hope it's Sumatra!  ;D  Hooray on the cards! 15 years of stardom for Maru, wow! 

kb, mouses do wear out.  I was having trouble last year, talked to Erin, got a new one and all problems solved.

I forgot to post this last Friday when I was coming back from the grocery store, picture taken from my car. This is a common occurrence on this road:

Oldguy - Wow - very good night at cards last Saturday!!

Lani - Love the pic of cute Bentley!!  Great pic of Lucky too! OMG - stay inside with warm temps like that!! ;)

Tig - Take care and now I understand the sprinkling  :) ;D

Clynn - Better keep the AC on!

LisaG - Glad for the rain you got!

Phyl - Wow, I've never seen such a beautiful bird out of south Africa - thank you for posting.

Puff - Glad you mentioned you are doing okay. :)

Clynn - Were those geese crossing the road or Turkey's - anyway, cute picture!!!

My sister's surgery for her Thyroid was later today than was scheduled, but I called over to the hospital about an hour ago, and they said she is in recovery and has not been taken to a room yet.  I will pick my Mom up tomorrow morning at 9:30 and head over to the hospital to see her.  I will let you know how she is doing after we visit with her.  Thank you Beakers for your prayers and concern.

Beakers have a good night and sleep well. :)

Many many moons ago I sat at this very shore at this very shelter.

So many moons ago my dearly beloved SIL just gave back to me my BL time machine decoder ring.  ;)

I now know my SIL took this picture just after 1 am on a Monday night. 
More on that later.   M n M.    :-*

It was one of those not really happy camper type days you see.
One of those holly nasty storming all afternoon hence the tarps type of days.

So as the 'nasty ones' in the afternoon here abouts tend to dew in the evening they lend themselves to spectacular midnights.   8)

The forest around this little ice age pot hole comes to life at dusk like no other place on earth I've ever experienced.

So about 10 minutes after this camera flashed above my left shoulder.

My retinas are still adjusting .. still adjusting back to campfire eyes and severe clear overhead.

Just over my Right shoulder a whiff, a musty weekend smell, something that sounds like human footfall ..
Beak are you screwing with me? 
Nope comes from inside the 2 dome tents in the shelter right behind me from the other 3 humans present.
hmm. 

The very cool local Black Bear matriarch known as Midnight Mandy sauntered about 8 feet just off my starboard elbow in the pic.
.. drank at the 'dock' and slipped into the pond without a thought huffing with glee.   :) 

I looked away just like I was another cheap folding camp chair, but I did glance at her big black eye as I'm not suppose to do.

I think the vibe back from her was as long as you leave my house as clean as yours we're all good.   

Ever since her I walk around every and any campground that would have me on Monday dusk's with a huge garbage bag.

Years ago a lot to pick up ..

Now I come back to my site smiling with just another empty bag. 2023.

A 300 lb VT sow winked at me once in 1993  _ I hold up my end of the bargain.  :-*

Jumbo lived for nights like these and loved the music so much his rental car backed down where no vehicles had ever gone before.

The appropriate respectful outdoor music spewed like an outdoor melody from that trunk that night.

There are so many stories of that Grand AM rental out of NH.

I'm crooked nosed windshield here to tell you a Moose took us out that foggy night, both sober and buckled doing posted. 

 . Jumbo's right arm straight out over my chest .

This ones going to hoof hurt  ___ the last thing I remember hearing

next thing I remember Jumbo bloody and broken doing after he checked on me was do the right thing by that moose.

We report that there is a 3rd clutch for the 2023 Nesting Season!   

We are now looking at possibles  CR-56, 57, 58 , 59,and 60.

I am guessing that they've only been laid about 4 days based on the activity at and around Nesting Box #1.
However, I'll just check with Jim on  what he thinks.
And, let y'all know.

BL, love how you weave your stories, even though I don't understand parts ... Did your campsite get attacked by a moose after Midnight Mandy sauntered by in peace? Love what you say the bear taught you...  I recognized Jumbo in the picture! A whole lot of beer! And I am sure lots of very good music!

Lani, yes, I am very lucky to have Erin to help me with technology!  Our generation missed out, and what we have learned is mostly from trial and error. Much frustration when something goes wrong...

oldguy, I am halfway through the Baby Boomer quiz, have missed 2 so far.  :o

E4E, yes, Canadian geese. There are lots of them that stay here all year and this time of year we wait as they wander from one body of water to another. They don't fly in the summer while they are molting and have their young to take care of.  So they walk in gangs everywhere! You can see some youngsters in the gang.  ;D Hope your sis had a good night's rest!

Phyl, Honey sounds like Maggie, 'a skeleton wearing a fur coat with an oinker appetite' although Honey is not doing much but sleeping and watching out the window. I am afraid she may leave while I am gone to Mom's next week... I hope not.  :'(   Beautiful pic of those lovely bluebird eggs! 3rd clutch, wow!

tsk, what a wonderful idea, the Technology Cafe! My Mom would go, she says she needs me to help her with the iPad when we are there next week...I hope it's something simple or I will have to call Erin.

Puff, hope you have another good day today. And tomorrow. And all the days forward!

Clynn, sorry to hear Honey is not doing well!  Prayers for her and you!
Piper going for a rabies shot and exam today!   New vet.   She will not wear a harness and I do not have a collar to fit her!  Ugh!  May go early and stop at a pet store near here and try to get one!   She might not like that either.

Hi Tig exciting story to share. All's well that ends well.  ;)

Tsk  what a cheery greeting this am; that african roller looks like a rainbow bird for sure.  Loosing Maggie is really going to be painful for me. Wish there was a
'Tech Cafe ' of sorts here. From what I've read 3rd clutches aren't common. But do occur---for our Easterns at our house---quite common.

Karen best wishes for Piper and good report from vet. Wouldn't fret too much if you have her in a carrier. IMHO
 Be safe on the freeway---close calls  yikes!

Lisa pretty flowers this AM;  surely Jeff will share his laptop w/you.  :) 

KB adore that tiger cub this AM;  Jeep all fixed and ready to hit the road.  Good as new breaks make one feel secure-not too over confident.

E4E pretty happy daisies this AM;  hoping all's well w/your sis; in her  absence, wondering,  will your mom be w/ you?

Lani we do have bluebirds flittering and fluttering constantly---year 'round.  Tks for  Royal A. update ---plenty of chow today.  ;) 
Looks like Manaaki will have same markings, great photo of them.  Hoping Aly is doing well.

kb - Yes, all you need to do is tap the brakes and you stop, or at least that is how I feel when I get new brakes.  If any harder, you might get whiplash.  ;D

Tsk, she did ok at the vet!  Wore herself out as she came in the house and collapsed !  Shehad a nail trim which she did not like, a rabies shot (she did not flinch), anal glands exoressrd, chest listened to and antibiotics prescribed.   My vet who doesnt practice but does other related animal things recommended a martingale collar since she was slipping the harness.   Her head is chihuahua size and her body is pug size, so she backed out of tgem! She now has the collar in red!  Didnt want yo let hjh worker take if off and seemed to walk well on the leash!  The leash is onebI had that is red on one side and red, gold and black on the other!
I had a message on my i pad that you had a thunderstorm warning!  No rain here so far!
Lani, I saw you were asked how Aly was doing and I would also like to know!  New job, new home, new people!  A lot of getting used to but she seems to have bosses that are good folks!

Yep at least a 4.7 L V8 engine and I can't recall but it might have something super duper on it?...making it more than 4.7?....It's too old for me to recall....LOL.

I think I named her Nellie? a year ago....I can't recall that either.....

LisaG - I figured that Jeff would more than likely lend you his laptop. ;D

Lani - cute Manaaki and Dad - cute little soft feathers  :)   Wow, what a special keepsake from Mike's Granddad and such a nice way to keep your recipes! :)

Kb - Sounds as if your Jeep is running as good as new - and lots of power under the hood! :)

Phyl - Liked the pic at Roodekrans nest!

Karen - That's great that Piper did so well at the Vet's!  Sounds like you got her the best collar & leash for her! ;D

Several of you have asked about my sis and I am happy to say that she was able to go home today!  I picked up my Mom this morning @ 9:30 and we arrived over to the hospital in time to meet and talk to her Doctor!  He released her and we got her home before noon.
A couple of you asked if my Mom stayed with me last night, but no, she wanted to stay at her place.  She was fine.
After, my sis got comfortable in bed back at their Apt., I went to the Pharmacy to pick up medication for my sis and also went to the grocery store for a couple of things they needed.
So far, all seems to be fine.  Thank you Beakers for your concern, thoughts & prayers. :-* :)

LISA   PT Good  Cut myself to 1x/week - She's knows I will be faithful to my exercises and agreed.

KAREN   Good job for Piper at the vet and likes to leash walk.  Very well coordinated as well  LOL     I checked my gauge this afternoon and had no idea how much rain we had but it was 1/10th shy of an inch!!  YAY  I don't have to water pots tonight.  LOL

LOL  When I leave for  any reason, I always tell Maggie as I stroke her cheeks/chin " I love the peawadden out of you. God willing I'll be back. Keep safe."
I know, I know---silly.   :-[


{{{Lisa}}} Indeed. That's the Pinterest trap. The folks there think if you like something once. You'll like it forever. LOL

E4E great news for your Sis  and Mom, too.    ;)  Tks for  the 'positive'  updates.

Tsk love that nest as much as Two Harbors/Sauces;  what did you ladies study today?

KB  if my memory serves---you did name your Jeep 'Nellie'. Don't V8 engines have an irregular firing that make them kind of  have a 'pulsing' sound. Or am I thinking only of autos?   :-\

When the V6 engine was first developed in the 1960s, the angle between the V was out of sequence to the firing of the cylinders, which caused a loping sound.  This made it very easy to tell just from the exhaust sound if a car had a V6 or V8 engine.
This was corrected in the 70s or 80s to even out the sound by changing the angle of the V.

The Grand Cherokee had 3 engines available - 3.6 V6, 4.7 V8 and a 5.7 V8
The 3.6 V6 was popular for owners that wanted better gas mileage and was the default engine
The 4.7 V8 (235hp) was popular by owners that wanted good acceleration for freeway driving and minor off road adventures and towing small trailers
The 5.7 V8 (330 hp) was used for towing larger trailers.  This was a hemi engine made by Chysler.

BL - if you are still in the NH/VT area, I hope you have found some dry high ground to sit out the flooding.

Our area got no rain this evening - redeveloped to the East of us again - chance for tomorrow morning still in the forecast - the lawns are turning brown again and did not grow much from last weeks small amount.

Karen, Lisa, PhylAly is well and busy. She continues to work online with Community Banners Payson, and is building a clientele in Oregon. She will continue to look for a home to rent outside of Medford. But in the meantime she's settling in nicely.  :)  ... she likes her new boss, his family and her co-workers very much. Her new boss and wife invites her to their home for dinner a lot.

Kb, it was always felt uncomfortable for me to drive with new brakes for a couple days or so. Glad you have new brakes, nice and safe now.  :). ... Funny map! LOL!

Karen, glad Piper did well at vets and you found a collar for her.... take care

Phyl, thanks for pic update of little snowman black eaglet. cute  ;D

Eagles, good news about your sister. Prayers for her continued healing.

Tsk, good job with the pt. I wish Mike would do more.... Like you, I'm thrilled when I don't have to water because it rained! Glad it rained for you!

{{{Baz}}} I'm sorry, sending gentle hugs and prayers for healing and comfort, and good days of tennis watching. Peace be with you.  :) ;D

Tig - fair enough but I do wish I was getting paid to water every day!....front one day, back the next day.
It's become a part time job!
And, still perennials are dying everywhere, front and back....can't keep up..

Thanks, Oldguy....my Grand Cherokee has a towing package, I'll have to see if I can find my original manual or purchase agreement to find out if it's the 5.7 or 4.7....who knows if I can find it though....it's 23 years old and now I feel guilty for keeping her mostly in the garage with all that power...LOL

a good friend pointed out that the name Nellie sounds kind of wimpy for her....hmm, yeah it does...other suggestions are welcome.

Garage door is getting a new motor this morning..and some minor tweaks...not sure I like the idea of an outdoor keypad though, sounds like it's an upgrade that maybe shouldn't be added for security purposes? What say you.

Phyl, Anthony looking good! The auction does sound like fun! I have some framed eagle prints that Ed has 'found' over the years. I need to take to Decorah next year so they can auction them at the next ATF! Cute good night pic!

oldguy, you will surely be getting a good rain this morning! Great video of the volcano in Iceland, it's mesmerizing...

Lani, so happy to hear that Aly is on a great path with her career! Good people to work for is a plus that is hard to come by...

baz, hope you get to feeling better very soon...

tsk, I keep forgetting to put the rain gauge out! Every time I think about it it's pouring down rain....  ::) ::)

Lisa, I have noticed that too, that if you just look at something, on Pinterest or Facebook or even just on the web you start getting stuff on the same subject. I have looked at tub/shower conversions and home warranty info in the web and immediately get a phone call about it. I had a phone call a few years back trying to get me to order my diabetic supplies from this company. I told them I was not diabetic, and he said yes you are, you ordered insulin online! I said IT WAS FOR MY CAT! I have a diabetic CAT.  He hung up.  ;D

karen,  sounds like Piper is getting the hang of going outside, she just needed someone who cares!  I am sure she thinks she is in heaven now, living with you!

SF Bay Ospreys - Rosie and Richmond spent a little time defending the nest from a couple of other Ospreys today. Rosie spent almost three hours in her "nook" (an upper sheave on the boom), and Richmond made sure the nest was tidied up.

Piper was not happy with me last night!  I decided her collar was too tight and since I could not loosen it, I cut it off!  She saw the scissors and tried to get away!  Now have to buy another and get some instructions!   She doesnt like manis or pedis either but Surely they were not done with scissors!  Who knows, all well this am!

OLDGUY   Impressive drone footage really spells it out.

CLYNN  A definite theme today  - I like the umbrella wind chime  ;D  Your rain heading out way .  It never ceases to amaze me how we are all tracked on line.  Brave new world

Morning Puff, karen, and all   :)

Phyl - Haha, so true what you said about Pinterest!  When I leave the house, I tell B & M, I'll be right back!  One day, they might answer me!  ;D  Thanks for RRP blog, and cam pics.

tsk - That is great that you only have to go 1x a week.  I know you will be on top of those exercises. 

karen - That is good that you can call if you feel you need the PT again.  Sounds like Piper had a good vet visit. 

baz - Hope you feel better soon, and love your good night pic!

kb - The map....hilarious!!!!!!!!  ;D ;D  My neighbor has the keypad for the garage door. She loves it, cause she locked herself out of the house one day, and she keeps a spare key in the garage hidden.

oldguy - Thanks for the video.

Lani - Glad to hear that Aly is settling in nicely, and her boss and wife are good to her.

clynn - OMG, that is really BIG BROTHER spying on you!  Great pics of R&R and the Boulder chicks.

E4E - Thanks for the update on your sis, and hope she has a quick recovery.  Enjoy your lunch.  It sounds delish!

Good morning Beakers!
Hi 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 and All

Lisa, I keep a spare key hidden in our garage too. I always have to remind myself where it is, and make sure the family knows where it is. Because I have this fear that one day I'm going to need it and I'll forget where I put it.  :-[

Eagles and Kris, have a good time with friends today, and enjoy the yummy Tri-tip sandwiches.  ;D

Tsk, no we haven't repaired the shower. We're considering other options.

{{{Karen}}} your humidity is awful  :P ... I've had to cut off a dog and cat collar at one time or another. And they didn't like the scissors either.... You'll find the right collar for Piper. Clynn's right about Piper, she's settling in nicely and feeling loved.  :-*

Clynn, Oh geez, Big Brother sees you online moment!  What an invasion of privacy... love the wind chimes... I love your posts of Rosie and Richmond, I pray other ospreys will stay away... cute pic of the BCF kids! LOL! ... send some of your rain over here.  ;D

Kb, I use our outdoor keypad several times a day and it's an attached garage to our home. It's where I keep landscaping tools and other items that need to be handy for outdoor work..  It's not a worry. It's very easy to change the security code anytime. I change mine twice a year. You can change it every day if you want.... love the Lynx, a good name for the jeep.  ;D

Phyl, thanks for Two Harbor pics ... and ATF auction items are fantastic!

{{{Baz, Puff, Tig}}}

New motor is done..2 remotes and the keypad...it's quieter and brighter lights...very cool..
Yes, Chris already changed the number of the keypad.at least he knows how to do that...follow instructions I guess ;) ;)....
We just found 2 keys to the door to the house from the garage...like the idea of keeping a spare inside somewhere...meantime I now have one on my key chain..I have locked myself out before with that door, but Chris is always home, but you never know!.

Interestingly, he assessed my garage door itself: It's solid wood with 4 panels....can't buy a replacement for less than 3-4 thousand with that kind of insulation today.....and mine looks good from the outside. The new motor tightened the closure when it closes too....like he said: Older is always better (and less clostly) than new...no reason to replace it.

Lani - I have to squeeze my SUV and lawn mower and tools and shelves and drawers and lots of stuff in my attached one car garage....not enough room on my lot and for most homes built in the late 50's and early 60's for a 2 car garage...Scott would leave his vehicle parked on the street or our almost 2 car driveway..

It's tight in my garage and could never have fit Scott's Lincoln Navigator inside it...or for me any bigger of vehicle.

EAGLES   Love poppies .   So far just some light rain - think the worst is going south of us.  Super big benefit of retirement is that you can have a life in the middle of the week  ;D.  Enjoy today

LISA   That is what I am grateful for with the keypad.  We have a spare key hidden in the garage too. 

LANI  Sure hope Iris is OK  Looked hopeful initially.

KB  Hiding a key in the garage is a MUST  You just never know.  Sounds like you had an honest garage guy.

Kb, glad your new door is up, Chris has got the key pad running too, and all is well. You'll be pleased  ;D .... with our HOA rules/regulations, everything has to placed in our garage, nothing can be outside. Trash bin not allowed in sight until trash day. And car can be parked in driveway overnight. Mike's SUV barely squeaks in. My car is comfortable. LOL! I have a two car garage with a small one available to park a golf cart. I have that as my garden area with a table. We keep our freezer and a small bar refrigerator in the garage too. It's tight but it works.  ;D You should have seen it when Aly's things were in the garage too.  ;D

Speaking of garages....We have a 2 1/2 car garage but you wouldn't know it .  It's not me that fills it with S---!  Every spring or fall I take it all off the shelves ( empty cans?  3 of the same item?) to make some room on the shelves .  "Well I may need that"  sigh.  When Tim's SUV is parked you don't have access to the shelves. I have to shimmy sideways if I want "rose spray" for instance. Hmm.

I can't imagine LANI - Our 3  city issued bins would never fit in the garage but are "hidden" along side our house from the front view.  Reclycle is in the garage by the mudroom entry for convenience but garbage and lawn refuse are outside

KB  consider your second remote a spare  LOL

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: camperstig on July 12, 2023, 03:04:35 PM

another two cents...
Camper keeps the second remote clipped to our desk basket and he pushes the button there on his way out the door ( rather than needing to enter on the keypad when he gets there, as I do). We keep the other on the visor in the car. The pedestrian door faces our home and that usually only gets used when I'm gardening, etc. for access to tools.

Going through a nightmare with Grandma, she was put in a nursing home last weekand the family is fighting among 10 kids and it seems all some of them care about is getting their cut out of the will from Grandma's house.  She is not gone yet!  She needs $$$ to pay for the nursing home. I am at the point that I don't know what to do.  It's a long story and I feel that some people are disrespecting my Grandmother and it makes me very sad and angry.  :-\   Other than that things are OK.  Every one of you brings a smile to my face... love ya & prayers & hugs to Tig,  Lani, Clynn, Tsk, Oldguy, Lisa, E4E, KB, Bazi, pink, Blschue, T40, Lilbro, BrokenLug,  Nora, Jaspurr, Phyliz, EBURG, Karen, Jilltosa, Peep, Puff, Ssrl, Mass, Ezee,  Ginger, Oma, Weasel, Maxie, Lindy, Nanimal, Emyrauld, Nrstooge, Ruby, Paulie, F22Raptor, the Cheers group & ALL of you special eagle lovers!

Hi E4E  Hi Phyl I credit/blame my car choices on my two older brothers.  Both liked power cars.  But, learned too to treat them so you don't have problems.  First car ever was Plymouth Roadrunner BeepBeep.  Also had '87 Chevy Monte Carlo.  Lots of training from Dad and brothers.  For example - First driving lesson from Dad was when he picked me up after work at Jewel.  The car had a flat tire - No he didn't show me, he made me change it.  Brother Ed made me rebuild/change the carborator.  Ed also didbody and mechanical work for a couple local/national NHRA teams.  Brother Rod was the  show off kid.  Unlike Rod I've had one speeding ticket - on Iowa 18 highway leaving for home after ATF.  I've told this story before, but it bears repeating.  One story I've never talked of before was the time Ton went shopping with me, I needed the help or the watching?  Anyway ended up with my pig Buick.  Long, slow, big - no fun at all.  I've taken all cars over 100,000 except for that Park Avenue.  I think it was 90,000 and GONE.
I repeat -swear on the Bible - one speeding ticket since 1964. 

BTW  I've been following discussions about garage openers.  I have the setup with visor clipped openers for the car plus wall mounted control for the overhead.  Both have their selling points.  But returning to two weeks ago when I practiced 911 calling -they knew my address from the phone call and I trusted them with the code since I was to be found in garage.  Very handy indeed, I just sat and waited for them.

Beakers, kids are gone and I have my rum/coke in hand...They were rather quiet today, it was rainy and they just calmly did their homework, watched videos and had lunch and snacks. Bella always finds other things to do, she played with stickers, and her LOL dolls for a while.  She went out with Papa to look at the tomatoes and flowers. They picked a little tomato and she brought it in. She spent a good bit of time washing it in the sink! :o

Puff, I have honestly had only one speeding ticket in my life too! 1977 in Columbia MO, for going 43 in a 35 zone. If I should get one tomorrow, I have certainly earned it over the years!! Don't the signs on I-80 mean 80 MPH?  That's what almost everyone does! If you go the speed limit you are passed by all.

Lori, all the pecan goodies! LOVE IT!  Only one is tainted with chocolate! LOLOL! Love the critters in their rain gear.   ;D  I can't imagine trying to put a raincoat on Harley...I would be a bloody mess... ::) ::)  Sorry to hear that your Grandma is in the nursing home. Inheritance problems can really tear up a family, I hope yours makes it through okay. My 2 sisters and I won't have any issues, we have all done very well and don't need anything. Of course, my parents have a lot more than any of us thought they had, guess that's from being frugal...

tsk, we have a two car garage and have NEVER had a car in it... And, like you, it's not because I am the one that fills it with S---! If I showed you a picture you would gasp. It is full of shelves with games everywhere, I guess Ed thinks I want to sell on eBay up to the day I die. We do have the snow blower at the very front of the garage, I hate opening the door. Also a big freezer and a fridge out there.

Lani, beautiful picture of Iris and love the words!

LORI  Great reminder for Pecan pie day - Pecans are one of my weaknesses  :o  Cute rainy day pets and pecan treats.  I'll choose the pecan pie latte  ;D   So sorry to hear about Grandma's 10 kids bickering.  So I take it there is no Will or executor of her estate?  Guess all we can do is offer some prayers that folks will come to their senses and spend the remaining time loving their mother..  ((((LORI))))

PUFF   Are you getting the bad weather going through the SW burbs?  I didn't hear Darien listed but am sure you are close.

BAZI  Thank goodness this discomfort is happening now when you have something you like to do to distract you.  :-* :-*

CLYNN  Now you won't see the munchkins for 2 weeks right?  Bet the day goes fast for them.  They like being at Grandma's and Grandpa's  Good that they have homework to do in the summer.  ;)   LOLOL  I might just gasp if you opened the garage door  LOL 

BL  Funny you should mention it.  Big thunderstorm rolled through my neighborhood mid afternoon.  Emptied the gauge a just shy of 1".  Now at 6 PM nest time - a torrential rain lasting about 10 minutes.  Ran out and emptied again and 3/8" this time.  We had under an inch yesterday as well.

Why not a masculine name for your Jeep?

Hi Tig

CLynn lot of  um-ber-ella -s  for t his AM; Munchkins look so cute; did their homework too. Tks for the SF Bay Osprey Rosie/Richmond update and photo. Alot going on there. Boulder County Fairgrounds Osprey Cam  -the triplets have eye on Ma for sure.  Doesn't your security prog have a VPN or Incognito so you can search and browse
privately?

HiPuff so cool you and KB know lots about cars.

Karen LOL Ms Piper and her collar, glad to hear all's well and your off PT

Tsk cheerful butterfly this AM, speaking of how are yours doing?   Jim did another nest box inspeciton and still 5 egglets. That's good  ;D  St Paul was very creative in his letters to the Romans---had to be---they were shameful and wicked.   :-* LOL

E4E  enjoy the poppies; your weather sounds nice---we too much humidity. YOu know still now hummers. I think they're staying in Tejas (Texas).

Lisa LOL 'I'll be right back' I believe they will answer,  too. Maggie  uses alot of one tone mews. Her pitch tells me if she agrees or not. Have loads of fun chatting with her.

Lani  tks for HellgateOsprey update/photo.

{{{Lori}}} pets to Destini;  love pecan pie, my Aunt Anne makes the best  !  .  Those Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Cupcakes with Butter Pecan Frosting would be sinful.  ;) 

So sorry for the woes w/ your Grandma---does any one of you Kids have a Durable power of attorney for health care and or same for finances? The child with that welds the power over all others in cluding the doctors and nurses. I had one for my mother. :-*  She had a stroke . But, her brain was sharp and quick---just lost her speech and legs.   :'(   And, so very true the nursing home will take all her money for her room and board. And, if she has even a dime left they'll take that too. I kept some of her cash in an account in my name on the side before anyone else got involved in her life.  Then just reported what  she had in her personal account. Good thing too as there were some copays afterwards. And, some expenses for clothing and personals. Salon visits were extra  out of pocket so.
Keep you in my prayers   ;)    :-*

Lisa - no I have not yet found a hiding spot...if I have it on my car key ring should be fine, but I'm pondering having both...safe travels for you coming up....if you run into storms, just head up to Minneapolis and you'll find dry, teehee.

Phyl - I dunno...I think of her as a SHE?....probably cause she's always been mine and Scott had his own pickups and SUV's....he hated the Jeep front driver's seat...it wasn't comfortable enough for him..

Silly I know but I'll come up with something more appropriate.

Gosh you all get all the rain and storms...I was talking with sis today and she confirms we've only gotten abut an inch of rain all summer long...it's it's own devastation...and 3rd row in a year and this one is the worst of the 3....might have to take out a home equity loan just to pay for all the watering....LOL..

Good Evening Beakers

We won the jackpot here today - veried widely, but Iowa City area had from 1.25 to 2.25 inches today - and no severe winds...  Dew point was in the 70s as the rain stopped, but dropped slightly to up 60s for the rest of the day.  High of 82.

The Iceland volcano has quieted down - only a single cone building up with the flow going south - the rest of the fissures have stopped.  Flow is now down to 15 cubic meters - similar to last years flow.

BL - if you are still in the NH/VT area, I hope you have found some dry high ground to sit out the flooding.

Check.

That was one heck of a ride south down the NYS Thruway OG. 

I've seen some weather stuff on this stretch of 87.

We had our Life Jackets on IN the SUV several times.  :o

Lori, thanks for the delicious pecan goodies. I'm so sorry about your grandma and now the behind the scene battles with family members. It's sad and heartbreaking, especially when each of you need to be together in helping your grandmother's physical and emotional needs. I remember you posting she wanted to be in her own home. I feel sad for both of you.  :'( Sending prayers  dear one 🙏🏼

Clynn, looks like it was a nice day with the munchkins, even though it was raining, they look like they were enjoying the quiet day. You always make them yummy lunches.. I hope Ed's tomatoes are doing well. I finally have 7 little ones popping out.... Keebler  ;D... it's wonderful seeing beautiful Decorah mom and knowing she's well  :-*... she's the reason we're here and still together after all these years. God Bless her and DM2.... LOL about the spiders.

{{{Hugs and continued prayers Baz}}}  :'(

Tsk, you are really getting a lot of rain. I just read Lisa's post to you. I hope you and Puff are okay.

Oldguy, videos from drones are amazing, thanks.

{{{Tsk, Puff, Oldguy, BL, Clynn, Lori}}} Take care and keep warm and dry from the storms.

Good night!

Happy Thursday!

I previously posted a pic of a GSD with attitude.....this is my cat version!

(https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/maine_coon_cat.jpeg)

It's getting dewy out there...already dropped my fertilizer that arrived yesterday late, in the back yard this time...watering now, even though this type of organic fertilizer doesn't burn nor need to be watered in.
The back needs watering today irrespective.


Not sure I'll walk Ollie yet this am....I'm sweating already just from using a drop spreader...we shall see.
going up to 87 today

8 tornados went through suburbs yesterday evening  Mostly west and SW of me.  Lots of tree damage in suburb west of me.

PUFF  How did you do?

LISA  Am seeing all the damage on the news this AM.  O'Hare had its people shelter.

PHYL  Have released 7 monarchs and have 5 tiny caterpillars munching away and several more eggs waiting to hatch.  ;)  Had those roller skates with my key  ;D  Will take quiz later - in a rush now.

KB  Love the cat!

OLDGUY   Good warning on the grape jelly for those who have both species.

tsk- Yikes, 8 tornadoes!  Glad to hear that you did not have any damage. 

Puff - Hope you did not have any damage.

kb - Beautiful kitty.  Stay hydrated.  We are going up to 93° today, another hot one for us, too.  Weather detour  ;) ;D

Phyl - Thanks for the cam pics, quiz, and cool Log Cabin syrup container.

BrokenLug - Thanks for the tunes. 

Lani - Love the good night pic, so pretty.

oldguy - Sure sounds like you hit the weather jackpot.  Thanks for the videos...love those Q-Kids!

I don't know if anyone of you knew this Decorah chatter (I know Puff knows her)  - sunset dreamer sometimes we just called her sunset was her name, but she is one of the ladies that I stayed at the cabin with last year for ATF.  She made alot of things for the auction, too.  She passed away on 7/11.  I don't know any of the details, but the post on her FB page says, she passed at her home.

Time to start getting things ready to spend a week at Mom's! Kelsey and I will leave Saturday morning and come back Sunday the 23rd.

tsk, sounds like you are finally having butterflies this year!  Sure glad those tornadoes passed you by... How scary would it be if you were sitting in a plane on the runway...  :o

kb, yes, that cat definitely has attitude (and is probably very cuddly). If your vehicle hasn't had a name for 23 years I think 'Jeep' is good!

Phyl, I missed 2 on the Baby Boomer quiz! Anthony has such a beautiful view... Take a look at part of the shelf that is on my soffit, right there under the popcorn ceiling...:

oldguy, you got a good rain too! Saving your links for this afternoon!

Lisa, so sorry to hear about sunset dreamer... seems like there was another long time poster who recently passed, naimo posted about it, but I can't find it!

Post by: Puff on July 13, 2023, 08:56:48 AM

Here's my contribution of our local weather yesterday, mainly 3 areas in the metro Chicago area.  For those not knowing, let me say I live west and south of beautiful downtown Chicago,  tsk is west and north.  Two main tracks were followed.

News casters  did a lot of coverage of the problems around me.  My telltale saga of a close call would be the interviews and spot pics of many in my area.  i.e. I live 2nd house from Plainfield road - lady about 3 or 4 miles east down the road had a lot of vids taken of her house and that area, Plainfield road in Countryside. This is almost a repeat of year and a half ago, this time west of me about a mile.  Ugly trend forming???  Some of those unfortunates are still not back home.  No more dilly-dallying any more.  Believe me I moved quickly down into lower level rec.

I'm sure tsk will add reports for WN area by close to O'Hare.  Some bursts of downpours, but winds seemed the biggest problems.  Just by chance a for-real local stormchaser got caught in the storm in his car.  Pro pics and reports on FoxNews channel.  Again, I repeat, many funnels reported.  They did close ORD of course, they moved thousands and thousands down to baggage level.  That made for some herd pics, but glad to report no riots/difficulties.

Which leads me to the third area with numerous reports - the Loop and waterfront.  All the tall downtown buildings, for obvious reasons, appear to be well-covered with cameras.   Because of their locations, heights, and possible functioning they have many stunning, scary, telling stories of the events that took place.  The photos themselves, no narrations, should be printed in a book collections.  Eventually the front blew out over Lake Michigan.  One thought I had was for anyone caught out on the lake.  It was such a beautiful day - contrary to the predictions.  That is not unusual, even predictable, for local weather people.  They have a built-in excuse for being off sometimes.  Lake Michigan and moving air (winds) have caused many alibis and gray hair for weather casting in Chgo. 

At one point that morning, after a couple hours, being tired out, I decided I'd stop working the yard and just clean up and enjoy some iced tea and watching my birds.  As I finished the shower I got a call from niece - the first of many - ALL BAD.

Good news just on the news - no reports of serious injuries or deaths.  Big area as I think about it.  North Shore to Calumet City (NS) about 30 miles and Will/DuPage County to Lake Michigan  (EW) about 25 miles IMHO

Do you have anything to add tsk?

Lori - Love the cute gifs in your post yesterday and all the yummy goodies! Thank you for hugs. :)  Happy that Destini is doing well. :)  Sad to hear about how some of the members in your family are reacting to your Grandma going into a nursing home.  Thoughts & prayers for you and the family situation. {{Lori}}

Tsk - Good thing you do what you can in trying to make room in your garage - sounds like quite a chore! :o   Most men just like to keep things in case they 'need it' someday! ;D

Puff - You have lots of great memories of being with your Dad & your brothers with those muscle cars!!  You even helped work on them - great experience!!  Thank goodness you have a good & safe set up with your garage door /code.  Take care and stay safe {{Puff}}.   Take care too with the weather in your area.

Bazi - I hope today is a little better for you - feel better soon. {{Baz}}

Clynn - Fun pics of the Munchkins - especially love the one with Bella & her tomato  :)   All the stuff in your 2 car garage! Lol!  Love the Wild Heart Ranch pic, and love the Decorah pic! ;D   Wow, a lot of special stuff/collectibles on your shelf!!

Tsk - Good you are getting plenty of rain - I too, love to check our rain gauge during times when we have rain. :)  I don't care for thunder tho. ::)   Just read what you said about tornados, so sad for the damage and all the folks it may have affected.   So wonderful all that you do for the Monarchs. :)

Phyl - Just read that you mentioned Jim checked on the egglets and they are all still fine! :)  :)   Cute 'Log Cabin' anniversary syrup container!

Oldguy - Thank you for links - always good stuff!

Hi Tig!

Lani - Hope you are managing to stay indoors and keep cool - our local news showed Phoenix early this morning and it was not yet 7:00am, and temp was already 93 or 95? :o  I know you don't live in Phoenix, but I'm sure your town is very hot too.  No wonder when you & Sadie walk, you usually head out at 5:30a!

Kb - Great pic this morning!  If you decide to go for a walk - hope Ollie enjoys - I know you always take lots of water with you! :)

LisaG - So sorry to hear about Sunset Dreamer - I did not know her, but her name is familiar. Sending thoughts & hugs your way. {{LisaG and any others who knew her}}

Puff - I am happy to hear that you did no more dilly-dallying, and got to a safe place.

Lisa, very sorry to hear of a forum member's passing, Sunset Dreamer. She must have been a lovely person, love her name. God bless her for all she's done for RRP and eagle family.

Tsk, very glad to hear you didn't have any damage .... Congratulations on your monarchs and future butterflies! August is just around the corner, and I love seeing them visit my purple cone flowers.

Kb love the cat!

Phyl, it's a sweet pic of an zonked out Anthony sleeping on his comfy nest... I missed 2 on test.

Oldguy, thanks for posting warning about grape jelly. Not that I put it out because of the ants we have here. But, it was info I did not know about it's dangers for a hummingbird.

Kb  :o  you posted Mr. Vivo !  I'd say he's about 3 yrs old +/-  'cuz he still has that kitten look.   Mr. Vivo is also 'Mr. Confident'.  Many thanks.
You're a 'busy bee' in your garden today.   ;)  CLynn has good suggestion for name. In the Philllipines they have/ had refurbished WWII jeeps that are topless and doorless, etc. the folk call them 'Jeepnies'  Dan told me ages, ages ago. Can't swear to the spelling though.

Tsk   (ditto  CLynn, Puff and the others)  heard about all that tornadic activey in you neck of the woods  last night and this AM on FNC. Whew! Close enough. So happy to know no serious damage.
Cute Teddy this AM. Thanks for the Monarch Report---sounds great.  Keep us up to date, pls.

Lisa pretty cuppa this AM. If you pass CLynn on the road---you gals should 'honk-honk' each other.  ;)   Tks for the news on  'Sunset dreamer', so sad when an eagle passess. :'(

CLynn more pretty daisies this AM;   :o looky at what you have on  your cabinet tops!  ;)  Rather comforting with Mom D still about and here are all of us---I've been there for 10 of those 12 years.  :-*   Look at what Ai Bao  has !  Gosh so very tiny, too.   That Thai meatless Burger King burger  :o

{{{Puff}}} many thanks for your weather report; relieved that you could bee-line to a safe place during your storm and you're okay from that; hope this is a good day for you.

Hi Karen

Hi Tig

Lani lovely Iris from Hellgate; you know this gal didn't miss a one on that Baby Boomer quiz !   So 114F in valley (a once ocean's floor) Gosh I miss those 114F days in the Mojave Desert---warmth, warmth and more warmth.  ;D

PUFF  Your report was excellent.  It covered a massive area - if not tornados - the winds -esp in the City proper where nothing major hardly ever happens re: tornados - Snowstorms are another thing  LOL

LANI   Love that pic of Iris  ;D   I didn't realize you were at 5,000 ft - like Denver  ;D  " mile high" cities.  Boy, you only missed two on the test like CLYNN and you are both younger than I  LOL  ;D   Sweet baby sloth on Mama

Tsk, I missed the answers of games that were not heard of in Hawaii. Also, I enjoyed reading and remember my history. Other than that, never owned a pair of roller skates roller or even roller skated in my life nor attended a sock hop. We wouldn't call school dances a sock hop. That I learned from watching American Bandstand, Leave it to Beaver, Captain Kangaroo or other children shows from the Mainland. :) I do enjoy doing the quizes.  :)

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


(((Lisa and Puff))), I'm so sorry to hear about sunset dreamer's passing. My condolences to you, and all who knew her. Lisa, did you have ATF plans with her again this year? Maybe you can leave some kind of memory memento of her somewhere in the Decorah Hatchery area while you are there. Even something small would be a nice way to remember her there. There's a thread in Forum for obit links and memoriams on the General Information, Announcements board. Maybe someone will share a link to her obituary in that Forum thread, if they find one.



Continuing thanks to all of you who have sent me hugs and wishes to feel better.  :-* :-* :-*  Today, I think I am noticing some small improvement in the discomfort level... so that's a good thing, and I hope that means that whatever triggered this flare-up may be starting to dissipate. I hope.   ;) :)


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Have a great time at Road America. When my husband was racing with SCCA we visited Road America several times. It’s beautiful.   Are you staying in Elkhart Lake?  We would stay in Sheboygan and drive to the track each day.  Some very good restaurants in Sheboygan. Have you visited the Kohler museum in Sheboygan?  The bathrooms are something else. There are photos online.

Hope you both enjoy yourselves and have a great time.

LANI   LOL  If you only knew how many of those I guessed at.....  Was lucky to just get 5 wrong - Never heard of some of those games or that crazy looking tool... ;)   What a beautiful Manaaki story - Well fed and cared for.  should do well.

Lani - Glad that Mike gets a break from traveling to the Valley this week!  I didn't realize you live in higher elevation - that is a good thing during these heated summer days!   Cute pic of Mama sloth and baby sleeping. :)  Beautiful pic of Manaaki's wings!

Oldguy - That is a good warning for folks who might be setting out stuff they shouldn't for hummers.  I have always ONLY set out the usual sugar water.

Phyl - Love the sweet RIP post for Sunset Dreamer.

Tig - Have a fun and wonderful weekend!! 8)

Bazi - I do hope you are starting to feel a tiny bit better each day. {{Bazi}}

Weasel - Great to see you Weasel!  Good info for Tig & Camper  ;D

E4E, thanks for your hugs. I wish I could say I have been feeling a little better each day.  BUT!  ;) Today I DID feel a tiny bit better! Yay! ... for the first time I could say that since this flare-up hit.  Meanwhile, Wimbledon!  ;D  Your visit with your friends, and the yummy tri-tip sandwiches and potato salad meal with them, sounded fun and tasty.  :)

Phyl, thanks. I have posted a tiny bit each day, but only briefly - it's painful to use the keyboard.  ::)  It'll be better soon. Nice pic of your 3rd clutch of the pretty bluebird eggs.

TSK, thanks.  :)  Glad your place was spared any storm damage from all the scary tornadoes and storms that blew through the Greater Chicago area yesterday!


That's all, folks.  :)  Stay safe, and sleep well.  :)

Phyl, I need 'Got Junk' to stop at my house...when Ed is out of town! When Kay's sister first came after Kay passed she had 'Got Junk' to pick up the stuff Dianna and I had bagged, mainly the food and trash. When they were ready to leave she asked if they could take the piano. Yes, another $225, and then the large lift recliner. Yes, another 65. That was the $726 load. Five more dumpsters for a total of $1395. Talk about junk... Your junk I would not put in the same category!  ;D ;D  Love your Happy Weekend pic! Thank you for the candles for Honey, she continues to hang on, eating and sleeping and using the litter box...

Lani, I bet the 10 degrees lower you have makes it more bearable, plus you have a lot of beautiful shade... Thanks for the Manaaki update, it's hard to imagine that she weighs more than 25 lbs now! She has been fed very well!

baz, a little better each day will add up soon...

Hope For Wildlife - Reunited!  https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/baby-ospreys-reunited-with-parents-burning-nest-1.6903059
Remember the two osprey nestlings that were saved from a tragic fire? They lost both their nest and their parents, but that didn’t stop a team of people from finding a way to bring the family together again.
While we were giving the ospreys tender loving care, the Department of Natural Resources and Renewables undertook the task of building them a brand new nest! And Nova Scotia Power built them a whole new pole – just for them!
They knew the parent ospreys were still in the area, so we hoisted a bucket up and put the little ones into their new nest. And waited. ..
And then it happened! After almost two weeks apart, at about 9PM that night the parents brought the babies a fish! The next day mom was staying with the babies giving them shade and care while dad went fishing for the family!
Thanks to everyone who helped reunite them. Because they matter!

clynn - Thank you  :-*  Love the story about the osprey's getting a new nest. If I don't see you later on, or tomorrow morning  - have a safe trip to your Mom's!

Phyl - Love your Happy Weekend pic.  Thanks for RRP post.  Jeff has decided that it is best if I don't take his work laptop.  He is off Mon-Thurs, but will still check in as he usually does when he is not working.  He said, what happens if something happens to my desktop here at home, then I will have to go in the office cause you have my laptop.  True...so I understand. 

baz - I hope you are feeling better each day.

E4E - I have my new shirts packed that I bought for the trip, and a lil gift for tsk, and that is it so far.   ;D  I do need to get busy and get away from the PC.  Jeff and I are heading out soon to get groceries and things he will need for the week, and whatever else I need to take with me.  I wanted to do all my running around today, and relax tomorrow before the long drive on Sunday.  We have ordered a dozen of jumbo steamed crabs, as our anniversary present to each other.  We will have them for lunch tomorrow.   :D

CLynn this is a 20+yr old wicker settee that has become grossly unwoven. Blah! Tis 'junk'.   Tks for osprey update/pjoptos--exciting.
Pls give your Honey a pet from me. Tks .     You'll be missed --you know.   You/Kelsey take care---toot, toot at Lisa when she races past. LOL

Tsk now why would you think I' d be eating on my front porch? LOL I don't even eat dinner out on my deck. LOL
I am known to have a 'beverage' on deck and maybe a beverage on the front porch so I can chat with my neighbors as they pass by.  That's
the sum and total.  ;)

Kb luv the otter---yes I believe they do 'pray.  ;D

Lisa somehow I was under he impression this was his personal device and not prop of his employer.  Have to agree he mneeds to keep it w/him.  Do yo have your radar detector?  ;) LOL

Hi E4E ft porch will be nice. Just might post a snap for you.  ;)

Lori  L and J's goodies look decadent. Luv the kittens. If I were you I'd make Karen pay for what she eats.LOL  ;D :-* ;)

BL thanks for sharing  Ella's obit. OMG just reading your post,  she and I are the same age.   :o

I once lost Scott in the grocery store and had the front counter grab the microphone and say: "Scott your wife is waiting for you at the cash register"....yup....he didn't think that was as funny as I did!.

Phyl, thanks for posting RRP blog about Robin's day trip. Your front porch will be a welcoming and comfortable spot to enjoy.

Clynn, wonderful rescue story of the osprey chicks on the Nova Scotia power pole. What a heart tugging moment everyone must have had while waiting for parents to return to their chicks. Reminds me of Harmon .... I spent most of the morning at the vet with Milo like I wrote you this morning. X-rays came back that the limping may be from arthritis in his hips. Now, waiting for blood work. We're looking to see why he's licking his hair off. They gave him a shot for pain. Geez the cost was high.  :-\..  I've had a candle lit for both Gunnar and Honey in our Beak Room candle room since you let us know about both pets.  :-*.  Safe travels for you and Kelsey in the morning.  :-*

Kb, love the sea otter .

Lisa, the crabs will be a delicious anniversary treat after your busy schedule before your trip Sunday! YUM! ... glad to know your wildlife cam is still running. And Pepe has been spotted.  ;D ... how is Misty?

{{{Karen and Piper}}}

Tig, you and Camper have a good time. We have a Culver's here too.... Looking forward to pics.  :)

BL, thank you for posting Sunset Dreamer's obit.

E4E - I am happy to hear there are other hubby's just like Jeff.  My brother goes to store, mall, fast food etc.  My SIL hates doing all that. 

kb - That is hilarious! 

Phyl - Nope, I don't own a radar detector, but Jeff has one in his car.  I love Culver's too.  Burgers are good, and last time I was in Decorah I had the shrimp dinner.

Lani, Milo's report so far sounds like conditions he can get meds for, thank goodness. Honey ate good this morning. I told Ed he has to keep fluffing her food up, she likes it piled up! Both cats were getting me up this morning at 5:00, and after she ate some, both of them were in the 'waiting for treats' position, and she ate her treats. Hopefully she can keep this up, at least until I get back. She is just so skinny, like Phyl says about Maggie, bones with a fur coat. The vet costs are really kind of outrageous, it was $726 when I took Honey in, that was for anesthesia, and x-ray and a tiny tube of meds. And of course the office visit and the exam and a couple of other things. Still, we pay, because they are family... Last I heard Gunner was holding his own, just not as active and having to go out a lot...  Love the Beecorns for Jeff & Lisa!

Phyl, yes, sometimes items become junk over the years and then you finally notice.  ;D  Ed's Mom had a once nice wicker set, a settee, a couple of chairs and little tables, but it sat in the garage for so long it just fell into the junk category but she still wouldn't throw it out. I think she just didn't want neighbors seeing junk in front of her house. Mom evidently has some stuff she had Becky get from the attic that she thought I might want.  I will take it home, and then I will do whatever I can with it... Beautiful Maine Coon family!  Bob!

Lisa, you have a fun trip to Decorah and at tsk's!  Jeff will survive... ;D  Oh no, poor Misty, I was wondering if that would happen. Ed will eat stupid stuff while I am gone...

Lori, yummy cupcakes for Jeff & Lisa!

SF Bay Ospreys - The SS Red Oak Victory is looking ghostly in the dense fog this evening. Rosie and Richmond's Osprey nest is on the lower right.
Richmond was at the nest for ten minutes early this morning, and either Rosie or Richmond chased off a floater briefly this afternoon. They've been a bit scarce the past couple of days.

One of my cats, Venus, was having difficulty getting in her cat tree, on the bed and other places where she likes to perch.  After a visit to the vet, I found out that she has arthritis in her spine close to her tail. The vet was every excited to tell me about a new drug which was designed specifically for cats.  It was FDA approved in early 2022.  Venus got her first shot, and it has been amazing to see the 14 year old kitty moving about as if she was years younger.  She can get the injection every 30 days, but I only take her in when it is noticeably time.  Usually about 6-8 weeks. I just have to make a vet tech appointment  and not pay for the regular office visit.    I understand they now have approved one for dogs too. The FDA link is below. It’s been a game changer for Venus.  Gentle head scratches for Milo.  BTW, it’s about $90 per injection.

Happy Saturday everyone.

BL - How is the weather going to be for my drive Sunday?

LisaG I didn't forget about your weather question.
I was just waiting to get closer to your 'takeoff' time to give you a more accurate idea of possible weather.
All possible disclaimers are to be applied to my weather prognostication .. BL and all affiliates are not liable for pop-up Nasty weather.  ;) :)   

Lisa what time are you planning on departing tomorrow ?
I know you're an early riser.
Is this your general intended route: https://goo.gl/maps/R5Yxdw9EmWwBYTsV7  ? Zoom in one click and you'll see the route.
This Google route is set to depart @ 7 AM on 07/16/23.
Are you driving straight through from Home to Chicago/tsks ?

The NWS use to have a great 'app' with detailed hourly "weather along a route" but it's been discontinued.  ::)

Very general weather for your trip:
Showers possible in your area the AM.
Rain (possibly heavy) appears to be your primary car travel challenge as you near OH,IN & IL in the afternoon/evening.
It does not appear at this time that Severe weather will be an issue.

Caveat: It is the heart and heat of summer and you're road traveling into the Midwest near the great lakes so weather can be very different from mile to mile and minute to minute.

With MANY road trip miles under my belt at this time of year I've learned a few things:
1) Always have a plan B. ie alternate route, place to spend the night etc.
2) Don't get what pilots call "I've got to get-there-itis".
3) If your tired or the road conditions are getting too sketchy stop for the night.
   Even if you have to sleep in your vehicle for a few hours/overnight at a rest stop/truck stop.
   Getting to point B in one piece is the ultimate goal. There is no such thing as being late on a long road trip.  8)
4) Turn around don't drown.

Have a safe trip, keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down.   ;D

Seather here is, same, same!  A college boyfriend , now dedeased, always said humidity was good for tge skin.  Always said, look at the English!   He may have been right but soaking up tanning rays sure was not helpful!

Weasel, thanks. For the .fDA report!  That is good news.    Vets are expensive but so are human doctors!  I think vets have to be better diagnostians as their patients cannot tell them what is hurting or tge like!  If you have a younger pet, pet insurance might be a good deal!

Hi Tig  :)

Tsk, it's good to know others are using Solensia for their cats. I had never heard of it before.  Vet suggested Gabapentin too. My old dog Bandit had that his last year. I didn't like some of the side effects. So I went with the Solensia.

BL, good suggestions for Lisa.  :)

Weasel, Solensia was the injection Milo received, cost the same. The injection was the cheapest item.. LOL. Thank you for posting the info. Vet didn't go into detail about it. I'll make sure when it's time for another shot, I will ask for a Tech Vet and not an office visit. Milo is doing much better today.... head scratches and hugs for Venus  ;D

Kb, I recognize that red ringed sun, I haven't seen it for a couple of years. Thank you God! So far no close fires.... Sorry, it is smoky again.

Clynn, so far the xray showed no serious breaks, which was my worry because he's always climbing or jumping to high areas of the house and then jumping to the floor.  I'm waiting for blood results. He is not limping as bad or licking himself as much as he did prior to the shot. So, I'm relieved so far... I eat stupid stuff when Mike is gone and since Aly moved.  ;D.   "Master of stealth"  ;D .... we'll miss you, safe travels and have a fun time with your mom.

Lisa, oh no, poor Bandit and Misty. I just read this period can last 14 to 21 days.  :-\

Good morning / afternoon Beakers & happy caturday!

Beautiful & sunny - high of 75

Lani - I didn't know Milo has an issue and you took him to the Vet.  Hope the pain shot helps - poor Milo - wishing him comfort and all the best.

Clynn - Safe travels for you & Kelsey today!  Glad Honey is still eating well  :)

LisaG - If you have a 'smart' phone and have your GPS ap on, it will notify you if there is a speed trap up ahead!

Tsk - Awe, such a cute pic of Lulu and such a perfect place for a nap! ;D   Hubby & I have our phones too, when we go into the store - especially Costco - so that we can call each other if needed!

Hi Puff  :)

Kb - Wow, that is a lot of smoke  :o   If not for the smoke it would be a beautiful picture.

Weasel - Great link with good info for all who may have pets that need the medication.

Hi Karen  :)

Tig - Sounds like a great spot to have breakfast! 8)

Oldguy - Have a fun evening @ cards tonight!!

LisaG - Safe travels for you bright & early in the morning.  Will it take you the whole day to get there, or do you spend the night somewhere?  Take care & be safe {{Lisa}}

My Mom and sis are coming over after a while, and we will be sitting out in the shade later in the back yard.  I need to get busy and put together some appetizers that I went and got at the store earlier this morning.  Going to be having an assortment of vegies, chips, tortilla chips, 2 different dips, salsa, fresh fruit, cheese & a package of sliced salami.

Beakers have a nice 'Caturday'  :)

Clynn and Kelsey are on their way to her mom's
She would like me to post the below for Lori, as Lori is having trouble with her computer.

from Lori
"Please pray for my grandma for her to be comfortable on her journey. She's doing really bad today
and it's probably time."

Dearest Lori, I'm so sorry.  :'(
We are with you in heart and spirit as your grandmother walks this journey with her loved ones
by her side. God bless   🙏

When we are at a breakfast included lodging I usually take a plastic bag (for ease because I'm using a cane) and I gather enough for each morning and store in the room fridge. Like for today, we slept in, so my yogurt and banana were ready when I was.
Gotta go. Camper needs a better angle.

Enjoy your time with Mom and sis.  Food sounds yummy!

Lani - Thanks for the info on clynn.  When she said, she was still packing and see ya later, I thought she meant she was leaving tomorrow.

 Thanks much for LORI's post..  We hold Grandma in our prayers.

KB   We have a bad air warning for tomorrow

OLDGUY   Wonder how she can let her cats outdoors when there are macaques in the area?

LISA  Lulu will be very shy with new people   ;) ;)

T40   How cute the cat and bunny.  Amazes me how any animal responds to the beat of music  ???   Have seen dead squirrel before but always watch it again.  So funny    The Most American Thing ever ..what can one say....

Clynn and Kelsey should be about an hour from her mothers house.  She said traffic was moving well on the freeway but they are now on “Country Roads”.

Lori, prayers for your grandmother that she is pain free and at peace!  Hugs to you.

Our High Humidity has again turned into a thunderstorm!   Yea!  Piper was glad to get out before it hit!   She is really a good girl and she is very sweet!

I am heading to the bedroom early.  I have Outlander taped and want to watch the latest episode from last night, and then I will go to sleep.  Hopefully, Ms Misty will not keep us up all night with the whining. 

Have a good night, everyone!

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


Tsk, Lulu really knows how to "Caturday."  ;)  Wonder if she will whiff out Lisa and discover the Bandit and Misty aromas.  ;)

Lori, prayers for your Grandma, and for you and your family. Hugs.

Clynn, hope you're having safe travels. Glad to hear Honey is eating well. Get Ed to let you Facetime her while you're gone? Have a fun visit.

Lisa, safe travels tomorrow and during your whole trip. Have fun visiting Tsk and meeting Lulu.

Puff, safe travels, and have fun.

Tig, got earplugs? Have fun, and safe travels on your return...  I SAID, SAFE TRAVELS!  ;) ;D

Weasel, glad to hear Venus is getting good results from that new med for cats' arthritis issues.

Lani, I'm sorry Milo is hurting. I hope he is better soon. Did he get an injection of the same med that weasel mentioned?

E4E, you're putting out a spread! Have a fun family visit.

Karen, that's great news that Piper is happy and doing so well. Y'all stay in the cool!  :)

Phyl, it's always nice to get the old stuff you don't want anymore out and gone.

Oldguy and KB, hope the air quality in your areas improves soon. Enjoy cards tonight, OG.

BL, hope you and Pip are having a fun and safe weekend. That "got-to-get-there-itis" has been the death of many, many pilots, including, most likely, JFK, Jr. Of course it doesn't only apply to pilots.  There have been a number of studies done on that psychological phenomenon.  I've read quite a lot about it. Everyone is prone, and needs to be disciplined in applying that knowledge to their own travels, though many people just don't get it. I lecture my Lil Sis on that topic regularly, since she travels so often, and keeps a hectic travel schedule. I had no trouble turning my plane around, or making a previously unplanned landing, to avoid trouble, or even just potential trouble. I wanted better odds to live another day. I don't pilot planes these days, but I also still apply the same principle to my other modes of travel.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D  Thanks to All the Beakers who sent me well wishes. I am better today.  :)

Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Tsk  awww Lulu all pretty  on a teal color blanket.

KB hopefully the smokey skies will disapate very soon. Still awesome photo of  Darwin, MN

Lani So glad Milo is responding to Solensa---that's what Maggie' s vet Rx'd / Tx'd.

BL " shiny side up and rubber side down' good advice for any one.  ;)  Safe travels

Tig safe return home; I think I missed Camper's photos.


Hi Bazi I see you're doing much better.  ;)   Yes! Lulu will smell Bandit's/Misty's scent. As animal scent can linger even after washing. When I'm greeting a dog/cat or any animal I always present the back of my opened hand first as those in 'the know' recommend  it as most non threatening and allows the animal to sniff you out first.
Go figure.

T40  many thanks for the Caturdays---gonna have watch them later. I'm sure the're a hoot.

OLDGUY  We should have a high AQI tomorrow.  Here's to a win tonight. :D

BAZI  I see where an unseeded woman won Wimbledon.  :o  Glad you're better - No more tennis to help distract  LOL

Piper likes all visitors!  She greets the aides and they seem to like her!  She is really a special girl!  🥲🥹
She should have been turned over to a rescue and not dumped at the shelter!  So glad they had not put her down.   We just came in and the air actually felt cool.  Out of the ne.

Baz does sound a lot better today!  Hi, Baz!
Love the col cats Lani has been posting and the one from Phyllis this am!
Eagles sure had a nice spread today,  when is your mothers surgery?

Thank you Lani for posting for Lori - Thoughts & prayers for your Grandma in that she is as comfortable as is possible, and that the other family members can come together and show some peace & harmony.

Tig - smart to take your bag for the breakfast included with your stay!

LisaG - Hubby said that when you turn 'Google Maps' on your phone, (as we do when we need directions), it will let you know when there is a speed trap up ahead and if there is a slow down in traffic!

Tsk - My sis did not make it today after all.  My Mom came alone.  We had a wonderful visit by ourselves, although hubby was nearby working on the new shed. :)

Karen - Glad that Piper went out before the thunderstorm!  My Mom's surgery is scheduled for 7/28.

Kb - Wow that pic out of Darwin, MN tells the smoke status. :(

Oldguy - Oh no, smoke in your area now  :(

Bazi - Like your good night post  :)

Tig - Glad you are so alert when driving - you never do what the other driver is going to do. :o ::)

Safe travels for all Beakers.

And he's become more talkative... oops I just read your post, and your sister wasn't able to come. Sounds like you and your mom had a good visit  ;D.

T40 thanks for videos...  smart duck  ;D ... the cat nodding their heads to the beat. LOL! little girl and her security guards  :-*... I wonder if anyone got hurt from that fireworks disaster!  :o

Tig, great idea to have something to nibble on early the next day...  thank goodness you are an alert driver.... drivers here are crazy.  :(

Tsk, it was 105 today.  :P ... and DQ carmel sundaes were on the menu tonight.  ;D

Karen, so far Milo seems to be doing much better. It's a relief not to see him limping. He still licking his fur, though not as often.... Piper seems to have settled in, I'm so happy for you.  :-*

Good night!

A mini update on GSB nest/cam
*Edited*

Quote from: STLbf on July 15, 2023, 07:17:11 PM

FYI, the GSB camera is back live this afternoon.  Several hazy views from about 3:00 to 5:30 PM.  The haze is likely from Canadian wildfire smoke, predicted to be pretty heavy this weekend over many US states.  No peregrines in sight. Few people also on the riverboat or at the locks.

What a great Wimbledon Men's Final!  8)

Karen, I don't blame you, sounds delicious!

Tsk, it's going to be 117 degrees in Phoenix today. It'll be 105 here. I can't imagine Death Valley temps  :P ...  Looking forward to hearing news of Lisa.  ;D

Tig, 2 BE's  ;D. ... Safe travels  :)

Phyl, thanks for sharing LB's pics and update. I wish I was on the riverboat or cruise ship. Or is that a stationary boat like building? It's neat whatever it is.

Atlantic Puffin Burrow Cam - BIG NEWS! SCROLL TO SEE IT ALL! 7-14-2023
Our precious puffling, Duryea, was banded  by the Seal Island crew. Photos attached below of darling Dur and his new bracelet :
By all accounts, the pufflings are doing incredibly well this year. They're hardy and healthy, a welcome surprise after this wet season decimated some other seabirds (namely the terns). And Dur especially seems to be doing extraordinarily well- look how big he's gotten! Duryea weighs 405 grams with a wing chord of 117 mm, according to researchers who banded Dur.

The other bit of exciting news is that the Seal Island team and I will be doing another live event on Tuesday August 1st @ 7pm ET. We'll be talking about the season on the island, celebrating what will likely be fledging time for the puffins, and answering your questions about the puffins and other aspects of seabird/island life. Don't forget to submit your questions for the researchers here: https://forms.gle/57txw2YNh...
There will also be a live Q&A chat for the duration of this chat, so you'll have a chance to ask questions in real time, too.

Congratulations to Willie and Millie on raising a healthy, happy puffling! <3 <3

If Lisa's true to her  ETA she should be at Tsk's by now or soon. I think.

Tig arrive home safely  ;)

Lani  STLbf  and  Nora  do a great job of keeping the GSB nest followers up to date.  thanks for updates and photos of  Royal Albatross - Manaaki ' a lumbering I shall go"  ;) and Atlantic Puffin Burrow Cam  and Duryea's banding

KAREN   Piper is settling in.  Do the aides and Piper get along?

LISA  Lulu just shy but maybe like BAZI said will sniff you out?  You could always leave your bedroom door open ....LOLOL

OLDGUY  We should have a high AQI tomorrow.  Here's to a win tonight. :D

BAZI  I see where an unseeded woman won Wimbledon.  :o  Glad you're better - No more tennis to help distract  LOL

Just lost my post!  :o  ARGH!  #%$^!#@^*((*%$%#!  ::)

Tsk, Lol, let Lulu secretly visit Lisa overnight.  ;D  I'm better, but it still hurts to type. Yes, she was unseeded, but not a newcomer to that level of tennis - she had played with the best for several years till a hand injury that led to multiple surgeries, keeping her out of the game for a while, until her comeback over this past year. I think she was still in a cast 6 months ago, so it was great to see her able to play so well on the big stage. No one would've picked her to make it to the finals this year, but she had a great tournament, and played an incredible match yesterday!  But I was still distracted by Wimbledon today  ;) because it wasn't over till today. I watched the Men's Singles Championship, which aired, live, this morning, followed by the Ladies' Doubles Championship. Good matches! Wimbledon is in the books till next year now, though. Next up... the U. S. Open Tennis Tourney - which is always the last (and 4th) of the major tennis tournaments of the year - scheduled this year for Mon, Aug 28, 2023 - Sun, Sep 10, 2023.

Safe travels to all this weekend!


I'm imagining Lisa's right shoe sole with her car's accelerator pedal embossed in it.  ;D

Lani, so fun to see such a healthy year for Manaaki and Duryea.  :-*  Good news that Milo's limping less.  :-* I hope he's way better soon.


Waving to All the Beakers!


Have a good evening. Peace. SED.

Hi Beakers!

I made it to tsk’s are 4pm.  We have been chatting away, and just got done with dinner and some dessert.

I had a nice drive.  I did run into a pop shower in Ohio, but nothing too bad. 

Heading out for my drive to Decorah around 7am.

Did you and Lulu have a nice visit?  :)
A safe journey to Decorah ...

TIG  That's the fun about taking a different road home - Be sure and write down where that ice cream shop was now.  Can't remember the last time I had a malt.  ;D  Sounds like a nice route.

BAZI   Bummer on the lost post - And yes I spoke prematurely .  The tourney didn't end with the ladies finals.  Glad you are still on the mend.
LOLOLOL  You gave us a good belly laugh with the pedal embossing on LISA's right sole  ;D ;D ;D

PHYL   I cheated and ordered Chinese - diabetic friendly to make sure.  I did make a simple low sugar dessert tho and a salad to go with.

So at 3:45 CST ( ETA was 3:15) I texted LISA and asked  " Are you lost or in traffic"?   Reply " I'm coming up on the exit now.  Lots of traffic but it is moving"  15 min later she pulls in the driveway  " I missed the exit"!!!   LOLOL.   Good to catch up.  Showed her my butterfly nursery as we were sitting out on the porch and that is where the cages sit on an etagere.
Lulu has made a few appearances and sniffed Lisa and she let Lisa pet her   - More than any first time visitor to the house!!!

She was cute to watch too....  Prayers for your healing and comfort... Milo had the same Solensia shot that Weasel's cat had, and he is doing even better today.

Lisa, happy to know you're at Tsk, and you both are having a nice visit, yummy dinner, including meeting Lulu.  ;D ... Sweet Eagle Dreams. Another day of driving ahead.  :-*

Good Morning Beakers

I have been up since 4am, and woke up to Ms Lulu laying in the bed with me.  I think I have found a new friend, as she has been back and forth in the room with me a few times. 

Lani - Thanks, just glad that this day of driving is a lil shorter.  Stay cool…geesh 105!

E4E - Thanks!

Karen - The Chinese that tsk ordered for dinner was delicious.

Phyl - Yep, that one pet was a start and now she is sitting on my lap. 😂

Tsk - Thank you for letting me stay with you again.  It was great to catch up.  Your butterfly nursery is amazing.  I am glad that Ms Lulu wasn’t scared of me. 😊

I'm just thinking Lulu is intrigued by all the new and different kittie/dog scents you brought into her territory?  "Kitty, I smell kitty, where's the kitty?"

Glad for you that only the short leg remains.  Weather is good too.  But still take it easy.   Say HI to tsk for me.

Tsk, I think I always buy t shirts too big! I do BUy the dressier kind to fit.  I have two narrow but deep walk in closets with clothes of all sizes!  I am getting rid of the bigger sizes as I lose some baggage this time but I enjoy shopping in my closet!  Lol.  When Mickey was here and I was in the home, she soent hours rearranging my closets!  I had them arranged by size and she grouped them by color and covered them all with whire plastic!  Very lovely looking arrangement!  They Would have been easy to haul them off to a resale shop or Goodwill!  However, I came home!  It took the hhworker, I dubbed the closet lady, and me days to rearrange these spaces almost back to where I had things!
Was out on the porch with coffee and humidity while Piper strolled around the yard!  Stayed out about a half an hour!
Lisa, safe travels this am!  Thought Lulu would warm up tp you!   The cat whisperer!  How is Jeff doing with Misty?   Hope she doesnt sneak out looking for an intact male!  Ooooh!

Have a good Monday beakers!

BL ;D

Karen, I like shirts/blouses that fit big, especially in the summer. I don't like fitted clothes when I'm hot or working outside/inside. And I especially love big cozy tops/sweatshirts in the winter... Piper is loving her territory now. Aly's dog Dewey is slowly settling into his new home and outdoor area. I guess he's past the gloomy stage.

{{{Tsk and Lulu}}} Lisa the cat whisperer...

Phyl, love the dog shames! I just can't imagine that big boy making it through that tiny dog flap. I think he wanted to make the hole bigger!  ;D ... Shannon had a dog that liked to eat her carmex lip balm.

{{{Lisa}}} thanks for your update. I bet Miss Lulu could sense and smell Misty and Bandit on you and your things.... I wonder how the boys back home are doing with hot to trot Misty?  ;D. I'm so excited to read of your Decorah adventures. I've never been, so I live through others experiences. Please give Puff a hug for me  :-* ... safe travels.

Hi Tig thanks for checking in---so glad you/Camper are safely home. I really enjoy your posts, esp of your 'outings'. But, you and KB inspire me
to be a better 'gardener'.

KB  I was just watching 'Outnumbered' on FNC w/ Harris Faulkner. She, Kaylee, Tommy Lauren and guest Sen. Jason Chaffetz (ret)(in center seat) were discussing the Luke Combs does Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" (you posted linkyesterday). The ladies had lots of interesting facts and talked about how much they enjoy Tracy's song and Luke's new rendition.  ;)  Pets to Ollieman.

BL that AQI rating for Decorahland will be welcomed to the influx of Eagle Fans and afficionados. I posted this AM that our AQI is 169  w/ primary pollutant PM2.5 58 ug//m3. Whatever that last part means. :-[  that I don't know.     Anyway,  it's all because of the Cumberland Basic and Nashivlle being inside. It'll never go away and all her suffer w/ allergies and nasal / eye irratations.   Et, moi aussi!

Lani glad you enjoyed the dog shames. I thought Mondays could use some levity begining with the pooches.  Many thanks for update on Aly's Dewey. Glad he's adjusting to new home.   Many tks for Dr Roger's Bear Study,  Guy the Bear's age is showing up in his 'white ' hairs atop his head  for sure.  Be nice if Lynn could get license for those radio collars so he / staff can track Old Guy the Bear.  Pets to the Boys and Sadie

Karen luv how you organize your clothes closet.   Wish I had that much time and the help.  Pets to Piper

Wildfire smoke causes beautiful sunrises.  Newman, I believe, is in the area still, and likely perched high above the locks this morning for several hours.

We've got a Tig safe back in St. Paul MN.
We've got a Clynn safe at moms in IN.
We've got a Lisa safe to Tsk's for leg 1 and almost to Decorah for leg 2.

Are any other Beakers road tripping at present ??   :)

Christine Larson posted this pic 3 days ago.....we have much  better air quality today!..yeah!

Phyl - yes, and Tracy gets all the royalties whenever the cover song is played by him...none goes to him.

BL - my thoughts about timing as well...Lisa should be checking in 'bout now.

Well, got all to do list stuff done.

Yah!..Chris walked with Ollie and me this morning...just one block shorter than my typical walk.
He's in PT ya know, and his therapist told him his goal should be to work up to 30 minutes a day/6 days a week....our somewhat shortened walk took 20 minutes....but, but, he's a hurting now!...I'm encouraging him anyway....we have a treadmill inside as well. But, I'd much prefer he walked with me and Ollie when the weather is nice especially. I told him to rub some OTC lidocaine on himself....he's trying it..gotta stay on the course.

Also, I watered everything, and pruned my so sad looking arbors of much dead growth from April 1 ice storm....intention is to have Andrew out and tie them up...they are still splaying badly but I decided in order to do that I needed to get as much dead outa them....there are 3-4 trunks per tree, and I bought special stuff to tie them to the strongest trunk. I may actually need to stake to the ground somehow and then tie the other trunks to the strongest one?....
I had an arborist out who for 750 smackers would have done it but he didn't recommend it...he suggested a tear out and start over.....thousands for that job but Andrew said we could do a DYI get by.

Sunny - high of 73

Karen - I too have Decorah apparel that I love wearing.  When Tig & Camper came and visited back in 2018, she brought me a Decorah T-shirt that fits perfectly and I hope to go to ATF one of these days and take that T-shirt with me!  I have several pull-over sweatshirts too.

Lani - I see that AZ is still having record heat  :o  We are actually cool where we live as we are only about 11 miles inland from the ocean.  The more inland folks live from our area, are getting temps 20 or more degrees hotter than us.   Hope you and Sadie are continuing your early morning walks  :)

LisaG - Glad you had a wonderful visit with Tsk - I bet it was a really fun evening catching with her!  ;D   Stay safe in your travels. {{LisaG}}

Puff - Are you driving to ATF?

Kb - You always seem to keep busy out in your yard! ;D  So happy that your son walked with you this morning and good for him too! :)

Phyl - Like the doggie shames - those Beagles are so cute!!

Tsk - So happy for you & Lisa having such good quality time together!  'Cat Whisperer' - love it! ;D

Tig - Good to be home safe & sound and glad you guys had a great trip! :)

Lani - Interesting Bearstudy - Old Guy (the Bear) is about 26 years old! Wow!  Glad that Dewey is settling into their new home - sometimes these things take a while for our furry members of the family! ;)

Beakers have a nice afternoon  :)

Good evening Beakers….

I just returned from the hatchery again.  I wish I could just pitch a tent out there, cause I hate leaving cause I know I will miss something.  Last thing I saw this evening was an osprey flew in from the east to fish the pond. 

Puff - Lulu did warm up to me after she got in the bed with me.  She was following me all over the room. 

Kb - I did do the mobile check in from my phone, so I could spend more time at the hatchery. 

Phyl - It was a nice drive from tsk’s to Decorah.  A lil construction on the way, but nothing that I had to stop and wait for, and the best part…..I didn’t get lost getting to Decorah this year!!!  Great cam pics!

Tsk - if this lottery tickets are winners, you might be seeing me soon. 😂

Karen - Bite your tongue….Misty better not try to find an intact male!  Jeff says, the whining, rolling all over and rubbing in Bandit has stopped.  Bandit is thankful!

BL - Thank heavens all the devices change automatically!  I was actually surprised the the temps was really cool  this morning.  I might need to find a hoodie.  I hope the weather stays good for my trek back home on Sunday/Monday.

Tig - Welcome home, glad to hear you made it safely. 

Lani - I sure will give Puff a hug from you!

E4E - It was so much fun to catch up with tsk. 

The pics I took will have to wait till I get home.  I’m about to throw this iPad out the window.  Jeff promises he will buy me a laptop 😂. I might have one by the time I get home. 

Lulu laying on the bed next to me

Tig good idea you to take it easy. How thoughtful of Camper's  son to mow the grass.  Hope Oso doesn't get a bee sting-


{{{Puff}}} so true. Sounds fun. Though, I"ve never driven solo across county in my life.   LOL.   But, who knows?   Stranger things have happened.  ;)

Lisa if I know cats after 45 yrs with them---Lulu looks like one smitten kitty! No surprize ,if you could pack her up and motor home with her.  And she'd never  miss Illinois. LOL
The Beakroom is all a chatter about your ATF journey this year.  I'm so looking  forward to your photos and comments.  It'll be a treat. Do take care  we're all expecting you back as much as Jeff, Bandit and Misty. 

 The political powers that be warned us in the Spring and ...We've had our 3rd rolling black out for the summer, today . Been without the 'juice' from about 11:30 am to a;bout 5:20pm. It was hot inside and just sat downstairs with ice water, as it's cooler. Regardless how I tried, couldn't convince Maggie to let me carry her downstairs. Poor baby.
 I called Jim about 3pm with the bad news---he parked his car in the drive way. Moved it back in garage after he home and  showered.   Did McDonald's and put the pork loin chops and all  back in fridge for tomorrow. Would have been too late to cook with his 9pm bed time for a 4AM rise.

I don't know what kind of glassing accouterments you all have with you but give the object of the namesake ATF the utmost apogee of Eagle viewing etiquette.

It is deservedly to be extended to DH2.

The very less human interaction that DH2 encounters is best for it to become a true Decorah BE.

If you position your self here 43.2750 -91.7822 at this little gravel pull off just off Trout Run Road at sunrise you should be able to glass DH2 even if she's up on the Trout Creek Bluffs.

SED Karen and Piper I thought about a malt around noon today!  ;D

Eagles,I hope your sister is feeling better today.... as far as our weather, it was 105 by 2pm and then temps started dropping by 3pm we had a quick hail storm followed by 5 minutes of rain, and then terrible humidity. It's now 77... monsoon season has arrived!  ;D.. I wish it had rained a little longer. It was great while it lasted! Take care.

Lisa, awww {{{Lulu}}} she is gorgeous! Love Tsks quilt, it looks handmade. My late MIL and I made a Queen size quilt the double Wedding ring pattern for her bed... glad Misty is calming down, I'm sure the boys appreciate it.  ;D .... I wonder where the osprey nest is located... too bad about the ipad. Is there an Apple or Best Buy, even a Walmart nearby?  ;D ... sleep well tonight, lots of photo taking moments await you tomorrow!

{{{Tig and Camper}}} feel better soon...   and I hope Camper's son feels better too after the bee bite.

BL, great capture of DH2.

kb, stunning photo by Larson... congrats to Chris, working hard on his pt and walking with you and Ollie. continued prayers and success.

Tsk, thank you for the update on Lisa's travels... DH2 flying to nest! what a fun welcome to Decorah moment for her!  ;D

"Pretty Woman" in this Black and White Song also showcases JD Souther...he's the guitar player with the beard standing next to Elvis Costello.
A great musician in his own right, but mostly known for his prolific songwriting.

I was a passenger in his 3 day old Lotus heading up Sunset Blvd when a drunk Australian diplomat driving the wrong way hit us head on....changed the direction of my life.....Don Henley was following us in another car behind us.

In recent history, he played in Minneapolis and Scott and I went to his smaller venue concert and met with him afterwards...he now drives a Volvo!

I don't recall ever seeing a RWBB so insistent on getting at one of our eaglets!  and DN2 seems to be merely ignoring life and going on with whatever.   Won't be watching for a while - too aggrevating.  There were times when multiple RWBBs would dive at our little ones, even at M & D, but this one seems to have  a vindette and has penetrated the feathers.  Can't watch any more.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

64 heading to 79.  dew point 58  Mostly sunny  :)

KB   I think Swallowtails go for the dill.  . They look alike.   Pretty sure monarchs are exclusive to milkweed  ;)https://texasbutterflyranch.com/2013/07/07/caterpillar-quiz-how-to-tell-the-difference-between-monarchs-and-eastern-swallowtails/
That car crash you were in gave me the willies.  :o :o

LISA   Cute pic of Lulu.  After you left, she went upstairs looking for you  It had to be that as she never goes up there during the day  LOL

PHYL   Aren't rolling blackouts dangerous esp for those relying on electricity for their medical equipment?  I suppose they must have back up batteries?

BL   Plenty of safe places to view the hatchery eagles.  Love James Taylor and Yo-Yo Ma

LANI   Just my bedspread - would love a quilt tho  LOL

PUFF    I think someone has a photo from one year of RRBB riding on one of the eagles.

tsk - that makes sense....these gardeners that are posting without pics may not know what they are looking at....
That is such a cute story about Lulu and Lisa...either you may have to have Lisa visit you and Lulu more often or or or....LOL get Lulu another cat friend?

BTW, when you are in a vehicle that is crashing one goes some other place...your mind can't process it so for me it was like watching a movie...only later did I "feel" it...My experience was confirmed by a Cardiologist friend who said that always happens...

Luv Lavin Photog's damselfly. Reminds me of the kitty version many of us have in our Pinterest repertoire.

Good morning Beakers,
 
I am trying to type this from my phone and it isn’t easy.
I have been at the hatchery since a lil after 5 am. I missed HD fishing the pond I am told. Guess that means I need to get up a lil earlier tomorrow. 

Puff - I think that RWBB is in love with DH2 lol. Geesh, what a pest!

BL - It is very hard to see DH2 in the tree. Yesterday, I had to stand on the gravel in the road past the curve you have marked a lil to the W. That is when the kid was on the N side. If you stand on bridge, you cannot see kid at all. If you are at kiosk you can see HD above the cams perched. There is another perch that they sit on that I could see HM on this morning. It is right above the cams

tsk - awww, give Lulu a pet for me

Kb - love the damselfly

Lani - tsk’s home is beautiful and I loved the bedspread too!

Fog - clearing and warming to 70.

Puff - I hope to make the trip to ATF one of these years - I can only imagine how fun the trip would be!  I'm sure you are quite busy right now!  Hope you are feeling a lil better. {{Puff}}

Tig - Oh no, that bee sting - hope Camper's son's ankle is a little better today.   Looking forward to Camper's pics  8)

Tsk - You are so wonderful with all you do for the Monarchs - hope you don't get stung by any of those bees.

LisaG - So exciting to be right there at the Hatchery!!  I just know you are enjoying every minute of this trip!! ;D

Phyl - Did you ever find out why the power went out?  Hopefully all is completely fixed now!  Beautiful cam pics - love Anthony's profile pic!

Lani - Yaaay for the rain you had - even tho it only lasted about 5 min!

My friends in Springfield have a back up generator!  No propane heat and a .  It runs on gasoline. lets all fight climate change!  Wildlife depends on us. You

Wonderful pictures Lisa!  Midwest corn is the best!  I miss that but I would miss  the bounties of the sea if I lived in the Midwest!  Every place has its special things!  Enjoy the early am views!

Had workers here all day yesterday repairing my gate to the back yard,  they actually had to replace some of the posts that supported it and part of the attached fence.  Big job but they got it done!
Yard man just left!   Thinking of changing companies.  He broke the gate and Pioer got out.   Got her back without a chase!  I was lucky and got the man who fixed tge gate in the first place back and it is now repaired!   He thinks they hit it with the mower.  Have hired a new company!

Lori, what is tge word on your grandma?  Thinking about all of you!

Hi guys :) thank you for your sweet and thoughtful prayers for my Grandma... she is doing much better since they cut her meds in half on Sunday.  Now they might be moving her to a new nursing home which is not the best thing because there have been issues there. All I can do is tell her I love her and continue to ask for comforting prayers and to bring a smile to her beautiful face...  I appreciate your friendship and the prayers are much needed.  Thank you dear friends. take care. prayers and hugs for all! ((beakers)) special thank you to Clynn & Lani for all you do! Love ya, Lori

E4E/Tsk  'Rolling blackouts' power outages whatever one wants to call them... Most folks here anyway,  have their own generators ( as do medical facilities). In Nashville anyway, if one uses propane for home use/heating then they can have a  backup generator. After all electrical backup generators don't make sense if there isn't any 'juice' to run them.  LOL
Our mayor is an  ::)  and we have an election primary going on right now.
  The whole 'rolling blackout' was spurred by the EVs , etc. and fears of power grid issues several months back. So it seems the national  political powers that be , felt all this was necessary...for some of us.

Lisa tks for the Decorah update/photo.

Tsk yes. Pretty quilt of  yours. My late mother did loads of quilting. Over the decades I've use them and not so prettyany more. Cats are unintentionall 'hard' on them. IMHO

Nice to see you Lori and some good news for/about your grandma. Too bad they want to move her to that less desirable home.  Prayers continue. Sweet post today.  Luv the puppies/kittens. And, yes Lani/Clynn do alot here. :-*

Whew....I painted 90 rails...yes, I counted them!...and the top rails of the lower deck...took me about 2 1/2 hours...have the top deck and step rails to go.

My super gloss exterior paint gets real tacky fast esp. in the heat so this will be an all summer off and on project for me...glad I started though as it gets me going...just have to watch myself with the "get to my destination" thingy real fast purported for Lisa driving!....I'm sore now.

Lori - doesn't help, but nursing home care is a disaster everywhere now..esp when hedge funds buy them and too few employees...The Star Tribune in Minneapolis did a 5-7 day expose on the issue here a decade ago.
Having an advocate nearby is the key..

Phyl - yes, nobody denies the climate is changing, it's the current solutions that are the problem...
Only fairly extreme conservation will help imho...the rest of the ideas will create more problems than we already have and we aren't ready for the transition.
Hope you get a needed change in your elections.

Discussion about issues seems to me a Democratic process like free speech.....no?...debate is always better than no debate...I just don't see the politics...unless peeps are reading between the lines?
That is another story.....imho..

Good Afternoon Beakers

E4E - It is very exciting to be at hatchery.  I met a nice lady today who will e attending the event for the first time. 

Karen - Thanks for kind words on the pic.  I agree with you, every area has special things about it. 

Lori - Thinking of you, and continued prayers for grandma!

Tsk - Yes leaves are very thick on the nest tree, and surrounding trees.  My legs and feet are tired.  I have walked 8,000+ steps today, and that is only in 3.5 miles from each side of the nest. 

Phyl - Just posted some of my pics from the cell in the Decorah thread.  Have to wait till I get home to upload my camera pics.

Kb - I bet you are sore from all that painting.

Baz - Waving to ya!

Dearest Lori, good news, I understand your concerns about the nursing home. As you say, All you can do is tell her how much you love hrt, be thankful to her for all the love and precious memories that you both have shared together. Your presence gives her more comfort, joy and a smiling heart than a hundred prayers. And you know you always have our prayers, love and friendship. God bless your grandma and you, for you both are going through difficult times.  🙏

Good Afternoon Beakers!

I had a rough start this morning. Sadie and I left early as always for our walk and joined our hiking group.
Then a rabbit ran in front of us and before I could prepare, I was flying over two dogs and smack into the sidewalk.
I hurt my hand and knee and pride... But, other than that all is well and so is the rabbit!
Two of my fingers on my left hand sort of jammed and knuckles are swollen. So typing is taking longer. Left knee is swollen,
but I'll live.  ;D ... And our internet was done 4 hours today. It's back on for a bit (on/off). I guess there are repairs being attempted a couple of blocks
away at one of our community substation or whatever you call it. They've been working on it since 7am.

Mike is coming home a day early, he may need to live for California in a day or two. In the meantime, he's doing the Costco/Trader Joe run in Scottsdale
for me before he returns home.

Oh God, internet keeps going on and off. I'm cutting and pasting this post.  :(

I'll catch up with everyone later.
Take care and watch out for rabbits!  8)

TSK  I recall a pic of Mom on the maple tree and a RWBB sitting on her back. 
What's going on today was BB harassment.  Seemed determine to pull out a tail feather and had a spot picked out between HD2's shoulder where he just sat and kept picking into the same skin area.

I did, I switched to watching news on TV.  When I went back about 1 1/2 hours later there was no RWBB to be seen anywhere.  Don't know, didn't  see what happened.  I was outside til after 3, just tuned back in.

(((LANI)))   Nothing is broken - thank God and "no animals were injured in the filming".   Hope you got some ice on those knuckles and knee to keep the initial swelling down - If you have an ace wrap - the knee would love it.  You may get that "hit by a Mack truck " feeling 24-48 hours after the event... :-* :-*  Does Mike have a new client in California? - don't remember a trip there before.  Hope the internet repairs are done by tomorrow...

I am sure tsk is absolutely correct in her assessment and recommendations re ice!  It will make it feel better and reduce swelling! Hugs for you!  Very gentle!

HI EVERYONE

64 heading to 83 with dew point 61 sunny

PHYL   Awesome flyway this AM  Serene and calming.  Last night our PBS channel is running a series called Iconic America.  Last night's topic was the eagle!!  Big focus on Haines, Alaska the American eagle capital of the world  Most emphasis on the origin of the symbol, its almost demise, and the indigenous people trying to maintain their life as it exists now.  The eagle is prime to their balances eco system.

Lori - Thank you for sharing how your Grandma is doing. Thoughts & prayers will continue.

Lani - Oh no! So sorry that rabbit ran out in front of the dogs.  :o   Take care and let your hand rest as much as is possible. Glad that Mike will do the shopping trip before coming home! ;D

Tig - Yumm! Tacos for you guys last night for dinner!  We had tacos for lunch yesterday!

Puff - I too don't like seeing the harassment  ::) :(   "free transportation"!! 8)

Tsk - Looks like nice temp in your area.  Wow, sounds like a great program you watched on PBS - bet it was sooooo interesting!! ;D

LisaG - I am so excited for you being on this trip!!  Stay safe and I know you are having a great & fun time!!   I just got finished looking at all those marvelous pictures on the Decorah thread - very nice!!!!  Thank you!!  Wish the RWBB would go away.


Some of you have asked how my sis is doing;  she got her stitches out yesterday and the doc told her that all looks good (no infection & healing nicely).

Beakers have a nice day.

Officer Hunter Fricke rescued this injured owl along the roadway...Highway 101 in Eden Prairie, MN..not that far away from me.....suspected a head injurey...(car?, my question) covered it with a blanket and drove it to the UofM Raptor Center....no update posted.

Gorgeous owl...although, I know we can have a love/hate relationship with them..esp. when they take the Peregrine chicks....

FLEDGE WATCH FLEDGE WATCH FLEDGE WATCH
Dur has rounded the corner on fledging age. Puffins typically fledge between 36-55 days old (depending primarily on feeding conditions), and Dur is 39 days of age today. His downy feathers are pretty much gone and he's been exercising his little wings often. The frequent forays out of the burrow are also a tell-tale sign that Duryea is getting ready to leave the nest. Cue sad violin music!

But we shouldn't be too sad- Dur is a healthy little puffling with a plentitude of tenacity and toughness.
Again, he was the subject of a rough attack from a puffin interloper this week. He, of course, weathered it well. Then, some viewers pointed out that his breathing was a little bit off- he bounced back from that and is doing just fine.

I think it's a wonderful thing that this community cares so much about our puffling. Of course it'll be sad to see Duryea leave when the time comes, but let's all take comfort in the fact that he's at a good weight, he's feisty, and he has surely benefitted from the excellent care bestowed upon him from Willie and Millie.

And on the fledging note, let's all hope for the infrared to pull through- it's reliant on solar, and we all know that's been a bit of a bear this year. With the help of the IR cam, we should be able to see Dur's last moments in the burrow. Fingers crossed for a sunny day and for working tech!

Thank you for your TLC, I'm feeling better today. I didn't realize I had hit my head until one of the walkers with us called me late yesterday to ask if I had a headache or soreness. I did have a sore/bruised spot above my nose, but I thought it was from my glasses. Which didn't break. He said they could hear my head hit the sidewalk. I don't remember that.... anyway, I was very tired last night. Sorry I missed my nightly post. Sadie and I did our usual morning walk, though it was shorter and no rabbits.  ;D

I hope you all are well. I'll be back to catch up in a few minutes. Mike needs my help... Be back  ;D

Phyl, Newman keeping watchful eye over his territory and the kids, or he would be gone. I'd like to think so anyway.... temps have been terribly uncomfortable here. Everyone stays in and shades down.... Fly away cam pics are great!

Lisa, Awesome pics on the Decorah thread. Stream is really low...   Did you see any geese/families in the low streams? Sweet doe/fawn.... poor cows are keeping still/cool as best they can.... {{{Misty}}} I hope all goes well ... Bandit will be pleased.  ;D

Kb, I hope you didn't overdo with your maintenance painting of deck rails and other things. 90 rails  :o... Great rescue of the coyote by brave man.... You and Chris rest today, take care  :) ...... love the Blue whales..... Wonderful rescue by the officer, I hope the owl's healing goes well. It is big and gorgeous! 

Karen, what a busy day at your home yesterday. Gate/fenced repaired, Piper escaped and thankfully returns,

Tig, 5 hours is hard work. You had a successful berry crop. How much do your prune raspberry bushes? Do you fertilize it after pruning? Will it bloom again before winter?
I'd never had fruit bushes. Aly was very excited about moving to Oregon because she could plant a berry bush or rent a home with one. I hope you're resting today.  :) I just read today's post, I hope you and Camper enjoy the movie....and I'm fine, thanks  ;D ....  I forgot about Le Tour.

Tsk, I put ice on the knee yesterday. Fingers/knee is much better this afternoon... I'll have to watch the PBS doc on eagles, it sounds like something Mike would enjoy too.
Happy birthday to Barb and Jean, enjoy your visits.

Eagles, Great news about your sister! Glad she's doing well and everything looks good. I'm happy for you and family.  :-*

Storms coming in... will see
Lani... our berries hopped on our car when my parents were up north in the 50s. Lol. They bloom once. Since they try to take over the earth, I prune them all back a bit and clean the ground some and look for weeds and errant tree shoots. I prune this year's canes that fruited down to a couple inches. It is a two year cycle where the canes that did not fruit this year will do so next yr.
Mission Impossible was very good. Not much gore nor sex. Plenty of action and some comedy. I just hate giving money to Mr. Cruise however, knowing where it will end up.
Anyway... we stopped at Panda Express and got home just before the weather.

Good Evening Beakers

We had a high of 85 today - forecast shows 15% chance of rain this evening, but radar is showing much hope.  I see that KB should be getting some sprinkles at least, but the good rain will likely miss her location.  Mid 80s the rest of the week, but next week it is expected to get into the 90s.

Lisa/Puff - it looks like a great week for you - highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and no more than a 20% chance of rain for the week...

The volcano in Iceland has been staying typical for there - several days the past week the hiking route was closed because of gasses from the volcano blowing over the trail.  They also are having a lot of ground moss fires that are producing smoke.

My sister got 1 1/2 inches of rain and heavy wind!...must have been a pretty narrow strip of storms...she lives in the NW part of Hennepin County...lucky her.

And she watered her yard all day yesterday....maybe we just need to water more?.....LOL, those of us who keep getting missed anyway.

Heading out again..

tsk and Puff the NWS Chicago field Office has completed their storm surveys from the tornado outbreak on 07/12/2023 in your neck of the woods if your interested.

Yikes .. I don't know about U 2 but I sure don't like weather like that so close to my wheel house.
Needless to say a little too close for comfort for both of you.   :o
https://www.weather.gov/lot/2023_07_12_Tornadoes.
Click on the Tornadoes Tab for the nitty gritty details.
There were a total of 13 confirmed tornadoes in the area.

Tsk I'm not exactly sure what town you're located in but I recall you mentioning being to the NE of O'hare.
I generally use Park Ridge as your location because the town next to us is of the same name so it just sticks in my head.   
There were 2 tracks by O'hare one just W and one just E of the airport.   :o

Puff the "Burr Ridge to Stickney EF-1" started just to the E of you.   :o
I use a great live stream camera from Midway Airport and we saw it go by in the distance to the NW of Midway. 
https://streamtimelive.com/midway/

Here's a Google My Maps I made that you can use to pan and zoom in for more details.
If you click on the icons (surveyed damage points) or tracks you can see the details of each - some have images attached.

Just got back inside from setting sprinkler. I slept in a bit because I was up late watching le Tour. Then, this morning, I kept having dreams about my Indigo puppy. It is so bittersweet.
Yep, the brunt of the storms missed us. The good news is no hail nor power outage.

Just FYI. Stay safe out there! 8)

What is the heat index?
 
"It's not the heat, it's the humidity".  That's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.  The heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.  This has important considerations for the human body's comfort.  When the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.  If the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.  Evaporation is a cooling process.  When perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.  When the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of evaporation from the body decreases.  In other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.  The opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.  The body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.  There is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).

(https://www.weather.gov/images/safety/heatindexchart-650.jpg)

In order to determine the heat index using the chart above, you need to know the air temperature and the relative humidity.  For example, if the air temperature is 100°F and the relative humidity is 55%, the heat index will be 124°F.  When the relative humidity is low, the apparent temperature can actually be lower than the air temperature.  For example, if the air temperature is 100°F and the relative humidity is 15%, the heat index is 96°F (use this calculator).  In the Panhandles, we commonly see hot temperatures during the summer, but the low relative humidity values make it somewhat unusual to see dangerous heat index values (i.e. 103°F or greater).  A full heat index chart for a larger range of temperatures and relative humidity values can be found at this link.

It surprises many people to learn that the heat index values in the chart above are for shady locations.  If you are exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index value can be increased by up to 15°F.  As shown in the table below (attachment), heat indices meeting or exceeding 103°F can lead to dangerous heat disorders with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity in the heat.

BL  You sure do have an interest in the weather!  Were you in that field? or just a hobby with you?  Maps interesting.  Yes I am in Park Ridge but in my neighborhood - I'm at the SW end of PR - there was no noticeable change in the weather other than dark skies and some rain - Amazing isn't it?

Rats! I did it again.  >:(  I told myself "don't hit your bad shin when carrying those buckets" Of course, I did. Resting with feet up and ice pack on the shin I had a bone bruise on when I did somersaults down the embankment at the lake in 2017. Camper will finish the moving of the sprinkler for me (just two areas left).
Sigh. Could be worse. I finished pruning the service berries and salvia.

Happy Day, Beakers!

My flare-up has finally flamed out.  ;D Yay!  :D


Lisa, did you get to the Hatchery early enough to catch HD or HM fishing at the pond there? Great reports and pics!  I hope Misty is home now, or soon will be, and will be feeling good as new again in a day or two.  I'm sure Jeff and Bandit are glad she is back to her sweet personality.  :) :-*

((Lani)), you took such a bad spill. Do you think you momentarily lost consciousness, since you don't remember hitting your head? I'm so glad you're feeling better!  Hope you're completely well again soon!  RC at the Falls!  :-*  Duryea is fiesty and healthy... I'm wishing for a successful fledge for another of Willie and Millie's little ones.  :-*

Tsk, LOL on Tim being on his own for dinner while you went out with the girls. Happy Birthday to Barb and Jean. Yum on those desserts! Glad those tornadoes missed you!

Karen, I didn't realize Piper was an escapee through the broken fence. Glad it's fixed and all turned out well.

E4E, happy birthday to your grandson! You said he's a teenager now - does that mean it's his 13th birthday? I hope it was good weather and fun at the beach!


Have a good evening, All!  :)

Good Evening Beakers

Misty did good with her spaying.  Jeff is a nervous wreck cause he is trying to keep her from jumping all over. 

Puff made it safely to Decorah this afternoon, and is back at the hotel. 

Lani - Thank you.  Oh my, you are still in the hot zone with those temps. 

T40 - Thanks for the info. 

Phyl - Great pics!

Tig - Hope you feel better soon.

Baz - Lol on the Hellman!  I have been to the hatchery early, but man, those eagles get up early!  They have already done their fishing before I’ve gotten there.  Bandit will be glad there will no more of that crazy whining nonsense!

Tsk - Sounds like you had a great lunch, and shared some with Tim 😀

Karen - I am so glad to hear that Piper is such a good pup for you.

I bought that Toll doll on Ebay years ago. The woman that sold it became a nun doing missionary work .And thusly gave up her posessions.

She hid f rom us  esp. Mike,  for several days only venturing out from 'neath the dresser for food, water and toilet which I kept in our
en suite bedroom.  Poor gal she walked so funny as they  used a 'stirrup'  on each of  her hind legs.   
You'll have lots to chat about when you return.   ;)

Tsk - Good question! ;D   Well, as far as today, we went to Capitola Village / Beach and there are tons of shops, but our Grandson wanted the Santa Cruz Apparel shop!  We let him choose a hoodie he has been wanting!  We had lunch at a popular place and then before we left town, he got an ice cream cone!  We all had a wonderful day.  Weather was nice - not hot at 68-70 deg.  I did choose a beautiful wind chime for myself at one of the shops, and also a package of multi scented tealight candles that burn for up to 8 hours each.

Phyl - You are correct - many things to do in Ca. - always something!! :)   Great cam pics!

Thank goodness I was wearing my straw hat. I just don't remember. To me it all happened so fast, and then I got up, settled myself and we continued our walk. Thank you, I'm fine, worked outside this morning after our walk... geez, the humidity  :P ... take care  :)

Eagles, my mother always said, I had a hard head.... sounds like you had a lovely day with your grandson.... wind chimes and scented tea lights will be nice on a lovely summer evening.  ;D ..... Regarding the propane fire: there is an animal rescue center half a mile away from the fire they evacuated animals and surrounding businesses safely. Though there is an Sky Harbor airport parking lot (where Mike would park his car) a few cars were damaged. So that is closed now.

Tgif Beakers!  Sat on the porch with a cuppa this am while Piper wandered around the back 40!  That is the extent of my weather check!   Hot and steamy!
Lani, that propane explosion is terrible!  Glad to read it has been controlled and that no one was hurt!  Glad Mikes car was no in that parking lot!
I eat a lot of salmon!  Cook it in the microwave for not more than 2  minutes with regular seasoning and it is perfect!
Oh, no, Tony Bennett has died!  Such a wonderful mellow voice?
No word on Honey!  Clynn heads home Sundat!

R.I.P. Tony. My parents were married in San Francisco in 1942 (my Dad was stationed there briefly). Of course their favorite song was "I left my heart..."

I'm late....been busy this morning...running errands, watering front and back grass and front perennial garden.....have to do the back perennials tomorrow. Stained some areas of decks I repaired with a deck repair product....second coat tomorrow.

Boy, I'm going to have to hand do all my decks next year....been 3 years.....I swear after next year I won't do it again!.....LOL...it takes me 3 weeks on my behind with a 4 inch paint brush....only way to do it well imho.

Chris walked with Ollie and I this morning...40 minutes this week with the goal of 180 minutes per week.
Goal is by the end of approved PT visits...don't know when that will be?....a ways out though I'm sure.
Chris already suggesting tomorrow walk again, which is good...he's not as sore as he was after our first walk earlier this week.

Lani - that explosive situation is awful.....they say they are investigating?.....hmm, can't be good to have compressed propane sitting in 115 degree temps no?....we shall see as they say..

Gotta get some lunch, am starving...been working since very early this am.

tsk - Oh I would love that....but mighty spendy..when i will need a new roof in the next 5 years and possibly a new furnace...both are almost 25 years old.

My front deck is composite which is what I think you meant..that cost me 3,000 dollars...and it's tiny without rails.

My lower deck is the size of a basketball court and they'd need to change out the rails and it has a jacuzzi sitting on it...my guess is at minimum 50,000 dollars just for the lower deck..they'd need to lift up with a crane the jacuzzi...no telling what the upper deck and stairs would cost..
I'll die probably before that could happen or I'd have to win the lottery....for someone who owns this house down the road, I hope they can afford that....cheaper would be to just replace the cedar boards me thinks.

I do do that when they need it at a much lower cost.

Yay! We got about 10 minutes of rain and small hail... but it was just as Camper's grandkids were bringing the half pallet of mulch bags from the driveway to the yard. And then Camper's son showed up to help too. Mulch is being distributed.

T40 shared it in the Decorah thread a few days ago. Sue and Benny are not here. They were here Monday when I arrived and left the next day.

Tig - I got nada on the rainfall.....hoping some comes in this afternoon...that's all I can do is hope.
Meanwhile I will water my perennials in back as didn't get around to them yesterday..
In essence we've gotten a big fat zero rain this whole summer....

Lisa - sounds like so much fun and better yet is nice weather for ya...so glad to hear Misty is safe and at home recovering...it will be so nice for you to go home to her and Bandit I'm sure.

Phyl - yes, my pic yesterday was of  Mexican Grey Wolf...

No staining/painting for me this morning in case it rains....going forward we will have all 90's next week and no rain predicted.
Andrew will come now Mon or Tues...to help that DIY tie up project for my arbors and if time, a few more little projects.

I need to get used to the look of this mulch. We have had cedar chips for about 5 yrs. I switched to cedar mulch because the chips tended to blow into the lawn due to being so dry from the drought the last 2 yrs.

Rest n ice, pick up this years ornament?, pick up groceries...

Oh, when the boys came: first, I thanked them, then I pointed out safety items to be aware of in our yard, like uneven footing on the patio bricks, etc., and to beware of the man-eating grape plant at the gate... LOL... they had a good laugh.

LISA   I read that article from that girl who lives in Decorah - a newbie and really enthusiastic.  Good to see.  Echoing TIG - Get a Hippy Dip this year!!!

TIG  I'm also in the same predicament with the chips - flies all over the place.  No more.   So that is how Camper does it - Nice pic.   That entrance to your garden is stunning - Can see all the loving, hard work you put into it.

EAGLES  Love the gif  ;D  Enjoy the day with your friend.

KB  So impressed with Chris's project.  Like the goal setting.  Too bad it's so dang hot!

LANI  Another cute summertime cat.

Off to lunch - Bulgarian restaurant with Tim's Dad's caregiver from years ago now.  We have never lost touch of Brian - He is married and has 1 child who is genetically impaired.  They are coming in from Grand Rapids  B&T joining us.

Lani, love the heart shaped sun glasses on this Kitty?

Lisa, peaked in on your facebook page!   Congratulations on Misty’s adoption!  Papers signed and spay completed and she is back to her pre mama stage!  Sweet girl!  Jeff can get some  sleep!  When do you get home?
Tsk, enjoy lunch!  Nice to stay in touch.

Eagles, enjoy your afternoon visit with your friend!

someone posted this gorgeous picture of Hennepin Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis...can also see the old Grain Belt Beer sign....
Scott's Uncle was the Brewmaster there....not sure of the whole story but investors bought in in the early 2000's and moved it to another city but left the historic sign..ah, the stories of childhood Scott shared ;)

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!  :)


I was at the DMV at 7:45 am this morning to get in line before they opened at 8am. I was finally getting the "Real ID" version of my D/L.  I should've gotten there earlier - loooong line, but got'r done!  I'm REAL now!   ;D

I skipped breakfast, but had some fruit when I got home. I'm famished now! So I'm heading out to fix that.  ;)


Later, Gators! Stay cool!  :D

Wow, went out to buy some collars for Piper and while on the way the sky opened up and turned black and the thunder rolled!   Sure do not have to water for for a few days!  Piper has a. Selection of collars, all red except for one I am returning to Petsmart  and it is black!  She does not like any of them and wants to go out now!  Too stormy!

A very Happy Birthday to Sue Bruhling and many happy returns!

Karen- sorry no AM photo of Anthony on weekends.  He's out there cruising the skies over Two Harbors and waiting for a "Door Dash"  ;D LOL
           Too bad Piper doesn't like her collars. Some downpour.

Lisa- sorry you missed Sue and Benny. They would have been awesome to chat with for sure. Good news for Misty on her recovery. Much happier gal for sure.

KB- great snap  you found of juvenile peregrine in the Isle of Man.  I think Eagle Duck brought us updates from Estonia and a few other nests.  Miss him. :(
       No word from insurer, shucks. Might be waiting for Monday ?  Chris  ;) now if the weather stays nice.

Lani- cute beach kitty in shades

Tsk- hope you had a nice lunch, cool that you've kept in touch so long.

BAZI  Check that off the "to-do" list.  No line for seniors?  Ours has one.

LISA  Saw you in the wave - Was that Glogdog on your right???

TIG   5 min downpour is good news - We had a 5 minutes light shower  LOL

OLDGUY  Win em' for the gipper.   What an amazing Cheetah story - record holder Mila.   Loved the water balloon piece  ;D ;D   Color to Simon adds a nice touch!

This is Willie the Walleye, in Baudette, MN...right near the Canadian Border.

I think Minnesotans can be so "cute, silly, goofy, and fun"...pick your adjective...this kind of thing happens a lot.

Phyl - don't think the city of Minneapolis would let them take the sign....it's a certified historic piece...don't know what happened to the actual brewery.....I'll have to look that up.

Not a drop here...it went poof right as it came into the  County once again.....never going to again me thinks. :D

Good Evening Beakers….I made it to my Ohio destination for the night.  I have been here since a lil after 4pm, but I did not eat lunch today, so I went to the Cracker Barrel not far from the hotel.

Phyl - Love that Pharrell Williams song, and yes it makes you want to get up and dance.  Bluebirds are precious. 

Tsk - I think in a couple more years, I am going to know how to get thru Chicago without getting LOST!
That darn GPS in my car, made me get off on 290/53, the take the first exit…I think Higgins Rd, get back on 290/53 E and I was back on 90 🙄 I was trying to get to 294, which I finally did get to.  It was not too bad with the traffic. 

Karen - That was nice of the HH worker to help you.  I left before Puff this morning, and I hope she is home safe and sound.  She told me she wanted to stop at the Popcorn place on the way home.  It doesn’t open till 10am on Sunday. 

Baz - Lol….it so happens I had a blue shirt on last year with the boat wave, and didn’t think about that till after we all waved at the cam by visitors center. 
 
Kb - Thanks!  I bought a Lotto ticket in every state on the way to ATF.  Only won $2 on the Ohio ticket.  Love grackles. 

Tig - So sorry to hear of your friend’s passing. 

Lani - I really have not chatted much this year.  I pop in every now and then, but did enjoy meeting all the new folks at ATF.  They were so nice.  Yes, Misty is mine now, and she and Bandit are getting along better.

Lori - Love the pics of Destini! 😁

BrokenLug - Thanks for the tunes. 

E4E - Thanks!  I can’t wait to get home and upload the pics from my camera.  That DH2 is an expert at soaring!

Saying good night, as I want to be on the road be 5/5:30am.

Good night, Beakers!

KAREN   That's right - my mistake.  It was the HHA who got you back to your system  LOL

LISA  Wonder if your GPS needs updating?  Truth be told tho.  I've put the GPS on when I've known where I was going and it would have taken me in a different way to get where I wanted to go, but I knew better - and in your case you were dependent.  Coming in on 90 there are glaring signs to 294 south Indiana and all it required was a right ramp .  Too bad as it was too easy.  Shoulda checked in with your local GPS agent  LOL  ;) ;)
Safe drive tomorrow! A house full of welcoming kisses await you!

tsk and Puff the NWS Chicago field Office has completed their storm surveys from the tornado outbreak on 07/12/2023 in your neck of the woods if your interested.

Yikes .. I don't know about U 2 but I sure don't like weather like that so close to my wheel house.
Needless to say a little too close for comfort for both of you.   :o
https://www.weather.gov/lot/2023_07_12_Tornadoes.
Click on the Tornadoes Tab for the nitty gritty details.
There were a total of 13 confirmed tornadoes in the area.

Tsk I'm not exactly sure what town you're located in but I recall you mentioning being to the NE of O'hare.
I generally use Park Ridge as your location because the town next to us is of the same name so it just sticks in my head.   
There were 2 tracks by O'hare one just W and one just E of the airport.   :o

Puff the "Burr Ridge to Stickney EF-1" started just to the E of you.   :o
I use a great live stream camera from Midway Airport and we saw it go by in the distance to the NW of Midway. 
https://streamtimelive.com/midway/

Here's a Google My Maps I made that you can use to pan and zoom in for more details.
If you click on the icons (surveyed damage points) or tracks you can see the details of each - some have images attached.
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1zl3McdOyZoS6NJEwApXp5vltqJm9LBI&usp=sharing

WO! BL You have no idea how good you hit the target.  Knowing where tsk and I am  "you hit the bul's eye".  Mine was so accurate that the D in Darien looks to be sitting on my driveway.   ;D

That gives tsk and me an eerie indication of how close things were.   SCARRY for sure. :o

Puff & LisaG - Have you gotten together yet? :)

Beakers have a nice day.

E4E Lisa had a spot waiting in reserve at the entrance to the hatchery and in the shade of the tree.

I did a meet and greet with those already arrived, then bought a fish sandwich at McD - then flopped out on the bed - nighty night time.  For me only about a 5 - 6 hour drive.

Every one checking up on me and others - nice to have your concerns and following.

Final thought of the day just struck me in the noggin. . .

I think we need to set a goal for Beaker/Cheerers to up our representation in 2024 for next year.  Me and Lisa - that's all?????  I didn't realize/count noses.  How sad!

Looks like we don't mind talking, posting thousands of posts.  But now we have to put our butts in the meet and greet chairs under the hatchery trees and under the tent.  Our numbers grew as well as the number count of new-born eaglets.  They didn't!

I had many of those greet me and 'Stick" and welcome us to the party.  Even changing some of my own changes ended up still being a sweet day each day, and finding newbies to talk with.  Two outstanding "finds" would be the ladies who live and used to live within a mile of me.  Trust me, that's a find; Darien only recently hit five digits.  (The one who lives here was also in the tornado zone BrokenLug; that means there were three of us in the path of those twisters you charted.)  oooohh, ohhhh howling at NN just now  --  Interruption  --  Mary Lou is still a close neighbor; Barb now maybe 15 miles west of us.  They are both also retired and former educators.  Another new friend is Laurel Womeldorf.  She recently lost her her husband Jim and lives within what used to be her walking distance of the hatchery.  John had success in inviting her to join us Satuday for our dinner (still so yummy).  Her husband and she are those super friends/neighbors of RRP who saved our season when we lost camera access.  They live across the corn field by the Decorah bicycle path.  They provided the circle, periscope views of the little ones and the nest that year.  (Someone can volunteer the year, I'm sure.)  She and Jim were also teachers.  We seem to have attracted a plethora of the ilk.  I wonder if it's the weather, water, curiosity, or friendly innate personalities???  LOL

Last of the finallast comments == apologies to LisaG for the Chicago corn maze called interstates madness.  I've lived here since 1953 ish.  Of course I was too young to drive and there were no interstate spaghetti bowls then.  Tsk I think was driving when she moved into Chgo.  Each time we figure out the combinations and quickest - they do new construction!  I'm thinking there are at least 8 interstate roads to match and mix, and they all seem to either bisect each other and/or avoid each other in the greater Chgo area. 

Seriously, we need to back up and support our new couple, faithful NN couple, even the Canadian geese, and RRP by putting in a better nosecount 2024.

Amen, Good Night, Puff

Karen, closet lady sounds like she's a fantastic help.

Eagles, it was hot and humid all day and then at 4:30 clouds came from the Northeast and we had RAIN! Our first rain since April ;D You could see steam rising from the driveway during the rain. We had an inch in an hour. It was great!  ;D

Tsk, so true about watching today's golf.... Congratulations to Brian Harman and they all deserve trophies too!

Phyl, Love Pharrell Williams song, I felt like dancing in the rain!  ;D ... great good night pic!  ;D

SED Lisa, Sometimes I think GPS is worthless. I trust a map... we have ended up in circles following GPS in the valley. Plus the gal's voice is irritating! ... I see Tsk has the same thoughts.... sleep well, safe traveling and looking forward to your pics :-*

SED Puff, thank you for sharing your time at ATF.

{{{Clynn and Kelsey}}} Looking forward to hearing about your visit with your mom.

Puff - Thanks for telling us about your visit to Decorah. I found this remarkable photo of Jim from 2013, confirming that was the year he saved our bacon! What a fantastically generous family! :-*

2015    N2    3 – D21, D22, D23    All fledged
2014    N2    3 – D20, D19, D18    All fledged. D18 and D19 were electrocuted. D20 is still alive and living at SOAR.

Mom and Dad built N2 in 2012-2013 without telling us or making arrangements before their move for cameras to be installed. ;)

Currently 698F  with   H 91F  sunny, L 68F  clear.     No pollen today.    AQI 35      



Lani- so glad you got needed rain

CLynn- hopefully you & Kelsey are home. And you're working on a morning post. Did you , Kelsey have a nice time w/your mom? 
           Do I dare ask about Honey?  :-\

Lisa- I hope you're on your way home and all's well.  Pharrell Williams "I'm Happy'. Is my all time fave!  I play it when I feel  Life's garbage. And,
I snap right out of it  every time.

Puff- many thanks for your 'report' on the ATF.  :o  only 5-7 hour drive. That's great!

T40- many, may thanks for your post of  Decorah's James Womeldorf . Great photo. Can hardly wait for that photo of D17!  ;D
        2014 was my first year in Beakroom and RRP. It was a 'hellish' year to begin
        the nest/cam watching and all.  I cried ---alot.   N2 with D20 Mr SOAR and ambasador, D19 and 18 dying like that. But, in the end we  still have D20.  :-*

3rd clutch for the 2023 Nesting Season

Sorry for the fuzziness.
The nesting box door raises from the bottom up and has to be held with one hand while the other holds the iphone and snaps the photo.
Upon occasion a photo will look like this,  regardless of the retakes.

Welcome to the world! Cane Ridge #59 and 60.

The hatchlings will often move about and thus change their hatch order. My best guess is they follow the  previous order
with CR 59 and 60 the two in the very back.

PHYL  Cute photo of comfy kitty last night  :)  Enjoyed the New Yorker cover.  :)  Good second pic of the babies  ;D

PUFF  Good report and lots of new friends for you.  When I read Womeldorf it rang a bell and you explained it - How nice to meet Laurel.

LANI  Good that Mike is home - glitches, manageable.  So happy to hear you now got some rain in this dreadful heat.  Lucky there haven't been more fires.  I too make sure I have a map of where I'm going.  I don't trust GPS  I got lost in Decorah my first trip there arriving at night in the rain using my first Garmen that had me going in circles, finally ending up at the Hatchery sign  LOLOL

T40   What a treasure of a photo!!!  Thanks for posting

KB   No kidding about Jim's son.  What a small world   So funny -the begging dog LOL

Tight AM today - Physical at 8,  drive food drive food in my packed SUV to one of our churches food pantry at 9:15, then Barb picks me up to go to my Scrabble friend's celebration of life at 10:30  Whew  See you later.

Kelsey and I got back home yesterday evening and by the time we unpacked the car I was totally pooped!  We had a good time with Mom, drove a lot of places! When we got back home we had added almost 1700 miles to the car! (the round trip is a bit over 1,000 miles) On Friday we took a trip down to the very southern parts of Illinois - Cave In Rock on the Ohio River, Carbondale, Metropolis, and we got a peck of delicious peaches. That area is famous for its peaches! Honey is skinny but still eating and getting around. It pains me to lo9ok at her, but it is also good to watch her eat her food and her treats...

Erin and Family were in NY for the weekend! They went to the Manchester United vs. Arsenal soccer game at the MetLife Stadium. He said the game was wonderful, ManU won! It was the first plane ride for the Munchkins, I will find out all about it Wednesday! He said it took 2 hours to get out of the place, attendance was over 82,000! Here are a couple of pics, it was a sold out game, he has had the tickets for months...

kb, no translation needed for that dog video!  How funny!

Phyl, a third clutch! So how many is the total offspring count? Will they have a 4th? Your pictures are fine! Cute Good Morning! Honey is holding her own, like you say, a skeleton with a fur coat... moving slower but still jumping up on the table and counter.

T40, great pic of 'the year of the distant nest' and the wonderful man responsible for us being able to have something to look at! I don't remember ever seeing that picture!

Lani, I am so happy to hear that you had a good rain! I had a list of things to do for Mom while we were there, some were technology related, and I was able to help! I repotted the huge Boston Fern I got her for Mother's day, and a couple of other plants, repaired the hummingbird feeder, trimmed the Heavenly Bamboo and several things outside. And yes, GPS had me lost and on a dirt road at one time...  ::) ::)

tsk, you do have a busy morning! I have also turned on the GPS when going somewhere I know and it tries to take me somewhere I don't know! If you tell it to take the shortest way you might be lead to a gravel road!

Puff, I would love to go to the ATF but it's the week I always go to Moms (the same week Kelsey's helper goes on her vacation). Nancy and I go occasionally, it's about a 4 hour drive from here.

Saw this on FB:

Puff - Sounds like a busy, fun, and exciting weekend you had! Thank you for sharing!

Lani - Yaaay! So happy for the lovely rain you had!!!

LisaG - Safe travels the rest of your way home (or maybe you have just gotten home)!  After you get settled back in at home, please tell us how Misty is doing - hopefully healing nicely.  Congrats that she is yours now. :-* :)  Of course can't wait to see more pics and hear more of your ATF trip!

Phyl - Love the BB pics!

Kb - Lol! That's one way to get what he wanted! ;D   Love the green turtle!

Tsk - Busy day for you - take care.

Clynn - Great to see you back! Glad you had a wonderful time at your Mom's and you sure were busy!!  Enjoy those yummy peaches  :)   Love the pics of Erin & family at the game!  How fun that the Munchkins had their first plane trip! ;D  I bet they look forward to being with you on Wednesday!  Glad that Honey was still there to greet you when you got home - hope she keeps eating & hangin in there.  Thanks for sharing the fb post 'Harriet' :-*


Tomorrow morning I am picking up Mom to drive into a nearby town (30 min.) where we will attend a celebration of life/funeral.    So, this afternoon, I am taking her to get a shampoo/haircut with the girl that I go to.  I hope she likes her, and I really think she will!

Everyone have a nice day  :)

Eagles, when it started raining it dropped 29 degrees in 15 minutes! A huge relief! I hope your mom enjoys her haircut too.  :)

Hi Clynn, Welcome home! ;D Glad you and Kelsey had a great visit, sounds like you were busy, lots of places to see and things to do! I bet she loved every minute! I'm sorry about Honey, bless her, glad to hear she's eating  :-* .... Erin and Sydney are having a great summer! Lots of wonderful memories for the munchkins. Love their family pic, they are so happy, love Talon's huge smile with his dad!  :-* ... Yum on the peaches!.... 8 different varieties of peaches are grown in Queen Creek, AZ. When we lived in Scottsdale a group of us from the neighborhood made their annual picking time in May. So good!  ;D ... oh my a beautiful bench in Harriet's honor.  :'(  I still can't believe she's gone.

Tsk, you have a busy day! I hope your physical goes well.... Your food drive is a great reminder for me to get going on ours.... prayers for your Scrabble friend.

Kb, Oh my, and the best actor award goes to!!! LOL!  ;D... Though, I think the dog getting nails clip is still the winner!  ;D

Phyl, sweet pic of BBs  :-* ... great New Yorker cover!

T40, Thank you for posting the obit and great photo of Jim Womeldorf. What a fantastic set up he had created to watch the Decorah family.

Goodness, where did Atlantic Puffin Duryea go?!

Duryea fledged last night!
Fledging is a bittersweet occasion. It marks the start of our beloved puffins leaving the island but it also marks the start of the first pelagic voyages for the juvenile puffins. They are no longer pufflings but now puffins, definitively. What a momentous and special transition!

I must say the last 2 times I bought the Driscoll strawberries at Lunds grocery they have been fantastic!
Think most are grown in California....
Cantelope and grapes have been good too....all above have been surprisingly good..

Don't even think MN has their own corn harvested yet, so I am enjoying fruit and corn from other places to date....
When winter comes it's pretty awful up here in the tundra....resort mostly to frozen vegies...some is from out of country but not as good....

I walked Ollie myself early this am...Chris is really too sore and it's getting hot, hot, hot...
Watered and weeded ever since till just now....am in for the day.....me thinks the inside of my house might not look quite as good as the outside does.....LOL

I asked Andrew since he hasn't gotten a hold of me yet if we can have him tie up the arbors and other projects next week when it's cooler than this one, and in the morning pretty please..he might have help but still. Hope he appreciates it.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

Clynn, welcome back! Glad it was a good trip. Love the pics of The Munchkins and Fam at the ManU v. Arsenal match! I watched part of it - sure I could've picked them out in the crowd, had I known.  ;D ;D  Maybe they can see part of the U.S. Women's Soccer team in their 2nd World Cup match, on TV this coming Wednesday night (8p, your time) - maybe see the start of it before their bedtime.

Lisa, Puff, welcome home. Thanks for reports!

Lisa, I say Bandit had considered Misty just a "short-timer" visitor, till now. He says that now she's "Official," she's "IN" - in The Club! Bet they even have a secret paw-shake, and need a "Club House" - for Members Only!  ;) :D :-* :-*  Congrats all around on Misty officially being part of your Forever Home now.  :-* :-*

Lani, glad Mike made it back okay, despite the glitches. Yay for an inch of rain at your house!!!

E4E, I bet your mom will like the lady who does your hair, too.

Phyl, great pics of all the hatches in the 3rd BB clutch.

TSK, you sure are scheduled up!  Seems like it would've been a good time for someone else to make that food pantry delivery this morning, instead of you... just this time. Maybe you and Barb can relax over a tasty lunch somewhere after the service.

Karen, glad the HH Closet Lady got all cleaned and in order.

T40, I don't remember that particular pic of Jim W. either, but I definitely remember his round "up periscope"  ;) ;D  pics of Decorah Mom and Dad and their newly built and discovered N2 nest, and their eaglets, that year of "no nest cam!"  It was so nice of him! Bob A. and all of RRP and their followers, were so thankful for him taking and sharing them with everyone.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D


My niece and her son (Baby Bro) recently visited the newly renovated Bird House, at the National Zoo, in Washington, D.C.  This past spring, it re-opened after a MAJOR renovation. It's wonderful! It includes indoor and outdoor exhibits with loads of different kinds of birds - and 3 different, new aviaries, designed to give insight, and the feeling, of bird environments and migration. Entering the 1st aviary takes you to the Delaware Bay world, then the 2nd aviary takes you to the Midwest Wetlands, followed by the 3rd aviary, for the feel and look of South American coffee farmland, which is a songbird aviary. It's a very immersive experience for the visitors - getting splashed, including sounds and smells (wet dog, LOL). I can't wait to see it for myself.  The link to this article is a GREAT description of it! Worth the full read! - with pictures of each aviary and wonderful descriptions of them, and the whole renovated Bird House, interior and exterior exhibit areas. The article is from this past February, just before the March 2023 re-opening of the renovated Bird House:

CLynn- 'Welcome home! Glad it was a fun.safe journey. Luv the 'Harriet' bench. Was there indication where the bench is located?   Money well spent . :)
 What an awesome experience for  Talon/Bella. how exciting for them. Family photos are great!  Wednesday won't come soon enough!  Awww sweet Honey. Pls don't cry when you look at her---she's doing well enough. Like my Maggie---she ain't going nowhere. Just love her. ;).

E4E- I'm sure your mom will lov e the pampering and feel/look like a million

Lani- many thanks for the nests updates and bear study 'Guy' and 'Alvin'. And,  The Royal Royal Albatross; Congrats to Puffin Duryea  on fledging!    So, did  Gwyyne 'fledge' ?    Oh my.Peaches, cant get enough   ;)

Tsk- hope the Doc's went well. I'm over due---long over due.   :(    The movie 'Legs' 1983 made for TV film

 Driscoll strawberries  are what we get down here at Publix. LOL Jim will most anything for that fruit. Hope Andrew will be handy for you.
Say, many moons ago I asked you about your carpet cleaner brand and how you liked it. Well, I bought two Bissells. Their 'Little Green' for pet / human accident's  and use in the vehicle.  Love it btw.  Then I also bought their upright w/ a gallon capacity esp for pet owners. Not use it yet.  But, we will as carpet needs it.  Cant' thank you enough.  ;D

Bazi- tks, glad you enjoyed the BBs  . Amazing how clean/neat they keep their nests.  Often see Mom, Dad and mature offspring toting our shell rements and  as Jim calls them, 'shit' sacs.  All Jim does at the end of season is scrub the box out with diluted bleach and let it air dry. Bingl ready for anything BBs desire.  Tks for family photo

Tig-those movie theater recliners are the best.  Enjoy

Lisa- glad you're home safely and cat litter is all you had to deal with upon return.

Glad to hear everyone is safely at home!

Phyl - you are welcome...reminds me my extractor isn't working well on my Bissell...it's old now...and lots of dog hair removed over time. I think I remember taking it apart and fixing it before...I will have to pull out the manual and/or watch u tube vids to figure it out again come fall.

Well, watching tv with Chris and once he falls asleep I'm heading down too.
Shoulder is sore, unexpectedly so....?????? staining? mowing? watering...who knows...usually a winter snow shovel thingy.

Night all.

Tig, take care

Lisa, glad you are safely home and back to reality, picking up kitty litter.  ;D

SED Phyl, Kb, :)

karen, that's nice of the vet to help with Piper's collar.... the temperature difference between here and the valley is always amazing to me. Right now, it's 73 and in Mesa where Shannon lives it's 99, the highs here today was 99.

Good night!

Phyl - Thank you  :)

E4E - Thank you  :)  Aww, how nice of you to take your Mom for spa day. 

clynn - Welcome home, too!  Sounds like you and Kelsey had a wonderful time at your Mom's.  Very cool that Erin and family went to NY for soccer game while you were away.  Looks like they had a great time, too!

Phyl, nice pic of Mr. Handsome! Love the Good Morning birds! Thank you for the advice on Honey...she is so thin, but again, she came upstairs this morning to let me know she was hungry... Glad Jim finished the mowing just before rain, perfect! The chick with the cupcake skirt! Cute!

Lisa, good luck at your appointment today, hope it's not as bad as you fear! Even so, you can fix it. Sometimes you just have to spurge! So happy to hear that Bandit and Misty are good!

Lani, love the good night pic! We are heading for 101 on Thursday, this is a hot week for us too. I will be glad when this hot spell is over! Awww, Duryea has fledged! And thanks for the update on Manaaki!

tsk, you asked about the Harriet Bench, I found pictures! Two of the benches are for Ozzie... I didn't know about them!

baz, the new Birdhouse at the DC zoo sounds wonderful, I would love to take the Merlin app in there, it would go wild! I had it on several mornings at Mom's, we sat on the front deck with our coffee and listened to the birds. Merlin identified over 10 birds most mornings. (Merlin Bird ID, free app for your phone or iPad/tablet). Lil Bro is growing like a weed, love the color of his hair!

karen, glad to hear you had your favorite helper for the weekend! Have you got that closet the way you want it yet? So glad you have Piper now!

kb, I agree, Driscoll strawberries are the best! When we were down in southern Illinois we got a cantalope from a guy with a pickup truck on the side of the road...it was delicious! And my peaches from down there are the best!

tsk, good report from the Doc! He should call and congratulate you!  ;D

The graylag goose family in Roger Williams Park. Two parents, 3 grown siblings from a couple years ago- can’t tell them apart- and 6 new members of the family. They are exotic escapees. This park is in Providence, Rhode Island.

Happy Hot morning all...

72 here but with a dew point already of 67!...going up to the mid 90's with air quality alerts to boot!
Andrew is fine with our changing the arbor tie up project to next week!

I'm heading out however to quickly mow my front yard...just near the house as I dropped milorganite fertilizer on it and it's grown way too much too fast!...moving some brick boundary of garden out further into grass to make room for plants that have spread and it actually will make it easier to mow that area.

Other than that hanging out inside today.

Prediction of isolated/ scattered thunderstorms tonight will probably mean storms heading in from the north or west will go poof over my house but then increase in intensity on the other side wreaking havoc to our east and south...so typical anyway for this year.

Yup I'm in already and done and it's only about 9:30am....
Got the front yard mowed and a row of bricks moved and I'm a sweaty pig....all the rest on my to do list is moved to this weekend!..Shoulder feels better and I'm inside hydrating now...yipes is right!

Forgot to mention: Almost the whole time I was outside I heard what sounded like a juvie eagle only to look up and see a red tail circling overhead....then more screeching....those juvenile red tails were screaming at their parents on the tower for over an hour!..it's that time of year.

 :good Morning Beakers!  Weather is same, same here as is usual for this time of year!  Hot and humid!  Air quality is good today! 
Clynn, I too am glad to have Piper.  She is very sweet and a good girl!  Her two big issues are pedicures and seasonal allergies!  Lol. After 3 days here she appears to be house trained and likes and respond to her new name!
When i refer to my vet, it is not the one who currently treats her but the one I used for 20 years with my tzus!
I was her first patient when she got out of school! She had my medical poa as she knows as much about it as anyone!  She found Piper at the shelter, had placed taffy with me and gave her to the foster parents when she and Mickey were convinced I would not ever leave the home!  I talked to her abouit Piper slipping her harness and she advised a martingale collar!   I had one on her a few weeks ago and cut it off!  Bought two more, one small and one medium!  Since there are no clips or buckles on these I was unsure of the proper size and of how to get it off!  Aha!  You pull it off over the head!   Head is smaller than the  At any rate, it was nice of her to come over!  She also looked at my labs from a few weeks ago and thought they were good.  My a1c was 5.4 and Tsk, no one is excited about it!  Lol.
I buy dricolls when available.  Their raspberries are the best!
Have to run now, bbl and stay cool!  Clynn, nice pictures!

Kind of proud how my grass looks considering our severe drought....the back yard looks as good.

Can't say the same for my perennials buried under feet of snow this past winter......maybe 50 percent bloomed this season...

Most yards in my city are dead or dying...only a few are bothering to keep it growing....that will cost much more down the road to replace/fix than watering it.

My boulevard grass is another story..from the big digs/tree removal...I will have to figure out something else next year...maybe mulch/plant sun and drought tolerant perennials instead....can't grow grass from seed in this heat.

KB... When we moved in here I had a contractor convert the lawn on our south side to a block walking path and mulch. My Dad was constantly watering that side and it caused water damage on the basement wall at one time. Much less time and money this way. I have heather and a few other perennials planted along the south edge away from the house.

My concern either way for my boulevard is it sloped so much from the roots of my now gone city locust tree..
So, I'll have to trench?...brick?..the edge by the curb or the mulch will just roll down into the street...can be done but?...the other is it's on the street with Western Hot sun..so need extremely tolerant perennials especially as I can't reach a sprinkler out there and can barely reach with my hose with hand watering!
Any suggestions for those kind of drought tolerant sun worshiping perennials?

Tig - don't worry your head...I just googled for our area drought tolerant perennials which love hot sun...this is a beginning list, none of which I've grown before:

Yarrow

blanket flower

Pineleaf penstemone

sedum autumn joy

lambs ears

globe thistle

amsonia

any other recommendations however appreciated..

Ollie man has chosen to now bark at bumble bees...and I have tons in front with the hosta flowers, joe pye weed etc.  He watches me garden all the time and thinks he is protecting me...No matter how many times I told him these are our friends, he didn't give up so I brought him inside.

Spoiler alert.   After moaning that I didn't think I would ever see any monarchs ( they did finally come) and not getting anywhere near what I released last year, I think I will break my previous record this year -  :o :o  Final numbers at the end of August  ;) ;)

CLYNN   OK Thanks for the bench placement.   If I remember correctly it is off the parking lot that belongs to a business next to the nest which is about the only place you can observe the goings on.   Thanks for finding those.  Cute pics of Erin's family  :)

KAREN  Nothing wrong with your A1C  ;D :-*  Good going!  Thanks for explanation on the collar.

KB   Every pic you've shown us of your yard is picture perfect.  A gorgeous area- all due to your sweat and tears.  :-*  I would think any native perennials should work.  Look up some natives for your zone as maybe a start?    LOLOL  I was just scrolling down to the next entry and saw that you already did that  LOLOL

BAZI   Binging on fish today I see...Very healthy. ;D

CLYNN     Yes I remember that SWFL area when I was there several years ago.  Anyone who was watching the cam at the time - we waved!!   Sure hope those osprey babies - thanks to the rescuers - can be returned to parents and hope that nest is livable.

LISA    Maybe yours won't be as bad as you think....

Baz - Cute pic of your niece and son!  Wow - renovated Bird House @ the national zoo sure sounds wonderful!

Tig - Nice to watch a movie yesterday in those comfortable theatre seats  :)

Tsk - Not sure what you meant when saying that your Mom and yourself, never had your hair done.  Does this mean you have never gone to a salon for a haircut?  My Mom only got a shampoo & cut.
Just read about your Monarchs - very exciting!!!!  ;D ;D

LisaG - I bet you got the warmest welcome from Jeff, Bandit, & Misty when you got home! ;D

Karen - Glad the vet helped you with a collar for Piper and hope all went well at the appt today.

Phyl - Sounds like perfect timing that Jim finished mowing and then the downpour came!

Clynn - Like the benches for Ozzie too!  Thanks for the pics.

Kb - Love the pic of the goose family! 

Beakers have a good afternoon!

EAGLES   Mom only went for a haircut.  She shampooed her own hair.  In later years I shampooed it for her.   I do the same. My friend cuts hair in her home.

LisaG   Pink water/lake is caused by an algae.  Same thing is happening at the Great Salt Lake in Utah - although because of shrinking there's not so much lake left.

Sorry about the traffic mess.  I had to improvise a new route, too.  A bit easier for me though because I know the choices better. 

Enjoy the next adventure. . .when is baby due?

Good rescue stories today!   Thanks for posting!  Wonder if they think the osprey parents will rebuild a nest where the old home place burned down! They will have trouble reuniting this family, I am thinking!  They must tell the kids to stop smokimg in bed!

Love the bench for Harriet and remember them getting one
 For Ozzie but I do not recall the third!   Nice setting!   Thanks clynn for the pictures!   Gld you re back!

Lisa, I am glad to see you too!  Checked your fb pictures earlier today and think they are lovely!  Dh2 and the plane is great!   I am wondering if all the walking you did might not keep your a1c down some!  That and driving!  Fingers crossed for you!

Puff, glad you are back too and with new friends within shouting distance!

E4e, did your mother enjoy the salon visit?  Tsk must be good with scissors!

Loriaha!  I see,  friend is good! , what is the decision on your grandmother?

Baz, you. Can come cook for me anytime!

Phyl,  amazing how you track the bbs.  The same for tsk and the monarchs!

Goodnight all!   Piper is all tuckered out after her outing!  The visit was a recheck and for a bordatela dose.i think that is spelled wrong.

Clynn, I will always remember Ozzie and Harriet, love their benches. It's a perfect setting for them. Great pics of Erin/Sydney and kids. What fun time they're having.  :)... oh no, another story of a osprey nest on top of a pole. So glad they were able to rescue the chicks. I hope they can rebuild a nest closeby and release the chicks to be joined with parents.... {{{Decorah}}} thank you for posting Lisa's pic of our beautiful Decorah.  :-*... wonderful pic of Boulder ospreys. Thank you for posting about the Loose Ends volunteers, very heartwarming story.

Kb, sweet Graylag goose family... the yard looks lovely, cool and inviting inspite of the hot weather. Great job!  :-* ... great plant suggestions, I like tig's.

Tig, YIKES 74% humidity  :P Take care.

Karen, good going on your A1C ... I'm so glad you have Piper, you both are good for each other. :-*

Baz, shrimpmasalad and lobstermasalad YUM! I'm coming!  ;D .... Summer has been showing off a lot here this year!

Lisa, Fantastic photos! The Screech owl looks tiny... love the baby fawn.... I spent some time looking for a critter in the spooky tree pic.  ;D ... . love the Indigo Bunting. I did have one migrate through our area and stop at our feeder last October. It's gorgeous! ... and of course I love seeing how well Mr. Decorah is and looks.  :-*

I was working on my morning post for today--twice---and twice I lost my replies. So, I'm not even gonna go
for a third.
Suffice to say many thanks for the nests update and info. And, the family photos and adventures. I do recall
several have had Docs appts. yesterday and it seems all went well. Very, very happy for you.  ;)

Yesterday was one of the early voting days in the Nashville Mayoral election. JIm and I spent most of the afternoon in line to cast our ballots at one of the branch libraries . Located in Shoppes at Hickory Hollowy community center  just off Belle Road.   

There's an interesting fact about this particular 'community center' .  It has an olympic size icerink that was built by  retired Olympic Gold Metalist and figure skater Scott Hamilton.

 As I recall from reading last night.
Lisa-
Red Algae
59% got the anwser correct


Laguna de Torrevieja, Spain

"When we encounter bodies of water in nature, we naturally expect the usual hues of blue, ranging from the pale cyan shade of shallow sea shoals to the near-black navy blue of deep lakes. But, pink water? Where on earth could that be found? At (taking a deep breath) El Parque Natural de Las Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja in Alicante, Spain. The area holds two lakes: a traditional, green-coloured lake and the pink hued Torrevieja that commands our attention. The highly salinated water, which you can see naturally dotted with clusters of salt crystals, is the perfect place for the proliferation of microscopic algae that's rich in carotenes. This results in the rosy tinge that protects the algae from solar radiation. And the pink is just getting started, as the algae is eaten by tiny crustaceans, which turn pink, which in turn are eaten by flamingos, who acquire the rosy hue as well. "  ;)

tsk - Thanks for article on white-tailed eagle.

E4E - I did get a nice welcome home from the kitties and Jeff.  :)

clynn - The Boulder kids look great!

Puff - Thanks for the answer on the pink lake.  I thought about you and tsk, as I was driving thru, and thinking...Oh my, you all have to drive in this mess!  ;D
Grandbaby is due Aug 2nd.  Kelly has a doctor appt today, so we will see what they say.

karen - Thanks for the kind words on the ATF pics.  All the walking I did, made the Fibromyalgia flare up, but I kept on smiling and walking, and pretending I was not in pain. 

Lani - Thank you!  The screech owl was tiny!  There was actually two of them that they released, but this one was the younger of the two.  The spooky pasture tree is where DH2 likes to eat on that curve in the branch.  We don't get to see it from this side on cam.  I thought it was pretty cool looking.  Oh, how cool you had an Indigo Bunting visit you!  It really was very pretty. 

Phyl - Sorry about losing you post!  Thanks for info on the lake.

In Namibia...the story first of Milania and older mother who finally delivers 5 cubs, losing one..and then 2 other mother's also giving birth...over some time a total of 90 cubs have been born at this center....

You betcha Lisa...still raining lightly here...dew point is at 68 and heading up to mid 90's again today.

kb, thank the Lord, you got rain!

Phyl, happy to say no 100 degrees today, it's changed to 98 for the high! Sorry your posts poofed, we all know that pain... :-\  An ice skating rink! I remember going ice skating when I was in Jr. High in AZ, to me it was as easy as roller skating. Then when I tried it years later as an adult I could barely stand up! The mall near Iowa City has an ice skating rink in it, or at least it used to have one. Haven't been there in years!

Lani, I will try and find out what happens with the osprey chicks that were rescued from the fire.

Lisa, my sister Becky used to live in Chicago, I just couldn't do that traffic either! And she lived in the thick of it... But then, you have that bridge.... ::) ::)  And then there are the hilly winding roads you find out in the boondocks, like the ones in southern Illinois that I drove last week!

Tsk - Thank you for your reply. :)  One more little tidbit, a few months after the pandemic hit, my hairdresser's Dad (he works in construction), built her a little 'shop' in a portion of their garage.  He made it really nice and it is private w/nice ambiance and music playing low (if you want it).

Clynn - Like the Boulder Osprey pic!  Wonderful volunteers doing a beautiful thing in finishing those unfinished projects.

Puff -  Although I'm sure the ATF was exciting, I bet it is nice to have gotten settled in back at home! :)

Karen - Glad it was a good visit for Piper at the vet's. :)

Lani - Cute night pic.  Glad you are staying a little bit cooler than other parts in AZ.

I rarely post pics or comment about my Hawaiian family and with my sister's approval I want to share our great news!

This is my great nephew Peyton. He is my sister's first grandson and son of my oldest nephew Pierce.
Not only is he a great little league baseball player, he discovered a love of long distance running when he and his dad did their first family race competition together in December 2022.
Since then Peyton got the bug and has been competing in island races and training at Schofield Barracks.  He received word two weeks ago his win qualified him to run in the 2023 USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships, Monday, July 24, to Sunday, July 30. The historic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in Eugene will be the venue for this prestigious event.
We're so excited! My sister Debbie, her hubby and family will be there to watch and cheer him on!! Aly is hoping to see them this weekend for one of his events.

Oh my....I hope they rescued the osprey and her chicks!  Thanks for the SWFL info and pics. 

baz - Your lunch and dinner salads sound yummy!

kb - Awww, Ollie man protecting you.  Pic of yard looks nice. 

karen - I am excited, and also JEALOUS of your A1C!  Nice of the vet to come over and help with the collar.

tsk - I don't think that doc will be calling you about that A1C either....so JEALOUS!  ;D

Phyl - I am being lazy, as I am still catching up.  What was the answer to the Pink lake?

Lisa, thank you for sharing all your wonderful pics from ATF this year!  :D :-*  I don't have a FB account, or use FB, but I had no trouble viewing all of your pics from the link you posted. Thanks, again, for making them public to shaer with all!  :)

CLYNN     Yes I remember that SWFL area when I was there several years ago.  Anyone who was watching the cam at the time - we waved!!   Sure hope those osprey babies - thanks to the rescuers - can be returned to parents and hope that nest is livable.

LISA    Maybe yours won't be as bad as you think....

TSK, great story on the re-introduction, and successful nesting and hatching, of the White-tailed Eagle in England! Thanks for the story!

EAGLES  Pretty cool.  Her own private beauty salon.  ;D

LANI  Manaaki is one big boy - Hardly able to fit in the weighing basket  LOL  He is huge - kind of like seeing an eagle held for the first time.
I got chills with that amazing Peyton story you shared.  So now we see the reason why Aly is in Oregon!!!  LOL  How wonderful that your sister will be able to attend as well.  I am so excited for your family and wish Peyton the best.  I know you will keep us posted.

We had some crazy thunder and lightening storms go through ( had been warmed but we didn't get the winds that some had) and I was just getting to my car from a dental appt when drops started.  Possible hail was included in the warning so aborted my next stop at Walgreens and opted for the underground parking at the grocery while it poured and I had no risk of more hail damage to my car and got my shopping done in the meanwhile.  On target for some more rain this afternoon.   LOLOL

TSK, glad you avoided that storm. I saw it approaching your area, and about the possible severe stuff, while watching The Weather Channel this morning.

Lani!  I LOVE that pic of Peyton and his dad, Pierce, at their race last December - great times for both of them - and what a great pic and backdrop of Peyton on a training run (I presume) too! How exciting for Peyton's qualifying for the 2023 USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships this week in Eugene!! Major accomplishment!! Good luck to him to run his expected times!  Good-looking family!  ;) That's great that Aly will be able to catch them at one of Peyton's races this weekend, too! Wow, all the way from HI! I hope they are going to come visit you and Mike in AZ before their return to HI - or maybe you and Mike can get to Eugene before they leave!

Hello Beakers

We only got a sprinkle this morning - less than .01 inch. - got my lawn mowed at 8am in 80 degrees.  Heading for 98 today and 99 tomorrow and back to 98 for Friday.  Next chance of rain is Friday night.  Congrats KB - the reporting staion 3 blocks west of you reported .86 inches this morning... ;D

Sat night cards started with a trip by the group to our favorite Mexican restr. - first game my team lost big - about 2500 pts for us and over the 10k win point for the other team in only 2 hands.  We won the next 2  ;D

A few videos to list...

KB - maybe with a little training, Ollie could do this... ;) :D

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


Karen, LOL, my shrimp and lobster salads were from my grocery store's fresh sefood counter. It was yum, but I didn't make it. Glad Piper's vet visit went well.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D


I'm getting ready to steam some fresh broccoli and fresh yellow squash for late lunch. I had some of the same yesterday - between my shrimpmasalad and lobstermasalad. LOL - gotta have my veggies!  ;D  I split the yellow squash like "boats" and then after they're steamed, I fluff them up in the center, like twice-baked potatoes, and squish in some grated parm.  I'm going to thaw some frozen shrimp and broil them on skewers later, for dinner.  I'm still using my broken refrigerator!  :o ;)  so, unless it can be eaten fresh, or frozen, then it doesn't come in the house. This has gone on for months now. My freezer works great, thankfully. I have been trying to get to the bottom of my freezer before I replace my fridge. That's been an adventurous challenge these last few months. ;D   I would've gotten to the bottom of my freezer by now if I could just stop pouncing on "can't-pass-up" specials in the meat and seafood dept. at my grocery, like that shrimp salad and lobster salad yesterday!!  ::) ;D  I have mostly stopped myself from doing that now though, so it looks like I will finally empty my freezer sometime in August... it's takes longer when there is only 1 person dining... LOL.  Yesterday, I took an inventory of what's left in my freezer - except for a few pieces of rotisserie chicken, and 1 small steak, it's all shrimp (2 kinds) and fish (cod, tuna, salmon), and a handful of small "Smart Ones" frozen meals (chicken and broccoli). Don't let me buy anything else for my freezer!  ::)  I'm ready to get a new refrigerator, so I can have my regular refrigerated foods again! But in the meantime, some of my kitchen adventures have been interesting.  LOL.   8)

oldguy - OMG Monkey is fabulous.....interestingly, Ollie's early trainer always suggested he do agility training as she saw something in him that would be good at that......

I'm a little perplexed?....My insurance company says they changed my sewer line endorsement in 2020 and they didn't need to inform me...from 10,000 replacement coverage to 2,500 for homes older than 50 years..
Yes, my home is 65 years old now, but they never informed me nor did I sign the change..
I called the Dept. of Commerce to investigate if they needed to inform me with my signature.....apparently they may have not needed to if they sent me an annual change.....they will investigate for me as I don't have it in me to do so.
My agent was super nice, a newbie as mine is on maternity leave, and will bring my complaint higher up.
I mean we are talking about a 5,500 dollar claim for which i've paid for a 10,000 claim for years...
Means the difference fo

Ugg, I know 2020 was a nightmare esp for me as Scott died and covid....but still.
I will know by the end of the week if State Farm will change their mind: doubtful, and in 2-3 weeks if the Dept of Commerce determines if they followed state law....
In the mean time I flush without putting toilet paper down the toilet.

Have to admit - not unpacked yet.  Here I am taking a break while I sip some tea.  Schedule?  Unpack tomorrow, (first have to retrieve some natural beauty, something to wear) run some errands, water where still necessary, get started on getting some laundry done.

LisaG I've driven the MD/NJ 13 original colonies states, only a slight improvement from here - and then too there's all those  rotaries  >:(  Don't know if I even would try that bridge.

Clynn Plastic bags are carried and used "across the pond".  They charge extra for bags so people always have one on their person.  French ladies with the latest fashions always have on their person.  And even saw in Russia where there are zillions of fur coated bodies with fur coats (inherited no doubt) but still with a plastic bag hanging from their pocket.  Plastic bags live a whole different life in some places.  Charge about 25 cents each bag.

E4E  As I said, not settled back in.  Will take week or so.  But worth it for ATF.

Lani  Lots of pride evident in your post and on the faces of nephew and nephew's son. 

baz & tsk  Cute little guy!

tsk I was going to call after the first front went by earlier, news showed some storm damage by you.  Easy peasy here.  But to return/continue later tonight they say.

Have to definitely comment -- Puppy is a winner NOT a monkey.  How smart, well trained, and agile.  Owner has to be proud of the work they do together.   ;D  For sure he deserves a steak!

Good Evening Beakers

I spent most of my mid-morning and afternoon at the car dealership.  The AC in my car went on the fritz the Friday before I was leaving for Decorah.  It would work on and off, but on the way home, it was more off then on.  They filled it up with freon, but the compressor is what is not working.  I have an extended warranty on the car, but they have to get approval first for the part, as the Honda compressor is on backorder and they can get one from someplace else, but it is more money.  I am hoping they call me tomorrow, and let me know what's going on, cause it is hot as you know what riding around with no AC!

Kb - Did it stop raining?  Mama arrived around 4:30 in Minneapolis for her Miss Fisher Con.  I am waiting to hear from her.  She said, the baggage claim at airport was taking forever.

clynn - How exciting for the Sydney Sea Eagles! 

tsk - Your morning greeting looked delicious.  I got my A1C results back.  I went from 7.4 to 7.6, and I need to buckle down and stop eating sweets.  Glad that you did not get in the hail storm today and had some place safe to park the car.

E4E - We are getting exciting waiting for the lil one to arrive.

Lani - Thank you for sharing your Hawaiian family with us.  Congrats to Peyton and Dad, and very exciting for Peyton to be in the USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.  Good luck to him!  Thanks for the Royal update.

baz - So glad you could see the pics!

tig - Thanks!

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

Puff - I drove to NJ once to the Jersey Shore....I was a nervous wreck!

BAZI  Again some suburbs further west did have wind damage.  We had no wind and my gauge said 1 inch of rain!!

OLDGUY   Good to see you.  Love the come from behind win  ;D    What fun enrichment for Monkey - wonder how long it took to train him?  That attack cat didn't look quite right to start.  :o  Think Claire has to take the cat to the vet for nail clipping  LOL   Maru and the red hat - so funny
Lots of good talent this year on AGT

BAZI   What an "adventure" for you coordinating all of this.  Maybe if you order a frig now and it may take a month to get it?  That's a lot of food to go through for only 1 person.  LOL

KB   Boy it sure seems to me that if there is going to be a change in policy you would need to be notified. 

PUFF  No wind but lots of rain in my gauge - 1 "  ;D

LISA   I cannot believe you did that whole trip without consistent AC  :o  Sure hope that part comes in soon.   Mama has arrived  ;D   Sorry to hear about the A1C.  Will doc do insulin or give you a chance to recover from ATF...?

Yrs. ago when Bro n S.I.L. had a gig at a casino in Atlantic City and lived in Brigantine, our parents and I would fly to Philadelphia and then rent a car and drive the expressway to A. C. for a visit. We did it twice in 3 years. It was an interesting drive.

Lisa - yes it stopped raining around 9am today, but it's hotter than the dickens...it's a feels like 104 right now with a dew point at 70....high humidity doesn't feel good at all with high temps too...
doesn't surprise me with the baggage claim either...haven't heard any planes overhead today at all..the winds must be in the other direction from me...meaning take off..they mostly land from the east of the airport but sometimes from the northwest...no winds at all today me thinks.

tsk - yes they do have to have informed me according to my Department of Commerce..my agent's replacement was wrong when he said they don't have to.
Dept of Commerce said it might have been a notice on one of those large enveloped 20 page letters you get annually...I tend to go right to the policy changes when I open them and not read the whole thing.
Dept of Commerce said they will contact them to make sure they sent me that notice but more importantly, that they sent it to all of their policyholders and not just me.
It's odd as I surely would have noticed that kind of change..
They curiously made the change in 2020....remember Covid?....LOL and Scott....it surely is possible that year I didn't open it...I'll find out from the big guys rather than try to find a 3 year old document in my yet to be filed paperwork room and make sure it affected all.
Furthermore, members of my community talk about this stuff online all the time, meaning sewer issues as no house is newer than 50 years old and the city itself promoted what sounded like a sketchy outside policy, no longer taking new business but you had to use their plumbers....sounded too sketch and all the big carriers started offering it also around the same time.
Considering I've never filed a claim before and it's a relatively small bill to them but not me they should do what's right....my sister, a former banker, said they never do and will not change their mind.
So, I'm just doing my due diligence which is certainly what they do to get out of paying claims.

A good day with the Munchkins yesterday, but I was tired (didn't sleep as good as usual...)! Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning! Only 3 more Wednesdays until school starts, my little Bella will be in Kindergarten! The first picture, 2018.

Phyl, Anthony looking good! Morning pic reminds me of Hollie Hobbie! And yes, I do remember that playground problem!

Lani, you got some more rain!  Love the news about your great nephew Peyton! What an accomplishment, and I am sure he has hopes for the Olympics, he is well on the way! Great picture of Peyton with his dad, he looks so happy!  Thank you for the news on Manaaki, my goodness he is huge! You really can't tell how huge until you have something to compare with! He totally fills that weighing basket!

Lisa, oh my, glitchy A/C for your drive from Decorah! Glad it's fixed! What ever did people do in the days before A/C? I know my grandparents never had A/C in their old house, we spent a month there every summer we were in the States. But we were kids and most kids don't mind the heat!  Baby month is coming!

baz, I do hope you get to the bottom of your freezer!  ;D I have a big upright freezer in the garage and I have been trying to use food so I can defrost it later this fall. Like you, I can't seem to pass up good bargains! Sometimes I send stuff home with Erin. I need to go get something out for supper tonight!

This awesome photo of the chick at 50 days old was taken by David Whyte yesterday morning at the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens. Yesterday was rather quiet in the Gardens probably due to the chilly weather. We did however have some interesting discussions with some visitors. David opted to go to the top of the Waterfall where the wind was blowing vigorously, while the BEPR Monitors opted to monitor from below the Waterfall where we had a little protection from the wind. We are expecting the chick to fledge in another 40 to 50 days time.

tsk - I am going to give the service advisor till 10am to call me back, and let me know what is going on.  If, I don't hear by then going to call.  I really don't want to go all weekend and into next week without air in car.  Last appt, she said if A1C went up, she was going to give me some insulin to try and get it down.  We will see.  I go on Aug 2nd for my appt. 

tig - Thanks!  I am waiting to talk to her, as when she got to hotel last evening she was too busy catching up with her Miss Fisher friends.  ;D

kb - Mom had a layover in Denver, so not sure which way her plane flew in....gonna guess NW?  She did make it to the hotel ok.  She was not crazy about her Uber trip from my Aunt's house in New Orleans to the airport tho.  It was her first time using an Uber, and the guy who picked her up was starting to drive towards downtown New Orleans and not the airport. 

Phyl - I love taking pics, so yep, I was a picture snapping fool.   :D  Baby's name is picked out, but it has been kept a secret from everyone.  They aren't saying what it is till she is born.  Oh, loved those Highlight books when I was a kid. Great pics from cams. 

karen - Yes, bad news on the car AC, but I would like for my A1C to be lower like 7.0.  I need to work on it. 

E4E - Jeff is going to be called Pop, and I will be Nanna.  All of my godchildren call me Nana, so I wanted something to kinda go with that. 

Lani - I hope I get some me time soon.  I hope I am not having to pay anything for the AC fix in my car.  I do have an extended warranty, which a no deductible. 

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins.  Awww, how exciting for Bella to be going to school.  I think the kids take the heat better than us adults for sure!

Long story... but... Camper "rescued" 4 house plants from a sidewalk yesterday evening. I left them outside atop a milk crate and then gave them a good inspection and clean up this a.m. I found some jury-rigged planter saucers and now need to determine a place in the house for these, um, plants. I don't even know what they are. Hmmm...
We got 12 drops overnight.
We got a nice thank you email from our friends at the lake with a picture of their family enjoying ice cream at the downtown shop in June.

Manaaki used the winds to help him with his wingercizes, and strengthen those flight muscles.
He also attempted a jump or two while hopping about.   
Clever chick.  ;D

A Black-billed gull dropped in to look, too.

It's been eight years since Bob Anderson left us. 
David Lynch's tribute is as true now as it ever was then.

Rest In Peace Bob
Fly high with the eagles you so loved.
We're forever in your debt.

"Seven years ago today the world lost a great advocate for nature, and we lost a good friend. This is a favorite picture of Bob and I, after we rescued fledgling eagle FOUR in 2014. We were in the process of reuniting her with her sibling D18 in Decorah, Iowa after we found her trapped in a cornfield, unable to fly herself out. That was quite a day, full of memories, laughs and good times."

Oh, I hate to sound like a complainer, but my biggest pet peeve is when someone tells you they will call and they don't!  Still have not heard from dealership, and I called at 10am and had to leave a message, and was told they would call right back.  My patience is wearing thin.  ;D

tsk - Oh you are having a hot one too, today.  It was 80° at 7 am here.  Just looked at weather app, and it says severe thunderstorms after 5pm. 

oldguy - Stay hydrated if you have to work outside!  Thanks for videos.

tig - Enjoy your raspberries and yogurt, sounds yummy.

Lani - Thanks for the remembrance pics of Bob.  So good to see King Otis! Thanks for the Royal update.

He was a soecial and dedicated man!  Thanks to the Beakers who have posted about him today!

Good report on Otis, Lani and the Royal As!  Good luck to Peyton!

Enjoyed all the nest up dates!  Anthony doesn’t seem too anxious to leave home!   Door Dash deliveries are too convenient.

Stay Cool .  sure hope all car and home operating systems are repaired soon!   No one calls back!  Actyally they want you to text or email!

Lani, I am so happy to see Otis is back and fishing for salmon at the falls again!  :-* :-*  He kind of gave a scare last year, waiting for him to make it back. I sure hope he has a good, safe year this year! Congrats on Peyton qualifying for this Sunday's 1500!! That's fantastic!!  :D

Lisa, call and tell them you will hold to speak to the person who can give you a proper status report.  That's cray-cray!  ::)


Later, Gators.  Gotta run - it's a "planes, trains, and automobiles!" kind of day!  Well, okay, scratch the "trains" part of that.  Report later.  I'm heading to the car repair shop for an appt... fingers crossed it's not an expensive fix!

Grandma is surviving... they decided to keep her in the nursing home and they are working with Dementia meds & trying to get them under control.  Meanwhile, my Aunt replays my pre-recorded message to Grandma everyday telling her I love her and she may not remember me but it does make her smile. That's all I can do for now... will update as it comes.  Thank you for understanding and the prayers... it's been tough.  :-\

On a lighter note...  ;D
Destini is upset she had to return the skidloader... so much for the giant litter box in the yard idea. (brokenlug)  ;D Will take some pics of the new driveway addition.

Destini just does this to vent...

I am on day two of a call back.  I left another message at 5pm, saying if I don't get a call before 10am, I will be heading over.  They are not gonna like me, if I have to drive over in that heat tomorrow!

High in our area today; 68

Lani - Sunday will be an exciting day for Peyton!! Good for him!! 8)

Phyl - Love the retro pics today! I remember as a young girl going to the dentist or eye doctor, that they had 'Hilights' in the waiting room, and I loved that so much!
Pretty pic out at DNN.  Thank you for cam pics.
Wonderful tribute to Bob - RIP  :-*

Kb - Love your morning pic! :-*

Clynn - Love the Munchkins pics! I bet you got caught up with their recent trip to the soccer game and their first flight, etc.  Did they each like flying on a Plane - and was there anything they didn't like?

LisaG - 'Pop & Nanna' is so cute!! ;D   Our Grandson calls us 'Grammy & Grampy'  :)  I see that you answered Tig's question about your Mom! I too, had wondered. :)  A little story for you; years ago, I had picked out a name for our son (had not been born quite yet), and I shared it with a few girls at work, and one of them thrashed the name and it hurt me so bad, that I chose a completely different name.  I remember wishing that I had not shared my choice with that coworker!

Tsk - Thank you for the reminder of our beloved Bob Anderson.

Oldguy - How has work been?  Very busy?

Tig - So nice to hear from the folks at the lake  :)    Yumm - wish I could taste one of those luscious raspberries  :)

Lani - Thank you for posting Bob - miss him so much.

Lori - Thank you too for your postings in remembrance of Bob.

Karen - How are you & Piper doing? :)

Beakers have a good evening  :)

I just thought I should mention that my Mom will not be having a surgery procedure for her bladder ailment tomorrow.  Apparently, it came to light today that my Mom had missed an important phone call from the office of the surgeon a week ago (to confirm, etc.) and Mom missed a couple of calls, and never called them back.
So, I was on the phone today, just nicely making sure they (the doctor offices) will call me about any future appts & confirmation, etc.  My Mom wants it this way too.  We hope to have better communication.  Communication is so important! ;) :)   I tried to make my Mom feel better - she was upset and mad at herself.  I reassured her, things will work out and be okay.

OLDGUY  So sorry you have to work in this heat - Maybe a good part of it could be indoors?   I'm a senior and I would have been the first one up dancing  LOLOL       Cute Simon  - Sooo CAT.  LOL

TIG  I hear there are a couple plant ID apps that you can get on your phone.  Or maybe a nursey would know that next time you are out.
How special to hear from you appreciative friends at the lake  :)

LANI  Thanks for those great pics of Bob.  I was not familiar with 2 and 3.  Otis still reigning.. ;D

LORI  Thanks for all the memories you posted of Bob - I remember Mainecoonlady's post  Nice to be reminded.   What a wonderful thing to do that you recorded a message for Grandma!!  I would never have thought of that.  Good they are still working to give Grandma a quality of life.

PHYL   Thanks for all your memories of Bob as well.

BAZI   Hope the fix was not $$$ either  :o :o

CLYNN   Thanks for your contribution to Bob's memory today.  Yes, I took a few pic of us in that garage.  No cell phone then but a digital camera - I should see if I have those on my computer.   RAGBRAI - Wow  quite a popular event.  Only scanned the article - what is the distance of that ride?   Good question from EAGLES - did the kids like flying?? 

KAREN   Did you know Boomer passed away a couple years ago.  Nan had kept up with her..

EAGLES   Awww poor Mom.  Did they reschedule a day?

Post by: clynndunn on July 27, 2023, 06:15:22 PM

tsk, the RAGBRAI ride is different every year, all the towns they go through plan big for the event. I found this information:

How many miles is the ride? The seven-day total mileage for RAGBRAI averages 468 miles while the daily mileage averages 67 miles. There is an optional loop (called the Karras Loop) on one day each year for cyclists wanting the challenge of riding a full century 100 miles.

The Munchkins loved the ariplane ride, I think they were in awe... Also the first time they have seen the ocean! 

E4E, the Munchkins loved everything about the trip! Even the soccer game! Oh, your poor Mom! Doesn't she know we all forget things? Anyway, they should have called her more than once if they didn't hear from her. Good to add yourself to the call list!

Lisa, you go Girl! 

Lori, I will be sending prayers for your Grandma, that they are able to get her so that she can go home. LOLOL, Destini and the skidloader! Honey is still holding her own, skinny as a rail but still eating and jumping on the counter to eat treats.

Lots of wonderful tribs to Bob Anderson today.  ;)

Novartis shipment of Jim's Entresto,  3 mos. supply arrived today.  ;D
Just sent off papers to AZ (astrazenica]  for patient help on cost.
Bike trip accross Iowa sounds like crazy fun.

Kb- enjoyed  photo of Moose mom and calf;   :( you got such siffling heat.

CLynn- Oh yeah. 'Holly Hobby'.  We never had that well prob w/ the swingset at school as the desert is so very dry. But we did have the 'dust bowl.  >:(
            Do you have Bella's school wardrobe all set?  Barretts, ribbons and shoes, socks, etc.?
           Such a cute photo of all those B. cubs at . Wild Instincts Rehab Wisconsin. I don't have a FB account or I'd post from there with updates.  I' m working on
            some thing though.

Lisa- No you're a 'shutterbug'.  Not a photo fool  ;)  Glad your mom got off Okay to the Mss Fisher convention. Sounds like loads of f-u-n.  Auto garages there was a time '
         I sometimes think that when someone says they'll call right away is just to pacify. imho

 Tsk- glitter graphics

Tig- how neat 'house plants' left just for you.  :) Maybe someone thought them a lost cause and knew of your talents?

Lani- Yeah, Otis is back.  Tks for the Royal Albatross update.

Karen- Anthony has life too good 'at home' to leave. And the 'Door Dash' is far too convient as you say. But if he wants  a 'wife' mate. He'd better grow up and
           be responsible pronto.  It were mom, I'd broken the plate sometime ago.  ;D   
   
CLynn-many tks for Boulder Osprey and Sydney Sea Eagle update
       
Lori- prayers for you grandma and family on going.

Og- 'ugly hot' that's a new one.   Always knew  unbearable heat as  'hellishly hot!'   your comment reminds me of   my late dad .   Who worked 30 yrs in desert heat over
       105F   for Kaiser Steele Corp out of Fonatna, CA  at the Eagle Mountian Mine .   In what is called a Beneficiation Plant that seperated the
       iron ore from other rock and dirt as water flushed the ore  onto the screens. The air was oppressive from the water causing humidity  Breaks were quite often and
       filtering  masks manditory.  Sure do feel for ya.

       Thanks for links. Always enjoy Q-kids. Alotta fun 'Twisting the night away.'

Read with sadness and gratitude all the remembrances of BOB - Bob, the leader of the nest always.  I recalled the ride back to Decorah two weeks after ATF to honor him and what he had started.  It started with his falcons and hatched into a lifetime of joy, a thrilling addition/addiction for so many, worldwide.  I've wondered many times, and again on this day, whether he knew the worth and size of his work.  I'm always reminded of the hug I sneaked in that final year at the Winneshiek ATF pizza "meeting".  I told him it was from all those who loved him for introducing us to the thrill of our birds.  (Found out later he didn't actually like hugs.)  So glad for all of us that the message was delivered.

Our love and million thanks if you're listening Bob. 

Puff and Ton

Phyl, I don't think Anthony is anxious to leave anytime soon. I don't blame him, beautiful area.

{{{Clynn}}} I can't believe only three weeks left until school starts and Miss Bella starts the big K, where has the time gone!  :-* ... great photos! So glad to hear they loved the plane ride. I bet they had a blast in NY ... sad to see so many orphaned cubs, but it's wonderful to know they have someplace safe to live and buddies to play with and someday they will be released..... the black eagle chick just knows he's tough! {{{Honey}}} ... beautiful Boulder Osprey family.... Love SE31 and soon to be sibling. :-*

{{{Lisa}}} I hope your car's AC has been repaired. Mike is using Aly's car and just had her AC repaired today. What a relief! he's preparing to sell it and wants it in good condition.
sending prayers that your A1C goes down.... Mike has to give himself insulin shot at night before bed... glad your mom is settled at the hotel... I agree, we've been waiting for a new transmission for my washer for a month, GE warranty never calls, we have to call and remind them. Finally, transmission is supposed to arrive Monday.

Tsk, what a hot day 102 here and 117 in Mesa for Shannon.  :P

Oldguy, enjoyed the videos.. fun Simon... enjoyed the dancing... take care

Lori, Phyl, Clynn, BL, Puff Wonderful tributes and memories of Bob! Thank you :-*

Tig, good luck with the plants. How nice to hear from friends at the lake.  :)

Lori, Prayers sent for your grandma, and hugs for you and Destini  :-*

Eagles, High 68! Lucky Eagle!  ;D It was 102 again.  :P... what's with people trashing a pregnant mama's choice of baby names?! That's terrible! ... awww I just read about your mom. God Bless her, glad you were able to work this out for her and doctor.... all will be well. {{{Hugs Eagles}}}  :-*

Tsk, I forgot that Boomer passed, so many forum members no longer with us or have checked in for a couple of years. God bless them.

Good night!

How is the third Bluebird brood doing? That is a scary looking tree at DNN! Will Anthony still be there when the cam is fixed? High of 98 here today, then back to the 80's. Whew, it's been a hot week!

Lani, I do hope your washer part comes soon! Are you having to go to the laundromat? Why am I trying to remember problems with your washer last year or before? Maybe I dreamed it...  ::) How is Aly doing with her new job and home? And how is Shannon managing the intensive heat in the Valley?

WHO 13 News - Des Moines RAGBRAI event was too big to count - How do you measure the size of a crowd when there are no seats, no rooms, no doors, and no tickets? When you can only estimate a big number, you’re left counting a bunch of small ones. Interesting numbers from RAGBRAI:

HI EVERYONE

77 heading to 96  Thunderstorms just moved through with more to come tonight.  Sunny later today

KAREN   Yes, I would like to remember her with those amazing reports from her time assisting at Ojai rehab that she gave us in the early years.

BL   Have not seen that photo of Bob - Thanks  :)

PUFF   Thanks for your memories of Bob

LANI  With Mike using Aly's car - what is she using?   So you have been without your washer for a month -????

PHYL  Thanks for the Nest reports from Amy  :)  Never did think the RRBB was anything more than bothersome - Glad to hear that tho.

CLYNN  I have never seen those two belled items  :o :o ???

KB   That is amazing that those geese are so fascinated with the harmonica  ;D

I only know cuz I had street skates and rink skates.  How about the fluffy pompoms,  actually my fave.

Interesting that local Trib had a half sheet, six column story on RAGBRAI.  The 50th anniversery seems to have brought on more attention.  Even me because trib is not my usual read anymore.  They hope to number the usual 20,000 full week entrants, with record breaking participant total of 70,000.  Listed DesMoines as the original start city.

E4E - So sorry to hear about your Mom missing the calls for her surgery.  ((Hugs)) for her.  My mom has done the same thing with appointments, and gets mad at herself.  I love the names Grammy & Grampy!

clynn - I think my voicemail that I left at dealership must have lit a fire, cause I received a call this morning at 8 am.  I was told that they approved the extended warranty repair for a non-Honda AC compressor, as all Honda compressors are on national backorder.  Of course, the repair won't be don't be don't till Tuesday, as I have an appointment on Monday someplace else.  Beautiful pic of the Boulder kids & Dad, and Congrats on SE31's hatch! Ohhh, I must be that certain age...I remember putting those on Bradley's shoes. 

oldguy - Thanks for the map.  Iowa is beautiful, so I bet that ride is a good one.

Phyl - I agree with you on that comment, I sometimes think that when someone says they'll call right away is just to pacify.   Great cam pics!

Lani - Hopefully by Tuesday on my AC in car.  Aly didn't take her car to Oregon?  What insulin does Mike use?  I am glad that your washer transmission arrived!  What a long wait, too. 

kb - I texted her yesterday, asked her if all was going ok and she replies...going good.  She hardly calls me when she is with her Miss Fisher friends at the Con, but she wants to call me everyday when I am at ATF!   ;D

Lisa - Haha....that's funny about your Mom...sounds like a one way street to me!....well, when she gets back home you will have to grill her about her visit to St. Paul, MN...although it sounds like it's all about the Con.
will you reschedule your Monday appt then?

Well, headed out with Ollie man as it's a titch cooler but still way too hot...67 dew point vs. yesterday's 73 and temp is 75....Ollie man got hot so we shorted the walk by 4 blocks....course he rolls around on all the homes that have irrigation systems or watered grass..

tig - I thought with that inch of rain Tues night I might be able to go a week without watering the grass..But, after our 100 degree temps or thereabout for 2 days, hmm...maybe not.

Well, tgif!   Humidity 78%!  Possibility of rain after 5pm.  New yard folks starting today!  Had them years ago but the guywho supervised died.  The company does my sprinkler system and the son is now doing lawn care.   Need a lot of bush and shrub triming done!   Things either grow like crazy or die in the heat!  I have a lot of bushes turned into trees around the property!
Thanks for the nest roundup!  Bbl

I am so sorry to just learn about Boomers passing.  I had the privilege of meeting her a couple of times at the Ojai Raptor Center open house.  The attached picture is of her handling an owl.  Unfortunately I missed getting her in the photo.  I too enjoyed reading about her time volunteering with the ORC.

Lisa and Puff, thank you for sharing of your time at ATF.

Prayers and good thought for all (including family members) who are ailing.  Stay cool everyone.  This heat is not for sissys.

Phyl, thanks for Anthony's pics and RRP updates/blog.

Clynn, great pic of DHM and DH2... Our GE washer is the third new washer since 2013. We bought it 5/22, just barely over a year old and transmission goes bonkers a month ago. I take large loads to laundry mat, but that's been too busy since summer. We have a lot of transits now in our town, they come in large vans to get their laundry done. So, I've been using our washer and shut the utility room door so we don't have to hear the terrible grinding when it's washing. Of course, you can still hear it, so I go outside and work in the yard. It doesn't make that sound when it's spinning. We found out that this GE washer has had trouble with it's transmission. It's taken GE 4 weeks to follow through on the warranty... Aly is doing well and loves her co-workers... Shannon is bearing up with the heat... I haven't a clue what that items are with the bells.

Kb... awww love the man and geese, very special.  :-* ... Sadie is like Ollie, because she has black fur she gets warm quickly and lately hasn't wanted to walk the 2 miles. So I walk till she wants to turn around and come home. And it's been that way for 2 weeks. Whenever we decide to move, we're getting a fenced yard with grass, lots of grass for Sadie to roll on! And we can let the cats out too. ;D ... take care.

Tsk, Lisa I posted in late May. Mike gave Aly his 2008 SUV which was able to tote the U-Haul with her things. He kept her 2003 small suv and repaired it to sell. And he bought 2010 Explorer a week ago that has a story all of its own. Since our life has had its up and downs these past few weeks, I've kept it to myself in keeping with Clynn's happiness posts.  ;D

Lisa, too bad you have to wait till Tuesday for AC  :P ... Aly's car would not have been able to tote a U-Haul.... Mike's insulin's name on box Lantus Solostar... Fed Ex called transmission won't arrive till late Monday. My appliance guy is on alert, he'll see us immediately, whenever part arrives.... Moms are funny, and I'm one too! LOL!

{{{Tig}}}

Karen, it must be a wonderful feeling to get your home/yard in order and under your control again.  :-*

Hi Weasel, I remember Boomer's stories and pics too, like that sweet owl. Thank you for posting.

Royal Albatross - 7/28
Today was a big day at Pukekura with all 33 chicks banded with a Stainless-Steel band & a unique permanent alphanumeric darvic band.

Manaaki is D36 darvic band, and black for males.
NTF chick is D17 darvic band, and yellow for females.

The bands are large with the internal diameter of 19 mm The Stainless-Steel bands are a height of 12 mm & take careful adjusting to get them on the leg.
In 2/3 weeks the S-S bands will be checked during weigh day to make any adjustments prior to fledging
Thank you Sharyn & Colin

tsk, you must be too old...LOLOL!

Lani, that's terrible for a brand new washer to quit like that. Too many things made in China these days. When Ed and I got married we got my Grandma's old GE dryer. It was old and used when we got it in 1984 and we finally replaced it in 2006. Wow, 33 Albatross chicks banded in one day! That is a busy day! One just can't imagine how big they are until you see a picture like the ones you posted! They are HUGE babies!  Gotta love those dogs! Erin called me a little while ago, he was bawling, they were getting ready to take Gunner to the vet and say goodbye to him. Then I started crying too. It's hard to hear your child cry like that...

Do any of you remember wrapping your boyfriend's class ring with angora wool so it would fit? There was a place where you could send off for a yard of angora, we would get colors to match our outfits. I think it was 10 cents for a yard!

Lani -- no kidding on getting a fenced in yard with grass!....as you know I have one of those homes...keeping my grass green and soft if not only for myself.....LOL..

Clynn - I remember vaguely Gunner was ill....can't remember with what or why though...so sorry.

Since I had my Walter boy put down in my house, that's the only way I'll do it again....that may not be available everywhere, but it is not a problem here as many organizations and vets now do it at home for you.
It was not more expensive either...I also asked my then vet to make sure he was cremated alone. If you don't say that, it's a group thing...awful I thought...I have Walter's ashes in a nice oak box with his picture above it in our living room...Funny too, I've been thinking a lot about Walter lately for some reason....it's been 9 years.

Just an FYI   My friend in Vancouver Wa is aware of the Iowa bike ride but never cared to participate due to the hot humid weather and the fact that everyone is on their own for food and sleep.  Her bike club only does sponsored rides.

LISA  Well that is settled and Tues will be the day.   LOL  Mom too busy to call from her event  LOLOL

KAREN   Hope the new yard crew will ace the job!!!

KB  Beautiful setting where the Minnehaha falls is located.

WEASEL  Sorry you had to hear about Linda ( Boomer) this way.  So happy that you got to know her a little bit.

LANI  I apologize for likely forgetting about the transfer of cars back in May and Aly getting the 2008 SUV .  Hope Mike has good luck selling her old car and that nothing goes wrong with his recent Explorer purchase.   Seems like appliance companies and many others have not caught up after Covid!   So we have washer repair for you on Monday and car A/C repair for LISA on Tues  LOL  August will begin!   Gosh those birds are huge!!

CLYNN   I've never even seen those shoe things  LOLOL   Oh no - How sad for them to take Gunner in - We all know what that is like - My heart is heavy.  Do the kids understand??  Remember the angora rings my friends wore - Never had a boyfriend  ::) :-\

I decided I'd better go to the doctor to be safe. Not my usual doctor... he agreed with my concern (the area was more reddish and still warm). He thought it might be infected so prescribed an antibiotic. And he said to apply heat as that would allow the medicine into the bruise.
Good news is my RHR was 60 and BP 120/68.

It seems to be "Repair Time!" lately for so many of us!  Cars, washers, refrigerators, bathroom leaks, fence gates, sewer lines, and more!   ::)  I got the diagnosis for my car today - glad to finally know - it turned out to be the starter, as had been suspected, and now confirmed.  They're closed on the weekend, so my car will be locked up in their shop till Monday, when they will have the part and do the repair. Yep, $$$, but it's a  highly reliable shop, and I have done business with its owner for over 23 years now. He's never done me wrong. It could've been worse. Not too bad, all in all, as the only other repair on my 2011 Toyota Corolla was a tire pressure sensor that had gone bad, and I had that replaced last week during my oil change and tire rotation. Otherwise, it's all been normal maintenance work. So Zippo and I will be home all weekend, till they call me to come get my repaired car on Monday. Gives me more online time price-shopping my chosen refrigerator to see if any sales have popped up for it.
 

Meanwhile...

TGIF, BEAKERS!!  8)

Our high today; 70.

Tsk - Yes! The surgeon's office called me this morning regarding the new date for my Mom's surgery and it is going to be Aug. 17th!    Cute morning gif!

Clynn - So happy that all went well for the Munchkins first Plane flight and that they loved the soccer game!!   Thank you for kind words for my Mom as she tends to be hard on herself if she forgets something, and she knows she doesn't have the best memory anymore - but then neither do I sometimes! :-[    Good for Honey in holding her own! :-* :)
Oh no - I am sooooo very sorry and sad for Erin having to take Gunner in. My heart hurts for them. :'( :'(

Phyl - Good for Jim getting his 3 mo Rx supply!   Your poor Dad worked 30 years in the desert heat - such a dedicated and hard working man he was.   Thank you for cam pics and Amy's blog.

Puff - Love your beautiful tribute for Bob and I think that is wonderful that you found the chance to sneak a hug in on Bob!! :)

Lani - I too, can't wait for you to receive the new transmission for your Washer - hopefully Monday as they told you!   So glad that you have still been able to use the Washer as it is no fun to go to a laundrymat.     That is so nice that Mike got the AC repaired in Aly's car!    I went over and seen my Mom for a bit today, and she is glad that she has a new surgery date!  Wow - Albatross - nice & healthy!

Hi Kb! Beautiful pic of the Minnehaha Falls!

Eagles, I'm so glad you're mom was able to get a new surgery date. How's your sister?

Lori, Oldguy, Clynn, Pink, and all safe. {{{Hugs Lori}}} for warning.

{{{Lisa}}} How is Misty? Have you heard how any of the kittens are doing? I hope you're resting and feeling better too.

{{{Baz and Zippo}}} You're so lucky you have a car repairman that you can trust..... LOL Wine  ;D

{{{Hugs Tsk}}} no apologies necessary. April, May, June was a crazy time for all of us and most especially for you.  :-*
Okay well, about Mike's Explorer :( ... so much going on here, I kept that quiet. Well, his business in CA last Saturday was a meeting for work and picking up this 2010 Explorer in Carlsbad. He had been almost scammed twice prior to this sale. He turned that into Craigs List. When he met the guy for the cash sale at the guy's bank, Mike asked the Carlsbad police to be present. They were very kind and thought it was appropriate to do that. All looked great with the car, 2010, driven 35,000, good shape, no damage report etc...So, sale went well, Mike drove car home. AC worked great traveling...and then with less than 30 miles away from Payson and after a tricky down hill winding road, Mike heard a crack sound, then it felt like something dropped and then he couldn't get the car to slow down, transmission stopped working... Mike had to bring the car to a stop going uphill and off to the side of the road. That was about 5pm our time. He called AAA (which we've had for years) for a tow shop and drive back to Payson. AAA never called back. It was 8:30 before Mike was able to reach the nearest tow shop in Sunflower, they said AAA had called, but they told AAA no help was available, as trucks were on call. Mike said they never called him and he's sitting on highway 87/188 and not even Highway patrol went by.
The owner of the tow truck stop had just returned from a call, his wife told Mike, she felt bad he's been sitting there for over 3 hours. They'll come and get him, and tow Mike/car home.  He was home by 10pm tired, hot and disappointed, he sat down, he had lots of TLC from Sadie, me, and had a beer before bed. The car was towed to a repair shop on Monday and they just saw it today. Thankfully it's not a broken transmission. There was a line that cracked and the bolts that held it fell away. Anyway, that's Mike's adventure  :) And my adventure was cleaning up the oil spots off our cobblestone driveway amongst other things. Spots are gone! ;D

{{{Kb}}} YAY! you got rain!  ;D  we never forget our fur babies. I still have Bandit's pic on my iPhone.

Clynn, never had the jingling pom poms on the girls shoes... did the crochet yarn on Korky's class ring when I was 16 .... a successful season for the Dunrovin Osprey family  :-*
Look at this pic I just saw on their facebook.... dad and the kids with their blue bands!  ;D

Sydney posted this on FB yesterday:

Lani, thank you for the kind words for Erin & Family, it was a tuff day for them. I asked them if they wanted to stay for pizza, (the vet they use is close) and they did. We talked about the fun memories of Gunner and the mood lightened. I had to go back and find that picture of Bella waiting for me to pick her up, and you were right, it was Gunner sitting next to her...  Oh my, poor Mike with the car. He has had some not great memories of car troubles! I am so glad it was something simple and not the transmission! Love that picture of the Dunrovin kids with Dad! They have had good luck in that nest for many years (except when Ozzie passed...)! You had Korky's class ring...there must be a story there...  ;D

E4E, I woke up at 4:15 this morning and decided to go ahead and get up, Honey was probably hungry.  And she was waiting for me to get her food! She ate good and is resting on a chair under the table now. She travels around under the table, from chair to chair, they all have chair cushions. We have to check before we pull a chair out to sit! I am waiting to hear if Erin's other dog Rome is missing Gunner. Rome lives and breathes for Erin, follows him everywhere. Thank you for the lovely words, I will pass it on to Erin. Glad to hear your Mom got her procedure rescheduled!

tsk, the angora yarn was a fad thing, to look pretty and to match your outfit! I do remember getting that envelope with 12 colors of yarn in it! Did you get a storm last night? We got a short shower, about 2 minutes.  :o

Phyl, how do you get your pictures to Pinterest? I can transfer them to Pinterest right from my phone, I have the free Pinterest app on my phone as well as on my pc. It's a longer process to get them from a camera to Pinterest for sure! I just looked, I have almost 14,000 pins, over 2,700 of the Munchkins. It's hard trying to find a certain picture! Thanks for the card for Erin & Family, I have forwarded it on to him...

kb & tig, glad to hear you got some rain!

Lori, hope you and Dad and Destini and your Mom are okay after that mean storm last night! It looked pretty mean on the radar!

Speaking of the storm, it hit RAGBRAI as well:  https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/life/living-well/ragbrai/2023/07/28/severe-storm-threatens-coralville-ragbrai-campground-concertgoers/70490663007/?utm_source=desmoinesregister-newsalert-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsalert&utm_term=Hero&utm_content=pdem-des-moines-nletter04

Which is fine with me. Different strokes  ;)  Any way, so glad y'all are fine.  :-* to Honey.

{{{Lani}}} gosh what an ordeal for Mike with the 2010 Explorer; Dunrovin Osprey family - dad and the 'kids'  together is too cute   :)

{{{Tig}}} hope you're feeliing much better today   🙏 's

Lori , OG, CLynn and Pink-🙏 's  and  hope y'all hunkered  down and are  safe this AM; I see your post today-glad all's well

E4E so  glad you're mom got a new surgery date and can proceed--17th isn't that far off.  🙏 's  And, your sis ?

Lisa- I know w/parents seems like one can't win for loosing. LOL  B and M doing okay together? I think about her kittens often and wonder about them.

Another hot one here today, but we did get a nice thunderstorm last night with lots of thunder, wind and lightning.

Phyl - Bandit and Misty seem to be getting along ALOT better now since she is spayed. 

clynn - Nice collage that Sydney made for {{Gunner}}. That is funny about the cat claws. 

Lani - Misty is doing good.  We hear from everyone that we know who adopted the kitties, and they all seem to be doing good so far. I love getting emails from jaspurr, and hearing how she is making out with Daisy and Piper.  I think Daisy gives her trouble sometimes.   :-\  Reading your comment to tsk about Mike's SUV.  So sorry that he had to go thru all of that.  I am glad that it was not the transmission, too.  Hopefully, and easy fix. 

tsk - If I did not answer the phone, I would get a text saying, Where are you???  I just tried calling!  ;D ;D

E4E - Glad to hear that your Mom's surgery has been rescheduled.  I bet she feel good too knowing that.

baz - I had a Toyota for 11 years, and I am really thinking about going back to one when this car is paid off.  Glad that you had a good mechanic that you trust.  LOL, the wine.

tig - I hope you are feeling a lil better with those antibiotics.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

71 heading to 81  DP 67  humidity 87%  Feels a bit better out today

Total rainfall from yesterday in the gauge  1.5"

PUFF  Lots of thunder and lightening but by my old fashion counting seconds between lightening and thunder it stayed about 9 miles away.  Rain gauge showed 1.5" from all the rain periods yesterday

OH LANI   What a nightmare for Mike and you all.  It is a shame that that kind of thing happens.  Wonder if the seller knew about the bad pipe?
Gone are the days for being able to trust anyone.  It really ruins it for the good folks out there.  Glad he got home safe however - that is the important thing.  On a much smaller scale - Tim and I were to meet a gal last Sat. at our local Walgreens to give her - not sell - 3 sets of golf clubs - which Tim had accumulated over the years  sigh.   She set the time - waited 15 min - never showed.  We put them out at the curb and were gone by the end of the day!!!   She messaged later - could she change the time?  I responded " Seriously?"   By the way how did you get the oil off the driveway???   I stopped my AAA after umpteen years as I also had an experience similar to Mikes.  But now on new cars, they offer that service - Hope I never have to use it.   Love the Dunrovins - Mom must have been taking the pic  LOLOL

CLYNN  Love that photo.  Sounded like a nice celebration of Gunner's life last night. Loved the pic - " life is a short trip"   So funny and true - unsticking cats paw.  Lulu has just had her Gabapentin so in 2 hours we can clip her nails  LOLOL

LISA   cute AM pic  ;D   Good to hear on Bandit and Misty.  Bandit likely relieved to know all those kittens didn't have to stay there  LOL

PHYL   " rock, paper , scissors "  LOL   Clever Bob teapot  ;D

LORI   Must have been terrible around you!!  Glad electricity is working.  Love donut holes  ;D

Prayers please.  Our dtr-in-law Amy who just had her ovaries removed a couple weeks ago - final test in and she does have ovarian CA.  We just got the call. This is particularly awful because Tim's son has had a history of mental issues which has been passed on to their now almost 14 yr old son.  Amy holds the whole unit together.  She will have another surgery Tues - as this info is coming from Tim's ex. who is second in charge in that family.  We don't know what the surgery will be.  She will have 6 chemo session beginning soon but is a special education teacher and wants to get back to that.  She is the only income source besides what Tim and his ex provide which is substantial.  We have not seen them in almost a year so will go out tomorrow at his son's request - they are about 45 min away.  We are beside ourselves.

TSK... aw, gosh. Prayers for sure. Hugs for you and the whole family.

Well. That went well. I texted our neighbor to see if they would please trim their shrub sometime soon (the one that tries to take over the earth! A fast-growing something that was planted by the home's original owner in approx. 2010). It is only a few feet from our property line and it is only a few feet from there to our home. It is tough for me to walk through the area as the branches are in the way. They came out and pruned it right away. I'm secretly hoping they get tired of it and remove it. Anyway. I'll feel a lot safer trying to limp through with the lawn mower tomorrow.  :D

Later

Lani - your Mike vs. vehicle story was something else....oh my, the waiting too...so glad all is okay at this point with him and you.

Well, I've walked a shorter walk with Chris and Ollie man this morning...first time for Chris as it's cooler than all of last week and he was sore. Turns out his PT is and has been on vacation....no wonder she made a walking goal for him!.. ;) ;)

Also, second Neem oil everywhere and errands run.

Shocked I tell ya, how long the back yard grass is....I was out there so noticed it...the view from my kitchen is just that's it's green!
Will absolutely have to mow tomorrow morning....has been too hot all last week so here we go.

There he was.

Just before 6 p.m. eastern on July 26 — the very same day 480 Otis emerged from hibernation in 2021 — fans spotted the park’s beloved brown bear on a live camera at Brooks Falls in Alaska.

This year, the grizzly bear seen holding a fresh salmon and trudging through the water was late to his usual hunting spot at Katmai National Park. It’s not that Otis hit snooze on his alarm — you can blame climate change.

“The last time he showed up this late, salmon were also late, and the salmon were late this year as well,” said Candice Rusch, a spokesperson with Explore.org, the site that runs the 24/7 live cameras at Katmai National Park. “What we’ve been seeing in Alaska is that the salmon run has been trending later into July, which means for bears like Otis waiting longer to eat that salmon.”

Wild bears like Otis are supposed to return to the salmon run in late June, not July, but rising temperatures and overfishing are in part delaying the arrival of the salmon, Rusch said. This puts the bears in a time crunch, having to eat food in less than the usual six months they’d have to take bulk up before winter time.

“Things like rising ocean temperatures, overfishing, all of these things that are going to affect our marine life, are going to affect bears like Otis and all of the bears at Katmai National Park pretty directly,” Rusch said.

What makes the situation more critical is that Alaska’s Bristol Bay is the world’s last sockeye salmon run for bears like Otis, Rusch said, which she said makes it crucial to take action to conserve it. As ocean waters warm, less and less salmon are returning to open sea, which means there are fewer available to feed animals and humans. Those that do return to high sea are dying as marine heat waves driven by climate change continue to alter their ecosystem.

Bears, which also eat sedges and clams, migrate to open meadows in spring and early summer to feed and dig for food on the nearby mud flats. They eat salmon from streams during the last part of the summer and through fall, according to the National Park Service.

480 Otis is particularly famous thanks to the increasingly popular Fat Bear Week competition. Created in 2014, Fat Bear Week is March Madness meets Nathan’s Famous hot dog eating contest, but for bears. At the end of the summer, Katmai National Park staff and Explore.org pit 12 park bears against each other online in a single-elimination bracket tournament.

Gates of the Arctic National Park: Alaska's wilderness.

The internet is presented with before and after photos of the contenders, showing bears right after they’ve emerged from hibernation, often very lean, then again in the final weeks before they hibernate again, by then much fatter. Fans then vote on which bear has the more impressive weight gain until one bear takes the title of Fattest Bear on Fat Bear Tuesday. Otis is a regular fan favorite of the competition, and has won the crown four times, including in 2021. At roughly 27-years-old, he’s also one of the oldest bears at the park.

“A bear that’s around 30 years of age is approaching what would be the equivalent of a 100-year-old person,” said Mike Fitz, Fat Bear Week creator and Explore.org resident naturalist. “Most bears don’t have the fortune of living that long.”

Since the park’s so called live “bear cams” were turned on June 16, fans had been waiting for Otis to make an appearance. As weeks passed and more prominent fixtures were spotted, like last year’s semifinalist 435 Holly, fans were starting to worry that Otis may not return.

On the afternoon of July 26, just a few hours before he was spotted, Rachel Wanamaker noted Otis’s absence in the Fat Bear Week Bracket Tournament Facebook group, the most prominent online gathering place for fans of the park’s bears.

There were reasonable explanations, Wanamaker said, like the lower than normal salmon count, or the fact that he could be elsewhere in the park. But the live camera chats were starting to fill up with worries, prayers and tributes to the bear.

How to celebrate Fat Bear Week, according to huge fans.

“What he was doing in the meantime, I don’t know,” Fitz said. “It looks pretty obvious to me that he wasn’t fishing somewhere else because he’s pretty thin.”

Then, as if on cue, the former champ appeared. Pure elation followed, with dozens of posts and hundreds of comments. “I was prepared mentally for him to not show up but the sheer joy in the first few sighting posts were overwhelming,” one group member wrote. “Long live Otis, King of Brooks Falls.”

“For a lot of people, it was quite joyous for them to see him return,” Fitz said.

While fans may have been unsure, Fitz wasn’t surprised to see the bear’s return. Also true to form, Otis reemerged emaciated with vertebra sticking out of his back and hip bones protruding. Fitz said it’s likely that Otis emerged from his den and spent time in another part of the park before heading to Brooks Falls.

Bears start leaving their hibernation dens as early as March and as late as June, Fitz said.

“He showed up this year extraordinarily skinny,” Rusch also noted.

Within thirty minutes of his return to the river, Otis was catching fish. Fitz said that’s part of what fans love about him. “We’ve seen in the past that he is adaptable and he’s a survivor,” Fitz said. “People can really relate to his work ethic and his ability to make a living despite the challenges that he continues to face.”

If we want to continue watching Otis and other bears return to Katmai National Park every year, it’s critical to protect the environment and its marine life, Rusch said.

“Climate is one ecosystem, not just Alaska,” Rusch said. “It’s the whole world that it’s tied together in this problem.”

Lori, i am having some of those goodies you posted!   Ate tsks delicious waffle yesterday!   Don't i wish!  Lol.
 Lynn, I am sorry about Gunnar.he was about a year old when Bella was born so they kind of grew up together!  He was a big Boy.  Rip Gunner and enjoy all your new friends at the bridge.

Lani, I am sorry about Mikes experience with his new ride. hopefully his mechanic will check every thing out well while he has the car. Hoses and tires can deteriorate  with age  so I have been told. 

Hot here today but we are now getting a good rain.

Yard company that I have hired is not new to me.  I had them when I first moved in.   They do my sprinkler system.   They did the regular mow and blow and removed some large tree limbs that were here and ignored by the previous person.  They will give me an estimate on trimmong and scjedule that work!

E4e. Good that you have your  mothers md calling you.  That makes it easier for both of you.  How is your sister?

Lisa, glad your kitties have settled in with each other.  4 days away from  baby girl arriving?  Exciting time.

Tsk and Tim!   Prayers for  your family. Hopefully they can contain the cancer.  Seems like they do chemo followed by surgery followed by more chemo!  S he is brave to think she can teach this fall!

(((TSK))), hugs. Sending many prayers for Amy, and for you and Tim, and his son, and grandson, and all the family.

Lani, what a nightmare return trip home Mike had! I hope the car repair won't be too pricey and he gets lots of trouble-free miles out of it after.

(((Clynn))), hugs continuing for all the family. What a wonderful post Sydney made of remembrances of Gunner over the years. So glad you all could be together for pizza and sharing memories last night at your house.

Tig, glad you got some meds. Was that for the injury to your leg when you were carrying the berry-picking pails? Be well soon.

Lori, so glad all is ok at your place - what about at your mom's? How long were you without electricity? Love that your message is being played daily for your Grandma. Hugs to you, and all your family. Sorry about Destini not getting to operate the heavy equipment anymore... she needs a hard hat for next time!  ;)

E4E, I'm glad you could let your mother's medical offices know to communicate through you on her behalf. Glad she was able to get her surgery re-scheduled for soon.

Lisa, moms!  ::)  ;) :D   I hope she's been having fun at the convention. Well, if you didn't answer her calls when you were too busy to talk, seems like you could have a text message reply saved and on standby to send her when she texts you to ask where you are, and it could say that you're sorry you can't talk right this minute and will call her back before long. As we know, Moms "train" their kids, and then, later, I think sometimes the kids need to "train" their moms.  ;D  Great news that all the kitties are doing well!

Phyl, I had heard about that rocket punching a hole in the ionosphere, but hadn't had a chance to read about it. Good article on that, and great pics, too.

Karen, glad your yard is getting all spruced up again. I'm sure it looks great after all that work.

T40, I'm an Otis-lover, too, and was ecstatic that he finally made it back to the falls again this summer!  :-* :-* :-*  Thanks for sharing that great article!!    :-* :-* Long may Otis reign!  :-* :-*


Beakers, remember the picture of Bob A. lying, spread-eagled, in N1, after a end-of-season nest survey and clean-up? It was such a great picture to show just how big the nest is - Bob had lots of room to be stretched out in the nest! Phyl's "LiveScience" url had a link to an interesting and fun article and picture of another large animal napping in a big Eagle's nest in Alaska - a black bear! LOL! Biologists were surveying Eagles' nests in Alaska by helicopter and discovered that bear curled up in an Eagle nest, sleeping away. The picture is great, and the associated article is wonderful, explaining about black bears sometimes predating eagles' nests (eggs and eaglets, ugh), and maybe bears being attracted to them by the fish smells coming from the nests. It tells a story about one particular Eagle nest that a black bear invaded, which had an egg in it at the time, and their follow-up observations about what then happened at that nest.
Here's that article from "LiveScience" - you have to scroll past the many embedded ads to read it all and see the great pics:
https://www.livescience.com/animals/bears/black-bear-caught-napping-in-a-bald-eagles-giant-nest-on-alaska-military-base

I had never before thought about black bears getting into Eagles' nests, but it makes sense. Glad it hasn't happened in Decorah (as far as we know)!
I found this info  from the Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources about the very small black bear popuation in Iowa, which explains why I haven't seen talk of black bears around Decorah's nests:
"Since 2002, there have been 49 confirmed black bears in Iowa, and two to five per year since 2014. As bears have become more of a regular visitor, the chance to encounter a bear, although small, is a possibility. 'Black bears have some general tendencies and habits, but individual bears may go against the norm. May 9, 2023' "


Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Baz, I pray he gets a lot of trouble free miles out of it too! Mike sat down and wrote a long note to AAA this is the 2nd time this year they didn't showed up or returned a call. They ignored Aly's call for help when her car wouldn't start midway through her trip to Medford. So he wrote a complaint letter and we removed the auto-renewal on our AAA account. We won't use them again... I'm looking forward to reading Phyl's Live Science articles, especially now that you wrote about the black bears.

Tig, I need to clean my oven too. Thanks for posting  ;D .... courteous neighbors... could that be an overgrown vine type bush? Does it bloom?  ???  Karen and Kb are right.

T40, thanks for the wonderful article on Otis!

{{{Lori, Destini, family and grandma}}} glad your okay, and sorry about the debris after the storms... love the goodies.

{{{Tsk, Tim and family}}} The man who sold Mike his car called a couple days later to check on Mike/car. He was willing to pay for repair cost. Mike declined. Mike received $100 in cash in Thursday's mail from him.... well the lady lost out on 3 free sets of golf clubs! If you wanted to get rid of anything in Scottsdale or Arizona, just set it out on the curb and it's gone by noon! It doesn't matter what shape it's in.  ;D

Lisa, glad to hear the kittens are doing well. As well as Miss Daisy!   ;D. ... baby coming soon  ;D

Phyl, love rock, paper scissors!  ;D ... I will bookmark the LiveScience articles and read later tonight. Thanks.

Clynn, lovely pics of Gunner, especially the one with him sitting on Sydney's lap. That's a winner! Oh poor Rome  :( ... glad you and the family were able to gather for dinner last night, I imagine it helped to ease the pain a bit.  :(... yes Korky is another story  ;D ;) ... last year Dunrovin Harriet lost three eggs due to late freezing snow storm  :( ... love the importance of trees and cat claws.

Hi Beaker friends - please bear with me as I am catching up - I did not post since yesterday evening.   We went to a car show today and were gone all day.

Tsk - Oh no, so sorry to hear about Amy.  Prayers for her and for ALL of your family.

Lani - Wow, you guys have been through so much.  So sad that AAA has left you guys without help on several occasions. :o ::)

Tig - Happy to hear that your neighbor pruned down the 'shrub' so quickly! It would be great if they go ahead and remove it!  Thanks for posting pics! ;D

Kb - Hope Chris continues to walk with you - even if you guys sometimes shorten the length of the walk - he seems to be hangin' in there with you!

Karen - I saw my sister yesterday, and she is doing pretty good - voice is raspy tho!

Baz - I too, remember the pic of Bob lying down in the nest!  The nest was amazing!!!

Clynn - Continued thoughts & prayers for you, Erin, Sydney & family.  Love the pics of precious Gunner.

LisaG - I am getting pretty excited for you and your family!!!! ;D

Phyl - Cute evening pic.

Lori - You post the nicest, sweetest things!

Hi Puff  :)

Peace out.

Nestled in here as a epic Canada July fireplace now wow's us.

Pip just met, I know some peeps from the road for connection sake.

The glee in her eyes was so priceless as was the picking.

Today...a high of  93F  partly sunny, humid at 98% and  high pollen count.
 Our nighttime low 69F  with clear skies          

Clynn -thinking of Erin, Sidney, Talon and Bella.   :-* to Honey

{{{Tsk}}}

Lisa-less than two weeks 'til granddaughter's arrival-excitement builds. Although I don't think Bradley/ Kelley would let the kitties too close to baby. But , would be interesting,  if not cute to see the kitties reaction to her.

BL-thanks for the song. A new one for me; LOL 'Got the Spider" an internet staple that one

E4E tks for update on your sister-glad to hear she'd doing well; Bet the car show was fun

Phyl, love the cat driving Miss Chicken!  We are 65 right now, 85 today. Looks like the weather is calming down, next week high 70's, low 80's. So far...  ;D  Honey is hanging on, she is still eating, sleeping and using the litter box. That's about it though.

E4E, I could easily imagine that Kris could spend the whole day at a car show! Glad to hear your sister is doing well, the raspiness will hopefully go away with time...

BL, you and Pip keeping cool up there in Canada...  :)

Lani, Just when I think good customer service is a thing of the past...I called AT&T yesterday to cancel Kay's cell phone and I got the nicest, most helpful person! I always gave good customer service when I worked in retail, not so much anymore, if you can even find someone to ask.  And then I read about the guy checking with Mike on the car, now that is a good person, and to go ahead and send money! We got a card in the mail yesterday, it was from the realtor who helped us find this house back in 1996. Ed contacted him and he got Kay's house sold for Debbie in less than two weeks. And in with the card, a $250 gift card. We will remember him again when we are ready to sell... Hope you and Mike are having a nice, restful weekend.

Erin sent me a picture, they went to the Drive-In in Newton last night (30 miles from DSM). It was a sold out double feature, Barbie & Spiderman. Quite a set-up don't you think? They have the regular old speakers, but you can also get the sound on your radio! The kids were so excited!

Lisa, you better go out and get a few more baby things today!  ;D ;D Just don't wander too far and keep that cell phone handy!

tig, glad to hear you have a nice neighbor! Even if they don't remove the bush they will probably make sure to keep it trimmed!

clynn - Now, that is how you go to the movies!  I hope the munchkins had a great time.  I have my phone by me at all times.  I am waiting for that call.   ;D

tsk - Yep, this week is the week.  I believe Bradley told me that Kelly's mom is supposed to be coming from Florida today, and not sure how long she is staying.  And, not sure if she is staying with them or if she is staying with the brother, SIL and other grandbaby.  Wow, that is some eagle place!  Glad to hear that Amy has a positive attitude.  Continued prayers for her, and the family.

Phyl - Cute morning greeting.  I think Kelly is hoping we have a baby this week and not next.  She is big, and hot with this heat.

Lani - Beautiful kitty in your good night pic.

E4E - Thank you  :-*  Hope you had a great time at the car show.  Glad to hear that your sis is doing well. 

karen - I think the tables have turned, seems as tho Piper is the sweet one, and Daisy is the troublemaker/Dora the Explorer. That reminds me, need to email jaspurr back.  I was in the middle of doing it, and we lost internet for a bit.

BrokenLug - That was one impressive storm.  The lightning, thunder and wind...wild!  All ok, tho!

Good Morning!  Piper and I are in the orange section of the US map where it says, Heat Advisory!   Not to complain as I still remember walking in Chicago, just iff of Michigan Ave in January with the wind off the lake. Tunneling between the high rises!   Brrr!

Tsk, there have been a lot of advances in the treatment if ovarian ca over the years and Amys optimism is truly to be celebrated!  Prayers for all!

Tig, I think the bush in your picture might be a forsythia.  The leaves look like one.

Clynn, love the eagle apartment!  Talk about a roof ornament!   Did the kids listen to the movies with the speaker or thru the radio?   Guess you would haxe to keep the car turned on!    Great double header for them!

Lisa, will they induce Kelly if the baby doesn't come on the due date?   I had a car that lost ac in Mobile and none of the dealers repaired them.  You got referred to a place called Auto air of alabama!  They repaired/replaced all kinds.  Wonder if that is still the case.

Hi Beautiful Beakers!!!  These yummy Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Doughnuts feature a fluffy baked doughnut coated in cinnamon sugar, stuffed with sweetened cream cheese, and topped with a dollop of raspberry jam.

Good Morning all! We only lost power a couple hours friday night which was super scary because the power was out and you could hear debris hitting the windows and the roof top from the 70-80 mph winds that night.  I am pacing in the basement in the dark with a candle and Destini texting Clynn  ;D The sirens were going off and warning blaring on my cell. Bless her heart! ((Clynn))  :-* I am grateful the eagles have fledged already in Iowa, praying they are all OK. Love ya all, take care and hugs & prayers...

New "ride sharing" company, LOL

Whew, I've mowed my back yard hill (very long grass), watered my line of limelight hydrangea as they are getting ready to pop with flowers, weed whipped....esp. hard for me for some reason ?....

I am wondering tig - about that "shrub" being some kind of willow tree?...if so, someone planted it awfully close to a house!.
Although I know there are newer versions of them and also different species.

Here is my forsythia, following spring flowering and a close up of the leaves of a branch...willow leaves are thinner...i used to have a huge willow tree in my back yard....I miss it except for of course the pick up after any wind or rain, teehee.

Hello Beakers

Friday night in this area was interesting... ::)  Here is a replay of a Cedar Rapids TV live coverage as the storm came through...
Destructive 100mph storm hits Cedar Rapids live on TV (KGAN-TV July 28, 2023)   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teuGESFcvjs
An estimate of crowd size at the main camp of Ragbrai in Coralville was 20,000 at the time the storm hit.  At 8:15 it was announced for all to seek shelter at a Jr. High School, Rec. Center, City Offices and a nearby church for use as emergency shelters - all within 2 blocks of the park where the riders had set up their tents and a concert was set to go on at 8:30.  The Rec Center was kept open overnight for those that had damaged tents.  When the winds came in the temps dropped 20 degrees in about 15 min.
On Sat. it was announced that 2 tornadoes occurred about 40 to 55 miles E. of Cedar Rapids.

The riders left town Sat. morning on a street just to our north, so I stayed busy at home... ::)

Cards were decent - won 2 out 3... ;D

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Lani, I hope Peyton has his best run today! I'm excited for him!!  :D :-*  That car seller is a "good guy." I hope the fix won't take too long, or be real pricey.

Karen, I never saw a forsythia with leaves like that shrub near Tig's house. But lots of different species, for sure.

KB, I never saw a willow that looked like that shrub near Tig's house. But lots of different species, for sure.

Tig, I have no idea what that shrub is.  I haven't been able to ID it, but I tried.

Lori, are you in your basement during a siren-warned storm today?? Stay safe!

Lisa, glad your power is back. I wondered how bad that storm line was at your house yesterday. C'mon baby!!  ;) :D My niece and Littlest Greatniece and their family live in Alexandria, inside the beltway. There was an  84-mph wind gust in DC during those storms yesterday. She said it was pretty wild around their house, and they lost power, too, but I don't know for how long. Luckily, they have whole house backup generator, so it came on, of course. They need to always have power to run the pumps that feed the TPN and all the meds into my LGN's CVC line, else she would require emergency hospitalization in the event of not being able to use the pumps.

E4E, glad y'all enjoyed a day at the car show!

TSK, I hope your daughter-in-law, Amy, gets some additional encouraging info... her positive attitude is some very good medicine, too!! Hugs, and prayers continue, of course.

Clynn, very nice of that realtor! Love that table setting with the large vase of pretty flowers/roses. I could sit at that table (and think  ;)  ) for a long time.  My father was a sitter and thinker, LOL, and he used to love to jokingly say the silly-sounding phrase, "Sometimes I sits and thinks. And sometimes I just sits."  ;D

BL, enjoy! I assume you and Pip are in cooler lands... glad you found a spot in Canada that isn't on fire! - well, except in that fireplace.

Oldguy, yikes! Glad you, and the RAGBRAI riders were safe! Re. your night of cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5hWWe-ts2s - Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad - Meat Loaf  ;)


Beakers, last Thursday I mentioned it was a "planes and trains and automobiles" day/scratch the "trains."  LOL. My car becoming not usable was the "automobiles" part of that story. It's supposed to get fixed tomorrow (Monday), fingers crossed. Yay!  :)  The "planes" part of that day was referenced because my LGN, and all her family, were bound, early that morning, from D.C. to Boston, for my LGN's clinic visit that same day with her panel of specialists at Children's Hospital there. While they were getting ready to board their flight in D.C., they saw the tail of their plane catch on fire. !!  !!  !!  Yep, they did.  They waited 2 more hours, till their flight was then cancelled. No mention of the fire was ever made to the passengers - just the long delay, followed by the cancellation. They went to baggage claim and waited a very long time, and their checked bags never arrived, because, as they learned, their 2 checked bags had been put on a different plane to Boston. Well, they were no longer going on to BOS on any other flight that day, because there would be no way to make their clinic visit, so there was no reason to go. The clinic visit, and the trip to BOS, are now re-scheduled for another day. One of their 2 checked bags has made its way back to them. I don't know if they've gotten the other bag back yet. The re-scheduled hospital clinic visit and trip to BOS will not be a family trip - only my LGN and her mom will go - it will be a long day of same-day round trip flights, with the clinic visit at the hospital... what our family calls "doing the Boston Marathon." Days off from work had been taken by both parents for the trip this past Thursday, that got canceled, and both little kids had a very long wait at the airport, only to end up driving back home. Thank goodness, all four of them are very resilient!!  :-* :-* :-* :-*
 Tomorrow is another day.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

karen - I had not thought to ask Bradley about the inducing question till you asked me.  He replied, and said, if she does not have baby this week they will induce on August 10th.  And, looked up Auto Air of Alabama, and it seems they are still in business!

Lori - The Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Doughnuts sound delicious! 

Lani - Beautiful tweet, and sweet pup with the butterfly.

kb - New "ride sharing" company  ;D 

oldguy - Thanks goodness the Ragbrai riders had some place to seek shelter in the storm.  Thanks for the videos, and for the info on the Q-Kids video.  Bellamy is growing up!

baz - I need to practice your Snoopy.  Bradley lives not too far from your niece and lgn, and he did say the winds were wild over there, too.  Hope the next Boston Marathon trip for Punkin goes smoothly.

Sunny - high of 70

Phyl - Love your cute morning graphic!  Car show we went to yesterday was fun!  Kris took his vw bug and won an award for 'best paint'!  Let me say, that he never expects to win, he actually just goes for the enjoyment and fun of being around all the folks - he knows no stranger!  8)

Tsk - Thanks for asking about the car show - it was fun - it was exclusive for VWs.  It was the 2nd annual 'Nor Cal Dub Affair'  It was held this year in San Juan Bautista, Ca.
I clicked on your caption of 'Try this out' and I sure was not expecting to see that!!! Amazing!!!

Clynn - Glad that Honey is still hangin' in there! ;D   Good story about your Realtor - so nice to have such a good business relationship. :)

LisaG - Sounds like everyone is as ready as can be for the blessed and happy event! ;D

Karen - You and Piper try to stay cool in that heat advisory!

Lori - Like your post this morning!  Scary time when the power went out and stuff was hitting the windows with those extremely high winds - glad you stayed safe.

Lani - Beautiful vid of the Monarch migration - thanks for posting!  I see that Karen has remembered today Peyton was taking part in a big competition today!!  Hope he has a great time and that all goes really well for him!!

Kb - You sure do work hard to keep your yard so green and beautiful!  I bet you enjoy sitting outside when its not too hot. :)

Oldguy - Wow :o  Amazing vid shows how scary and intense the situation was.   

Baz - I love what your Father used to jokingly say - it makes sense too! Lol!  Oh no - sorry to hear about the airplane not working out to take your LGN & her Mom to Boston.  It is a shame that your LGN had to miss an important medical appt., but better to stay safe than sorry.  It so hard on a family when things like this happen at the airport.  Hope they have received their 2nd piece of 'lost' luggage.  Special hugs to all of them.

Beakers have a peaceful Sunday.

Eagles,  y favorite car of all time was a 1965, British .racing Green, karmin Ghia!   If they produced one now i would. Buy it!  Lol, no bells or whistles on it and  very tiring to drive but what fun!   Post a picture of  Kris’s inning paint job!

Lisa, I am no surprised aa if a is still in business.  They do good work.  I wish cars werestill made with the side vent windows.   You could open them so they directed air to your face.   You had ti be going 25 mph or more for it ti make you cool!    Clynn, I do not remember ever seeing those thingy on shoes!  Never heard of angora yarn on rings.  Im my day it was adhesive tape!   I hAd an angira sweater once!   I was a shedding mess!

CLYNN  Great story about nice people in your life - they are out there for sure!!     LOLOL on the drive -in movie experience.  They might not be around a generation from now.   Wow  gorgeous photo captured by Nichole.  Lots of interpretations I expect.  ;)

LORI  Those cheesecake donuts look amazing.  Gosh I'd love one right now  LOL   Was Dad down there too?  Pretty darn scary - good to have a friend to keep you steady!  Good idea KAREN mentioned about battery operated devices in emergency.

LANI  Released 4 females today just itching to get out as we were still at Tim's son when they should have been let out  LOL  What a sweet pup  :D

KB  LOL on the ride sharing  ;D

OLDGUY   Boy oh boy - thanks for the live report of that awful storm.   Often wondered if birds react to thunder - this chickadee did.  Bellamy did a pretty good job  ;)    Hysterical Lulu getting a bath  LOLOL

BAZI   Lucky for your niece that they had the back up generator.     What a mess a the "Boston Marathon".  My first thought??  So glad that didn't happen in the air!!!  Resilient is the word.. :o      Bazi  wish I could bring to my consciousness that lovely saying in moments of challenge!!

KAREN  I remember a VA patient I had , had just been discharged from Vietnam and was his broadside in his Karmen Ghia and became paraplegic - So I have sad memories of that car.

Nice visit today with Chris Amy and Emmett.   Amy will have her sister here from Florida for her first Chemo in late Aug -= she is an oncology nurse - ( makes me feel better).  Her Mom will come up for the second and she is a retired nurse.

Tsk, so sorry about your patient!   Sounds like some good news and help for Amy from some experienced family!   It will be interesting to see how she reacts to the treatment!  Some sre sick day one and back to work on day two!   There are so many different treatments,  does she know if she will lose her hair?  Some folks I know have gotten a very short cut to ease the transion. Oh, I am so sorry for her as well!

CLynn-awesome Nichole Cornelison  photo in Pella Iowa last night.    That's some Drive-In theater set-up the Muchkins have in Erin's pickUp.  Some apt building and roof!
      That was a super nice gesture from your former relator

Lisa- for some reason I was under the impression Kelly was due next week. Summer is the worst time to be PG for sure

Karen- you and Piper take care, as you know the heat indices are worse in the big cities.

Lori- cute puppy trying to deliver the newspaper; hope your grandma  and your family are doing well

Lani- Me two---see that Karen mentioned Payton's race today---I thought so but not sure ( I got Kelly's due date wrong  :(  )  Anyway, hoping he wins the race!

Kb- LOL new 'ride sharing'.

OG-thanks for the weather updates/links and QKids;      :o  those weather videos   ; 2/3 isn't bad card night

Baz- here's to the  next Boston Marathon trip for Punkin runs more smoothly; down right frightening to see your flight's engine catch fire!

Tsk- the support Amy's sisters and mom 's training is priceless. It would only add to her already strong resolve. Surviving the treatments is no small feat in it's self... Tks for update.   :( about a former patient

E4E- that is so cool Kris's vw bug winning  award for 'best paint'. I bet he's all smiles  ;)

  So sorry for Everyone's 'troubles  and cares' candles lit on our home alter.

Congrats Kris!!

Tsk, I wonder where the cool Eagle building is located? the oil remover is called "Oil Eater Overnight Stain Remover." It works  ;D.

Clynn, great news Kay's home sold so quickly. I'd use that realtor again too.... what a great set up for the kids to watch the movies. I bet they had a great time....  awesome pic of Iowa sky! Spooky too! ... prayers for Honey  :-*

Lisa, I understand Kelly's need to have baby now, it's hot and humid and she's feeling uncomfortable. I bet she'll enjoy having her mom near, but then everyone will be looking at her and watching her every twinges. And thinking "is it time?" ... funny description of Daisy, she's a troublemaker/Dora the Explorer! She must take after her dad, cause Misty is very laid back.

Lori the Cheesecake Stuffed Baked Doughnuts look absolutely delicious.... very glad you, Destini and Clynn/family are alright after the Friday night storms.

Karen, Baz, , Peyton's race was last night. He came in 8th out of 13. And improved his time by 4 seconds. He got caught in the middle of the pack and had a hard time moving out of it. It was a fun trip for the family. He's definitely got the racing bug and will continue to work hard on improving his time. Aly and Dewey drove back to Medford today. My sister/family returning back to Hawaii tonight.

Kb, "ride sharing" company  ;D ... gorgeous lush yard.

Oldguy, awww poor mama bird....  Bellamy did a great job! Beckett is great on the drums! Good night at cards... thank goodness, the riders were able to seek shelter during the storm. .. Maru  ;D

Baz, I pray the next Boston marathon trip goes well for Lil Punkin and her mom. Glad their luggage was returned back to them.

Eagles, congratulations to Kris for winning an award at the car show. Peyton did have a great time, met and made many new friends! Just like Kris.  ;D I hope your sister is feeling better.

Tsk, I posted the monarchs for you... sorry about your patient... glad to hear Amy will have experienced help within her family, that will be very comforting for her. Prayers for her, Chris and Emmett.

Good night!

Today...a high of  92F  partly sunny, humid at 66% and  high pollen count.
 Our nighttime low 66F  with clear skies           


Last Saturday we got the new deck chairs unpacked and set up. That  night we had are real 'soaker' of a rain shower.  And, Sunday morning we eagerly took our fresh brewed java out with us to enjoy the cool crisp breeze that was our gift as it blew over  still 'moist' wood and earth beneath. It was wonderful as we delighted in the monarchs flittering here and there with the bluebirds, parents and  2nd clutch teenagers assisting in the care and feeding of  the  3rd clutches hatchlings.


And...Howdy Y'all !


Congrats to Peyton on a good show.

HI EVERYONE ON THIS MONDAY MORNING

64 heading to 82  DP  61 So a comfortable day ahead.  Had all the windows open last night for the first time in ages.

EAGLES    WOW  Good going for Kris.   ;D ;D   Imagine - out of all of the cars attending - quite an accomplishment!

PHYL  I believe Kelly's baby is due Aug 2.  Good description of your Sunday AM  What are the deck chairs like?   Great to hear all 5 of the clutch hatched  :)

LANI  Thanks for the name of the driveway oil remover - I'm passing along to Tim.  Good first experience for Peyton. ;D  He's got the racing bug now and will continue to improve his time.  Thanks for the update and glad to hear Aly was able to visit with her Aunt.   We have a Deacon at our church who will be going to Oahu in January for a marathon ( he's a regular runner) with his wife.  They want to take in a second Island while there and he has been to Hawaii before and wants to go back - I suggest Kauai as it would definitely be the isle of return for me.  He's considering.

Lani, Peyton did great! And now he has a real goal to strive for and he improved his timing! I bet he will try even harder now! Didn't know Aly was home! How is life going for her in Medford? That is a very long car ride!

E4E, congrats to Kris for a winning paint job, I bet he is very particular with anything to do with his restored cars! Would love to see a picture!

Phyl, Honey is still eating, she jumps up on the counter when I am getting her food ready, then she checks out Harley's dish, done on the floor. He usually leaves some of the gravy and she likes it. They they both jump up on the table waiting for their treats, just staring at me until I bring them. She ate 4 pieces, that's good for her, but I have to stand there because Harley will gobble his up and come after hers... Love the picture of the five little bluebirds! You and Jim are good landlords! It sounds wonderful, to sit on your deck and watch all your bluebirds!  They love your place! Great picture of the bear waiting... waiting...

tsk, Amy is lucky to have family in the medical field, I know we are all happy to have Jennifer (sister's partner) in our lives! She is a retired RN. It just feels reassuring to have someone who cares monitoring the doctor's orders...  How was the Monarch release? Do you wave goodbye to them when they leave?

baz, oh no, what an ordeal for Lil' Punkin and her family!  Thank goodness the fire started before they were up in the air! Wow, all that and no appointment! Made me think back to the car incident at the rest area and the uncommon things that can happen!  Hope they don't have any more incidents!

oldguy, great video of Claire giving some of the cats a bath! I figured she would have some kind of contraption to do that! Cats are cats! Good job on the cards!

Lori, glad to hear you and yours were safe from that storm! Is there much damage outside? I am glad to be the one you call on when you are in a storm!  ;) Love all the cheesecake goodies!

Lisa, are you getting excited?

Good morning Beakers

I forgot to post before I left home, but I am in dealership with Jeff’s car today, tomorrow at another dealership getting my air repaired, and the Wednesday endocrinologist appointment for both of us. 

Clynn- Yes, getting excited for the new arrival, just hope that we get to see the new addition to the family.  My Ex texted me yesterday and said, that Bradley told him that he could come to hospital to see the baby, but Kelly was not wanting anyone at the house for 3 weeks  :o Bradley’s dad lives in North Carolina and that is a long way to travel for seeing baby at hospital for an hour.

Tsk - You are correct on the due date for Kelly.  You have the same temps as us today.  These 80 temps are a lot better than those 100s!  How nice that Amy will have her oncology nurse sister there for her.  Glad the visit went well with the family. 

Phyl - Aww great pic of the bluebirds.  Cute morning greeting.  Kelly’s due date  Wednesday the 2nd, but if no baby by next Wednesday they will induce on the 10th, per Bradley. 

Kb - Great tunes!

Lani - Congrats to Peyton on his race…8th out of 13 is not bad at all!  Glad that Aly got to see your sister and family. 

Tig - That is a big congregation.

Kelly's baby  due date, I had a brain 'fart' or something.

E4E- I owe  you a photo of my front porch. Be mind full , I need to hose off the side tables so they match the chairs

  CLynn-I think Honey is doing fine with all considered.      LOL, H & H on kitchen table,  you have four eyes watching your every move. I like your #3 today

 Lisa-  LOL I not gonna forget Kelly's due date now.  ;D   You were previously married before Jeff?!  Well that makes a few  of us here that are 'second-time-around' . ;)

Lani- I knew I missed some of your post! I have to tell Jim about your   driveway oil remover--"Oil Eater Overnight Stain Remover.
You know that man has  cheap kitty litter spread over those oil stains in our garage!! It's an on going oil drip from the Pontiac. It can never stay 'fixed'. 
 And, Aly was visiting?  Glad she's home safely.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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, Phyl, Aly and Dewey drove to Eugene, OR to see my sister/family and watch Peyton this past weekend. Aly hadn't seen my sister since my mother's funeral in 1998. Though a short visit, it was very special... lots of hugs.... She and Dewey drove back from Eugene to their home in Medford.  :). {{{Honey}}}

Phyl, sweet pic of Blue birds  :-* ... Mike wanted me to use kitty litter for oil stains too. But, he doesn't clean it up. I do and it takes a few tries. There are 20 spots from his car on our cobblestone driveway and this is monsoon season. I'm not having the mess. I did online research, checked out the comments sections. This oil remover is fantastic! Pour it slowly on an oily spot, starting from the middle letting the liquid slowly work it's way past the spot, let sit overnight or 12 hours. It dries into a light dust, sweep it up the next day! DONE! I've been having fun cleaning up the spots in the garage. I bought the product from Tractor Supply in town, only $12.99 for 32 ounces. Of course since the outside temps have been in the high 90s, the liquid spots on the driveway have dried up in less than 4 hours, a quick clean before nightfall.

Kb, love the Brook Falls bear! ;D

Clynn, what a great video of Boulder osprey chicks watching #1 diving for fish! The nest is in a perfect spot for teaching ospreys how to be great fishers.

Lisa, talons crossed all goes well with the repairs... lots of hugs and tears between Aly and my sister.  :-* .... Maybe Kelly will make an exception for your ex and allow another visit, that is such a long way to come for such a short visit. Well, at least baby will be close for you/Jeff to visit.

Yep, Lisa, it started with about 12 folks in a private home in 1948.
When our beloved pastor was hired in  1991 things started to progress. We started attending in 2001 and became members in 2005. The church is getting bigger but our values are solid and our debt paid.

CLYNN   We are "taking time to make our souls happy" and I said to Tim - lets drop everything and head to the Botanic garden this AM as it is such a gorgeous day.  So he is almost done with his "stuff" and we will head there.  I even got out early and did my walking.  Energy is just kicked up when the humidity and temps cool down -  - when's fall?  LOL   Those osprey dives looked a bit like belly flops off the high dive  LOL  I think those were the judges sitting above the board   ;D ;D   Honey seems to be holding her own for sure.  :-*

Phyl - Yep, I was married for almost 9 years to ex, he is Bradley's father not Jeff, but you would never know that Jeff wasn't his father.  He treats him as if he were his own. 

Lani - Thanks for the talons crossed on repairs.  Jeff will need to bring his car back at the end of Aug for the panoramic sunroof repair, as they send that out.  He will get a loaner from Lincoln for the time his car is being repaired.  Aww, on the lots of hugs and tears between Aly and your sister.  :-*  I am really biting my tongue, cause I think the "no visiting" even included me & Jeff not going to the house after the baby is born, but her mother arrived yesterday and will be there for several weeks.  I think if one set of parents can be there, its only fair for the others to visit, too. 

tig - Wow, your church has grown.  Oh, thanks for the reminder...I have towels to fold  ;D

tsk - Enjoy the gardens!

Wellie.....State Farm says they won't grandfather me in to the policy I purchased in 2018 for 10,000 in sewer main line repair today....I was told on page 12 of a renewal sent to me in June, 2020...revealed their policy change.....well, I found this as well....seems to me they have to call me which they didn't.
And, I told the agent it was shameful considering my husband was dying in June of 2020.
Wish there were lawyers on here, LOl

Sunny - high of 70

Lani - That's wonderful that Peyton did so well at the competition!!! Sounds like Peyton is a social person and enjoys meeting new people! :)    Thank you for well wishes for my mom and sis (I was over there earlier this morning)  mom is hangin in there awaiting surgery, and my sister seems to be feeling pretty good - just the raspy voice thing! ;)   How is Mike doing?
Thank you for the Royal Albatross pictures!

Baz - Do you know if your niece received her 2nd piece of luggage from the airline yet?  Sure hope she did.

Phyl - Nice to enjoy your new deck chairs - undoubtedly you and Jim will enjoy many more hours out there! 8) ;D   So cute the little BBs have their pin feathers!

Kb - Love the bear sittin out on the river pic!  I've always loved that song from Otis Redding too!!  Hope you enjoyed your morning walk and watering.  I watered out front and a little later, I will water out back.  Watering is something I do everyday too, although sometimes I will skip something if it isn't needing more water yet.
Oh no, just read about the Insurance situation.   It just doesn't seem right to notify you on page 12 of a renewal in 2020. :o ::)  I wish they would somehow make it fair with you.

Tsk - Kris was honored to win the award, but he sure was not expecting to - he was in a nearby ice cream shop! Lol! He expressed his gratefulness & lots of thank you's!

Clynn - I especially love the saying by Mother Teresa in your morning post. :)    You are correct in saying Kris is a perfectionist with his cars. :)   Although he was not the one who painted the car, he does nearly everything else himself.  So happy that Honey is doing pretty well - still jumping up, eating, etc.  ;D

Tig - I did some laundry yesterday - there is always something to be done - right?!  ;D

LisaG - My heart goes out to you in reading about the 'visiting' when the baby is born.  Hope all works out for all of you {{{Lisa}}}

KB  Something like that is so easy to miss in pages and pages of an insurance policy.  Personally I need something on page 1 in bold print that says Policy changes 1.    2.   3...  details on subsequent pages.  It certainly was a time of distraction for you.  In your neighborhood resource group, could you reach out?  If you asked in ours I know some lawyers would pop up....

I got to pick up my repaired car today. Yay!

"Have car - Will travel."  ;)

I did not know that "Have gun - Will travel" - "Paladin" was written by Gene Roddenberry!!  I love looking at the working titles from the old TV shows and movies from my childhood, and see the names that I didn't know back then, but that I recognize today from their further years of work in the industry.


A "funny" ;D ;D ;D

A long time to catch up on---may be they and you/ Shannon can get together  for some fun.  Jim's home and I've told him  about the "Oil Eater Overnight Stain Remover.  ;)

Tig- nice bit of history on your church

Tsk- I have pictures of the livingroom furniture and deck chairs. Now waiting to be uploaded.

E4E- same for you on front porch

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Lani on July 31, 2023, 07:59:29 PM

A special tweet tonight, that made me stop and take a moment to say a prayer.

I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked.. 'Just a minute', answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie.
By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.
There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.
She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I told her.. 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.'
'Oh, you're such a good boy,’ she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, 'Could you drive
through downtown?'
'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly..
'Oh, I don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice.’
I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have any family left,' she continued in a soft voice.. ‘The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
'What route would you like me to take?' I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.
We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired. Let's go now'.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.
Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move.
They must have been expecting her.
I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
'How much do I owe you?' She asked, reaching into her purse.
'Nothing,' I said.
'You have to make a living,' she answered.
'There are other passengers,' I responded.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said. 'Thank you.'
I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light.. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life..
I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day,I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?
On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life.
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.
But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID ~BUT~ THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.
🙏🏼🥰✝️

Yep, Lisa, it started with about 12 folks in a private home in 1948.
When our beloved pastor was hired in  1991 things started to progress. We started attending in 2001 and became members in 2005. The church is getting bigger but our values are solid and our debt paid.

PHYL/LANI    They have new tour Trams at the garden now so we took the tour - every couple years is good to do this to catch some of the newer things not easily accessed by those who can't walk far.  The seats are plastic and very small so you are hip to hip with strangers who become less so as the ride continues  LOL  It is fully electric but squeaky.  Liked the old ones better.  Enjoyed lunch outdoors in the shade.  Tim not up to any more walking .  We did go later in the day than usual so he was tired.

BL, I had to look up lahar. ;D A lahar is a violent type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris and water. Thanks for the Joni Mitchell!

Lani, beautiful story you posted, makes one stop and think....

baz, I remember Palladin (Have Gun, Will Travel) (and every word to the theme song)! Dad loved the westerns and we watched along with him (we had no choice!) Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Sugarfoot, Bat Masterson, Wagon Train, Maverick, The Rebel, Cheyenne, The Rifleman...  I did not know Gene Roddenberry wrote westerns either!  Seems strange to go from western to outer space!

Lisa, I remember a friend at work who also did the three week thing with her new baby...there must be a book out there somewhere that makes that suggestion.  Hopefully the immediate grandparents will be an exception...

tsk, I agree, and our insurance does provide a summary page with the changes listed. If they wrote them up in simple, easy-to-understand words it would help!

kb, I have never had an insurance company call me to explain a change in coverage... I hope you can find an answer and help...

Tsk, great that the Botanical Gardens has an accommodation’s , for those with decreased mobility!   Did you have lunch there?   Once had a wonderful lunch at the Art Institute!   Ery enjoyable.

Lani, I watched some of Peytons race on utube, Sunday!  Could not tell who he was but did comment on the bunching up of the racers !  Much like a horse race.  Hope he is happy with his time and inspired to.  Continue running or playing baseball!   Nice, joyful family reunion.
Thanks for sharing the story of the cab driver and the old woman.  I has read that before.  A nice sad!

BL - Love that first Joni Mitchell video...she's so gorgeous and poetic...no words really are adequate to describe her..

Yes, of course I'll end up paying for most of the sewer pipe repair...just not expected...I have waited for 2 weeks after submitting an estimate only to find they hadn't yet submitted my claim to their claims rep. And, now another week am waiting for said Claims rep to contact me...that's what he told me to do before I ordered the plumbing contractor who knows exactly what to do...

I do think however this issue is worth sharing for other people to hopefully not find themselves in the same unexpected situation..that really isn't okay. My premium for one didn't get reduced with the lowering of payout for the last 5 years..Changing insurance companies really isn't a benefit...They all are in cahoots with each other ya know.

My whole life I've gone the extra mile to protect others including being a witness at my State Capitol for several reforms one of which actually ended up changing Federal OSHA rules...
Wish more people would stand up and speak out frankly. To warn and/or cause change.
I think it's what God called me to do.

Oh btw, did you see how much rice has gone up in cost?....one small bag of Basmati Rice in my town is now close to 13 bucks..... ;)

Clynn - it's required by law in many states. And curiously my new agent told me they should have and he would have called me if he were my then agent.

Funnily, she, now on maternity leave, did call me multiple times in the last 3 years asking if I wanted Umbrella coverage or any other add ons...but forgot to review my file to see I was paying for something I didn't really have?

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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, I had to look up Lahar like Clynn. ... Love Joni Mitchell.

Phyl, beautiful sunrise

Clynn, Your list of westerns are my favorites too. I watch reruns! Frightening bee hive at first glance, but there is a beauty in its creation! I'm sure that shed hasn't been used in years.
My two girls are allergic to bees. Shannon had to keep an epi pen for sting bites with her when she played tennis tournaments in her teens.

{{{Hugs Lisa}}} "Another Day Another Dealership" LOL! .... our washer transmission has been sitting in Fedex Phoenix warehouse since Sunday.  ::) ... I hope there isn't a book out there like that too. I've had friends whose DILs limited who could see their babies the first few weeks or so. But, grandparents were allowed. Geez, this is like keeping the name they choose from you too. I'm sorry  :-*

Tsk, sounds like you and Tim had a nice day.

Tig, I've seen a couple of DIY suggestions on how to get rid of a wasps nest online. Take care and good luck.

{{{Karen}}} You are doing super!  :-* ..... We tried finding Peyton's race online and found a tape of a young man that broke the record for the 1500m race. But Peyton's not in that one. And I didn't see his name listed on the board.... He was wearing an orange shirt/black shorts and in middle of pack.

Kb, Safeway has Basmati rice at $3.99 per 32 ounce bag right now. The name brands are more expensive.... our agent calls us when there are changes. We've had to deal with them too often this year. It's a headache.  :-\ ... good luck.... beautiful morning pic.

Happy August!!

This is Black Bear Lucky when he was a yearling 2007  :-*

CLYNN  The Ponderosa...  LOLOL  I see I meant Bonanza.  It didn't sound right but couldn't figure out why.  I still watch reruns when I happen upon them  LOL   Bee article is cool.  What a piece of artwork.  Trivia question - what food never spoils - honey!  Osprey on the edge is like me not looking when Lulu jumps the ledge overlook the living area below  YIKES

LISA  My niece did the three week thing with her first born 14 yrs ago...Second born - not so sure.  " Another day another dealership"  LOL  Hope your car repair goes well without incident. :o

TIG  Hmm  let the nest alone would be my vote unless it is near a door or bothering anyone - when empty - can it be whacked down with a broom?

KAREN  boy, that is a really early school start - around here many around the 3rd week.  Yes, at the garden during the summer they grill basic stuff outdoors on one of the patios.  Very $$ however but not something you do every day.  We enjoyed a spot in the shade that had opened up.  Burger for Tim and a brat for me  ;D   Do your HHAs prepare meals for you?, clean up a bit?  Did they take you to your 3 outings yesterday? You referenced  lot of sitting.

LANI  Love the nanny check in on the baby sloth  ;D   Awww  Lucky's baby picture  ;D

We've decided it best to have a professional remove the nest. It is too close to our weekly activities in the yard... and we don't move quickly enough to escape.
I contacted a plumber to do our bi-annual drain snaking... the first company wanted to charge $69 to diagnose the problem. Nope. The second company has a coupon for $99. I'll hold them to that. We know the problem since 1951. The pipe that goes from one side of the basement to the other is not angled sufficiently.
On to other projects today.

I think there is a legal concept called "raison d'être".  It means the reason for being. 

You relied on them, to your detriment, to notify you of the change to your policy.  They must have some sort of culpability for their omission of failing to call you.  Could you take it up in small claims court?

It's been recommended that parents and grands cradle baby in lap and gently blow delicate puffs of air in their faces so baby inhales the air born antibodies. Just once of twice does it.

Current 59 - warming to 69.

Kb - You might be able to get some free leqal advice for Seniors in your community/county area.  A few years ago when I was 60, I reached out for some free legal advice.  I found a number to call in my town and they helped me with advice and it didn't cost me anything.  Good luck Kb, I hope you get the help you deserve.

Baz - Yaaay on getting your car back!!   Cute comic  ;D

Phyl - Our chairs are actually in our back yard - and we are out there everyday!  We are definitely outdoor peeps and love being outside. 8)   Thanks for Amy's blog - makes it so easy to catch up on things. :)

Lani - Love the story you shared last evening - it really touched me. Thank you for posting.    Sweet little TRR sloth baby - cute pic!

Tsk - Glad you & Tim enjoyed the tram tour at the Gardens yesterday - always fun to have lunch - bet it felt good to get back home after a nice afternoon!

Clynn - Re what you mentioned to Baz;  I too remember nearly all of those westerns, as we had no choice either, but to watch what my Dad wanted to see on TV! Lol! ;D

LisaG - Hope all goes well at today's dealership! :)

Karen - Good suggestion for Kb.   Good for you in how you are staying active and going places using your cane - 'thumbs up' for you!!

Weasel - You make a good point for Kb and actually that is something I will remember too!  Okay, I see that Kb said that they have admitted to not calling her.

Tig - That sounds like the best solution - to have a professional do the removal.  You sure don't want to suffer any stings from those bees!

Beakers have a good afternoon.

God advice/suggestions from weasel!   I would not be waiting any longer or even this long if i could not flush tp!  Not sanitary and inconvenient!  No one at the company would do this!

Tsk, they do lights house keeping.   I just had to tell todays worker to empty the clothes dryer!  I get tired of having to tell them everything.  There is only so much vacuuming and moping you can do!  They will cook but none of them are any good! I asked one to cook a sunny side up egg and I got a look!  Did it myself! Most of them are quite marginal.  Very tiring.   They are good at i phones!

Love that picture of Lucky!  Sure is suitable for framing!

Our bears are real, a Chinese zoo says, denying they are 'humans in disguise'

BEIJING, China — A zoo in eastern China is denying suggestions some of its bears might be people in costumes after photos of the animals standing like humans circulated online. The sun bears from Malaysia are smaller than other bears and look different but are the real thing, the Hangzhou Zoo said Monday on its social media account.

“Some people think I stand like a person," said the posting, written from the bear’s point of view. “It seems you don’t understand me very well.”

An employee who answered the phone at the zoo declined to talk about the bears but said visits were being arranged for reporters Monday to see them. Internet users questioned whether the zoo’s bears were real after photos circulated showing one standing upright on slender hind legs. Some social media users said the folds near the bear's backside appeared similar to what an ill-fitting costume would look like on a person.

"Wrinkly seat happens when the back rise is too long. requires a tailor to shorten the back rise by pinning the pants up to the waistband, removing excess material, and then dropping the crotch seam, so as to not give the wearer a wedgie," Derek Guy wrote on Twitter.

“Because of the way they stand, some people online question whether they are ‘humans in disguise,’” the newspaper Hangzhou Daily said.

Sun bears are the size of large dogs, standing at most 1.3 meters (50 inches) tall on their hind legs, compared with up to 2.8 meters (9 feet) for grizzlies and other species, according to the zoo.

Other Chinese zoos have been accused of trying to pass off dogs dyed to look like wolves or African cats, and donkeys painted to look like zebras.

karen - Keep up the good work, and call on the HH's when you feel you need them.

kb - I agree with that you said, it is worth sharing for other people to hopefully not find themselves in the same unexpected situation.  I will be honest.  I never read my homeowners policy, nor does my State Farm agent call when there is changes to it.  I had no idea after Hurricane Sandy that they automatically increase the deductible on our policy. 

Lani - Yes, I am starting to get a complex over the baby name and no visitor thing.  Is it me?   ;D  ::)  Aww, thanks for posting the new TRR addition.

tsk - Wish I could say today was a success at dealership. 

tig - Good idea on having a professional remove the hive. 

Phyl - Thanks for link to newborn isolation at home.

E4E - Thanks!

T40 - That's a bear in the 3rd pic?   :o

baz - OMG, that is too funny!

I have been sitting at dealership since 9:30am, and around 1:45 the advisor comes out and tells me that they are still waiting on payment approval from the extended warranty place.  I said, I will wait another hour to see if you get approval.  At 3pm, he comes out and says, I have very good handwriting, and I said yes you do, he says, they are in a fuss over a $9 charge!  He then tells me, to take a loaner home and will call me when he gets approval.  I hope this is not gonna take as long as it did to find out if they were going to cover it.

Lisa, oh no, there is nothing worse than waiting and waiting and thinking they have forgotten you... I am hoping the kids change their mind, and let at least ALL of the grandparents  in to see the baby. There was no such thing when Bella was born, the whole clan was at the hospital, and many friends as well. And Bella was fine... I wonder if they would allow more if everyone wore masks? IT'S NOT YOU!

T40, that bear has a baggy butt.

baz, love the Helen Wait!

kb, the article you posted says they are required to call your attention to the changes. We have our insurance through an Independent Agent, we used to have a really good one that would call us if something important changed. Not the insurance company, but the independent agent. Now we just get the notice. Where do you find the list of the states that are required to actually call you?

Lisa, I think a mask should solve one of the problems and in time I guess the name will be spoken!  Otherwise, Baby will suffice!  What a nasty predicament!
I’m  sorry they did not give you a loaner to drive home when you got there!  9 dollars!

Karen-what is the name of the service you're using?  I see 'Visiting Angels' advert a lot.

Bazi-LOL 'Helen Wait'

T40- that same mention about the bears in Chinese zoo being humans in bear costumes was on FNC off and on all AM.  Just look at the photos you posted. They're
telling!  The CCP must think their people are idiots and will swallow any ridiculous concoction. ::) 

{{{Lisa}}}

OG thank you! for posting the link to Peyton's race. Later tonight I'm gonna watch the video.

CLynn- luv the Munchkin photos. How are Talon Bella and Rome doing w/o Gunner I wonder.   Hellgate Osprey --yes and she's lovely. Tks for update

Tsk-finally pictures of your butterfly farm. I guess that makes you an "Lepidopterist".  I enjoyed the photos and hoping more to come as they grow and are released.   ;)
Congrats on the new releases this AM. "Live long and prosper."

Clynn

This is actually in the article I posted...
Called the Koski Opinion..
towards the end....there are other legal opinions out there reflecting this as well.
Not sure if Iowa is included..you'd have to look that up yourself for legal opinions regarding it.

The Koski opinion reflects the majority view in the United States. This rule, followed by such states as Colorado, Arizona, California, New Jersey and Louisiana, is that an insurance company is bound by the greater coverage in an earlier policy where the renewal policy is issued without calling to the insured's attention a change in terms or a reduction in the policy coverage.

Lisa, good luck at the Dr.!

Lani, thanks for the comment on Bella's hair, she usually asks me to do something with it, it's usually a mess when she comes over! Ed got that shirt at the DAV, he always looks for 'surprises' for them! Rome knows something is different, Gunner's kennel is gone and he has free reign of the house. He hasn't had to be in the kennel for a couple of years, but Gunner was, he was the wild one and couldn't be trusted! So Rome had a piece of cardboard in front of his dog bed so he wouldn't run around too much and make Gunner unhappy. Rome lives for Erin, follows him everywhere. I dread the day something happens with him...  Love that 'baby' pic of Lucky!

E4E, 'a little too cool to sit on the porch' sounds wonderful to most of us! You have pretty perfect weather in your area, looks like 60s/70s every day, 50s at night.

tsk, love seeing your Monarch operation! You are a pro, look at those lovely ones you just released! The kids didn't mention Gunner until they asked about Honey, and when I said she would be going to heaven they said she would see Gunner and Granny (Sydney's Mom, who passed in 2021). Kelsey keeps asking when Honey is going to heaven and I tell her we just don't know. Honey was coming up the stairs when I got up this morning and she ate like a pig, I kept giving her more...

Phyl, love the morning kitty, Harley with a collar... Harley loves sitting on the deck in the morning, he has a favorite spot to sit and listen to the birds and see the squirrels and chipmunks. Love your new deck chairs! And your beautiful coffee table, your living room looks beautiful and so classy! And your front porch is very pretty!  So, you can sit out in the front or the back! DH2 and Anthony lookin' good!

LANI  KAREN sent you a cute "jealousy" pic  I agree.  ;D

PUFF  You finally unpacked and in a routine??

Loved seeing your nursery in action tsk.  Watched a neighbors coneflowers  be discovered by some monarchs.  She wasn't even aware!  Rabbits munched my cones a couple years back; I never replanted so they found a new hangout.  I got the habit of paying attention at a restaurant in/on an island in Belize owned and lived in by Francis Ford Coppola (Blancaneau).  Instead of touring and learning the property (living quarters can be reserved  ;)  ) I spent extra time during breakfasts watching the birth of the butterflies ala containers placed throughout the dining area.

Very interesting place:  no electricity available at night, had dinner among a couple hundred candles; went on a midnight walk with flashlights looking for local fauna/critters; took a shower with a scorpian; lost a newly purchased Carara sunglasses to a visitor in the night (fell on my head whatever it was) and ate into a pack of certs.  Never discover the identity of the cool looking dude with the sweet smelling breath.   LOL  Spa with treatments I never heard of.  Oh yeah, and newly departed guests to the UK island was prince Harry and his military troop, training.

Whew, that was a long-winded flashback.  Anyway Sue, that's how I increased my interest.

No, honesty - embarrassed to admit, suitcase unpacked but not put away.  Excuse?  I hope to be taking another short jaunt in Sep/Oct.  Did finish laundry duty.  My usual habit:  Always have a case filled with essentials and ready to go.

Phyl - Thanks for the pics from around your home.  Love the porch.  Are those the faux bushes you mentioned a while back?  I am trying to not let it get to me, but.....

tsk - I forgot to tell you all last night about the loaner.  Jeff comes home from work, and pulls in behind me.  He has a habit of looking at license plates on cars for some reason or the other.  He comes in the house, and says, it that the loaner?  I said, yea...nice huh?  He said, the tags are expired!  They expired in May!!!!!!

tskand any other interested in the Belize blue morpho butterflies. . . I tried to find a site description from Blancaneaux with the restaurant hosting the cocoons.  There is a pic and mention of Chaa Creek (an associated property) that supplies each room/hut/cabin with a hatch-due cocoon.  No luck on the restaurant - but I did find some memory jogging pics.  I can't believe I did all this.  You can see it's plush but buried in a jungle canopy.  You can see why they operate on solar batteries and river water produced energy.  Great place to go for a luxurious, but basic jungle living.  It has been a remarkable experience/career.  Is anyone looking for my help?   8)

Tig - what process did you use to descale your drain?....and, I guess what made you think to do that and do you have softened water out of your city system?

We got about 25 minutes of rain too.....

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: camperstig on August 02, 2023, 09:13:54 PM

KB - because the floor drain going across the basement to the main does not have a lot of slope, my Dad would regularly snake the drain (because water would back up onto the floor beneath laundry tubs after a certain amount of months doing laundry). We had a plumber come out to do that but he recommended, because of the age of the pipe and probable existence of scale which narrows the space, that we should have it descaled. They used a machine with a certain tool at the end that scraped and pushed. We have "normal" water... no need for softening, no staining. (???) There was a 20% discount for senior day. Hoping we won't need to do anything again B4 we sell in about 8 yrs.

Puff - Someone washed a scorpion down the drain?  We don't have scorpions here, but I think we would capture it and take it to the outskirts of town and release it.
Just read what you posted about the hotel in Belize - that is such a beautiful & special thing to do for the guests checking in for a stay! :)

LisaG - We learned the hard way to look at the expiration when renting a car.  When we were on vacation in TN back in April, we got pulled over because the rental slip had expired 2 weeks previous to us renting the car. :o ::)  We will always be aware of that from now on.

Phyl - You & hubby keep a nice yard & home.  :)

Tig - Yaay - good rain you are having!

Hi Lani  :)

Kb - That really is a cute/sweet vid - thank you for posting. :)   Yaaay - glad you got some rain too!

All have a good evening / SEDs  :)

Puff

May the weather fall softly upon your August evening as it has us NE happy campers.

Wherever ones scorpion bitten toe hangs there hat at I always say.  ;)

Stepping over a very large soggy pine log in AZ.
Dutifully swept the step over side with my hiking stick.

Bam.
I instantly knew that ones going to hurt.
I thought for sure a rattler. Nope.
That AZ scorpion took some calf meat from my leg.

Puff one got my right ring toe in Belize a little bitty thing. 

All on me and my bad for the lack of local knowledge.

A nasty Hornet sting .. toe looked like a blue potato in the AM.   

A healing hammock .. it was throwing the Frisbee to the dogs into the waves.

But you know what they say walk a mile in my boots without looking in them 1st.

Lani, hope all is going well with you and yours... Mike, the girls and the critters! Honey is still eating and getting around...and sleeping a lot. Cute goodnight gif! Hope you get some rain, and soon!

BL, I put my hand in my garden glove a couple of years, not knowing that a spider thought it would be a good home. He bit me, ouch! Nothing serious though. Thank goodness!

E4E, we had a rental car last year when our cars were in for hail damage, the engine light came on so I called and told them. They assured me it had been serviced, most likely a faulty engine light....

kb, yes, that is the cutest video!

Phyl, a wonderful idea, to have a place to sit and ponder out back and out front! Out front porch would hold one chair, sideways. Your front porch reminds me of my sister Cathy's, she always has it fixed up so cute!

Puff, that resort in Belize sounds wonderful!

Lisa, dang!

some bounce
Years ago my dad had been working in the yard and when he came in the house he was talking out of his head. Mom took him to the hospital and they could not figure out what was going on. That evening the nurse was giving him a bird bath in bed and noticed a red line going up his leg from the ankle. They figured it was a spider bite. After the proper medicine, he recovered.

Currently  76F  feels like 77F.  High  87F  with heavy Thunderstorms, High pollen. Nighttime low 72F  clear skies          




 For work, My dad use to wear those black cloth gloves that were 'dipped' in 'rubber'  there was an occasion that was a close call with a brown recluse. If one is bitten by these spiders, the flesh will rot off your bones.  Well, dad got n the habit of stowing then in the cubby of his scooter's seat. Yeah he rode a 'scooter' to and from work. That is until a bout w/ pneumonia landed him in hospital----he later drive an old English Ford he bought from a coworker.  Health improved  ;)


CLynn- it's #1 and #3 for me, #2 is always a 'given'.  Just love the 'Pending Coffee' !     ;)

I got a call from Bradley at 4:30am saying, he and Kelly have been at hospital since 1am.  They have already given her the epidural, so I am guessing the baby will be born today at some point. 

Morning kb, tig, Puff, karen and all  :)

Lani - Love the kitty in the planter.  All I can do it laugh at the whole car AC/loaner ordeal. 

tsk - The insulin is a pen, and each pen is good for only 28 days, even if there is insulin left in it.  There is a lil knob on the end that you turn to the units needed, and push it after inserting needle in you. Love those coffee cups

Phyl - The lil bushes are cute.  Yes, the insulin is in addition to my other diabetes med.  I take Metformin, 2000mg daily.  Love the lanterns in the good night pic.

E4E - Ugh, so sorry that happened to you while on vacation!

I took a trip this a.m. to "re-home" a bunny. While I was away the pro came and sprayed the hornet nest. I'll go out later and drop it into a garbage bag. I also hand pulled a few weeds on my way to chalk "Free" on the pallet (from the mulch) Camper set out. Hopefully someone will take it soon.

Eagles, we're going to be in the mid 90's this week. Thankfully it was 66 this am, and light humidity for walking. Also, I love the nights getting longer. Sunrise was 5:38am  ;D .. Mike's mom taught me to do the same thing with my garden gloves. Gosh, I miss her. She was like a mom to me.

{{{Hugs Lisa}}} exciting day for all of you  :-*! Prayers for Kelly and baby  🙏🏼 (I'm having sympathy pains, you never forget  :-\ ) and prayers for Bradley a dad-to-be  🙏🏼
Mike's insulin pen works the same way.... Are you and Jeff going to the hospital? I understand your concerns, it will be fine.   :-*. 🙏🏼
Kb, Ninja dog! LOL love the cat's reaction and glare, thinking "you're an idiot!" ... stay cool today.

Phyl, your dad was wise. My MIL taught me the same as well. Too many brown recluse stories during our years in Kansas. Scary, but my friends survived their ordeal with bites. The worse one was it was in their bed sheets. I have a habit of pulling back top sheet and checking.

Tig, awww a bunny ....  how scary for your dad and mom, a good lesson to be aware of spiders, especially right now during these monsoon days. I just had pest control spray for spiders last week. The tarantulas are on the move as well. A 5" one greeted me in the garage last Monday. It was hiding behind the trash bin as I pulled it out there it was... I helped it on its way back out the door with a broom to go find a mate.

Clynn, awww wee baby toads ....  Love "Pending Coffee", we should all do that.  :-*

E4E - I used one a long time ago for a short while, when I first found out I had diabetes.

karen and all - I was told to come to hospital, and then not to come.... to wait.  And, I was like, ummm, ok.  Why wait?  Was told that they only allowed two visitors, and he is not a visitors, since he is the father.  Her mother is there, and not sure who else, but I am kinda sad cause I wanted to experience this with Bradley as this is my first grandchild.  Oh, well.  At this point, I hope the baby is healthy when delivered, but I can't be excited as Bradley and I had words this morning.  If her mother was any kind of person, she could have said....Brad doesn't you mom want to be here too, I can step out for a while and let her have a turn.  I know I would do that if the roles were reversed.  He said, I could come between 4 and 8pm.  There is no way I am heading that was in DC traffic to visit for an hour or 30 minutes, and I told him that.  He says, maybe I can come tomorrow or the next day.   ::)  We will see.  At this point...I am a lil mad.

A few "missteps" being taken.  Sorry to hear of the situation Lisa.  At the proper time a conversation needs to be taken.  Meanwhile, just touching the baby's sweet little hand will make the world brighter.  :'(

All this talk about critter bites - I have to add a followup to the bites on my big toe at ATF.  Some don't even know of what I speak.  I  am claustrophbic; ergo I  hate shoes.  It's a phobia that worsens as you get older.  Anyway, while sitting under the trees by the hatchery entrance, wearing my croc sandals, where the toes can hang out I felt a bite or so (ended up being 4) which showed up later when I took sandals off in the room.  The toe had like maroon marks, and now began to swell.  Also had a lulu of an itch.  "WE"  all contributed hints, ice, antiseptics, wipes, whatever anyone thought would help.  After a thoroughly non-restful sleep, the toe was not going to go inside gyms or sandals.  Spent next day in my croc flipflops so give big toe big room.  Used "Bug Soother", ice, cold cans of soda, cool bottles of water, whatever... Toe is still a wee bit swollen and ugly, the bites still show color - a color not exactly compatible with the sparkly purple pedicure.

Also, my Belize saga and a few more comments.  Speaking of bugs - you can opt in for a midnight discovery of native critters.  Pitch dark when in the forest areas, they provide a large flashlight and give proper directions on how to carry and aim.  (Hold it up next to eye and ear.  Problems with that is that does draw flying things to that same location, some of them smack into your face.)  No screaming was allowed.  Other info and directions I found interesting and new - If you steady the light and aim into a dark brush/bush you can see the eyes of a spider up to even 50 feet away.  I'm talking a little bitty eye.

What else I did - snorkle (due to claustro they gave me a board so I could stop, drop the mask, breathe deeply, relax, repeat).  Actually we were in a reef where we caught (stabbed) fish, returned them to shore to cook for dinner.  Airport to get from Belize City to island, Placencia, were 5 psgr plane and landed next to a dirt road, main street of island. Just strolling down paths and looking and discovering,  without actually getting lost was a lark.  Scooters also given freely for use.
   
Originally called British Honduras, it is still British.  Air not too bad; from Chicago $300-400.  I won't chance the island flight price guess.

It was an unforgettable adventure.

A few "missteps" being taken.  Sorry to hear of the situation Lisa.  At the proper time a conversation needs to be taken.  Meanwhile, just touching the baby's sweet little hand will make the world brighter.  :'(

KB   That dog was hysterical.  ;D

LISA   At least you got a call!!! :-*  That pen seems simple enough.   Thanks - just in case Tim's doc has had enough of Tim's " Oh I'll do better next time"  He also should be seeing an endocrinologist instead of a GP.  Says he won't do it.(((.LISA)))   It's so different being the Dad's parents.

TIG  I've never pitched a pallet - Use in unfinished basement to keep stuff off the floor - "just in case".  Glad the hornet nest is taken care of.

LANI  Interesting that Holly has lost weight and Tasha not gained a significant amt.  Cute pic of Lucky  :)   Sharon does a good report.  Liked the Lucky /Tasha experiment.  Agree, the decreasing amt of light during the day is beginning to be noticeable.  Don't know if I could ever get used to spiders.. :o  Great puffin shot.

PUFF   You have had some amazing experiences  :o  Glad the toe continues in recovery mode. ;D

So, the actual endorsement coverage ( add on to a homeowner's policy) is Hartford Insurance....Never knew that...the Koski opinion still applies.....but, this is why it's taking so long.

I gotta pay outa pocket and hope they pay me back......not cool.

Sorry all esp. Lisa.....been particularly busy and with complicated stuff that is not good...

Last I heard from Bradley was at 9:57am this morning, and nothing till just a lil bit ago at 2:15pm, saying she was 7cm dilated.

I forgot to tell you all.....I got the car back yesterday afternoon!  The AC is nice and cool!

kb - I hope you get paid back.

tsk - My mama always says, see an endocrinologist for your diabetes.  Yes, at least I got the call, but it still would have been nice to be there and share this special moment with Bradley.

Puff - Oh that bite from ATF is still being a nuisance.  :-\

Lani - Thanks for the TRR and puffin updates.

Hartford Ins. just called and approved 2,000, of the 5,500 estimate....the policy they changed it to in 2020, which you know I didn't know about.
State Farm is supposed to reimburse me. I may have to ask for some premium discount for the reduction in coverage, no?

Blaylock plumbing will call Monday to schedule repair next week.

At least this part is finished.....wish I could charge for my services!.....took so far a month.

Glad I didn't have a fire or a tornado totally destroy my house....that would seemingly take a year.....

Lisa, I didn't go to the hospital until after Bella was born, her Mom was there when she first got to the hospital.  Erin sent us a text with a picture of her and we headed on over. So get \ over there as soon as you get the word!!!  ;D Some women are in labor for HOURS!

baz,

tsk, yes, it is definitely different begin the Dad's parents! That is why I wanted the kids once a week...so I could see them more often.  :)

Lani, Willie and Millie are such a cute couple! Tasha looks good! And WOW, didn't realize there were so many 'nests' so close together, that is quite an Albatross clan!

I cracked up when I saw this!

Kb - I guess $2000 is better than nothing.  Hope you get all fixed up soon. 

Clynn - This hospital has strict visitor rules.  I even called to make sure Bradley knew what he was telling me.  The two visitors who go into Labor and Delivery get wristbands, and they cannot swap them with anyone else.  That is Bradley and her mom, all other visitors non wristbands, have to visit from 4 to 8pm, and that is after the baby is born. 

Lani - You all will be the first I show, if I ever get a pic.

Tsk - Yes, the AC is nice and cold!

By the way, no baby yet….haven’t had an update since earlier this afternoon.

Lisa, that bospital must be protrcting tbe babies from the summer covid surge or the endemic leprosy in the Southeast!
As tsk said, the ac is fixed and Bradlley has you on speed dial or something!

I just spent about an hour on the patio while Piper did her evening tour of every blade of grass, stopping only to chase a squirrel or two!   I will as listening to the whirl, whiz, buzz if the hummers who came very close to my head when .i became aware of some movement at ground level!  A ragged l 
Looking brown thing was running as if being chased!   This poor squirrel ran across the patio and passed with in an inch of my feet!   Piper was not in pursuit of it and really missed an opportunity!  I think this was a. Young one from this years crop! I’m  thinking it is having a time finding food!
Well Lisa, we all wait for news from the Martin house!  Now I am worried about the kitties!  Food and supervision!   Lol!   Lizzie, leave the tp alone!   Seds

Tig - Glad the hornet nest got taken care of.

Lani - Thanks for black bear news.  I know you miss your MIL very much - I know you speak highly of her.  You are lucky to have had a wonderful & loving MIL.   We have some small 'harmless' spiders in the yard.  Hubby goes out and sprays around the base of our house to stop the spiders from coming inside our house (he gets the spray from Lowes).  Yikes, you had a Tarantula in your garage last week?! :o   Love the Puffin pics!  Thank you for Sloth updates.

LisaG - I am so sorry for the hurt you are feeling.  You have been so happy and excited anticipating the birth of your first Grandchild. {{Lisa}}    Okay, I just read what you said about verifying the hospital's rules on visitation and that there is no baby yet.
Okay, thank you for answering my question about the insulin pens.

Puff - You have had your share of bug bites/stings.  :o ::)  Hopefully never again!

Kb - I really hope they treat you with fairness and reimburse you.

Clynn - Sheets for the bed hanging out on the clothesline to dry is something I remember my mom doing, and I also did that for years when I first got married. :)

Karen - Lol! Piper had a good time running around while you sat out on the patio  ;D  Good that she burned off some energy! ;D

Everyone have a good night - SEDs  :)

Currently   75F  feels like 77F.  High  93F  partly sunny,  High pollen. Nighttime low 69F  clear skies          

{{{Lisa}}} I'm so sorry for all the pain and frustration you're going through with the arrival of the first grandchild. I know how things seem to you right now. I'm glad you called the hospital and verified the 'rules'. 
Keep your schedule clear so when Bradley calls you head to the hospital.    Hurrah! That A/C in the car is fixed!

Karen, Tsk , CLynn – like you,  I've wondered who's looking after Stewie and Lizzie  with all the excitement.


KB- agree with you.  So glad you're making progress on the sewer---hoping you get properly
 rembursed.

CLynn- not only do I remember sheets and clothes hung on a clothesline. But as a teenager, I often brought them in all stiff and sterile from the blistering summer sun. I remember asking my mom to hang my 'unmentionables'  on the middle lines so when the other kids short cut walks from school they couldn't see them.    LOL Bulldog on a John Deere.

E4E- hope your sister and mom are doing well.

I'm not the most learned re maturnity visiting rules - but I don't recall this latest mention by Lisa.  Is it a new idea?

But baby talk always brings up events when SIL and Bro (you know SIL's caution) delivered the very first of the babies in the family.  Just an aunt's outsider observation and FUNNY.

SIL announced her decision that Sammy was not to be crawling around on the floor - She quoted how many germs a baby could come in contact/jeopardy with.  Many sideway looks, especially from grandpa (my Dad).  What the heck!

A little bit of a change with the second, David.  SIL comment - note the change of experience -

She stated that she had found out "if you close the nursery door you can't hear them crying so much." 

Guess which nephew was the most difficult/trouble?????
I don't think "new ideas" are too unusal for first born.  Just the observation of an outsider.  ;)

I got a text in the middle of the night, which I didn't hear with two pics attached.  Jeff said, the phone also rang and I answered it, but I don't remember talking to Bradley.  The baby arrived at 12:41am, weighing 7lbs. 6.7oz and is 21" long.  Her name is Sydney Alice Martin.

Puff - I have never heard of such strict rules too, except with Covid in the maternity ward. 

kb - Aww, the pup

Phyl - Thanks, but not going to hospital.  Bradley knows how the traffic is around here at the time I would need to head that way. 

Lani - So glad the AC ordeal is over.  I did not even have to pay a deductible with my extended warranty. 

karen - The Mom went back and forth to their house to check on kitties.  She has the wristband to come and go from the hospital.  Their house is not but 10 minutes away from hospital.

Overcast / wet - warming to 72 today!

Lani - My sis voice is getting clearer & stronger - healing well! My mom is doing alright - just awaiting surgery on the 17th.

Phyl - Lol! I remember how my mom would hang our 'unmentionables' in the middle of the clotheslines (out of sight) with towels & sheets on the outer lines. ;D   'International Clouded Leopard Day - love it - had not heard of this Leopard.

Kb - Loved the Japanese Puffer Fish vid - watched it twice - so Amazing!!!!!

Puff - Like the reminder story of babies crawling around on the floor - that was always the norm!! ;D

Clynn - Like hearing of the 'clean night' you and your sisters would have - we had the very same!!   Love the beautiful pic of our Princess DH2; thank you Deborah Victoriana and Sue B.  Thank you Clynn!   Darling pic of Pup & kitten - kitten is seemingly comforting the Pup!

TGIF Beakers!
Morning 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, sending prayers to new mama Kelly for a healing and restful day. As well as prayers for Dad Bradley who can now get some sleep.  :) ... You and Jeff take some time for yourself too, after you get a chance for a peek/cuddle with your new grandbaby and a hug with your son/DIL! All will be well after a good rest. Take care  :-*

Eagles, so glad to hear your sister is doing well and your mom is comfortably waiting for her surgery.  :)

Hi Karen and Piper  :-*

Tsk, good luck at Subaru

Clynn, beautiful pic of DH2. That look and stance of DH2 reminds me of our D1va  :-* !  ... love the dog/kitty pic. {{{Honey}}}

Puff, Hawaii has a main hospital for obstetrics and maternity services. Honolulu's Queen's Medical Center (use to be known as Queen Kapiolani - Shannon was born here) was very strict last year when my sister's oldest daughter had her first born. My sister/BIL decided to wait to see baby and daughter when she was able to come home. I just checked their rules online. 2 visitors at a time, but the visiting hours are now 8am-8pm, no masks needed unless mother/or doctor requests it... Love your aunty story and so true about first time moms, the difference between Shannon and Aly is like night and day. I was so protective of Shannon and with my MIL's guidance I was wore out. So that by the time Aly came around, I was relaxed, and she was such a happy baby always making her own joy, walking around barefooted in pampers/sun top, bringing in a hose into our dining room and watering the carpet. Or she would be  digging holes under the backyard Willow tree looking for the lady bug's home and all she found was a mole. Eating out of the cat food dish or once I found a bee buzzing in her mouth! She had more bumps and bruises before she was 2 and loved every minute of it!   :o  She was our adventuresome baby! fun memories!

Kb, Amazing artistry by the little Japanese Puffer fish. Yes, don't we wish all city engineers had its skill and determination to get it right the first time!  ;D. Have a great day!  ;D

Phyl, thanks for posting about International Clouded Leopard Day. Absolutely gorgeous creature!

Lani - laughed out loud at the visual of Aly watering your dining room carpet!...and the rest as well..

Luv the side-eye on that pup in the vehicle too....

I'm done outside for the day already....it's now a feels like 96 as the dew point climbed fast since this morning. But, got a long Ollie man walk in, and watered both front and back yards..
Yes, they say we might get our first old fashioned rain this weekend...like rain for a few days, but I believes it when I sees it...

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Phyl on August 04, 2023, 12:12:28 PM

We had a nice rain t his AM. With prospects for more and more all week long. It may dry out enough for Jim to finish mowing when he gets home. We shall see.

E4E- I've spent the AM looking for 'item's  in Beakroom I may have missed ...so glad your sis is doing well. Keeping your mom in prayers for the 17th.

Lani- LOL bulldog ; LOL growing up memories of Aly/Shannon...esp    Aly watering the carpet.  Of course I enjoy your 'critter' updates .

{{{Lisa, Jeff,  Bradley, Sydney Alice and Kelly}}}  An exhausting day for all --- esp. Sydney Alice and her mom.

{{{Lori}}}- how's your Grandma and the  family?

tsk - Yes, 41 minutes into Aug. 4  ;D  There was one pic that Bradley sent, and I could see Kelly and then there was another he sent and I could see him. So, maybe a mixture of both.  Glad to hear you got all of your questions answered. Mmmm, Culver's!

Phyl - Most of the pics that I have got, Sydney has been sleeping.  Kelly and Bradley both got a lil nap, he said.

kb - We  had a nice misty drizzle this morning.  It was supposed to be only for an hour, but it lasted for four hours.

Lani - Thank you  :-*

Lisa, do you have
Bradley's baby pictures out?   You can see if you have s double!   Lol,  i have to ask, is Alice a family name?  I knew one Alice other than Alice in Wonderland!  My middle name is after my aunt and a great aunt!   Not a fan.

Just went to a produce stand a few blocks from here!  I never knew it was there,   Not cheaper  than the regular store but I got some good looking tomatoes, red potatoes, bicolor corn and a sweet onion.  Will go. Back and there is a meat market next door I will stop in amd see what they have.  Read they have cooked ribs.

Lisa- I took a child growth and development class as part of curriculum  qualifying for Teacher's Assistant in class room , a few 'moons'  ago.   The RN instructing the class at the certifying community college , said babies have a growth pattern of  or up and out   or .'length by width'   And, yes ,your Sidney will be sleeping most of the time.   So glad her parents got some rest.

Tsk-  ;)  getting all your questions answered . Yum lunch out.

Karen- I was wondering the same about 'Alice'.   Yum, cooked ribs---BBQ ?

88 here this afternoon with dew point of 72 - AQI is decent at 39.  It has been a week since last rain (.14) - grass is going brown again - hoping for rain this weekend.

Working this weekend - rain should keep the temps down - most of the department this week is working on getting Halloween set up.

The Iceland volcano is almost done - no lava visable above the cone inside the cone - all drainage has been to underground tunnels, so no way to verify if any lava is still coming up.

kb - That would be awesome to do for your parent.

karen - The first pic that Bradley sent me right after she was born, I could see she looked like Kelly.  But, then after she was all cleaned up and from the pics I posted, I see Bradley in her.  There is no Alice in either family.  Bradley just liked the way it sounded when he thought if it, and when he told Kelly the name it was the only girl name that she really liked.

Phyl - I am glad that Bradley and Kelly got some rest.  Going to share a pic, of the lil family, but it looks like Bradley has got more rest than Kelly.

Grass too 'soggy' yesterday. Jim will finish up today.  Put red kidney beans to soak before bed. Now will drain/rinse. Then sweat onions, etc.
I had a hankering for chili con carne. 


Lori- what a cute/ sweet 'card' for Bradley/ Kelly 's  Sydney Alice

OG- 'Lady Luck'  be with you tonight

Karen- how aggravating to loose a post esp when a person's finished and ready to publish

Lani- kitty cuddle puddle   :)

Alaskan walrus pup found inland 4 miles....I didn't know that normally in the wild, this 1 month old calf would receive round the clock cuddling from it's mom......so, these rescuers provide it for him...
So adorable.

Humans too!
https://twitter.com/lawrie_dr/status/1687522703769554973
these premature twins survived after they separated them and the less well one was going downhill. After putting them back together next to each other they both survived....now healthy adults.

I hope your grandaughter gets lots of cuddling Lisa!....including from you.

Heading outside to paint some areas of landscaping I primed.....before it rains after midnight tonight.

Good morning, We're waiting for washing machine repairman to return for a 2nd try at replacing the GE washer transmission. He said anytime between 8-9.
He couldn't get the old transmission out of the washer on Thursday. If he can't do it today with new equipment
looks like we have to buy a new washer.  :-\ And we've only had this one for 14 months.  :(

Be back later  :)

I forgot to his post this morning, before i left for Walmart.  Thank goodness it was still here waiting to go.

Phyl - Thanks for kind words on family pic. 

karen & tsk - They are hoping to go home today.  Bradley thought that they might, and will let me know for sure.  I think there is a few doctors that need to come around today to see them.  Kelly texted me this morning to say, Sydney had her first bath and tests at 1am.  They have to re-test her ears as one side was good and the other did not pass.  Bradley said, maybe the suction cup thing was not on good. 

E4E - Thanks, I think Sydney looks like Bradley, too.   :D

Lani - Kelly texted me first thing this morning, and said they all got to sleep better last night.  Oh no, on the washer transmission!  I hope they can repair, so you do not have to buy another.

Lori - Thanks so much, and ohhh, the goodies look delish! 

clynn -  ;D the Cat logic  I tell Bradley that him and Kelly look alike.  Aww, thanks for the sweet pic of the Sydney Sea Eagles, and the beautiful pic from Benny that Sue shared.

tig - Congrats to your Bro!

kb - I have not held her yet.  I am hoping they go home today, so we can go over tomorrow.

LANI   What a horror story on the washing machine - Under warranty?  Free replacement?

LISA  Like your AM pic.  Purrfect  ;D   Ears?  to insure the canals were clear?

A few indoor n outdoor tasks culminated in mowing the back. I may have been lightly stung by a bumble bee. Afterward, I saw several buzzing around the same space in the grass. It is the same location my stepson was stung a few weeks ago. I avoided the area until the last swipe.

Tig, what a gorgeous truck your brother built! Congratulations to him upon winning the Award of Excellence on his Model A.... Rosie and Zeus are coming for a visit?  ;D

Kb, wonderful story about the twins and walrus. Did you finish your painting project?

Lisa, Glad to hear Sydney's parents got a good night's sleep.  ;D ....   After two hours of using a power tool, and a few knocks with a sledge hammer the transmission was loosen and replaced! YAY! I have a washer again. I had to run the washer a couple of times before washing clothes in it. ... happy to hear Sydney's tests went well. Hopefully, they were able to go home today.  :)

Clynn, the video of the two sisters and their love/friendship for each other was special and heartwarming.  :-* ... Benny's photo of the mommy deer and fawn is stunning. It almost looks like a painting.... sweet pic of the Sea Eaglets  ;D

Phyl, thanks for story on the Cheetahs being reintroduced in India.... a nice dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese on the top of Chili mac....

Tsk, under warranty and free replacement of transmission.  ;D. ... yes Chili mac and cheese a midwestern thing. It was a favorite dish of the girls, MIL and MIL's mom. We had it when Mike was out of town! Mike hates cheese, macaroni and chili, not necessarily in that order. Just some of the things on his do not eat list.

Puff, any more news of the fire or smoke from the barn?

Eagles, I love your mom's name!  ;D Washer is been repaired, it only took 4 weeks, and weeks prior of worrying about the grinding sound that would pop up and then disappear for awhile. You know how it is when you hear a noise that shouldn't be there and everyone doesn't, and they look at you like you're nuts.  ::)

BL, Love John Denver, I miss his voice...

3rd clutch for the 2023 Nesting Season


2nd clutch adults   CR 51 (left) and 49 of the 2023 nesting season with Male cardinal

None of the birds were very obliging.  In that they wanted to 'hold a pose' for long .  I had to act really fast  from camera first pickup to  shutter click and  move on to the
next.

Jim is due to check nesting box #1 today for hatchling's growth progress. Fledging is predicted for between  August 9th to August 17th. Hopefully, I'll have the hatchling update later .

Happy Sunday all....

Lani - I did get the areas painted I had it in my head to get done.....was just cleaning up when it started to lightly sprinkle....did NOT disturb my painting. The real project I have of painting is for another day. All my upstairs deck rails and steps rails plus more landscaping and maintenance on any needed areas of house siding...I'm now waiting for much cooler days and nights for that project and have potentially into October to do that.
Andrew is coming tomorrow or Tuesday for my arbor tie up project and other areas of work..
Should get a call from plumbing contractor early next week, just to schedule the actual repair..

Last night on the news they confirmed the Twin Cities is and continues to be in a severe drought..
We'd need 1/2 inch to inch a week to catch up for the remainder of the season which is highly unlikely.

Even this weekend's TEASE of substantial rain looks to be not true....

I watched the fire close to N1 until it turned to mere whisps of smoke at sunset.  Never did see any emergency equipment come to help.  Low, smaller build didn't show any damage, even to roof.  I wonder if we were all looking at the same structure?  There's a low rise, white building hidden behind 3 tall uprights in the upper left of the scene.  Mostly hidden behind barn/house setting and back behind the patch of grass area.  It really took off and smothered the area with smoke.

Oh well, P

Phyl, I am amazed at how you keep all the Bluebird clutches in your memory! Sweet how earlier clutches help take care of the new ones, the Mom & Dad must be pretty worn out by then!  I turned the A/C off this morning! We had a very strong storm last night, I went out on the deck and it was coming in on all sides, the wind was whipping all over. And now we are cooled off! For the next 15 days the highest temp in the long range forecast is 84. It will be perfect for the Iowa State Fair, which starts on the 10th. Of course, the forecast can change and often does...

Lani, hooray, the washer is fixed and you're back in the Chinese Laundry business! You probably have a good bit piled up from waiting.  :o I would probably go buy new underwear before I would go to the laundromat! I don't even know where there is one around here!  It's funny how certain foods are particular to certain areas...we have never had chili mac! Mom was born/raised in Southern IL, maybe it didn't catch on that far south in the Midwest! We put shredded cheese and oyster crackers on ours! And I guess if you liked it, sour cream. (I don't like sour cream, even the name gives me heebie jeebies...LOLOL)

E4E, Mary Alice, Alice Mary, what a coincidence! The two names go well together!

T40, thanks for all the great videos, still watching...  ;D

tig, I remember one time many, many moons ago when my uncle Jack hit a bee's nest ( I think it was bees) with the bush hog mower and walked in the house looking like a Martian! He was out in the fields and the tractor wouldn't go fast enough to outrun the bees. He had bites all over, his eyes were just tiny openings. Thank goodness he wasn't allergic, just stung many times! Be careful!

Lisa, glad to hear little Miss Sydney passed all her tests and is home now! Bet you can't wait to see her!

tsk, chili weather is coming up, it has always been a cooler weather food in our family! That's what I fix when the kids come over for our Christmas, chili with Cheddar Bay Biscuits! One of these years the Munchkins will be over the chicken fries and mac 'n cheese and will start eating other things!  Hopefully...

kb, sweet story of the baby walrus, I hope he does well! Good people involved in the rescue and care. And thank goodness for the nurse that broke the rules with those twins!

karen, 'kids smoking in bed again', LOLOL!

Puff, no mention of a fire in the chat, the barn looked okay this morning. Wonder what it was?

Lani - Yay on getting your washer repaired!  Thank goodness you do not have to buy another one.  The lil family went home yesterday afternoon.   :)

E4E - We are heading over there in just a lil bit, and I cannot wait to hold her, too!

Phyl - Thanks for the pics of your Bluebirds.

kb - Cute pup in your morning pic.

tsk and Puff - Looks like some pretty nasty weather to the West of you at the moment.  I hope it is not headed your way.

clynn - I would love to turn off AC, and open windows for a bit. Love the mouse pic and the one of Iris!  I am getting ready to head over to see Miss Sydney now!

A pic that Bradley sent me this morning.

Enjoy, Lisa!...I forgot, I assume you have to travel over the bridge?...how long a drive again is it?...I assume it's not far from the hospital they were in but don't want to assume...drive carefully.

Can the people at the farm here her?...

CLYNN  I forgot about the oyster crackers.  But if I buy a bag of those, I eat them like potato chips  LOL     Gosh what a terrible day for Uncle Jack.    I was thinking the same thing about that nurse but what did she have to lose if it was determined that the child would not live but who could even know that really... :-\    Iris is a strong osprey.  She just keeps hanging in there.

LISA    Have a wonderful day today hugging little Sydney Alice.  Will you look at all that dark hair!!!!    ;D   Think the worst of that storm dropped south of us.

PUFF     Did you get rain?

KB  Love the colorful AM pic  ;D

Post by: Puff on August 06, 2023, 11:51:16 AM

KB female voice first yells out Linda Linda - then incohearent.  But then she's She's dead.  You can also hear her yell Grandma and yell to someone else - he killed her.  Those things she keeps repeating.  If you wait about 15 minutes, she becomes distraught again.  Some of it gets covered  by HD2 squawking.  I'm thinking things quiet down because someone local comes on the scene, some authority.   

Is there noone else on who is listening or heard?  I thought I dozed off into a dream.  Just me and KB?

Female who is doing all the talking now realizes she has to call her mom and tell her about gramma.  Sad

Not really hearing replies from any others so far.  She must be talking to someone who is with her at nest.

Now hitting too close to home - I have to turn off.  Bye

Yes, and I can see outside from my couch!

I've just now read Puff's post about the apparent 'horror' at the farm near Hatchery.
  A thought...
Any one of those watching the cam could have called --Decorah police/fire & rescue  (not 911 as it's connected to local of incoming calls; and made a report explaining that they were Decorah Hatchery cam watchers via RRP, etc. and what they were  seeing/ hearing over the cam's video and audio. The authorities just may have sent a detail to check  the complaint out. The authorities know about the RRP cams and cam watchers, ATF'ers and tourists. They might not have thought it was a nutter calling.   ???

You are so right Phyl.  It might have help that person, she was so upset.  I'll try to program that message to myself in the future.

I think someone (John?) may have got wind and was sheltering out by cutting  audio.

P 

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Phyl on August 06, 2023, 03:08:18 PM

And, you, Puff are so right!  When I read about John and what he had done. I thought not only was it right and called for to cut the audio. But, un beknown to us, he or he  had someone in cam ops make a call to authorities. In truth, such Info  would have been better received from him or his staff.

You're a really good human, Puff!  :-*

Let me tell you a story, Reader's Digest version.  Over 20yrs ago...There was an elderly lady in Joplin, Mo who was on a call to a telemarketer from NYC about some insurance she had and was intending to increase. Suddenly, the caller didn't get a reply from the old woman. Just dead silence on the land line.  He conferred with his supervisor who agreed he should  contact Joplin Police/EMT about the call and that the old woman lived alone; stating his and his company's concern. The CSR provided his name, tag #, call center ph #, Company name, his super's name and the call center manager name and phone. With in 20 mins of call ending. Joplin Police/EMT services arrived. Triaged and had her in ST Thomas Hospt ER downtown Joplin.  That CSR save that old woman's life and lessened the severity of her stroke!
That old woman was Jim's mother, Faye.

Jim was  a notorious  disliker  of telemarketers  . But, now he will never be rude or condescending to one ever again. Nor will I.

Good Afternoon Beakers

We got back about 30 minutes ago from our visit with grandbaby.  She is so cute, and, OMG that head of hair! 

kb - Beautiful morning flowers.  The drive across is 1 hr and 15 minutes to get to their house.  Traffic was a lil heavy heading there, but we sat in it for over an hour to get back home at the bridge.  I believe the hospital is maybe 10 minutes away from their house. 

Puff - Whatever was happening, it sure did not sound good. 

clynn - Love the pic of DH2!  I was very excited, and Bradley opened the door with Sydney in his arms when we arrived.  He sure loves that lil girl.

tsk - I had a great day of cuddling!  Glad to hear the storms will miss you. 

Phyl - Thank goodness for the telemarketer!

Kelly's Mom and both brother's have dark hair.  Her dad had lighter brown hair. Bradley's dad has black hair.

Interesting story Phyl on Jims mother!  Thanks for sharing!
Wish John would post about the to do at the farm!  I was thinking the fire might have been set by the farmers to burn trash, etc.  i also wondered if the girl was talking about some one killing an animal and calling to her grandma.

Raptor Resource Project's Cam Life 2023 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUlJdWrSII4

  Aug 6, 2023
What a season 2023 was! We cheered HM, HD, and DH2; celebrated and mourned at Great Spirit Bluff; crossed our fingers for the Decorah North eagles (if one eagle could have incubated an egg all by himself, Mr. North would have done it); and were enthralled by the beautiful birds, turtles, flowers, frogs, and sunrises and sunsets on the Flyway. But the end of the summer is almost here and we need to take our usual fall break for cam maintenance and replacement!

We'll be shutting the Decorah and Decorah north cams down at 5:00 pm CDT on Wednesday, August 16. Come join us for a last 2023 chat on the Decorah nest from from 3 pm to 5 pm nest time (https://www.raptorresource.org/birdca...) and mark your calendars for Saturday, October 14th - the day we turn both cameras back on!

Between now and the 16th, we'll be taking a few strolls down memory lane, thanking some contributors, and sharing fan art and videos. This video was created by Marilyn Mitchell. If you have videos, images, or art celebrating the Decorah Eagles, Decorah North Eagles, GSB Falcons, or the Flyway, please send it my way!

Oh my goodness Lisa---that head of hair. Reminds  me   one of me 1 week old with just such a head.
  A sweet one of Sydney looking up to you as you're speaking to her. These are wonderful photos. I imagine the dark hair is from the Martin side?
 I doubt the cats would harm Sydney. But, a good idea to keep them at a distance and supervised for a while. One thing's for cert--- Stewie and Lizzie are very curious about this tiny human that's taking their place.
 The  pretty crocheted baby blanket---a Kelly creation?
So very happy this all worked out.  ;D

CLynn thanks for posting Lisa's FB Sydney pics.  I've spent a third of my life chasing those bluebirds, snapping ,posting and all. I'd miss it should it ever cease.

T40 many thanks for the cam shutdown notice and all. Good to know. ;)

Well, Jim took advantage of the drier weather and finished mowing,  trimmed and weeded the landscaping and clean out 'neath the deck.  Mercy it was fright!.
He's off Monday and I think we're gonna do 'something'   ;D. Probably in the afternoon---maybe we'll visit the Frist. I' want to see the Beatrix Potter exhibit sooooo
much!

Good news groupies. . . .

Spoke with John and facts have led to a clearing of the air.

He did rewind and listened to the recording that I and others found disturbing.  What he had heard was not only clearer, but he had more that he deciphered.

There was a young couple from CA.  Girl had lost a newborn from possible suffacation.  Some how her condition was brought out and she was living through things again.  He contacted Dave Kester who is local.  Dave checked things out first hand and it appeared safe to close the checkup satisfied.

Sorry for my own overreaction.  I just got my own mind/memories overworking.  So sorry.

Kb, darling beagle ...

Phyl, thanks for BB update.

Clynn, I did laundry yesterday. We drove to Mesa today and sold Aly's car, afterward we spent time with Shannon. She's doing well. Miserably hot day.... beautiful Iris. {{{Honey}}}

Lisa, adorably pic of Sydney wrapped up like a burrito, beautiful dark brown hair, and such darling crib sheets. They have such wonderful baby things ....  gorgeous DH2 on the Y.... very happy for you and Jeff being able to spend TLC time with Sydney and her mom/dad! Love your pic with Bradley and baby, gorgeous baby blanket.  :-* Since Clynn posted your pic, and went to your FB and saw the rest of the pics. What a wonderful day of cuddling with Sydney, wonderful pics, especially Jeff holding a sleepy Sydney. And Ziva looks sweet.... Bradley looks so happy! I hope Kelly is doing well and rested.

Goodness, I'm reading everyone's comments about screaming, someone being killed and whimpering near N1!  :'(  I went to Decorah chat and went back in time 12 hours ago. Mod GABear  said they were aware and turned off the sound. There are homes below and the microphone was picking up sounds. She posted "If you see or hear anything on a live cam that is disturbing, please contact explore: [email protected]."

Puff, Kb, Clynn, Phyl, I'm so sorry this day has been so upsetting for all of you, how frightening it must have been. :'(

Clynn, thanks for posting Lisa's darling FB's pics!  :-*

Kb, YAY a little rain

Phyl, My goodness your story about Jim's mother, thank God for the telemarketer.

Thanks T40 for RRP info on the cam shut down date.

{{{Hugs Puff}}} glad you were able to talk to John and get the story... what a tragic story, prayers for the young grieving mother. 🙏🏼 a lifetime sorrow. 

Good night!

Maybe 1/2 mile away from me....It has a path around the lake and a walking bridge over a section of it.
Chris and I walked here often when I first bought my house.....Scott and I as well but also cross country ski'd it...Very close to Mr. and Mrs. Tower's nest .....and the coyotes hang here as well.

Minnesota Kare11 reporter Boyd Huppert took this picture on a Minnesota lake with this caption:

"Loons & ducks aren't supposed to get along. But apparently no one told this loon pair that's adopted a duckling that got separated from its mom. They've already taught the baby duck to eat fish and dive like a loon"

kb, what a peaceful place that park must be for you and Chris...

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog, lovely Memory Lane video from Marilyn Mitchell, I hope many will send in their videos! Lots of Flyway birds! You must be having a rainy morning!  We had a good bit of rain yesterday morning and afternoon! And nice temps...79 today!

Lani, I bet you got all caught up with your laundry!  Glad you got Aly's car sold, sounds like things are settling down. Both girls are doing well...I just checked the forecast for the valley, no end in sight with the horrible heat. I wish it would end soon, for your sake and for the animals... Even the cactus can't take it much longer...

Puff, thanks for the information on the disturbance around the cam yesterday, poor girl. I hope she finds peace somehow...

Lisa, I love the pictures Jeff took of the visit with your new Grandbaby Sydney! My favorite is the one where she is looking up at you...so sweet and innocent! I also love the pic Bradley sent you, of the sweet little babe wrapped up like a burrito. She is beautiful!

PUFF  Very strange occurrence to have happen..

LANI  Good that Aly's car is sold and that all is well with Shannon.  Is Aly all settled in her new place?  Job going well?

PHYL  End of another Eagle season in Decorah. :(

KB   Is there a way to sit on a bench at that beautiful lake and watch the wildlife?  Is this where you and SSRL walk?

CLYNN   Cactus  LOL    Phoenix made the national news last night for record heat.

clynn - Thank you for posting the pics and for the kind words, but Jeff takes the worse pic of me when I am making faces!   ::)  Sydney was very much awake, and looking all around at our visit.  Aww, SE 31 & SE 32 look great!

kb - Love the pic of the duckling on Loon's back, so sweet the have adopted it. Thanks for the kind words on pic.

Phyl - Love the Flyway pic in B&W!  Thanks for blog post on cam shutdown.  We are supposed to have severe weather here today, too, sometime this evening. Dark hair on both sides of the family.  I haven't seem my real color of brown since I was 16 yrs old.  The cats haven't really bothered with or got by Sydney they said, but Stewie sure looked perturbed with all the new changes. Reminded me alot of Bandit when Misty and then kittens came along.  Thanks for offering to pick up something at the Beatrix Potter exhibit, but I would not know what! 

Lani - Thanks for the kind words.  Yes, they have such cute things for babies it is so hard to decide what to get.  Bradley & Kelly both said, no ruffles...they can't stand ruffles.  Guess that means no froo-froo  frilly dresses!  ;D ;D 

Puff - How awful for the mother.  I am glad you were able to talk to John. "Are you the gramma whose going to spoil me?" YES, I AM!!!   :D

tsk - You should see all the crocheted blankets that Kelly has laying around.  I even saw something she had started laying on the coffee table.  Maybe one day, I will get one of those creations!

karen - Bradley does get leave from work 60 days, then he also has 4 weeks of PTO (paid time off) to use, which is like their vacation leave, or leave to use whenever they want.  Kelly sat on the sofa while we were there.  She looked good, and rested.  I am not sure when her mother leaves.  I do know that Bradley's dad is driving in on Wednesday and staying till Friday to visit the baby and do some things with him.  He hasn't seen his dad in a while.  His dad did live in Miss, then moved to SC and is now living in NC.

tsk - there are multiple benches around the lake....also, a Nature Center at the entrance with local embalmed species of mammals and birds...etc....they also rent skis and snowshoes etc..

Yes, ssrl and I often walk here but it's just one of many that are even prettier, ie. our across the street from where we grew up river bottoms of Nine Mile Creek, Normandale Bloomington walking around the lake, and of course our city Chain of Lakes...like Lake Harriet....all within a few miles of my house..
Unfortunately, due to criminal increases since GF I no longer am willing to cross into Minneapolis with it's chain of lakes. Thankfully 3 plus more walking areas are closer.

the most serene and people-free parks we walk are the one I posted 1/2 mile away from me...

Unfortunately, we haven't done much of that this summer, as we both have had to spend so much time just watering to hopefully keep our yards and extensive investment in perennial gardens alive..like I said more than a part time job...and all other duties and pleasure have gone by the wayside.

I'd like to speak on yesterday's morning incident --

John and I talked about the new issues brought into play because of expanded abilities/improvements.  Because our sites have increased capabilities, we can now get involved more and more.  This causes more and unique situations.  He did some of his checking including contacting Explore - they have the mute ability, which he indicated they used.  We have to have backups for such wide influence these abilities allow.  Graciously and wisely Lani posted the emergency post for Explore.  After due diligence and safety we might all keep it handy to use for any questionable broadcasts.   

Thanks Lani!           [email protected]

John gave further relief to me that he has contact and local resources with Dave, police, fire department, etc.   JUST IN CASE?!     Good to know and have it in this happening social scene.

I love this...for much of my life it was safe enough to walk alone in the woods or lengthy neighborhood walks where I grew up....I noticed this experience of "losing oneself"...and always tried into my adult life to walk long enough until this experience happened.

It's no longer safe imho to walk alone on trails etc. like I did when younger....but, walking with my brother, with Scott and Chris etc...I did achieve this experience as it wasn't often accompanied by small talk.

High of 70 here today

Phyl - Your BBs are doing so beautifully!  Amazing story with Jim's Mom and it had a happy ending - thank you for sharing this story.

LisaG - Yes, such a pretty full head of hair!!  So happy you & Jeff had a wonderful visit with your Granddaughter - how precious!! :-*  I get scared for you every time you have to drive over that bridge, and I didn't realize it is such a long drive to go over it. :o
So happy you got to cuddle with the kitties too!!  Good for Bradley in having 4 weeks of PTO saved up! When I was working, 4 weeks was the max you could save up, after that, it was use it or lose it (or you could cash out some days/hours)!

Clynn - Thank you for sharing such a darling pic of Lisa, Sydney, & Bradley. :) :-*   Love all the rest of the pictures - thanks so much for posting!!!   Wow, that Cactus pic is something else!  :o ::)

Hi Karen  :)

Puff - Thank you for the update - sure scared plenty of folks I'm sure.   Okay, just read that you spoke with John and such a great thing to post the info in case of any future emergency. 

Lani - So glad your Washing machine is repaired and I bet you enjoyed doing the laundry!  Thank you for posting the link to report an emergency (due to the Decorah incident).

Kb - Gorgeous pic of that beautiful Park area nearby - lucky you for having so much history of walking and being there!   Love the loon & duck pic too!!

A quick 'Hi' I think we'll be heading on over to the FRist Museum for the Visual Arts. We're under an on going  tornado watch---so will be living on the edge.  Think we'll take the KIA.
Think Maggie will be okay.  :-*  She's sleeping in my chair---the big red cushy high back swivel---the comfortable one.

       
CLynn, thanks for the nests updates and other news;  Lisa,  Sydney and Stewie/ Lizzie updates  :-*. So glad B and K have some PTO accrued and B's dad will be visiting.

Lani, when I was age 6 a boy in my 1st grade class sucker punched in the pelvis for standing on playground chatting to my friends. It doubled me up and sent me home for a week. The boy got suspended and homework sent home. That was all back them. But the bow left me with ' retro-verted' uterus.  Might as well made me 'sterile'.  It was never worth the surgery and bed rest to have children.    And, that's that.  :(    Besides , I hate being in bed. Barely there long enough to sleep.       All caught up on laundry  ;)

Tsk it is sad to have a closing eagle season. But in a couple of months we'll start 'all over again'.   ;D   The Beatrix Potter exhibit is closing in a month.
We finally qualify for the Frist's Senior membership Dual  $50 annual from $70.

Thanks PUFF

KAREN  and while you are sweltering we have been blessed with 2 days of low humidity, lower DP and a slight breeze - We have had windows open since last night.  I slept 8 1/2 hours  :o :o :o

Minnesota Kare11 reporter Boyd Huppert took this picture on a Minnesota lake with this caption:

"Loons & ducks aren't supposed to get along. But apparently no one told this loon pair that's adopted a duckling that got separated from its mom. They've already taught the baby duck to eat fish and dive like a loon"

awww Kb, love this!  :-*

I believe it.
Some lake bay in ME ..
Dusk in the pickle just fishing.

A Huge Bull Moose rose from it's aquatic diet.

A just as big beaver was sitting right on his rump as it rose.    ???

Stuffing moose hoof stirred up freshwater shellfish in it's face with both hands.

Well inside my 200 Yard canoe safety comfort zone.

Make like a whole in the water and very gently back paddle.

That beaver sat on the ass of that moose for at least 5 minutes and ate as the moose water grazed.

Clynn, love the Sea Eaglets pics.... That Dairy Queen could have in in Salina, KS, they seemed to all look like that and that's why we love them.... humidity was 87% this morning  :P

Tsk, Aly is doing well, and Dewey has settled in. She's busy and continues doing at least 30 hours a week of online therapy work for her old Payson job. They just asked her to start a program to help with short sentenced Gila County prisoners. They don't seem to want to let her go. Aly can't say no, because she needs to make a living and so far she doesn't have enough clients in Medford to be able to do without working for Payson Community Bridges as well. And her Payson clients don't want to let her go.

Lisa, Kelly does beautiful crochet work. That's great Bradley is able to get time off, to help Kelly, bond with baby, as well as get to know his MIL and spend time with his dad. I remember the old days, Mike definitely didn't take time off. LOL! ... sweet Sydney will be getting lots of cuddles.  :-*

Kb, it's beautiful lake and area.

{{{Puff}}} so glad you were able to talk with John. I found his answers to you informative and comforting too.

Karen, we had 87% humidity this morning and temps in the 90's ugh... Mike had to drive my car, his car continues to leak oil, they can't seem to get it solved.... you and Piper take care.

Hi Mich-Pip I remember that story, and the heartbreaking stories of the eaglets, challenges for the male eagle, removal of the nest, all sorts of challenges that followed that incident.

SED Eagles, gorgeous good night pic.. I took a quick cat nap around 7pm. sleep well  :-*

Tig, looking forward to pics of pups  ;D

BL  :)

Good night!

Currently 70 F   but feels like 77F.  High  86F  mostly sunny,  our humidity 97%  with  High pollen.
 Nighttime low 70F  clear skies          

Spent yesterday's  entire afternoon at The Frist Art Museum downtown.  On the way home stopped at Publix.
Returned home in time to fix dinner. Afterwards thought I'd sit  in Livingroom for an hour and  then go upstairs --- fell asleep  until 10pm.   ::)
Got Jim's breakfast,  set out for him---

Many thanks for the nests updates and wildlife info and photos.
  Lisa, hope you didn't get any storms last night.
We've missed a couple of days checking on the bluebirds  >:(

Here's some hi-lights from yesterday's outing at the Frist , 'Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature':
Due to the delicate nature  of the hand painted/written items by the author herself the lighting was dim. And, photography was highly discouraged.

Jim ended up enjoying it more than he thought.
 And, I  left knowing so, so much more about this amazing author i.e. there are 23 volumes to the 'Peter Rabbit' series
of children's books and  about 60 more other stories involving foxes, ducks and mice and cats and dogs.
Most of her stories evolved from letters she 'wrote to her nannies children;  friends and business acquaintances children to entertain them. These were sometimes  written on small pieces of paper cut  in the shape of envelopes that were folded over and sealed for mailing.
 Her entire family was artistically gifted and her grand father owned a textile mill ---manufacturing calico prints---scraps  sewn together, of which the author used herself to cover her sketch books.
She and her brother had many wildlife pets and dogs some found their way into her stories.
 She fell in love with her beloved Lake District at a very young age as her family spent summers there. 

For biography  and more on Beatrix Potter, author and illustrator
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrix_Potter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrix_Potter)



Since I couldn't take photos of the exhibit I bought a book , 'Beatrix Potter's  Gardening Life' which had many of the sketches that were in the exhibit .
And some of the hand written letters all of which inspired the classic children's tales.

Here are some gallery shots and short videos from The Frist  and The V &A  and Hill Top

62 heading to 85  DP 58 and humidity 76%  sunny.  ;D

EAGLES    Beautiful painting last night.

Hi  NORA  Glad you dropped in  :)

BL  Cool wildlife from your canoe  ;)

LANI   Be proud.  You and Mike raised a well respected young lady.  Glad to hear Aly is keeping very busy and that Dewey is comfortable in the new digs as well.  Thanks for the update.    Bummer on Mike's "new" car...Hope you have a pad in the driveway that his car can be parked on for the oil leak  :o :o    That is the funniest good night pic  LOLOL

T40  Thanks for the link to Norfolk.  That was a hard tragedy to take in, in my early eagle watching days.  If I remember right there followed much discussion about whether or not the nest should remain in the garden so close to the airport.

PHYL   Thanks much for your report on the Frist afternoon.  I always enjoyed her illustrations.  So fun to find out new things about a familiar artist.  Such was what I learned - that Andy Worhol was more than a can of Campbells soup!

Good Morning Beakers!

T40, I remember those three young eaglets and how they went back and forth on what to do... In the end they decided to remove the eaglets because they didn't think the Dad could finish raising them alone. And I remember  the Dad coming back to the nest with a fish and the eaglets were all gone... It was a sad, sad time.

Lani, yes, I agree, the Dairy Queens all had that same look, and they were the ultimate treat of our times! Oh that curlicue on the top! It's wonderful that Aly has a backup to help her income until she gets her clientele built up! I bet it won't take her very long! Just the fact that Payson can't let her go shows how good she is at that job, it won't take long for the folks in Medford to see the same!

Nora, hope you are doing well!

BL, you are a story weaver, that is for sure... I can picture that beaver just sitting on the moose's back. And your slow back paddle...

Phyl, I keep meaning to take a picture of my small Beatrix Potter collection, most are gifts from Janet in England. Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the exhibit! I would love to see it! Thanks for the link to Hill Top House, what a beautiful place! Anthony looking good!

Mich-Pip, welcome to the Beak! I feel like we already know you! Would you mind being known as Pip? Seems like we shorten every name in here... I do so remember the Norfolk Mom and the tears and utter sadness when she was hit by the plane. The three eaglets and the Dad, and all of the things that happened after that. Destroying the nest he started many times, and finally a new mate for him that turned out to be a previous offspring. We never heard anything more after that. They successfully drove him away from the gardens and then erected this statue in honor of Lady...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3okqKIE3pk

Lisa, Grandma! And Jeff, Grandpa! It's a new stage in your lives...you will love it! There is such a difference in companies and what they do for new parents. They changed the policy at WF a few years before I retired in 2018. Sydney only got 6 weeks off  from her work, but was only paid for three. At WF the primary care giver for the baby got 12 weeks of fully paid leave, so Erin became the primary, and was able to take care of Bella all that time. Does Bradley get some paid time off?

Hellgate Osprey Cam - Susan Dimitrakopoulos  · Iris leaves the nest and stranger appears right after. Looks around, then leaves. Iris returns, stranger circles nest from above. Iris leaves. Ah the drama at Hellgate.

tsk - I hope I get one of those blankets too, and yep, I have dropped hints.   :)  I am glad that Bradley is home too with Kelly, but I did have to ask him yesterday....are you giving Kelly a turn with the baby?   ;D 

E4E - Such a pretty pic last night, and thank you!

tig - Sounds like you are all set for the pups. 

Nora - Thank you, and good to see you!  Hope you had a great birthday.

Phyl - Glad you did not get any storms.  We did get storms last evening.  My area did not get as windy as some places in Maryland, but we got thunder, lightning and heavy rain for a good 40 minutes.  Looks like you had a great time at the Beatrix Potter exhibit.

Lani - Kelly is really good at crochet.  Yea, I do not remember Bradley's dad taking time off when he was born.  I had my mom, his mom and his grandmother all there with me. 

clynn - Bradley has 4 weeks of paid time off, which is his vacation or time to use as he wants.  He gets 60 days of paternity leave, too.  He will take that first, and then use up his PTO.  They also get 1 week of personal days, 1 week of sick, and 1 week of mental health days (to take as they please, when feeling stressed at work).  He also was approved to work from home now, so he will watch baby while he works, and while Kelly returns to work.  The only day he has to go back into office is on Wednesday for team meetings, and Kelly happens to not work on that day.  It kinda worked out good.  Oh, the drama at Hellgate!

Aw yes Lisa now starts the planning/logistics of fitting things together, for Kelly and Bradley - and you and Jeff.  A step higher in organization.

I'm fixated on getting DH2 into the next plateau.  Does she have any idea of what's ahead for her?  I don't see that.  I know there was report of munching on road kill.  But has she ever caught anything on her own???  All it has been is sitting and squawking - sit in N1, sit on Y, sit on cliff, sitting and squawking.  Whatever will happen in a week when RRP has squatting rights?  I've never seen them even catch a pic of her at the raceways.  Water-splash-food!  Has she put together the connection?

Then there's the art of flying and new adventures. . .So far it's about a 1/4 mile square habitat?  She obviously doesn't have the same travel lust that I do.  Even DHF - she's been on sentry duty.  She needs her break.  Has DHM been around at all recently.  Without other eaglets or nearby other nest - I mentioned before - our little one has faced a limited/sheltered upbringing.  Then there's us, too.  RRP and beakers all are getting schooled on results of an alternate first year.  There may never be a need to band DH2; she's going to be with us forever?  (But then that would be new possible lifestyle we don't know about?)

A year of learning for all of us.

Overcast - warming to 69

Phyl -Bet it was a nice visit at the Frist Art Museum  :)   Nice to know that Jim enjoyed it more than he thought!   So sorry for that terrible playground incident when you were a young girl.   Great pic of Anthony @ Two Harbors.

Lani - Manaaki and NTF chick vids  ;D       Hopefully they will figure out the cause of the oil leak in Mike's car and get it fixed soon!  Glad Aly & Dewey are doing well; Aly sure is a busy girl!  Understandably, her Payson clients want to hang onto her!  Sweet 'nite' pic.

Mich-pip - I do remember that terrible accident - especially with T40's link she provided here.  Mich-pip great to have you in the Beak  :)

Tig - Have fun with those Pups - I know they enjoy coming to spend some time with you & Camper! Good idea to protect them from the Raspberries. ;D

Nora - Great to see you!  Hope all is good and that you had a wonderful birthday. :)

T40 - Thank you for providing link - a sad reminder of that terrible accident - happy to know the eaglets were taken care of, but so sad for the Dad - heart wrenching.

Tsk - Like your gif this morning.  Looks like temps are good in your area.

Clynn - Yikes - the drama at the Hellgate nest! Thanks for posting pics  ::)

LisaG - In reading what you mentioned to Clynn:  That is so wonderful how Bradley & Kelly have plenty of time to take in order to care for their new baby daughter.  It actually sounds as though they carefully saved their time off and PTO and everything to take at this time - very good planning!

Kb - Oh my gosh; that pic of the turkeys with coyote in the background! :o ::)

Beakers have a nice day!

Puff, I think DH2 has discovered there is food in those tanks over there where my parents keep flying!  This is the closest we have seen on cam this morning DH2 to the raceways, as DH2 was in pines behind the hatchery shop.  I think that is what they call it?

Good Morning Beakers!  When I opened the door to the porch a few hours ago it felt like I might have walked into a sauna!  Oooh!   Another excessive heat warning today! Supposed to be winter in Antartica now but they are growing watermelon there now!

Nice afternoon yesterday for you and Jim, Phyl.  I  am glad you and he both enjoyed it.

Thanks for reminding us of the sadness at Norfolk BGs.   Noce statue there.

Lisa, good thar Bradley has all that paid time off but the cost of tgat is reflected somewhere!  Just saying!  He can taje care of baby, referee the kitties and work all at the same time!  A true multitasker!

Lani, hugs for Aly!  Wonder if a Ford dealer good discover the source of tge oil leak?   It is maddening when things do not work!

Getting ready for hh worker..   Want to get out this afternoon for a few errands!

Karen, it is a Ford Dealer repair shop that's been working on the car. It's still there, oh and now they lost the keys. They came by this morning for the extra set.  :-\. ... sorry about the humidity you're experiencing. It's 47% humidity here, our high will be 85, a much better day here.  :).  Mike will experience 109 temps in Gila Bend today... Take care  :-*

Eagles, Mike's very disappointed about this car.  :( Hopefully, it's repaired this week. Repair shop will drop it off here when job is done.

{{{Puff}}}

Tig, I love Alan Rickman too, especially in the Potter movies. He filled the screen with just one look, glance or word from him. I found him to be a more interesting character than the others.

Kb, good looking turkeys, but not for long  :o. YIKES! 

Lisa, It's wonderful for Sydney that her mom and dad have her care schedule planned.  :-*  Mike's mom and grandmother helped me after Aly was born. My dear MIL was always near  :-* ... awww, great catch of a watchful DH2 hiding in the trees.

Tsk, Mike's car is still at the repair shop and won't be driven until everything works and no leaks. It costs $185 to get it towed anywhere.

Clynn, Thank you for more info on "Lady", it was a sad learning curb for all of us. {{{Iris}}}  :-*

Phyl, Anthony's heart remains home. Thanks for sharing your visit to the Beatrix Potter exhibit. Aly and I enjoyed watching "Miss Potter" movie.

T40, thanks for link

This is cute!  ;D

CLYNN  Thanks for posting the statue of the Norfolk Lady - I don't remember seeing that.  Also for more details that become familiar as you tell the story.

LISA   Sounds like Kelly and Bradley have it made with the time off and paid leave.

KB  WOW  Nature in action with the coyote and turkeys  :o

LANI  Thanks for the bear report.  Jewel - 14  Where does the time go?   Ford lost your keys  sigh - What next...Hopefully when they drop off the fully repaired car it will come with an extra set of keys  ::) ::)       "Everything's mine"  LOLOL

TIG   Puppy diversion ahead.  Yard work will wait.  ;) ;)

karen - Hope you got out the house for a bit with the HH worker for your errands.

Lani - Oh no on the dealership losing the keys!  Sounds like you are having about as good of luck as I did with car repairs.  Thanks for the update on Jewel. 

tig - I bet you are happy the pups are there...enjoy!

tsk - Yes, Bradley has excellent benefits at his job.  I am not sure about what all time Kelly gets, but I just remember her saying she only gets 6 or 12 weeks for maternity leave. 

Bradley sent me this sweet pic of Sydney earlier, along with a few others, but this one was my favorite.

Oof, too busy to post or read today.....but,

Had Andrew out to tie up arbors from our April 1 ice/snowstorm....did the road side 9......will return in the fall to do the north side.....

Have my plumbing contractor coming in the am tomorrow....no water use after 9-10 am...you know, toilets etc...will be fun!

Also walked Ollie, toe nail clipping at Vet etc....so....
See you all who knows when.

BTW Andrew in the fall or spring will be able to re-do my roof over my front steps....Yah!....

I raised Chris all by myself till he was 13 years old....no family till he was 2 plus when I moved home...you all are very lucky.

My son's biological father disappeared at 5 days old.....be grateful...I had my own practice/self employed business etc.

Hi mich-pip !      "mich'   nice to see you here.

Tsk- love your humidity %s; So happy you enjoyed what little I could bring of Beatrix Potter exhibit to our chat for you. Wish I had been more daring. LOL
      I've checked about the gift shop to see if there was 'online shoppin' sadly not. It there had been you could have browsed and purchased and shipped to your door.
       Andy Warhol, ah so.

CLynn- such a sad, sad story about Norfolk MOM and Dad; lovely thought with the statue tks for sharing; Hellgate Osprey Cam and Iris indeed the drama of Hellgate.
Great snaps from Susan too.

BL- enjoyed your beaver story

Lisa-  LOL Bradley not sharing Sydney. The two ladies need to bond and form that relationship that only Mothers and Daughters know.   The entire maternity leave issue has certainly evolved over the decades.  Just look at that onesie and those rabbit head footies.  ;D

Oh Tig! Are you a 'potterhead' too?  What memoriabilia have you collected over the years. I've gone so far as to have a replica of Harry's trunk and stuff the thing with all
           the Potter this, that and the other I have spare cash to spend!  :-[   Alan Rickman "Always'  Been a huge fan ever since I saw  'Truely, Madly, Deeply."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truly,_Madly,_Deeply
 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truly,_Madly,_Deeply)
Puff- when comes to the bald eagles---you always manage to ask the 'right questions'. Thanks  I've been curious too

E4E/KB - sure shoot'n that coyote was tracking for some chow

KB- so glad you have Andrew and he's going to help. Sorry ot hear of your early days as a mom. It took 'grit'. Suffice to say, 'Some men should be sterile'.  :-X

Hi Karen how was your afternoon?  Did the HH worker help? And, Piper?

Lani- tks for Bear Study-nice little rundown on the bears and their cubs . Jewell.  Tks Dr Rogers for all you do.  ;)   Sorry to hear of Mike's ongoing probs with the dealer ship.   Lost the keys, they did? It's a dealer ship---can't they cut some new ones and give your only set back?
I've seen 'Miss Potter' with Renee Zellweger.  Beatrix Heelis nee Potter.

Puff - I would love to see DH2 continue to hang around for a while longer.  She is probably trying to get more confidence in herself to catch her own meal.  After all, she is all by herself besides maybe a parent?  If she had fledged with a sibling or 2, might be different(?)

Karen - Hope you were able to head out to do your errands today  ;D

Lani - Thank you for posting Bearstudy  :)   Oh no, the repair crew lost your car keys??!! >:(    That was quite a Cute vid - 'Yoda' Lol!!

Tig - Enjoy those Pups!   Wow, you have a 1/2 5-gallon bucket full - that sounds like lots to me!

LisaG - The pic of Sydney that you posted today is so cute and she looks so alert!

Kb - You have done a marvelous job of raising your Son yourself.  They say that it 'takes a village' to raise a child, but it seems you did not have a village.

Ginger - Nice to see you in the Beak! :)

Have a good night  :)

Tsk, the dealership's repair shop may have the car ready tomorrow. That pup is so cute, I'd snap him up if I could. Sadie would have a buddy!  ;D

Lisa, awww I love babies, and your adorable granddaughter has gorgeous eyes, so alert and look at those perfect long fingernails, perfect for a pianist.  ;D  Love the crib sheet.

{{{Kb, Chris, Ollie}}} it's hard being a single parent. You've done a fantastic job. So glad you have Andrew to help....  I hope all goes well with the plumber tomorrow.  :)

Ginger, that great news about Norfolk dad and Lady Jane! Thanks for letting us know.  ;D

Phyl, I'll have to see if I can find the movie Truely, Madly, Deeply on one of my streaming channels.

Hi Eagles, talon's crossed the car's repaired and returned this week. You and Kris take care.

Good night!

{{{KB}}} much success with the plumber today

Lani- I just realized I hadn;t replied to  your comment about Alan Rickman and  'Truly, Madly,  Deeply'.  I think you and your girls will love it.
          Actually, it was that melodious voice of his with it's sensual undertones that won me over. What woman wouldn't give it all.  :-[
           With us 'Potterheads' when we speak of Prof Snape/Alan Rickman, we add 'Always'. This  also came from,  him as his response to his nieces/nephews who
            commented that he was always reading the Potter books saga. He simply said, 'Always'
            RIP Alan Rickman 'Always'  :-*

Ginger- tks for the updates on the Norfolk Dad and his Lady Jane, back story too.

Okay, the big machines were being towed by the supervisor to tell the other peeps where to start digging.
I wondered as I'm on a steep hill with only 4 feet of clearance along side my garage.

I heard it will take 3-4 hours just for the digging by hand...meanwhile my ramp is gone/destroyed and all landscaping rock is being piled up......I assume they will fix that all when done.

I just be sitting in the house now for the next 3-4 hours and stay out of their way....I may go mow the backyard if the noise doesn't bother them...

When actual repair starts am guessing the Sup will returnl.

Starting with the elbow..then camera back to house to determine if "pool" needs replacement as well...and a test of some kind...if the pool/dip needs also to be repaired well that means concrete needs to come up first and Scott's shop somewhat damaged...

HI EVERYONE

68 heading to 83   Humidity 88%  DP 66  Muggy and sunny.

GINGER   Thanks much for letting us know that Dad Norfolk is still going strong.  We know he is well over 12 yrs now right?  Is Lady Jane just his second mate?

PHYL   Thanks for the DNorth update.  Rough year.   Looks like somebody is looking for breakfast at the retention pond.  Funny compilation many of which I have not seen. Slo-mo of the dog catching the ring  :o :o :o

CLYNN   Will be an end to the era in a couple weeks  :'(   What will you do with a free Wednesday?

KB  Hopefully you all evacuated your bladders  LOLOL  Good luck

KB- looks very much like the water buffalo in Africa;   Ditto Tsk, empty your bladders!  Shucks, concrete damage and Scott's shop too. Just hoping
it all works out well. Fixed in no time, so-to-speak.

Tsk- got me with the breakfoo this AM. Had remains of chili over elbow mac last night topped with shredded veggie cheese. Tonight will be homemade
 beef meatballs over w/w and w/g spaghetti in a traditional pasta sauce with mushrooms, romaine salad dressed in olive oil vinaigrette

Cats will play with anything...

Good morning Beakers!   Another hot and humid day!  Interesting that the humidity seems to burn off as the heat rises making it a little more comfortable!   Piper says it is okay and goes out and kays down on the concrete patio or grass in the midday sun!  What a girl.   She will go to the Southern Hound Club at noon for a shampoo, mani and a pedi!  This establishment is owned by my vet!   I do not know how she does with a shampoo but she abhors having her nails done!

Got errands done yesterday and want to take a few pair of pants to the seamstress to have them shortened!   Wish I could lengthen my legs but that wont work!  Lol. I was 5’5” long ago!  No telling now!
Thanks for all the nest and bear reports!  Iris,  tell us what is going on with you! Such a pretty girl and good provider, you should have a man!  Is it halitosis or what!

Going to get ready to get out and about!   Have a successful day.

Well, I mowed in back...and discovered an OOPS.....one of my 9 limelight hydrangea isn't flowering.

What the heck?....any guesses?

The hole at the elbow is very deep!...good to know....he found the broken clay elbow....I see him already carrying what looks like PVC pipe.....hmm...how does pvc stick to clay?

and then the (clay) pipe goes deeper I hope (down hill) to the street LOL..

tig - cuties...

I think my grass has done pretty well this year....knock on wood....lots of watering and organic fertilizer.
One area to the left side is rust, which I just started treating...will take a few more anti-fungal sprays.

possibility of thunderstorms today around 2pm....hope they can cover the hole if it does!

Just looked at my now new PVC elbow...it's clamped to the clay pipe on both ends with thick fittings...it's only the elbow that is PVC.
He showed me the broken clay elbow and says it may have been "junk" for some time.
He's actually finishing up this part soon...back filling in all the dirt...not sure he'll lay back my landscaping rock and ramp....most likely, the rock but the ramp might be junk...I need it to haul up the lawn waste buckets I keep at the bottom of the hill.

He said Iner will return and run a camera down to see about the pool.....that's the first 15 feet out from the floor drain leading to the elbow he just repaired.
These pools were done intentionally by the city in the 60's...it may or may not be a problem going forward.
They'll do their best to appraise me of it.

We can flush!..and use toilet paper.

Wildfires in Maui destroyed ‘Front Street’ in historic Lahaina.
According to authorities, people jumped into the ocean to escape the fire and smoke.
No word on injuries at this time.
Strong winds are fueling the blaze.


I have no words for this horrific fire. I'm in tears and memories of our honeymoon, our years spent there with
Mike's parents, family, and friends are streaming through my mind and heart.  :'(.
Prayers for all...    🙏🏼

Karen- good luck with Piper's spa day --she'll be pretty

 KB- with all the other  limelights could be hard to tell it's not blooming. Very pretty back (?) yard and all.

Lani-thanks for Royal Albatross report, interesting bit about the GLS.  It is also what I  said earlier. This was in one of his few Tweets on Twitter about a year or so before his passing.    :)

Yah!....all done....never knew how nice a simple thing like being able to flush tp is....LOL

I will need Andrew to build me a new ramp and probably some more dirt....I already texted him....as long as it's done before leaf drop season i can operate...My ash tree starts to drop in late August/September.

tsk - thanks...I really can't think of any of the reasons they give for non blooming except for our harsh winter. Except the other's did fine...It is near two trees, as are the others, but may need more water as my sprinkler sometimes hits the trunk of trees and may miss that one hydrangea?

Phyl - yes a tough one when it's the only one...I hope it's not dying.

Lani - I read about that fire early this am...and, it's so sad....I had a boyfriend many moons ago that loved Maui sp?....esp. for surfing.....he talked about it all the time.

I also read many articles in the last few months that up to 40-50 percent of all of our wildfires, including Canada, is man made...meaning careless campers and even arsonists....with in some areas over grown brush, high winds and heat a perfect set up.

I hope that isn't the case here.

Lani - Love Alan Rickman, he has played in some good movies.  Thanks for the Royal update.  That giraffe sheet in the pic is actually a wall hanging, or you can use it to lay baby on floor, which I see they did.

kb - Yard and flowers look really nice.  Glad the plumbing crew is there to fix your pipe.

E4E - I am trying to stay a lil busy.   :D

tig - Puppies are adorable!

karen - I literally laughed out loud at your comment about Iris! I am glad that you for your errands done yesterday. 

Phyl - Your dinner tonight...one of my favorites!  Great pics from the cams. 

clynn - Thanks so much!  Have a great day with the munchkins.  I hope I get to see my girl again, sometime soon!  Boulder kids look good. 

tsk - I love to see her with her eyes open.  At the moment, she has Bradley's color blueish-grey.

I need to tell you all about my Mama's trip home from the Miss Fisher Con...lol

She went to stay with her friend in Ohio after the Con just like last year.  Her return flight home was yesterday, and she flew out of Cincinnati. Her friend brings her to airport in plenty of time to go thru security, and for her to get something to eat.  She is all boarded on the plane, and it pulls away from the gate, and then she notices it is being pulled back.  The pilot comes on and says, the engine light is on.  She says, they let one lady on the plane, they call another lady up to the front of the plane, and then someone else asks if they can get off.  At this point, she is like this is very weird.  She is starting to panic cause she is afraid she will miss her connecting flight in Atlanta.  An hour later, they take off and get to Atlanta, which she missed that connecting flight there, and in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  So, she had to take a flight to Orlando, just to get back to New Orleans at 10:37pm last night.  She said, she was exhausted when she called me landed.  She is glad to be home.

tsk -- Lady Jane is Dad's fourth mate since Mom Norfolk's death.

On April 26, 2011, Mom Norfolk was struck and killed by a plane as she ate a fish on the end of a runway.  The next day the three eaglets were removed from the nest (and successfully released months later).

Dad Norfolk bonded with a female in September 2011 but she was killed when she collided with power lines in Jan., 2012.  Between then and April 22, there were 3 female eagles vying for Dad's attention.  The winner was nicknamed DT for Dirty Tail, since she still had some dark feathers.  There were no eaglets that first season.  DT stayed through February, 2014 when their ninth nest was removed from the garden.  Dad was not seen again until July, 2014 at a new nest on private property with his new mate, daughter HE (hatched 2009) who was also known as tHE Missus.  HE was struck and killed by a vehicle in January, 2016.  There were some girlfriends but no mates until Lady Jane (current mate) in July, 2017.

Here's a poignant video that gives a history up until March, 2015.  (I'm not sure of Dad's age, but sounds like he must be in his 20's, possibly late 20's.)

Lisa- Rickman's been acting since about 1978 -seen everything that's been show here incl. BBC/PBS. And rented / bought what isn't easy to find .You have to see 'Truly, Madly, Deeply'.      'Bottle Shock" is pretty good. It is based on a true American  vinification story.

LANI    That is just so sad.  Tim and I spent out 15th Anniversary there.  At on the second floor of a restaurant on Front Street.  This is just terrible.  Will need to check some more news reports about this.  That overhead view - Surreal  How will they ever recover?  So many people displaced. I see from CLYNN's link about 6 are dead so far. :'( :'(

KB  Did they clean up after the job was done?  Too bad about having to have a new ramp built. Was the shed OK?  Yes, the simple things in life - flushing... ;) ;)  I'm betting like you said - maybe the tree trunks are blocking the water...

LISA   What an ordeal for MOM - Wonder what happened to cause that delay on her first flight.  At least she got home safe.  Did her luggage  LOL???

GINGER   Thanks - 4th mate - interesting in about 12 years or so.  What an amazing history on that eagle/nest...[

Lani  So sorry.  I want you to know your sadness is felt by this beaker.  One of my favs, probably been through there at least 10 times.  Their beautiful Banyan tree and the restaurant across the street so you can sit in the shade of the tree.  They haven't said about the tree's status. But just looking at the pics you posted, the town is no longer there.  All those sweet cottage fronted businesses and the docks looking out over the water.  I've been receiving emails from the businesses all day on what plans should be handled, but please give them extra time is what they're asking.  I've been searching out my contacts to get some status on Ka'anapoli, Kopalua, Makena.  Can sit through all 3 meals at Kimo's on the water - can't beat the view and food.  Oh, for sure it didn't make it.  Maybe if you hear from friends or family  could you let me know their reports.  Thanks for the pics - news reports only help a bit.  Plus you would have to know and be familiar with the island.  So, so sorry.

Clynn, sweet pics of the munchkins, they're growing up too fast, especially Miss Bella in her 4th pic. She looks pre-teen. LOL!  ;D... the news coming out of Hawaii is horrible. I just can't believe it. My sister and I have distant cousins, they are okay. Mike and I have friends that live in Kula, and they are okay as well. But, this is Lahaina, so much history, so many memories, the beautiful ancient Banyon tree, buildings and churches that go back to the early 1800’s. During the time of Kings, Queens, whaling ships, missionaries…. so much of our Hawaiian history in this small seaside town …. Loss of life, severe injuries, missing people, lost homes, businesses, the feral cats that roamed the outdoor beach side restaurants…. it's all so sad.

{{{Tsk}}}

{{{Puff}}}  {{{Kimo's, 122 year old Pioneer Inn are gone}}} And I just read tonight 3 fires on the Big Island North Kohala Ranch, and near Mauna Kea Resort.  We've been there too, I bet you have as well.  https://www.sfgate.com/hawaii/article/fires-burning-on-hawaiis-big-island-18288314.php

Karen, I'm so glad Piper mani and bath went okay. Sadie needs to have a bath too, but she's always had Dewey with her. I'm a bit worried about how she'll do.

Phyl, thank you for posting an update. the photos of Front street, palm trees, burnt cars  :'(....

Good night!

Prayers for Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii and its people, wildlife, the rescuers, volunteers.

karen - Hope Piper made out ok at the vet.  I am hoping that will be the babysitting case, or I also told Bradley that I can come on some days when he is by himself watching the baby while working. 

tig - Oh my...that is not alot of rain at all...6 drops!

{{Lani}} - So very sorry to hear about the devastation in Hawaii!  Mom did have a great time at the Con, even tho her trip home was an adventure.  She is happy tho, as the Con will be in New Orleans next year and she can drive there. 

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins, looks like they had a fun day with Grandma!

tsk - Her luggage is supposed to arrive Fed Ex at the house today, so we will see.  Regarding the loss of life in Hawaii, I had seen a banner at bottom of news screen saying there is now 36 loss of life.   :'(

Phyl - Cute morning greeting, and thanks for the RRP blog post. 

kb - How is the plumbing work coming along?

Phyl, beautiful lion family, sad that they are now endangered... Thanks for Amy's Blog, life goes on and on... too soon it will be winter again. The devastation in Hawaii is so sad, as it is wherever the fires rage.

Lani, my heart feels the pain in your heart, it is just incomprehensible to know that something that means so much is just gone... just like that. It may be rebuilt but it won't be the same.
I hope they can get it under control today, hopefully the hurricane winds are gone.

Puff, you have some beautiful memories of Lahaina, hopefully it can be rebuilt in some fashion.

karen, Piper is the best medicine for you! Sounds like all is going well!

tsk, the kids are excited about school, and I do watch them on other occasions, so they are not sad that the last Wednesday is next week. Seems like Erin and Sydney like to come to West Des Moines to shop, etc and they can drop the kids off and have a bit of time together! In fact, Erin and Sydney are going to the State Fair Friday and will be dropping the Munchkins off!

Lisa, a beautiful teacup, I always notice them as I have a collection of teacups from England! Hope Mom's luggage makes it today! I bet she is really looking forward to the convention next year!

tsk - to answer your question from yesterday whether or not they cleaned up.

Yes and no....he backfilled in the very deep hole after the elbow replaced...and returned some of my landscape rock on top....however, as there was wet soil from water seepage and therefore some soil collapse there isn't enough dirt..furthermore, my ramp to the first step beyond my gate is junk.
I have texted Andrew to help...buy? dirt and rebuild me a ramp....

For now, it appears we take a "wait and see" approach regarding the possible other problem of pipe right outside the laundry room floor drain leading to that elbow outside of Scott's shop....there is a dip/pool/J section under concrete in Scott's shop...I'm okay with that as just replacing the elbow is much less expensive than the original estimate which included repair of both areas.

If I get another sewer back up in laundry room that's significant I'll have to have them back out for a major repair because it includes destroying and repairing Scott's shop...so, we shall see. Meanwhile my gate from the back yard to front yard is unusable..the other side of my house doesn't have a gate but a fixed fence.
So, I'm screwed until repair is completed by Andrew...

Lisa - did I answer your question? We are fully operational inside the house including using tp!

Lani - sure is devastating what has happened to your beloved Maui....I'm sorry and hope you feel okay.

taking a walk soon.....Later

Hi Beakers!  I wanted to share this link for the Amazon Wish List for Maui Humane Society to help with the animals in need of medical care.  https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1817BTQ5MWOOG?ref_=wl_fv_le

LAHAINA, Hawaii (KHON2) — Amongst the impacts of these catastrophic fires on Maui, hundreds of animals either lost, burned or in need of critical care.
“There are thousands of humans, thousands of animals that have been displaced; and we’re just preparing for that coming through,” said Katie Shannon from the Maui Humane Society.
Amongst them is a two-year-old sharpei mix dog that was spotted running around Tuesday night, Aug. 8 on the streets of Lahaina.
The Maui Humane Society said that a firefighter scooped her up and put her in an American Medical Response ambulance.
She was wearing a purple harness but has no microchip and is now at the Maui Humane Society.

A small dog was rescued by a Maui Fire Department firefighter. She has burn injuries and was not rescued with her human on Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2023 in Lahaina, Hawaiʻi. (Photo/Maui Humane Society)

The shelter said she is the first of many they expect in the coming days.
“We know that a lot of people are going to need to surrender their animals,” added Shannon. “And we are here with open arms when that happens and address medical cases, especially for those people that have you know, lost everything.”
The shelter is asking for emergency fosters or donations of food, kennels, litter or money.
You can join the “Maui Fires Pets Help Group” on Facebook for reconnecting with lost and found pets or coordinating shared resources.
So, whether you are on island or on the mainland, here’s how you can help:
1. Become an SOS Foster – anyone with safe space can come to the shelter and foster an animal to make space for animals in refuge.
2. Donate – Pet food, pop-up kennels, and litter. Those off island can donate directly via our Amazon Wishlist and monetary donations will be crucial to cover the costs of lifesaving medical surgeries and procedures.
3. Join the Maui Fires Pets Help Group that will connect those that can help with those in need, without utilizing shelter resources.

One more - one last - discussion of Hawaii's horrid days, soon to be years.

First, here's a bit more thorough vid from friend, a local (tourist) helicopter operator:

https://apnews.com/article/hawaii-wildfire-maui-dora-winds-ec23c16abfbeb6ba689f1a98263720db

I'd also like you to get more input about me and my true love of the islands.  I've taken full training from the 4 major official state tourist organizations:  Maui County, Kauai, Oahu, Island of Hawaii, and The Hawaii Official State Tourism Bureau.  Some already know my credentials and love of the state.  Many trips, many hours of book earning, hours and days of finding the nooks and crannies, beautiful views, hours and days of just meditating on the smell and atmosphere, my share of mai-tais and cuisine, and I could go on and on. . .

And then there's Lahaina.  It is Hawaiian to the utmost.  The most historical, authentic area of the Islands.  It is, was  :' , the true spirit of Hawaii you always hear about.  But it was authentic which is why I know they will never be able to replicate.  The town consisted of wooden based 1 or some 2 story buildings.  Most businesses family owned for centuries in some cases.  Talking to the seniors who have stories of their seniors - can you even imagine the tales they have told me.  Spent more than most talking to locals than most visitors; caught the bug in 1971, and it only intensified.  Where now?

Vid shows the West Coast of Maui, most of the damage did happen in Lahaina, again it was lots of little wooden buildings along Front Street.  No really good pics because of layer of smoke.  Lots and lots of vegetation and trees burning.  The beach areas and mountains only sporatic damage.  Spread out beach resorts of new construction materials and regulations will help control vast ruination.  There are newer, tempting, safer mall and hotel offerings along the west coast by the major beaches and golf courses.    Again, the real spirit is the question.  I feel it will never be replicated.  The island people will be the rebuilders of the "Spirit of Aloha?" 

You should know by now that I have a great appreciation of our USA.  I'll travel anytime, anywhere, and have; but I'll repeat until I'm gone that we have the best thing in the world.  If you've never been at all to Hawaii  --  WHY.  Put it on your agenda, get off your butt, find a planner, and you can do it, you can afford it.  With present political happenings, you never know what the future will give you.  Don't wait for the gift - give the gift to yourself, you've earned it and deserve it.

Practicing what I preach, and some have heard my preaching, when I'm done and only my ashes are left I will be spread over 5 of my favorite US places:  the Walt Disney/Mickey Mouse statue in front of the Disney World FL castle, the Las Vegas strip, a pass in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, in Alaska off the back of the Yukon and White Pass Railway out of Sitka, and on the Anaeho'omalu Beach in Wailkaloa on Hawaii Island.  It's in the will.

Thanks for your comments tsk & Clynn   thanks for asking, and thanks for listening.

I will be making a Mai-Tai for myself tonight and toasting the people of Maui.

No weather comments today!  Regardless of what it  is there is no raging fire and no Hurricane.  Any yard, garden, plumbing, appliance problems and etc can be easily fixed when compared to major issues like the erasure of multiple lifetimes of history and living!  ((Lani)))

P

{{{Hugs dearest Puff}}} Thank you, you have captured all that we are feeling at this time. Whether you've been there once or a thousand times, you cannot never forget the beauty, feel it's history, walk where kings and queens have walked and feel its heartbeat through the breeze of the ancient banyon tree, over the rocky shores, and its surroundings. And know in your heart that this is a part of you and you are part of it. The buildings may be gone and never rebuilt, you can't rebuild that kind of history, but Lahaina's heart will be remain forever. And its people will rebuild the city again, because that's what we do, that's our Aloha spirit. We go on no matter what.... I cannot even look at my photo albums of our trips there. I don't want to. I think for me it's a closed chapter now. The memories of sharing Maui with Mike on our honeymoon almost 53 years ago will remain in my heart always.  :-*. ... I think you and I once shared our special place off the shores of the Big Isle where our ashes will be spread. I'll be just north from you at Makaiwa Bay. ;) Half of my ashes there and the other half in Salina Ks., the girls have orders to place the cats/dogs ashes with mine in Kansas. I have all but 6 pets from the 70's. No one needs to know about the pets but us.  ;D

Good morning Beakers!
Hi 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!

Forum is a little sticky today. I had a hard time posting, so I had to do it in separate parts.

Karen, I love bing cherries too, they haven't been good tasting here.... Enjoy your pedi!  ;D

Hi Eagles, How is your sister and mom? Any visits planned with grandson before school starts? School started here last week, so maybe it's the same for CA.
Oh, Mike got his car repaired and they delivered it yesterday! The new car license/tag arrived in the mail too.... The dealership found the key fob.   He plans to have a new battery put in this week and checking on prices for new tires.

Tig, love the pic of the pups/Camper! so cute  ;D.... Great news about the Y!  ;D ... thanks for sharing the Dark Sky cam

Oh Lori, {{{sweet pup}}}  thanks for more news. I've been very worried about the pets/feral cats/animals. Lahaina citizens had little time to leave, I'm sure lots of animals, dogs/cats/live stock was left behind. You know everyone had chickens/goats/pigs, you couldn't walk a block in the morning and not hear a rooster or two.  :'(.  :'( :'( :'(

Phyl, thank you for Amy's blog and more news on Maui. Beautiful lions thank you for history.

Lisa, That great news that Miss Fisher con will be in New Orleans next year! I hope your mom's luggage arrive today.   Looking forward to babysitting pics.  :-*

Clynn, When was the last time you've been to your state fair? I think we went to maybe 5 in Kansas. It just got too crowded for us, and anyway we went for the kids. And when the girls could drive they went with friends.... sweet Sea Eaglets... love the cardinal and eagle pic ... omg! What adorable sleeping buddines... the baby monkey holding on to the kitten and little otter snuggling in.  :-*.

I just checked how my cubs Jewel has had since her first season Fern and Herbie, she has had a total of 18 cubs.  ;D.  :-*

{{{Hugs Jilltosa}}} it's wonderful to see you!!  ;D

Difference of view -  I am and I have been ODing on cherries this summer.  Good thing is they have either been on sale, been a designated "feature shopper" pricing or just staring me in the face while I wanted something.  First time $2.99 lb,  didn't buy 2nd week moldy, then special promo, last two weeks 99 cents lb, this week back to 1.99.  Bought a couple pounds each time and then pigged up.  Yummy sweet from Jewel Store.  Have to go anyway (milk, flowers, script) will look at cherries to restock.

Puff - $.99 a pound for cherries is an excellent price.  I have not seen them here for less than $2.99.  We love Rainier cherries, but good gravy they are expensive!

Lani - Thanks for the bear study update.  Reading your comment to E4E about Mike's car...yay! 

Karen - Enjoy your pedi!

tig - Thanks for the link to the dark sky cam.  Adorable pic of the pups looking at Camper. 

E4E - I am happy Mama is home too.  Till her next adventure...  ;D

jilltosa - Good to see you.

Lori - Thanks for the info from the Maui Humane Society to help with the animals in need of medical care.

kb - I bet that first flush with TP felt good.  ;D

tsk - Yes, a good location for Mama for Con.  She actually helped scout out the hotels for next year's Con.  She had alot of fun doing that, as the hotel has to be historic and have a grand ballroom. 

clynn - Mama just called to let me know that her luggage did arrive Fed Ex at 10:20am!  She said, she hasn't checked the contents yet, as she had some errands to do, but the smaller bag looks like it had been thrown around. It's all dirty. The other case is that big suitcase from last year that she could not lift, and I had to drive her all the way back home! Remember that ordeal?   ;D

LORI   Thanks for all that helpful information.

TIG   What a sweet pic of the pups and Camper  LOL  Great news about the Banyon tree.  That dark sky cam is cool.

PUFF   Wonderful reflection - thanks for sharing.

KAREN   Yes a good sale this week on the big cherries.  Love them  ;) ;)

CLYNN   Thanks for the Banyan tree photo.

LANI   Your thoughts are well expressed as were Puffs.     Loved Shadow's  genealogy ;D  Wouldn't you love to have seen a multi-generational photo  LOL    Mike's going to have a brand new car when done!!!  Jewel - 18 cubs  WOW.

LISA    LOL   Yes I do remember the "Case of the Too Heavy Suitcase"  ::)

Made a trip to to the south Milwaukee area today to the Boerner Botanical gardens - 9 acres - vs 385 at Chicago botanic  LOL  Warm in the sun but a nice cool breeze in the shade.  Not making a day of it as Tim's life blood Keurig died this AM - I made him a pot in my Mr Coffee to tide him over.  So on the way back we had to stop at Costco but they didn't have any.  Target was next door so he got his beloved coffee maker there.  The exact same one.
 ON top of that - he got a new flip phone ( not the new trendy smart phones) yesterday as the one he had - no longer being made - was having too many problems.   Of course this was a big challenge to operate and not nearly as user friendly.  sigh - I helped him with it last night and now found some links on line to see if he can follow setting up a few more things

some bounce
Yes, it took a while for me to remember that a monsoon struck Oahu the night before we were to leave there in 1972. For some reason the tour company dropped us flat and a group banded together at the hotel and sent representatives to the airport to get tickets after it was no longer flooded. 17 of us obtained a ride on a non stop flight on a 747 to MSP.
One of my fondest memories is sitting under the banyon tree.
Lori... Thanx again for the link. It came in handy.

Hi Everyone


While here on the main land we sit comfortable and secure, only able to just imagine what those in the fire and wind  ravaged areas
are feeling and suffering.
I had a pedicure schedule for Friday---can't bring myself to keep the appointment. So I cancelled it.
I've made donations to  The American Red Cross and Catholic Charities Hawaii.

Here's a brief list of the 'legitimate'  charitable/relief organization accepting donations of cash and/or clothing, food. The later two would be
difficult for us to do---although we could box up clothing and mail it to the charities listed in the search

Nothing current from the Honolulu Civic Beat.  However, I was watching FNC-'The Five' and it was reported  that Maui had had some rain which helped ease the fire.

Thnks Phyl.   Good information.  Please don’t send clothes!  The cost will be so high . That money could be sent to an organization that will give it to the needy to buy something locally!   Helps the recovery two ways!

Tsk, sounds like you had a good day!  Lol on Tim and coffee!  I am with him!  I had a Mr.Coffee here some place and have not seen it since I came back from the “home”.  Maybe I got rid of it!  If so, I will get another for a back up!

Lisa, good idea for baby cuddling!  You can pet Lizzy at the same time!

Lani, good news on Mikes car and his plan for the battery and  tires makes sense.

Unlike Piper, I did not have to be sedated to get my Pedi!   Lol.

There's a new gal hanging around.  Scientifically she is known as  Peregrine 53-W  '  wearing a blue band.    She's been visiting the area.
And, we're all excited for Newman.

I know she's listed as  hurt/deceased. But, my guess is this is an error.  Shep has been posting  about Lisa in the GSB thread in Forum.
I posed this,  ' So either she came back from the 'dead' or some one made an 'error'.  I'am waiting for a reply from Shep.   :P

Phyl, the Black Eaglet is growing up so fast! I think they are one of the prettiest juveniles, interesting how they turn all black. Yes, the Flyway looks moody this morning... Good to see a new female, hopefully she will catch Newman's eye!  Thanks for the news from Hawaii...so sad.

oldguy, sorry about your card games! You will have a wonderful time at your reunion next weekend! Thanks for the videos, I really enjoy Juan Browne, I was hoping he would come up with one on Hawaii and Lahaina... I got carried away and realized I hadn't posted Good Morning yet! I am halfway through the one about the dam!

Royal Albatross 8/11
This afternoon Manaaki at 203 days old, was weighed and supplementary feed 600ml of rehydrating fluids and 1 kg of fish and octopus. Yum!

🎥In case you missed it, here is Manaaki's recent GLS attachment with explanations.

The devices are very small and attached to the S-S band with a very small cable tie. Kalinka from Parker Conservation helped with the attachments. Thank you. https://parkerconservation.co.nz

Royal Albatross - 8/9
Wind and Wings
Manaaki used the winds to help him with his wingercizes, and strengthen those flight muscles.
He also attempted a jump or two while hopping about.   
Clever chick.  ;D

A Black-billed gull dropped in to look, too.

KB  Good news for your area with the rain and subsequent lower temps which could get here by Monday.

CLYNN  A one in a million shot of the finch and hawk - Really special to get that.   " I'll go camping" ROTFL ;D

LISA  Keurig worked great - Even a bit quieter.   I got his speaker phone part working  LOL  and we had the speed dial process correct but we were supposed to HOLD the number button.  He went to Verizon and they showed him.  He's a happy camper now.  ;) ;)

OLDGUY   Have a great time - How far do you have to travel?   I want a red panda  LOL

EAGLES   Cute AM pic  ;)

TIG   Awww  Your houseguests have left -  :(   Nice honor for your Bro!!    Sure hope sidewalk project goes well.

LANI   Cute AM pic   ;D   Those little sloths are so very sweet. :-*   Manaaki is now wearing his "Fit Bit"  LOLOL  Interesting how they won't know any data til the albatross returns.  I'd be on pins and needles.

1 hour 45 min - reorganized the garage and swept it out - Set aside stuff for Tim to go through  - like 5 bottles the same car product and 4 bottles of another different one.  Sigh....

I've just hung out today....after many days of previous lawn work, helping Andrew, and watering....I'll kick back up into gear tomorrow.

Oh, I have that garage organizing task on my to do list before winter too...

Lani gorgeous Manaaki...and sounds like a wonderful project to determine where to put their energy to help them all.

tsk - "pins and needles"....lol..waiting for their return in 3-5 years.......hmmm....I sure hope we can witness this....meaning, I count every day a blessing right now.

Lani - Thanks for the TRR update.  Good to see Robin! Thanks for the Royal updates, too!  Aww, naptime for Otis!

Tsk- I really enjoyed that fresh fruit compote for breakfast today. What  you're doing for the environment and Nature is wonderful.   3-4 yrs for them to come home to
 you?     

KB- so happy you have some rain; your porch roof lifted  :(   I've seen steam rise from asphalt/concrete  during a rain on the desert.

CLynn-  it's not for trying on Lisa's part LOL  There's been some hints that Savannah could return from 'the beyond'  I love a 'good' soap!  Awesome Male House Finch vs. Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk , I can just hear RSH say" Come here often?' LOL That's some RV !

E4 E cute bumble bee this morning

Tig- you're always busy outside---I can't forget how nice that little space with chairs/table is in your yard; empty lap, have your 'house guests' left?; how nice for  your brother to perform;

Lani-cute shaded pooch in hammock; t ks for Royal update/photos, Manaaki' still has some 'down' makes him look soft; Otis has a look of great satisfaction.

LANI  Blessings on that aging Otis.  What a sweetheart in those photos    (((Lahaina)))  Can hardly watch video... :'( :'(

LISA   Because of age maybe could Mom check in with a walk in clinic?

PHYL  Not sure what you are referencing about the 3-4 yrs.?  Was it referencing the albatross info bracelet and they wouldn't know about the albatross history til it returned in 3 years?  ;) ;)

Off to the last concert in the park for this season - Big Band!  Dancing in the street and the Mayor is cooking up dogs and burgers for a donation.  Will be crowded as it is a halfway decent night.

This is the storm that came in...my steam was swirling in my driveway...tornado like system that pulled up, along with my roof lifting up...yes tsk, it did land back down...northwest of me got hail.....yes, we need the rain....not the wind and hail, LOL.

sorry tsk about your friends' husband....how awful too about how many times he tested/got Covid...immune disregulation is a minimum, although you said he had other issues. I'll check my roof in the morning...Andrew will totally replace it next spring....I have the wood in my garage from a previous contractor who bailed..it should be fine unless there is a freak wind like that...he took off some fascia decorative wood on the front side as it was rotting and falling off...however, it may have provided some weight to keep it from lifting up I now believe.
We learn with experience, hey?

But it lists her as 'deceased'.
So either she came back from the 'dead' or some one made an 'error'.  :-\

I saw that but misinfo happens.
What if Savannah shows up next year?

Good Morning Beakers! It's CATURDAY again!

Phyl, sweet story of Penny and the policeman! Ed was not a cat person when we met...but he has been for 39 years now!  Those cats with the oranges, LOLOL! Lisa is a beauty, Neuman must be considered a great catch, seems like there are always females around! 

Lani, Brooks Falls is a busy place! Love watching the bears with their little ones watching, learning how to catch the salmon. Love the picture of Otis napping, glad he has a full tummy! Manaaki is such a big, handsome boy! It will be fun to see where he went on his big adventure and how many miles he traveled when he returns!

tsk, how was the last park concert? Did you get up and dance?  ;D  You can't even get me started on men having multiple items of the same thing. More than 3 is a 'collection', and Ed has a hundred 'collections'.

baz, Lil' Bro is two, where does time go? What a beautiful head of hair, he is so cute! And Lil' Punkin will be starting kindergarten soon, right?

Lisa, oh no, hope your Mom finds she has just a simple virus! Yes, hopefully she will go see a doctor!

This hit my FB page from yesterday, Bone Gap is where my Mom is from, it's about 8 miles from Albion. My Grandmother lived there all her life, and my Aunt Junie still lives there.  Dave Rigg - The Bone Gap Chowder is tomorrow. It was always a BIG day for my Dad. He was the chief cook for over 30 years. They have asked me to give the prayer before the chowder is served tomorrow.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

74 heading to 87  DP 68  humidity 82%  muggy day

KB   Quite a storm - Many without power?

BAZI  Baby Bro - already 2  :o  Such a cutie.  Look at that red hair.  I think many kids do not like b-day song  LOL

LANI   LOLOL  So Tim said yesterday - I'm going to go buy some burgers to grill tomorrow.  I said "there are two in the freezer."  " I looked and I don't think so"   I go look and right on top - " labeled 2- 1/2# burgers" package!  " Oh I wasn't looking for something wrapped in white" (freezer paper)    ::) ::)     Very busy night at Brooks Falls  and a very quiet night with the pups on the sofa  LOL

PHYL   kitties  ;D   Police officer smitten - who wouldn't be  ;)

LISA   101   - Call the doc material!

CLYNN    Concert was not as packed as I would have thought.  I was reminded by SIL Barb that neighboring burb about 1 mile away had a big festival going on as well.  Good music warm but breezy  night.  No did not dance  but enjoyed others  LOL   Bone Gap Chowder must have been a real celebration  ;D   LOVE that custom kitty sofa.   ;D

Tsk, Mike does the same thing, and so does Aly! LOL! They open the refrig door, stare in it and say "Where's the mustard?" and I go over and lift it off the refrig door's middle shelf next to the pickles/mayo.  ::) ... Lulu observing her kingdom!  ;D

Kb, adorable little piggie  :-* ... so glad your okay after the storms .... makes me sad and sick to my stomach seeing how much garbage was hauled by Pacific Ocean Garbage.  :(
Lisa, sending prayers for your mom. You take care too.  :-*

Clynn, Mike is still not a cat person, but puts up with it because I am.  ;D ... yummy story from Bone Gap! ... I can see Claire Luvcat with that couch in her home.  ;D

Phyl, wonderful story of police and Penny.

Lani, I think most of us experience the exact same thing, family can stare right at something and can't find it!  And we zero right in on it like magic...Kelsey is terrible, I can point directly at something I want her to bring to me and she looks in the opposite direction!  Is it a piece of a gene they are missing?  ::) ::) Erin is big on 'the watchamacallit'.... and I usually have no idea what he is trying to say.  :o  Love the cat looking through the fishbowl! I agree, that is definitely a Claire Couch!

tsk, excellent example of the conundrum being discussed of finding things... and I am sure you know the look we give them then we zoom right in on the item.

Lisa, all the little towns in the area have their own Chowder gatherings, it's just an old tradition that is still hanging on in rural southern Illinois. And then a lot of families cook chowder at family reunions. It's basically a vegetable soup, with everything cut up fine and cooked for several hours. It usually has both beef and chicken, potatoes, green beans, lima beans, corn, onions, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes. Here is a picture of my Uncle Jack (he was the one killed in a tractor accident in 2013) and my Dad (who passed away in 2018) stirring the chowder with a big wooden paddle. That is the men's job after the women get all the ingredients cut up. Your Mom! Not a thing you can do, I do hope it's something simple!

Lani, let me know if you get that thing - that's hilarious!  ;D  (((Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii)))  :'( :'( :'(

Lisa, dang, your mom! Hope she's well soon! Prayers for her quick recovery.  Yep, Baby Bro is already two!  OMG is right. LOL. Yes, and you will only turn around a few times, and your new grandbaby, Sydney, will be 2 years old, too!  ;)

Clynn, yep, my Littlest Greatniece starts kindergarten soon - same grade as Bella.  :D  It won't seem like much of a change for her this year, I don't think, because she is going to kindergarten at the same school she has been going to the last 2 years. That cat sofa, LOL - I think Walter Santi could use that, too.  :D

TSK, yep, Baby Bro loved all the b'day fun, except the birthday song! LOL! He's sooo funny! His expressions are a hoot. But that particular expression had a little help from his chin boo boo. He fell at home on the garage concrete floor a little over a week ago and busted it open. Weekend evening... oh yeah, dontchaknow... it's always nights, weekends, out-of-town, or holidays when things like that happen, it seems, LOL. Luckily, one of their immediate neighbors is an ER physiscian, who took a look at it and said a walk-in emergicare shop should be able to handle it okay, no plastic surgery approach needed, thankfully, so off they went - got there at 9pm, 3 stitches, home at 11pm...  :-*  Looong evening for them. LOL.


Waving to All the Beakers. Off to run to the store to get some kind of Saturday-style snack or bev... that I shouldn't!  ;)

LANI   AM kitty  ;D   You're right - Claire would love that couch.  ;D   LOLOL  We need to put all the men in a room together and see if they can survive  ;D ;D ;D ;D    That is a great cat toy and Lucy would have loved it as she loved to get inside things and be warm.  Not so much this one.  She likes "high and uncovered"  LOL

LISA   Hope Mom knows what she is doing - I would love for someone to at least listen to her lungs..

CLYNN    Judge Judy  :o ::) ::)  ;D   Great pic of Dad and Uncle Jack demonstrating the Chowder festival.  Where is the electric cord on that fan?  LOL

LORI   Is that Toonces behind the wheel?

Howdy Y'all !

Late this  AM, literally had a mini 'hurricane' blow through here for about 30 mins. Then a lovely steady rain followed until about 2:30pm. Then on the t ail
end had a gentle rain for about 45mins. When that let up the air became increasingly warm and humid. We decided to  pack up the cushions and take our coffee cups
inside with us. Nope no breakfast as it was so late ---we had sat under the porch since 11: 25 AM. The weather had been wonderfully cool and inviting---waving at all our neighbors as they drove to and fro---getting honks and waves in return. And, just having a good chat between ourselves.
Tonight having a smorgasbord of leftover homemade lasagna, spaghetti w/ meatballs and pizza supreme; romaine salad olive oil vinaigrette a Peroni each. For after's Jim get the last slice of chocolate fudge cake.


Lisa- cute Tuxedo cat this AM; your poor Mom with that fever I think she needs at least urgent care.  Virtual kiss on cheek from me to her. 

CLynn- luv the AM cats today---esp the middle one with the 'do rag'.  Jim's 1st wife was a cat person and the last cat was named  'Pyewacket' for the brown seal point in the 50's film 'Bell Book and Candle'. I don't Helen realize that this name belonged to the feline familiar of an alleged witch accused by the claimed Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins in March 1644 in the town of Manningtree, Essex, England.  But, then maybe so.  :-\ 
I digress it's been easy for me to have my cats and they've all known when I call out 'Jim' and they done wrong to skedaddled. LOL
  Really enjoyed reading about 'Bone Gap'  Chowder doings, your Dad and what an honor you have delivering  the prayer and Grace! God be with you.
Cat style Livingroom furniture how cool!

KB-- what a relief you home is 'fine' no damages .

Tks-- what a hoot Tim and the freezer paper wrapped burgers. So you still had a nice night, music and all.  ;)  Lulu on the upstairs ledge. Reminds me of Mike before i started putting  basketed ledge ivy up in that spot.

Lani- LOL kitty gazing longingly at goldfish bowl.

Lisa--  As you know,  101 F isn't a good temp for a little old lady.      At least she's drinking fluids to flush out the sickness .   Right?    Anyway I have  🙏  candle lit

CLynn- tks for Wild Heart Ranch update/photo;  cool photo of your  Dad and Uncle Jack  at the chowder fest.  And Tsk yep! Claire would love the couch.

Bazi-childhood injuries souvenirs of a healthy active  youth.   ;)   Every scar is truly a 'badge of honor' .

Lori- nice to see you.  LOLToonces behind the wheel.   What do you think about Lisa and Newman?  Sure hope they get 'it' together.  ;)

T40- tks for the links will view later tonight

Tig-hope your Bro's drum and bugle corps benefit goes well.

Good cartoons!  ThAt must be a n English uber driver,  think the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car!  Lolol
Lisa, wonder why Mama will not see a doctor!  Might make her feel better! Will she be making a trip to Maryland to meet her great grand daughter?
There have been many  articles about the garbage in our oceans!   Terrible.  There was a cleanup on the west coast years ago and the organizers said that they had not made a dent in the scope of the problem.

Phyl - Love your 'Caturday' image this morning!  Love the story of the police officer adopting the kitty - such a wonderful story!!   Sounds like you & Jim are enjoying your porch furniture on your lovely porch no matter what the weather might be!  Enjoy your yummy dinner tonight!

LisaG - Your Mom sounds like a very strong person - something tells me that she will be okay!! ;D

Clynn - Will you agree to do the honors and give the prayer before the chowder is served?  That is really quite the honor!  Love the pic of Judge Judy  ;D

Tsk - Lol! There were 2-burgers in the freezer that Tim didn't know about! ;D  Love the pic of Lulu!!

Tig - Your folks preparing the booya for your Brother's drum & bugle benefit  ;D

Lori - Love your post/gifs today!! ;D

Karen - You are right - so much garbage/plastic stuff ending up in the oceans.  A few months ago, watched 60 minutes on this topic and it was very sad. >:(

All have a nice evening.  Continued thoughts & prayers for all in the Lahaina Maui HI fire tragedy.  We did donate to the American Red Cross.

They are friends, and they love each other. 🥰 The black-neck dog (Husky) lives in a house down the road. Every day he escapes from his yard to go down the street to visit his little friend and play with him. But when the entrance was closed, he just came, hugged his friend tight, and left, but never tried to cross that fence. And we call them just animals.

In the early 80's I worked for my friend Steve who had a very successful interior house painting company.
A very professionally run business with very high end repeat clientèle.

Very well off business executive wives that change the color of a room every time they change drapes, furniture or a lamp.
Bored out of there minds sipping Martinis at Three trying to spend hubbies money as fast as they could to keep up with the Joneses.   

Word of mouth only Steve went from one Mrs. Jones job to the other.
All thinking they were the only one that had Steve the magic painting guy on speed dial.
So the 1st time a new job was done it was done absolutely correct because we'd be back in a year or so. $$$$ 80's.

If we put the correct effort into the prep work (85% of a great paint job) we'd be golden on the next paint job color change.
All surfaces to be painted were as smooth as a baby's bottom and thoroughly sanding dust free before any Benjamin Moore ever touched it.
Take the paint from the bucket - very neatly - and smoothly smear it with brushes on the trim, than roller it on the canvas from the ceiling down the walls to the base trim hermetically taped to the drop cloth on the carpet (only 15% of a great paint job).
     
You had to be very Punctual, well groomed, well spoken, quiet, courteous and very professional.
White painting attire with not a single drop of paint visible on it.
All visible painting equipment carried in the house was the same.
We'd expertly move everything into the center of the room and cover it with new plastic sheets taped tight against any inevitable paint roller spray. 
The high quality canvas drop cloths 'connected' to this.
The covered wall to wall carpet and anywhere we walked in or out of the job. Now remember those drop cloths.   
We were pretty good at it too I must say.
Such nice young men pulling up in a all white 1972 VW Bus.
But I digress.

A huge house and the Mrs was as cool as the day is long with the maid bringing us finger sandwiches for lunch. 
The dining room was one that we had painted 2 or 3 years ago.
We saw Jake a few times on the 1st job.
He was an out on the "grounds" cool fun crazy puppy when we met Mr Jones and hand shook on the contract.
20 x 30 ft with 15 foot vaulted ceilings.   
She had her peeps move everything into the middle of the room having observed our process earlier.

A very long way to go to get here.
Jake that now owned the house was a very mellow & timid guy still.
A pit bull terrier. Think Spuds MacKenzie.
Peeking around the corner wondering what in the heck are these 2 footers doing in the room no one is allowed in.

An occasional pat of the head and a tail wag he would proffer on exit from his house.
We called him Spuds and he was cool.

Now I guess getting comfortable with the 2 foot interlopers spewing olfactory volatile compounds in my house I should really officially introduce myself to Steve and Phil. Mr mellow walked into the job site and sat wagging.

Steve broke character for him but yet a huge dog lover.

He got down on all fours and hand drummed lightly on the drop cloth on top of the carpet. 

Jake bounced off so many freshly off white painted walls skidding on top of the drop cloths my head spun.

Like a rocket Jake took off like a low slung mobile paint roller around that entire floor.

Painting furniture other rooms and everything cloth not in it's native color.

What are you going to do but buck up for the job sight incident.

Mrs Jones comes home and Steve honestly tells her what happened.

Oh' know you didn't do that? Yeah. Her face.

That's what Mr Jones does with Jake when he comes home from work and Jake goes ballistic running around the house.
The canvas drop cloth doggy slide affect.

Jake lived to the ripe old age of 19.

Steve still paints the rooms in their house to this day.

BL, that is quite a tale! I am guessing that is a true story...  ;D

kb, awwww, sad that they put up the gate...

Lani, it's a good thing mustard doesn't expire! I am kind of bad at getting something and then discovering that I already bought it! I have had 2 mustards in the cupboard more than once! Continued prayers for Maui... Funny, I didn't even think about the fan in the chowder picture, but it had to be to keep the fire going. They surely wouldn't have had the heat turned on them, chowders are always in the HOT summer months!

E4E, Dave Rigg's father was the one asked to give the prayer at the Bone Gap Chowder that year.  Dave has a FB page called Bone Gap History, he does a lot of research and has tons of history recorded about the area. It's very interesting and I imagine it's like so many little rural towns all over the country. https://www.facebook.com/bonegap

Phyl, sweet picture of Bob with his cozy neck scarf... Newman is quite a hunk!

karen, people who just toss their trash out the window are TRASH!  It's sad to see the pictures of wildlife and sea creatures all tangled up in trash...

T40, thanks for the great videos, love the voice-overs and skippity-pat!

baz, sometimes you just have to treat yourself!  Thanks for the Carly Simon, love her and all her music!

Lori, wonder if Toonces is driving for Uber now? Hope you are feeling good and all your family is okay!  Pats for Destini! Honey is still eating and getting around, but so skinny. I hope I am not doing wrong by letting her go on... I have always gone by 'as long as they are eating' let it be.

Just to carry on the  "Multi-Needed" mindset. . . Of course it's necessary to have!

Background:  Lost my Ton now about a year and a half ago.  He lived here (44 years) and collected even longer.  He brought "stuff" from his house down the road, where he lived ??? 8 years, from the house he lived in 10 years???  I'm talking many years, many storage nooks, lots and lots and lots of "stuff"  affectionately called "shxt".

I've tried, I've really tried.  First family members, neighbors, friends.  Any workman, any service people, lawn cutters, mail and garbage personnel......ANYONE!  Please if you know anyone, share.  Am Vets and Goodwill - at least 100 bags.  Mt. Carmel white elephant.  (Still holding for your coat drive, tsk.)   ;D   Stuff at the curb the night before garbage day - mostly picked up would you believe.  I can only imagine their homes.  ;D

I talked with someone here recently (who?) about one irresistable must-keep item (items!)  hundreds and thousands of nails, screws, bolts, whatevers being protected by jars, cans, buckets, little drawers in multi storage drawer setups.  No takers!  Thought of another of my challenges - wires.  Cords, parts of cords, cripped together neatly wires, wire on spools, wire in boxes, wire in buckets, some of the wire is even unrusted.  Is any of it safe?  Is there still market for the copper stripped out and sold? $$$$  And as already mentioned by others.... Whenever there's a new project there comes the mandatory quick trip to the store because he needed . . . .   

Truth be told, I do have my own collection of garage stuff.  About 2 years into marriage I transferred my vital collection (or what was left of it) into a chest that I kept in my trunk.  Found out he like my clean, organized, stuff.  It was dwindling down as time passed.  Not only did I find my things in a pile on his bench, but the tool gremlins got blamed.  Come on Ton, it's just you, me, and the spiders.  So I just kept by own cache in the car as well as I could.  (For years they were given to me as presents from dad and brothers.  Honestly, that's where I got my tools and my learnin'.)

Other collections?  You bet your bippy!  And, as soon as I get his "s" under control - you know what - I start working on my own collections.  And I've been in my house since 1971 (52 yrs).  To be equally fair - I still have to add to shoes, tops, nail polish, holiday trinkets. . . . and on and on.  TEE  HEE

Ugg...my neighbor drove over my fence piece and reflector once again last night at 9:20....worse he or she didn't even get out and take a look..one piece is lying on her property. on video heard a lot of metal crunching.
This is the second fence....
The reason for it btw is exactly this...I got tired of them driving over my property and also my cedar boards garbage can holder...she has also broken one of those pieces.....
I prefer neighbors who respect other's properties myself...and also her own property..

I've been thinking, it's just pure laziness..and avoidable....they just don't swing wide enough out into the street to enter their own driveway..I thought maybe something that would gash a tire, teehee.

You'd think when they drive up and over the curb they might stop and start over?...but, they drive over the city curb all the time so...doesn't ring a bell..until they drive up over my curb. I left her a message. She breaks it she fixes it...no word yet.

The best made plans of mice and men . . .
Let me remind all of a pic I posted at one point when I was having my mailbox reconstructed/repaired last year.  Let me also repeat/remind of what it is - about 4 or 5 feet high, made of blackbrick, cemented together, mailbox itself is stainless and chrome, lighted from the inside at sunset til sunrise, located at the end of the driveway at the curb.  Been here 52 years; mailbox has been knocked down 4 times.  First time city snow plowing cost them $300-400.  (Shortly thereafter ordinance instituted a description and cost guide.)  Second time, teen driver in a snit with parent, speeding in reverse, lost control.  Parent who knew someone in the trades had all the work done by these friends.  Daughter was made (?) to pay - which I doubt she did with her attitude.  Third time was the USPS.  No, he didn't stop, just left part of the mirror that sticks out sooo far.  Ton went to local facility and found the little truck with no mirror; they paid.  Last time it was a pickup that had to turn around on this local road, did a 3 pt backup turn-around and took out the mailbox.  Police and police report said from the tracks left in the newly fallen snow it was a wide pickup (which now had a whole lot of damage!).  Since driver did not leave note or ring the doorbell, this one was my treat.  Some treat  :-\   Price always has been going up.  Brick/cement work, new plexiglass, $800; mailbox, $350.  IDIOTS!  Can't tell me none of them knew or couldn't see.  It was even lit up.  Fools!  Let's see who lasts longer - me or the mailbox?

Morale of the story, a rock and a flag is not a guarantee.  Good ideas; hope one works, I really do.  Idiots just don't care.

some bounce
I only mowed the back. Camper then applied lawn treatment to the whole yard. Bad news... I was stung again, twice. Good news... Mowing damp grass loosened the gunk under the deck and I was able to get it nice and clean. I then spent a couple hours pruning the grape near the fence gate and the driveway so the concrete guy has room to work.

Lani, thanks for the Bear Study, I love reading Lynn's posts, he is so sincere and loves those bears so much! 'It's me, Bear...', I will always remember those words he uses when he approaches them.

tsk, EG.5 Eris is the new covid strain they are worried about, the vaccine will be ready near the end of September.

Phyl, yes, many very historic buildings gone in Lahaina.  What they are living through in Maui makes most of our problems seem so small....

Lisa, oh no, your Mom did test positive for Covid, I was hoping not! I bet she is not the only one from the convention.

Sydney Sea Eagle Cam - Se McGregor  · Yesterday at 6:28 AM  · 12th August, 2023 - Late feed - both eaglets well and truly stuffed.  Also a fish brought in for breakfast.

Something mentioned in passing about Lahaina - Re the town wharf.  Again, most of Front Street was wooden building construction.  However, so were the docks.  I Left many times out of there to sail out to talk to the whales. Wooden wharfs caught fire, so did the excursion and personal crafts, then the fuels were ignited, spilled into the ocean where the people were tempted to jump.  Saw an unbelievably sad young man interviewed on Fox early this morning.  Fox never repeated it all day today. 

Another recap of Fox newspiece.  They had a followup on the 4,000 beagles that authorities took over from the scum who were breeding them in one of the southern states.  The rep from the Humane Society group came back with the fabulous report that they were able to place each and every one; some mentioned may need nursing, but they are also pleasantly suprised they accomplished the impossible so quickly.

Puff - Glad to hear that all the beagles were placed.

Clynn - Yea, I bet she is not the only one from the convention.  She thinks from the crowded plane rides, as she had to take 4 different planes to get home.

Phyl - Mama is calling her PCP tomorrow, since she tested positive now.  She is scheduled for an ERCP on Friday, which I don’t think she is going to be able to get even tho it will be day 6 for her. 

Tsk - I agree the virus is popping up everywhere.  I have known quite a few people here who have got it recently.

The beagles were taken from Envigo. In Cumberland Va.  this place is a breeding and research facility!  The dogs were sent to many states, humane societies, shelters and rescue groups!   Part of the nasty business of using animals for testing products!

The humane Society in Maui has received a half a million dollars in donations So far.  Their facility was over crowded before the fire and they are pleading for volunteer fosters for these animals!

Loved the bear report! Thanks Lani

Planted a crepe myrtle tree and left a large Bayberry shrub in the corner of my yard where folks liked to drive over the curb, take out the stop sign while trying to turn the corner!  This seems to have solved the problem .  The man who lived across the street (not there now) took my mail box out twice.  Stuff happens!

Lisa, covid never really left but it is increasing!   Sorry about your Mother.

Going to check out Bone Gap. On fb

Hi lani  :)

Tsk - I agree with what you mentioned to Puff;  we are trying to clear out stuff (little by little), so that when its our time, there won't be so much junk to contend with.  My hubby is selling and giving away stuff and I have been donating and throwing stuff into the garbage!  We still have lots of stuff tho! ::)

Oldguy - Great suggestion for Kb!

LisaG - Awe, your Mom needs some good rest now and to take care of herself.  Hugs for your Mom.  Hope she feels better soon. 

Puff - I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have ignorant drivers destroying your mailbox.  So sorry this has happened a few times to you.  :(

Tig - Oh no, you were stung twice while mowing?! :o ::)  How are you feeling tonight?  Hope you are not in too much discomfort or swollen.   Okay, just read what you said about your stings - sounds like you are o.k.  :)

Tsk - I bet your brother can identify with the others here who have a curbside mailbox. ::)

Clynn - Sweet pics at Sydney Sea Eagle cam.  :)

Hi Karen!

They are friends, and they love each other. 🥰 The black-neck dog (Husky) lives in a house down the road. Every day he escapes from his yard to go down the street to visit his little friend and play with him. But when the entrance was closed, he just came, hugged his friend tight, and left, but never tried to cross that fence. And we call them just animals.

BL, thanks for sharing your story.

Phyl. I wish Peregrine Lisa well, and it's amazing to me how well Newman's able to survive the owl attacks. So far it's the females and eyas that have disappeared.

Clynn, great burger! .. it's heartbreaking about the historical Waiola church, the continued loss of life  :'( ... awww, the Sea Eaglets are doing well.  :-*

Kb, love the 3 critters! Sorry about your neighbor. How about placing a boulder there like Tsk suggested...  I placed a large rock in front of one of my bushes that the Fedex driver kept hitting.

Tsk, it was a lovely post from Lynn Rogers. It's rare for Lily to be seen, what a special treat for him. He loves the bears so much.

Lisa, I'm sorry your mom has covid, sending prayers for her... you and Jeff take care too.  :)

Puff, I hope you and the mailbox live a long time ... great news about the beagles.  :)

Tig, glad you're okay after the bee bite

Karen, that good news about Maui's Humane Society receiving donations...

Eagles, we need to get rid of "stuff" too. I hate the girls to have to deal with it... glad you're sis is doing well, glad your mom's surgery date is coming up. It's almost mid-August, the time is flying by.

About 4 hours before this post.
I heard the call of another falcon.
Was it the voice of Lisa or the voices of Newman's chicks?
Or is it the voice of a completely different falcon?
I would be happy if it was the voice of his chicks.

Lani, we all need to get rid of stuff, I keep trying to get Ed to go through all of his stuff and part with some of it! I think he should have been there when we were cleaning Kay's house out, he might realize how much he is leaving to me or to Erin to do... Continued prayers for Maui, such a sad tragedy.... We have a hard time imagining standing in the street with nothing left... Sweet good night pic!

E4E, yes, let's get some of that useless stuff out of the house! And we can't sell it all on eBay! (that's what Ed thinks) LOLOL! Mom's surgery this week!

karen, prayers for the Humane Society in Maui, praying all the animals find a place...

Lisa, hope your Mom gets some help from her doctor and some good rest...

Puff, I read about those beagles, thank goodness they are being cared for.

tsk, when I got the last covid vaccine the nurse told me it was Moderna, I told her all of my previous vaccines had been Pfizer. She said it was good to mix them up.

Phyl, DH2 is looking so regal! Like you, I worry about the cats in a disaster. They are scared and probably hard to catch, which makes it even worse. Honey is still eating and all that, so until she lets me know I will keep pampering her... Great cliff view from GSB!  Newman is a hunk in the falcon world!

Rather a special day at the Botanical Gardens today. The Chick is 70 days old and has started exercising it's wings. Johann van den Berg captured these photos this morning from the Basin at the Waterfall. Wing exercising and the Crows hassling the adults - as usual.

Tsk- The flicker on Sauces nest in California was taken my Mp Mom the other day.   I was wondering about a switch as well.  We've always taken Moderna.
       Moderna has protected us very well and little to no  'ills' on the side.
        Jim's planning to  mow when he's off this afternoon---the grass, with all the rain from Saturday has gotten to be extremely high. He uses a powered push mower
        and with his heart...  Well...     If that's the worst in Life---I'm over the moon. You know?  ;)


CLynn thanks for the Face book update on the Black Eagle Project Roodekrans and the chick's wingercizing. Won't be long and it'll take to the skies!
         Mixing the vaccs up---we were told the same as well. But, I like Moderna as I mentioned above to Tsk. We usually go to Publix pharmacy as the company pays for
          Jim's and I just tag along for free. LOL

Ah, the beagles were not in Hawaii and after rescue from the breeder who was in the business of selling them to industry for use in testing products, drugs, etc, they were shipped to a number of states for boarding, care, etc and adopted.  The breeder was shut down but these folks ten to reappear.  Lancaster Pa is a notorious puppy Mill place run by the Amish!  If you drive through the beautiful countryside and see what looks like rows of white chicken coops in many cases you are looking at dog breeding buildings with caged dogs.  There are also mills in Missouri and in other places to a lesser extent!
Off my soap box but just wanted to be clear.

Phyll, love your morning graphic!  Yes it is Monday and Piper and I are waiting for the lawn folks!  Thanks for the nest updates and the spectacular view from the bluffs!

E4E, good thoughts coming for your Mom and her up coming surgery!


Lisa, hope your Mom begins to feel better soon!   Have not asked but how is Misty settling in?  Are she and Bandit still doing well?

Tsk, a lot of covid popping up!  Is Pfizer supposed to be developing a new vaccine?  I have been on that but I did not get the last booster.  Was waiting for an upgrade which did not happen!  Don't ask why I thought it was supposed to!  I stay out of crowds!  Supcious of care givers who act sick!

karen - Misty and Bandit are getting along good now that she is spayed.  I just talked to mama, she sounds better than she has the past couple days, but just says she is very tired.  I knew Covid wasn't gone, it's just you don't hear about it too much anymore on the news. 

clynn - Mama has a call into the doctor, and is waiting back to hear.  Love your pretty PEACE pic this morning. 

Phyl - Great pics from the cams.  I am not sure when Mama will get to see her new great-granddaughter.  I don't think she is planning on making a trip up here anytime soon.  I wish she were, tho.  :D

Is that you up there Dad?
Look who the afternoon sun brought in. Dad GLY arrives to feed Manaaki. Great to see Dad & great for Manaaki too. 
Dad was last in July 30, so its really good to see him, hope we see Mum soon too.

What's up Manaaki?
The very sociable Quarry chick, grubby tum and all, came to see Manaaki this morning.
Even though Quarry gave a great skycall, Manaaki wasn't having it.

Manaaki, yesterday, from his feet to the top of his head.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Lori - The Lemon-Blueberry Cake looks delicious. 

Lani - Love the pic of Manaaki, from his feet to the top of his head.  ;D  Mama is still waiting to hear if she will be able to get her ERCP.  One girl in the office told her that she may, but they needed to check to be sure.  I spoke to her about an hour ago.  The PCP's office told her to take Zinc, Vit D and Vit C, plus make sure she is drinking lots of fluids, and to sleep on her side and not her back to avoid getting pneumonia.

LISA  A short good rain about 11:30 but thunderstorms are to roll through this afternoon - do not know if it will be in my neighborhood  :-\  Mom sounding better - Yay!   Interesting directions for Mom from doc.

LANI    I got teary about Lynn relating that Lily had come back to sniff the places Lynn had been when they met.  Awww :'(     The communication between the chicks is so different sounding.  Sure wish I knew what each click meant  LOL

Karen- did the 'lawn folks' arrive? If so, was Piper happy with the work they did?  ;D   Yea isn't Lori's cake  just sinfully delish?

Lisa- so glad the M and B are getting along; relieved to hear that your mom sounds/doing better. ; Wonder how Stewie and Lizzie are adjusting to Sydney's c
                    presence; cappa looks yummy.   That's a new advice from  your mom's PCP  esp. side sleeping for pneumo prevention. I've always been told a 30degree
                 angle sitting up in bed and to  covered  my top self with a bedjacket. Medicine is always evolving and a reason for everything.

Tsk- the  mini Toll House and coffee look inviting

Lani- LOL the wedding anniversary card for Pinkeagle and hubby; tks forBear study on Lily, Lucy and cubs, luv photo o f Lucy  '16, her cubs look great and so does she. I think Lucy was looking for Dr Rogers. Even Lily I think sometimes looks for him.  Tks for the Royals-  Quarry Chick and Manaaki   having a 'real conversation that pair;   Manaaki    f rom feet to head top---so pretty in white fluff.

Phyl - Thanks for a pic from the Sauces nest!  Love the Decorah pic!!  Great pic at Roodekrans!  Love all the cam pics  ;D   Kind of nice that Jim got a break from mowing today! ;)   Love the husky pup and new little friend. :)

Tsk - Hope your area got a nice rain!

Clynn - So happy that Honey is still eating and it sounds like she is doing good. :)  Clynn, thank you for posting Lisa's pic of DH2 out of fb! ;D

Karen - Thank you for well wishes for my Mom.  :)

Tig - Yaay - happy for the rain you had!

LisaG - That is good that Misty & Bandit continue to get along better and sounds like they are getting to be pals! ;D   Continued thoughts & prayers that your Mom feels better soon.  I had covid once (July 2022), and it took about 2 weeks to start feeling good and to start getting energy again.  I remember I missed 2 weeks of work.

Lani - Thank you for Bearstudy and for Royal Albatross - great links - thank you! :)

Lori - I can almost taste that luscious lemon-blueberry piece of cake! ;D

Tsk - Hope you got some rain!  Okay, just read that you sure did receive rain - torrential!

Hi Baz!  Cute kitty cartoon!

Hubby & I have been super busy the last few days preparing for a special get-together here tomorrow (Tue).  My Mom's sister & her husband, and another of my Mom's sister's are coming from out of town and bringing my cousin who is visiting from Germany.  They are probably going to visit for 2 or 3 hours.  It has been a while since they have come to our house, so we have done all we can to make it a special day here tomorrow!  My Mom & sis will be here too of course.  It should be a wonderful visit for all of us!

Beakers have a good night.

                 LOL    Tks for  sharing Sue's Boots on the Ground Steven Smith's very  nice  photo of Mom and DM2  ;)

Tsk- does sound like a 'Yucky' day for you . We're not too bad weather-wise.   I use to help out a lot with the yard work. But, after my cervical spine surgery and loss
       of balance then the 'bad' knees --don't do very much. My parents use to do yardwork together then they had Larry and Dan, as teenagers put them to work . When I
        got older I did the lawn and bed watering.  ;D    I still do the  outdoor watering  ;)

E4E, have a great visit with your family today! 

The lawn folks were here yesterday to mow, edge and blow!  They are back now doing a lot of trimming , weeding, etc.  big job in the south especially when it was basically ignored for a year!  Have to replace some bushes in the front but not sure with what.  Maybe more azaleas.  I will leave that for another day!  Maybe in November.

80 degrees here with rain and possible tornadoes predicted.  You can always count on weather, it is always happening!

tsk - We got nice thunderstorm yesterday after 5pm.  Radar says, we may get another today around 3pm.

baz - Your early Caturday post...too funny!

Phyl - Seems like, Stewie and Lizzie/Ziva are adjusting very well to having a baby in the house. Awww, sweet pic of Little Raven and new friend. Pretty Flyway pic this morning.

clynn - Thanks for posting my DH2 pic  :-*  The bus is full.  ;D  Best pic of Mom & DM2 yet!

E4E - Thanks!  Mama just called, no fever, but still tired, sounds very stuffy and one of her ears is blocked up.  Enjoy your visit with family. 

Lani - Thank you for kind words on pic, and for Mama!

tig - Good luck with doc appts.

karen - You be safe with that weather.

KAREN   You have lawn people that do weeding???  WOW    Rough weather for you today

Off soon for a girl's lunch - We've really been trying to meet 1/month now rather than just birthdays since the 7 of us no longer all live in the same town.

Just regular weather her today. So far!  No wind, sound or lightening effects and no rain! 
i used to weed!  Used to layer newspaper on the ground and cover it with pine straw! (Mulch).  Did a great job of weed control!  Now the biggest problem is Virginia creeper, wild blackberries, and wire grass!  All tangled in with tge shrubbery that is being trimmed!  While I used to don gloves and get thru the branches to pull the stuff out by the roots I can no longer do it!   Now, Too unsteady and too much strain on my back!   This is all the price of staying home and having a fenced in yard for a dog!  I am not complaining, as i am happy with my decision as of now!  I am not a control freak (oh, I might be) but I like things the way I want them!  Like picking my own mds and food!   Lol, like that lemon blueberry cake!  Wow!
Lisa, glad your mother is feeling better.

Sloth Preschool Updates:

Roo, 2F Sloth: She's great; she has gained weight fast! Active as always.
Robin, 3F Sloth: He's good; his movement has been improving. Remember, you can support him by donating to his CUDDLY campaign!
Ken, 2F Sloth: Still under monitoring. He has a great appetite and has been very active.
Nara, 3F Sloth: She has been more active, gaining weight, and eating leaves but still not accepting much milk.

In Loving Memory  :'(

Gonzo, 2F Sloth: Sadly, he passed away due to malabsorption syndrome and congenital malformations.

Robin's got a itch! :-*

Tsk, enjoy your lunch and visit with the girls! safe travels ;D

Lisa, hugs and prayers for your mom.🙏🏼 ... thinking about your sweet Sydney too  :)

Karen, enjoying looking at your lovely yard. Nothing like the smell of fresh cut grass... I hope the rains aren't severe, take care.

{{{Tig}}} I hope all goes well.

Clynn, it's cooled down 10 degrees to the high 80's, which is normal for this time of year. It's lovely this morning.... sorry about your hot week, we're expecting rain Friday. What a wonderful treat to see Decorah Mom and DM2 together.  :-* .... this bus is full  ;D. {{{Honey 🙏🏼 }}}

Lisa, love that pic of DH2 you posted on FB!  Glad clynn shared it for us here!  (((Mom)))

E4E, enjoy your special family gathering today!  A treat for your Mom and her sisters, especially!

TSK, 4 inches of rain!!  Wow!  Now I'm wondering if something crawled into your ear. !! :o Hope not! Glad it's all good now.  :)  Enjoy lunch with "the girls."

Clynn, thanks for sharing Lisa's FB pic of DH2 - gorgeous! Wonder if those birds wait impatiently on the shoreline while their hippo goes in the water!  ;) Thanks for sharing Sue B's share of Steve Smith's great pic of Mom Decorah and DM2 in the dead tree near their current N4!!!  :-* :-*  LOL on the Fitbit kitty. :D :D   I love seeing those funny cartoons, and they never get old!!! The pics you posted last of Talon and Bella were so cute! Bella is really maturing. I hope she will like her kindergarten class when it starts... I guess both the grandkids will be excited to start school again soon.  (((Honey)))

Karen, that sounds very nice to be getting your yard all "restored." You can't go wrong with more azaleas, if you decide to go that route in the Fall.  Yeah, Virginia Creeper... ugh!! We're covered up with it here... drives me nuts - so hard to eliminate, no thanks to those roots running underground. Hope you don't get severe weather today, and glad it sounds like maybe you are getting a little break from the severe heat today?  I hope so. I am under an excessive heat warning today till 7pm. Currently it is officially 93, with a dew point of 81, and the "feels like" heat index temp is 111, and expected to go up some more this afternoon. Some nearby reporting stations are higher.  Lots of extended high heat for so many people across the country. Thankful for a home! and A/C! ((Prayers for all those suffering in the heat.))  I'm still thinking about that Lemon Blueberry Cake!!

Tig, glad you could get those spots all taken care of.

Well, the landscaping crew arrived at 10 and did not leave until 4!  They drove off with a big fenced thing behind a truck that was full of branches and trees!   Everything was very overgrown so it was all trimmed to cut down no higher than about 4 feet.  Not the trees!  Lol.  They did take out an elm tree that had grown up into a Savannah Holly!  There is another elm in the back, outside my fence that was too big for them to tackle.  Things will grow back quickly and be managed better!   I feel like my green walls disappeared!  I had them dig up some amaryllis bulbs that had been covered with too much dirt to bloom.  I may put them in a pot!   I just thought I would clarify that the weeding was the least of the work!  These folks will keep after this, most just want to mow and blow!
Have a good evening all,  seds

Phyl - Thank you so much for your kind wishes!  Yes, we all had a very wonderful afternoon;  my Mom loved seeing her sisters.  Mom & sis were the first to leave, but they stayed for at least 3 hrs.!  Mom said she had been awake since 1 am and was needing to go home and rest.
Thank you so much for posting Amy's blog;  It was a reminder of the Great Spirits Bluff Falcons and they tragedy they suffered. RIP Savannah - it was a sad reminder, but glad for the blog to talk about it again. :'(
So nice that you heard from your brother Dan!!

Clynn - Such great and wonderful news that Mom Decorah is well & fine and still in Decorah!! :-* ;D

Tsk - We had a great family get-together today!  Mom loved seeing her family;  2 sisters, a BIL, and her nephew from Germany!  The nephew's Dad (my Mom's brother passed in 2017).   My Mom's other brother passed in January 2022.
In answer to your question about what my cousin does; he has worked for 'LSG Alzey' in Germany for 25 years.  He works in making the frozen dinners that Airlines serve to their passengers.

Tig - Hope your appts went ok for you today.

Karen - Sounds like a lot of yard work going on over there! ;D

LisaG - Your Mama is on the mend for sure since there is no more fever!!  She just needs to get lots of rest and hydrate! :)

They've fledged ! ...8-6-2023     12:53pm   all that's left is part of a broken shell.



The 3rd clutch of the season has apparently fledged and completed 'Flight School' with their dad CR44. 
Sneaky little critters.
And mom's (CR47)holding down the 'fort' so-to-speak.
Had once thought s he might even join them.   But seems like she spent most
of the time as dad's second at base.
.
All I've seen are two of the younger chicks. CR #59 and # 60 OR CR 58 and 59. Both are extremely camera shy. The little 'buggers' !
Not at all sure what has happened  to CR #s 56, 57, and 58. Hopefully, they are more camera shy than the younger chicks.  Or maybe they've gone on into the world all on their own.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Phyl on August 16, 2023, 07:12:32 AM

Since fledgling haven't seen CR #s49 and 51 who've stayed on to help feed and tend the nesting box.  At any rate you both have been invaluable and we salute you!
Do take care out there---not everyone is like us!  Please visit---you know where we are and how to find us.  :-*

Anyway---hoping the shy feathered buggers get over their ‘Shyness’ soon. Otherwise, it’s not gonna be easy  for this gal getting some snaps.
You hear me?! :-*


Corrected stats for 3rd clutch of 2023 Nesting Season

5 eggs laid 7-10-23

5 eggs hatched 7-21-23 to 7-23-23

As far as we know 5 chicks fledged  about 7-6-23.

* a word of worry. Jim has failed to keep the nesting box padlocked. It has been unlocked for the pas two seasons. This is the first
season where doubt is cast on the number that actually fledged.
Hopefully, Jim will attach a small padlock and leave the key with me in the house.

Good Morning on this hump day!  Beautiful daisies this am!  Pink and white!   Lisa, hope your hair looks great!   I need a hair cut  but trimmed the bushes first!   Yard will not be a show case but it is now under control!   As I am sure Baz can tell you when your growing season is about 12 months long and squirrels run around planting trees you cannot ignore it for long!  Lol.  There are pluses and minuses. Piper isn’t sure what she thinks of the pine straw arrangements!

E4e, sounds like a good visit yesterday!  Where do your aunts live?  Sorry your Mom had to leave early.  I hope she feels better after her surgery!

Had a good rain for a bit in the middle of the night but hot and humid today!  The brief spell we had yesterday evening brought with it an hour of delightful weather!  It lasted about an hour and Piper and I took advantage of it!
Old Guy, how was the family reunion?

Time for pills and hh worker.

Good morning Beakers!
Hi 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!

Oldguy, What a wonderful safe haven WS has made for the cats... sweet Walter puts up with the cats too.... wonderful videos, thanks for taking the time to post them.  :)

BL,  :)

Clynn, I fell asleep early last night  :-[. ... fun pics from the state fair... love the watermelon cups. And longest beard contest. ;D

Eagles, glad you had a lovely visit with your family... I ended up falling asleep before posting last night  :-[. I hope you had a lovely evening too.  ;D ... prayers for your mom  :-*

Phyl, lovely good night pic ... good to hear Dan is doing well.... BBs season is over, now you can enjoy watching them, feeling safe and secure in their territory (yours/Jim's yard

Tsk, yes, baby sloths really have a lot of issues. No wonder the adults don't live too long either. And you find their babies alone.  :'( .... how nice the weather changed in time for you and friends to be able to enjoy a nice leisurely lunch.  :)

Baz, stunning pics from Pawleys Island... you and Zippo take care in this hot weather.

Karen, I think Lori's lemon/blueberry cake would have a lemon/cream cheese frosting placed on top of bottom cake layer then top with fresh blueberries. Then another layer then same process. The Pansies are eidible too.   https://awesomedesserts247.blogspot.com/2015/05/lemon-blueberry-layer-cake.html   I think I might make a lemon curd filling. Love lemon curd... enjoy your lovely yard.  :-*

{{{Tig}}} glad you could get everything taken care of.



Lisa, enjoy your day at the Salon!  ;D

Phyl - Mama sounds much better today, still feels tired, but a lil worried about her ear.  She says, it doesn't hurt but she said it feels clogged. She has appt on Monday with PCP, as she will be over her Covid isolation. Love the Happy Wednesday pic.

karen - Sounds like the landscaping crew did a great job for you.  I am loving my color..all the greys are gone.  ;D

E4E - Glad to hear that you all had a nice family visit. 

clynn - Mmmm, that watermelon looks so good.  Those beards... ;D

Waving to All the Beakers!

The Iowa State Fair had several different beard growing contest categories this year!

These were the beard contests, held August 15th, this year, which were part of the Heritage Contests:
Beard Growing Contest, 10:30 a.m.
Categories: Best Groomed, Longest Beard, Most Unique Beard Design, Most Historic Nature
and Best Beard Design with Costume.

Harold Stephenson, of Center Point, won the Iowa State 2023 Longest Beard category again this year, after finishing in 2nd place last year. He had won it from 2009-2021, until finishing in 2nd place last year.

This is a brief article, and video, about the winner with the longest beard this year (scroll down past all the ads to read the article's info). The video gives a better close-up look of the part of the beard that made him the winner, at 38 inches long:
https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-state-fair-best-beard-harold-stephenson-center-point/44822151#


P.S. Karen, I like Lani's version of the filling for that yummy-looking Lemon Blueberry Cake!  :D

Lani, you make lemon curd!!  Mmm.  I love lemon-flavored cakes and pies and pastries. My mother used to make lemon curd, too. It's so yummy, but intense!

Clynn - Great pics from the Iowa County Fair  ;D

Phyl - Thank you so much for prayer candle. Sis and I will take separate cars to the medical facility, but we will meet up and go in together with our Mom.  She is supposed to be there by 11:30 a.m., but we will have her there earlier than that (tomorrow).
I think you've done well at trying to keep up with the BB fledglings - it would be hard for anyone to try and stay on top of that! :)

Tsk - I did have an Uncle here yesterday too - he is married to my Mom's sister. :)  Yes - those airline meals - I never knew that is what he (my cousin) does! ;)

Tig  :)

LisaG - Bet you had a nice salon appt!  :)

Oldguy - Maybe I missed it, but did you ever comment about going to the family reunion?  Anyway, hope it was a good time! 8)

Karen - My Aunts live in Lodi, CA  (much warmer temps over there than where I live) ;)

Lani - Love the Royal Albatrosses - Maanaki so cute & those squeals!! ;D    Sometimes a person just needs sleep and rest - good for you!! :)  Love the cute 'salon' pic for LisaG  ;D

IA State Fair beard contest  ...


Tsk,  Clynn and Lani- yes I do fret a bit about Dan. But, I don't let him know that. He wouldn't like it that much.

Tsk Glad you have a nice day ahead, wow that humidity---it's good.  I usually try to follow the fledglings for as long as I can.
      They should stay a while with Mom and Dad before taking off on their own. YOu know if I can catch them, I'll snap 'em. LOL

Lisa- was gonna ask about your salon visit; very pretty and cheery greeting this AM. Thanks for update on your mom, PCP visit  ;)

OG- LOL camel; enjoyed what I've watched of the links, Walter is a 'godsend' to those cats as is WS;
          thoughtful letter  about resident feral cat to new homeowner---much like the one we'll write about our bluebirds.
       
Karen-  :)

Lani- tks for Royal update and Manaaki 'a weight in too. He's a handsome fella.  LOL the salon dog.  BB comment, thanks  :-*  Ditto CLynn/Tsk; appreciate the blueberry
          lemon cake recipe;

E 4E- sounds like you and your sis have your mom all set and taken care of tomorrow; tks for all the infor. Sending my best.

Jim's finishing up all the yardwork---two full yards take time.  I have him set with plenty water, he wears my dad's old mowing hat he wore on the desert.
 And he's all covered up so the sun won't burn him as he's so fair. He's on a break schedule as well---pacing himself.  And, I keep a watchful eye from upstairs.
Maggie's snoozing--gotta love her when she sleeps--blows tiny puffs of air out her furry mouth. When she's not snoring.  :-* :-* :-*

E4E - the reunion was good - each year the numbers keep dropping - there is only 1 member of my mothers siblings still alive and she is in ppor health and was unable to attend.  She was the youngest and lived with my family 1 year - she was 3 years older than my oldest brother.  We had about 40 attend.  I took a bunch of family mementos that my sister had collected from my Mom and Grandmother.  I invited everyone to pick out something to take as a memento of the family history.   I also tranfered 2 boxes of papers and photos to the cousin that agreed to continue the family records and geneology info that my sister created.  We had a pot luck meal at 1pm - both items that i brought had no left overs.  ;D (watermelon and pb rice crispies covered with Ghirardelli milk chocolate)

Q Kids did not put out a video friday - Bellamy was sick last week.  But she is back...

Tsk - Thank you - and yes, my Mom is anxiously awaiting her surgery tomorrow!   I too noticed Kb was absent, hope all is okay.

Oldguy - Glad to hear that the family reunion was good, although not as many folks.  That is too bad your Mom's only surviving sibling couldn't make it due to health issues, as I'm sure she was missed.  Still it sounds like a good turn out!  What a great idea you had in bringing family momentos for the others to choose something special.  I bet a great day was had by all who attended! 8)

BL - I hope you hear from Kb.

Beakers have a good night.

Oldguy, glad your family reunion went well. I'm sorry your mother's sibling, your aunt is in poor health and unable to enjoy being with all of you. It must have been so special for everyone to receive and enjoy the family momentos. I imagine there was a fun discussion of shared family history. What a treasure trove of family history for your cousin to research. Mike has been researching for his family for the past 15 years or so.

Tig, birthday greetings to your brother, sounds like a fun night.

Good night from Seal Island!

Thank you for posting... I have been working on a memorial for Savanna and some of the others we have lost... I have some old pics of her from the past few years visiting Newman and GSB.  I just glanced at the GSB recap & tears are flowing again.   :'( Missing our sweet girl Savanna.
 You and your 2 little ones rest in peace, we all love you Savanna!  You had mentioned Lisa? I heard something about Newman and a new friend.    I have not watched since the owl came back and took one of the little ones... just too hard sometimes.  I will have to check out GSB thread and see what's up with our handsome Newman, thanks for sharing all of this news, it's appreciated. Take care and Goodnight.  :-*

A floating water sausage....

I'm fine, just busy this entire week.

My neighbor did finally fix my reflector but only after I made a second call to her....After she revealed it was her husband driving..and getting defensive of him I told her I considered it a hit and run as she wouldn't stop blabbering and listen to what I had to say..
I fixed the fence part myself as best I could.
Bottom line, they drink too much, never take responsibility either. I thought this might have improved as they now have a 7 month old baby, but not so much I guess.

Have a salivary gland problem now for over a week as well which makes it difficult to eat..and mostly very annoying....large swelling after eating and pain...had same issue on other side maybe 6 years ago? ENT said then was a small duct opening/blocked and to use heat and ice which I've been doing and not improving all that much.

Mowed the back, weed whipped, weeded, raked yesterday....front side today.
Not enough rain to go without watering at least my perennial gardens with the upcoming heat.

Andrew visited and will fix my landscaping and make a new ramp for me over the sewer fix area next week.

kb - Glad that you got things straightened out with the neighbors.  Jeff had that same problem you are having with the gland, pain swelling, and face hurt.  They kept telling him it was the salivary gland, but it ended up being an infected root on his tooth that was causing it.  He had to have a root canal, and has not had a problem since.

((Lori)) - Will be looking for your memorial for the GSB falcons.   Thanks for the recipe.

Lani - Sydney is doing good, thanks for asking.  :-*

tig - Sorry about the concrete job taking a lil longer, cause of the heat.

E4E - Wishing your Mom good luck with her surgery today!

tsk - Did you have problems with your ear when you had the Covid?  If so, tell me so I can tell Mama.  LOL

Phyl - Thanks for kind words on cherry greeting yesterday.  :)

Since the cams are on HIGHLIGHT, and we can't see DH2...I am off across the bridge to the Amish Market this morning.   :)

I called the vet to make an appointment for Honey tomorrow afternoon... she didn't eat near as much yesterday and hardly any this morning. I think it's time, and there I go tearing up again. I just don't want her to suffer through the weekend...

Ollie and I took our walk this morning.....came across a young walker approaching us. She moved a titch over for us but stopped to ask about him....Not normally the kind of person I'd take that much notice of....Rings in her nose and all over....Ollie did bark but we stopped and I told her that's his way of acknowledging her as his tail was wagging....She stopped and we chatted while Ollie jumped up to kiss her....She wanted to know what kind of dog he was and she was a foster of dogs so not to worry..I told her and she said that's why I noticed him....a kind interaction between generations not normally interactive.....Ollie man brought us together!
He does that often, btw.

Mowed the front, etc. but didn't water as the wind is so strong.....will do tomorrow.

Forgot about the broken hip!  Years ago a fruend of mines parents retired, sold their home in Milwaukee, put things they wanted to keep in Storage got an rv and started traveling allover to see where they would like to settle down! When they got to San Diego, the woman broke her ankle.  As it was a real complicated break they thought it best to stay there until the healing was almost complete.   They thought the medical car was awesome, found a retirement community they liked, got movers to get the stuff in storage.  Never left SD. Too bad clynns sister didn't stay in Hot Springs!   Might have liked it!  Life takes funny twists and turns.
Tsk!  I have to find folks to get stuff off of the top shelf too.  Having the same problem at home!

Love the fun pics of your Munchkins!!
Sorry to hear your BIL took such a terrible fall - not the way one wants to start enjoying a vacation. I sure hope he is somehow staying as comfortable as possible - I can't even imagine the pain he must be enduring.  Prayers for your sister and BIL.

LisaG - Your bread and the slice of pie look so yummy - wish you could share with us! Lol!

Some of you are wondering about my Mom's surgery today.  She went into surgery @ 1 and it took 3 hrs.  They called me and said that they will be releasing my Mom to go home tonight.  My sis and I are waiting for them to call us to go and pick her up.  Looks like she will get released around 6:30-7:00 (so that's in about another 30-60 minutes.)   Doctor said all went well - so we are grateful.

All of us are with you with all the love you gave to your honey, Clynn.  Remember her love for you that you shared.

Spent too long watching a bear at Katmai in distress.  From the posts there must have been a fight.  For about 3 hours it's laying down completely on the far bank, deep and heavy breathing.  Occasionally they zoom back to her to give us any updates.  So sad, too much pain to watch.  I'll check back in tomorrow - hope the resting brings some encouraging news.

There must be a short people virus going around. . .Clynn, tsk, kareng, tig - we all have the "inch loss" disease.  I've been finding a tall person a few years already.  And, believe it or not, that's why it was nice when Ton came grocery shopping.  His 5'1" wasn't very helpful you gotta know.  But, he was game to pull/push goods on the lower shelves aside and climb up to get whatever.

Eagles, I'm happy for you and your sister that all went well with your mom's surgery and she's able to go home tonight. Prayers for her comfort, healing and quick recovery.

Puff, Are you talking about Otis at Brooks Fall? He's the oldest bear and loved by all. The Rangers keep a close eye on him. Rangers said, he had a lot of salmon today, and it takes longer for him to digest his food and needs longer naps. He moves slower, is breathing harder, but at this time the mods are posting he just needs his rest. But I understand your concern, after I read your post, I've been watching him since then, he's only turned from one side to another. He'd like to get up, but seems very tired.  I pray the big ole boy just needed a good rest like the rangers have said. Oh he's moving down to the waters now, it's 9:20pm Alaska time, 11:20 CT. I hope this is the bear you talked about. No one has mentioned another bear in distress.

Otis  :-*

Yes, Lani  that is the bear I've been watching.  Wow, he doesn't look to be doing so well.  Hope it's just a bad day.

But then, who/what's the one they're showing with the big gash in the leg?  Got some info from the post that's on the right, scrolled down for Aug 17.

Love this!..that's the area I grew up in, Nine Mile Creek in Bloomington. The forest has been invaded by buckthorn. An invasive that destroys the rest of the forest.

These goats are released to attack the buckthorn...Humans also will hand destroy it, but releasing the goats gets a good head start!

I am watching Hurricane Hillary as most of my Dad's side of relatives live in San Diego...Historic rains may happen...I especially am watching for my cousin who lives in Jamul a more desert like area and she's always owned and shown Horses....I assume she will move them if they flood so am keeping my eyes open for Sunday/Monday or so.

https://coloradosun.com/2023/08/16/hoa-foreclosure-colorado-opinion-zornio/

this woman expresses my feelings about HOA's way better than I could...in this case, Colorado, HOA's are foreclosing on owners who owe maybe a thousand or so bucks on their fee, turning around and selling them for a huge profit....
Busy body, bossy, bullying usually women who are on these boards....disgusting.

Morning all!...heading out to hand water and start sprinklers this morning...we are in for an extended heat wave with no rain starting tomorrow.

tsk - I don't recognize that woman we met yesterday but I assume she lives nearby...
My sister used to foster puppies for years...

Well, last evening after I posted, Honey was standing at the top of the basement stairs looking down. I thought she might be needing the litter box, so I carried her down and she used it! Back upstairs, after a short rest, she was looking at her food bowls, so I put fresh food out for her. She lapped it up like she was very hungry. And this morning she was waiting for me to get her breakfast for her, and again, she ate with gusto! I give her the Fancy Feast Broths and Sheba Salmon Kitten food. So I think I will call and cancel the appointment for this afternoon unless something happens... Thank you all for your kind words...I know everyone of you know how it feels...

Lani, good ol' Otis, I wonder how old he is, do they know? They called about my car, they think the computer thingy needs a new thingy and are waiting for the warranty people to approve. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with the liftback, and I asked them if they closed it with the remote and drove around. That is when it was opening, while I was driving! They didn't listen to me very well when I explained what the issues were, and I gave them my cell # to call me. They called the land line. Not listening again...

Puff, I acquired a very nice 'grabber' when we were cleaning out Kay's house (we all got one, she had several) and I use it occasionally. Doesn't help in most cases, like reaching a glass baking dish off the top shelf. Usually use my handy little folding stool! Ed is 6'1", so if he is around he is my grabber! Sounds like Ton was resourceful, I have been known to find something with a long handle in the store to pull down something on the top shelf, I have even waited for a tall man to walk by and asked him to reach for me!

E4E, glad to hear your Mom's surgery went well. I hope she heals quickly and can get back to normal soon! Nice that she has your sister there! I haven't heard from my sister yet, I will call her today. He won't be a good patient though, Cathy texted my other sister Becky and I  'is everybody an ass when they come out of surgery?'  ;D

Phyl, we had a beautiful day yesterday and another one today, high 83. Then we have 97,97,98,101,103,99,88 for the next week. Hope it changes, it did last time they predicted a week like this! Honey is forging on... I did see some lightening bugs when I was at Mom's last month!

tsk, have been sending prayers for your friend's hubby...and for your friend Lisa. I cannot imagine... Well, I thought Wednesday was my last day with the Munchkins because school starts Wednesday, but I am going to have them on Monday! Sydney works for the school district and she has to be there Monday, so one more day this summer!

Lisa, hope your Mom is feeling better each day!  I would definitely go over that bridge for those yummy goodies!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

EAGLES  Thanksgiving for Mom's successful surgery and hope she had a restful night.  Maybe you will see her today?

LANI   Otis - Just hard to get old for pets too.. :'(

KB   Glad the goats are getting ahead start on the buckthorn.  So invasive.  HOAs - Put those folks on the "injustice" list.  Lots of that going around but hopefully the good deeds outnumber the bad...

CLYNN   Glad Honey is rallying a bit today.  You will know when.   :'(    Oh no!  Your lift back opens while driving???  You can almost bet it won't do it when they drive it around.     BIL   LOLOL  Blame it on the anesthetics  :o    YAY  one more munchkin day  :)

tsk - Thinking of your friend {{Lynn & her husband}}.  The Cranberry Orange Walnut loaf was delicious.  It was nice and moist.

Phyl - The bread was a Cranberry Orange Walnut loaf, and the other thing in pic was a peanut butter pie.

E4E - Glad to hear that your Mom's surgery went well, and that she was able to go home.  Hope she is doing good today.   

Lani - Awww, Otis!

clynn - That is great news about Honey!  Mama sounds better, just still tired.  LOVE the beautiful August day in Iowa pic, and the Bone Gap pic.

Good morning Puff, Sweet Otis is in his office still fishing, best spot at the falls and a coveted place of honor. I wish we could have some of that rain.... The other bears continue to respect his place in their hierarchy, but there will be battles to prove he's worthy. They have have gashes and bites from fighting for a coveted spot. I've seen terrible ones and its amazing how the cold waters help the healing. A few weeks ago a cub was killed by a male bear.  :'( That seldom happens but it does and I didn't watch for a while after that. And the mother bear took her other 2 cubs down to the lower river to fish. I've been down through the chat roll and found a pic of Walker #2 in the bear's standing, he has a small gash on his leg. And he's had worse, a bite taken off his face. I'm not sure if that's the bear you're talking about. But, I watched a challenge of youngster Bucky challenging Walker for his coveted spot below the falls. Bucky lost that challenge and he will learn he's not ready for the big boys/girls yet. I keep Brooks Fall streaming on our main room tv screen. Mike enjoys watching it with a bowl of popcorn.

{{{CLynn}}}- what wonderful news about {{{Honey}}}  :-*  I'm thrilled for her and you all. I think she just has some really off days.  Your
             love will keep her going.  Glad you have one more day with Bella/Talon before school starts. The liftback pops open when you drive?!  :o

{{{KB}}}- thanks for 9Mile Creek report--the goats will be a big help with buckthorn. All I know is once the invasive flora gets a
       foothold almost impossible to destroy and clear out. Hope the goats do the 'trick'. Sending my best for your dad's family
        your cousin with HH.  I don't think our HOA would do that with back fees/penalties. But! They will attach a lien for that.
        Right now our's is worthless as  most homeowners are no longer interested in attending meetings and these rental-buy out
        companies are buying up houses like mad. So the quorum is impossible to achieve when voting, etc.

Tsk-this AM's breakfast-yummy ;  our Autumn won't throw hints till late Sept. That will begin the 'sitting outdoors all day/evening'  ;D

Lisa- happy to hear your mom is improving; pretty tulips

Lani-  I like Otis and wish him the best. Every living creature has the hardships/challenges of aging. All we and them , can do is our best. For  the fauna it's
         a matter of survival, I know.

Hi Puff



I envy folks that know how to get the computer on their flat screen TVs.  Our's is computer capable and not even Xfinity will tell us how to get this. Time to
         check  with Best Buy guys.   Guess Jim will inquire when he goes to replace our Blu-ray player---he tore it up two weeks ago getting out a  Redbox DVD that got
         stuck. He was having such  'fun' as it was a Panasonic and gave us  fits . I didn't even balk. Rather enjoyed watching the destruction.  ;D

Lisa glad to hear your mom's is improving each day. Love your morning pic.

{{{Clynn}}} YAY more time with the munchkins before school!  awww {{{Honey}}} bless her, sending wishes and prayers to you and Honey.  :-* ... Brooks Fall Rangers note Otis was first sighted in 2001 as an older sub-adult, so he's probably 23 or 24 years old.... it is the most frustrating thing when repairmen and they are usually men do not listen, (apologies to BL, Oldguy, Lilbro  :) I do not mean our Beakers  ) or seem to be dismissive about our descriptions about what's going on with our car or appliances.  ::) ... this last time I sent our service repairman an youtube video of the exact sound our washer was making, because whatever he kept doing wasn't working. I hope the warranty company approves and you can get your car repaired.... I'm laughing at the text from your sister Cathy.  ;D .. safe travels for them... stunning photo of Iowa's sunflower fields, this is my favorite time of year and then everything slowly turns into autumn.... Bone Gap is the place to be this time of year!

Phyl, love today's pet shames!  ;D ;D ;D

Kb, the goats will do their job well.... our community is trying to replace our HOA. We're hopeful that will be successful... prayers for your cousin's family... we're watching the weather too. The storms over California will head our way. And it's been cloudy since we woke up. By the way, a young coyote surprised us on our morning walk. As we were returning home, and just two long blocks away. Sadie jumped and barked which caught me off guard a young coyote stepped out from a bush just 15 feet from us. What a shock! I squealed which I'm sure woke up the neighbors, as well as the dead. I had to drag Sadie away, she wanted to go after it. And the coyote was not alarmed, and just followed us for a block. We continued walking home and would you believe the coyote was waiting for us.  :o It was standing in front of our garage door. Not frightened, just letting us know, it knew where we lived. Well, that set Sadie off even more. The coyote slowly walked away and left to the right of our driveway down the rocks and toward the back of our home. I just wanted to get Sadie in the garage and shut the door. Brazen little thing. If you see one, two others are always nearby, they travel as a pack, never alone.

{{{Tsk}}} prayers for Lynn and husband... I'm so sorry  :-*

{{{Eagles}}} I pray your mom is comfortable and recovery is going well.  :-*

Oh Lani. how terrifying...so glad Sadie didn't pull you to the ground...Ollie would have me...I do carry mace when I walk him for that reason and unreasonable biting dogs that are loose...

I bought some more wolf urine to spray my property with every 2 weeks going forward....I have no idea or not if it helps other than to say I haven't seen one walk up my driveway since I started doing it..

I saw that the storm will trend into your area and Nevada as well..some of my relatives did also move to the suburbs of Vegas...

Reminds me while flying as a flight attendant in my early 737 days, Las Vegas got hit with a snow storm...they were brooming off the runway....LOL....they didn't have snow removal equipment in those days!..this would have been the mid 70's.....deserts aren't built for flooding nor snow!

Well I feel pretty lazy today and after watering this morning and planning on finishing my painting outside project I feel nah....doing nothing the rest of the day and that makes me feel a titch guilty...

(((CLYNN + HONEY + CATHY AND HUBBY)))  I love the pics of the Munchkins! You get a Bonus Day with them! I want some of that yummy Bone Gap chowder!!  Oh, you're about to get me started on the "deaf" men at the dealership Service Dept. There are some advantages to getting to a certain age. I am now the "mother from h-e-l-l" to them when I think it is required, and do not mind saying things like, "Let me repeat that, because you weren't even looking at me while I was talking to you, so I'm not sure you were really listening, and the details matter!" Don't get me started!!

(((TSK + LYNN + BILL)))

E4E, good news for your ((Mom's)) successful procedure!  Watch out for any heavy rains that may be coming your way in a few more days, from Hilary.

LISA, I'm so glad to hear your ((Mom)) is doing better!! For myself, at my age, and if I had a positive Covid dx, I would've changed doctors if I had gotten the same advice she did from the doctor.  :o

LANI, I'm glad you and Sadie got home safely! Sly coyote! Nerve-wracking, following you that way, and then looping around to "greet" you at home, like the Welcome Party!  Oh my... two shakes of a wet noodle at Milo!!  ;) :D :-*  (((OTIS)))  :-* :-*



I'm off to the store - shopping for me and my neighbor, who is in her mid-70s and has been ill for a month, and who also endured a late night in the ER last night, due to a very scary situation, that turned out to be a side effect (per the ER doc... ) from the dye with contrast scans she had yesterday morning to try to get to the bottom of why she isn't getting better over the past month of treatment. This morning, at home, she is showing a tiny bit of sign of that maybe starting to dissipate, thankfully... but it's a wait-and-see. She's never had any ill effects from dye with contrast for scans in the past, and neither have I, but I know I've always been advised of the possible significant side effects of that.

Waving to All the Beakers!

LANI   Thanks for the update on who's who at Brooks Falls.   The bigger the mammals get the harder to watch killing of their own.  :'(
A Youtube video of the sound of the washing machine- What a great idea  :o    I agree with you about the "essence" of fall on the horizon.  :)   WHAT a coyote story.  I would have been so afraid it would have gone for Sadie.  I forget - Do you carry something with you?.  Pepper spray?  And the fact that it was waiting for you  :o :o :o

PHYL   We had the BEST homeowners assoc in Door county ( maybe different than your HOAs)  when we owned there.  It was made up of the owners many of who had expertise in the areas needed to run the community.   Whole community was really invested in keeping it in the black and those that chose to rent their units had tons of regulations to follow.  Well run consistently with a very responsible board of directors.  Once a year meetings very well attended.  I think there were 74 units and less than 10% lived there year round.  Funny shames  ;) ;)

BAZI   Bet you do have some stories  ;D ;D ;D    Hugs to your neighbor and she's lucky to have you as a neighbor taking time to do the shopping.  I'm sure she really appreciates that.

We've got the yards (ours and Sadia's) all caught up.   willow tree shrubs all trimmed and cleaned out around.  Land's scaping trimmed/weeded and all.
They each  look impressive.   I used mom's cane and cleaned out nesting box #1. Checked on nesting box #2 and did a refresher. Now the BBs have a home for the winter again. We've had as many  6 adult BBs in each for the winter. I hope Jim turns #2 box around to slightly  face #1  instead of looking away toward Sadia's.

Our longtime neighbor across from us has told us he's gonna sell.  Says the house and all is too much.  Looking for an appt.  And, thinks we should follow suit.   Dunno.
  We'll miss the BBs and they us.
Sooooo. Will interesting to see who buys.

 ...always carry pepper spray that goes for the two legged  as well.  ;)

KB- you put in the time in your garden and all. And, it shows! Certainly deserve some time out. I wish some folk here,  were more like you. Hope you're feeling better.

Lisa- tks for update on your mom. I know zinc is very beneficial for  colds and flu---so why not CoVid?

Lani, love the dog in the sunglasses!   So funny!  Thanks for allyour info today. Otis is a sweetie and probably has arthritis
Got Pipers dna report today!   Everyone said she was a chihuahua ,pug mix!  Lol.  Not a dropof pug in her!  She is Chihuahua, rat terrier, Australian cattle dog, yorki and Pomeranian! 
I can see the first and the last but not the other 3!  She is sweet, cute and very well behaved!

Lani, I do not think the coyote would hurt Sadie but very scary!  They jump fences in CA to get watout of swimming pools!

Baz, good deed!

Glad moms are doing well!  Prayers for you friend Tsk and seds to all!

Puff - I can understand both short and tall;  my Mom's side 'short' and my Dad's side 'tall'!

Lani - Poor Otis - hope he is really okay.

Phyl - Cute image this morning  :)

Kb - Love the morning pic!

Clynn - Amazing how Honey keeps surprising you with how she keeps proving herself!  I have to say I am so happy you cancelled the appt today!    Yaay - One more day with the Munchkins on Monday!

Tsk - I did not go see my Mom today, but we talked on the phone probably 5 times today!  She had a good night and seemed to be in good spirits today!  I offered to go to the store for her, but she didn't need anything.     If I lived near you, I would come and get some of your lovely tomatoes!  I didn't grow any this year, but next year I will plant - as there is nothing better than 'home grown'!!

LisaG - Glad you Mom is already feeling a bit better - it will take time to feel 'normal' again, but your Mom will bounce back real quick! ;D

Lani - Scary situation with the coyote that showed up on your walk and followed you.  Please have a plan of safety for you & Sadie in the event you need it.    Milo helping to press buttons for you - Lol! ;D

Kb - You deserve to take the afternoon off - don't ever feel guilty about it. :)

Baz - Yes - I've been watching the news and all the updates on Hillary!  I am aware! :)  It will be interesting - especially keeping an eye on Orange County in So. Cal where one of my sons resides!

Karen - Wow! How fun and interesting to get Piper's DNA results!!

All have a good night  :)

Royal Albatross 8/19  What did they say to each other?. They're cute  ;D ;D ;D

Yesterday afternoon, Manaaki went down to see UQ chick. They exchanged a skycall or 2, and some yaps and bill claps.
Enjoy your weekend, and thank you.

Baz, sending prayers for your neighbor, I bet she appreciates your help, it's a comfort for her.  :-*

{{{Kb}}} take time for yourself too.

Yes, I carry pepper spray ever since we moved to AZ and started walking the hills.

Tsk, You're very lucky you had a great HOA. Sadly we do not. No communication leads to problems in all areas...  It's time for a change of our board and HOA. We're voting in September and hoping for good results which will bring back communication and equality. Thinking and sending prayers for Lynn and Bill.... love Roma tomatoes, I wish I was there to pick a few up from your stand. LOL!

SED Lisa glad your mom improves every day...  :-*

Phyl, sweet good night pic

Karen, goodness Piper's got interesting DNA results! Australian Cattle dog is surprising.  ;D

Eagles, glad to hear your mom is in good spirits and had a good night's sleep. I bet she's relieved to get the surgery behind her. I hope the storm doesn't do any serious damage. I can hear thunder in the distance here.

Good night from the lower river of Brooks Falls!

Good Morning Beakers...

We ended up keeping our appointment for Honey at the vet, we got our hopes up because she ate so good in the morning, but I think it was her last bit of strength she used to do that. I hope you don't mind the pictures of her this morning, but it was so hard to let her go. Please don't say anything, I know you have all had these same feelings and it just brings more tears. Honey is in a good place now with no more pain. I have a wonderful group of kitties waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge...

Phyl, my favorite is the cat on the counter, that would be Harley. We have a week of hot weather coming up, starting with 95 today.

BL, absolutely love Joni Mitchell singing Both Sides Now, what a poignant and timeless song...

baz, another great Joni song... You are a good neighbor! When Kelsey makes lasagna I usually take a meal to the older ladies across the street, they love it! Ford finally called me yesterday (they had my car for 2 days)!  The warranty peeps approved the part they need to replace for the computer screen glitches, he said it was quite pricey. They couldn't find anything wrong with the liftback (they totally didn't listen to what I said was happening), so now they want to take it over to the body shop and have them look at it. The part will be in Monday or Tuesday, I will take it back on Tuesday.

Lani, wonderful video of Manaaki and UQ visiting, so cute how they are starting to practice the Albatross traits! What a pretty sunset at Brooks Falls! What a scare for you and Sadie on your walk, glad you carry the pepper spray. We have a bumper crop of Roma tomatoes too, come help yourself!  This has been Ed's best year for tomatoes yet, lots of BLT sandwiches!

karen, that is quite a mix for Piper! And she is a good dog, perfect for you!

E4E, good to hear your Mom is doing well!

tsk, this must be a banner year for the Roma tomatoes in the Midwest, and they are very tasty as well! Every time Ed goes out to look at his plants he brings in several! No news from Lynn yet?

Lisa, sounds like your Mama is getting better, that's wonderful!

Well, my cousin who lives in Jamul told me she lives on a hill as do her horses so she's not that worried. Also, Jamul is on the western flank of the mountains and I think they predict more flooding on that eastern flank.
Good to know...
I have lots of other cousins in and around San Diego, Irvine, Fallbrook, and Nevada....so this shall be interesting but none of them have horses or animals to worry about.

Whew, done with Ollie bath....as he was drying on the tar in front and tied up a weird younger woman walked by...she motioned him and kept saying no as he was doing an alert bark is all.
Frig you....he's on his own property doing what dogs do and I want him to do....clearly tied up without any aggression.
I never leave him outside anymore in front without my watching every second from inside the cooler couch and also have my camera.
People need to chill out....with all the barking Ollie and I experience walking around the neighborhood from dogs on their own property I would never even think to tell another dog to shush up..

E4E, I would love it if I could magically send you some tomatoes, Ed just brought in some more.  I need to cook some bacon today, we could eat BLTs every day! I try to keep the pre-cooked bacon on hand in case I don't have any cooked. Very handy!

tsk, bacon is a wonderful food!

Montana Osprey Cams - August 17 at 7:42 PM  ·
Hallelujah, it’s raining Males! Well, it seems so after the drought we’ve had the past few years at the nest. Who ended this “male drought?” There was Louis (of course), Lupine, unbanded males, and Blue-Banded males, including 3T. The nest has become a sort of Osprey Dating Game, with Iris in the middle and not wanting to choose any.
Let’s start at the beginning. That’s always a good place to start.
The first male to show up at Iris’s nest was, of course, Louis.  There have been some differences this year. Louis didn’t show up until 8 days after Iris arrived.  He also did not come as often to mate this year, with 7 days occurring between the eggs laid. Usually, it is 3 days between eggs for ospreys. The last time Louis came to mate was May 28th and Iris was not receptive. It would be two months before Louis showed up on cam again, on July 28th. We can definitely see their relationship is waning.
Iris had some females visit the nest, but the first male to visit the nest was on April 30th. Another male came on May 7th.
We didn’t have to wait long for another male to show up. On May 10th a male sporting a blue band flew over the nest at 10:44. He was originally identified as N6. But after reviewing the video, an antenna can be seen as Lupine flies away. Lupine left his summer home on the coast of Tabasco, MX around April 23rd. Lupine visited Iris three more times. He came on May 20, May 21, and on June 18th.
An unbanded male landed on the nest, then flew to the Owl Pole on May 10th at 9:09, and again at the nest at 12:34.
On May 12, we saw one at 9:28 at the nest, then he flew to the Owl Pole.
On May 16th at 10:46, another blue-banded male osprey thought he just might land on Iris’s nest, but she winged him off. The characters on the band were not identifiable. Iris also laid her second egg on this date. She certainly had her wings full.
On May 25th, Iris’s first potential suitor began what could be called the “Courtship of a Young Osprey.” (We believe this osprey may have been the  unbanded osprey that showed up on May 7th, May 10th and 12th.) He was certainly persistent, but unschooled in the ways of osprey courtship. He returned twice on May 30th. The courtship heated up on June 6th. He began visiting the nest regularly. Iris started bringing sticks to the nest and on June 9th Iris was receptive to mating, as she raised her tail when he mounted her, although no copulation occurred. Our excitement was short-lived because this male osprey was last seen on May 10th. Maybe he got cold feet. We believe he might have stopped by the nest on July 14th.
Things were quiet until Aug. 9th. A blue-banded osprey with the characters 3T visited Iris four times beginning at 07:00. The Osprey Project Team banded 3T in Missoula at the Tower Rd nest in 2019.
A different blue-banded male osprey lands on the nest the very next day, Aug. 10th. The characters were not readable.
An unbanded male landed on the nest on Aug. 15th. (maybe Louis)
3T returns to the nest acting as if he belonged on Aug 17th. He moved sticks while Iris chirped. He and Iris stayed on the nest together for 14 minutes until 3T flew.
This brings us up-to-date on all the episodes of The Courtship of Iris. Like any good drama, there is plenty of mystery of which we will never know the answer. Stayed tuned! There could be several episodes left in this season and there is always a cliffhanger in Hellgate Osprey Land. Enjoy and Cheers!  SharonLeigh for the Montana Osprey Project Team

Morning 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 and Family}}}  :-* ... great pic of DH2... I've been holding my breath and saying prayers for Iris and 3T. He helped her with nesting duties the other day. I wish Louis would just stay away. But, he's shown up a few times to chase 3T off.

Eagles, we buy Costco bacon too. Mike's splits the packages in half and freezes in separate baggies. {{{your mom and sister}}}

Tsk, thinking about your friends.  :)

BL, love Joni  :)

Phyl, great Caturday shames

Kb, The Tree top trail would be great to walk, interesting about the static electricity. YAY Ollie! Sadie needs a bath, but she's always had one with Dewey by her side.
And I've never given her one here at home. She's very picky about things like that.

Lani - I feel ya....Ollie is not fond of water.

Since chris and I can't lift him up easily to put him in our large laundry tub we've had to improvise...and it's not the same....Nonetheless...I tie him up to a lead in back (no lifting)...lead is too long though....Carry 2, 5 gallon buckets filled half way outside with warm water, put a kneeling pad down while Chris stands by with treats. I use 2 smaller containers to dip into the larger buckets and do the best I can with baby shampool..It's much harder to get his chest and belly standing than it is in the laundry tub.

Good luck!

EAGLES  Don't have a lot of freezer room but I buy a pound and cut it crossways into thirds and use freezer paper to freeze each third.  That way I only take out what I need.

KB   People are people.  We know the dog won't quiet but she didn't.... ::) ::)  She probably didn't want anyone to know she was the cause of it.

CLYNN   Benny and Sue must be visiting Decorah.   Saw that raining males article yesterday - Glad you posted it.  When it rains it pours for Iris.

LANI   Enjoying the "cool cats"  ;D

T40   2nd one very funny.   LOLOL  "the butcher knife of paralysis"  Amazing.( Tony Baker)      Harpy chick - Can't tell a book by its cover  LOL
Husky puppy really had me laughing.

TIG   Had BLT's and cantaloupe for lunch today   ;D

PHYL  so far not having to set up the stand - Lunch with friends on Monday and Bible study on Tues will get rid of a lot of them. ;)

Oh Lisa!   She is precious!  Does she look like her Daddy?   She has some very long legs in addition to the other attributes mentioned by Lani!   Just adorable.  I have to ask, what is that salad you made?   Your dinner sounds great.

Clynn, Benny takes good photos!  Enjoyed the recap of Iris suitors!  Isn't it late for her to start a family this year?  All these men must be making Louis jealous!  Go away!

Roma tomatoes make great pasta sauce!

The Royal As on a play date are funny!  They might be discussing their trip around the world!

My Perfect Dog ate my hearing aids this am!  Did not actually eat them but chewed the part that goes in the ear off!  They were in the charger on a table,  I will keep her anyway!

Lisa- lots of 'grilled zucchini 'recipes out there  :-\   sounds  a  delish and healthy dish and the other white meat  ;)

Tsk- lovely idea to take to a produce food bank--do the most good. No A/C here as yet. But, next week will be in the 90's and that means 80F+  inside upstairs.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts yesterday, Harley has been getting lots of loving...

Lani, oh those sweet little Dalmatian puppies!  I am also hoping and praying that Iris and 3T can bond enough before migration so that they can meet back at Hellgate in the spring!

karen, so funny, finding an emery board in Piper's bed! She may be a gatherer of things!  Sorry about your hearing aids, now you know to put them up high!

tsk, sorry to hear about Bill, prayers for Lynn... We had BLT's for dinner last night, we have had a few large tomatoes besides the Romas and the cherry tomatoes, cherry tomatoes don't do very well in BLTs!

Lisa, Sydney is changing day by day! What a cutie pie!

T40, great videos, the first one is my favorite! Haven't watched the voice-overs yet, they are always good. Skippity-Pap!

Phyl, I agree, one can never have too many BLTs! I cooked 2 packages of bacon in my 'extra large oven crisp baking tray' that I got at Sam's last year! Now I can whip up a couple of BLTs in a flash!  We are headed for 95 today, 77% humidity. Love the beach girls! The Black Eaglet is really growing! Do you know if they have named it yet?

Good Morning CLynn-   No don't know the Blk Eagle chick's name can't find much info on Black Eagles of Roodekrans nest ; cute  little 'wood flies';
                                  since I don't like my house to smell like  bacon or 'anything' but clean- ---Jim's offered to grill a batch outdoors just so
                                  we can have bacon more often. Sure why not---cheaper than buying it precooked which is what I do. Publix had Hormel bacon as BOGO last week.
                                  I noticed 3 sets (6pkgs) in the garage freezer.  So, get  the griddle on that grill and get grilling Jim.  :)   tks for   Sue Bruhling 's photo of DH2   
                                   #3 is a good saying.     How's Harley?

tsk, Harley slept next to me last night, his head close enough so I could pet him! He occasionally slept on the bed before, but never with his head up close to me, farther down the bed so I could barely reach his back end.

Phyl, that's a good idea, cooking bacon on the grill! Our grill has a griddle insert but it would take forever to cook 2 packages on it. Do you have a big griddle? I have to watch Ed cooking out in this heat, he gets so hot and his head starts sweating profusely (due to the pain meds he is on). Harley is good, he likes to be out on the deck, even in these really hot temps. He watches the activity of the birds and chipmunks. Strangely, I haven't seen any squirrels for a while...wonder where they went?

Phyl - My mama sent plenty of those headbands you mentioned to Sydney, but I don't think she will be wearing them.  When we were buying clothes for her, we were told, no ruffles.   ::)

tsk - Yes, the pics that I have got of Sydney, I can see a change in her since the only time I've seen her.  Remember the conversation we had at your house about your SIL, I think it's gonna be that way for me, too.  Prayers for Bill & Lynn. 

karen - I can see a Bradley in her, and then I can see Kelly.  She is a good mixture of both.

 Speaking of Barb, she has been in Boston since Friday, visiting a whole bunch of friends who in the winter are at their condo building in Florida which is how she met them eons ago.  A group live in the Boston area and have a mini reunion during the summer - so she went this year.. So what happens to Tom who had a cold when she left - he went to the ER yesterday - pneumonia in left lung  :o  We are feeding him!   Subsequently the trip to DCW they had planned for Monday to Wed will now be a solo for Tim.  :(    I pick Barb up from the airport Monday afternoon.

LisaG - Sweet pic of Sydney - she is such a cute little doll!!   I do hope that Sydney will be able to wear those darling headbands that your Mama bought for her.   I too, will look for that box of Pasta Salad at the store!

Karen - Yikes! Piper did a 'no-no' - do you have another pair of hearing aides?

Tsk - Those BLTs sound so good!  I may have to cook up some bacon this morning! ;D    So sorry to hear about Bill {{{Lynn & Bill}}}      Just read about Tom - hope he feels better soon.   I'm sure Tim is disappointed to go on that little trip by himself, but hopefully he still enjoys.

Good morning Phyl!  That's great that Jim is willing to grill bacon - good idea!!

Lani - Cute 'nite' pic.  Thank you for all the prayers for all the folks.

Clynn - You have the perfect baking tray for cooking up lots of bacon!   Love the pic of DH2 in flight - thank you for posting and thank you to Sue too!   Beautiful pic at the Hellgate Osprey area.

Kb - Enjoy your early walk with Ollie! ;D

Everyone have a nice Sunday  :)

Good Morning! 

Tsk sorry about Tom!  Hope Tim still enjoys  the trip!   All the talk about bacon makes me think I need to get some!   Phyl, I love the smell of bacon, garlic and turkey!  Makes me think Mama is in rge house!

Thanks for all the pictures !  Come on Iris!  Thanks  Sue B and Clynn!   ((Harley))

Kelly must think ruffles are still hard to iron!   What she and other mothers do not realize is that girls and boys, too, will decide what they will wear and mama cant control it!   Not worth a battle either!

Hot and humid!  Going to 100 for the first time  this year on Saturday and Sunday!

He has a much bigger challenge this year.
The fish were super abundant in 2021. Not so much this year.
But if any bear can rise to the challenge, Otis can.

His all night fishing sessions are proof of that.

This cute little apple cinnamon cake is like a Mini Coffee Cake. The cake is spongy and moist, with big swirls of apple and cinnamon and a sweet powdered sugar glaze that sets and crinkles when you cut into it... It smells like apple-cinnamon magic.💜

(((CLYNN + HONEY + HARLEY)))  Sweet time with Harley nearer last night.  :-*

(((TSK))), (((LYNN + BILL))), and sending get well fast wishes for Tom, and smooth travels for Tim.  There was some awful weather, and flooding, around the BOS area the last few days - hope it didn't put a crimp in Barb's time with "the girls" there. So, when they aren't in FL, do Barb and Tim live near you? I didn't realize that, but you said you're feeding Tom while he's sick at home, so that made me wonder how nearby they are. I love making a fresh homemade simple marinara sauce from Romas for topping pasta, or chicken, or burgers, and really any meat, and fish... and on top of some veggies, plus green salads. It's good on almost anything! Just a small dice, tossed with good virgin olive oil, basil or dill or oregano, and maybe some garlic, or lemon juice, or combo of herbs you like. I will make a cup of it and dip it with chips, too!  Mmm, now I'm getting hungey!  ;)

KAREN, ruh-roh! It sounds like you're going to need to "doggy proof" your home like we do for toddlers - nothing on tables and counters that are possibly within reach, even if you think they aren't, or that they would not be of interest! Hugs for that silly scoundrel... LOL.  So, it sounds like your "PD" Piper is a "hunter gatherer" - LOL! But, yikes!on your hearing aid getting chewed! - that's an expensive "oops!" I hope your homeowner's insurance will cover a replacement, or help.

LANI, it looks like Hilary's track is maybe a bit east of where it was showing yesterday, so I'm guessing that will maybe mean more rain, and wind coming closer to your area - hope you don't have any trees come down on power lines from the gusts, causing power outages for you. Did Shannon and her household move to higher ground, or are they coming to your place till the flooding danger has passed?

E4E, per my note to Lani, I hope your area stays out of the impact area, and maybe the updated Hilary track I last saw might mean your son, in Orange County, will have a bit of less flooding impact. The flooding risk in some places is going to be devastating. Has he decided to temporarily relocate for a couple days till the flooding danger has passed for his area? I hope he will stay safe, and drive before the rains hit his area, if he decides to go to higher ground, or farther from the flash flood area.

LISA, oh my! What a sweet baby that Sydney is! :-* :-*  Gorgeous! A great picture of her - she looks older than her days!! LOL. So alert!  What a sweetheart! I hope you will maybe get to do something like call Kelly directly and make a "visiting" lunch date with her for sometime soon, for maybe taking a simple lunch in totheir house to have with Kelly during your visit, and her mom, if she's still there, and of course, with Bradley, too, if he's home then. That way you can cuddle and take care of sweet Sydney while they take a lunch break! HUGS!

WAVING TO ALL THE BEAKERS!!   :)

Everyone in the path of the wind, rain, and flooding from Hilary, please stay safe. Remember there may be significant flooding and landslides, or mudflows, in areas that don't get really excessive rain, due to elevation, burn scars, and downstream impacts from creeks, rivers, arroyos, and other drainage structures, and sometimes days later. Take care, All.

LISA  Tim's gone alone several times but they had planned to rent a pontoon boat and fish... :(

KAREN    I remember my niece letting her 2 girls pick out their clothes each day - even to school - matching or not from little on.  LOLOL

LANI    My heart just aches for dear Otis.       I used our left over salmon the other day and mixed with mayo, mustard, celery, tomato pieces etc and wrapped some in several huge romaine lettuce pieces.  That was tasty. ;D   Tim loved it.  ;)

LORI   Apple cinnamon cake - Looks really yummy!

BAZI   Barb and Tom live about a mile from us.  ;D   The twins have never been far apart except for Tom's trip to Vietnam and when they each went to different colleges.

Got that walk in much earlier this morning and was actually cold with my very summer like attire on.
Warming up into next week as is the rest of the middle of the Nation..

Been watching the cone of the hurricane....Ryan Hall and Reed etc...my cousin last night thought most of the rain would be heavier this morning till 5pm...I see the rain bands have taken a more westerly path than she originally thought so I'll check in with her this evening.

TSK, somehow I had lost sight of how close Barb and Tom are to you and Tim. Nice to have them so near! Your leftovver salmon dish sounds so yummy! - right down my alley!  :D  Ditto what you said about Otis.  :-* :-* :-* It's hard for me to watch sometimes, knowing the struggles he has in those conditions and with his advanced age. Of course it's true of all, but seems harder with the ones we get to watch more and know better. (((OTIS))) I wish him successful salmon fishing and comfortable rests in his days ahead.

KB and PHYL, I hope all your family and friends in the impact areas from Hilary will be safe and not get property damage. I need to tune in to hear the latest update. The track does wiggle left and right some, and that can sometimes make a big difference in exactly who gets how much wind, rain, and flooding. Hoping for the best possible outcome from a dangerous storm.

Hi LORI! I can taste that coffee cake!  ;D It's right in my face!! LOLOL!  Mmmm...

Well here in Orange County, CA we have survived the first 13.5 hours of tropical storm Hillary. It has rained steadily for most of the day with only a couple short breaks. It’s odd for us to to have temps in the 70’s and this much rain. I keep thinking I should put on a sweater, but that would be crazy. It’s usually colder (by our standards anyway) and it’s just strange.  Our back yard has more water than I’d like but mostly due to the lack of gutters because of the construction of a covered patio cover we did earlier in the year and the house needs to be painted before the new gutters go up.

I’ve been surprised that we’ve not had as heavy rain as I thought we would. It’s been consistently steady. Still it’s a lot for us.  A bit of wind, but not what I expected so far. The good news is that it should held moisten the grasses  that grew profusely from all the rain we had in the winter and spring. It should help with lowering the fire danger levels locally. For those of you familiar with SoCal, I’m sure you understand.

The rain is expected through the night, ending about 5:00 a.m. 

Sweet dreams to all.

Morning all...a reddish sunrise this morning...bringing in heat all week.

Good news is that my cousin in Jamul and her horses are fine...she lives on a hill on the western flank of the Cleveland National Forest. We communicated throughout the day and evening.
I am aware of all the flooding areas elsewhere though...
Hope you are fine in AZ, Lani...

Good Morning Beakers

A bit of relief in the heat today' s forecast - yesterday had a high of 89, but the dew point was 79 - today will get to 92 but dew point of only 71 and the forecast shows only 2 days over 100 with Wed and Thurs at 102.  Yesterday's forecast had us with 4 days over 100.

I was monitoring the rainfall in California last night - the Bakersfield to Lone Pine area appeared to have the most rainfall for the day, with most stations reporting 5 to 8 inches.  This same area also got upto 2.5 inches Sat. night.

OLDGUY    We will be getting your heat Wed and Thurs here.  :o 8)   Claire and her cats - a full time job!  Day in the Life of a Cat  :D  So many good links - Will save longer ones for lunch  :D

One of my butterflies that hatched this AM must have fallen off her cocoon as I found her at the bottom of the cage still with "bent" wings unfilled.  Managed to get her outside on my impatiens pot.  A few minutes later she was hanging upside down trying to get her wings filled.  Half hour or so later she was sitting on the top of the plant and I encouraged her to open her wings..  It's been about 1 1/2 hours and she is still sitting there but the tips of her wings are bent.   :(  Will check later.

This gorgeous bull has shedded its velvet which is the fuzzy growing layer that covers their antlers from spring until…about this time of the year.
The elk’s antlers are more brittle during this growth time.  Once the velvet stops growing, the elk start to rub it off using branches and tree trunks. 
The antlers will harden completely in time for the breeding season (mid Sept to October), well-polished and ready to fight.

We are starting to see more bulls out and about, and hear their calls early in the morning.

Oldguy, thanks for links. I'll spend time now listening. Have a good day.  :)

Tsk, okay, I'll have a nice toasted bagel with cream cheese.  ;D ... Has Tim left for his trip? .. oh tsk, I pray the butterfly will rally.  :(

Lisa, have a good day  :)

Tig, a nice cool morning for you. I hope the temps stay that way.

Kb, good news about your cousin/horses. I pray all will be safe .... red sky in morning, sailor take warning.  ;) ... we fine. It rained during the night and its been sprinkling, and the goldies have returned to our finch feeder. The hummingbirds are busy sword fighting over their feeder and bugs flying about.  ;D

Phyl, thanks for sharing the delicious french toast recipe.... goodness, they need rain over the South African lands. Prayers for rain.  🙏 

{{{Clynn}}}, sweet Kelsey is ready to open her heart to a new member for her family. I know after having many cats and dogs in our home it can take some time, though I always seem to lose my heart to a critter in need. I know how much you loved your Seal Point cats, so I checked  Seal Point cat rescues in Iowa, there seems to be quite a few available. Maybe there's a female that might catch your heart and Harley would not feel threatened by. You know opposites attract  ;D ... great pic of HD/DH2 dads and their girls.  :-* .. I'm going to buy a Maui Strong top, thanks for posting the link... Have a great day with the munchkins!  ;D :-*

Lori - Lovely & yummy birthday treat for Ginger yesterday!

Baz - My son in Orange County said they had some heavy rain and wind, but it has subsided.  He said that where he lives, there was no damage or flooding.  As for us on the central coast, we did not get any rain, but it was very gray and cloudy. 

Tsk - Awe, that is sad how Tim & his bro were going to rent a pontoon and do some fishing - hopefully they can plan to do that sometime in the near future.   Hope Tim still has a good trip. :)

Weasel - Yes, my son who lives in Orange County gave me a similar report as to what you have just explained.  Thank you for the good info.

I have to cut this short, I need to head out to a medical appt.  BBL

There are very few basements in Southern California.  Our house was built in 1979 and it is the standard California home stucco on concrete slab.  The slabs now are heavily reinforced and tied into the structure.  This is to help limit earthquake damage.  Many older homes were not attached to the slab and can "slide" off during a quake.

Good Morning Beakers!

Good day with the Munchkins! They both had their 'Meet the Teachers Night' at school last evening!

Lani, I looked up Siamese cat rescue (Seal Point is a coloring of Siamese cats) and there aren't any in Iowa, then I searched for Siamese cats for adoption and a lot of cats were labeled as Siamese but were not!  Max and Emma (my beloved Seal Point and Chocolate Point littermates) were from a small hometown breeder about 30 miles from here, Ed was searching the newspaper for Siamese and came across them. No computer back then in 2000! Very interesting about the elk and their antlers, always love hearing about your spotting of them in the woods! Sword fighting hummingbirds, a very good description! They are very territorial at the feeders, as are a lot of birds!

BL, oh my! Glad you were only rattled!

E4E, yes, a good day with the Munchkins! Bella loves washing those tomatoes! That is what she was doing at the sink!

Phyl, I noticed the little ditty song in your post but it didn't earworm me! I do get earworms often, and often songs I don't know all the words to so the song gets stuck over and over at the same spot. That was a wonderful Publix commercial...  Thanks for the French Toast recipe, it sounds yummy!

tsk, I am betting your butterfly recovered and flew !  I cannot see you in ruffles either, but you might have had some when you were a baby!

Lori, what a beautiful cake for Lani & Mike!

oldguy, what a mess in Palm Springs, I cannot imagine getting all of that mud! Will watch the rest of the videos later this morning, thanks for all the entertainment you give us!

                families. I couldn't help it... I cried at the end when she finally calls him 'Dad".
              LOL  I get earworms ,too. Frequently... And, I love feeding them, too! LOL

Phyl - Yep, that saying on your sign in the morning greeting is an earworm.  Sheldon, on The Big bang Theory use to sing it all the time.  ;D  Thanks for the links on Hawaii.

E4E - Glad to hear that your appointment went well.

BrokenLug - Yikes!

Lori - Yes, please....I will have a piece of that cke for Lani & Mike.  :D

kb - Adorable pic of Ollie.

clynn - I made BLT's for dinner last night.  We had not had bacon in so long, we both said, OMG this is so salty.  ;D  Cute pic of the munchkins.  Hope they had a great night at Meet the Teacher Night.

tsk - Yummy looking breakfast in your greeting.  Aww, sorry to hear that Tim left his duffle at home. 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Lani & Mike!!

{{{Lisa, Eagles}}} Thank you  :-*

{{{Tig}}}  :-*

Tsk, oh no! What's Tim going to do without his duffle bag? I have a checklist for Mike too, especially when he leaves on long trips. He's leaving for a 9 day working trip to Texas tomorrow night. They are moving their Austin plant south towards Houston. Deadline is Sept 1st. He's been on the phone/laptop constantly in preparation for this move.... I'll be glad when it's done. He's been grumpy for a few days. I hope Tim can enjoy his trip inspite of a couple of glitches. How is Tom?

Phyl, thank you for anniversary wishes.   ;D. Thank you for posting about Hawaii statehood. I will always remember the endless days of fireworks and celebration! Though now as an adult I can look back at what lead to our statehood, and understand the pros and cons against it. The anger expressed at the overthrow of our last Queen. Even now, after Lahaina fires I'm not happy about learning that Larry Ellison owns 98% of Lanai, 98% of Lanai!!! Zuckerberg owns 1600 acres of Kauai and continues to buy more land from descendants, Oprah owns over 500 on the Lahaina side of Maui and looking for more, Bezos also owns 100+ acres on Maui and wants more... no words can express my anger and hurt at it all right now. So I keep my own counsel and will say no more.  EDITED: I should add the island of Niihau is privately owned by the Robinson family since the 1800s "Elizabeth McHutchison Sinclair (1800–1892) purchased Niʻihau and parts of Kauaʻi from Kamehameha V in 1864 for US$10,000 (equivalent to about $190,000 in 2022) in gold."     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niihau

Clynn, OOPS, I googled Seal Point cat rescue in Iowa! Sorry I didn't look up Siamese.  https://www.catsnow.com/sealpointiowa.htm. Thanks for correction.... The munchkins look great! #3 pic of sweet Miss Bella looks like her mom. Great heartwarming smile from Talon! I hope they both have a great school year.  :-* ... Turtle watch  :-* ..."yummy bacon sandwich!!"  that's what I'm making Mike for lunch today! ... thank you for anniversary wishes! It's been 53 years!

Kb, I love Ollie man's ears and he grew into them didn't he! Thank you for anniversary wishes ;D :-*

{{{Lori}}} Thank you for the Aloha and the Haupia cake with amaretto (my fab) has my mouth drooling with anticipation!  ;D :-* YUM YUM YUM!!!

Yah!....Andrew finished my ramp....laid down 15 large patio blocks under the wood..had 2 by 4's under it as well which he screwed the large painted plywood on top of...and then screwed some cross wood to grab on to when I haul up my lawn waste...only a touch up of paint for me to do....NOT for awhile..will add to my other painting touch ups most likely sometime in September as the rest of August will be hot and above average here.

It's a feels like 105 right now and it's not yet noon....

Needless to say, I'm indoors for the rest of the day..

LANI   Tim called at noon and said he had to find a tree - it was hailing!!!  Only in the 60's where he is and 90 here.  Really windy now up there.  No fishing for him today and he will be back tomorrow - Tonight is my Mini Blizzard night - LOL   Big project for Mike to move a plant.  Will his "replacement " he is training be with him?   Yes for any longer trip I would supervise Tim's packing.  I think he is still used to just driving up and having everything there  - when we used to own the condo.

BAZI  Her flight got in just fine .   I checked in with Barb today about Tom and after 2 days on the pneumonia meds he is a "bit" better.  She made him chicken soup today.  Tomorrow there should be a cure  ;) ;)  Correct - no clothes or any of his 8, I think, prescription drugs.  He'll be back tomorrow.

LISA  I've been so busy these 2 days they have gone really fast.  Got rid of more tomatoes at Bible study this afternoon  and yesterday brought some to the parish office staff.  Tonight is mini Snickers Blizzard night.  I will need to make sure I take out the garbage before he comes home tomorrow, so there is no sign of my indulgence  LOLOL     That pic of Sydney is hysterical - Will be a while before she grows into those giraffe slippers  LOLOL  Pretty colors in the afghan

Lani, awww, I didn't realize Mike was out of town...when he gets home you two can have a lovely late anniversary celebration!

E4E, I am hoping Sydney posts a 'First Day of School' picture of the Munchkins , she is good about doing that! Erin always loved to stand at the sink and wash dishes when he was Bella's age, that must be where Bella gets it!

karen, yes, I think that must have been tsk's butterfly that visited you!  And I agree with you on the climate, it is ultra hot almost everywhere! Except Door County, I looked at their temps and they are heavenly!

tig, hope your nasty headache is gone...

Phyl, here is Soft Kitty in three languages...  https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+soft+kitty+amy&docid=603534237603534424&mid=3CECF9527F23C5B5DA4D3CECF9527F23C5B5DA4D&view=detail&FORM=VIRE    LOLOL, Maggie drank Jim's shake! Wow, that Binturong is really playful, and big! I can see bear and cat in it! Will be a hot 101 here today. Will be glad when this heat spell is over!  Thanks for Robin's Blog, Our darling DH2 will be gone soon...

tsk, kind of scary, finding you have no clothes or meds, then getting hailed on! I bet Tim will be glad to be home! (except for the temps!) I am chuckling over the stashed Blizzard cup, LOLOL!  Glad to hear Tom is getting better...

Lisa, what a sweet picture of Sydney, she looks so cuddly! Three weeks will be over soon, hallelujah! Love the slippers, she is geting prettier every day!

HI EVERYONE

78 heading to 100.  Yuck

TIG   Finally you can get back to the pool.  Think that is just what you need. ;D

LISA    LOL  Like EAGLES I picked up a box of Suddenly Salad.  Will go with some salmon on sale at the grocery today along with 39 cent mangos  ;D

PHYL   Jim is wise to your tricks  ;) ;)  Thanks for Robin's report.      Binturong -what an unusual mammal.

CLYNN   Pink sunflowers - didn't know they existed.   Yes Tim said it is in the 60's up there.  Good thing his jacket was in the car.

tsk - Hide the evidence  ;D  Glad to hear Tom is feeling better, and oh my, Tim forgot his meds too!  Glad he is returning today.  WOW, $.39 for the mango!  I looked at the price of ours in the store the other day and they were $1.50 a piece!

karen - Thank you  :-*  I hope you and Piper are staying in the shade. 

kb - I hope you all are staying in the shade too, with those temps.

Phyl - Those slippers look like they will last till toddler days  ;D 

tig - Hope you are feeling better this morning.  Migraines are no fun.

E4E - I am gonna give the low sodium bacon a try.  I did try low sodium ham from the deli once, and did not like it.  Glad you found the Suddenly Salad.  Hope you like it.  :)  Thank you!  :-*

Lani - Thank you  :-*  Safe travels for Mike today, and glad that you and he will get out to dinner for your anniversary when he returns.

clynn - Thank you  :-*  Is today the first day of school for munchkins?  I can't wait to see pics.

Lisa, low sodium anything is kind of blah. So are most salt substitutes. I have been using Morton Lite Salt for years, that is all we have in the house and it is good. I can't remember if it took some getting used to or not... Blue Diamond Lower Salt Almonds (from Sam's) are excellent! Are you having extra hot weather in MD?

tsk, cute good morning pic! I have never seen pink sunflowers either, but they do exist! I am going to order a packet of the seeds for next year! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1282077326/pink-sunflower-seeds-helianthus-annuus?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_ps--home_and_living-power_seller&utm_custom1=_k_21dee169f0df188e97ee858ffb5f405f_k_&utm_content=bing_412385671_1298523531504915_81157784660933_pla-4584757335754326:pla-4584757335754326_c__1282077326&utm_custom2=412385671&msclkid=21dee169f0df188e97ee858ffb5f405f

Lani - Yesterday was also my Aunt & Uncle's anniversary of 42 years!  Have a nice dinner celebrating your anniversary after Mike is home; 53 years!! ;D   Pretty 'nite' pic  :)

Phyl - Lol! Love what you told Tsk about Jim's Micky D choc shake!  Loved reading about Robin's trip to Decorah -thank you so much for posting, and thank you Robin for sharing your photos in Amy's blog. :) ;D

Clynn - Yes I bet Bella gets her love of standing at the sink washing tomatoes and other stuff from Erin - you have probably always made that a fun thing to do!! ;D   Is today the first day of school?  Okay - just saw the fantastic pics of the Munchkins!!!

Tsk - Salmon sure sounds good!  Will Tim be back today?  I think he forgot his duffle bag as he was thrown off track since his bro wasn't able to make the trip. :(   Hope Tom is feeling better each day.

Kb - Very hot temps for you - saw the weather report by Al on the Today Show.  Our son has been living in Texas since last Dec, and he has been baking in that State! ::)

oldguy, record breaking heat in Des Moines yesterday, per the Des Moines Register. Record was from 1936. May break a record today too! Windows fogged here too, and no forseeable rain.

The pool and hot tub felt great. I gave myself a mini pedicure when I got home.
Not to be corrective, but, I do not get pain: https://www.brighamandwomens.org/neurology/neuro-ophthalmology/visual-migraine#:~:text=Can%20I%20have%20a%20visual,means%20migraine%20symptoms%20without%20headache.d
The aura usually lasts about 20 minutes. Sometimes I feel off for an hour or so. The very first one I had was during class freshman year in college. I lost vision for a couple minutes but just sat still and faked it. Very scary.

Good Morning!   Forecasted to have hot, hot temps in the Southeast!  So, what else is new?   Keep the ac and the ceiling fans on!

Lisa, do not spread the word on your temps or you will have hordes of folks moving to the Eastern Shore, making your bridge traffic a holy mess!  Lol.  I have been eating low sodium Boars head ham from the deli for several yeats!  Love it!  On a lower sodium diet and drink 64 ounces of water a day.  Great hunger control and good for weight loss.  Labs  improved including cholesterol! The first time ever!  I have to say that as a former diet coke drinker and a sweet tea drinker, I am not a fan of water!

Tsk, as a kid, we went to northern wisconsin to escape the Chicago heat!  Many folks had summer homes there as did you and Tim!  Guess many still do!   Glad Tim is returning home to you and his meds!  Scary.  Cute morning eggs!

Eagles, Piper and I do not walk!  She goes out about 4 times a day and walks the perimeter of the fairly large back yard and around two beds in the middle of it at least 3 to 4 times each outing!  Occasionally she runs across it if she spots a squirrel! I, on the other hand sit in a chair on the patio and do chair exercises as prescribed by pt!  Lol!  I also drink  12 ounces of water 

frequently water a few potted plants!

Going to get busy!  Oh clynn, the kids are looking slightly more a like in these cute photos.  Love the lemur!

KAREN   Have you ever tried Hint water?  Flavored with watermelon, pineapple, lemon et.  I do not like straight water either.  This product helps.     You have a perfect routine for Piper. and you are also doing a routine at the same time.  ;D

Hi back to you E4E Always nice to see your friendly hello. . .

Well here's some breaking news - When I left the house about 10:45 it was 96.  Got back in time to see we broke the record.  Was 97, now 98 (and no doubt still rising).  Of course the recorded temps are as measured at O'Hare.  Generally west of Chgo it is either colder here in the winter and warmer here in the summer.   

tsk follows a whole different pattern, mostly because she's closer to the lake and further north.  I can't speak for her.  She's special!   :-*  That's why we always break into postings to compare me and her.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Excessive heat in lots of places in the country - ick! Stay safe, All who are experiencing it.

CLYNN, love the Munchkins in their 1st day of school pics! Cute!  LOL on the cow wash.  ;D  Did anyone ever re-create your car's wonky liftback opening? Maybe you should offer to take one of the service techs or reps for a demo ride! Sheese!

TSK, glad Tim is back safe and sound, and hopefully no hail dents on his head! I've been watching the stormy weather blowing through MI. Glad Tom is a "bit" better and hope his recovery rate zooms!  Are you putting the salmon in the Suddenly Salad?

LANI, I love those cute pics of Manaaki and UQ chicks together! So funny!  :-*

E4E, are you going to dress up your Suddenly Salad with anything extra?

PHYL, hope you didn't have a telltale chocolate milk mustache!  ;) ;D

KB, I've seen the excessive heat warnings for the horribly high and record-breaking temps that cover so much of the midwest, from the southern end to the northern end of it - a big swath running from Texas up to Minnesota. Ugh! My sister, and a close friend of hers, who grew up and has family in Minneapolis, are in Minneapolis now. The excessive heat is putting a crimp in some of their outdoor plans.

OLDGUY and PUFF, stay indoors in the cool!

TIG, glad you're enjoying the hot tub time.

KAREN, congrats on your good lab reports, and improving cholesterol!! Has Piper "collected" any other things from your tabletops the last couple of days? LOL.

LORI, I know you're in the excessive heat zone, too. I hope you and Destini stay cool!

LISA, that was just the cutest picture of Sydney in the giraffe booties and afghan!  :-* :-*  I do very low, or no, salt everything now. I didn't like it when I first started, but it's amazing how quickly my tastebuds adjusted! I am a heavy user of no-salt herbs, spices, and some of the no-salt spice mixes now - for meats and veggies. It was an adjustment for the first few weeks I went that route, but I stuck with it, and now I prefer foods with extremely low, or no, salt.  My giant salty snack special treat is movie theatre microwave popcorn, though. LOL, I got on a kick of it this summer, and I am kicking that habit now. LOL!


I WANT A BLT!! AND A DQ BLIZZARD!! NOW!

But... I'm heading to the kitchen to sear a thick hunk of yellowtail tuna, and finish it medium rare in the cast iron pan on the stovetop. Going to have it with some fresh spinach, and more roasted yellow squash halves... and a "glash." Will probably splash some of that glash of white in the pan with the tuna to finish it. I'm hungry! So...

...Later, Gators!  :)

Yes exactly, baz...I haven't been outside for 2 days other than for absolute essentials.
It's not unlike a minus 20 degree day in the winter....hunker down.

Hey, Chicagoans....I mentioned my heat 2 days ago for you.....seems to me my weather inevitably hits your area a day or two later.

No, Ollie you can't even sit out front in the western sun......nope, you have shade in the back yard...he's not a happy camper..
Unbelievably, I saw a woman running her low to the ground black puppy this morning in front of my house. I wanted to scream at her.
Very few dog walkers though I'm happy to report.

A slow cool down coming.....will have to pick back up the watering once again as no rain in the forecast. Sad as with a few drops/inch or so of rain plus sprinkling we got some very green grass....now it's fried again.

OLDGUY   Just had the weather on TV  98 degrees now air temp.  Index  110-115.   

PUFF   Think we are both on the same page today.  One or two degrees either way will not change how oppressive it is outside.  I'm just praising God the A/C is still running  :o

BAZI   Thanks for bringing to mind CLYNN's lift back issue - I forgot about that.    No I am going to bake the salmon with EVOO, seasoned lemon pepper,  and thinly sliced lemon on top - 400 for about 15-20 min.  Tim likes it that way.  Sale on the 6 oz salmon pieces at the grocery butcher for $3.99 each vs $6.00.   Should go good with the Suddenly Salad and some fast fried asparagus.   For now you are living vicariously through us on the BLTs/DQs  LOL     I haven't salted anything in eons. - If I eat some chips - way too salty.   Restaurant soup is often way too salty for me.  Yes your palate changes.

KB   Yes if the weather pattern doesn't come from you, it comes from Iowa.  Both in the same amount of days usually.

Your suppers sound yummy, to me.
We will be having soft shell flour tacos with pulled chicken and the usual fixings.
Concrete guy didn't make it yesterday. He was here a few times today and will return tomorrow. Only so much he can do in this weather.

Tig - Your tacos sound yummy.

Tsk - You know I am not a fish eater, but I will cook it for Jeff.  I like the sound of the way you make your salmon, may have to try that for him.  Hope you like the Suddenly Salad. 

Baz - Thank you  :-*  I am a sucker for any popcorn.  At the moment, I am on a bag of sweet & salty kettle corn. 

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update.  Mom is doing much better.  She is still testing positive, but doctor told her on Monday that was ok, as some people can test positive for weeks and months after having it. 

Clynn - I have never heard of those spices.

E4E - Jeff’s work is now allowing the to telework two days a week.  He does Thur and Friday.  There is a rumor going around that it might be three.

Kb and all with the very hot temps….stay cool..thinking of you!

Have a good night, everyone 😊

Currently 95F feeling like 111F  . Hot and humid at 47% out here in the more open spaces of Cane Ridge.

Tsk- the broken eggs  in shock--- ;D ;  Jim  ;D; Tom sitll improving?   ;) Tim's home safe.

Lisa- congrats on the weather; won't be long till video time w/ Sydney  :)  I use a salt substitute have for decades. Best I 've found is called 'No  Salt' it's potassium chloride and not sodium chloride (table salt)

Tig- good news no pain

KB-try to keep cool ---just keep the sheets on

E4E- what a nice cheerful cup!  And Congratulations to aunt/uncle on 42nd wedding anniversary---much happiness always.

TIG    Our mail gal had our mail here before 11 AM today - Usually we're mid to late afternoon.  Hopefully she only worked half her route today and other half tomorrow - would not blame her nor be disappointed in not getting mail.

LISA   Loved the Suddenly Salad as did Tim altho I did not tell him how it was made  LOL  So many things you can do with it.   I'll keep a box or two on hand for a quick meal.  I never take the time to walk up and down aisles at the grocery - I'm in and out so subsequently miss out on items like this.   I really wish I would take the time to pop real popcorn in my popper - It's the best BUT I don't like the clean-up  LOL

PHYL   Tim home by noon and by 2 was sound asleep in his recliner.  Long trip and is exhausting.  He's back on track with his pills  :)  His bro is doing much better now that Barb is home. ::) ::)

So what did Lulu do while Tim was away??   She slept by my legs ALL NIGHT.  No playing until 5:30   LOLOL

jilltosa, I love Penzey's, I have a lot of their spices! We finally got a store here around 2017 and sadly it closed during covid. I loved shopping in their store! This heat is suffocating, the weather in WI is usually very nice! We are heading for 100 again today...

Phyl, another beautiful sunrise on the Flyway!  Great Amy's Blog, that is quite a plethora of pelicans! Interesting sub-adult with a missing foot, I hope he does well!  Love the Good Morning cow on the 'throne'! Hope Jim gets better quickly! I remember some of those pre-A/C things my Grandmother did!

Lani, Mike heading for Texas? That's a new destination isn't it? Is he training folks there?  Gee, I'm nosey... I noticed the same thing tsk did about the albatross youngsters, it was like they had planned a performance! Loved it! Autumn is my favorite too, just around the corner!

BL, 57 would be heaven, can't wait for fall...yes, jeans, socks, hoodies...for me.

tsk, awww, Tim sound asleep almost as soon as he hits home... Just like his brother, Tim is safe home with you and Tom is getting better now that Barb is home...  We would never go grocery shopping together, I like to go down every aisle so I don't miss anything...  ::) Penzey's HQ: 12001 W.

CLYNN & TSK Did you know "wauwatosa" means firefly? This summer there have been many fewer than in the past. Yesterday's 101 degrees was a record. It was being mentioned that since they began record-keeping in the late 1800's that we have only reached 100 degrees about 30 times! It was not pleasant! (AND I do not have a/c.)

jilltosa, that is very interesting! Definitely a Native American name! I haven't seen many fireflys either. Sad. Also alarming, I haven't been seeing many birds at my bird feeders, and haven't seen a squirrel in weeks! My sister lives in Oregon, many don't have A/C there either, but the climate is changing. They have had many more HOT days in recent years. This heat is very oppressive.

Hearing aids are fixed and I will pick them up this afternoon.   Perfect dog chewed the right part!

CLYNN   Big stick  - wonder how Iris will decorate with it.  Kind of like buying a piece of furniture for home and not measuring first to see if it will fit  LOL   Like Karen I'm wondering how the first day of school went for the kids.

Morning 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, glad your hearing aids will be ready today. {{{Piper}}}  ;D

{{{Jilltosa}}} I know you're keeping cool somehow.... Take care  :-*

Clynn, Mike built the Austin plant about 8 years ago or more. Remember when he fell outside his car a year and a half ago, he was driving to his plant in Texas? Well, now he's moving the plant to Houston. A large company bought the land where the Austin plant is sitting and now it needs to be moved. He's been given two weeks to do this, Sept 1st is deadline. It'll be done. Nothing to do with training. He has a well trained staff and they will move to Houston too.... Also, he's organizing a possible move of the Reserve/La Place, Louisiana plant to West Monroe soon. They're in the process of buying land in West Monroe and will go from there. Busy, busy for someone who will be 80 in November... {{{Iris and Keebler}}}... I have no words for the idiot on the ladder! I'd have my cell phone handy, but no popcorn, I'm afraid I would choke if I did see him fall. And what good is that if I can't call 911.  :-\

Lisa, Good to hear your mom is getting stronger and up. Boy, this really hit her didn't it. Being exhausted from her trip probably added to it. Prayers for her continued healing 🙏 ..... Mike had a non-stop flight to Austin, picked up a rental car and called me around midnight central time and let me know he was checked into Hilton. I love the Suddenly Salad Classic Pasta. I add chunks of summer sausage, heirloom cherry tomato, greek or black/green pimento stuffed olives, chop red onion, celery, more olive oil and italian seasoning to the mix.

Tsk, I hope Tim had a good night's sleep. I'm sure these past three days wasn't relaxing for him. Mike settled into his hotel about midnight central time. I could tell he was tired, though he said he was fine...  I feel guilty saying it's a lovely cool morning, high will be 81, humidity 51% it's suppose to rain. Take care  :)

Phyl, I'm sorry Jim is ill, I hope Jim feels better soon... thanks for RRP blog.... pretty sunrise at the Flyaway!

Just checking in - beautiful, downtown Darien just made triple digits.  Really ugly figure is the "feels like 139."  It says contributing to uncomfortable is 59 humidity.  I don't believe them.

Just 'membered -- I have to pick up a prescription.  Not bad, AC in car will be my friend.  But then when I get home I have to walk down to get the mail and the newspaper (I know, should have done that earlier, like 5AM.)  While I'm out I'll stop for chopped salad, Portillio.

They said a cold front (?) should start moving in about 3P or 4P.  Y'all have to remember I'm a Rocky Mountain girl.  I prefer snow over sweat - you can brush off flakes, smelly sweat just clings to the body all over head-to-toe, on skin, inside and on top clothes.  Runs down your face, neck, legs, boobs.  Yep my vote is for snow not sweat.  Also, I've never heard anyone brag  over  how pretty the sweat looks.  (We won't talk about how snow looks a couple days later.)

Hey tsk I've been meaning to ask if you saw/read the Trib on Tuesday with the article on the local monarch upswing.  The article started on the front page and then all of page 5.  Focused on a couple in Berwyn, pictures included.  Their yard is all grown over and filled with plantings.  They've become one of those people who have nary a blade of grass to be seen.  Some of the growth is taller than they are.  Not together like yours.

cloudy, overcast - warming to 80

Karen - Sounds like a good system that works out for you & Piper  :)    Hope they were able to 'fix' your hearing aides. :)

Lani - No we never got any more rain than just a few drops a few days ago and it was not enough to measure in the rain gauge.   Just read that Mike will be in Texas soon - too warm  ::)

Tsk - I bet Tim was so glad to get home!   Just read that Tom is doing better - and glad Barb is back home!  :)

Oldguy - Hope you are a little cooler today!

Baz - Not sure how I will make it 'my own' on the Suddenly Salad  ;)   Yumm! You had something good to eat yesterday!

Kb - Yeah - too hot for a walk!

LisaG - Sounds like a good working situation for Jeff  :)   Hope your Mom feels a lil better each day - but it does take a while!

Phyl - Thank you  :)    Awe, hope Jim feels better soon - lots of rest and hydration  :)

Hi Jilltosa!

Clynn - Oh my - that last picture you posted! :o ::)  Did the Munchkins have a good first day at school? ;D

Beakers have a nice Thursday and try to stay cool.

Well I lost another monarch today.  Emerged beautifully but like the other one must have fallen from his chrysalis where she hangs until wings are full pumped up.  I've never seen this happen before.  Placed her outdoors on my impatiens but her wings were all bent and non functional.

Had a gentleman from the garden club come today and cut 80 % of my milkweed pods and we put them in two kitchen garbage bags.  He will dry them and give them to others.  He is 80 and will run a half marathon in California soon with his son  ;D

Comcast guy just left after 90 minutes of switching out our archaic boxes for all the new technology - Cute kid - Loves cats and took a pic of Lulu before she took cover  LOL.  He has a ginger and a lighter orange mix with tabby.  I saw pics.  Sent him and garden club guy off with tomatoes and cukes and water. YAY

LANI  And Iris truly is balancing on 1 leg just to show us. :D    Mike has a lot of work ahead of him but good staff to help get it done.  That's a good recipe you created with the Suddenly Salad.  I jotted a few notes on that one. ;)   It is officially 100 now as I type but temps to "plummet" over night and be in the 70's tomorrow - Seems hard to believe.

PUFF   I don't get a newspaper but maybe I can find it on line in some form. Thanks for the heads up  - I'm interested.

Karen- I have seen reviews on that product, it is a very small swamp cooler.  Works ok in dry climate, such as the SW US. But not so much in high humidity, as it is just adding more water to the air. In the review, it dropped the temperature by about 10 degrees in a small room in Arizona

Lani - I am copying down your add-ins for the Suddenly Salad Classic Pasta, that sounds really good!  Glad to hear that Mike arrived safely in TX!  Beautiful pic of Iris. 

Puff - I am dying laughing over here at your description of sweat! 

E4E - Thank you, and you are right it does take a while to feel better. I hope your Mom & sis are feeling better.

tsk - Awww, so sorry to hear about another butterfly.  Do you think it might be the heat?

Old guy, are you talking bout the Honeywell Evaporative cooler?  Just curios as it is recommended, on line.
Ya gotta love Iris!   What a gal!  Suddenly salad with all the ad ins sounds great!  Add a few shrimp or chickem and call it dinner!

LISA   I thought about that but when it happened to the first one about a week or so ago I don't believe it was that warm.

KAREN   I agree about the shrimp added to a Suddenly Salad.  Lots of possibilities

tsk, sorry to hear you lost a monarch, it must be something to do with the heat! I am thinking in my mind that the first one managed to fly away...  :) How cool that someone is harvesting your milkweed for the seeds and is sharing them! Ed planted some of the seeds you sent me but I don't think he took very good care of them. This spring I will take care of the planting! aD the watering! I have sent Kelsey's job coach home with tomatoes twice this week! Took some over to the neighbor across the street too! Spread the wealth I say!

baz, hello there!

E4E, Talon and Bella both said they had a fun day at school! I know Talon likes it, he likes to learn things. I will try to get something more from Bella when they come over Sunday!

Puff, you reminded me of something a man I was babysitting for in Duluth, MN said. He loved the cold and said 'you can always put more clothes on but you can only take so much off'!

Lani, beautiful picture of Iris! Has T3 still been visiting? Now that you tell me, I do remember Mike going to Texas before, and falling. He's flying now, I do remember that!

Lisa, glad your Mom is feeling better! I remembered making Spaghetti Salad years ago, with McCormick's Salad Supreme seasoning. And I found that they still make Salad Supreme, so I got some. I am going to make it again, I hope it is as good as I remember it!  I leave the olives out, I don't like olives...  https://dearcrissy.com/spaghetti-salad/

karen, hooray on getting your hearing aids fixed!

jilltosa, I hope you were able to turn a fan on yourself today!  My Oregon sister was living in Portland, but moved to Corvallis last year. They call Eastern Oregon the dessert! I read something about Eastern Oregon (east of the Cascades) wanting to become a part of Oregon because their politics align more with Idaho.

The one I saw advertized and displayed at Walmart is this unit...
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arctic-Air-Pure-Chill-2-0-Personal-Evaporative-Air-Cooler-120-volts/525608766?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=1721&adid=22222222277525608766_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-294505072980&wl5=9018505&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=525608766&wl13=1721&veh=sem_LIA&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_5unBhCMARIsACZyzS0KOquIALeHwB53Dcrty1BshC1b5wJa3OFDE_hDZnXEaNPtxAyv4poaAmrZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

An air conditioner removes moisture from the air as it cools it - an evaportive cooler adds moisture to the air - if you add too much water to the air, it will cause condensation to form inside.  About 70% humidity is the cut off for a swamp cooler to work without causing everything to get damp to the touch.  Using chilled water will make for cooler air out of the unit, but that will make the humidity to get worse.

The reviews on the Honeywell 500cfm said it took 27 qts of water in 1 day - that is a lot of water added to the air.  My biggest concern would be mold for us in the high humidity areas.

My first experience with a swamp cooler was in 1969 - I worked in a small town movie house - it used a BIG swamp cooler - outside it had a 4x4x6 ft. box of lava rock with a stream of water running on the rocks - inside (in the basement) was a large squirrel cage fan that moved the air in the building - fan was about 8 feet long and 4 ft diameter.  It ran slow enough that you could not hear it run, but blew enough air to keep the theater cool.  But it was a very damp air.

Tsk - Oh no, so sorry for another Monarch lost.  You always do everything right, but some are just not going to make it. :(   Yaay - good for the 80 year old fellow who will be running in a half marathon soon!   So nice of you to share some of your goodies with the Comcast guys! ;D

LisaG - Thank you - my Sis has done well since her Thyroid surgery in June - she healed nicely!

Clynn - Nice that you are sharing the wealth of your tomatoes - wish I were your neighbor - next year I will plan on planting my own tomatoes again (been spending $$ this season on tomatoes at the grocery store)! ;D   Glad that the Munchkins had a good first day at school! ;D   Love the Sydney Sea Eagle cam pic!

Lisa-cuppa java, nice and dark  ;) Where's the jam?; JIm appreciated the chicken alphabet soup

CLynn- nice greetings, I have alot of 'sayings'  and such on one of my Pinterest boards. I might share.  My parents  did some of those 'ways to keep cool' And, being on the desert when it was too hot and the A/C went out there were many nights and days  spent w/o covers in undies and days spent on the porch with a hand fan or at the drug store at the counter .  I'll do a search on Penzeys.  :-*   to Keebler the Lemur  Tks for Hellgate update. Some stick for Iris!    :o risky scaffolding!

Karen- so glad your hearing aids are fixed.  And, if Piper could speak English she'd say how happy she was too.  Arrrrgggg!  Gotta be kidd'n me !  Swamp coolers will make the arid desert humid! Blah! Best to keep the air moving with a fan and let the perspiration evaporate! From experience  :)

Lani-awww lovely Iris !  sounds like Mike has a good staff to help with the move. Hope all goes well. I do remember that spill he took last year

Puff-  :) so funny your description of 'sweat'

Hi E4E- :)   'dreamy'  'good night' greeting

CLynn nice memorial at  Lahaina; tks for sharing - Sandra Davies  Sydney Sea Eagle Cam  update/photos---cute little eaglets!

Oldguy, I have friends in Tucson who have swamp coolers.

Lisa, Eagles, Tsk, The Suddenly Salad Classic Pasta is a great base for an antipasto salad. You can mix what you like in it. I made that years ago for my MIL. Enjoy  :)

Tsk, sorry about your butterfly.... it's nice of you to share your milkweed pods and your veggies!  :) Just think of how many monarch butterflies will be soaring the skies next year.

Clynn, 3T hasn't been seen, but Louis was there again yesterday. Louis does not want to leave Iris and her nest alone. But, he doesn't bring her food or help with nest. He takes her fish. Glad to hear Talon and Bella had a good first day. I hope Bella is making lots of new friends.  :) .. I've forgotten about that spaghetti salad, made it years ago. {{{Lahaina}}} the Sea Eaglets look well fed and gorgeous!  :-*

Eagles, Mike has done the training at the 4 plants. He has a great woman manager at the Austin one.  :)

Phyl, Since that accident, no more long distance driving for Mike. I hope Jim is feeling better.

Good night!

Jim's Doc wouldn't give him an appt with out a CoVid test first.  Eventually, after checking a CVS and  Walgreens for in Home rapid test. He actually
talked to a person at Walgreen's who recommended  the little Kroger Clinic across the street. He went there and was tested at 'No Charge'.
The results are 'negative' and Jim has appt tomorrow at 8am. His chest sounds like a train wreck.  I still have a bag of KN95 masks. I handed him one
and told to wear it as Jim's not considerate and coughs, spews and sneezes into the air and onto anything. Because of his attitude I keep him isolated in a spare room with  lots of water, tissues and waste basket and the TV remote---if he wants--- until meal time.
Hopefully he'll have some Rx's  when he returns.    ;) :)

Lani, Louis...sigh. Sounds like Mike is on track to retire as planned! He must be a very, very good trainer, they are lucky to have him and they know it... Funny that the spaghetti salad something we made years ago (90s), I was surprised that the seasoning was still around! Sweet good night kitties. I picked up Honey's ashes and paw print today...

Phyl, oh, I remember sleeping in just undies when we were at Grandma & Grandpa's in So. Illinois in the summer, with a fan on us, all the windows open! I can't remember complaining about it! I don't think heat affects kids much, at least it didn't back then! Happy to hear that Jim is getting himself to the Dr. and that he tested negative!  What is with some men and going to the Dr? Ed is the same way... Pink sunrise on the Flyway! Ooh, those hornets! And that good morning doggie!

E4E, if you were my neighbor I would be happy to supply you with tomatoes! This is the first year Ed has had a good crop with plenty to share!

oldguy, I remember when we lived on base, near Phoenix, my Dad called that thing on the roof of our house a swamp cooler. That was back in the 60's, and I couldn't begin to tell you if it worked well! Kids don't care about such things!

Puff, yes, one could take all clothes off in the heat and still be hot and sweaty. And with an indecent exposure ticket! The only help would be a body of water and a bathing suit!

Somewhere in Montana...

Phyl - Pretty morning sky at Flyway.  Hope Jim feels better soon.

Lani - I am really going to make the Suddenly Salad the way you did.  That sounds so good!

E4E - Glad to hear that sis has done well since her surgery.  Mom still doing ok, since her surgery?

clynn - I make Spaghetti Salad too using the Salad Supreme.  Our stores don't sell it, but I did but it from Amazon.  Sydney kids are getting big!

Off to Annapolis to take something to Fed Ex for Jeff.  Be back later!

fun morning greetings today!  Will be a little over a hundred sometime this weekend!  No plans for outside work but will spend sometime out with Piper!  All of these pasta salads sound great!  Off to get another cuppa!  Phyl, has Jim seen the Doc?   Dang Louis!

Lisa, safe travels  :)

{{{Tig}}} have a good day  :)

{{{Tsk}}} good luck with your appt.  :-*

{{{Clynn, Ed, Harley and Kelsey}}} .... {{{Honey}}}  :-*.  Love the gathering of the elk and Hobbit-like nook. I would love that, and so would the cats  ;D ....  Mike has given notice he will retire in two years, he'll be 82. Hopefully he will earn a good retirement package. We'll see.

Phyl, pretty at Flyaway this early morning!... prayers for Jim's healing... I confess, I don't like to visit doctors, my annual visit is as much as I can stand... interesting about the yellow-legged hornet.

I'm going to do a lot of extra cleaning, fire-wising, and organizing while Mike's away.
Also, next door neighbor asked me to take care of her vegetable garden while they're on
vacation in Canada. They doing that train trip that runs through Canada. That should be fun.
Have a good day!  :)

Yesterday was a repeat of Tue for temp and dewpoints and feel like temps - today has a little bit of releaf, only 74 for dew point instead of 84 and there is now a chance of rain - not much, but some.  High of only 94 (still too high for me) and feel like of 103.

TGIF, BEAKERS!  :)

I confess, I'm not really feeling it today,  :-\   but I will "fake it till I make it!"  8)

(((CLYNN + HARLEY + HONEY))) "Hatchback" is still in my lexicon! But my language memory center was tilting slightly the other day, so I said "liftback" when I couldn't locate "hatchback" right at that moment. I hope your screen part is in and you have your car back soon, and then maybe you can work on that hatchback issue some more.

TSK, awww, I'm sorry that Monarch didn't make it.  :'(   :-*  Nice to spread the milkweed seed pods to others!  It's hard to believe it's already 6 months since your back surgery! Looking back on all that, would you say you are back to the same level of mobility and comfort as before the problem developed? I hope Tom's pneumonia is on the way out.

KAREN, LOL on P.D. chewing on just the right part of the hearing aids! Do you have them back yet? Are they working just like new again?

LANI, gotta love that peek-a-boo cam shot of Manaaki! So cute! :-*   Iris and her giant pole-vault stick!!  IRIS STRONG!!!  :-* :-*



((Sending healing wishes to all the BEAKER FAMILY who are not feeling up to snuff.))


My neighbor had to go back to the hospital this past Sunday. She came home late Wednesday, and is doing better, but still recuperating, so I picked up and delivered her grocery list to her yesterday morning. Glad she doesn't need antibiotics now - the infection she had is gone. There may be an issue in her back causing the leg and foot numbness, which has improved, and her docs have done more testing and are looking further into that, but meanwhile, she will start in-home rehab to try to improve her walking ability some. It seems like a 2-steps forward, 1-step back kind of thing. I know she's frustrated, but she sounds like she's trying to wear a positive outlook. That helps.


CLYNN, Zippo would love to hang out on that twisty-turny branched stand with all the colorful hanging doo-dads, but they would all get pooped on!  8)   Re. the "knothole" room you posted... I would move in there in a heartbeat. Let's look at it again!  :)

Just need to thank BL - for his recommendation of lemon drops for my parotid gland swelling.
Also, confirmed by my internist yesterday in our zoom meeting.

Lemon drops are acidic which is what is needed to reduce swelling in the gland and/or even dislodge a stone that might be in the duct.
I am 80-90 percent better.....Doc said no other treatment for this condition...However, chronically sucking on lemon drops might be too sugary!....LOL....

An extremely painful condition....and for me at least is totally related to my having Sjogrens syndrome.
Haven't had this since 6 years ago and on the other side.

Crossing my fingers another 6 years will go by at least before another "attack"

Thanks again, BL

LANI   Manaaki  " I'm coming in for my close-up.  Get ready"  ;D  Good to hear Mike has made it official.  :)   I have often thought about doing that Trans Canada train trip.  Wonder if PUFF has done it.

OLDGUY   We are in the high 70's- cloudy which helps  DP 69 and humidity 67.  Much more tolerable today.  Got 1/3 of my milkweed cut down.  Thanks for the Banyan tree piece.   That silly Maru.  Q kids do have somewhat of a zoo... ;) ;)

BAZI  99% back and don't have to see him til a year has passed.  I can no longer touch my toes and long sitting is still not comfortable. Gardening has to get done in many shorter time spans.    Left leg strength is much stronger ( still a bit of a foot slap if I walk fast) and doc says my bone healing is complete.  All is good and for all practical purposes I'm back to normal.  I'm blessed.   Hope you feel better..Maybe just a funky day.
You are so good to your neighbor.  About how old is she?  Does she have family?    Hope you didn't forget the bacon at the store  LOL

KB   Great that BL's remedy was helpful  :D

CLYNN  Did you want me to send you more milkweed seeds??  Maybe just throw them in the ground and ignore them... ;) ;)

Would anyone else like some milkweed seeds?

((KB)) glad you are somewhat better

I got home from the pool and went out to further prune the grape. Luckily I decided to come in after an hour. As I locked the garage I realized I had pushed too much. I made it inside and recovered. I guess the humidity got to me.

Gotta go set the sprinkler on the sidewalk.

CHISAGO COUNTY SHERIFF: Earlier this month, we received a call in Rushseba Township of a bear cub laying in someone’s driveway, appearing to be injured or sick. Deputy Finnegan found the cub in rough shape, appearing gaunt and probably separated from its mother for several days…
Deputy Finnegan contacted the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville to arrange care for it. If emergency care is successful it will be transferred to Garrison, MN for further rehabilitation before being released on its own.

Royal Albatross Chick Practices Hovering Under A Rainbow | DOC | Cornell Lab
Manaaki is putting his wings to work! As a rainbow arches over the headland, the young Northern Royal Albatross takes advantage of the strong winds to practice flapping and hovering. He's still a bit clumsy, but only a few weeks remain until Manaaki will be ready to fly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUuzW_Z3_5w

kb, pretty good advice from a fellow Beaker!

baz, I guess 'hatchback' is an old school word these days. The guy wrote liftback down despite what I called it...LOLOL! I got Honey's ashes yesterday and a plaster piece with her name and paw print on it. Tears again....

oldguy, I hope they can save the banyon tree. I watched another video that was on the side, a good drone view, so many places where one building is fine, with green grass, and then a whole section burned literally to the ground, and then some with just the roofs gone. I just cannot imagine cleaning it up...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_sjw5ex9z8

Lisa, you have crossed that bridge twice today!

tig, so how was the 'new' pool area?  Is your weather cooling off for tomorrow? We are supposed to have 83! 95 right now. Walkthrough the sprinkler!

tsk, I would love to have some more milkweed seeds! Good report from the Dr.! I do hope it continues to work itself back to normal (your back)!

 TSKJust shown new routes being opened.  Saw a presentation last year, Rocky Mountaineer.  This here mountain lady was all set to pack my bags at the end of the night.  West coast of Canada the prettiest, very scenic and awe inspiring.  Driving it means one in the car is cheated from too many of the sights.  Only problem, even with US rails, is the high step up into the cars.  ADA adherance not as available, if at all, up north.  What's nice are routes with off/on stays if available.   

Banana Split Day!  This one sounds tempting to me.

KB Sorry the nice day didn't show up as promised.  Ours was nice here.  Made it to 83, only 69% humid. Rain front is threatening tomorrow, 70's.

What happened to outsourcing to Israel ,an ally?  Anyway, Doc called this PM and said no pneumonia...But there's 'junk' in his lungs and a chest cold.
Taking two meds...one is  Methylprednisolone (made in China) the  other an antibiotic . Jim plans on going back to work this Monday and mowing the lawns---our's and Sadia's are so overgrown.   Yikes!

TSK, yeah, just a minor passing "funk." Yay for you being 99%, and you can say "so long" to that doc till next year!!  :D  So, you can cut your milkweed way down, and it comes back with new shoots in the same place next spring? It grows wild, as a native plant, around the edge of some of the tree/shrub line where I live, but I don't really know anything about it except that it's great for pollinators, and Monarchs, especially. My neighbor is around 75, if I recall, and she has very attentive family in town - her highly capable and caring son, who makes sure she gets what she needs, and more, and his wife, who is a N.P. So she's well-looked after, luckily for her.

CLYNN, I don't think of "hatchback" as an old-school word at all. And, apparently, neither does "Car and Driver," because they published this slick feature article this year about the best new hatchbacks - all model 2023 and 2024 cars. That's not old-school, LOL!
https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g26594907/best-hatchbacks/

PHYL, those banana ducks are hilarious! Glad Jim got to the doc and got meds so he can get better faster.

LORI, you're killing me!  ;) ;D  Those Banana Split Day treats all look divine! Did Destini get hers?  :D

KAREN, heads up on Invest 93L!  It's going to make it's move into the Gulf of Mexico near Florida in the next couple of days, coming from down around the western Carribean/Yucatan Peninsula way, and who knows what all it will or won't turn into, or where it will or won't end up tracking for real, but right now, you and I are in its potential track - hopefully just as a very heavy rain event, but maybe wind, too, and you know... those tropical system associated sudden spin-up tornadoes are not just for fun either, so just a heads-up to stay tuned, and be prepared.



My 2-item grocery store run turned into a ditch 1 item and add 2 other items run.  ;D  And it changed my planned dinner into a chicken fajita stir-fry, with loads of extra fresh veggies added (broc, red and green bell pepp, onion, sugar snaps, zuch, mushrooms), with a small sesame oil seaweed salad first. Glash of sauvignon blanc, and I splashed some of it to sizzle in the pan at the end of the stir-fry. I love that PSH! sound it makes!  LOL.


G'night, All. Peace. SED.

Phyl, good cat pics, zillion dollar bill...LOLOL! M..E..O..W, love it! Cats are Devine and it shows... Our 100+ spell has broken, 84 today 81 tomorrow...

BL, thanks for the explanation of Sally years, makes sense now! Curtis Loew...Ultimate Guitar!

Lani, you have a good bit of time to get all those little things done while Mike is gone! Good to keep busy while he is gone. To tell the truth, I wish Ed would have to go somewhere for a couple of weeks so I could clean his Man Cave and get a lot of other things done...

baz, you're right, 'hatchback' isn't out! From what I read the two terms are pretty much interchangeable, the main difference being that the 'back door' on a SUV tends to be wider and angles more straight down instead of at an angle like the usual hatchback.. The guy at the Ford body shop recognized the issue immediately, he has seen it many times. The door lifts need to be replaced, one of them has failed and eventually it won't open or close. Anyway, the body shop estimated the cost to repair is almost $1000. I do have the Ford Extended Warranty so he is checking on that. I don't know why it wouldn't be covered, but it has to be repaired regardless! My warranty expires 8/31!

tig, good views of your sidewalk, better view of Camper being the photog!  LOLOL!

karen, glad you got some needed rain! We could use some!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

71 heading to 76  DP 68  humidity 89%  - cloudy

PHYL  Good that Jim has just a "regular" cold.  You just never know these days.  Some one got creative with bananas  :) ;)

BAZI  New shoots come off of runners underground which is why once you have it  - you have it.  However it will also spread by seed when the pods open and the seeds are whisked away on that fluffy while "silky" material.  This is why I cut it down before the pods open as I don't want seeds to spread it.  The monarch has to have milkweed to survive.   Thanks for the update on your neighbors family.  They are blessed to have you to help out.   You are so good about getting lots of veggies in your diet.  How is it going with the new frig search??

TIG   All shiny and brand new  ;D   You caught Camper taking some special shots  LOL

KB   Those Ollie man ears are amazing.

CLYNN   Lots of crazy cute cats this AM.  Sure sounds like the hatch door should be covered - It is a safety issue as well.   " I'll be watching you" ;D ;D ;D

karen - Glad you had a nice thunder-boomer last night.  We need a lil rain, too.

oldguy - Awww, Bellamy's hair dye looks cute. 

Lani - Love your good night pic of the dandelions.

BL - Thanks for the tunes.

kb - Aww, cute pic of Ollie for National Dog Day.

clynn - Every breathe you take....lol  I hope you get your extended warranty repair approved before 8/31.  I feel like it took forever too for them to approve my AC on the extended warranty.

Piper said every day is dog day! She is sorry the cats only get Saturday!

Baz. I do not see anything in my local forecast on the ts yet. We should have rain Tue and .wed but not from a ts.

Swfl should be turning
the cams back on soon! I will be interested to see if f23 is as bossy as Harriet was!

Last 3 monarchs  2 male and 1 female - were released today and sent packing to Mexico .

Final numbers are in   46 total releases ( previous releases were 30 and 26)  22 males and 24 females.  But as you know 2 of the releases did not make it.  So all equipment has been cleaned and boxed til next year  ;D

CLYNN   Harley is a beautiful cat.  :)  You have such a perfect place for those coleus.  Love the varieties you chose.   What an interesting concept for a city dwellers change of pace in the circular gardens.   LOLOL  One washcloth on the floor.  Lulu is so good at that.  My butterfly log is a little notebook when open about 3"x5".  While I was figuring my data this AM she came to help and sat smack dab on the entire 3x5  LOLOL

T40  Love the pics  " lunch"   ;D    Cat on the ice  ;D   Cat watching the horror movie is a classic and amazing how much movement the cat was tracking as if with understanding,  :o    Fascinating piece on air traffic  :o    Sign up that ball girl  LOLOL

Spent 3 plus hours in back yard mowing, weeding, watering...etc.

My work is compounded by the fact that my neighbor has only mowed her back yard one time so far this entire year....Midwesterners will know what I mean.

Such a lovely cooler day today....after working my butt off spent hours in my screened porch reading....
Heat builds back in in a few days so have to take advantage.

BTW my one bare limelight hydrangea has now bloomed a few blossoms!...just a late bloomer I guess.

Puff - I just read that about Bob on Facebook.   :(

tsk - Your butterflies did great this year!

Lani - Feel the Magic  ;D

karen - Very humid here today too, and I am so ready for Fall.  I went and did a lil shopping earlier bought me a Fall welcome garden stake, and some Fall colored lights for my mantle. LOL, Piper on every day is dog day.

T40 - Oh my...lunch!  Thanks for the videos.

clynn - Harley is a beautiful kitty.  Wow, your coleus plants are gorgeous. 

A pic of our girl today.  :D

It's Caturday!

Overcast/cloudy clearing and warming to 72 in the afternoon.

Please bear with me as I do some catching up - yesterday was a busy day that included me gone from here for a few hours to attend a celebration of life for a friend's adult child who passed away recently - it was so sad.

Phyl - Good that Jim's covid test was negative and now hopefully each day he will feel a little bit better & great that he does not have pneumonia!  Oh no, those yellow legged hornets - don't like that they prey on honey bees.

Clynn - Love those pics 'somewhere in Montana'!  Love the SWFL pic of M15 and female.  Cute Harley pics! ;D

Tsk - Hope all went well with your check up yesterday. :)   Just read your final numbers for your Monarchs this season- very amazing!!!   You really are wonderful with all you do for the Monarchs!!!

Oldguy - Love the Clark family's new additions; Judge & Jesco  ;D

Baz - Hope you & Zippo are feeling fine and hope your neighbor feels better.

Kb - Good to know that the lemon drop recommendation by BL really did help! :)   Sure hope the bear cub gets a good check up and will be just fine - so sad that he/she was not with its mother for some reason.
Love the 2018 pic of Ollie - so cute, but so alert and protective!!   Beautiful pics of your back yard.  Wish your neighbor would learn from you!

Lani - Yaaay! Happy to hear that Mike plans to retire in 2 years! ;D   I just saw in your note to Clynn that Mike returns next Friday - good for you in how you keep busy (as always) while he is away! :) :)

Lori - Love all the cute banana split pics yesterday! ;D

Tig - You are always keeping busy - but please take care in that heat/humidity.  Sure hope the Osprey that was rescued will be okay.   Wow! Just looked at all your concrete project pics!!!!  Looking so good!!!! ;D

Hi Karen  :)

Puff - Like your 'Caturday'!

LisaG - Love the darling pic of your sweet little Granddaughter!! ;D


Got to get busy and get a few things done before my mom & sis come over for a visit at 2:00 today! 

Beakers have a nice afternoon  :)

I did better today. Was out early at 63 degrees to rehabilitate garden path and other areas near the project. I finished pruning the grape. Then rest and breakfast. Back out at 2 to mow the back and now sprinkling the garden, trees and cement. Will prolly mow/ sprinkle the front tomorrow.
TSK... Thanks for your care of the Monarch
KB... Yup... My neighbor pays someone to mow about twice a yr.   whether it needs it or not.  ::)   >:(

KB- Yea! Hydrangea bloomed

{{{Bazi/Zippo}}}

Tig- I bet your garden will look

Jim is doing just fine!  He should be,  as he's passed this on to me!
Cough, soar  scratchy throat, sinus drainage, achiness,  chills  ears feel full and itchy.  In order to appease my anger he gave me a bottle of Zicam this AM.  Not nary a cold in 3 years and then  I feel like ... He has a careless attitude about health  >:(

PUFF  Did not hear that news about Bob Barker - Nice long life and true animal advocate.

KB   You live in Eden!!  What a shame about next door.  Good that you could take advantage of the cooler day today.  I continued to pull/cut milkweed but repetitive movements are killers  for me - so "baby steps" and Aleve  LOL  We had a great breeze off the Lake today

PHYL   Thanks for the explanation on what the kitty was watching  :o :o  I remember that scene  ;) ;)   So sorry you now have Jim's cold.  almost unavoidable - You both probably should have worn masks... :-\ :-\  At least you know what you are dealing with.

Oh LISA   Sydney is so adorable.  Darling outfit and quilt?  AND you will get to see her on Monday - Great day with lots more cuddles and pics  LOL
Is Kelly's Mom still there?

Thank you Beakers for your words of condolence for my friend's loss.  My friend and I have been friends since kindergarten - a lot of history!  She has been there for me in good times & sad, and I hope I do the same for her.

LisaG - I just hope your appointment doesn't get cancelled and that you have a beautiful visit.

Phyl - Oh no! Looks like you have caught what Jim has! ::)  Take care and hope you start feeling better soon.

Tsk - How is your BIL doing?

Howdy Beakers. I didn't get here till Caturday night!!

E4E, so sorry about your friend's child. Nice that you both still live close enough to be there for each other all these years.

PHYL, ugh... sorry you caught Jim's bad cold. Be well soon!

KAREN, Invest 93L is now Tropical Depression 10, and should be a tropical storm by Sunday - then it will be named Idalia (pronounced ee-DAL-ya). As of the 11pm update tonight, it's expected to be a hurricane by Tuesday morning, and make a gulf coast Florida landfall overnight Tuesday, or Wednesday morning, and then move inland through FL, then becoming a tropical storm again in GA, SC, and NC... and the cone also includes VA and MD, though the center track line shows it emerging over the NC Outer Banks Thursday night as a tropical storm. This track forecast and timing will change many times between now and then, of course, so stay tuned.
The current 11pm track and intensity and timing forecast:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/024528.shtml?cone#contents (scroll down the page to see the cone and track info, and the legend and definitions of abbreviations are below the map)

LISA, that is the cutest picture of sweet baby Sydney!  :-*  Heads up for future tropical storm Idalia possibly eventually making its way in your direction. See my note just above to Karen about its current forecast, which will change, but just FYI, the current cone includes parts of the Delmarva.

LANI, have you and Sadie been escorted by the coyote on your morning walks again lately? Hope not! Hope you get some help again with that firewise work you mentioned you would be doing.

TSK, that's a lot of Monarchs! You are the Monarch whisperer.  That's so wonderful. My neighbor's tests show spinal stenosis, to the tune of back surgery with rods... and she will be following a reference to Duke for further evaluation. She has a very complicated health situation. Not what she wanted to hear, but glad to finally find out what's causing the numbness of her legs and feet. Oh, I didn't know Milkweed has underground runners. I wonder if that means rhizomes. I will google it. Was it you who asked about my refrigerator shopping? (or CLYNN, maybe?). Well, anyway, I picked out my refrigerator long time ago. It's still available, but 3 dollars more. LOL. Strange. I was just waiting to get to the bottom of the food in my freezer to order it because the delivery time is very short for it. I keep buying great sale stuff for my freezer though! LOL.  ::) I know! So, I decided to wait to see if it will happen to go on a Labor Day sale, and we are almost there, so I will know soon. I have a feeling it won't now though, based on stuff I've seen online about what will/won't go on sale for that holiday.  Oh well... So I should be ordering it pretty soon.

CLYNN, wow, so glad you reported the hatchback latch issue when you did. Days to spare on your warranty!! Close call!! Crazy for that repair to be so expensive!! For sure, it better be covered. Awww, Harley... funny kitty.  :D :-* Your coleus plants loving life!


Bob Barker, rest in peace. It won't be right unless funeral home visitors have three doors to choose from to be able to visit him.  Oops, never mind... wrong TV show. Monty Hall would've needed to be behind one of three doors.  8)

G'night Beakers. Peace. SED.

Tsk, 46 monarchs this year! A very successful year for you! safe travels for the monarchs! Ole!!!

Puff, Bob Barker lived a long life, my mom and I started watching him on Truth or Consequences. He was part Sioux indian. Our daughter Shannon always tried to get a ticket on the Price is Right, and wasn't successful. He was on her bucket list of things to do.  :)

Kb, your back yard is lovely due to your hard work and patience, love the hydrangeas.

Lisa, awww, Sydney looks adorable in her sleeper jammies, sweet button nose, she looks like her dad.  ;D ... glad you will see her on Monday.  :)

{{{Eagles}}} My sincere condolences for your friend and family... time with your mom and sister will brighten your spirits.  :-*

Phyl, glad Jim is feeling better. sorry to hear you've got it now. Feel better soon.

{{{Tig}}} Your a great photographer too.  ;D

Baz, we've been tracked by coyotes every morning. Sadie can sense them ahead or behind us. We keep on alert and walk with others and their dogs too. And still enjoy our walks, it was a lovely morning today.... I'm doing the firewising myself. I had the heavy trimming done a couple months ago. I've done 10  49 gal bags of leaves/small limbs today. Another day or two and I'll be done till next month. LOL! ... Monty Hall  ;D

Good night!

High today will be 80! A gorgeous day for sure, windows open! 86 tomorrow. And so it goes...

Lani, wow, 10 49 gallon bags! That is a LOT!  Take care and drink a lot! (I know you already do that but it's the Mom in us that makes us remind people... ;D)

baz, I have never heart of the Invest terminology before! Ugh, another hurricane. So your fridge went up $3! You're lucky, they usually take a bigger jump than that! Believe me, I will be talking to the manager if the car repair isn't covered. I have been getting emails to buy more extended warranty, and it's monthly. I will sign up for that if necessary and cancel it next month. Or maybe I will keep it. It's around $40 a month. It's just that I have had no issues until now, close to when the warranty expires...  ::) ::)

E4E, it's hard to lose a friend, Kelsey and I are still missing Kay, especially Kelsey. And now she keeps asking about Honey. I tell her that Honey is with Kay...

Phyl, I hope your cold is gone quickly...  The Zicam should help...sounds like you are a little peaved at Jim... ::) Cute good night kitties!  Thanks for Bob and love the cat Heavy Metal Band!

Lisa, oh my, Sydney looks so cuddly! She gets prettier every time you post a picture!  All the cute little giraffe things! I also think she is looking more like Bradley!

Erin & Sydney took the kids to Boone, IA yesterday for a ride on the Boone Scenic Valley Railroad!  We used to take Erin & Kelsey when they were kids! It is a really spectacular ride, especially in the fall! There is a dinner car, Ed and I went on our anniversary years ago! https://bsvrr.com/wp/

tsk - The thing Sydney is laying on, I thought was some kind of wall hanging, but I see they are using it for a blanket/quilt.  It is really thick and soft.  I think Kelly's mom went home last Sunday. 

E4E - Thanks...I am hoping my appointment doesn't get cancelled either.  I have been waiting to see her.  :D

baz - Thanks for kind words, and also for the heads-up.  I will keep my eye on that. 

Lani - I think she looks alot like Bradley, but I see that she has Kelly's eye shape.  Oh my, you have been busy in the yard!  I hope you are not too sore today.

KAREN   Yes, left lung pneumonia.

TIG  Would think there might be lots of sales on the bags of stuff you bought so they can get rid of stock?  Some work ahead for you.  Apple cinnamon muffin - Well worth it  ;D

Not sure about sales... but we get rewards... $5 off today. I won't sow the seed for a few weeks. The area will be extra wet from sprinkling the concrete so it cures better and the puppies are scheduled for another visit in a couple of weeks and I would rather not have them scamper thru the seed.

O! Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


CLYNN, great pics of the Munchkins and all!  Fun train ride with great scenery!

LISA, smooth travels tomorrow to visit your sweet grand, Sydney!  :-*

LANI, shoo coyotes! Shoo! Oh, my! That's a lot of big bags of firewise debris you collected!! Sounds like a perfect day to treat yourself to some of your favorite snacks and dinner after you finish for the day... maybe some things you enjoy that you wouldn't have when Mike is there. Treats for Sadie, too!  :)

TIG, that's a lot of heavy stuff to move and distribute. It sounds like you can take your time, and take breaks. The pics of your yard and The Project look good. Yummy treat!

TSK, so glad Tom is feeling so well and is out and about!  The US Open Tennis Tournament starts tomorrow - with a live broadcast on ESPN, starting at noon, Eastern, I believe.

LORI, mmm... yummy treat! Hi to you and Destini! Take care!

PUFF, hi!  :)

OLDGUY, mmm, thanks for sharing Phyl's cake! Chocolate and raspberry are a favorite combo of mine!

KB, enjoy your yard.

KAREN, yeah... I can't wait till Presidents Day. LOL. But I will check out the Labor Day pricing, and then order my fridge. Get the old towels ready to wipe Piper's feet when she comes in from the rain this week.  She might get an automatic wash! LOL! I hope you won't get severe weather from Idalia, whenever it blows through, or where. At least if it comes your way, all your recent yard maintenance will make for less stuff to get blown around the yard to pick up afterward.

E4E, I hope you and Kris enjoy a bit of "down time" today.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

TIG   Tim usually seeds some areas right during fall as well.  I think they say that is when you should do it.  YAY  pups again.  ;D

BAZI   Thanks for the reminder on the US Open.  Don't usually have the TV on in the middle of the day but have left myself a note. ;)   Love your cup of tea  ;D ;D

Ready for this?  Barb's son Mike who with his wife Susanna and 4 yr old twins and a 1 1/2 yr old live in Birmingham.  Susanna's brother is getting married on Friday in Fairhope Al ( Karen - you are familiar)   Barb and I think Tom are flying down on Thurs.    Mikes wife and kids all have Covid!  Mike is groomsman! and still has not tested positive.    Hurricane heading for the gulf...Will be an interesting week.  :o :o :o

baz - Thank you!  :-*  You and karen talking about President Day sales...I need to get me a new stove.

Lani - Love that song by the Commodores...Lionel and his smooth voice!

oldguy - Yes, please...I will have a slice of Phyl's cake.  ;D

I am dying for a snowball, so off to the snowball stand I go.  See you all in the morning before I head out. 
Have a good night, everyone!

TSK...  :o  Wow-wee! At least the hurricane (Idalia) is expected to track well east of Fairhope, AL (probably somewhere through, or just south of, Florida's "Big Bend" area, and heading northeast from there, away from AL!), and will be gone by wedding weekend.  Hopefully, the forecast track will not move more westward toward the Fairhope/Mobile Bay area! And, hopefully, all those who are sick will be well by then, too! Fingers crossed!! And crossed some more!! I also have a 1st cousin living in Fairhope, who grew up in nearby Daphne, AL, on Mobile Bay, across the bay from Mobile.  I haven't been there since I was 12 years old!

LISA, LOL, Presidents Day is in February, so I won't be waiting till then to order my refrigerator.  ;)


KAREN, the 5pm Eastern Tropical Storm Idalia Advisory Number 5 is out now, here:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT5+shtml/272050.shtml - hope it stays east of you, but be sure to scroll way down near the bottom to the "RAINFALL" section to see the anticipated rain amounts for south Georgia, where it says, "southern Georgia: From Tuesday into Wednesday, 3 to 6 inches, with isolated higher totals of 10 inches... and "Scattered flash and urban flooding can also be expected..."

This is a more friendly read, with a good summary - the 5pm Eastern time Tropical Storm Idalia Discussion Number 5 is also out now, here:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCDAT5+shtml/272059.shtml - be sure to scroll down to the "KEY MESSAGES"

Current cone, track, and intensity forecast - will get updated again at 8pm Eastern:

BAZI  Don't think I remembered you have a cousin in Fairhope.   When we were down there for Mike's wedding years ago now Fairhope was/is a cute town. And Mobile right across the bay.

If there were two chocolate cakes, one with cherry and one with raspberry, I would have a very hard time deciding which  one to eat!
Seds!b,

Btw. I did not have any pine trees removed as you would need a bucket truck to trim them so the stuff that falls is still with us!
 Thanks Baz for the info o. The storm. Looks likea rain event, hopefully! Or maybe not, per latest cone!  Ugh!

SED Eagles and Kris! Have a great time!  ;D

Lori, perfect birthday cake for Phyl!  ;D

Oldguy, Yum! Chocolate Raspberry birthday cake, I'd like a slice of that to celebrate Phyl's birthday.

Baz, I'm doing things I enjoy doing (another 6 bags today), listening to a good murder mystery audio book with an air pod.  and working on projects that I won't have time for in the fall.... We bought our current refrigerator during Labor Weekend Sales four years ago... Thanks for the reminder about the US Open! I know you'll enjoy watching! ... great weather info for Karen and our Beakers in that corner of earth... Be safe and take care  :-*

Tig, YAY the pups are coming.  ;D

Tsk, I hope Mike's wife and children feel better soon... Aly's had covid three times while living with us, and Mike and I never came down with it. Mike's had it and I didn't. So, I guess you never know how another person's body can react to something. But, I do hope Mike and his family will be well soon, and able to attend the wedding... and Lord, please no hurricane!

Lisa, Enjoy your snowball!! Have a good night's sleep and safe travels to see your precious girl.  :-*

Karen, you and Piper sleep well and I pray there isn't a hurricane.

Phyl, I hope you had a nice birthday and feel better.

Good night!

Lani, audio books are wonderful! I listen to murder mysteries when I am driving to Mom's by myself, it makes the trip go much faster! 6 more bags yesterday, you will have it done in no time, and what a good feeling! Oh that Beagle, just melting out of his bed...

E4E, hope you and Kris are having a wonderful time at Lake Tahoe! I went there in the mid 70's, I bet it has changed a lot! I just remember starting in Reno where it was 94, up and up the mountain where there were patches of snow on the ground. It was beautiful!

Lisa, your happy day is today! That little sweetie is in for some good Grandma cuddling!

tsk, it is certainly odd how covid moves. When I had it, Kelsey and Ed never got it. Bella got it from daycare, but no one in their house got it. I hope all goes well with the wedding!

baz, you will be glued to the tv watching the Tennis Open!

My mother’s brother used to live in Daphne, AL, in a historic home on the bay. My sisters and I traveled by train to visit at his home one summer when I was 12. His daughter, my 1st cousin, who lives in Fairhope now, was only 4 years old then, and her baby brother was not yet born, but my uncle’s wife was pregnant with him at the time, and very sick with constant nausea, so she wasn’t up to doing much while we were visiting. She was from a prominent Mobile family, and was a Mardi Gras Queen one year. I met her in my hometown home when I was very young, and my uncle and she had visited my family so we could meet her, as they were then engaged to be married. She was so very nice and sweet to us, and was knockout gorgeous. We spent a day at her mother’s home in Mobile, swimming and dinner and such. My uncle drove my sisters and me to NOLA one day, via the Tallulah Bankhead Tunnel under Mobile Bay, and over the long bridge across Lake Pontchatrain, on to the French Quarter in New Orleans, for beignets, pralines, lunch in a famous jazz restaurant, and shopping at Neiman Marcus, before the long return drive back to Daphne, by way of a meal stop at a restaurant in Biloxi, where I ordered frog legs - my 1st experience with that. It was a memorable trip and a great visit with our favorite uncle back then. My then-unborn 1st cousin, John, now lives with his wife and kids in northern AL, but have a small farm place getaway near Gulf Shores. He and his wife and 3 young children came to visit my sisters and me at my Mtn Sis’s log cabin in TN maybe 10 years ago now. It was the 1st time we ever met face to face. A wonderful visit, and we passed on to him a number of family archives and photos and the family bible from my mother’s side of the family, since he is now the only living member carrying that family name. It was a special time to share with him, as his father left their family when he was still quite young, and his mother died in her early 40s of breast cancer, and so he never had before then really known much about his father’s side of the family. We filled in a lot of gaps in that history for him! And he now has some family portraits, history, documents, personal letters written by his father, and lore of all that. I have mentioned a number of times here in the past about going through the Tallulah Bankhead Tunnel under Mobile Bay,   visiting in Daphne, and being out of sight of land while in the middle of that long bridge over Lake Pontchatrain. Memory tour! LOLOL! Hope you all just scrolled on by, LOL, as I know your eyes glazed over early in.  ;D

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Robin, a beloved three-fingered sloth. Robin succumbed to his condition despite our best efforts to ensure his comfort and quality of life.

Robin's malformations have had a significant impact on his heart, kidney, and liver, greatly diminishing his chances of reaching adulthood. To further comprehend Robin's condition, we are conducting an extensive biopsy report. This research aims to shed light on the prevalent malformations observed in these crucial organs. By delving into Robin's case, we aspire to acquire a comprehensive understanding of his condition and its implications. This knowledge will be invaluable in our ongoing research within the Saving Sloths Together program.

Throughout Robin's time with us, we strived to provide him with the best care possible, cherishing every moment we had with him. We are proud to have given him a fighting chance at life, whereas he would not have survived in the wild for more than a few days.

His memory will forever remain in our hearts, and we will continue our commitment to preserving and protecting these incredible creatures.

 :'( :'( :'(

Reminder to all viewers:
We are a wildlife rescue center, which means ALL of the animals you enjoy on our explore.org cameras are rescued from various serious situations - whether that be electrocution, car accidents, domestic animal attacks, illegal pet trade, the loss of habitat, etc. We keep an important message at the end of all of our updates from our dedicated animal care staff to remind new and old viewers alike of the nature of our work.

We want to reiterate with the passing of Robin that we look to the explore.org community to maintain grace and compassion towards not only the animals, but our staff, who are fighting daily to keep them alive. We have been doing this for nearly two decades and know, at a very intimate level, how hard it can be to lose an animal. What you do not see is the 24/7 care we provide to give each individual a fighting chance at life.

You are all witnessing a unique, private, and behind-the-scenes look at what it takes mentally, emotionally, and physically to rescue, rehabilitate, and rewild injured wildlife. This job is not easy and is arguably some of the world's most challenging work. As we continue to show up for these animals and nature, we all cope differently with the emotional impact of this job - Please remember this when sharing and commenting within this community.

"Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future." - Nelson Mandela

So. Lake Tahoe;  67 right now at 10 a.m. - warming to 78.

Clynn - What fun Talon & Bella had going on that exciting train ride!!  Erin & Sydney do a lot of fun outings with the kids!!! Love all the pics!!

Lani - Oh my gosh, you sure are working hard out in the yard!!

Tsk - Glad that Tom is much better now!  Wow, just read about the wedding and covid situations - that will be interesting - wishing them all well. :)

Tig - Busy Sunday yesterday - you are always keeping busy out in your yard too - good idea with holding off to sow the seeds at a later date. :)

Hi Kb!

OG - Like your birthday post for Phyl yesterday.

Hi Lori!

Hi Karen!

Baz - Waving to you & Zippo  :)

I just wanted to check into the Beak real quick and say 'hi'!  We are heading out for a walk now!  It is gorgeous over here in Tahoe. 8)

Beakers have a nice day. :)

E4E - Enjoy your trip, and take pics.  From what I have seen in pics, Tahoe looks nice.

Lani - Oh no, so sad to read about Robin!   Thanks for the Royal updates. 

baz - What great memories!  I crossed Lake Pontchartrain many times from New Orleans to Bush, LA, as a kid.  My grandparents owned a camping ground there, and what fun times that was.  Do you ever remember Pontchartrain Beach, an amusement park?

karen - Glad that you are getting prepared, just in case. 

kb - Hope you got your project done.

tsk - Yikes on that humidity. 

Had a great time with Sydney, and I even got a lil smile from her.

Oh my, Lisa, what a pretty baby!  She looks much older!   Great picture.   
I sure do not remember the amusement park and crossed that bridge a number of times!  Not as often as you however!
Eagles, have fun in Tahoe!   I have friends who honeymooned there years ago!

Wish that hurricane would fall apart, suffer from wind shear or something!  I do not want it to move and damage someone else!  Just die out!

lani - you are too funny, in a good way of course.....I finished for the day around noon....it gets too hot after that.
Only have a day of painting left to do this season and only in the front and along side the garage.

I feel good about what I accomplished and am happy to have part of it behind me..

You too take care....i am sore after what I did, and hope you aren't after what you have done. :)

Royal Albatross ~ Manaaki Is Almost Ready To Fly! 💗 Beautiful Wing Exercises & Closeups! 8.28.23

https://youtu.be/GtazvBB2tYc?feature=shared

Manaaki is 220 days old and he is getting close to fledging! We are in the homestretch now with the chicks getting ready to take flight. Today, we had the first fledge of the 2023 season - Gunpit chick at 217 days old.

Manaaki has a gorgeous view of the sea from his nest and we have a gorgeous view of him!! He will also head to the grassy area close to the cam where a small prism of light like a diamond adorns him (just like Pippa, Tiaki & QT Lilibet had their diamonds) Manaaki does some gardening and then heads back and look out over the sea and perform his wing exercises! Thank you for watching!

Media release 28 August 2023
First Otago albatross fledgling a record setter! The first fledgling toroa/northern royal albatross to leave Pukekura/Taiaroa Head on Otago Peninsula this season set a record when he spread his wings and set off to spend years at sea. DOC Dunedin ranger Sharyn Broni says the male is the youngest on record to fledge, taking flight on Sunday —Gunpit chick at just 217 days after he hatched. He will spend the next 4-10 years at sea before returning to the colony. “The previous record for youngest fledgling was 219 days and the average is 240 days. We think he fledged so early because he had really regular feeding from his parents, meaning he was in good condition and at a good weight, and perfect fledging conditions on Sunday with strong winds blowing him straight out to the ocean. “The chick is one of 20 which has been fitted with a tracker that will record his movements for about the next three years. Previously the species has only been tracked for up to one year, so we’re excited to learn more about what these juveniles do in their first few years.”The trackers do not transmit the bird’s location but save the data on the unit, which will be retrieved when they return to the colony. He is the first fledgling of 33 toroa chicks at the colony this season. If all fledge successfully it will be the highest number on record to do so in a season. The current best is 30 chicks in 2021. That includes the Royal Cam chick, Manaaki, who has been the focus of the popular 24-hour online live stream, run in partnership with Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology in New York. Manaaki has been stretching his wings in the breeze but is not quite ready to begin his journey.

Sharyn says it’s been a very successful breeding season at the colony so far, though it has had its eventful moments.

“One major event was a female going to the Dunedin Wildlife hospital with acute liver failure near the end of the guard stage, which is the first 30-40 days when parents stay with their chicks to protect them. “Remarkably she pulled through after a two week stay in hospital — a first for a breeding toroa — and is back successfully raising her chick.” However, one unfortunate trend that’s been observed is parents returning to feed their chicks with plastic in their stomachs, which is then regurgitated for the chick, says Sharyn Broni. “Plastic is a serious threat for albatross. It can look like food when it’s floating in the ocean so the birds often catch it, which is a choking hazard for both parents and chicks. It can also fill up their stomachs which causes the birds to effectively starve, as plastic has no nutritional value.

“Easy ways you can help albatross and other seabirds include picking up rubbish when you’re at the beach or near waterways, reducing your plastic use where possible, and carefully disposing of any plastic you do use.” Te Poari o Pukekura chair Nadia Wesley-Smith says, “It’s always pleasing to hear of a successful fledging, and this one beating the record for earliest recorded fledging shows the importance of regular feedings from parents and how that impacts the overall population of toroa at Pukekura. With the tracker attached, we’ll also look forward to gaining new insights on their activity during the years spent away from the headland”. Otago Peninsula Trust and Royal Albatross Centre Ecotourism Manager Hoani Langsbury says, “As a father myself, I always think of the first chick to fledge as heralding in the empty nest concept as the birds start their big OE. This is both a sad and exciting time for staff. We’re looking forward to the first returners for next season.”

HI EVERYONE

59 heading to 80  91% humidity  DP 58   Heading back to the 90s for the weekend

EAGLES  Have a fun getaway.  How long a ride for you?

LANI   You have a great immune system that with all that Covid around you  that you didn't get it.  Love the sleeping Bassett   ;D

CLYNN    You also had intermittent covid outbreaks as well.  Hope the same for Mike's family.   Like the birdfeeder.  Awesome view of that waterfall.

    Hi Tsk - forgot to reply, the ride up here took a little over 5 hrs, but we stopped to fill up with fuel & buy a snack!

KB    You indeed are a blessed family - no Covid.  Knocking off the projects  - Steady as she goes... ;D

BAZI  How nice of you to share that wonderful story of memories of being with your favorite Uncle as a young child.  I would have been enamored as well.  And then to later meet the "unborn cousin" and be able to give him some of the archival the history of the family.  How wonderful.

LANI   The record setting albatross Gunpit fledge.  Rangers are thrilled. ;D   I love to have a list of indoor things to do on hot days - will get to those on the weekend -90's again.   ::) ::)    Oh No  poor little Robin passed.  Must be so hard on those trying to rehabilitate.

EAGLES  Love your temps there at Tahoe,- enjoy the day.  Not a bad ride at all to get there.

LISA   What a sweet pic of Sidney and I do see a bit of a smile  ;)  Sure hope your day went well.

Well, it now looks like we are in for some serious stuff beginning tomorrow night!   Hope this sucker moves a tad to the east. Where it was or, preferably falls apart! We are now in the warning area for hurricane force winds, rain, of course, tornados, etc!   I hope the pines around here hold up! No basement of course and a couple of closet like rooms without windows!   Not my first rodeo for this but I am not mentally ready for this one!   Lol, I liked the earlier forecasts better!  Seds and see you in the am!

Eagles, glad you and Kris are having a relaxing time in beautiful Lake Tahoe!  :-*

Lisa, awww, beautiful baby Sydney, gorgeous eyes, precious girl. I'm so glad for you and Sydney that you were able to spend some TLC time today.  :-*

{{{Kb}}} I'm happy for you, You accomplished a lot and now you can sit back and enjoy its rewards.  :-*

Lori, thank you for the great Manaakii gifs and Lady Hawk video! Also, great Media release updating and sharing with us a better understanding of what's going on with the colony...  Very concerning to read about the adult albatross feeding their chicks the plastic from their stomachs that they are picking up from the seas. Reminds me of Kb's post of the importance of the Ocean trash clean up barge. In fact, I think there was one video where the cam showed plastic in one of the chicks nests.

Tsk, I'm so sad for the TRR family. They work so hard to rehabilitate these beautiful critters. But, at least these sloths babies are treated with love, well fed, given the medical care that they need and feel safe. But, mostly especially given love. I'll miss Robin's big brown searching eyes.  :-*

{{{Karen and Piper}}} I pray the storm will miss all of you and go out to the ocean.

{{{Baz and Zippo}}} be safe and take care.

Happy birthday Masswatch! I hope you had a good day  :)

Good night!

(((KAREN))), I hope the track moves more east from you soon!! I saw you are now in the hurricane warning area! Get your safest closet cleared enough and set up as your safe room on Tuesday so it has room for you and Piper to just go and get in it on Wednesday on short notice if needed. If you have time, if you need to go to the closet for a warning, close all the doors in your house - if you have time. That way, if any debris blows against a window and breaks it, the broken glass will stay contained in that room, and not blow through your house. Hope it won't happen, but I always do that as an extra measure. Maybe put a chair and cushion and pillow and water and such in the closet beforehand so you don't have to gather those things at the last second. Maybe stash some doggie treats in the closet, too, for Piper, and an extra pair of reading glasses, if you wear them... and have your phone charged up and with you. Put a flashlight near where you know where it is and can easily reach it if the power goes out. If you have a plastic gallon jug of water (or even an empty plastic jug), you can put your flashlight to shine through from behind it, and it will disperse the light across a larger area almost like a small soft lamp, and it really helps! Maybe you have a battery lantern. But shining a flashlight through a plastic jug is a good trick, too! Keep your weather alerts on and volume up. It sounds like the higher winds will start reaching your area early Wednesday morning, and last through most of the day before it has passed by, so at least it will be during the day. Just prep the best you can on Tuesday (be sure you have a manual can opener if you feed any canned food to Piper), and y'all stay safe. I know you know all these things... just reminders.  It can be nerve-wracking, I know, but it's going to be okay. And... Fingers crossed you stay on the west side of the storm and won't need any of those things!!


LISA, oh my! I agree with Karen... Sydney is a beautiful baby! and looks so alert and older than her days! What a sweetheart!  :-* :-*  I don't know about the amusement park at Pontchartrain Beach. It must have been so much fun spending time at your grandparents' campground and going to that amusement park when you were growing up!

E4E, I'm jealous!  I love Lake Tahoe and the area all around there! I haven't been there in years! What a nice getaway for you and Kris!

LANI, you are staying so busy! Wow, that's really hot for your area and elevation! I hope it's a one-day thing only! Thanks, luckily, my area only expects some wind and lots of rain, but nothing severe, if the current track holds. Manaaki looks like she's loving the wind and the view! I don't want her to go yet!  :-*  Aww, such sad news about little Robin the Sloth... may he rest in peace. So hard on all who cared for him, too.  :-*

TSK, is your thespian niece planning to be in any upcoming productions this Fall?



Waving to All the Beakers!  Take care. Peace. SED.

Thank you all for the kind words on Sydney.   :-*

karen - Are you in the evacuation zone yet?  I have a friend on a lil vacay on St. George Island in FL, and they are being told to evacuate now.  I know you are a lil further up from there, but didn't know if you were in that zone. Oops, I see your comment now.  Stay safe!

kb - Hope you can get your project done, and rest up some.

Lori - Thanks for the Royal update!

tsk - Yea, Sydney kinda gave a lil smile when I was talking to her, and holding the phone in her face...LOL  Bradley stayed in the room with me and Sydney most of the time, but I didn't see Kelly at all.  She stayed in the other room, which was kinda strange.

Lani - Aww, the talkative 3 week old.  Thanks...I was glad I got to hold, kiss, and put Sydney to sleep!

baz - My mama said the same thing...Sydney does not look like a 3 week old baby.

Phyl - Feel better soon!!!

baz, some very good storm/hurricane advice, you could write a 'be prepared' handbook!  Loved your story of your Uncle and how wonderful that you could hand down some precious information to your cousin John, I am sure his family is grateful! I have my Mother's box of old pictures, letters etc. I asked her if I could borrow it to take some pictures os things I wanted. She very slowly handed it over to me... 

Lani, sending prayers for the wonderful people caring for the sloths...RIP Robin...  How is your wirewising going, are you done yet? You are having some hot weather too, but looks like you may get some rain and a cooldown Friday! When is Mike returning? Hope both of your girls are doing well...  Wow on the rainbow cloud, have never seen anything like it! That is the sweetest puppy with a big voice!  Ming, I remember... Yes, the kids were here Sunday, neither of them had much to say about school! Ed took them to the park and took a ton of pictures...

Lori, thanks for the albatross news, an exciting first fledge! Manaaki will be around for at least a couple of weeks, maybe! Ocean trash harms so many ocean creatures, bless those who are trying to clean it up.

Lisa, oh my, Sydney is prettier every time I see a new picture, I love babies with dark hair! And she has a lot! Sweet little smile, and she is really looking at you! Don't you love it when she falls asleep while you are holding her? Kelly probably just needed a little time for herself...

E4E, hope you and Kris are having a good time at Lake Tahoe! I wish I was there! Such beautiful weather, you may even need a sweater by Friday, if you are still there!

tsk, haven't heard you mention any church activities going on lately, does it slow down in the summer?

Phyl, oh my, you are not feeling up to par! I hope you can get rid of it with some rest! Glad to hear that Dan is okay.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

64 heading to 82  DP 56  humidity 73  sunny - chance of rain later today.

LANI    Talkative 3 yr old   ;D

KAREN   This is very worrisome for you and I suppose there is no where else for you to go?

BAZI   What excellent advice you gave KAREN.. I've learned a few things myself.   Barb and Tom who lost their car in the last hurricane last year in Naples just had their cars moved inland - just in case.   My great niece - the actress - just started high school. They only do 1 musical a year and I think it will be in spring.  Don't know if she will get involved in drama or if there is any "outside of high school group" she will get involved in.

(((((PHYL))))) - any chicken soup in the house?

LISA   That was kind of odd that you didn't see Kelly.....Maybe she just wanted to give you and Bradley some time alone together.  How long were you there?

CLYNN     Love your positive and cheerful AM greetings each day   ;D    That Bella is a real ham in front of the camera.  She'd be a great child model.   ;) ;D   Love her outfit and hair style.   I'm always doing stuff church related - just don't mention it  LOLOL  Have a meeting on Thurs.  but basically at church things calm down a bit during summer altho we just had our first summer food drive for two weekends to help restock our 2 local church food pantries.   Lotta bang for the buck in Waukee.  Wonder how large the family is?   "I rented out the basement".LOL

tsk & clynn - I stayed for two hours.  I brought them breakfast from a nearby bagel shop and I thought she might come out to eat her bagel, but didn't.  I hope that is all what is was, needing time to herself.

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins.  School started here yesterday for some of the nieces and nephews.  Wow, that house in the link you posted...beautiful!

Dunrovin Ranch Osprey Harriet and Swoop!  :-*
This past Saturday I was able to capture a few pics of Dunrovin Harriet's three youngsters!
I think the oldest one has already flown on his migration. These three were chatting up a storm and
demanding fish! So, I'm assuming dad Swoop must still be around to make sure his young ones leave the
nest and he's the last one to tidy up home base and head out for the winter!  ;D

{{{Phyl}}} I pray you will feel better soon, and Jim too... thanks for supermoon info and history of the rose.

{{{Lisa}}} I'm sure Kelly wanted to give you, Bradley and Sydney some quiet time. And she could rest and have quiet time too.  :-*

Clynn, great pics of Talon and Bella! Mike will return home Friday, the girls are fine, just busy, busy..... I've finished firewising the right side of our home, I'm going to do behind the wash/stream later after Labor Day. That way I won't get hit by any stray golf balls. LOL! ... beautiful home, it would be priced over 1.5 million here, if not more, and in Scottsdale between 2 to 4 mil.

Goodness, I had internet interruption for a few minutes.
I cut, saved and pasted quickly.

((Lisa))). No evacuation orders here.  80 miles from the gulf so no surge. Can flood with enough rain but  not that big a concern!

Tsk, I could have called a girl in Tifton and stayed with them but driving there would be a problem. I have vision issues!   The only issue here is the trees!  If the pines stay upright we are good! I could pay big bucks to take about 8 of them out but there are pines in neighbors yards that could hit my house!
My vet was  here this am and we moved some items.  Turned a table and a glider upside down and brought chairs inside.  Hummingbird feeder is still out but I will bring it in later.  I think they are in hiding some place as Im did not see any last night.
We are expected to have winds of 70 mph as of the last report!

Phyl, feel better!

Clynn, great looking park and it looks like the kids had fun!  Pretty flowers in your am picture,

some bounce
We went to the state fair. I rented a scooter and we did a lot of testing as Camper's foot is a bother. We tried some new foods and old, and I had a foot long hot dog in honor of my Mom. We usually go on Labor Day but switched due to weather. Glad we did. It was military appreciation day and we applauded a parade of veterans for a good 5 minutes.
Of course, I had my fun and "beat children" at the water squirt game to get a small stuffed animal. LOL. Gotta revisit the childhood sometimes.

Lisa, we expect tropical force winds and lots of rain where I am, but I don't expect anything particularly severe here, and flooding will not reach my home or car. It's really the scary sudden spin-up tornadoes that are so common in the bands of tropical systems that will be the concern here for me. They happen so fast and so often that sometimes there is very short, or no, warning for them. Zippo will spend Wednesday night in my safe room bathroom, and much of the day Thursday, and it will be set up so that all I have to do is make a quick dash to it if needed. We might lose power, but don't expect widespread outages here. I'm ready Freddie. Thanks for asking.

((KAREN)), Fingers crossed Idalia decides to track east or south of you!!! I am thinking of you! Use your "safe room" - as early and often and for as long as needed... I know you will.  Maybe you can take a quilt and pillows and water in there, and you and Piper just hang out in there. Remember not to open your exterior doors or step outside on your porch if you get a sudden "lull" - if it's the eye, you know, it will pass quickly to the next part of the eye wall - lickity split!! No warning for that at all!!! Though it can be so tempting!  You might want to keep Piper on a very short leash right by you when you let her out after the storm, even if she doesn't like it, instead of letting her walk around the yard, until you are certain there are no live power lines down in the yard, or any electrical current running through water on the ground. Fingers crossed Idalia decides to track east or south of you!!!

 

Take care, All. G'night. Peace. SED.

Clynn - We had a great mini-vac in Tahoe!  We saw a few places way up high on top of the Mts where there was still some snow and we actually saw a water fall with melting snow, this was while we were driving!  Weather was in upper 70's each day - we heard the temp will be 81 tomorrow, but we are back home.    Love the Yosemite pic!! ;D   Love the pics of the Munchkins out at the park with Ed!!

LisaG - Just read that you did have a wonderful visit with Sydney. :)  So special you even got a smile!! :)  That was so nice to take them bagels. :)

Phyl - Hope you & Jim are feeling a bit better.  I know you are doing everything to get you both well.

Kb - You mentioned you have some painting to do - hope the weather will be nice for you to do this. :)

Karen - We actually never went into a casino - just didn't have enough time! ;)  We only had 1 full day, and we walked along the lakeside beach, then went to a popular shopping/tourist area where there was lots to see and do!  The time went by way too quickly for us!

Baz - Good info for Karen - stay safe.

Lani - Love Manaaki!   I am so sad to hear about Robin - Thank you TRR for all you do.

Lori - Thank you too for Royal Albatross!! ;D

Tig - What a fun day for you & Camper at the State Fair!!!  I love that you played the water squirt game and won a stuffed animal!! ;D

Tsk - Love what you said:   All in harms way be safe, and keep Eagles and all of God's creations safe.

Kb, darling pups....glad you took the day off.  :)

Tig! LOL! Sounds like a perfect day! We should all revisit our childhood. Keeps us young and that's good for the soul!  ;D

Eagles, I was reading about your time in Lake Tahoe and seeing snow, made me wonder about Mammoth mountain. I wonder how they recovered after all that snow. I just checked their website, and I read 72 days till winter. You and Kris ought to go back sometime and make it a longer stay....

Oldguy, thanks for weather update... and videos.

The last picture is for karen, Piper and baz, praying they all stay safe while Idelia passes through later this morning.  Stay safe Beakers!

I forgot to report, I called the car dealership Monday afternoon (since they hadn't called me as promised) and talked to someone.  Just a bit later the guy from the Service dept called and the repairs to the hatchback will be covered by the warranty! Now we wait for the part to come in. (Don't they have any parts in stock?) I will discuss with the Service Dept the charge I got and paid for the diagnostic on the hatchback which found nothing. $86. The guy at the Collision Dept knew what was wrong just by looking at it, no diagnostic necessary.

tsk, hello there! Love the penguin zonk!

Lani, love the sweet puppy in his jammies!  You made me think of Mammoth Mountain! From NPR 8/4/23 The lifts at Mammoth Mountain in California will stop spinning Sunday after an incredible season spanning 275 days — the second-longest ski season in the resort's recorded history — and nearly 900 inches of record-breaking snowfall. I still can't get over pictures like this one:

Good morning!   Up since 6:30 to get Piper out!  She would not go until after 7 and then I could not get her in!  Pouring rain!  I went out and could notget her!  There was a dead mocking bird in the yard that she wad messing with last night!  I could not pick it up so thought I would get it this am!  Was out with a granber but could not find it or the dog!  Neighbor came over and the different voice got her running!  We are all in and soaking wet!  Not sure of our wind velocity as something is going on with the eye wall!   Maybe something more like 45-75 mph now.  Shall see. Expecting to lose power.  My lines are all buried but they are overhead oh the block behind me.  My neighbors pool is now full of water and she expects it to flood!  Unfortunately it slopes toward the house.
Eagles, nice to read about your short get away!
Baz, dtay safe   And dry!   May see you later if I have working devices!

Karen is now in a moderate rain at this time, but is in the eye wall with winds of 85 out of the north - all of the local weather reporting stations are off line, but the closest stations that are now out ot the center got 5 - 8 inches of reported rain - some of the horizontal rain does not get measured.
Ryan Hall has passed  $41,000 for immediate help in Florida at this time - they are planning to live stream for about 3-4 more hours.

Radar indication rainfall for Karen's area is mostly 8-10 inches total up to this time 12:40 local

Hi Beak Room,

I came to check on Karen.

Karen, Prayers for you and Piper continue. Stay safe.

Prayers to all in the path of this storm.

I wish the best to all here in the Beak Room.
Take care.

Prayers for you Karen and Piper!!! Please be safe! Captiva's nest is still ok, NEFL is OK, everybody is hunkered down somewhere safe.  My Uncle moved north of Tampa near Cedar Key, everything is ok so far.

I just heard from karen, the storm has passed through her area. One section of fence was down in her back yard, and lots of leaves and sticks all over.  No electricity. Heavy rain.  Other than that, all is well.

Lani, love watching the albatross chicks flap their wings and sing! Beautiful coloring on their backs!  It looked to me like Manaaki gave that guy an indignant look after he let go of his beak!!

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, August 28. On this day we remember the pets that are no longer with us.
In loving memory of all the beloved pets that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

CLYNN   Like  " Even after the worst storms"....For sure you should get that $86.00 back.   I cannot fathom 900" of snow.  Those folks will be talking about that for generations to come.  Feel guilty complaining about 8"    ???   Love that cute first day of school pic  :-*  That link from KAREN would not open for me.    Thanks so much as I read on that Karen is over the worst and minimal damage in her yard.  Now to await power - Did she have an aide with her today? - Probably not.  :(

KAREN   What a time for Piper to go crazy outside and misbehave  :o  Nice neighbor tho to help!!

LISA  On Jeff's sunroof - things are just taking longer these days in all areas.   I  like to do the penguin every one in a while as I still laugh  LOL
Barb ( not Tom) will go to the wedding tomorrow - Her flight is 11 AM into Mobile.  She said a day or two ago - Mike still did not have Covid - do believe all will be going.  They drive down from Birmingham - usually through the night so the kids sleep.( 20 month old Talia and the twin girls at 4 yrs.)

LANI   Maybe Quarry and Manaaki are friends by now and will fly off together  ;) :D

OLDGUY   Thanks for the weather updates re KAREN's situation.

LORI  Thanks much for the nest updates and good news for your uncle. :-*

Hi Beakers. Waving to All!  :)

All good here! I will be affected by Idalia from now through the night, and most of tomorrow, but I don't expect anything severe, as long as I don't get hit by a tornado. I'm going to have lots of rain, and I have a tropical storm warning since tropical storm conditions are expected here as it comes through and past me on its way further up the NC coastline, but the winds won't be a problem here. Expect about 6 inches of rain here tonight and in the morning (most of it tonight), higher amounts in some places. I won't have a flooding problem at my home. I have been under a tornado watch since this morning, till 10pm tonight. I'm sure it will get extended. It's those tropical system bands of higher winds and rain near the coast that produce those quick spin-up tropical tornadoes, and I will have those bands through the night tonight and much of tomorrow. Those kinds of tornadoes are sudden, small, and short-lived. The only problem is if one of them strikes you or your property, it can cause a lot of damage, and can kill you. One of them this afternoon, in SC, not too far from Charleston, just picked up a car on the highway and stood it up hard on its nose (headlights) and then picked it up in the air and flipped it over it's end and slammed it down on its roof on the highway, partly on top of another car on the highway. Parts of the car went flying. People should not dismiss those little quick spinup tropical tornadoes. They are what scare me the most with tropical systems. So, yes, as oldguy said, Idalia is a rain event for my area - but it's not "just" a rain event. It's a tropical storm, and there's a high risk of tornadoes. Some people will have flooding, and trees will come down in spots. As long as they don't land on people or property, no problem.

((Karen)), I hope your power won't be out too many days! I'm so glad you did not have any major issues, but I'm so sorry you got that fence damage. I wonder if any of the pines came down that could've been within reach of your house or car. I hope not, even though none landed on your property. It's a lot of work and $$ to get them removed after they fall, even if they don't land on anything but the ground!  Piper was not being a PD when you let her out this morning!  ;) :-* LOL! Glad your neighbor helped corral her. LOL, Piper says, "I can't hear you, Mom!"  ;) :D :D The Weather Channel had someone broadcasting live from your town on TV all afternoon, including a live interview on the street downtown with your mayor. They said 97% of your area is without power, and there are some blown transformers on some of the power poles, and damaged substation, so it might take longer than usual to get power back, but I hope yours comes back on as soon as possible. I know it's going to be very warm temps again there soon. Hang in there!

Clynn, yay for your hatchback latch repair getting covered by warranty!!  :D  I can't see what your link was - I get an error that says, "HTTP ERROR 404 must authenticate" I s that link from some email app?? Just curious. I wonder what that video is.


Have a good evening, All!  :)  I will be unplugging during the stormy weather.  Zippo and I have our "Idalia snacks" to get to!  8)

Lori - Glad to hear the your uncle, and all the nests in Florida are OK.

Lani - Oh no, still having trouble with the internet?  Thanks for the Royal update. 

clynn - Glad to hear that karen is ok.  Those things can be repaired and cleaned up.  Hope she doesn't have to wait too long to get power restored. Awww, Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.

tig - Tree frogs are so cute. 

tsk - I agree with you on that, about things taking longer.  I hope Barb masks up for the plane ride, and wow, I am still amazed that Mike has not got it yet. He must have a good immune system!

baz - You and Zippo stay safe, and enjoy those Idalia snacks.  ;D ;)

Hi Beakers

Karen & Baz - Thinking of you and praying that you stay safe during Idalia. 

Lani - Cute 'nite' pic!  We do hope to go back to Tahoe next year around the same time!

Paulie - Always so nice to see you in the Beak.

Clynn - That is great that your hatchback will be covered on your warranty!!  The right thing for them to do now is to refund your $86.00.    Just read that you heard from Karen - thank you for the update.

Karen - Oh no! Your little Piper wouldn't cooperate this morning - at least you got her in!!   You & Piper please stay safe.

Oldguy - Thank you for the storm info - we all appreciate it!

LisaG - Nice that you are back home with the Loaner for Jeff.  How are Bandit and Misty these days?

Lani - Love all the Albatross pics/vid and info!

Lori - Beautiful prayer post for all in the storm.  Hope your Uncle stays safe too!   Wow - the Captiva Island Florida Eagles - so hard to see that.

Tig - Awe the little froggie! :)

Phyl - How are you & Jim doing? 

I just want to share a couple of pics from our little Tahoe trip;  1 is the view from the balcony of our room and the 2nd is a pic I took while we were driving out of Tahoe and noticed a water fall up high on the Mt., but it was actually a fall of melting snow!!  If you look closely up high where you see the Van, you can see the white 'Fall'.  The pic doesn't do it justice - it was beautiful!

It will be a while healing up and moving better again but I'll get there. Could have been worse.
I hope all is good with you and family.
You take care.  :)

Hi Eagles, Always nice to see you too. I haven't been here for a while so didn't know about your trip. Your pics are beautiful. I'm glad you had a pleasant time.
You take care.  :)

Hello Beakers

It has been a nasty day in the SE today...  The major attribute of Idalia that has been favorable is that it has been moving swiftly, while creating the carnage.  It was moving at 18mph at landfall this morning and has maintained that speed and a little faster to 20 and 21 mph this evening.  Currently at 60 mph wind speeds while over Charleston S.C.  It is following the coastline and is expected to head East when it gets to Wilmington N.C. - at current speed, it should be there by morning and maintaining the 60 mph max winds.  Baz should be clear of any danger by noon.

Brett Adair has post many videos tonight of the damage from Florida...

Lisa, oh no, now it's Jeff's car that needs repair... funnel cake is my favorite state fair or festival treat! Our internet provider is terrible. After complaining and complaining this week, they did something technical and 118 emails popped into my inbox this morning. 118 dated from the 26th to today!  :o

Clynn, glad your car is finally going to be repaired and covered by the warranty. And no one ever carries parts anymore.  :-\
I thought the same thing about Mammoth mountain. How long would it take to melt all that snow! And to think winter is 71 days away for them.  I read your update on Karen early this evening, so relieved she and piper are okay. Sorry about her fence, no electricity, I pray everyone else is okay too...  Thank you for keeping in close contact with her.  :-*

Tsk, glad to hear Mike didn't get covid, and everyone is able to go to the wedding.

{{{SED Baz and Zippo}}} enjoy your ID snacks and be safe.

Eagles, what a gorgeous view you were able to enjoy! I can see the white fall.  ;D

Hi Eburg, Tig  :)

{{{Pauiie}}} glad to hear you're healing, but oh you must be sore.... gentle hugs and prayers.   :-*

Oldguy, Thanks for videos... loved Sound of Silence.

Lori, I absolutely love your video... the toddler getting whip cream squirted in his mouth and then he points to the dog! Oh so cute! And the trampoline buddies!! LOL!

Thank you again for your ‘Get Well’ wishes/’cards’  for myself and Jim. We're doing  so much better today.  Yesterday, Jim saw Doc for annual--- got addt'l Rx.
As for me , I've  tough it out. But, I'm getting there.   :)
I've been keeping up with Idalia on FNC / Fox weather and reading comments here about  {{Karen/Bazi}}


Tsk- no chicken soup. But, chicken broth. ;)

Hi Tig-  really sounds like you/Camper had fun at the fair, too bad his foot is still a bother; sorry this is late---doing better, gotta cough though from drainage which has settled, will hang on and make me 'bark' LOL

Lani- cute Lab pup in duck one-piece jamies from Tues nite & pups from last night;  tks for the Royal update on Manaaki and his neighbors , enjoyed the videos; /this evening FNC had a spot from Lahaina town hall meeting---downright criminal what officials are trying to pull, doesn’t look like the old
historic district will be restored, etc from what I could gather

CLynn- tks for update on Karen; Rainbow Bridge Day I always think of  Niki, Tiger,  Samantha, Mitch and Mike  :'( :-*;  Hurrah on the warranty work for hatchback

Karen- relieved to read you/Piper are safe w/minimal damage
Ditto for you Bazi/Zippo- glad you're able to enjoy your  Idalia snacks

E4E Been to Lake Tahoe several times always a lovely day and great scenic ride there. Glad y'all were able to do that ---really enjoyed the photos, the drive just as I remembered; staying 'well' is a conscience effort IMHO

Lori- thanks for the short pet video, too cute

OG - tks for the FLA/  Idalia videos. FLA has an awesome governor ---so very much different than Maui now suffering major ‘land grab’.

BL tks for the weather radar

BAZI   Hopefully you will make it through today without difficulties or surprise tornados.  So scary

LISA   Barb corrected me - she is flying into Pensacola not Mobile.

EAGLES   Wonderful pics - What a beautiful area.  Beach looks nice.  I could see the snow melt  ;D

OH PAULIE  Your fall sounds terrible.   Hope you are seeing progress each day - HUGS

OLDGUY  Frankly I don't know how these storm chasers get some of this video.   Such destruction.      I'd never heard of the Incanto Quartet before -Beautiful version.

LORI  That video was really sweet - Perfect song  ;D

Lani, That is quite a backlog of email, in addition to all the other problems you have with your internet! Sounds like they need some training! And where did all that melted snow go at Mammoth Mountain? Just something I wondered...

Phyl, good to hear you are feeling a bit better and Jim has seen the Dr. I won't tell you to go, you would know if you needed to go!  It will get to 82 here today, then a long string of hot again. It sure helps to have a cooler day now and then! Thanks for Amy's Blog, I didn't realize eagles could fly that high!

tsk, what athletic shoes do you wear when you are running? Just kidding, I know you don't run...  ;D ;D

Lori, thanks so much for knowing how to post that sweet little video from karen!

E4E, great pictures of your mini-vacation! I'm afraid I would have to spend some time browsing some of the shops they have there!  https://tahoe.com/shopping?page=2

oldguy, love the Sounds of Silence video!

Paulie, sorry to hear about your fall, hope you are better soon...

Sydney Sea Eagles - The cam is down at the WBSE nest, a big storm passed through. They are working on it, should be fixed soon. This is one of the last pictures before the cam went down.

clynn - Love the saying on the 3rd pic, and that paint job!  Hope the Sydney cam is fixed soon.

tsk - I flew into that airport the last time I went to Mom's.  It was alot cheaper to fly into Pensacola on Southwest, instead of Mobile on Delta. 

Phyl - Glad to hear that you and Jim are on the mend. 

Lani - The covering on the inside of the car for the sunroof, it rolls back when you open the panoramic sunroof and when he went to open it, it all bunched up and a metal wire stuck out.  The Ford/Lincoln dealership had to send it out to an upholstery place to have it repaired.   Mmmm, funnel cake, yummy!  I am glad that up received some of your emails for the past days that the internet was spotty.

oldguy - Thanks for the update on Idalia.  I don't know if it has contributed to our weather today, but it is 67° this morning and a lil breezy.  I turned off the AC, and opened the windows!

An extended explanation Clynn of where the snow goes.  I've been in CA (?) times, Take PCH, if you ever have time, north to south borders! Pacific Coast Highway #1.  Views longer and prettier than The Cliffs of Moher.

I digress. . .Snow from Mammoth Mt. can go either east or west depending on slant of the peaks (topography).  Some lean east (destination LA), some lean west (SF).  But that's not the finite word.  Between the beginning and end are distractions (forks in the streams/rivers, dams, irrigation systems, aquaducts, land slides, etc.).  When I first heard about the path I thought it might be interesting to toss a rubber ducky in the spring melt at the top and see where it ends up?   ;D

I never even drove Rodeo Drive, much less used $$$$$$$ and time to shop in CA.  Oh wait, I did just stroll Santa Monica January this year while in CA for the Rose Bowl
festivities.  (Another side note:  I've now been there/done that for both ends of Route 66.  Santa Monica on the west and west (of Chicago) on the east (just a smidge from Darien.)  Many changes and "allowances" for exact points. 

Ahhhhh, the memories :-*   Sorry you mentioned it?

Hi Eburg!

Paulie - So sorry for the fall you took - please take care and hope you heal up quickly and have a full recovery. {{Paulie}}

OG - Click on the Live Storms Media link - such devastation.   Liked Maru  :)  Liked Incanto Quartet singing The Song Of Silence.  Thanks for links  :)

Hi Lori & Destini  :)

Hi Puff!

Lani - Glad your internet provider finally did something and that you were able to receive 118 emails! ::)

BL - Thank you for weather radar / map.

Phyl - Happy to know that you & Jim are doing better - take care.  You are right - the scenic ride in/out of Tahoe is so beautiful - although there are plenty of burn scars from past fires.  Thank you for Amy's blog - so interesting about the height that E's can fly.

Tsk - Glad that you were able to see the snow melt in the pic - I know it is hard to see! 

Clynn - Love your morning post - especially Four Things You Can't Recover!  Love the link you provided for Lake Tahoe!  We did do some shopping in So. Lake Tahoe (near where we stayed) and there were Lots of shops!  I just didn't have too much time, but did buy a few things including a T-shirt for our Grandson!

LisaG - Hope they are able to fix Jeff's panoramic sunroof so that it is as good as new!

Hi Kb!

Hi Tig!

Bazi & Karen - Hope you were okay and safe during Idalia and hoping today is better.

I began my day with heading out early for the clinical lab to have a blood panel taken and got back home before 7:30 - as I have my annual checkup next Thursday!         We are going over to my Mom's apt later so that Kris can hook up a tv.  The tv in Mom's bedroom went out, and we happen to have an extra tv that is like new and works perfectly.

All Beakers stay safe.

some maples are already turning red and orange in the Superior National Forest in Minnesota


thank God it's September 1 tomorrow...although our temps for the next 5 days will be well over our average now of 78....101 and 100 this weekend coming..

I noticed a very few yellow leaves from someone's nearby tree in my backyard today..for me, the most awful summer in decades...no rain and hot...

Not to be contrarian for contrarian's sake but I disliked the Sounds of Silence video...not OG's fault...to each their own...I Love Disturbed's version...oh and Ladies, put some clothes on please, LOL

Walked Ollie, dropped final grubex in front and watered in...reading in the outdoor porch before making home-made chili for later.

Hi Eagles4....I forgot to mention thanks for your pics..nice of you and Kris for dropping off a tv.

Morning Beakers!
Hi 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 all goes well with pre-checkup .. good deal with your extra tv for your mom. I hope your mom and sis are doing well. Take care  :)

Lisa, well I hope the repairs are done quickly. Isn't wonderful to be able to open the windows! Enjoy the cooler day!  ;D

Puff, good to see you.

Clynn, Optima has no idea why and where the emails were held. And only 10% was junk email.... awww the poor Sea Eaglet family looked completely soaked. I hope they have a sunny day to dry out and get warm.

{{{Phyl}}} good to hear that you and Jim are getting stronger bit by bit each day... Yes, it is criminal what the Maui government officials and governor have been doing. There are not fooling the people anymore. I've been keeping up with the heartbreaking news and getting snippets from family and friends. I've kept my silence on it, because I'm so angry. No, the officials will not restore old Lahaina if they are allowed to continue this path. I pray daily this will change. Thank you for RRP blog and historical info on hurricanes. I'll read them later today. thank you and Take care.

BL, thank you for weather info

Kb, I love maple tree's beautiful fall colors. Showing signs of fall here too. I have seen any woolly bear caterpillars yet. Yummy chili!  ;D

Busy busy day today..  Tomorrow not too much on the calendar  ::) ::)

CLYNN  Love the 4 words post.  ;)   LOLOLOL  No I don't do running.  My goal - try and walk a little faster and if that doesn't happen - too bad. I'm drying your milkweed pods...  I'm afraid I would also shop Tahoe  ::)     Painted truck   ;D ;D ::) ::)

EAGLES  Nice to help out Mom with a new TV.  Hard to be without one that she is used to having. ;)

KB   Wow  some maples turning up in Superior already.   We will for sure be in the mid 90's Fri through Tues.  We have had 5 days of gorgeous weather so can't complain.  Funny, I made chili yesterday afternoon as I wanted to use some of my tomatoes.

PHYL   Interesting piece on the life changing hurricanes.  Little known piece of history.

(((KAREN))), I'm so sorry your power is out, and it's 90 degrees there now! I hope you can get somewhere that is cooler, maybe a neighbor or friend with a generator where you can relax in some cool. Hugs. At least there will be a cooler day there tomorrow. I hope your power is back on soon!! I wish I were there to help you take care of "stuff."  Hang in there!  :-*


Waving to All the Beakers.  :)


Zip and I are fine. There were several tropical tornadoes that went through the general area starting around suppertime last night. Zippo slept in the "safe room," and I had to duck and cover in there with her for a while when one tornado came very close - it was scary close! and I was so glad it didn't come right over me... it has now been confirmed by NWS, as a 100 mph, EF1 tornado. It was short-lived, but it did damage to trees and property in its short-lived life, and I'm glad it wasn't at my house! Too close! Two other tornadoes in the general area have also been confirmed by the NWS - one an EF1, and the other an EF0. They are still investigating other damage reports to determine if they were tornadoes. It's those tropical tornadoes that scare the bejeesus out of me! They spin up so fast that they often don't allow for much, or any, warning. There were some trees and power lines down, and some flooded roads, so of coures there were some power outages, but not widespread, thankfully. Only one small tree broke in half in "my backyard" - next to The Bog, right out my back bedroom window. The pair of Cardinals who live in the large shrubs under it must be okay, since I saw both of them today, diving in and out of cover under the portion of the broken tree that's still standing.  :-* :-*  I never lost power, thankfully, and the winds were gusty earlier today, till early afternoon - sustained winds were mostly only in the upper 20s, while gusting into the low-to-mid-50s. Still breezy, but not really gusty anymore, and the sun is out now, with cooler temps, but not as cool as Lisa's. Lots of small branches, twigs, and "green leaf salad" everywhere, but no other damage around my little 4-building courtyard. Balou, the Little Blue Heron, was fishing in the Retention Pond next to my building this morning, and Greta,  the Great Blue Heron, flew in, too. They're "regulars" at my Retention Pond, so I was glad to see them safe and sound.  :-* :-* All good here!  :)

I think dinner tonight might be the rest of my Idalia snacks.  ;)


G'night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

tsk & kb - You two have me hankering on chili now. 

Lani - Yes, it was wonderful to have the windows open today, and let some fresh air inside. 

E4E - Hope all went well with your labs.  How nice of your hubby to go hook up a new TV for your mom. 


Have a good night, Beakers.  I am going to bed early tonight, as I need to take a muscle relaxer.  I slipped in the shower this morning, and I am very sore.  I can laugh about it now, and replay in my mind how silly I looked with the shower liner and curtain coming down with me.   ::) ;D

BAZI  Thanks for your end of storm report and that you remained safe and sound.  I had planned to ask how the bog had faired - flooding? but from the sounds of it all remains well.

PAULIE  I can certainly sympathize  :o

LISA   Oh NO - Can't imagine anything worse than a slip in the shower.  Get a good nights sleep.  HUGS

KAREN   Sure hope you are OK

I just talked to karen, she is supposed to get her power back on by 10:00 tonight. She found her radio, so she can listen to the news. She said it is getting hot again!

baz, glad to hear you and Zippo are okay! That's all that really matters! Close call with the tornadoes, they are sneaky...

Lisa, I was able to have windows open today too! It only got to 81! 89 tomorrow and then into the 90s again... I had lunch with some friends from work today, one is here, he now lives in Tucson. It was good to see him, he was my mentor for all things mortgage...

Paulie, gotta watch those 'unneeded snacks'!  ;D ;D

tsk, Ed keeps bringing tomatoes in, I'm going to have to do something with them...they are taking over!

Lani, oh, still a few Puffins left!  Hope they get to take off soon!  Glad they are still being fed!

E4E, sweet of you and Kris to take care of Mom and giving her a tv! My sisters and I got a bigger tv for Mom last year for Christmas, hers was small. Dad would never get cable, but the last time he was in the hospital Mom let me get Direct tv hooked up. And he sure liked watching it! We are going to get Acorn tv for her this year, she loves the British shows.

Lisa, I can't wait to make chili, but it will be a shile until it gets cooler here. All I see in the 2 week forecast is high 80s, to mid 90s! Just not right for chili! I am going to make my Turkey Green Bean Chili too!  I'll send you the recipe if you want, it's delish!  Oh no, you slipped in the shower...hope you sleep good tonight.

Puff - I love hearing your memories & knowledge of places you have been - keep 'em coming! 8)

Kb - That is a beautiful pic you posted this morning.   Yum! I bet your homemade chili is delicious!   Yes - my mom was really happy to have a good working tv hooked up in her bedroom.  We hauled her non-working tv over to the destination in the apt complex for things like this.  Thank goodness there is a place to take your broken appliances and stuff and they will take it away from there.
So true - evidence of 'Fall' not temps, but wildlife . . . .

Lani - Love the Puffin pics!!  Are you still walking very early in the mornings with Sadie?

Tsk - I like where you said you walk a little faster and if not, too bad!! ;D

Bazi - I am so happy that you & Zippo are safe! :-*

Paulie - No need to feel bad about enjoying some treats/snacks - you deserve it  :)

LisaG - Oh no, so sorry for the tumble you took - take care and hope you are not too sore tomorrow. {{LisaG}}

Clynn - As I posted, I modified - thank you for posting about Karen's status.

Beakers be safe and hope all of you have a good nights rest/sleep.

Clynn, glad to hear Karen is getting her power back on tonight! Thanks for sharing her updates. Since it is clear skies here tonight, I looked out my front window a little while ago to look at that super blue moon - it was so pretty as it was rising above the closest rooftops! Gorgeous picture of it over Lake Superior! Ok, it sounds like I should've left my earlier post to 5 words... "Zippo and I are fine."

Tsk, yes, my end of the tropical storm was more than a rain event. I guess I over-shared. Many people don't know that a tropical storm often has dangerous, and sometimes life-threatening, effects, too. I am thankful there wasn't the widespread loss of home and property, and life-altering events, in my area, that so many suffered elsewhere. Many prayers for them. I have seen the suffering from loss like that from terribly destructive hurricanes in my state in the past. It's just awful - truly devastating for so many. Though on a greatly smaller scale, some people did have flooding in their homes up here, and trees through their roofs and on their cars, and such. And that tornado I mentioned, that made me run for cover, brought down two huge live oak trees, one of which went through a home, and the other landed on a car, and the person in that car was hospitalized. The news didn't have a status on their condition, last I saw. I hope they will recover ok. Neither The Bog, nor the retention pond next to my home, flooded. Both of them had their drains cleared well a few days before. You have stayed busy with your church this summer, and walking regularly, too! That's great! I stopped walking regularly after the extreme heat and humidity became a regular thing here this summer. I will start back with it when it cools down more, I hope. I need that exercise, but I just couldn't tolerate doing it in the conditions, and I wasn't up to getting out and walking very early. I hope Barb's trip, and the wedding weekend festivities, go well.

((Lisa)), oh no - I'm so sorry about your fall! I can only imagine how sore you must be. I hope you sleep well, and recover quickly.

((Paulie)), I didn't know about your fall. I'm so sorry. It's hard to be sidelined from your usual activities while recuperating. Take care, and keep on healing, and feel better soon!

E4E, that was nice to get your spare TV hooked up for you mom!

(((Karen))), I hope you have your power back on now! Fingers crossed! And then you can sleep in the cool A/C tonight, I hope! Glad you found your radio!

Lani, it's so sweet to see that Puffin parent with all the little fishies in its mouth for its little one.  :-*

Tig, I'm sorry Camper has been having an issue with his foot.

Phyl, I hope you feel better soon. Glad your hubby is better.

Hi to Puff, KB, Lori, Oldguy, BL, and All!  :)


Wishing a Happy and Restful Labor Day Weekend to All the Beakers!  :)

{{{SED Lisa}}} OUCH! Slipping in the shower is one of the worse! Been there and done that.  :o ... so glad you didn't break anything. Like yourself, the curtain and everything else can be easily repaired. Take care

Clynn, Thank you for updating us about Karen, she and Piper are fine, and by now her electricity should be back on. I hope so..... your mom will love Acorn, I stream Acorn and Britbox... Bob Barker a very handsome naval man.... I didn't know that about potting soil. YIKES! I'll have to look up how that can happen.

Eagles, Sadie and I walk every day, if it rains we go to the dog park. Sun, rain or snow, we get our walk in....

It will be a while before Jim is really 'better'. Doc changed his antibiotics and added Zyrtec/Claritin to the Flonase.
However, IMHO  he'd be wise to 'flush' his sinuses w/  pharmaceutical grade salt/ distilled water  like I do-

{{Paulie}} so nice to see visiting here; I remember you telling me about your spill the other day. Relieved to know you're mending.
    am I gonna have to wrap in you 'bubble wrap'?

Tsk cute Snoopy yesterday---bet his tummy's tender from Woodstock. How's Tim, Tom and Barb? 

CLynn  many tks for the Sydney  Sea Eagles update/photo and sweet hatchlings  :-*  ROTFL  the back of that semi truck, what a mind blow!
                     Great photo of dear Bob Barker.  You know we/I've kept potting soil bagged up in the garage in summer months and not once did it
                     combust---but then I push the air out of it after using.  :-\

Puff lived in Hollywood for a bit---window shopped  Rodeo Drive  and yes wore my most fashionable clothes when I did so/wore my shades too!

E4E pretty poppy good morning yesterday; that worked out well for your mom w/y'alls having a spare TV , timing was perfect.  I never knew bald eagles could fly at that height/altitude either.

KB lovely maples in Superior National Forest in Minnesota

Lisa it's bubble wrap for you too!   My first batch of chili will be on Halloween evening marking the beginning of 'Chili Season' for us.

Karen/  CLynn relieved that your electricity is back on!  Life will be better for you and Piper now. Hugs

I just talked to karen, she is supposed to get her power back on by 10:00 tonight. She found her radio, so she can listen to the news. She said it is getting hot again!

I'm relieved to hear that our SE Beakers baziunc & Karen are safe after Hurricane Idalia.   8)

She was a real humdinger in south Georgia from the little I was able to follow while out backpacking last week to yesterday.
We're back home now and are staycationing for the Labor Day weekend, as we do for most major holidays.
To many nut jobs/ weekend warriors out in the wildness and on the roads for my taste.   ::)
 
Baz you are so correct about TS's and their tornado's. We never underestimate them around here for sure.
Heck Super Storm Sandy (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sandy_2012_track.png) wasn't even technically considered a Tropical Storm when it made landfall (10/29/12) 120 miles south of us and we lost power for 10 days.  :o
On day 10 (11/07/12) when our power was restored it snowed 5 inches here. (http://climate.rutgers.edu/stateclim/images/Nov_7_8_2012_NJ_snow.png)   :o :o

Anyhoo, Karen I hope you get your power back on real soon. (https://poweroutage.us/area/county/222)  :-*

tsk & kb - You two have me hankering on chili now. 

Lani - Yes, it was wonderful to have the windows open today, and let some fresh air inside. 

E4E - Hope all went well with your labs.  How nice of your hubby to go hook up a new TV for your mom. 


Have a good night, Beakers.  I am going to bed early tonight, as I need to take a muscle relaxer.  I slipped in the shower this morning, and I am very sore.  I can laugh about it now, and replay in my mind how silly I looked with the shower liner and curtain coming down with me.   ::) ;D

Glad to hear your reports baz. WHEW - Not perfect but doable.  Still, watch your pace.  You had us all watching and praying for you and your nature managerie.

And for you Lisa  Two words --  Shower Bar!   ::)

clynn - Another window open day for me.  It is our last tho, as temps will be in the upper 90's tomorrow for the next week.  Yes, would love the Turkey Green Bean Chili recipe.   :D  Yikes on the potting soil.  I had no idea!  Do you do any canning, you could make tomato sauce with the tomatoes?

Phyl - Yes, I sometimes feel like I need bubblewrap around me.  ;D 

BrokenLug - Glad to hear you are back home, safe and sound for the holiday.

HI EVERONE

LISA   Hope you are not too sore today  :(

CLYNN   Glad KAREN was able to get in touch with you.   A work get together - fun to catch up. Tucson  - hot!   Had a meeting yesterday morning - Lugged about 50 Romas.  Got rid of them all.  YAY  Now likely to pick today again but I think we are getting near the end.    It used to drive me nuts when Tim would watch TV with the closed captioning.  Now of course necessary as he is hard of hearing AND when we are in the flight path planes fly right over the house in their landing/take off pattern and you can't hear anything esp when windows are open.  NOW I also have CC on when I watch British programs  LOLOL  Glad I have it. I ate my words.  ::)
I've never heard of potting soil exploding - Wow     Stunning "blue moon"

BAZI   I too only walk outside when temps are cool.  Barb - my SIL will walk in anything.  Not me.  But I do have a treadmill in the basement I use when too warm outside.  That is some storm when it will uproot huge live oaks.  Hope the person in the car is not too badly injured.  Hmm  wonder why they were in the car?  Thanks for the bog and retention pond update.

PHYL   " ber months"   ;D

BL   Backpacking - so that is why we didn't get your frequent weather reports  ;) ;)  Encounter any "wild"life?  :D

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Puff on September 01, 2023, 08:04:08 AM

Some don't know/didn't know?  Peat moss has much higher/dangerous content of ground up wood and natural growth material than potting soil.

Clynn  #1 prettiest blue moon pic! 

Ton put first bar in shower.  Both of us blessed the bar.  Another is on the step-in from garage to house.  Stopped at least 30 years ago using tub upstairs.  Wish I could convert -  $$$$.  Have one more on order from handyman to step up at patio to house - maybe even a railing.

Phyl Of Course Shades On Rodeo.

But nope on the leggings.  Claustrophic here!  Crocs and flips most of my time.  Maybe if snow reaches 1" I switch to gymmies or enclosed Crocs.  (Some don't know there's a line of "shoe style" Crocs.)  Andddddd - if snow makes 3" ? I'll put on socks.  Not a good affliction in snowy times.  Mostly (because of generous/bored/younger neighbor with blower) I can stay in and read, do small chores, etc 'til things open up.

BTW another age-induced effect I didn't know about.  (Loss of hair, loss of height, other body things that can't be fixed.)  Now have added knowledge of claustrophia becoming even worse.

BL, you stay away from the wildness on holidays like I stay away from shopping! Too many nutjobs roaming around...  ;D ;D  I remember Sandy, more damage than some hurricanes dish out.

Phyl, love the morning pic! Apples! Very interesting article about the mummified bees, 3,000 years ago is much easier to comprehend than 30 million years ago... 89 for our high today. 5 days in the 90s then a slow downward trend to 80 by the 15th. Fall is coming...  Never thought about the 'ber months!

Lani, you find the sweetest dog/cat good night pictures! Mike comes home today! I imagine you and Sadie are out walking right now!

baz, glad to hear that you and Zippe are okay! We have had water in the basement from torrential rains, it is devastating! Especially when it's the man cave which is chock full of stuff... :o :o

E4E, nice that your Mom's apartment complex has a place for those discarded appliances that are no good! We can buy stickers in our town and put items like that on the curb, then they get picked up. Big items are $35, most are $5, some $10.

karen, hope you are able to post this morning!

Puff, yes, it's the peat moss is potting soil that can ignite...it's rare but does happen under the right conditions. Peat is the main ingredient in Miracle Grow soil. I would love to drive Highway 1 down the west coast! I have been on 101 starting at Canon Beach in OR, down to Ashland and it is so beautiful. I think Highway 1 starts where 101 ends?

Sydney Sea Eagle Cam - Se McGregor  · UPDATE 1st - Sept. Our nest camera woke up tonight. As you can see by time stamp it still thinks it is 30th Sep (I fixed it after this). We don't know the cause of outage and the team are still going to check things out in the reserve tomorrow. Fingers crossed things stay fixed but it would be great to find out what happened.  --camera log files don't say much at all, just a date/timestamp for when it came back.

Waking up to a learning experience - just like Clynn, that reference Phyl made to the 'ber months is a new concept to think about.  New to me, too.

Just in case anyone is checking -- My nominations for the two best long ride trips:  The Pacific Coast Highway #1 and/or Highway 89A (from AZ to MT).  Scads to see all along both routes.  At least 10 days for sights offered along the way.
And don't forget I've driven 45-47 now, 47 when you add Alaska and Hawaii.

Beautiful USA!!!

Oh yes Tsk all the usual forest critters.
The 1st encounter we had last week was Sally the Timber Rattlesnake (https://raptorresource.org/raptorresource/forum/index.php?topic=2813.msg775523#msg775523) that we saw 20 years ago in almost the exact same location.
It was very exciting to see our old reptile friend once again.   ;D
She has a very sweet and mellow disposition as long as you keep the appropriate distance.

Had a pesky Back Bear that wanted to share one of our campsites, but she was rapidly dispersed with some good old pots & pans banging.  ;) 
Also had a huge old Porcupine that roamed into camp, biggest one I've ever seen in the wild.  :o
They are not as easily shooed away, so we just let her do her thing and watched.  8)

Good morning Beakers!

Tig - When our Printer tells us there is an update available and asks if we would like to update, we always answer no!!  Twice when we answered yes to this question on our Printer, it just led to problems.  Our Printer is pretty new - maybe about 1 year or so, and we don't use it very much.   I don't know what your issue is, but hope all works out nicely.

Baz - So happy you are safe and that the 'regulars' at your retention pond have flown in! :)

Lani - That is so wonderful that you & Sadie enjoy a walk each day! 8)

Phyl - Glad you are feeling better and hopefully the change in Jim's meds help him feel better soon.

Karen - So glad you & Piper are safe & sounds and hope that your electricity stays on. :)

Puff - Like hearing about the rides you've taken!

LisaG - Hope your soreness subsides soon.

The caption reads: Came home to this, and I only own the dog!...

speaking of wildlife, er um, in urban areas that is, LOL, came home myself to see a squirrel inside my screened in porch, other than the screen door open for Ollie...When it saw me it tried to get out everywhere other than the open door...almost wrecked my screen....he was just sitting on my couch, probably contemplating tearing up the towel I put on the couch to protect from dog hair!
Well, Ollie man, saw the same time I did, quickly ran into the porch, but luckily headed out and down the steps, missing a total disaster should he have stayed in the porch....no way out for that squirrel for sure...
Whew..Ollie has a dog door in the wall to come and go as he pleases...it's that time of year when squirrels are getting awful squirrely digging and preparing for winter.

Been busy running errands in preparation for a lady lunch!...first time all summer...has a lovely sort of indoor outdoor patio with ceiling fans so should beat the heat somewhat.
I will bring something home for Chris so no dinner making for me tonight! The menu:

Good Morning Beakers

Here is a post from Colorado Springs on the dangers of potting soil...
https://coloradosprings.gov/fire-department/page/potting-soil-fire-safety#:~:text=Today's%20potting%20soils%20contain%20very,ignite%20easily%20under%20dry%20conditions.

I installed 2 grab bars at MIL house - one on the shower and the other the front door where there is a 6" step down to the deck.  My sister did not have a grab bar on her tub - she was found on the floor next to it.

Yesterday was great weather here - partly cloudy and high of 81 - opened the door and windows last night - today heading for 85 and then into the 90s for several days again, but dew points much better - today in the 50s and then 60s, much better than last weeks mid 80s deew points...  next chance of rain is Tue.

Clynn, Yes, we were walking during light rain this morning. We had a quick thunder/hail/rainstorm late afternoon yesterday. One inch and a half of dirty rain water per rain gauge.  There was a dust storm in the valley... it dropped 24 degrees here right after that storm... what a relief! We're expecting more rain this afternoon and yes, Mike is gone his way home. He should be home by 1:30. Hopefully he will miss the continued holiday traffic up here. Town is packed with campers, and tourists driving through...  :-\ 

{{{Puff}}} "peat moss" thanks for the info.

Tsk, we've been using CC for years. I especially have it going for the British/Scottish mysteries I enjoy watching. 

{{{Lisa}}} shower bar and mat sounds like a good thing!  ;) ... rest this long weekend.  :-*

BL, you and Pip enjoy your "staycation", that's how we spend ours, lots of traffic in town... Tonto National Forest is full of RVs, ATVs, Campers, all enjoying the last summer holiday! And lots of lost dogs being found which is what always happens this time of year.  :(

Phyl, "ber" months! My favorite ones  ;D ... thanks for LiveScience articles... I pray Jim's new meds will help him. You both take care.

Eagles, I agree about what happens to printers when you click "yes"! Never again! We end up uninstalling printer and then reinstalling after a while. I hope you and Kris have family plans this weekend.  :)

Kb, awww the shepherd  :-* ... Sadie would have had a fit if she saw a squirrel on her territory! Enjoy your girl/lunch time!  :-*

Oldguy, thanks for info on dangers of potting soil... and the need for shower bars.

Tig, a good start to the holiday weekend and many possibilities of it getting even better.  :)

Hellgate Ospreys - 9/1 Welcome to September!
May your day be filled with hope, joy, and peace.

tig - Dinner out would be my choice...LOL

OG Funny part of the grabbers - No step at all once in shower, 1/2".  Garage step up maybe 'bout an inch.  "Balance" would be the main correction.  Patio step/door is a real 'dare you'.  It's about 2" with a door to be held upon use.  One added problem would be coming in either door with a grocery bag.  Cost?  $10  It's a gimme.

KB I'd drive it if the food as it is as tempting as the menu.

Home now....and of course the lunch was fun and delicious...Chris dropped me off and picked me up too!
Lisa - we've had the turkey sandwich before which is delicious, not yet tried the french dip, but you remind me!

I had the BLT which for the first time in many was a titch too smooshy....meaning they added tomato paste or the tomato or avacado made the bread a bit wet......hmmm?
.
Chris had the chicken sandwich and he loved it when we came home.

But mostly a friend get together which was just lovely as was the restaurant.

The caption reads: Came home to this, and I only own the dog!...

speaking of wildlife, er um, in urban areas that is, LOL, came home myself to see a squirrel inside my screened in porch, other than the screen door open for Ollie...When it saw me it tried to get out everywhere other than the open door...almost wrecked my screen....he was just sitting on my couch, probably contemplating tearing up the towel I put on the couch to protect from dog hair!
Well, Ollie man, saw the same time I did, quickly ran into the porch, but luckily headed out and down the steps, missing a total disaster should he have stayed in the porch....no way out for that squirrel for sure...
Whew..Ollie has a dog door in the wall to come and go as he pleases...it's that time of year when squirrels are getting awful squirrely digging and preparing for winter.

Been busy running errands in preparation for a lady lunch!...first time all summer...has a lovely sort of indoor outdoor patio with ceiling fans so should beat the heat somewhat.
I will bring something home for Chris so no dinner making for me tonight! The menu:

KB, I don't think that squirrel will come back in your screened porch.  ;D  Hmmm, regarding Lady Lunch and those menu options... Thanks, don't mind if I do... I wish I could go for the PEI Mussels, which I used to love! But I developed an unusual, and very nasty, reaction to eating them... a real surprise the first time it happened, too. I found out by research that it is a known response that some people develop, quite out of the blue, like I did!  Sooo... I'll start with the Lobster Guac instead - it says it's a share plate, so anyone can join me on that dish, if they really must... extra tortilla chips with that, please  ;) ... and I will follow that with the Proscuitto, Melon & Burrata, then the Tomato & Watermelon Panzanella Salad, then on to the Seared Sea Scallops with, yum! pork belly!  :-*  What?!?!? No dessert??!!??   8) ;D ;D ;D

baz - you are too funny....Pam did have the crab cake....yum, she said esp as she spent a great deal of time living in Massachusetts...she also is the only one who ordered a desert....a cake which we all did partake in!....when I lived in Los Angeles I ate most of the seafood mentioned esp loved the crab cakes....not from the Pacific ya know..but octopus and all others.

Since back home living in the Midwest I've ended up only eating Atlantic salmon and some tilapia....I'll have to expand my repertoire.....but I do kind of feel on a gut level and gut interest inclined to eat from the geographical area I live in....btw, I'm almost 100 percent Norwegian so I do love my butter, cheese and dairy!
If you get my gist.

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Since my Lady Lunch choices are pure "wish list" choices, I will be cooking something out of my freezer - you know I'm trying to get to the bottom of it so I can finally order a new refrigerator... and I'm making good progress towards that now, too. So I'm thawing the last two big sweet Italian sausage links, made in the store, and they are yummy. I will cook both, but save one to re-heat for another meal. I'm going to bake a small sweet potato - eat half/save half - and roast a yellow summer squash, sliced in half lengthwise. Ditto on eat one half, and save the other. So I will freeze and reheat the leftovers for the exact same meal some other night this weekend.  ::) And so it goes...

Take care, and have a relaxing weekend, Beakers!  :)


Oh... I forgot...  8)

PUFF   Glad to see you are taking care of a lot of those safety issues around your house.  Very smart move.  I'm training Lulu not to cross over in front of my feet as I come down the stairs in the AM.  Never have any of our cats ever done that.

CLYNN  I'm waiting for the day that Tim and I say " I can smell fall in the air today"  LOL  Back in the early 70's I met a friend in San Diego and we took the Pacific Coast highway up to San Fran where she had a cousin.  Took our time and was so glad to be in the inside lane south to north  :o  GORGEOUS   Had a little instamatic camera at the time - archaic in this day and age.   Sydney sea eagles  back up and running  ;D

BL   Thanks - that's what I wanted to hear   :o  Not too much phases you both.  Maybe raised by wolves??? ;) ;) ;)

KB   Front porch pic is SO funny  " I only own the dog"  LOLOL   Great.  A day out for you - Loved the PIC  Now I know who you went with so deleted my question  LOL  Menu looks like I'd have a hard time choosing.  Whoopee your porch remains intact  :o   Oh my  that tiny girl and heavy dog  :o

LANI   Like your Sept AM photo  True fall.   Mike back home and now cooking for two again  ;)

T40  It's not Saturday.... ;)    Cat with the tiny bottle at the edge - smart cat  ;D   OK  I jumped when the Blue Angel zoomed by  :o    24 hour flight thing was good too.

LISA  Are the bar and mat installed yet??  Maybe another day of aches and you'll be good to go.  I really overdid it three days ago and compounded it by dragging out my big Hoover upright which I use occasionally on my new carpeting for a deeper vacuuming of cat hair.  Even at the "high" setting that sucker was so hard to push.  Back muscles so sore I did nothing the day after   :P     48 hours I was OK.

LORI   Now I am really ready for fall to begin ...Tell the 90's that tho for the next 5 days .

BAZI  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D   I vote for 1 oz of dark chocolate daily as life saving  :D

baz, love the voices in your head, don't argue with yourself! LOLOL! Smart idea, making 2 meals at once! Holey moley, I need to follow your example and work on eating what is in the freezer.

karen called me (she has been charging her phone in her car), the power wasn't on at 10:00, they changed the time t0 12:30 and they missed that one too.  They hadn't given a new time when I talked to her...

Lori, love all your sweet September cuties and goodies! Love Autumn, I think we all do!  That cheesecake is so yummy looking! I am going to look up the recipe! Pumpkin is the word !

Lisa, sounds like you are pretty sore today, it's always worse the day after a fall in my opinion. Hopefully it will feel better tomorrow...

T40, love the Tony Baker, always funny! The first one was cute, the chattering cats!  Air traffic video crazy!

Lani, I can remember dust storms from when we lived near Phoenix. It even came through the screens on the windows, all over the place. That's where you needed one of those big car dusters!  I bet the forest smells so good after a rain, I have 2 pine trees and I love to walk around them after a rain... Iris, she is a beauty! She will soon be heading for southern regions...

Lisa- glad you got a good nights rest;
I have two vertical bars in shower for holding onto as I was my feet and step in and out---got them 12 yeas ago when I slipped and landed half in and out fo shower  landing on my left thigh during the height of my ITP had a welt 3" X 6" and it was solid black about 8" large that bugger took 3.5 yrs to heal as with ITP lack of platelets  prohibits healing and allows for constant bleeding under the skin.  It was agony.   Jeff can install those bars in no time!



Tks  :o  50 romas! Now it might be end of season  ;) Hope Jim/I ever need CC.; none of my kitties will cross over infront as I walk---they just sit on a riser waiting for a nudge  ::)  Lulu should train in no time;

Puff  ;) and Yes. on Hwy #1--- I was in my 30s and visited Dan in SanFran and rented a care and drove the Mission Hwy saw them all---each is about 1 day's walk from the other for the friers ---pictures are some where---'Vertigo'  w/Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart was filmed there-- But , scene where she races up the bell tower stairs in San Juan Bautista--alhought the towers are off limits and the one in the film was built on set for filming.  ;) Toured Hearst Castle a nd the  Winchester Mystery house just to name a few.

CLynn enjoyed the AM graphics aand  sayings; nice idea for city to p/u worn-out appliances. Tks for Sydney Sea eagle update, those eaglets  :-* :-* sleeping safely next to Mom; waterpark  ;)   'Baby Beatles' awwww cute little boys. Iris is lovely on 8-31

BL good idea to keep of the trails during holidays and all. Stay safe you two! Tks for the wildlife update  your spottings

Bazi always nice when the 'regulars' return  :); LOL on the chocolate thoughts; when I was single I ate 'leftovers'---alot!

KB enjoyed the photo of you, SSRL and Pam (Tig?) girls lunch sounds delish will eat my weight in seafood!; The photo of the young buck, dog and stray cat---one of your best ; 'Big dog baby is 'spoiled, spoiled spoiled!

OG tks for info on dangers of potting soil; Clair w/ DD door opening kitty-all mine have been able to open doors--- jump up ... turn the knob!

Tig a swim  ;)  and Camper's foot?

Lani cute  poolside chocolate poodle; hopefull Mike missed the holiday traffic;  tks for Hellgate and Iris's lovely 'Welcome' to September

T40- be safe on your adventures this Saturday! Tks for links---Tony Baker, chattering cats,  and all so funny.

Lori nice pumpkin treets this AM; Publix bakery makes a scrumptious  pumpkin cream roll ( like a jelly roll but w/ pumpkin cake and cream filling rolled up)

Hmm, I read some of the comments in my tweet pic of the smaller lady carrying her big GSD up the escalator.

Lookin for my lost shaker of salt. R.I.P. Jimmy B.

Close one this a.m. I moved my concentration to the city tree out the window... my cane was not therefore well placed and slipped off the carpeted step. Luckily I had a good grip on the railing so I managed to fall straight down to the step which left me sideways with feet in the spindles. I yelled out a bit as I tried to extricate my lower foot to stop my momentum to thwart a head first tumble. I was successful and sat for a few while my heart rate diminished and I answered Camper's query. A butt slide down two more steps put my feet on the floor. Phew. A bruise to the good ankle and a scathing "what the hell woman, concentrate!" to self. Grr

clynn - Awesome pics of Iris, and love the pics of the Baby Beatles!  Thanks for keeping us up to date on karen.  :)

tig - Thank you...still the same this morning, but I am gonna put a smile on my face and head to Walmart. Oh no, you took a tumble too!

Phyl - Oh my, that sounded like a terrible fall.  Yes, so sad about Jimmy Buffet!  Might be a Cheeseburger and Margarita kinda dinner in his honor!

karen - Yay on getting your power restored.  Thank heavens for linesmen!

Lani, glad to hear Mike made it home safely! I'm sure you had one of Mike's favorite dinners ready to go!  Harley is good at walking in front of Ed when he is headed downstairs! It's also funny when he takes the stairs so fast he only touches the steps couple of times, lickety split!

BL, some GOOD music there... try this oldie:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgxjcIqCpRM 

tig, sorry to hear about your ordeal, glad you made it through relatively unscathed. Concentrate! Very sorry to hear about Jimmy Buffett...may he RIP, he provided us with some good stuff...

Phyl, love the cat on the cabinet, kind of goes with this one:

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

LANI   Welcome to the football season  ;D

PHYL   Picked 25 more Romas yesterday afternoon.  Have two places I can bring them this week  LOL   Did not hear about Jimmy Buffet. :(

KB   Thanks for the Pam clarification - that didn't look like TIG from posts of herself  LOL  Didn't know that about dogs nails.

KAREN   YAY  We have you back - Give us some details - Scary?  Did you lose frig stuff?

TIG  Do we have to wrap you in bubble wrap too??  That fall sounds horrible .  Sure hope you don't suffer too badly from that.  (((((TIG)))))

Speaking of music. Wow!...I only found this young group yesterday..The Big Push is their name. Above is them singing "I shot the sheriff" (Bob Marley) in the streets of Britain...it's called Busking? who knew.
After a few years of street music they played in Britains largest stadiums only to end the group recently in part because one of them, Ren, has Lyme's disease...
Enjoy.

Happy Saturday all.
Tig - take care of yourself.
Heading out soon to buy food before potential crowds and of course the HEAT!

It's Caturday - morning Beakers!

Kb - I somehow overlooked reading about the squirrel inside the screen of your porch!!!  I bet that sure got Ollie excited!!  Glad it made its way back out real quick before too much happened. :o ::)   Love the pic of you & your friends!!  The menu looks so good - I probably would get the Turkey sandwich or the burger!
Love the vid of big dog baby! Lol  ;D

LisaG - Hope you feel a lil less soreness today and keep getting better each day.

Lani - Glad Mike is home and wishing you guys a wonderful Labor day weekend! 8)

I need to run for now - busy morning. BBL

Good Morning :)

Very nice to see Karen's return to Beak Room.

Karen, I'm glad you and Piper are okay.

Baz, You and Zippo too.

Lisa, Sorry about your slip/fall. Take it easy. I hope your soreness is gone soon.

Tig, You too! Reading what happened to you was scary. I'm glad it wasn't worse. Use ice and rest.  ;)

My two cents if I may. The saying goes .. "Things go in 3s." So Lisa, Tig, me ... Done! The RRP Forum is now closed to all slips and falls and any mishaps.  :)

Wishing everyone in Beak Room a pleasant day and holiday weekend.
Take care.

Pretty hot out there today.  Inside housework  :P

Happy Caturday Beakers!
Morning 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!

Paulie, LOL! Talons crossed! You mind how you go too! Have a lovely weekend. :-*

Kb, Take care out there!

Tsk, Just finished watching Morse series again, 2nd to last episode he shares his first name "Endeavor." I think the Endeavor writers did a excellent job of showing the intense relationship between Endeavor and Jim Strange, as Strange becomes his boss in the Morse series. In the Morse series, Morse has a hold on Strange that leaves the audience to wonder why? At least I did when I first watched this series many years ago...  I always thought Strange was jealous and intimidated by Morse, and Morse seemed to have general lack of respect for him, which was never explained....  And watching "Endeavor" it explains the reasons behind the complex relationship between the two men. I really enjoyed watching Morse again. I saw it through the eyes of Endeavor and why he became the solemn, curmudgeon to poor Lewis.  :)

Clynn, it's going to be a cool day, I'll make Mike his favorite dinner which is Pot Roast and potatoes.... Bee Gees  ;D .... awww RIP Jimmy Buffett... Hi Rosie, has Richmond left?

Eagles, Mike brought home lots of dusty limed covered clothes/boots. I had to vacuum his suitcase before I put it back up. LOL!

Lisa, ugh, Walmart on Labor Day Weekend... Mind how you go.  :-*

{{{Hugs Tig}}} I pray you won't be too sore later today. Take care.

Phyl, I was excited about the first game of the season. Not going to make it a weekly thing.... oh dear Fred is not a happy cat....

BL :)

Lani - Walmart was really not that crowded, believe it or not.  It was the traffic getting there tho. 

tsk - I got my non-slippy things for the tub/shower.  Jeff is putting them in now.   :)

paulie - LOL, yes, DONE for things happening in 3's in the Beak!

tig - Glad you are not over-doing it.

E4E - Thank you, and beautiful eyes on the morning kitty.

clynn - Great pic of Rosie.

Good afternoon Beakers!

Since we were in Tahoe earlier this week, I'm still doing some catch up - please bear with me - thanks!

Baz - I paged back to 8/28 to read your story of your favorite Uncle and those wonderful memories you have!!  He sure is an exceptional special member of your family!! ;D   Thank you for sharing!  :)

Lani - I know Mike came home to a sparkling house, as I looked back and saw that on one of those hot days, you stayed indoors dusting & cleaning the china & cabinets, etc.  Enjoy this weekend together  ;D
So sweet of you to remember 'Ming' and post of pic of her.  I know you have mentioned her many times in the past. :-*

Lori - I am so glad you mentioned about the plastic that is so deadly to so many animals that see it as food (especially floating in the water) and they swallow it with terrible results.  When my hubby was working, he used to take walks along the beach and would always pick up garbage and plastic left by beachgoers.    Even now, when we are out anywhere, we will pick up garbage. 

Phyl - So nice that you heard from your brother on your birthday and that all is good with him.  Nice too, that you received an email from Jim's youngest - very special!  I hope you are feeling much better now.  Make sure you celebrate your birthday when you feel like it. :)

Clynn - I finally looked at that lovely 'dream' home in Waukee, IA - gorgeous!  If it were here in CA, it would probably be a 2M home!

Oldguy - Just read that you installed grab bars at your MIL's.  My hubby did the same for my Mom last year; one bar is where she steps into the shower and the other is along the horizontal side of the wall in the shower.   

Lani - Actually, we do not have any plans for the weekend, but you never know! ;)    Yaaay - football season!! 8)
Your work never ends - Lol!! You had to vacuum Mike's dusty suitcase - and oh those dusty clothes & boots!  ;D

Tsk - Vacuuming is not my favorite thing to do, but with our Dyson, it is not too heavy to push around.  Good that your soreness was gone pretty quickly.   You have visited the Hearst Castle here in CA?!  I love that place. ;D

Clynn - Cute pics of the baby Beatles!!  Beautiful pics @ Hellgate Osprey cam!

Puff - I would love to see the Mission in Santa Barbara - maybe one day.    We have eaten at the Rocky Pt. Restaurant near the Big Sur area!

Phyl - Wow - you sure have been to Lots of wonderful places here in CA!!  I know you lived in CA in the past, but didn't realize you've been to so many places!!  Awesome  ;D    San Juan Bautista is only a 20 minute drive from where we live.  We've been to the Winchester Mystery House when the kids were young and it only takes about 1 hr 15 min to get there from here.  It's an interesting piece of history! :)

Karen - Hope you & Piper are fine and that your electricity stays on!

Tig - Oh no, that tumble you took, but so glad it didn't turn out worse - you did good at catching yourself the way you did.  Glad the ice helped!

Paulie - I like 'no more slips, falls, & mishaps' !!  I've heard that saying too 'things happen in 3s' . . . .

LisaG - Good for Jeff in taking care of the shower situation and making it safer for you. :)

Kb - Good point you made in mentioning that a Dog's nails can get caught in an escalator.  That dog's 'mama' was sure cute in how she picked him right up! :)

Hi BL  :)

Beakers have a nice afternoon.  Our neighbors are gone for the holiday weekend and they've asked me to feed their pets, so I'm going to head over there now (its just across the street). :)

LANI   Cute pic  Peek-a -boo or scared?  LOL   That should be a good project for me this winter and get the story from the beginning and not hit and miss as I did.  I'm making a list of winter things to do besides my jigsaws  LOL   Thanks for your assessment of the series. :)    I can just see Mike being vacuumed before entering the house. ;D

EAGLES      At that stage in my life I just remember how impressed I was with the castle ( I was probably about 23yrs.)  Formal gardens impressive.

KAREN   How did it go for you today?

LISA   How do you like your new shower install?

Barb should be landing about now - home from the wedding - Can't wait to hear all about it.

Housework on weekends...bah-humbug!!      Fred is a real 'snot ' of a kitty!       If 'things' come in '3's' then I've been due for a 'third' for a long time.  :o


Lisa- might be time for a margarita---haven't had one in a long time. LOL

KB will have to listen to your band tonight. Tks

Tsk your neighbors are well supplied  in tommy-toes; glad Barb landed safely---weddings are always fun to hear about with all the decor and clothes/local

E4E sweet Himalayan kitten this AM all comfy in it's hammock;  Grauman's Chinese theater, Hollywood walk of fame, Universal STudio tour, Olivera ST in LA; Sacramento state cap bldg; Brown Derby... ;D it all was such fun! Help to have relatives there.  Paul is 5th of five and the most like his dad and we get on so well.


{{{Tig}}}   Stay  on couch,  rest and heal. I'm running out of bubble wrap!!  :-*

Lani Oh that kitten's expression!  Actually... I'd rather enjoy seeing all the team helmets! So Mike's back home all safe and sound?  Vaccum cleaners wonderful  ;)

Happy Caturday evening!  Had a great weather day today with a high of 86 and a low tonight of 69!  Wind of 5 mph out of the ene!  Poser went off for an hour this afternoon!  Tomorrow’s high will be in the 90s and will stay there for a week or too before dropping to the high 80s.  Still summer in se Ga. But today was great! This morning I had a work crew here to clean up my yard!  They basically piled debris in spots in the yard.   The 4 man crew was a women's boyfriend and her 3 sons .   The youngest was 10 and the oldest maybe 16!  They used to be neighbors of My wonderful vet!, begore a divorce!  I have mot been able to reach my usual lawn folks as they are in the hardest hit part of the county and in Florida!  I hope they are okay and that phone service will be restored!
Piper and I are basically fine!  I found a dead tree frog on the livingroom carpet and of course Piper found the
 dead bird!   She did not react to the storm at all except to remind me that you have to pay the electric company if you want power!
Baz and bl and the weather channel and old guy and the news have covered the storm exceedingly well so I will only add that Valdosta has never had a hurricane before.  Brushes with ts and tornados but not this! I hear my town made the Chicago Tribune!  Piper and I want to thank everyone for their prayers and concern!  That sure helps!   I have lived through these in. Mobile but they were kind of expected there.

Enough!  I am sorry to read about the 3 falls and hope there is a fast and complete recovery for all! Pauli, you are lucky you did not knock your teeth out!  A friend did!  Also your eyes! Lisa, I have a no slip map in the shower, a chair, a hand held shower thingy and 2 bars inside and one outside!  I have a lot of bars in the house! And I have railing down the steps from the front porch and one hand rail from the screen porch to the patio.  Tig, do you move too fast to accomplish your list?  Remember, everything will be there tomorrow!

I have visited Rodeo drive and did make some purchases!   Great shopping.  I have been in much of California and found the weather great. Good scenery and nice people!   When I graduated from college, California was the place a lot of my friends wanted to relocate to!

More later, like tomorrow. Tsk, tell us about the wedding!

Eagles, I would love to see the Winchester House. Nice of you to take care of your neighbor's pets. Dog or cats or fish or turtles or all four?  ;D I met someone here who has a rock turtle. It hibernates in their Payson's home closet for the winter. And they leave for their winter home in Tucson.  ??? .... enjoy your weekend too!  ;D

Tsk, I wait and vacuum Mike after he's in the house. I don't want to scare the poor guy. How do you think we made it to 53 years! LOL!  ;) ... you'll enjoy all three series this winter.  ;D
Looking forward to hearing about the wedding.  :)

Phyl, I'll bring out the helmet  ;D .. awww Honey Bee, it's a sweet story, I was teary too... Bless her and her forever family :-* I couldn't get it with your link, so I cut & pasted the title and the link popped up for me.

Karen, it's great to see your post and know you and Piper are well... also, you've got good help with the cleanup and all! Dead tree frog and a dead bird  :(  ... good to know Piper wasn't frightened of the storm. Sadie would be hiding in the closet.... Take care.

Oldguy, Good night with the cards! ... one of the cutest Santi videos! LOL! Gen Z roly poly Hedgehogs, kibbles, cats and Walter! Hedgehogs really curl up tight as a button. Poor little guy or gal.  :-* ... Congrats to the Iowa Hawkeyes!  ;D

Heading for 95 today which will break the 1999 record of 90 for today..

PHYL  Was unable to open the link to blind kitty   :(    Reading on - I'll do what Lani did for that link.  SIL Barb got in late yesterday so may talk with her today about the wedding.

KAREN  Thanks for that great report but how on earth did a tree frog end up in your living room??? Was the dead bird that Piper found outside? You vet is such a wonderful person to always look out for you and get you that crew to clean up your yard so soon.  Did you lose the food in your frig?

OLDGUY    You are good at cards and overall win more than you lose  ;) ;D   Glad to hear you don't have to Labor tomorrow.  Is Xmas up at the big box?  Great piece on the Gen Z hedgehogs  ;D ;D

LANI   Funny story about the neighbors rock turtle  Very accomodating pet.  ;D

One of several drone pics of our Minnesota State Fair....not my cup of tea anymore...but pics were lovely.

Took a shortened walk with Ollie earlier....too dang hot out with high humidity. Looking forward to Wednesday when cooler and more average temps settle in..

Phyl, I had to snicker at the name African Wild Ass, but it is a beautiful variety of donkey! Never heard of it or even saw a picture of one before! We will get to 97 today, as summer hopefully goes out with a bang this week! I see some 79s in the near future forecast... Love the story of Honey Bee, what a good kitty and loving human, I found a link to it also!

Lani, I am trying to picture you vacuuming Mike...  ;D

oldguy, congrats on the cards! Great Walter Santi video! Your team would be mine too, although we also root for the Clycones (Erin married into a Cyclone family...), and they also won! They came over yesterday, Erin and Bella in Hawkeyes wear and Sydney and Talon in Clyclones wear - it's a family thing!

tsk, I am also making a list of things to get done this winter! Hmmm, I have only heard of the '3 rule' linked to deaths...never heard it linked to falls!

E4E, vacuuming is how I was introduced to sciatica years ago, I vacuumed the whole house in one day and it did me in. That is why I pay Erin to clean my floors, I just can't do it! I do manage touchups between cleaning, but just a little at a time.  I would love to visit Hearst Castle, I love touring mansions! That is what we always want to do when we have a 'sisters' trip!

Lisa, sounds like you are getting better, and yes, the traffic getting somewhere on the weekends is the worst. The last time Mom was here I got some of those hand bars for the shower, and they are still in use! They do come in handy! I just read on FB that you and Jeff have been friends for 9 years!

tig, best to take it easy after a fall, you should just have a lazy Sunday...

Romeo & Juliet's Hamlet Nest - Diana Lambertson  · Gabrielle and V3 are both home at NEFL!  Woot! Woot!  Let the season begin.  And they immediately moved Samson's stick to the rails ❤

James Taylor - Jimmy Buffett invented his own character, which, in a sense we all do: invent, assemble, inherit, or fall into our inner identity. But Jimmy was the founder of an actual tribe: tens of thousands of us made our way to where he was holding court, just to be near him.
People say he was a lord of life and that’s true: somewhere between Falstaff and the pirate, Jean Laffite. But to me, my friend Jimmy Buffet was a real example of a man: no puffed up defensive macho bullshit, but a model of how to enjoy the great gift of being alive. And that’s what he shared so generously with us: a positive enthusiasm at being here. That so few of us knew how ill he was is essential Jimmy Buffett: he had no intention of burdening us with his illness.
He told me a story about him and Savannah wake surfing in a harbor somewhere: there was a huge freighter leaving port and Jimmy got the captain on the radio. The guy was a ParrotHead and he adjusted his course and speed to give Jimmy the perfect ride. And what a ride it’s been. So long old pal.

Phyl - Hope you and Jim are feeling better.

karen - Glad to had some help with the storm clean-up.

oldguy - Yay on your cards, and team winning.   

clynn - Yea, can ya believe that...FB friends for 9 years!  ;D  Great pic of JT & JB!  Hope its a good season at NEFL!

Well kb, I will take your humidity of 60% over mine at 80!

Up early to the sound of chain saws!  The new neighbors next door are having all the pine trees in their yard cut down!  Some of the 14 or more in my yard can still hit their house!  These are the long leaf types that are like telephone poles with branches and needles at the top!  A friend of mine thought I was talking about the Christmas tree variety!   Any way , these neighbors are using a group out of Houston!  I am not sure about them!  Not on the internet!  Should take a few down here but will wait until this is over and hire a local business!  Worry about the birds and squirrels who nest in these trees.  Have a damaged red but to take out which is easy but the hummingbirds perch in it after eating so I will wait until they are gone to take it down!  Btw, I was thrilled to see that they survived the storm!
Tsk, i did not have much in the fridge that I had to throw out!  The freezer was a different story!  Will take a tax deduction on that, yard clean up cost screen replacement, etc.   the dead bird was in the yard.  A mocking bird, found by Piper.   I do nor know where it is at this time.  I guess the tree frog hopped in from the screen porch ehen the doors were open or, Piper brought it in.  I doubt that as she pointed it out to me but ignored it.  I gave is a proper water buriel?

Morning!

cloudy - chance of isolated shower - high of 72

Tsk - We last went to Hearst Castle in 2017 with my cousin & her hubby.  We tend to go every few years or so, as they have several different tours. Needless to say that Spring/Summer/Fall are best as the gardens are so beautiful!       Have you gotten to catch up with Barb and hear about the wedding? :)   Looks like your temp will be very warm today.

Phyl - Paul sounds like a gem in the family.  :)    You have been to places in CA that I have not made it to! ;D
Thank you for posting the critically endangered donkey article - the little one is such a cutie. :-*

Karen - So great to see your post!  So wonderful of the clean up crew, especially the Mother and her 3 sons - sounds like a great group of nice folks to help you.     Very happy to know you & Piper stayed safe.    Just read more of what you said;  wow, I didn't know you have lots of trees!  Amazing that the hummers that fly into the red tree survived!   Too bad about your food in the freezer. :(   Take care and don't overdo yourself.

Oldguy - Enjoy your day off today as you well deserve it! 8)   Good for you in the hands you won at card night!  I will go back to look at links. :)

Lani - You correctly guessed some of the pets that my neighbor has although no cat, they have a dog, rabbit, fish & huge outdoor turtle!  I always take their dog a little treat from here (but I have asked them if it is ok to do this, and they've said yes its fine)! ;)   I don't know if their turtle is a 'rock', but it is large; probably weighs between 30-40 lbs.      You & Mike have a wonderful weekend  8)

Kb - Pretty pic of the MN State Fair!  I listened to the weather report on our local tv and looks like MN could have record breaking heat today. ::)   Hope you, Chris and Ollie stay cool indoors.

Clynn - I have to be careful with my sciatica too.  Everything I do, I try to take care not to overdo my sciatica, lower back & hips. :-[ ::)    That is so wonderful that you have your sisters to do fun things whenever you can all get together! ;D
Love the pic at the Hamlet nest!   Thanks so much for posting James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett - great pic!!!   Just saw the tribute pic of JB - very nice.

LisaG - You & Jeff FB friends for 9 yrs!! ;D

Tig - Thinking of you and hope your soreness is a lil better.

Hi Puff, Bazi, Paulie, Lori  :)

All have a nice day - stay safe if traveling

some bounce
Tnx... Neck, shoulder, etc. some very minor twinges, left knee is more sore. Yes, resting today. Tennis, NASCAR, Twins.

Clynn... Thanx for the tribute by J.T. He is my favorite.
E4E... Hi. I've been flexing when up. Maybe tomorrow I'll do some more here at home since the Y will be closed.
TTFN

Oh... And... I'm reading a book by a MN author that has references to Raptors and Raptor Rehab. It is a page turner. A mystery. Maybe give it a try? I'm about 3/4 of the way through. Can't wait to find out who done it.  8) The Deep, Deep Snow, by Brian Freeman.

Post by: kbshcb on September 03, 2023, 11:43:07 AM

Hi Eagles4 - yup record breaking temps today and tomorrow likely...about 100....that's why I had to leave earlier this am with Ollie...and a few blocks shorter...even with that he was tired/slowed down the last block or so before home.

sounds like a great book tig...I have about 4 on my kindle i have yet to read and reading a hard cover book at the moment....so I best get reading...but, I read more in the winter so they won't go to waste for sure.

My flag was dropped off yesterday..and the girl scout? and Mom were out there having a hard time finding the plug that covers the deep hole the flag sits in...I got down on my hands and knees and then the little girl did and she found it..It used to always be a job for the Boy Scouts but I think they've merged them now?..not sure.
I told her to tell them they need to dig a different hole for the flag about 6 inches further from my address marker pole with directional sign on top as the flag catches on it...at times tearing it....I go out there often to correct it...can't move the post nor directional sign, I tried..this time I noticed as soon as they put it up, it already had a tear in it, so now it catches even easier....

Will stay up till after Patriot Day...Sept. 11...hopefully they will do what I suggest before Veteran's Day or next year.

I thought about taking the flag out of it's hole, and bringing it up to my porch and hand sewing the tear at the border?....not sure if that's appropriate or not....too hot today but maybe next week.

E4E - Cute lil morning greeting.  We were FB friends longer, but we deleted each other to test something out, so it cut our friendship.  ;D  ::)

tig - Glad to hear that you are resting today.  Sounds like a good book.

KB   Very cool pic from drone of the Mn fair - so colorful at night and obviously well attended.  What city is that held in?   You're right - flag pole has to be moved!

CLYNN  I think we just created the "3's" linked to falls.  ;) ;)   NEFL  all set and up and running  :)   Beautiful reflection by James Taylor.  Nice phot of Jimmy B.   Jimmy at heaven's gate  LOL    Parallelograms  LOLOL

LISA   No wedding report today as Barb is tied up.  We are meeting for breakfast tomorrow. :D  She got down there Thurs afternoon and wedding was 6 PM Friday Her flight on Sat was 2:30 but the grooms Mom had a brunch - So her time was filled.  I texted her when she was waiting to get on the plane to ask if she was exhausted.  She answered - just tired of talking!!!  LOL  Barb is a very sociable person.

KAREN    " water burial"  LOLOL  Lots of outdoor work to be done but like you say can all wait til things settle down - Always scammers out there.

EAGLES - Will meet Barb for breakfast and get the scoop tomorrow.  What kind of dog do the neighbors have?  You are nice to do that for them.

Happy Sunday Beakers!
Hi 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, I've repaired our flags before, I never thought to ask if it was okay or not. Maybe I should have. Glad you have your flag up, oh I see why you're thinking about moving it...  take care and enjoy your book this warm weekend.

Eagles, I missed a rabbit! That's a big turtle, my neighbor's is about 10 lbs and growing. My sciatica bothers me if I sit too long in one spot or long car rides. Then I get this shooting pain from knee to lower back that gribs me for awhile. I prefer traveling by car then by plane. I haven't been on a plane since 2003. Mike's doing his end of the month work/travel expenses today. You and Kris have a good day  8)

Tig, thanks for book recommendation! Rest and enjoy game day on the screen and your good book.

Karen, you have a lot more trees than I thought... sorry about the freezer food... glad the hummingbirds made it through the storm.  :)

{{{Lisa and Jeff}}} Congratulations, 9 years of friendship! ;D

Clynn, I would never try that on Mike. LOL!...  Well in giving it more thought, I think I did that back when we lived in Scottsdale and he came home after a dust/rain storm went over a job he was doing in Buckeye. What he mess, he had raccoon eyes. I don't think I allowed him out of the garage, and gave him a swim towel. I know when he was working with his brother with their road asphalt/milling paving, he would come home with oil and tar all over him. Some clothes I could clean, sometimes I just threw it away after a job.... Hawkeyes/Cyclones in your family. Our family was split as well Kansas Jayhawks and Mike's mom/dad/granddad were K-state Wildcats. A fun rivalry. I miss those days.  :)... Samson's sticks  :-\ :'( the NEFL nest no longer holds  the same meaning for me, but I'm glad both eagles came through the storm fine .... a very nice tribute to JB by JT.... a well spent hour on FB! LOL!!! ... take care  :-*

Kb, the drone pic would be a great puzzle!  ;D

Tsk, except they allow their turtle to roam their home during awake time and it pottys where it wants to.  :-\. Their cats get along with it  :)

Phyl, Gorgeous donkey, I hope they will continue to thrive and hopefully someday will no longer be considered endangered. I'll read your article later.

Tsk you know I search for the original link for 'Blind Kitty' as I found it on Pinterest ... know for some reason no one here can open a Pinterest link.
C'est ma faut. Je surppose' . Je n’ai pas vérifié le lien Internet. I went back to check and I can't open the BoardPanda link either.   Lunch getogether sounds great good time to get the skinny on the wedding.  :)

Karen ditto Tsk query, on food in fridge.  Oh, just saw your answer.  Suspect the wind blew the frog around and it took shelter anywhere it could 'squeeze' in. So sad about all
those evergreens and the critter that live in them. You know, if your trees hang over the fence between you and your neighbors---they can trim what hangs
over on their side.  :(  At least the last I heard.  Also not only a tax deduction on spoiled food but insurance claim if over you deductable.  Keep receipts when you replace.

KB very pretty  drone photo of your Minnesota State Fair; sure hope Mr & Mrs Tower return I've enjoyed hearing about them.   Personally, I just let them tatter and then send off to  'Stars For Our Troops Inc."   They  cut the embroidered stars out and mount on small cards with an inscription saying the tire/worn flag has flown other the United States etc... The rest of the flag is incinerated according to government etiquette, etc.  US Flag rules: https://www.bing.com/search?q=us+flag+rules+and+regulations&qs=AS&pq=us+flag+rule&sk=AS2&sc=10-12&cvid=56F79B2F853140B586918549965669CF&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=3&lq=0 (https://www.bing.com/search?q=us+flag+rules+and+regulations&qs=AS&pq=us+flag+rule&sk=AS2&sc=10-12&cvid=56F79B2F853140B586918549965669CF&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=3&lq=0) But each to his or her own.  ;)

CLynn I too LOL'd the name African Wild Ass. Indeed a lovely donkey!  Okay some helmets need captions I don't know al the teams.LOL 
    Mom /GrandMa always said 'things' come in threes'. Albeit bad or good.   And, "things never happen the same way twice.'   Appreciate the update on
    Romeo/Juliet and the JT and JB story and all. Interesting/great photo to them

Lisa Congrats on the '9 year Friendship with Jeff"

I've been following along with all the talk re The Flag.  Last week I had the neighbor's come  over and mount my new one.  Bought it back in June, but trying to hook up with a friend is also a tall friend, plus between the two times I was out of commission or hanging out at Good Sam, well it just didn't happen until last week.  Brand new to celebrate Labor Day.  Looks so pretty.  8)  Also found a solar flood light that's been gone for at least 10 years.  Ton said it was fine without - not according to the flag rules.  Well anyway, it is now lighted at night again.  And, BTW, I've had to replace my flag a few times over the years here (52).  When they stay up and out, the weather makes their life about 5 years.

But the neighbor kid replaced this one for me (he's a convenient 6 feet), folded it up gentle and thankfully for its service, and took it to the local Ace Hardware who has a nice service along with local Vet's to collect the flags in a circular container and give them a proper service and burning.  My Ace also gives a discount if you purchase a replacement from them.  I buy mine from Annin Flag Makers.

Maybe we could say kind words for my neighbor Michael.  He was Ton's best friend, helped us and now helps me a lot.  He said he'd launch the flag when he got back from a couple short trips.  Left on the last one in August, he and three other Harley bikers, for a ride down to the Smokies and up through PA and Ohio.  Trip back included an accident for him.  One of his buds drove him back - all he could do is lay out in the back seat.  Not at all a good thing for Michael.  He had to retire early from Darien police when someone who ran him down while he was doing traffic control.  I've seen the scars on his legs, both legs, groin to ankles.  We've also seen the xrays.  There has to be 60-70 % bone replacement with metal rods.  He had to retire with disabilities.  Minor damage also to back and hips.  All this from that other accident.  Now he's not even walking with the new damage.  Has told wife, Julie, he doesn't want visitors or calls.  But he did give me a wave yesterday from the ride he got as he had to go to a MD apppointment.  I'll call Julie after Labor Day.  Julie's son is the one who mounted the new flag for me.     

Since we have several of us online here with knees, backs, shoulders, whatevers, we can only image the pain/discomfort/inabilities he's now going through.  Makes me cry.  I hope God is generous with the comforts he gives Michael.

Puff, that is some tale of woe!   Poor Michael!  I cannot imagine how he rides a motorcycle , or did he go in a car to watch them?

The next time you need a flag, call your Senator and they will send you one that was flown over the  Capitol!  A nice thing, I think!  I worked with a young lady who was on the last helicopter to leave the US embassy in Saigon.  She had to decide quickly if she would go or stay!  She left her family (she was single, no children)  and every thing she had and her journey was not easy.  Anyway, when she took her citizenship exam the only question she missed was related to Ted Kennedy.  I called his office and explained that she lived in Virginia but given the circumstances of her missed question, I wondered if they would send her a flag to help celebrate her citizenship!  They were delighted and he enclosed a great personal note!   She was thrilled!
Thanks for all the funnies today snd for the nest and bird reports!  Hope all stay safe!  Seds

Nice things happen because there are a lot of nice people around.  Last flag was given to me local VFW, and they mounted it.  I donated at the 4th of July parade they also operate.

No Karen, Michael also had his bike.  Operative word is had.  The fellow who brought him home rented a car for the two of them.   Michael paid for the flight back for friend to bring his own bike home and check on the condition and prognosis of Michael's bike.   Don't know the current condition of Michael's since we haven't talked.  Michael's was 2 years old.

Puff - Oh no, sorry about your friend Michael and the accident he needs to heal up.  Wishing him all the best and a full recovery.  I really do wish Michael all the best - especially since he was a best friend of Tons.

Karen - You & Piper have a nice evening.

Kb - High temps in your area - good thing you walk very early!  Awe, lovely flag - hope it gets worked out.  Wow, the MN state fair is very huge/amazing. :o ;D

LisaG - No matter the long FB friendship - I would say you guys are more than friends!! :)

Tsk - Poor Barb sounds exhausted!  Neighbors dog could be part golden retriever and border collie, but not sure.  She is a pretty dog.

Lani - I too, can't sit very long without moving - sciatica lets me know when I need to straighten out my hips & legs!  Have a wonderful Labor day tomorrow!   You had asked if we were having a family thing;  yes, my mom & sis are coming over tomorrow, and we will sit outside under the gazebo at the table and enjoy a couple of hours chatting & reminiscing and a bbq.  ;D

Phyl - You definitely have lots of memories of all the places you visited while living in CA!!

Karen - What a nice story of the lady you had worked with and the flag. That was such a special flag she got for her citizenship.  Your phone call was an important one. 

Beakers have a good evening - sleep well - SEDs.

Phyl, sounds like you have a great Labor Day menu planned! I haven't decided what we are going to have yet! Hope you and Jim are feeling better every day!

Lani, I also love watching the videos of Manaaki and the Quarry chick together! Their communication is so cute! Those good night kitties with their slippers on are precious...

BL, good music again...

E4E, we have our little ways to deal with the sciatica, I do the same thing you do! Have a wonderful time with your Mom and Sis today!

Puff, what a terrible ordeal for your good friend Michael...he sounds like a good person, I hate it when good people are hurting...  My Dad put the flag out every morning and took it in every evening at sunset...up until the day he just couldn't do it anymore. Mom tried to carry on but now she just isn't able...

karen, that was so thoughtful of you to arrange for a flag for the girl from Viet Nam!

Lisa, are you still moving slowly?

HI EVERYONE

PHYL  I remember years ago before we had a generator and lost power for 5 days!  We lost everything from 2 frigs.  Insurance did not cover.  Didn't know it could be claimed as a tax deduction ..

PUFF   What an awful thing to happen to Michael who I met and spoke with at Tony's funeral.  I thought he was such a wonderful neighbor for you having been Ton's friend for so many years.  Let's hope for quick healing on what ever the diagnosis turns out to be.

KAREN  Interesting story about your co worker from Saigon.  Can't imagine a citizenship test with a Ted Kennedy question  ???( Maybe " Who was his brother?")  Super cool what you did to get her a flag..

EALGES  Have a restful family day today

LANI     ;D ;D the slippers on the kitties.

CLYNN  Love the banding of the chicks.

A pied mossy frog.....incredible camouflage....

Happy Monday all....for me excitedly it's back to school soon day!..some of your districts have been back awhile now...not Minnesota public schools..and, my neighbor's 5 year old starts Wednesday...I don't mind the noise of children but when one allows screaming (and inspiring his friends) for up to 6 hours at a time constantly, well, now you know why I'm celebrating today!....LOL

and historically May Day is more of a celebratory workers day than Labor Day, which was a day worker's lost, the Pullman strike, and President Cleveland just 6 days after he stopped it made this Labor day for a distraction.
So it's actually boss' day today...LOL

Anyway, it is a day off work for many and a day to visit friends/family...that's the good news.

clynn - Still moving slowly, but I can tell that the bruise on the inside is slowly going away.  I can sit down without it hurting too much.  I love the RRP pic of them banding the falcons.

Tsk it was for us---under contents/power outage and always subject to deductible. If the loss is less than the deductible---no paym'nt. Didn't know about the tax deduction either---but, if true,  I'm sure there's a qualifying amount

KB mossy frog , yep amazing camo

E4E we had cheeseburgers last night---Wendy's as I don't 'cook' on Sundays. Sadly no tequila for Margaritas . When we first moved to Nashville  we had
visited JB's Margaritaville too.  This city isn't at a loss for eateries, bars or churches.

Clynn  The article you quoted on JB was golden.  Thanks

More explaining flag steps. . .My flag pole is 7+ feet.  I'm now 5'1".  That makes that top latch a bit high for mah.  And remember, Ton was always shorter than I.  Ergo, put flag on a pole and leave it there.   First, let me repeat, I've now put a light on it - rules are if it's in the dark the flag is to be illuminated.  To show proper respect and lengthen life of the flag, the pole is mounted by the entrance to the front alcove.  It is also on the east side of the house, giving it some extra protection of storms and wind.

No one else is displaying permanently, but more of them have started posting their flag now too.

Cute saying made me smile today -
You can't tell me what to do. . .You're not my cat!

Puff, that is some tale of woe!   Poor Michael!  I cannot imagine how he rides a motorcycle , or did he go in a car to watch them?

The next time you need a flag, call your Senator and they will send you one that was flown over the  Capitol!  A nice thing, I think!  I worked with a young lady who was on the last helicopter to leave the US embassy in Saigon.  She had to decide quickly if she would go or stay!  She left her family (she was single, no children)  and every thing she had and her journey was not easy.  Anyway, when she took her citizenship exam the only question she missed was related to Ted Kennedy.  I called his office and explained that she lived in Virginia but given the circumstances of her missed question, I wondered if they would send her a flag to help celebrate her citizenship!  They were delighted and he enclosed a great personal note!   She was thrilled!
Thanks for all the funnies today snd for the nest and bird reports!  Hope all stay safe!  Seds

Karen, I love that story of your friend from Saigon!  :)  So good to see you back in The Beak! And so glad you and Piper are safe, and hope all the storm cleanup and repair will not take too long.  :)  P.S. I find dead tree frogs in my house from time to time. They mummify!  :o It's always unsettling when I find one - not often, but a handful over the 17+ years I've been in my current home. I'm always sad to find one - I just adore them, and try to be on the lookout for them when I open and close the door, especially at night. They can get past you so easily without getting noticed, and I've never had one "chirp" inside the house - they must stay silent as a defense mechanism so as not to be found. I have managed to chase down and catch a few over the years when they tried to hop in through my open door by surprise, and then I can put them back out in a safe spot. I imagine the one you found hopped in, surreptitiously. Glad Piper ignored it. Sorry for the dead Mockingbird, too. Maybe it was a natural death. Hopefully, Piper left it alone, since it could've had an illness. The wild bird websites all recommend not handling any dead bird you come across, for that reason - or to use gloves, or a shovel, or what-have-you, to wrap it in newspaper or a bag, and dispose of the carcass, and the gloves used to handle it. Sadly, there have been a couple of highly contagious illnesses spreading among songbirds the last several years, and Mockingbirds are a known species suffering from that. I think you're smart to hold off on the tree work... I hope your neighbors hired a legit company... so many stories of the opposite doing that kind of work after big storms. Fingers crossed for them.

KB, they had hot-as-forty-hells days while she was in Minneapolis, and then some days were just very, very hot. I don't remember which day they had the day they went to the State Fair, but I think it was just very hot.  ;)  She said they had a great time at the fair!

Puff, I'm so sorry about that awful accident your friend and neighbor, Michael, was in. I hope he finds comfort and healing.

Tig, NO! I'm NOT watching tennis!!!  >:( >:( >:( Because! Disney and Spectrum/Charter are having a contract dispute. Of course, both sides claim it's the fault of the other... waaaa, cue the violin music, and cry me a river full of their millions of dollars!! ... All I know is I pay big bucks every month for a list of channels, many of which I now can't view till whenever their dispute is settled, if ever!  Meanwhile, Disney has pulled all their 27 channels from my Spectrum Cable TV lineup - which includes, in addition to the very many Disney channels, the suite of ESPN channels, including my collegiate ACC Channel (part of the ESPN family), ABC Sports channels, FX, Freeform, all the NatGeo family of channels, and I don't know what all else off the top of my head right now. So... I only got to see the 1st round of the US Open!! And yesterday, the ABC Network televised a few hours of the Round of 16 during the day, so I got to watch that. I am PISSED! As in PISSED!!  >:( >:( >:( See the steam coming out my ears??

Here's one of the news stories about it:

Heading to the kitchen for late lunch... looking like it will be a sliced chicken breast sandwich. Supper will be a yummy shrimp cocktail, so to speak - nice-sized shrimp that I will put on top of a big bowl of mixed baby greens, with EVOO and Balsamic vinegar, and a big dollop of cocktail sauce in the center.

Have a Good Afternoon, All!  :)

Later, Beakers.  ;)

Phyl - Thanks for the pepper chart.

Lani - Love those temps you are having, wish I were there!

baz - LOL, COYOTE V. ACME Wow, I didn't think Charter Communications was even in business anymore.  We use to have them as a cable company many years ago here.  It was changed from Charter to Atlantic Broadband, and now Breezeline.  Sorry you are missing your tennis, and other things you like to watch!  Your shrimp dinner sounds like it will be yummy!

Have a good night, everyone!

KB   I would love to touch that frog and see how it feels.  It has been so easy getting around town - or anywhere for that matter -  these last few days.   Awww  smart ellie  ;D

TIG/LISA   Our wounded in "battle"  are improving - take care another day or two

PHYL  I've seen that Scoville chart before.  You wouldn't find me too far from the sweet green  LOL

LANI  Such a sweetie sloth  ;D   Day was busy - Last minute movie with Tim - Golda.  Now trying to catch up.  This is finger crossing time at the Bear center but see their reason for being hopeful - lots of food.

BAZI   Very clever article - always 2 sides to a story  LOL   Guess it's a Southern states thing - frogs in the house  LOL  That is terrible what you are having to undergo with your cable.  I did catch Coco Guaff's play to get her in quarter finals and parts of the mens quarterfinals with USA winning.  I fell so bad for you as you are a major tennis fan - Hope you get your money back.   Every time our cable goes out we keep track and Tim calls to have them credit us! - They do.

Wedding - "God awful hot and humid"  Makes living up here a breeze.  Wedding ceremony outdoors and reception indoors - A/C of course.  Seems friends of the bride are unaware of etiquette when I comes to RSVP ing.  They ran out of food and not everyone had a place to sit  Oh well. Honeymoon - Oahu and switch to Kauai from Maui.

Tsk, until u have experienced the hot and humid south you do not know what hot is!  But with good ac and ceiling fans it is wonderful inside
, then when you. Are freezing cold in the winter, we can play outside!  I do not know who would plan an outdoor wedding!
During the mid 60s, Sen Kennedy was responsible for an immigration law.  Hence he was mentioned in the test!  I think it is very special that you can get a flag that flew over the capitol, albeit only a short time!  There is no charge!
Tsk, I keep track of cable outages  as well.  Have always received a credit! Not much but I think they all overcharge!
Piper did mess with the bird but doesn't seem ill!   She is a mess!  She got a battery I had on the table for my radio, in case I needed it.  This was packaged on a piece of cardboard with hard plastic over it!  She took it all apart!  No chewing involved!  I would have needed scissors.  Yesterday she moved a pair of shoes I had in front of the shower down a hallto the bedroom!  Had them set up side by side ready to wear.
I am sure there are rules for irs disaster claims.  There always are.

Lisa, yum on the hot dogs and potato salad. Charter Communications is massive! They're the 2nd largest cable provider in the U.S. They re-branded under the trade name of Spectrum - same company though - still Charter Comm. - after they bought out a lot of other communications companies, like Time Warner Cable (which is what I had for so long), and had to divest in some geographic areas due to anti-trust reasons, so that might be why you don't have them anymore where you are. They serve 32 million customers in 41 states, and had $54 billion in revenues in 2022!! Making the big bucks, despite people cutting the cord so much now on cable TV. They have almost 102,000 employees. They are a huge broadband company - not just a cable TV provider these days. A profile summary:

Puff - Like the 'rules' of leaving the American flag out all night.  We do have a neighbor that leaves the flag out all night and their outdoor light shines all night.

Lani - It has cooled down in your area!! ;D

Kb - Loved 'Nature is Amazing' - what that baby elephant did to 'save' that fellow is wonderful.  Elephants are exceptional.

Baz - Good words of caution you posted for Karen, but good for everybody!   Sad & unfair for Spectrum subscribers - hope they resolve.

Tig - So nice; going out to see a movie, and then coming home to see a little froggie on your sidewalk - I would love that!! ;D

LisaG - Yaay! Good for you in making a potato salad - I bet it was so yummy! ;D

Tsk - I bet 'Golda' was good - I want to see it!!

 My sincere apologies for taking so long to post this photo. I’ve been dealing with a summer cold and sinusitis.
But...Well, well, well     The little 'buggers' , CR 58 , 59 and 60, my best educated guess.  Have made an appearance upon returning from the forest and survival training aka 'Flight School' as we call it.
Guarantee, I was most lucky to have caught them when I did.
The older two  #s 56 and 57, I haven't seen since fledging and leavening for 'Flight School'.

I'll wager this is the last we see of the third clutch.  As I've not seen a bluebird in almost two weeks.
However, should they grace us with their cheerful presence I'll endeavor to grab a snap and post.

8-25-23
Late afternoon and sadly too dark exposure :(.
The 'boys'  have matured much and  seem to look well.

tsk - Sounds like an interesting wedding.  I am feeling a lil better today, so Jeff and I are going to head out to BJ's.  Aww, life on the Banyan tree!

karen - That is so true what you said, until u have experienced the hot and humid south you do not know what hot is! I remember the first time I took Jeff down to New Orleans, and we walked out of the airport he was like OMG..I can't breathe.  Piper is a big helper! 

Phyl - Glad to read that you and Jim are feeling better.  Thanks for the pics of BB's and Black ealges.

baz - Thanks for that info on Charter.  I just thought they were not around any longer, since our cable company has changed hands so many times in the past 25 years.

E4E - Glad you had a nice day with mom & sis.  :)

Lori - Love all your labor day pets are "in training", especially Ms Destini!

Lani - Awww, the other hard worker, so cute!  Hard to believe Christmas will be here soon.  Beautiful good night pic!

My sweet girl turned 1 month old yesterday  :D

  Can't quiet get into the 'Autumn' thing as trees still have green leaves. And, the calendar still says Summer --- the temps are hot and humid.



Hi Tsk  Yes, poor  Alexander the Great got a too obsessed.  It's Julius Caesar tonight.  Back to last night---  Afterwards, I stayed on the channel and Lawrence Fishburne hosted a  program with the latest  on Cleopatra. The Nat Geo Digital  had the same in their issue two mos. back---most interesting. I sure hope that young archaeologist is on track!
Pets to Lulu.

Howdy Karen that new antibiotic is literally  a 'Godsend'. I think washing  pet toys removes the 'animal' scent. Maggie's toys have never been washed---mostly 'cuz that will destroy the catnip inside.  ::)   Pets to Piper.

Lisa 'Happy One Month Anniversary' Sydney.  May you have another 89 years and 11 mos.   ;)

High 93 today, 80 tomorrow! Hopefully done with the 90s, none in the forecast! 70s next week!

Lisa, oh what a beautiful little bundle of joy Sydney is, she gets cuter with every picture! One month old! Don't blink, soon it will be one year!

Phyl, awww, your Bluebird kids came to let you know they are still here and perhaps say goodbye! You and Jim are great caretakers of your Bluebirds, always making sure they have a nice place to raise their families! Very interesting on the new antibiotic being developed! This world needs it very badly!  The Black Eagle chick is getting more black feathers. I checked back through FB posts, I guess they are not naming the chick this year for some reason. I found this lovely picture taken by Buster Shipster of Makatsa, very rarely seen, taking a drink of water.

Lani, I am also so glad to hear that the NABC bears have plenty of food this year, hopefully it will keep them close to 'home' and safe. Christmas, less than four months away, I have always said that when school starts it seems like Christmas is here before we know it!  All we are hearing about now is Kelsey's birthday, she always tells everyone she sees that her birthday is Friday, and that this year she will be 30! Older than Mom, who is only 29! Yes, she tells everyone that! She wants to eat at The Machine Shed and she wants tie dye cupcakes, which she will not eat! I am working on it...  ;D ;D  Oh my, Scottish Bonnett pepper! I can barely tolerate jalapeno!

Lori, love all the hard working critters, especially Boss Destini on her skid loader! Hope both of you are well and happy!

tsk, good news on the Banyon Tree! Hopefully it will help the people of Lahaina heal...  I am with you on the peppers, although I do like a very small bit of jalapeno in my salsa!

baz, great bit on Coyote vs, Acme! I always felt sorry roe Wiley coyote when I was a kid watching the cartoons!  I always though either he was dumb or that Acme was owned by the Roadrunner! Sorry about tennis, I know you love watching the games, I would be mad too!

Lani - Hope Aly makes it home for Christmas - but I know you would love to see her and Shannon much sooner!!   Like the pic of the 'hard worker' kitty!

Tsk - Thank you for letting us know how the Wedding day went - too bad that the RSVP's weren't very accurate!  Oahu & Kauai will be wonderful.   Thank you for posting the Banyan tree status - such a lovely sight to see some green.   I don't know much about Golda Meir, so I need to educate myself about her.

Phyl - Cute morning pic!  Love the pic at the Roodekrans nest - beautiful chick!   Interesting article on the Antibiotic - thank you for posting link.   No worries of your BB pic getting posted late - love seeing your BBs no matter when you post!  That was a special pic you were able to snap!!

LisaG - Enjoy BJ's  ;D  Precious pic of your little Granddaughter - thank you for sharing. :)

Clynn - That will be nice when your temps cool next week to the 70s!  Love the pic of Makatsa by Buster Shipster - thank you!  Special birthday for Kelsey on Friday!! ;D   Amazing pic out of Norway!   Yikes - the 2 ladders stacked  :o

Karen - Piper has quite a happy & active personality! ;D

Everyone have a nice day.

Side note on all the posts re hot peppers -  You can really get your money's worth if you go south on a cruise to MX or Carib.  I think there's an unspoken competition between the locations and islands.  Doesn't really matter type of peppers, they can all be made/doctored/grown for HOT HOT HOT.  They play with the recipe ingredients as much as they do.  Ton is a hot eater.  Even giardiniera on his Italian foods.  He grew his own from seeds from our landscaper.  Or, another Italian neighbor made and sold his own.  I just never enjoyed an hour of burning sensation.  My only use of hot sauce would be when I dipped a butterknife into a bottle of sauce and added whatever stuck to the blade when I was making one of my Caesar salads.  Stuff is that hot from south of the border.  Bottle lasts forever, saves a lot of $$$ 'cuz it doesn't even cost that much (unless you add in the cost of the cruise/trip).    ;D

A side note for the side note -  When we married was when he got plants to grow his own peppers (I plant varied colored bell sweet peppers).  A row (as in debate) started when he thought I was throwing out his hot peppers.  Finally made him understand that you can't plant them in the same vicinity -  the plants all end up being hot peppers.  Bell peppers were given space in the garden; hot peppers were planted in pots and stayed on the patio.  He always remembered to water his peppers.  :P
 
I make a good Caeser - all toll about dozen ingredients. Ummmm, maybe tonight!

Chris and I saw the Atlantic Road on a new series of tv shows the other day....We watched Norway...many other countries to come....on Disney Plus...streaming series...11 dollars per month I think. The road is described as the most beautiful road in the world..they also showed how it started and the one mailman who makes the 8 mile? (one way) or so trip every day.

In the same way that the Air America shows on Nat Geo showed all our states.

The Norway show was beautiful and even though I'm 95 percent Norwegian, have most of my relatives visit there, I still found stuff in the show I didn't know....the architecture of the old churches all made of wood is phenomenal...in the Telemark region.

anyway, I highly recommend.

Weird feeling about today's weather...this morning's air and sky portend for me anyway the potential for strong storms this afternoon....been through enough of them to recognize it...as they say: we shall see.
A cold front will bump heads with this heat so rain, wind, and hail predicted..

karen - LOL, a steam bath!  When we got outside the airport in New Orleans, Jeff looks at me and my mama and says, why are you all not sweating like me? 

E4E - Thank you!   :-*

Karen, Piper doesn't want clean unscented toys! LOL!

Lisa, sweet beautiful baby girl!  :-* ... glad you're feeling better. You and Jeff enjoy the day!  ;D

Hi Eagles  :)

Puff, We love a good Caesar salad. Our favorite was at a restaurant in Sausalito, CA. Maybe someday you'll share your recipe.

Tig, I hope your appt goes well.

Kb, that is a very healthy and gorgeous anthurium! It must be at the perfect spot. I've never had success with them.  :-\   We don't have Disney+. I already subscribe to 5 streaming channels  :-\ ... YAY, cooler temps coming your way.... awww, sweet pup and chick.  :-*

Perhaps Disney + shows will end up on Nat Geo someday?....or another channel....if so, they are worth it.
Yeah, the subscriptions do add up...but I think? every area/major player offers some for free or lesser charge. We also have an apple tv stick which then has prime shows and other channels....we particularly like listening to long form video podcasts....watched one last night for 3.5 hours....also on you tube so....the smartest man I've ever listened to, Eric Weinstein...a physicist and former hedge fund guy....brilliant.

A small filling will be made in 6 months. Our dentist moved to join her husband's practice when her Dad's practice closed due to his retirement. Camper likes her (important) and she attends our church.

It is a pretty drive through the country. I saw 1 BE and 3 TVs today.

Now to watch the recording I made of tennis.

Hello folks. It has been a long time, but still fresh in memory. How is everyone doing? If you remember I was frequenting the Avon Lake Bald Eagle nest a couple years ago. As I was into photography and loved to take pictures of the eagles. I have not been to the nest at all this year. I still have my photo equipment, but very little time to actually use it. So right now I am just an online follower. But if ever I go back and decide to capture some images, I will surely share them here.

Puff do enjoy your big salad tonight

Tig easy does the mowing and good luck with the dental appt---now I see  just a 'filling' in 6mos. Not bad at all. Congrats

KB sadly Disney owns Nat'l Geographic magazine, paper and digital and also controls the programing  :'( :'( :'(  Good luck with the anthurium esp. since it means so much and who gave it to you. ;)


Lani many tks for the Bear Study update...relieved it's an "All's well' report. The bears look great! And a 'namesake'. 
Hopefully the girls and their canine fellas will be home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Kb, so your plant is a cutting from ssrl, good job, a very special plant indeed! I only watch my subscriptions channels too.

Tsk, I was very surprised to see one of the names of Lucy's cubs.  I had North American Bear Center on my Amazon Smile Charity list for many years, when that stopped, I started sending monthly food donations. This month I sent 5 lb bag of dried apricots. I don't know if they did chose my name, but I'm delighted.  ;D

Tig, overall not a bad day, especially the drive.  ;)

Eagles, I know how you feel when your post goes POOF!  :( ... I didn't know your son was in the USMC was stationed in Norway. How blessed we are for his service.  :).  Aly lived there three years, in one of the small fishing villages. She was an art teacher, love the people and the area. She brought back her dog Luna, a beautiful, sweet Portuguese Water dog.

PUFF  I think you may be getting heavier rain than I am this AM

EAGLES  Gosh bummer on the lost post  :(

LANI   Albatross weigh a lot compared to an eagle  :o  Nice that you help with the food donations for NABC.   Using the wish list makes it easy.  :)
I know you've mentioned it before but of course I've forgotten.  What an experience for Aly to live in Norway for 3 years - a long time.  I bet she still corresponds with friends she made there.  Didn't realize Luna had come from there.

PHYL  Funny AM photo  ;D   That pup sure knew the drill  LOLOL  Even closed his eye when the scissors got close .

Lani - Awww, that good night pic brings back memories of Misty & kitties!

Phyl - Cute owl this morning.  Send some of your rain this way, I will gladly take it.  We are supposed to be in the 100's today.  Thanks for the RRP post.

tsk, I am also amazed at how huge an Albatross is compared to our eagles! On the weather channel it looks like you got some good rain this morning! We sure could use some, maybe this weekend.

karen, stay cool today!  Spaghetti strands! I agree, Lee looks like it may be mostly over the ocean, although anything is possible this far away...

Lisa, crossing the bridge again!

BL, here we go again...  :o

Phyl, can't believe how that dog cooperates with the groomer! He must love looking so dapper! Thanks for Amy's Blog on migration, traffic will be heavy on the Flyway today!  Our high today is 79! Windows will be open!

Lani, lovely video of Manaaki! I see up close that he still has some down, such a handsome boy.  Are they shutting down the cams today? I see it says last night with Manaaki... I am always saddened when they leave but happy that they made it! Our cooler weather starts today, looks like you will be cooling down by Monday... We can't wait for Autumn!

E4E, they need to come up with something like automatic saving! Then we wouldn't lose posts unless we wanted to delete them!  Thank you to your son for his service! Ed would say Oorah!

ezee, so good to see you and know that you are still among us! Whenever you get a few spare minutes, please drop in! I do hope you will be able to sneak some time next year to get some pictures, you loved it so much!

high of 73 today

Hi Bazi!

Lani - Loved the evening quiet time of Manaaki - cute!!  My son was stationed for about a month in Norway - he loved it there!  How wonderful that Aly was an Art Teacher there for 3 years - what wonderful memories I bet she has!!   I remember her precious Luna - didn't realize Luna came from Norway!    So nice of you to send food/donations to the North American Bear Center. :)

Kb - Gorgeous Anthurium plant - so special that it has grown from a cutting of SSRL's :)

Tsk - Yesterday, I had a butterfly on my yellow mums in my front yard, and a butterfly on my yellow roses in the back. :)

Bl - Thank you for 'Lee' info.

Phyl - My son would say thank you to you too!   Re; RRP, Great article on Migration!!

LisaG - Have a safe trip to Annapolis - stay cool. :)

Karen - Enjoy a nice evening - your temps look good!

Clynn - How is it for you on Wednesdays now that Bella is in school?!    Liked that Ed would say Oorah! Was Ed in the USMC?   Love your pics today; sweet duck & pup, and the 70's throwback  :)

Puff - We would like some of your rain over here!

Beakers have a nice day.

A quick pop in here:

I'm definitely multi-tasking this morning:
walked Ollie, started sprinklers, 2 loads of laundry, mowed, weed whipped the front, now hand watering.

I've gotten darn good at this actually with my timing..

No rain landed here last night...dumped to the east of us.....dang it....hence, watering.
Much cooler however which I'm grateful for.

Eagles4, that's so cool your son was in Norway for awhile....my ancestors are all from the Telemark area...both sides of my parents came over in and around 1865....and all landed permanently in Minnesota.
What does your son do these days?....if you said I've forgotten.

E4E  We did have a nice rain.  Just enough for yard to say AAAAAH.

But, careful what you wish for. . .You could be the nest Burning Man!  Funny note I read about the "festival".  They haven't had a recordable rainfall in 20 years, 2003.  Doesn't take much in a desert.

Eeks....my first bee sting in years!...pulling out a weed out of my lawn without gloves on.
Getting complacent I guess.
Nothing worse than a bee sting on your thumb!
I'll be fine....better not cramp my style though I have a boat load of things to do outside with my hands this week...catching up after heat prevented much at all.
Wear those gloves!

I'm overseeding the lawn this week and some bare spots from tree removal etc...bought myself one of those manual aerators you step on to pull out plugs before seeding.
Just small areas and on a hill so we shall see.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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, Luna was such a sweet fun dog. She and our old dog Bandit was very close. It took Bandit a while to get use to little Dewey. He never hurt Dewey, because he knew Dewey belonged to Aly, and Bandit loved Aly, but this little yappy thing was a hard change for him. He didn't look at Aly for a week or so. LOL! We always wondered if we should have taken Bandit with us when we decided it was time for Luna. Bandit couldn't stop looking for Luna for quite a while.

Clynn, no, they're not shutting down the Albatross cams. New Zealand is 17 hours ahead of us. It's already Thursday there, 4:12am the 7th. I usually wait a day to post their videos, but that was such a nice close up, I couldn't resist.... it was 52 degrees this morning, it'll jump up to low 90's today... then it will cool down again by night. Which makes it nice for our AC. Next week daily temps should be in the low 80's. Some of the maple leaves are starting to turn red. That means the valley temps will cool down to the high 90's. My favorite time of year.

karen, praying not another hurricane coming your way.

Lisa, safe travels and fun day in Annapolis.

Tsk, Aly went to live in Kragero, Norway following a Norwegian friend she went to college with. She had several friends from Norway at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. She is still very close with them and their families. Also, close with a North Ireland college friend and her family. Yes, she brought home Luna, she loved the water. She passed away from cancer a year after we moved to Payson. Then Aly found Dewey at a small dog rescue in Scottsdale.

BL, sad to see another one coming.

Phyl, oh my what a handsome well groomed boy!  ;D

Luna on the passenger seat and Bandit behind the wheel waiting on Aly 2013 ;D :-*

PUFF  You had a pretty good rain.  Not that much here.

KB   Good job with the multi task  ;D ;D    How cool was that space station view  :o :o

LANI   Sweet Nara  :)  Thanks for Aly's connection to Norway and that she went to school in San Fran.  I remember when Luna died.  :(

Lisa, I kind of scheduled myself around Wednesdays, it's taking a bit of getting used to! I am so used to saying 'any day but Wednesday' when setting up appointments!  Not that I am getting any more things done though! I kind of got myself hooked on watching Bones on TV. I never watched it before, and it's on 3 different channels here. Now I look ahead and can skip ones I have seen...

tig, just get yourself comfortable, all else will wait!

kb, take a break now and then! We have some good weather coming around!

Lani, cute tweet of the 3 chicks and the parent! Cute when the parent skedaddles, was it Manaaki that was in close pursuit? I had asked if the cam was shutting down because it read 'last look' in the description. Glad it's still on! Love your picture of Luna and Bandit on their car ride, maybe they were meeting up with Toonces! So Aly lived in Norway, how exciting, probably a good place for art! I really enjoy finding out little bits and pieces of each other's lives, it weaves us together...  Sweet Nara...

E4E, yes, Ed was a Marine, shouldn't say 'was', they say once a Marine, always a Marine.' I will now be expecting a picture of your son for our Veterans tributes!

karen, you are kidding about the 1970's school bus being Bella's bus! She doesn't ride the bus, they are too close to the school!  Any more yard work being done in your yard? I think you are doing an excellent job of being home and even by yourself a lot! I knew you would be better off at home instead of laying there ringing that bell!

clynn - I don't think I ever watched Bones.  Every time we get hooked on a show, its either cancelled, or the next season takes a year to come on.  We got hook on Anne Rice's, Mayfair Witches show staring Alexandra Daddario .  That was so good.  I hope there is a season 2!  ;D the complaint to Amazon!

baz - Great pics of the two sets of twins!  I love that all want to be something different when they grow up. 

tig - Prayers for Zeus! 

Have a good night, everyone!

Hello Beakers

It has been a cool cloudy & breezy day  :)  We briefly made it to 76 about 4pm when the cloud cover opened up for about 30 minutes - now back down to 68 and dew point of 62.  Yesterday it was 87 with a dew pt. of 73 - very uncomfortable. 

Yesterday we started putting out Christmas - lighted wire frame animals and blowmolds.  Also sold a snow blower.  We are sold out on 4 models of lawn mowers, with everything left on the floor.

Hurricane Lee is expected to get to Cat4, but I like that the spaghettis, show most of them agreeing on it staying out to sea.

 Az, did those hair styles in the school bus picture go out of style?   Lolol! Next someone will tell me that saddle shoes and white bucks are also passe!
Cute pictures of the twins! 
Went out today for the first time and the tree damage on my street was incredible!  I was shocked! Piles of trees on both sides of the road.  I  was truly blessed.
Prayers for Zeus that he lives, pain free!
Lani, wonderful car picture!   ThaNks for sharing that. And a bit of Alys adventures.

needed for the environment and wildlife.

Bazi those 'First day of School' photos are wonderful!  Luv the placards too.

Kb - You have family in Norway and MN! ;D  Our son lives & works in Texas.  He has an Apt and has a furry member that he is 100% dedicated to.  He has a German Shorthair Pointer that is 2 1/2 years old and he loves her so very much!!   Oh no, how are you doing tonight following that nasty bee sting earlier today?  I sure hope you are not hurting.    Nice and cozy in your cool house - with blanket!

Puff - Sounds like you had just enough rain to be a perfect amount!

Lani - Cute pic of Nara  :)   I remember it was so sad when Luna passed.    Love the pic of Luna & Bandit in the front seat of the car!! ;D   Cute vid of Albatross's!!

Tig - Hope you feel better soon and enjoy those lap warmers! ;D   Prayers for Zeus - truly wishing longer good health.

LisaG - Does the kitty at your Son's recognize you?

Clynn - You are so correct in the saying:  Once a Marine - always a Marine and Semper fidelis (always faithful).   Yes, I need to send you a picture.

Bazi - Love the pics of all the twins going back to school! ;D

LisaG - Glad Jeff's car will be covered under warranty.  Hope it it fixed very nicely and that you don't see anything wrong.

Oldguy - I bet the store will be super busy all during the Fall and holiday season!

Karen -Good that you got outside and took a walk in your neighborhood, but sad about the damage.

Kb - Amazing how fast one's hair can grow!   Wow, you got some good rain too!!

Everyone have a nice restful evening.

Not sure if I will check in early in the morning as I have my annual check up with my doctor.  If I don't check in early, I will after my appt.

Tsk, there were 5 monarchs stopping by and checking out my flowers today. And I thought of you.  ;D

Clynn, glad you're taking time for yourself. I haven't seen Bones. It must be good.... Luna and Bandit did make a cute pair in the car. They were very serious no barking or being ansy, just watching the Walgreen's building waiting for Aly's return. In fact, there were a couple of people taking a pics of them as Aly came out of Walgreen's. So, she took a snap too and as you can see, both dogs did not react at all.... amazing home, back in time....

Baz, Luna and Bandit did attract a photo or two from others that day! Everyone got a chuckle when they walked by the car.... the twins look happy and excited to start the new year! 

Tig, awww prayers for Zeus  :(.  is Rosie with you too? I know you're enjoying the precious lap warmer.

Lisa, YAY! Good news about Jeff's car!  ;D

Oldguy, Christmas things out? Thanks for links... prayers Lee stays out far away out!

Lani, haunting good night picture... I think the older we get the more we enjoy going back in time and remembering little things that touched us... We had a cat named Stanley when I was in High School, He didn't drive the car but Stanley had 7 kittens (her name was officially changed to Stanleyetta)! Oh did we love on those kittens, and we found homes for all of them!

BL, what a treat, to watch bear cubs play!

E4E, hope you get a good report at your appointment!

A quick hello before I head out to pick up Jeff's car, and maybe do a lil shopping before I come back home.

oldguy - I need to check out your work website for some blowmold Christmas decorations.  I bought some a couple years ago, and I need a few more.   :)

kb - Is that a sudden change in temps for you?

karen - Sounds like like of tree damage, thank goodness you were spared. 

Phyl - Stewie and Ziva are getting along good. Pretty Flyway pic. 

E4E - Good luck with your annual check-up!

Lani - Jeff will be happy to have his car back too.  I have already been instructed to make sure the service advisor opens and closes the sunroof, just to make sure it is working properly.

Eagles4 - awe, a German Shorthair!..I thought I always wanted one...cause they are so attractive to look at....good I didn't, as they require lots of activity...does your son hunt?..or just a family dog?

My bee sting doesn't hurt, just intense itchiness...and you all know the more you itch it the itchier it gets!
Swollen now from scratching all night long even with multiple sprays of Bactine....
Will still mow the back yard sometime today in preparation for grass seed dropping maybe Saturday. It might rain Saturday night, LOL....so they say...

Manaaki's feathers are more defined now, and losing the baby fuzz, soon he will fledge. I'll miss him.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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 Lori, Sweet pics, love the goodies, the coffee would have me bouncing all day. LOL!....  I think about your grandmother often, prayers for you both and Destini.  :-*

{{{Kb}}} sorry I missed your post about a bee sting. I hate the itchiness of any bite, let alone a bee sting. Have you tried "After Bite" roll-on? It works for us, especially on these noseeums that live in our forest soil. UGH! Benadryl spray may help too. but, After Bite works best for us. Instant relief and heals spot...  Geez, I'm itching now just thinking about it.... feel better soon and enjoy your temps.

Lisa, talon's crossed all is well with the car and enjoy a little shopping too!  ;D

Clynn, "Stanleyetta"  ;D :-* ... absolutely love the miniature village  :-* ... sweet post of the Sea Eaglets, beautiful with full crops!  :-* ... good luck with the car.

Tsk, nice temps for you today! Enjoy!  :)

Tig, glad you and pups had a good night... sorry about water ration. I pray rain comes your way.

Phyl, awesome Flyaway pic, Fall is approaching  :) ... thanks for LiveScience links.

Lani - oh great idea and I know I have some After Bite roll on somewhere!....it's a matter of finding it now...will look.

Oh those teenagers....the albatross chicks that is....I too will miss them when they are gone.

Mowed and dropped seed, over seeding, plus some bare spots in back.....now have to buy more for the front. Out temps are about right for over seeding now...gotta sprinkle later and pray for rain on Saturday.

We have had a no watering ban for years but it's the hours...nothing between 11 and 4.....I am allowed to use my soaker hoses anytime...and hand water...just no lawn sprinklers...the "idea" being there won't be so much evaporation during mid day hours...hmm, I dunno....I don't like it but I comply. I'm pretty smart about not wasting water myself, we have multiple full aquifers of our own, and at the end of the month all restrictions are gone..
tig - seems kind of late in the season to just now enforce water rules, no?

OLDGUY   Wow, that first ever 1928 video of Appalachian music.  :o   Nice Jimmy buffet story

KAREN   You are blessed for sure as you were so worried about your pines falling.

TSK, thanks. But, LOL, only 2 of them are 3rd grade... the other 2 started Kindergarten last week!  ;) :D

Here in NY now wow weather.

We love when all the have to get back to education types exit the North Woods.

 - a mother black bear and her three cubs shadowed us for a while .. we was using their trail after all -

We pulled our trail boots over and glassed them 3 cubs frolicking for hours as they enjoyed the living shit out of that mountain.

Mom was like would you 3 idiots just keep up and just get on with lesson # 33  HONEY.

Needless to say walking into camp late     8)

BL, oh, that all sounds wonderful!! :)  Some back to education types have not.  ;)

My niece, her husband, and their 2 kids (my Littlest Greatniece and her Baby Bro)... a few days ago... many different hikes and sights lots of places in Banff National Park - Banff and Jasper and points between.  ;) :D

Hmmm.. I just saw on the news we will be under watering restrictions beginning today. First I've heard of it. Need to water on days associated with our address.
We had a peaceful night and giving meds went well last night. The pups and I have the same schedule. Up for bathroom and back to snuggle nap.  8)

LISA  Beautiful fall pic this AM

KB   You usually don't see the real beauty of starlings..We also use After Bite as Lani mentioned

LORI   As always you brighten my day.  ;D  That coffee looks right up my alley  ;)

LANI   Wonder if the albatross chicks ever gossip  LOLOL

BAZI    Thanks for noticing my "oops"  ;) ;)   Oh my gosh -What an amazing trip for for your niece's family.  I've been there - outstanding as we can see from the pics.  Cute bro and sis hug pics.  ;D

Was in the kitchen getting ready to start some BLT's and saw Ollie man flush a huge red tail hawk out of my back yard ash tree.....twas a bark with a little trepidation in fact....I only saw it fly off as I went to investigate his noise..

Post by: LisaG1967 on September 07, 2023, 02:29:48 PM

kb - Wow, that is a drastic change in the temps!  Is the bee sting feeling better? 

Lori - How are ya doing, girl?  Mmm, the Dalgona coffee sounds delicious.  I will take one, please!

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update.  All seems ok with Jeff's repair on sunroof.  I had the service advisor open and close it a few times, and thank goodness there is a 2 year warranty on the work that was done.  So, if it breaks again, it can go back to be fixed.

baz - Wonderful vacay pics of Punkin and Baby Bro.  Love Baby Bro's facial expression in 3rd pic...1st set.   ;D

tsk - Thank you  :-*  I am jealous of your 69 temps.  The real feel here is 105°  :o

Lisa - new skin is helping with the bee sting...my favorite OTC product btw....looked but couldn't find the after bite.....that does NOT mean it isn't somewhere in my house however.
New skin or liquid bandage is the kicker right now.

BTW, it's only 63 degrees right now. I anticipate needing to use the same attire as last night tonight.

   Starlings.  ::) They're a bother back here And our  neighbors often shoot them.
About mid afternoon,while in the kitchen,  heard a 'tap-tap-tap' on the deck doors. Glanced out  and  what did I see? Two hummers hovering. One flew to the '
feeder and gave it a 'jab' and looked up in my direction, jabbed the feeder again...flew back to hover with it's buddy. I took the hint and mixed up more  clear
nectar and refilled the red glass feeder---rehung it. ;) 

Right now 74F clear skies.

CLynn how's the hatchback repair?  Tks for sharing  Pat Burke's  Sydney Sea Eagle  eaglets. Oh my the pair have grown!  :-* Sweetheart frame is great.

Tsk truth be known I bet you populate a many state area with your Monarchs.  ;)

Lisa pretty flowers this am; Lizzie will always be 'Lizzie'.

Hi Lori  what an animal menagerie .     :-*       And all those baked goodies! :)

Lani always enjoy the Royal Albatross Report-    I hope there are snaps of Manaaki and Q-Chick fledging. 'Baby fuzz'   ;D

Baz  (https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.GjrgCcsAqGT-sJJhGlk2IQAAAA?w=33&h=33&c=7&r=0&o=5&pid=1.7) Great Vaca photos of  Lil Punkin and BabyBro

Good evening beakers!   I use Benadryl for things that itch! 
Had out door water rationing here for several years.  Odd/even as has been posted but with assigned days! As I recall the hours were after midnight and off early, early, am so there was no ir little competition with household use.  I set the sprinkler system to come on about 4am.  Soon after it finished tge sun came up and dried the leaves.  I still water at that time!
Baz, great pictures!   Love that red hair!
Lisa, great picture this am!   Hoping Lee dies an easy natural death in the ocean and spares all of tge east coast.
Clynn, how is your car?  Maybe you have already said and I missed it.
Tsk, great temperatures!  Could turn Chicago into a retirement oasis!
Rths. They are quite numerous in South Georgia!  I see the making lazy circles in the sky daily!  Looking for dinner!
Lori, thanks for all the treats!
Phyl, filled my feeder yesterday and have some in the fridge for tomorrow!
Hope all have a great  night.  Good to see all.  Seds

Beautiful family and area, you can tell the two siblings are very close....  I can't stop giggling over 3rd pic of Lil Bro less than happy grin with parents - Waterfall. LOL!  ;D ... Thanks for sharing.  :)

Tig, thanks for sharing the map, I checked on the Bear Center in Ely, and they are in yellow. I'm sorry about the drought situation.... thinking of little Zeus and Rosie. I hope for a good night for all of you.

Kb, Glad the RTH and Ollie is okay.... there is a GHO that stops by and stares at Sadie. It drives the Pinion Jays crazy and Sadie starts barking.... glad the liquid bandage is working.

Lisa,YAY! Glad all is well with Jeff's car! Does he still run the nature cam? Any Pepe sightings?

Phyl, we have hummers too, we enjoy watching one particular bugger chase off other hummers. Poor guy never has time to take a sip, he's too busy chasing others away.

SED Karen, Eagles, Tsk  :)

It's a tie dye day! Finally the day we have been reminded of for the last several weeks! Kelsey is 30 today! She is so excited! Sarah, her job coach /helper is taking her to the zoo today for her birthday, I told her not to get too close to the monkeys, they might want her to live with them! LOLOL, she thinks that is so funny! Erin and family are meeting us and we are having dinner at The Machine Shed, her choice. Then we'll all come back here to the tie dye decorated dining area for tie dye cupcakes and vanilla ice cream. And she will open her presents!

Lani, hummers are little fighters, that's for sure. I have also watched and agree that they spend more time running each other off than they do eating! Little birds are mean to each other in general, they don't like any other bird around when they are eating, I have really noticed this watching the window feeder at Mom's! Love the good night pic! Love watching the Albatross chicks gather and clack! Prayers for our bears during the awful hunting season...

Phyl, I was surprised, the dealership called me around 2:00 and said my car was done! Usually I have to call them and check on the progress. When I went in the Service area one guy was on the phone and I saw there was a girl at the next station, so I rushed over to her! Long story short, she refunded me the $85 they had charged me previously for diagnostic testing on the hatchback issue that found nothing wrong. The repair today was the $980 job on the hatchback (covered by warranty). She will be my person there from now on, she said just ask for her!

tsk, yes, it was cool yesterday! I put on long pants to take my car to the shop yesterday morning! 82 high for today! It's so nice to have windows open, and I love being able to leave the sliding door open to the deck, it's like having another living area! I have had the same thought as you, easy to imagine the albatross chicks all gossiping in their little circle, maybe because they seem like they are whispering!

Lisa, looks like you are having another hot one today, but a cooldown is coming! Looks like we might get some rain early next week! Glad Jeff's car is fixed, we are both happy campers!

baz, love the pictures of Lil' Punkin's family on their adventure! What a sweet family! Lil' Bro is sure a handsome little guy, and it's easy to tell how they love each other a lot!

Lori, thanks for all the cute critters and yummy goodies! Hugs for you and Destini!

Many call it the most beautiful pool in history. Azure Blue indoor pool at Hearst Castle, completed 1934.

PHYL   Of late I'm refilling the hummer feeder every 5 days.  Bulking up for migration  ;D   Sure do wonder how many of them actually make it all the way to Mexico.  I wish them well tho before release.  ;) ;)

KAREN  LOL  Cannot ever imagine Chicago as a retirement oasis.   :o

LANI   The wasps hadn't been around the hummer feeder all summer until about 2 weeks ago and I had to hang the wasp catcher which really works.  They are drawn to a juice mixture.  Now the hummers are free to feed.  :)

CLYNN  What a wonderful day planned for Kelsey  ;D  So funny about the monkeys - Boy 30 today  :o   Great - a woman contact at the dealer .So glad you got the refund and an $$$ project was under warranty .    Believe it or not I remember that pool at the Hearst castle.  Stunning
     I too like to be able to keep the door open to the porch.  Love sitting out there and watch nature pass by.

Puff - That pic is a great idea for Punkin's family.

clynn - Sounds like a fun day planned for Kelsey.  Yes, another hot day.  Your car is fixed and that they refunded you...yay!  Beautiful pool!

LisaG - Glad Jeff has his car back and good that the sunroof has a 2 yr warranty!

Puff - Great idea to Baz about the Banff sign picture being made into a Christmas card  :)

Here is the latest on Lee...

PHYL   You really don't have to buy nectar.  Just bring to a boil in microwave 1 Cup of water and then stir in 1/4 C regular sugar - Stir til dissolved and and cool before putting in the container.  Mine takes a cup - If you make extra it will keep for a bit in the frig.

CLYNN   Hope Kelsey doesn't put on too much weight with all these beautiful cakes today   ;) ;)

OLDGUY   Lots of car appts lately   ;D   Boy, let's hope Lee stays out to sea and only waves for all these people to deal with - which could be awful in themselves but not like a full force hurricane.

Good news for car repairs!
Having microwave issues here!  Might have to use tge stove! Lol
Off to the seamstress and store this afternoon!

Happy Birthday Kelsey!  Have a fun day!

Hummers busy little guys/gals.  Watched one 2 days ago relaxing on the patio.  Then about an hour ago checking out my kitchen bay - watched a busy, busy job being done on my next door neighbors patio planters.  I'll have to call them and thank them later for the entertainment.

Oooo, Oooo And I also scared the window washer guy - -That  same mentioned bay window is the real job to be done.  On the side of the house, he has to use a ladder to get at it (raised ranch) And Then - has to do a double clean job on the 3 panels because that is where I have 3 feeders, 2 hanging down from the overhang.  When the birds, especially the youngsters eat, especially the nyger, they spit the seed to  - I really don't know why they spit the empties shells.  But the messy flying empty shells stick like glue to the window panes.  Scrape and wash twice to get clean.  Not as many little/young finches left for this year.  Gone away practicing?

No hummers around at the time BUT  Swear on a stackof bibles - A RTH flew across the yard.   ;D   I yelled and the guy looked at me funny.  Gave him a quick explanation of whys:  Windows dirty why, yell why.

Back from getting two pair of pants I had hemmed, a pound of very thin sliced low sodium ham at Publix and  ribs and burnt ends from the bbq place!   I am set for a while!  On the trip to Publix we drove thru an area I had not been too.  Lots and lots of serious tree damage and a lot of blue tarps!  Car damage on my street!
Had storms last night and early this am.  Loud thunder and bright lightening.  Enough to wake me up but Pioer snored through it! Light stuff expected tonight!

Beakers, I showed Kelsey all of the Birthday wishes and told her who each was from and what state you lived in! She was excited!  Thank you all, this is always a special day for her! She is out with Dad right now, seeing all of her friends at the thrift stores, she has been reminding all of them about her birthday, I am sure she will get some cards! She had a fun morning at the zoo!

I am trying to get all the presents wrapped now. I got the tie dye cupcakes iced, I will take a picture! They turned out pretty good! Again, thank you all for all the fun birthday wishes!

karen, ohmygoodness, more damage to be seen! You must have had an angel sitting on your house!

Puff, that is the same with Mom's front window, the one with the bird feeder on it. I have to clean it every time I go there!

tsk, Puff, I read that you really don't have to even boil it, just use your tap water as hot as you can get it. It said that as soon as the first hummer drinks it is contaminated. The heat is really to melt the sugar!  https://www.birdsandblooms.com/birding/birding-basics/sugar-water-101/#Do%20I%20Need%20to%20Boil%20Sugar%20Water%20For%20Hummingbirds?

Talked with him last night.  Sounded contemplative, determined, and thankful.  A bit of the maucho seems to have been stepped away from.  Great gratitute expressed for Julie (wife) and what she has been helping him with and doing for him.  Was so happy/proud that he took his own shower yesterday morning, sorta he said.

Don't want to be too much of a pest.  I'll keep up with the latest as best I can.

Can I give you  a buzz tonight?

Karen, you've been a busy bee! Glad you didn't have any damage at your place from the storms yesterday/last night. I saw lots of trees and homes damaged in Tallahassee from that same storm line, too!

Lisa and Clynn, yay for car repairs completed under warranty! And a refund for Clynn, too!

Puff, nice to get your big bay window spotless clean. Don't run into it!!   ;D  Just kidding!   ;)  LOL on entertainment from your neighbor's planters.  ;) :D

Lani and TSK, yep, LOL on Baby Bro's "For Real??" expression in that 3rd pic of the 1st set. Our family chuckles often about his hilarious facial expressions. He definitely wears his heart, and emotions of all kinds, on his sleeve.  ;) :-* :-*

CLYNN  I think I remember that it doesn't have to boil but I just do it that way  :)  What a wonderful day for Kelsey!!  And now special presents and cupcakes to top it off.

PUFF  Going out for dinner with Barb and Tom - tomorrow might be better...We need to arrange a place mid way maybe for you to give me the coats  lunch?

Baz, damage I saw today was from the hurricane, not last night!   It is raining now! Piper has to go out but am hopeful tis will not be an all night affair!  I must have an angel over my house!  Lawn folks came today and in addition to a general mow and etc they moved a fairly good sized pile of debris from the back yard to the front so it can be picked up at some point! Folks say, Fema will pick it up!  Lol.  I have known a lot of folks who worked for Fema and never met one who picked up yard . Paid some bills!
Actually the county has hired some business with big black trucks and big grabbers who will do this!   Only 7 trucks tho.
Hope Kelsey enjoyed her dinner!  I am off to do a weather check!

Well, that's pretty cool.....I was just reading on FB from all over the Twin Cities suburbs people asking about all the dragon flies......so, I just went out back with Ollie on a lead to do his last business for the night and I ran into gazillions of dragon flies.
Guess they are getting ready to migrate south.....was cool.

Unlike bird migration, the dragonflies that leave from the north are not the same individuals that return the following spring. Instead, their round-trip travels can require three generations: One that emerges from larva in the north—then migrates, breeds and dies in the south.

Oh BTW with all the natural and OTC remedies I've tried for bee stings.....good old fashioned ICE works the best to stop itching.

Tsk - We must be lucky, as we do not have wasps interfering with our hummer feeders!  We are having massive activity in our yard - 2 feeders. ;D

LisaG - I agree that Lizzie will ALWAYS be Lizzie.  I would have kept her sweet name the same.

OG - Good luck at your car appt.   Scary stuff with Hurricane Lee . . . .

Karen - I replace my hummer feeders with fresh 'nectar' twice a week, and it must be working because we are getting many hummers flying thru and going to the feeders!  We love them - they are so cute and we love to notice the different special colorings on each!  I like how Piper sleeps thru the storms!

Tig - Enjoy your sweet little pups (which I know you are)!!

Puff - You mention 'finches'.  We used to have tons of finches 3 years ago, and they have dwindled for some reason.  We just don't see them on nearby trees, wires, fences, branches.  Wonder why they have moved on. . . . .

Clynn - That is so nice that you take the time to show Kelsey her birthday wishes from everyone in the Beak!  A busy and fun day for All of you!!

Kb - I was out in my yard starting to cut & trim off spent blooms off the rose bush without my gloves and then I remembered your words to 'wear your gloves'!  So I went into my shed and quickly put my gloves on - I sure don't want to chance getting a bee sting!   How is your bee sting healing?

Baz - Cute birthday graphics for Kelsey! :)

A Non Lee forecast.
I'll stick with the NHC 3 Day Cone.
72 hours out.
Historical data indicate that the entire 5-day path of the center of the tropical cyclone will remain within the cone about 60-70% of the time.
It's the times they 'fall' outside of that cone that we watch ..

Today was totally wild otter day _ you know when you go Fishing, just sit, watch and chuckle.

Hi Beakers! I had an early long day of meetings and getting ready for a new year for our women's education organization.
I'm tired. It was nice seeing the ladies again and getting caught up.

Everyone posted beautiful birthday cards for Kelsey!  ;D

{{{Clynn}}} What a wonderful day you have planned for your girl. I hope Kelsey had a great time at the zoo and fun birthday celebration!  ;D ... well, you had a great day too! Glad your car is repaired and paid for, and you have a great contact the next time you're in need of help! The pool room is absolutely stunning.... I just read your post about making nectar for hummers.  I boil water in an electric pot everyday for tea and from that I make the nectar too...

Kb, very interesting history of our very tiny hummingbird.

Tsk, what type of wasp catcher? The wasps have stayed away from our feeder this year. I wonder why? I've seen them on the flowers.  ??? ... Enjoy your dinner out.

Phyl, I've made my own hummingbird nectar for years ... Here's the recipe from Audubon.  https://www.audubon.org/news/how-make-hummingbird-nectar  ... I see others have posted their recipes too.  ;D

Lisa, glad to hear your trail cam is active and busy! Pepe/family  ;D..... I bet Misty's former beau is one of those cats.  ;D

Lori, Yummy birthday cake for Kelsey.

Eagles, you should hear Sadie when she sees coyotes... and then somewhere a skunk had sprayed a critter, and she did not like the smell.  :-\ LOL!

Oldguy, yummy cupcake for Kelsey... I pray Lee stays out to sea. 

Karen, I'm so glad your home/yard faired a lot better. God bless. Glad you're getting out and taking care of things. Nothing seems to bother Piper. Sadie popped up at midnight and started barking. A coyote must have been near.

Baz fun birthday posts for Kelsey

BL,  :)

Good night!

tsk - Believe me, I am not getting too close to the trail cam cats.  I think Misty & Bandit would be very upset.  We have noticed that she is getting a lil protective of her home now that she is inside and spayed.  She does not like it when another cat is in the yard, and Bandit is the same way.   

karen - How nice that the lawn folks moved the pile of debris for you.   

kb - Very interesting about the dragonflies.  Good ole Ice.  LOL

E4E - I liked the name Lizzie, too. 

BL - Hopefully Lee will stay out in the Atlantic, and head North!

Lani - You had a busy day.  LOL, there is one cat out there that we think might have been Misty's former beau. 

Phyl - That is a beautiful kitty in your morning pic.

I am moving really slow this morning...I pulled something in my left wrist and it is making me scream! Using my left hand as little as possible, it is better this morning. I think I did it trying to carry something too heavy from the grocery store, I had the bag loops on my wrist, I have to stop doing that!

Kelsey's birthday was a good one for her, she asked them to sing Happy Birthday to her at the restaurant and she danced in her chair while they were singing!
Again, thank you all so much for the Birthday Wishes, she really enjoyed them! And she wore that Birthday Girl head band ALL DAY long!

The dark pink hoodie with the cat paw print was the thing she wanted most of all and she got it!

kb, awww, those sweet kitties...

Phyl, cute cat baker!  Great video of the Savannah cat running the bear off! A/C will go back on later today, high 86. Tomorrow will be 80, windows open again! Then in the 70s again!

Lisa, my cats (cat) don't like other cats around the house either. One day a few months ago they were both cat screaming in the front hall, fur flying everywhere (they were so upset they jumped on each other...). There was a cat sitting on the front porch, close to the glass door. They did NOT like that!  I called they an old cat couple!  Oh, a visit with Sydney today, how wonderful! Have some wonderful Grandma time!

Lani, glad to hear that your Jayhawks won! Good that you got to see all the ladies at the meeting, I know that group is very special to you! I never thought about the electric pot for the hummers food! I got one for Mom a couple of years ago and it is the best thing! She doesn't have to turn the stove on and it heats the water fast! And it was very inexpensive, I may have to get myself one just for the hummers! We are watching the kids today while Erin and Sydney go to the Iowa/Iowa State game, the big rivalry!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

58 degrees - Sure feels like fall today High 72 and sunny  ;D

PUFF  I'll be around  ;)

KB   Interesting about the dragon flies.  Similar to monarchs.  This generation makes the long flight but a third generation is what we then see in the summer.  Didn't know dragon flies migrated..   Oh my heart just melts at those two kitties gif  :-*

EAGLES  You have much more hummer activity than we do.  Lucky you  ;D

BL  Great part about fishing is observing all the other wild life.   ;D

LANI   Meetings abound for the new season ahead.   :) I'll join you in that bit of tiredness.  Go Jayhawks  ;D  I'll come back and post the link and formula for the wasp catcher.  If I do it now - I usually loose my post  LOL        The formula is 2 shots of water
   1 shot of fruit juice    1 shot of vinegar and 4 T sugar     Mix and it just fills the bottom.   https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Hanging-Outside-Hornet-Carpenter/dp/B09Q8SMPPF/ref=sxin_16_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.1c86ab1a-a73c-4131-85f1-15bd92ae152d%3Aamzn1.sym.1c86ab1a-a73c-4131-85f1-15bd92ae152d&crid=2HTCI8TU15AM4&cv_ct_cx=wasp%2Bcatcher&keywords=wasp%2Bcatcher&pd_rd_i=B09Q8SMPPF&pd_rd_r=9e6290f6-cfea-4949-a56f-901331ebb422&pd_rd_w=1n8RX&pd_rd_wg=ClcfH&pf_rd_p=1c86ab1a-a73c-4131-85f1-15bd92ae152d&pf_rd_r=Y1HVGQV015J3ZH2RW3WJ&qid=1694265774&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=wasp%2Bcatcher%2Caps%2C96&sr=1-3-364cf978-ce2a-480a-9bb0-bdb96faa0f61-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

PHYL    LOLOL  Savannah cat.. ;D

LISA   Love the Caturday pic this AM  :)   Oh YAY  Another visit with that cutie Sydney.  Will wait for the pics  :)

CLYNN  Maybe an ice wrap around your wrist for you this AM!  Bag of frozen peas fastened with a dish cloth?   Your cupcakes are amazing - How did you do that?  Kelsey looks so happy.  There's a lot of tie dye out there   - down to the table cloth;D   Like the cat face shirt  ;)   Cat in the bread loaf bag  :D

((( Clynn )))
It has been a pup adventure. Rosie chases squirrels and birds just flying above the yard. Lol. She hurt her leg a bit jumping off the couch to chase a sound. She seems better today. But then, while playing with her toy she bumped her head on the wall. She needs an open concept house.!
Zeus had an encounter with the neighbor cat that they let roam. Cat at fence said look how I can arch my back. I am cat. Zeus said I am small dog with big name Zeus. Hear me bark! Cat took off running away between the two fences with Zeus hot on its tail. Ooo ... excitement.
We just spent an hour hunting... me for poopies and them sniffing the breeze for Interlopers. Nap time.
Happy Caturday.

My car appointment went well yesterday - apparently more loose screws from my last oil change almost 2 years ago.  Within days of the oil change, a wheel almost fell off - now the belly pan was falling off with only 2 bolts holding it on...  no charge
But early in the week it took them 3 days to fix my 2005 Van - it needed spark plugs and wires - they were having problems getting parts in. almost $1100

Terrible videos out of Morocco this morning - as of 5 hours ago, the count was at 820 dead.

and other links. "I'm moving In"  ;D

Tig love your pup stories! Sounds like everyone needs a Caturday nap!  ;D

Tsk, thanks for link to wasp trap  ;D ... enjoy your cooler temps, it's long overdue for all of you. I think we have maybe two more days of 90 degree weather and than it's 80 degree days.
The nice thing about living in a forest the temps always drop 30 degrees by morning and we can leave the windows open during the night. It was 61 this morning.

{{{Clynn}}} Kelsey looks adorable with her birthday gear on, she looks so happy! Love her hair cut. Birthday cupcakes look fantastic and yummy. How did you do the frosting? Awww Munchkins and Sydney... sorry about your wrist. OUCH! I sometimes carry my plastic grocery bags like that too. I have to remind myself not to try to make it in one trip. The interstate game will be a great one today! We've got tv on to big 12 games today. We'll watch that one too. Enjoy having the munchkins.... I love lost many items by putting it somewhere I thought I would remember, but it's never to be seen again, until I want to clean/or organize a drawer or something.  ::) .. I hope your wrist feels better. An ice bag might help. take care  :-*

Kb, Love the kitty hugs!  :-* ... I just read over 1000 dead in Morocco  :'(

Phyl, {{Savannah}}  ;D. Love the kitty cake! LOL!!! .. I don't think I've seen a dragonfly traffic jam  :o .... Now a Hummingbird traffic jam, I've seen that!  ;D

My very first "unique" trip after becoming Travel Advisor.  Would have been '94.  10 days traveling the 4 Imperial Cities (Morocco, Fez, Casablanca, Marrakesh).  Very unique style of living, attitudes, quiet, people/cities.  Beautiful to the max in the creation of buildings, earthenware, fabric, meals.   My momento would be 6 x 8 foot hand loomed carpet in my rec room.  A bit too big and too heavy; had it shipped back to US. 

I was going to say my oddest souvenir ever.  But then there was a 6' aspen tree in the back seat of a Firebird.  Still growing in the back yard.

OLDGUY  Sounds like the cars are demanding a lot of attention these days  ;)       I just saw 1,000 deaths.  There certainly will be lots of coverage on this today and ongoing. :'(   Cute Tequilla and Chou.  I was mesmerized by the precision walking team  :o   Hardly recognize Canon in D by the end  LOL  Nice to have the explanation behind the song choice on Q kids.

Good afternoon Beakers

I feel like a terrible Nanna.  I only took two pics of Sydney the whole time I was there, cause I was too busy holding and kissing on her.  Oh, and FaceTiming with my Mama, so she could see her. 
Here is one pic of Sydney that I took. 
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4f/73/62/4f7362ba08b8ca411de3363b94a9b2d2.jpg)

Phyl - Lizzie/Ziva got lots of pets and attention, and Stewie too! 

kb - Awww, adorable Tweet! So sad about the earthquake. 

((clynn)) - Oh no, I hope your wrist feels better soon.  Love the cupcakes for Kelsey, and she looks like one happy birthday girl! Yikes, on the two kitties jumping on each other cause the intruder was outside.  :-\

tsk - Thanks, and awww, love your morning smoochies pic. 

tig - Sure does sound like an adventure with the pups.  ;D  Cute pics of the pups.

oldguy - Glad the car appointment went well, but loose screws falling off, that sounds kinda dangerous.  Thanks for the videos.

Lani - Awww, so happy to see your post about Otis!  I was beginning to wonder if he was OK.  Yay, on the Royal fledge!

T40 - Thanks for the videos!

light shower & loud thunder this morning - then sunshine - high of 77

Lani - I can imagine how Sadie doesn't want coyotes coming around and then to smell that a skunk had sprayed! ::)   Thank you for posting Otis - love seeing him!!  Thank you for Albatross status!

Phyl - Love your cute graphic w/kitty & balloon!

LisaG - Hope you & Jeff had a wonderful visit with Sydney today!   Lisa, don't be too hard on yourself with not taking more pictures today - that happens to us too sometimes - we all get caught up in the moment and forget to use the camera.  So happy you had a beautiful visit with your Granddaughter. :)   Darling sweet pic of Sydney - she is so alert!!

Kb - Wow, that bee sure did get you good.  >:(  Thank goodness ice is helping.  I wonder if Cortizone would have helped?     That sure is a lot of Dragonflies passing thru!!!

Clynn - So happy to see that Kelsey enjoyed her special day - lots of fun, gifts, zoo, dinner, cupcakes, and family time - I don't think it can get any better!!   Sorry to hear about your wrist - definitely try not to use it - it needs complete rest!  Hope it gets better soon.

Tsk - Yes, we are getting LOTS of hummer activity right now - and we will enjoy them while they are here!! :)

Tig - Sounds like the pups are enjoying and letting some of the outsiders know that they should not try to trespass while they are staying with you - especially Zeus sounds protective.  Awe, hope Rosie's head is ok and that she didn't get too much of a headache. ;)    Love the pics - they sure are cuties!!

Kb - That is devastating news out of Morocco - saw it on this morning's news. :o :'(   That is so wonderful you still have those special Cannisters after all these years!

Oldguy - Seems like this is the month for Beakers to be getting their vehicles serviced/repaired!   Thank you for the updates and all good info.

Puff - So interesting in hearing about your trips and unique/special 'souvenirs'!!

I am late at posting today as this morning I helped my hubby get up and out of the house to take his Delorean to a nearby town for 'Cars n Coffee'.  It is not a formal car show, but its just a gathering that only lasts 2 hours; usually 8a - 10.
My Mom & sis came over around 11 and stayed about an hour & a half.  We had a nice little visit; we did some things with her phone and I made some copies of papers for her.
Then, I had to go uptown to a couple of stores.  Going out to do some water now.  Although we had a little rain this morning, it was not enough to register on our gauge. 

Thoughts & prayers for Morocco.

KB Goodness,  like a maturation or a hoard? We have a large creek just behind us and that's been the attraction in the past.   Kitty hugs is so touching.  :-*
              Very sad news Morocco earthquake

CLynn probably how you carried the bags as you said.  >:(   Do you have an ACE bandage? Just wrap for a sprain. I carry those grocery bags in a tote bag; great
            snaps of  Kelsey--great headband, looks so happy. Thank for sharing them w/us.  Do take care of that wrist.  Oh no---cat in bread bag. LOL

Tsk 'kitty smoochies' so cute---your Autumn temps

Tig enjoyed your puppy /kitty story; you look for 'poopies' and I look for 'hairballs'. ::)  Just saw your snaps---pooches look great.

OGglad to hear auto appt went well;  sweet kitty tryuing to find a home---I hope this had worked out ;tks for Hurricane Lee updates will read later; chicken breasts to
      marinate

Lani tks for Otis and Royal updates/snaps. Everyone looks great-even if it's a behind view (Otis) LOL. Manaaki  nd Quarry chick hovering won't be long, I wager.

T40 shy on time late on dinner will view later  knowing videos will be worth it. Hope all's well for you.

Lisa that little face is getting expressive--- ;)  such a cute girl

Puff some interesting souvenirs


Think I'm caught up.Oh wait...

E4E bet it was fun racing around town in a Delorean.  ;) LOL   Congrats on the hummer volume.

Rosie says, girls know how to pose for the camera!  Cutie!

Lisa, that picture is wonderful!   VEry suitable for framing!  Sydney sure looks older than she is!  I think she will be starting school soon! How did your mother like her?  This picture almost looks like she is looking at her during face time!  Now tell me, does Lizzie know  or remember you and Jeff? Curious.

Had a good friend who lived and worked in Morocco for a year,  she loved Marrakech and had a lot of interesting things from there. Terrible disaster! I remember when .grace kelly married thePrince and later when she died.
Lani, thanks for the report on Otis and the Royal As.  I wish they could stay put!  So many dangers in the world with junk floating in the ocean fooling things to think it is food!  Kills them.  Shame on us!
My perfect dog got out of the yard last night because my perfect lan crew left the gate open!  Dark out and hard to see. Black dog.  My neighbor as going to get her car and search and as she called her Piper came running!  Several lessons  learned.get light and talk to lawn crew. I almost had a heart attack!
Great day for Kelsey.  You did good clynn!  Enjoyed the pictures!
Temps a tad cooler but still in the upper 80s.   

Two very large birds flew over the house yesterday afternoon.  Yard guy thought they were buzzards but the wings were not black and there was a very large wing span on them.   Have to research this a little.  Could be an advance scouting party of the whopping cranes from Wisconsin.  I will never really know but fun to see the graceful flight!

Eagles, I bet Kris gets a lot comments over his Delorean... Even though it was cloudy day, I couldn't count on rain, so I watered plants too.

Tsk, Puff, Congratulations and amen Coco Gauff, so young, many great years ahead!

54 degrees heading to 77 and sunny  Humidity 96% but low dew point 52

PUFF   Agree about the spontaneous kneeling in prayer...

KAREN   That is so scary when the gate isn't closed.  Years ago when SIL Barb's husky got out for the same reason - it attacked a neighbor's cat.    Of course Barb and Tom had a lot of medical expenses to pay for the cat.  Now just to be sure, it is one more thing you have to do is check each time...sigh.  So glad Piper responded to her name.

LANI   Otis has the river to himself  ;)

tsk - Remembering ((Jpalm))  A good rain day for us today.  I think that pic is my favorite one of Sydney, too.  Those big blue eyes!

Lani - Thank you  :-*  Yesterday was a really nice day.  I was so glad that I could Facetime with my Mama, so she could see Sydney. Awww, Otis!

karen - Thank you  :-*  I told Kelly that yesterday, that she looks older than a 1 month old.  My mama loved being able to see her.  I know she wishes she was here to hold and kiss on her, too.  No, I don't think Lizzie/Ziva remembers us at all.  But, she loves Bradley...she is attached to him at the hip!  Awww, so glad that Piper knows her name and came back running! 

Phyl - Thank you  :-*  Aww, thank you Jim!

E4E - Thank you  :-*  Sounds like you had a busy day yesterday.

The Munchkins wore me out yesterday, well, I should say Bella wore me out! Papa had a bag pf balloons, she had such fun with them, blowing them up and letting them go, coloring on them, and then popping them!

Erin and Sydney had a good time at the game, it took then over four hours to get there even though it's less than 30 miles. I guess the traffic was horrendous with all the politicians attending the game. The Iowa Hawkeyes won, that was Erin & Bella's team! Notice the Hawkeyes dress Bella has on, Papa found that at the thrift store...  ANF - America Needs Farmers!

Lani, Otis is a very smart old bear, fishing at night when everyone else is asleep! Thanks for the Albatross videos, we will miss them when they take off...

Phyl, I ordered some compression gloves, hopefully that will help my weak wrist! Hmmm, I wonder, my sister Cathy broke both of her wrists when we were pre-teens, maybe weak wrists somehow in the DNA? Our high 76 today with rain coming!

Lisa, what a sweet picture of Sydney, I love her beautiful eyes! She changes a little bit with each picture! When Bella was that little virtually all of the pictures I took of her were on Wednesday, when I had her all day and when she was asleep!  I bet you will be getting some babysitting jobs in the future! So Glad your Mom was able to see her!

T40, I will enjoy the videos today!

Puff, I also imagine your house containing many interesting items from all over the world!

tsk, I never even thought of putting ice on my wrist until you mentioned it - duh! Just took Advil. Still a tiny bit sore today, but I was busy yesterday and didn't get to rest it like I should have. I am doing basically nothing today!  jpalm, nice memories... One of your butterflies made it down to Ed's niece in Georgia!

karen, OMGoodness, so glad Piper is home! Stern words for the lawn guys, I am sure!

oldguy, I am sure you were cheering for the Hawkeyes! Glad your car is fixed! When I was going to college my dad changed a flat tire for me, back when you put the real spare tire on. I went somewhere and when I got back home I told him the car was acting funny. He got this look on his face and went straight out to the tire he had changed. He finger tightened the lug nuts but forgot to go back and tighten them with the tire wrench!

tig, Zeus and Rosie are cuties!  Glad you got to spend an hour sniffing for poopies and interlopers! LOLOL! My sister's dog wanted out so she could do just that, sniff every blade of grass. And that takes time!

Black Eagle Project Roodekrans - The Juvenile of 2023 has Fledged!
Finally, at 96 days old, Juve 23 decided to fly off the nest. All indications are that the Juvenile flew off the nest late yesterday afternoon. When we arrived this morning she was already off the nest. At 07.10 this morning she flew off a ledge below the nest, our first sighting of her flying. A little careful initially, but as the morning past, she gained more confidence and and the distance of each flight increased. Our Monitors and a number of Photographers have been spending every morning at the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens to witness the event. Today didn't disappoint.

CLynn  Bella so cute in her Hawkeyes cheerleading outfit--how cool Erin finding that dress for her! Glad everyone enjoyed the game.

Good outfit Ed found for Bella!  Little cheerleader but I do not think she paid much attention to the game!  Looks like a fun time clynn!  Take care of your wrist!

Well, Good Morning! 76 degrees, 90 %humidity and dew point of 71,  going to 87 today and a few 90 degree days next week with a few in the middle 80s. Hurricane Lee down to a cat 2 but expected to regrow to cat 4 status.  Predict tidal issues and giant swells on or east coast but no land fall predictions!  I think Jpalm may be guiding this big gut away from land as he continues sailing the heavenly skies!  Rip

Good Morning Beakers

Heading for 81 today, dew point in upper 50s and peaking at low 60s when the rain is forecast overnight...

As Karen mentioned, Hurricane Lee is down to 105 mph this morning (Cat2) but forecast to rise again to Cat4 in the next 3 days.  No change on the expected path this morning.  Long range path spaghettis have tightened, but as BL mentioned, the accuracy of them are no better that any other 10 day forecast.  But it appears that Lee will make first landfall in Canada as a Cat1.

LISA  Nice fall opening for you today  ;D  Ziva and Bradley bonding - That's nice .  How do the cats respond to Sydney and vice versa?

CLYNN  Always love your bright and cheerful AM greetings - thanks for taking the time   :) :-*  Love that 3rd pic of Bella laughing  LOL  That's the biggest problem going to big games like that esp if there is no public transportation to get there.  In a city this big we are glad that in most places the el or train can get you at least closer to your goal.  Not to say there aren't traffic tie-ups as well.    I recognize that monarch  ;) ;)   Oh boy  - could have lost the whole tire when Dad changed it for you.  Bet that never happened again  LOL    How wonderful for all the Black eagles boots on the ground - We know what that feels like  :)    I've never seen a rhody that big.  I'm glad she has lived long enough to see it that big.   A little support on that wrist might not be a bad thing for awhile.

KB  Packers and Bears after the Vikings today.  Same time as the Men's US open finals..... :o

PHYL    When I empty it and put fresh formula in - I've never seen a bee...

Oldguy, good game night.. the news of Morocco death toll  :'(

Karen, I pray Lee stays away.

Tig, {{{Zeus}}}.  pups left?  :(

Kb, beautiful kitty! LOL!  ;) ;D ... now it's SKOL season!  ;D

Clynn, Great pics!  ;D Love Miss Bella in the Iowa Hawkeye cheerleader dress! Ed is a fantastic thrift shopper!  ;D It was a good game, it was on Mike's football schedule!  ;D ... the  compression gloves will help, along with putting ice on your wrist and Advil...Aleve works for me. My fingers don't work as they use too, and I'm constantly busy working with them. LOL! So it's aleve daily... beautiful butterfly... oh I forgot to mention yesterday. the electric pot for water is used many times during the day. Sun tea ... I also par boil the veggies before grilling or oven. Boil water and then pour over veggies, let sit for 8 minutes. It keeps it green, drain, cover with marinade then bake or grill for 3 minutes or so.... Aly had a pot downstairs too for herbal tea... Black Eagle Juve is gorgeous and those intense eyes!

Lisa, I bet your mom will want to visit her little great granddaughter soon. Glad to hear Ziva has settled in... all is well for the happy family then   :)

Tsk, Lovely temps for you today.... Good idea to double check gate. I check the lower patio/dog run gate every night before night falls, even though we may not use it as regularly as we did when Aly lived downstairs.

Good Afternoon Beakers

Phyl - Stewie doesn't seem jealous at all.  Bradley pays attention to them both, but Lizzie will sit in the office with him while he works, and Stewie will stay in the living or bedroom with Kelly.

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins, and I can see why they wore you out.  ;D  I hope there is some baby-sitting jobs in my future.  I hope your wrist is feeling a lil better today.

kb & tig - Good luck to your Vikings. 

karen - I am not sure when Mama is coming to visit.  Sydney's eyes look dark in the pics, but they are a blue/gray, Bradley's color.  Kelly has brown eyes.

Lori - Hey there, how are you doing?

oldguy - Thanks for the info on Lee, and yay on your card win!

tsk - The kitties don't seem to mind Sydney at all, and vice versa.  Bradley said, they look at her and walk away.

Lani - Love your morning pic.  I hope Mama will visit soon.

BAZI  What a final match and was so glad that Coco Gauff won.  What a mature young lady.  I'm presuming you did not see the match  :'(

TSK, no, I did not see it, BUT I finally found the US Open radio play by play live coverage online at usopen.org ... so I listened to the Ladies Singles Championship match yesterday live on my ipad in split screen with the stats and point description of the games, live scores and summary as the match progressed, in the other tab, while listening to the live radio audio - all from the usopen.org online web site. Only thing was, there was a slight delay in the live radio play-by-play, so I could see the live score progress a little bit before hearing it on the radio. LOL.  ;)  But it was excellent live play-by-play calling and commentary on that live USopen.org radio broadcast! I'm doing the same right now as I type - listening to the Womens Doubles Championship match, live... I will also listen live on the USOpen.org live radio online this afternoon when the Mens Singles Championship match starts at 4pm... should be close, I'm guessing. We'll see. I haven't decided who I might pull for - Djokovic going for a historic record 24 majors titles if he wins today!!! But it would be nice for Medvedev to win in a way, too, since Djokovic can be so cocky at times, LOL, but I guess he's earned it - he's the best man playing right now, maybe of all time, but Medvedev has beaten him before, but Medvedev must be feeling it after the big match he had beating Alcaraz in the semifinals! I LOVED that Gauff won the Ladies Singles Championship yesterday!! She is great for tennis! a wonderful attitude, with great sportsmanship, and she is playing great right now! It was an exciting match, with her coming back from losing that 1st set, to then winning the next 2 sets for the BIG WIN! Yay!! I got to listen to the whole Trophy ceremony afterward and then interviews with both players, also.

O! HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


Remembering, and missing, JPALM. I loved spending time with him in Forum, and he "PM"ed me from time to time. He was such a wonderful and caring person.


(((Clynn))), OUCH! on your painful wrist injury! I know it might be hard to do, but it will make a difference in how fast it improves if you can not use it. Glad it's not your lead hand - you're right-handed... right?  Anyway, I hope it gets better fast! Great pics of Kelsey and the family while she opened her b'day pics - YAY! She got the cat paw print hooded T!  :D  Your cupcakes turned out great!! Why doesn't Kelsey like to eat them? It looks like all enjoyed her b'day time together!  :-*  How does it feel for you to have a daughter that's older than you are now?!?!?   ;D ;) ;D ;) ;D  Love the pics of The Munchkins! Great Game Day cheer outfit for Bella! She must be a good cheerleader, her team won!  ;) :D

(((Karen))), I know that must've scared you to death! I almost had a heart attack just reading about your Perfect Dog's accidental night escape!!! OMG!!! I'm sooo glad all turned out okay! Bless your sweet neighbor who was going to go out looking for Piper for you! I know you were relieved when Piper came running back, and no harm!! Thank goodness!  :-* :-*

Lisa, oh my! Look at your sweet grand, Sydney!!  :-*  What a wonderful picture you got of her!! Did you and your mom spill happy tears when you were all together Face-Timing the first time your mom got to see her great granddaughter? I would've cried, for sure. So sweet!!  :-* :-*

Tig, awww.. love the pics of the cutie pie pups!  :-* :-* They had loads of fun staying "bizzy" in your yard!  :D  Glad you got to spend some fun time with them this weekend.

Oldguy, thank goodness no harm came from both instances of those loose bolts/screws on your car!! Some good cards last night.

E4E, fun to do the Cars and Coffee... has Kris already finished the Delorean?

Love the beautiful pic of giraffe getting a drink of water. :)

Karen - OMGosh, I can only imagine how scared you must have been when you saw the crew had left the gate open. :o ::)  So glad that Piper came running when she heard her name being called!   It would be interesting if you can see the two large birds again fly over your yard and maybe see what kind they are!

Lani - Like the goodnight pic of Otis in his 'office'  ;D   I know you miss JPalm very much - he is missed. :(

Tsk - Thank you for the reminder of the anniversary of JPalm's passing. RIP     Everytime I see a gorgeous butterfly, I think of you!

Puff - I agree with what you said about thanks and gratitude!

LisaG - I am surprised that Lizzie/Ziva doesn't seem to remember you, but I would think that somehow you are definitely familiar to her.   So good that you face timed with your Mama while you were visiting your Granddaughter. :-*   Hope your Mama can hold her in the near future! :)

Clynn - Cute/fun pic of Bella - I can see that she is a bundle of high energy!  Papa had a great idea in getting those balloons!  The Munchkins sure have wonderful quality time with you & Ed!! 8) ;D   Love the dress - Ed is a smart/good shopper!!    Clynn, hope your wrist feels better soon even though you are quite a busy Grandma, Mom, & Wife!! ;D
Thank you for posting Black Eagle Roodekrans fledge - fantastic pics!!
Wow - gorgeous Rhododendron - amazing!!!! The cute lady who planted it, looks so small next to it!!

Kb - Beautiful 'Sub-adult'!!!  You always post great animal pics.  SKOL for you & Tig!!!  Unbelievable the amount of dragonflies around your house/yard!! ;D

Tig - Oh no, lap cold!  You know what that means, you will just need to warm it up again  ;) :)  SKOL!!

Lori - Nice 'feel better' for Clynn's wrist  :)   Hope you & Destini are doing well.  :)

Baz - Sure sounds like amazing Tennis being played!!  Sweet pic of Etta!!  Kris says he still has more work/detail to do on the Delorean, but it is already a 'clean' and beautiful car because of the tremendous amount of time he has put into it!

Oldguy - I will show hubby that link!  Thank you! 8)

Beakers enjoy the rest of your afternoon.  I need to get ready to head out for my Grandson's game!

They  all are advertised  as including  bees and  bumble bees I don't mind  bumble bees at all.  Been leaning toward the very last one above as it specifies 'hornets'. Says it can eventually dehydrate them.  :o

Cool link OG I saved it ---you know we have a large creek just over the retention pond behind us. Since dragonflies lay eggs on/in water. I'm sure we'd have hatchlings at the very least. Since they migrate south as KB says, gosh we could have   :o.

Here is a solution that will attract and kill wasps and hornets, but not bees - a mixture of vinegar, sugar and salt.  Honey bees and bumble bees are not attracted to vinegar or salt.

Tsk, We're going to have to buy a wasp/hornet trap. A funny thing happened today. On our 2nd floor patio I moved a planter box to start my fall planting and a swarm of wasps came upon me. I have three bites, one on the top of my head, arm and back of leg. The one of my head is the most painful. I grabbed the bee and it dug in as I was trying to pull it out of my hair. Thankfully I had my gloves on. I put Sting Kill swabs on the bites immediately.  We found the wasp nest between a hole in the shingles. Mike bought wasp spray and sprayed the whole can down the hole. Bees were flying about and by 6pm they seemed to be still.... Walgreen's pharmacist suggested something more for the bite on my head. The head bite is more uncomfortable, the other two bites itches. It'll be fine.

Lisa, awww Sydney, you could just about swim in those beautiful eyes....

Baz, yep, gorgeous Etta wanted to sleep for Caturday.  ;D ... Jpalm was very special and kind man. Like our Horst... and Oldguy  ;D

Eagles,  Maybe when the restoration on the car is completed we can see a pic or two?  ;)  I hope your grandson and his team did well! I bet it was a lovely day as well for you and Kris, even though you both were at separate events.

Oldguy, Miri like a younger version of Maru, she was so cute with the toy bird... interesting video on the dragonfly. I never really thought about them before.

SED Phyl, thank you for more suggestions of wasp traps.... stunning sunset.

Tig, congratulations to your brother!  :)

Kb, sorry about the Vikings game.... I'll tell Mike about the MJ documentary. He may enjoy it.

Otis is back in his office doing the night shift at Brooks Falls :-*

Good night!

Another golden evening with Iris.
She is sitting on the top of the rear light all the way to the right.  Still eating her fish. #BeAnIris!

TIG  Congrats to bro. What was it for -" best in show" ?    End of this month my bro is taking his 911 Porsche to a show...

LANI   I' m cringing just reading your description of that event.  You mention both bees and wasps in the same story?  I've never had a bite on my head before.  Hope today you are a bit better.

Lani, goodness! Your poor head! I don't think I have ever had a hornet sting! But I do know the feeling of some flying bug getting caught in your hair! Eeek! Yes, there is something special about a guy who enjoys the company of a bunch of women in a chat room, jpalm, EagleDuck and oldguy - all a special kind of guy! If they say that is Iris on that light pole, I believe it!

Phyl, pretty sunset on the Flyway...

oldguy, wonderful video for Miri's third birthday!  She is learning from Maru! I cracked up when Maru came from the left side pushing the cart with the beer bon on his head!  What a cat!

E4E, hope your grandson had a good game and Kris had a good time at the car show!

baz, loved the pic of Etta just laying around like she was a cat with nothing to do! Glad you got to see some tennis!

tsk, yes, it's 9/11 again and we all think back to that day 22 years ago...

Good Morning Beakers

The biggest news this morning is that Kilauea started erupting again last night - a large number of fountains across the drop step floor of the crater.
Live Kilauea Eruption   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0CE0A62TU4

We still have rain this morning - total of .64 since 6pm last night - moderate rain now with a few hours to go possible...  Forecast high of 67 for the day.

Further research on the home made wasp traps/killer shows that vinegar is an irritant to the wasps/hornets and is a repellant to bees.  The dish soap causes break down of the exoskeleton, leading to their death.  The sugar is the main attractant.  here is the basic proportions 
Homemade Wasp Killer
▢ Dawn dish soap 1 part.
▢ Water 3 parts.
▢ ¼ cup Vinegar optional.

Our store started carrying a group of products by the company "Rescue"  -   https://www.rescue.com/products/traps/why-trap-for-wasps-hornets-yellowjackets/
These products are all listed as honey bee safe.

Morning oldguy, karen, Puff and all  :)

tsk - We must be getting some of your weather today.  Jeff forgot his electronic badge to get into the building this morning, and I had to drive over to bring it to him.  Not a drop of rain in the sky till I got off the bridge on the Annapolis side, then it was like a heavy down pour all the way to his work and back home. 

Phyl - I remember reading that about Steve Buscemi.

Lani - Oh my gosh, the bee stings!  I hope you are feeling better, especially the one on your head.

kb and tig - Sorry about your teams  :(

E4E - I am surprised Lizzie/Ziva did not recognize us either, but both Jeff and I played with her too while we were there.  She is a friendly kitty.  Did your grandson win his game?

baz - Yes, this was Mama's first time seeing Sydney on FaceTime.  Bradley sends Mama pics of her when he sends them to me and Jeff, so she gets plenty of pics.

clynn - Glad to hear that your wrist is feeling better.

Early morning fog - sunny later - high of 71

Lani - So sorry to hear about those wasp bites you endured.  Hope you heal soon.  So glad Mike took care of them. 

Tsk - Hubby had a great day at the car show; he won a plaque for best of show for '1980-present' (Delorean is a 1981).  He is a social guy and enjoys all the folks!

Tig - Congrats on your Bro's trophy win at the Ford car show!

Oldguy - Good info for wasp solution.   Thank you for Kilauea info & link.

Kb - Vikings  :(    It is amazing how Ollie is so alert & aware that if anything changes at all, he brings your attention to it! :)

Phyl - Good story on actor Steve Buscemi - thank you for sharing.

Clynn - I did enjoy my afternoon at our Grandson's fb game yesterday and they won!  Weather was perfect too (not too hot)!   Glad your wrist is better  :)

LisaG - Nice to know that Lizzie/Ziva is doing so well & happy - I'm sure you both love to see her! :-*   Wonderful that Bradley sends his Grandma pics of Sydney too!! ;D

Hi Puff, Karen, Lori  :)

Always remembering 9-11

E4E - Congrats to your hubby! Awesome...

Ok... what the heck? Who is next? I've been in and out last night after dark and early this morning setting and moving the sprinkler. After coming inside one time this a.m. I made breakfast and then went to the bathroom. I heard a loud buzzing. I located the Large bumble bee and removed it. Yipes! Did he/she come in on my person? Or just fly in? Shivers...
BBL

And... yes, we will Never Forget... heads bowed... 3 days B4 our wedding... and impromptu honeymoon.

Jim was still flying corporate during 911 --- FAA grounded all non essential flights. He was stuck in Joplin , Mo for a week. I got up late that morning as my habit back then turned on TV for The Today Show and lo and behold Matt Lauer was commenting on set and the picture was the first tower just as airliner struck. I was flabbergasted and stunned at the least.  One can only imagine what those people went through!


 
{{{Lani}}} I've been stung by wasps. And those hurt like H377 !  All I know is bees and wasps don't hang out together as wasps will kill bees practically on sight.   Especially at the hive entrance as wasps love honey and will kill bees for it.    Do take care esp on the 'ol noggin .  That really smarts. So sorry.  :(  Hope you're doing better today!

OG thanks for the proportions for the hornet lure/poison. ANd, the 'Rescue' info.  ;)     And appreciate the other links, read later.

CLynn tks for Sydney Sea Eagle update, luv the snaps

Lisa I rather doubted Lizzie would remember you as she was so young when you gave her up to AC.  One day you will bring Sydney's Great Grand Ma to meet her. What a joyous day.  ;)
 
E4E congrats to your grandson on his f/b game win

T40 enjoyed the 911 post

Tig never knew a bumble bee to attack ; I've had them light on my shoulder or hover in my face. I think the main thing is not to panic or bat /grab at them.
       That way  they don't get defensive. Be my guess. Take care.

Love this picture...

Morning all, been very busy since early this morning.

Sorry Lani, sounds awful about the stings...and on your head!.....ugg, my one sting or two? on my finger has only just now stopped itching...8 days....the ice worked the best for me...
Saw several yellow jackets in the grass while I was watering this morning.

Also watched a cooper's hawk fly through my back yard, chase and I hope not catch a smaller bird....I was watching all the birds come in as I aimed the hose high to reach my lower hydrangea, they appreciated the water.....lots of warning calls too.

Later.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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 and Jim}}} Mike was to fly out of Wichita, KS for a trip to CA that September 11th afternoon... of course, I pleaded with him to cancel immediately, but that wasn't necessary. We'll never forget that day, or the day JFK was killed. There are some days that will live within each of us forever.  :'(

{{{Tig}}} ugh, a bee.... I understand... you take care  :)

Eagles, Congratulations Kris and to your grandson!!! A successful day for all!!  ;D

Lisa, Glad you arrived home safely after the rainstorm. Is it still raining?.... you know how cats are, very unforgiving when you leave them. Ziva was probably doing a fake ignore on you. LOL!  ;D ... Milo is the opposite, when I return home, he starts his demanding high pitch meow! over and over! I literally run and open a can for him before I do anything. He's got me trained. ::)

Oldguy, We followed your suggestion and ordered the "Rescue" trap which arrives Wednesday. I'm going to make the vinegar recipe this morning. Thanks  :)....  Shannon sent us a text about Kilauea after I posted in the Beak. Madam Pele is letting her feelings be known.

{{{Clynn}}} I think the compression gloves will help, I'd use them. Mike uses c socks now and it makes a difference  :).... I hope your wrist continues healing, I think the  yep, if Hellgate chatters say it's Iris, then it is. There are at least 40+ that keep a close watch from the dead tree, owl pole, nest, and you remember how she would go to the stadium lights at night sometimes. As long as I see the fencing up around her nest, I know she's still there and watching over her territory. Bless her.... Sea Eaglets  :-* ....  22 years since 9-11, it doesn't seem possible. In some ways it feels like yesterday.  :'(

Phyl, wonderful story of Steve Buscemi, so many unsung heros of that tragic day. Thanks for posting.

Tsk, Bees are still active, I'm going to try Oldguy's recipe. I didn't sleep well last night, the bite on my head has a sore area. Like I had been hit by a board or something. I'll call pest control if the vinegar/sugar/water doesn't work.... oh my 9-11 porsche.  :)

CLYNN   Wrist is better - Yay.    Did some errand driving today and 911was the focus of WGN talk.  Every time this story is reviewed I hear about different sad experiences.

OLDGUY   Gee what is going on with the Hawaiian Is. ???   Raining here all day so will check my gauge later   Very interesting piece by Lesley.  I would have flunked that quiz hands down!!   ;D ;D    That "Rescue" product looks very interesting BUT it seems you would need to buy a whole new unit each time you emptied the dead insects - UNLESS they sell the fluid attractants separately?

LISA  I believe that you don't have to drive far  to see such a difference in weather.  Jeff needs to keep his badge in the car?  LOLOL

EAGLES   WOW  congrats to Kris - Have we ever seen a pic of this car?  Hope this bodes well for my bro at the end of the month with 2 bros already winning prizes  LOL

tsk - I do not know how he forgot that badge this morning.  It was right on the dresser next to his wallet.  He didn't forget that.   ::)

Lani - Thanks for the Royal video.  The rain had stopped about an hour after I arrived back home.  LOL, Milo! 

kb - Love that picture, too. 

Phyl - If Mama doesn't come here, I am sure we will go down there and visit her.  She is thinking about spreading my Dad's ashes this coming April, so we might all make the trip for that. 

tig - Yikes, on the bee!

T40 - Good 9/11 post.

Lisa, oh lawww... you had to get Jeff's badge!  There was very tight security where I used to work. If we forgot out badge, even if the security guard on duty at the door knew us, we still couldn't get in, of course. The main entrance security guard desk had a list of the senior management, and their phone numbers, who were allowed to sign in people who had forgotten their badges. The guard would call one to come down to the main entrance to sign in the person who didn't have their badge. Embarrassing! LOL. Then we had to wear a stick-on paper Visitor Badge all day, or till we got our regular badge. That meant we didn't have a way to open the secure doors between whichever depts that our badges normally would've been coded to let us in. A real pain in the you know what, but at least we could get in after a person with those privileges came down to sign us in.

Guide Dog Roselle was asleep under her owners desk on the 78th floor of the WTC when the plane crashed. Roselle calmly led Michael to stairwell B, and despite the smoke and noise surrounding her, led her owner and 30 other people down 1,463 steps out of the tower to safety 🥰

Yours, too, kb

I have to share mine with you and kb
They were interviewing some support ground cleanup person who had quite a lot of time in.  I have to believe it was a legitimate happening-

He said for an extended time while shifting through debris and remnants they would come upon cell phones.  They rescued the phones and saved them in a container.  Occasionally one of the phones would ring and someone would answer it.  He said the outcomes of who was on the other end where always emotional and fulfilling.

Actually he didn't say that or much after he mentioned that someone would answer the phone - But you could see the emotions.  Were any of you on the same channel at the same time as I was?

baz - What an adorable pic of Punkin on her first day of Kindergarten!  Jeff's building is the same, very tight security.  They have an armed guard at the front entrance, and you have to go thru a metal detector every time you go in or out the building.  The badge is used to get inside the glass doors from the parking garage to take the elevator down to the first floor to where the guards are, so you can get into the building.  The badge also lets personnel know if you are in the building or not.  The badge is also used to open different doors on different floors of the building. 

Kb - Aww, Roselle!

Good evening!   Busy day today so had time to read and no time to write!  Thanks for all the posts ,remembrances , pictures etc! Baz, did not realize lgn had so much red in her hair!  Cute and i hope the first day was great!
E4e, congrats to Kris and your grandson. Pics of the car, please.  Tig, congrats to you too.
Had heard about Roselle before.  A great story.  She got cancer they think from inhaling so much junk.
H6ave verified the large birds I saw over my house were Whopping Craned.  There sre some who reside in Haihira, a small town just north of me?  Always pays to look to the skies!  Also, there was a lone flamingo living on the coast south of Tallahassee.  After the hurricane some others flew in and he is no longer alone!  Shall be on the look out for a flash of pink in the sky!
Clynn, hope you are continuing to rest your wrist.

Lani, wow, glad you got the nest sprayed!  Hope you can sleep better tonight.
For those watching Hurricane Lee.  While it  dropped in intensity it has picked up speef and Margo has joined in for a little fun. Believe both will stay in the ocean but will head north!  That is as of a few hours ago!  Do watch for rip tides and large swells if you go to the ocean.  Have a good night all.

Phyl - You mention watching the 'Today Show' on 9/11 and seeing Matt Lauer - I was getting ready for work and turned on the tv as I always did while getting ready for work, and saw Katie Couric as she was telling the news of the situation. 

Kb - Love the pic this morning.  That is a wonderful story of that guide dog Roselle - beautiful  :-* :-*  Thank you.

Lani -  I hope your bee stings heal quickly.  We keep a can of Wasp-killer on hand because you never know when you will need it! 

Tsk - I know that I need to post a pic of the car - but there just doesn't seem to be the perfect one.  I should just post a couple of what I have!

Bazi - Oh no - you must have been fit to be tied when the tennis finals got blacked out on you. :o ::)   I can't believe your littlest G-niece is in Kindergarten now!!  Love her sweet darling cute picture!!

Lori - Love the remembrances you posted for 9/11.

LisaG - If you don't mind me asking, how long ago did your father pass?   Nice of you to drive Jeff's badge over to him!  This past Sunday, Kris called me as soon as he arrived at the car show, saying he had forgotten his wallet - so I had to drive it over to him - it was only about a 10-12 minute drive.  We do what we can to help our hubbys!

Puff - Wow, can't imagine the emotion on those cell phones . . . .

Kb, awww I remember the story of Roselle and her owner and what they went through.  :'(

Puff, I can't imagine answering someone's phone from that day :'(

Lisa, I didn't realize Jeff worked in a very security conscious business.  :)

Karen, oh my Hurricane Lee and now Margo that you have to watch out for.... glad the lone Whooping Crane has company  :)

Eagles, we have Wasp spray handy too, but it's been years since we've had to use it.... we've never been bothered by the bees before. so this has been a bit of a shock.... my head feels like a dull ache tonight. I'm sure I'll sleep better.  :)

F16's sonic booming that night unsettled us.

I was in NYC on that blue bird morning of 09/11/2001. blocks from the 1st hit.

What the ...

PTSD solid from that.   

Powerful counter clockwise spinning Hurricanes and their cones that start to get up into our 40°/70° wheelhouse always concern us.
We watch closely where we is now in upstate NY as well as the NJ 'homestead'.
 
The latest NHC cone is looking a little better for us here now.
 
Lee.
Much worse for someone else however.

Lee is going to expand it's wind field as the North pole grabs it for sure.

Lots of wet ground with a still full wind catching canopy.

Coast ME & NS big time heads up. You know. BL.

The 5 Day Cone from the NHC, intensity, forward speed, and ultimate track will vacillate E & W for sure over the next 120 hrs.   
 
We watch here.

Totally shitty camping rainy weather here today.

The right type of mud/clay makes a bee sting itch go away after 24 hrs.
Kb I'm pretty sure there was hippo poop in mine.

Getting wood, water and other coffee matters in order this AM.

Saw a BE clean snag a good size fish from the mist off the lake.

The lake name I would tell you if I knew it .. we're a might bit turned around at present ..

Pip & I Love it.

Owl's taking their dinner will put us to sleep and steer us.

Lani - Jeff works for the State Judicary, lots of Court officials in his building, as well as the data center for the court system.  Beautiful good night pic.

E4E - No, I don't mind you asking.   :)  My dad passed in 2020.  He and my mom have donated their bodies to the Univ of Alabama for medical purposes/schooling when they pass.  The Univ of Alabama keeps your body for two years for schooling, then they will cremate you and send you back to your loved one or ones.  Hope that's not too much info.

Phyl, 50 right now, 76 for the high. Wonder how long before a structure will be built on Mars?  Your Home Alter has some very important issues...

Lisa, love your morning pic, makes me want to go camping and have some campfire coffee! A nice thing your folks set up.

BL, OMG, I can't imagine being in NYC on 9/11! We were on a sisters trip to NYC in 1999, we all have these pictures framed, the NYC skyline take from Ellis Island I think, and atop one of the twin towers.  Camping in the rain...soggy....

kb, ladybug face off! Or just gossiping?  ;D

Lani, sorry to hear that your head bite is still bothering you, you must have been bitten by the big daddy of the nest! My Dad used to have an old wasp nest sitting on the shelf in the 3 Season room. I can't remember if he sprayed it or if it was just abandoned, but it was a work of art! Always enjoy the Royals videos, and news of Otis!

baz, love the pic of Lil' Punkin on her first day of Kindergarten!  She wants to be an Artist, and Bella wants to be a Volleyball Player. We'll see how that goes...  ;D ;D

Puff, oh those cell phones recovered from 9/11, cannot imagine...

Lori, beautiful 9/11 tributes...

What's Happening Edwards County - Albion, IL (Hometown) They have razed the old Stewarts Grocery store and Dry Goods. I remember shopping in the Dry Goods, on the right side (where the Antiques sign is). They had a little bit of everything. Ladies hose (this was before pantyhose!), embroidery floss, some clothing, some kitchen items and so forth. And those awful PE uniforms we had to wear. The counter was all wood with the stools attached to the floor, and the high cabinets behind the counter with the ladder that moved. 1966/67

KAREN  Interesting bird ID - Cranes fly with head and neck extended and herons with neck retracted  :)  Whoopings all white, sandhills smaller and brownish  ;)

EAGLES   LOL  Reminds me of Tim's trip to Door county a couple weeks and his leaving his duffle here  LOL  I did not drive it to him however  LOL

LISA  Your AM coffee pot has seen many a camp fire  ;)   Bodies of parents donated to science.  Originally I was going to do that but took my self off the list when I married Tim....

LANI   Hope your head is feeling better today  :-*

BL  You and Pip are amazing adventurers - lucky to meet each other  ;D  Sorry this trip is rainy so far but the eagle fishing has to make up for part of it  ;) ;)

KB  Cute ladybugs  :)

PHYL   Perseverance creating 02 on Mars - Amazing science.  :o

9/11/01 - Attending an early morning 8A meeting by Costa Rica at the Soffitel O'Hare.  Disruption from phones ringing - please mute your phones people.  Couldn't get out of hotel or on the expressway home.  Sat at TV for days.  "Those ugly S.O.B.'s!!!!!
And Now ????  Yesterday we - no not we - he commemorated the date by giving Iran another $6 billion ?  to ply their trades.  Am I missing something?  I'll bet the date was not just a coincidence.  You think?  What is going on? 

Good news for Lani and others interested. . .I've been getting posts from Maui about Maui.  You must remember that the west coast of Maui has 4 vacationing areas.  Lahaina is on the miles long beach between a couple of these areas.

Posts are good news about the opening of the other areas.  Those areas are able to recover because their new construction, newer construction, meant they were"safer" than Lahaina.  Poor, sweet, original Lahaina.  Can't imagine any way to restore the spirit, traditions, history of their pretty destination.  But they are planning to replace as much as they can since they still have the memories, traditions, and hearts they had before.  Maybe just not so much wood on the wood buildings.  And, they have the Hawaiians, and the Hawaiians are determined.  They are a traditional, culture driven citizenry.  Please for those especially if you've never done so, make plans to visit #50.  Meet the history of the people, see a beautiful part of the world, support their visions.

Well Puff, enough politics, but the money to Iran was their money, not ours, and was released to them in exchange for  5 Americans being held in prison. I think it was suggested that the bombers or high jackers on 911 were Saudis!  At least 15 of the 19 were Saudis.  None were from Iran. The money , just released was frozen in 1979 in retribution for seizure  of the US embassy in Tehran. The money Must be used for food medicine and other humanitarian purposes.  Take any more comments off line and continue to keep politics off the Beak!

Phyl - We noticed on our drive over to Bradley's this weekend, that some of the leaves are already starting to change.  Our temps have been in the upper 60's at night, and this week will be in the upper 50's. 

clynn - I love the old coffee pot.  How is the wrist?  Still feeling good?

tsk - Parents decided to do this a while back after Mama was up here visiting me for a week, and my dad went to the funeral home to check out to see how much it costs to be buried.  He almost had a heart attack when they told him. He was like, ummm no.  I don't need all that hoop-la!  ;D

Overcast & cloudy - later warming to 68

Lani - Love your 'nite' pic.  Hope you slept better last night and that your bee stings are healing nicely.

LisaG - I did not know this about your folks. If you had mentioned it here before, I feel bad for asking.  Good for your parents in making their decision.

Kb - Like your lady bug pic this morning.

Phyl - I have not yet posted a pic of our Delorean as I just don't see the perfect/current pic to share, I will look again at our most current.

BL - You live adventurously!

Clynn - Treasured photos of you & your sisters in NYC - thank you for posting!   Sad to see a bit of history in your hometown taken down, as it seems that store was a busy/popular place back in the day. 

Tsk - You got a good amount of rain yesterday!  Understandable you didn't drive Tim's duffle bag over to him as he was far away!

Puff - That is a positive sign that you've been getting posts from Maui.  Like what you mention about Maui/Lahaina - you say it well.

Beakers have a nice day.

Thanks for the good morning Lisa  My dad had done the same thing as your parent did.  Not my mom, just dad.  When we get the facts we hopefully get to pick our own.  Threatened my niece with bodily injury and nightmares if she doesn't follow the directive.      :-*  Cremation and ashes scattered at 5 special states of the USA.

Last pic of Sydney was sweet and clear shot.

Yep, some yard werk to do today and some packing.  ::)  I took the car in this a.m. for service and they could not find my appt. They set me up for this afternoon and sent me home in an Escape. I remembered to grab the garage door opener and HC tag, just in case. But when I pulled into our garage I realized I had forgotten the house keys! Poor Camper had to get up and let me in. Aw.

I (we) have been working on our last wishes for years. Hopefully we can get to the funeral home this Fall and make a prepayment, etc.

Good Morning Beakers!
The old and very historic church in Lahaina has been rebuilt 3 times (?) and I have confidence that it will occur again!   Not unlike the cities, world wide that have been rebuilt following wars!  The charm and history will be honored.
high of 91 here today and no temps that high noted thru Thursday week!  Close but not there!
I seem to remember applying a mud mixture to bee stings!   Way back before the days of modern medicine.  Lani, are you sure you got all of the stinger out?  Sure hope you are feeling better soon!
Lisa, I had friends in Texas who donated their bodies to a medical school.  Ashes were returned and disposed of as directed.  They had a big interest in assisting with the education of medical students and medicine!  I think there are ways to harvest useable parts and still donate.  Not sure of this!   Now, isn't this Morbid!
On a happier note, those blue gym or pe outfits are as funny to view now as they were to have on!  Thanks for the reminder clynn!
On the whopping cranes, there is a colony north of  me.  There was a lone flamingo living south of me!   The hurricane brought in some friends for him!
I am not concerned about the two hurricanes coming here.  I have worked disaster relief many times in the past and therefore have an interest in storms!   
Everyone have a great day!

In preparation for the start of the new Toroa season for 2023/2024 the Dunedin City Council has produced a video about the tradition of the bell ringing for the arrival of the first toroa for the next season
Sep 11, 2023 #dunedinnz #dunnerstunner
We’re not sure why or when it started, but for the last few decades, when the northern royal albatross return to Pukekura/Taiaroa Head after a year at sea, it’s been a Dunedin NZ tradition to ring in the return of the wandering toroa for the breeding season. Find out more about the wildlife capital of NZ: www.dunedinnz.com/wildlife

We expect that the first Toroa will arrive in the next couple of weeks. We will notify everyone when that happens, in the meantime get your bells ready and Take 3 for the Sea https://take3.org

Puff, thanks for the good news coming out of Maui. And for expressing the history for its people, its traditions and aloha spirit so well.   :-*.  I know your niece will do as you requested. Our spirits will meet there on the beautiful shores of Hawaii.

Tsk, yes, my head is better today! I can easily brush my hair this morning. And no dull ache like a headache...  Thanks  ;D

Clynn, awesome pic and special memories of you and sisters trip, and of the NY skyline. I had a much better sleep last night. No pain this morning, just a little sore spot and I was able to brush my hair over the area today!  ;D .. the other two bites just itch. The bees are still going in and out of that hole. two cans of spray have been spent over it.... thank God we didn't have your P.E. outfits! We had a choice of black or red shorts and loose white v-neck top.... Sad to see a bit of your hometown buildings being taken down.  :( Salina's Ben Franklin was like your Dry Goods store. It's been gone for quite a few years now.

BL, Thank you for sharing your memories of that day. I can't imagine what you and Pip went through that day and the days that followed.

Lisa, Jeff has a very interesting job! Fantastic!  :) I'm like Puff, I have very specific plans, both girls know what's to be done. No scientific exploration on my person!  8) I think I wrote in an prior post, cremated half my ashes thrown at sunset over a bay off big isle and the other half will be buried in Mike's family plot in Salina, KS. All our pets ashes will be added to my ashes in a koa wood box and buried together....  ... a few of the Maple trees are starting to get their fall colors here in the northern part of AZ.

Kb, love the ladybugs!  ;D

Phyl, thanks for LS interesting info from Nasa.. yes your home altar and our Beak Prayer room keeps our Beak family, friends and God's many creatures in our hearts and prayers.

Looking forward to rain today!
Take care Everyone  ;D

baz - What an adorable pic of Punkin on her first day of Kindergarten!  Jeff's building is the same, very tight security.  They have an armed guard at the front entrance, and you have to go thru a metal detector every time you go in or out the building.  The badge is used to get inside the glass doors from the parking garage to take the elevator down to the first floor to where the guards are, so you can get into the building.  The badge also lets personnel know if you are in the building or not.  The badge is also used to open different doors on different floors of the building. 

Kb - Aww, Roselle!

Lisa, security where I worked was the same as what you described for Jeff. I wouldn't have been able to get on the elevator to ride up from the parking garage if I didn't have my badge. I would have to walk from the street level to the bldg's main front door entrance lobby to the front desk security guard (who was behind bulletproof glass), and then request the guard to call someone who was allowed sign me in - as a "visitor." Luckily, I didn't forget my electronic ID often! The few times I did, I would always take the first opportunity to drive home and get it, since I was lucky enough to live pretty close to where I worked back then. It was a real pain in the neck to try to get through the whole workday not being able to get in and out of the places I needed to go, without my ID. Lucky you were able to get it for him!

Clynn, LOL, yes, it will be fun to see if Bella and my LGN end up pursuing the careers and interests they have now!!  ;D :-* :-*

Karen, ditto!!  :)


No lunch here again today... LOL... because I got busy with household chores and then a few errands. So... I'm heading to the kitchen now to make an early supper... will sautee some shrimp to go on top of some fresh organic baby mixed greens I got this morning... with some pineapple and mango salsa, fresh brocolli, and chopped green onions - all on the big bed of fresh greens with the shrimp, and will sprinkle it all with EVOO and Balsamic vinegar, and put a big dollop of cocktail sauce in the center for dipping the shrimp. Glash of Pinot Grigio to go with.  ;) :D


Have a good evening, Beakers!  :)

LANI   Wish Manaaki would have waved his wing  LOL   I'm so happy to hear of all those trying to keep this planet going with all of its unusual species in specialized environments.  Looked up definition of Toroa  " Maori name for Royal Albatross"   So glad your head is better.   The town I live in had a Ben Franklin when we first moved here but long gone now.

BAZI   Can't imagine what that high security must have been like.  But you were used to it.  If I lived alone I don't know if I would cook a healthy as you do.  I would hope to though. :-*

KB  What an amazing photo of the dragonflies  They look like birds.

I fell today walking home with a friend from Bible study and we were engaged in good conversation and of course I wasn't paying attention.  So glad I was declared healed in my back and that this didn't happen any sooner.  Always the surprise of it is the scariest ( I never fall  LOL)  So my weaker left toe lift must have caught on a crack and down I went on my left side - half on concrete and half on grass.  More worried about my glasses as my left cheek hit the sidewalk  sigh.  Glasses were fine ( Phew) but half off my face.  My friend was so worried.  But I got up and we walked the rest of the way home - What I didn't realize is my palms were scraped and blood was dripping down the cover of my Bible study book  LOLOL  If it was the crucified Christ on the front it would have been something else  :o.  Washed up, put the Bandaids/peroxide on where needed and took 2 Aleve cuz I'm sure tomorrow I will feel it.

Oh tsk!  So sorry and hope you did not crack a bone in your face or elsewhere!  I have only fallen the one time!  Knock on wood.  Actually I do not walk enough to fall, most days.  When I fell, I was standing still and just sat down on the concrete floor in the garage!  Pretty sure I had a sudden drop in Blood pressure.
I was thinking about the crucifixion when you mentioned blood dripping as you walked along!  Lolol, but not really funny!  I am so sorry!  Keep the aleve handy!

Puff - Happy you are receiving correspondence and I know you will see to the best in everything.

LisaG - No TMI!  You are so kind.

Tig - We too have taken steps in taking care of our last wishes, but we still have lots more to do!  No one likes to do this (planning), but we are part way there.

Lani - Thank you for keeping us up with the Albatross'  :)  Like your post to Puff. :-*  Happy your bee stings are so much better now.

Tsk - We stayed in Kaanapali in Maui back in 2007. :)   Oh no Tsk - so sorry for your tumble today. :(   You mention a 'Lol', but it is no laughing matter.  I truly hope you are going to be okay and that you just need time for healing.  Usually the worst soreness is felt the next day!  Please take care. {{Tsk}}

Bazi - Can you say what type of work you did where you were in security situations too like LisaG's Jeff?  You don't need to say where, as I know you are private.  If you don't want to say, that is completely fine!   Sounds like you will enjoy a delicious meal for dinner! :)

Kb - Wow!! ::)  All those Dragonflies are amazing!!!  Thanks for pic.

Oldguy - Hubby watched both links you provided the other day with regards for Deloreans and he said to say a big 'Thank you'!!!  He really enjoyed the link on the Jimmy Kimmel show!!!   He appreciated both links, but really laughed & enjoyed the JK show!!

Beakers have a good evening.

CLynn the photos of you and your sisters are much too small to see detail. Thanks for sharing. So sad about the  Stewarts store---there went a bit of local
                   history. And yes the first year of my 7th grade PE class we wore thosd same jump suits that snapped. And, the boys would run up and rip them open
                   just enough to see our bras. Our teacher put a stop to that really fast! In more ways than one too.

{{{Tsk}}} bubble wrap for you Kid-O!  Mercy, mercy!   Some spill---yep your hands and the rest of you are gonna be 'tender' in AM. If not sooner. Prayers for healing.
 That Teddy looks much like the one from Toy Story (2 or 3 ) only think 'he' was purple

Lisa my high school biology class took a field trip to a medical college in LA. The cadavers were all people who had donated themselves.  :-X
                 But then how else are 'they' gonna learn .    Coffee pot seen alot of fires.

E4E nah! We can wait 'till  Delorean is finished.

Oh no Tig! forgetting the house keys! Good thing Camper was home. I bet he didn't mind letting  you inside

Karen/Puff correspondance from Maui-tks for sharing

Lani tks for the Royal's update, videos and snaps.  We all love Maanaki  and the other RA chicks.
 Wow! I'm doing the same with Samantha's, Mitch, Mike and when time comes Maggie. Someone's gonna have to drive me to the Mojave Desert and park in Eagle Mtn. Ca on the deserted block  at house 1118 Cottonwood Drive  and throw me to the winds at sunset on a hot summer night.

(((TSK))), oh no! I'm so sorry about your fall. Yes, I agree with you, the shock and surprise of it is always such a big thing! Getting stunned. The hurting comes after, but not by much. I hope no cheekbone fracture. I know you must be terribly sore, and swollen and bruised in spots, too. Glad your glasses didn't break... or your wrist! I'm glad the meds help, and hope the soreness goes away quickly.  Hugs.  It sounds like you're a pretty healthy eater!  I started eating like that some years ago. I sort of got into the science of nutrition a bit, too. I have a couple of chronic autoimmune health kinds of things, and discovered I feel much better overall with that kind of diet, so it is self-motivating in that way. Thankfully, I've never been a picky eater, and I really like eating foods like that. The overall healthier aspect of it is important, too - maybe more so now that I'm older, I guess. I still take too many opportunities to get my junk food fix in. LOL ;D  But in general, I have moved to more nutritious eating habits with thoughtfully chosen whole foods, or very minimally processed foods, and very few packaged items. I just don't like calling it food anymore if the list of ingredients is several lines long, and almost all of it isn't food! I really do feel better when I eat better.

E4E, that was when I worked in Systems Development at the corporate headquarters of a large bank. Keeping other people's big and small business and personal financial doings safe requires top security and confidentiality. There is also a lot of theft (attempts) and subterfuge in high tech environments, so there was no such thing as going overboard in security procedures.

{{{Tsk}}} I'm so glad your glasses didn't break and you didn't break a wrist or anything else, hoping you are comfortable and praying you won't be too sore tomorrow, lots of healing prayers.  :-*

Tsk, Karen I'll miss Manaaki, he's a character and he's been fun to watch. His parents have been attentive and he's been given lots of food to set him up for his long trip across the seas to the western part of the South American coast to live for the next four or more years.

Good Morning Everyone...

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cd/5a/1d/cd5a1d1edbc2e56c8bc9dd7e8eba69c6.jpg)

Currently 65F   High  81F   partly sunny,  Low 57F  Humidity 94%.

This last Wednesday, 9-6-23,  Jim had his annual with all the usual blood work. On the 9th he got a
call from his doc's office saying there was an 'anomaly' in his blood test results. And, that
Doc want Jim back in his office for a 're-do'.   Jim did that right after work Monday afternoon.
We are waiting for results.
I know about blood an anomalies having one myself with the ITP. And, my Dad dying from two separate blood cancers---Multiple Myeloma and (Pre) Leukemia .
Back in the '80s treatment was very different  with  blood transfusions as a stand out. 
The blood cancers are my greatest concern. I saw how my dad suffered especially in the end with bone pain so intense that he couldn't stand being touched or even laying in bed medicated with morphine. And the emotional roller coaster/stress my mother hid from the world and him---hearing her sob as she prayed before bed every night.
At any rate Jim said doc's office will call---we'll hear tomorrow sometime. If they call during Jim's working hours, he'll call  them. But, as they know he can't  take calls at Publix. I'm sure we'll hear late afternoon.     :-\


(((TsK))) how are you feeling/doing this morning? Can you use your hands at all?

(((Lani))) I hope you're doing better everyday

Lani, oh we are going to miss Manaaki! He is definitely a character, we have all enjoyed watching him grow up! I had to look up Toroa, had not heard that term before! Love the video of the ringing of the bells for the return of the Toroa! Wow, you can really tell how huge the chicks are when they pick them up to weigh! I think the word would be swarm, for most groups of insects...  Sweet kitty...

baz, good for you and changing your eating habits for the good! I need to drink more water, are you a big water drinker? I think it has helped karen a lot! Lil' Punkin off to school, that looks like a nice place, doesn't look like most schools. I worked for a financial company too, the security was very high, of course. All of a sudden one year they went into beefing up the security, we had to lock everything up if we weren't actually sitting at our desk, no papers could be laying around! They had people to check desks regularly and big no-no if you failed! This was after we had to pass through two security doors to even get to our desk.

Phyl, interesting article on the James Webb telescope. The buildings in Morocco, wonder how many of those types of buildings there are in the 'old' world, just waiting to crumble. Eagle Mountain ghost town, a beautiful area.  Did your Dad work in the iron mine? Bogey, Beanie, Max, Emma and Honey so far will go with me when the time comes. Oh those boys in high school! Didn't we think the boys our age were so childish? Lovely sunrise on the Flyway! Praying for Jim's anomaly turns out to be something simple and easy to take care of. A favorite cousin died 4 years ago from Multiple Myeloma, he fought it for several years. It was very debilitating, he was only 54, so sad for him and for your Dad and your Mom.

tig, cute video of the little Alpaca getting a treat at the drive through! The staff looks like they all gathered to get a look at the cutie!

tsk, sorry to hear that you had a fall. Dang! You are probably very sore today, hope tomorrow is better...

E4E, I am working on my eBay stuff, taking pictures and listing. No fun anymore...  ::) ::)I hauled a load of stuff to Goodwill yesterday. I just keep chugging along... Miss the Munchkins, but I did have them most of the day Saturday, also Friday for Kelsey's birthday and Sunday they were here for a couple of hours while Erin cleaned my floors. Erin will make sure they are here at least every week I suspect! Have a wonderful time at the Fair!

tsk, maybe you fell just right and won't be too sore! When I was getting in the shower yesterday I slipped but caught myself! I had picked up the rubber mat and relocated it, it had slid down to the edge of the drain. I stepped on it before it suctioned itself to the tub! Another thing to watch! I am ready to get the conversion to a walk in.   ::) ::)

Lisa, look at this Halloween outfit!

Thanks Lani!....I was out on my walk with Ollie man. Just returned...I watched the same news during the press conference...

Eagles4 - my sis and her hubby have made it a goal to hit county fairs most weekends this summer in Minnesota!...they have a new granddaughter that I think they indulge in plus all the other stuff and food!..
Quite an accomplishment I thought. Enjoy!

It was 52 this morning a bit chilly and foggy after a midnight rain. Pulled out the sweatshirt and jeans for our morning walk today!
A great start to the beginning of an Indian Summer my favorite time of the year!  ;D

Good morning Beakers!

Read about the Royal Albatross-Toroa
https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/

Migration and foraging trips
Renowned ocean wanderers, royal albatross travel vast distances from their breeding grounds to feed – as much as 190,000 km a year. Royal albatross range throughout the Southern Ocean and are most commonly seen in New Zealand coastal waters during winter.

Birds have been banded on Campbell Island since the early 1940s. Returned bands show young birds and nonbreeders migrate to southern South American waters and back to New Zealand.

In other work, satellite transmitter packages developed by French, British and Australian researchers were used to track the birds’ flight paths. Signals were monitored by satellite and the information used to learn more about the birds while at sea. One bird travelled 13,000 kilometres during a two-week foraging trip.

The following map shows GPS tracks of three adult breeding birds during their foraging trips from Taiaroa Head. They were tracked between February and May 2012.

Kb, beautiful peacock. Enjoy your walk with Ollie.

Hi Lisa ;D

Eagles, you and Kris have a safe trip and fun day at the fair!!  ;D

{{{Tsk}}} glad to hear your golden, no push ups required  ;D .... just a bit of rest and TLC :-* ... Royal Albatross Rangers had a tracker on Tiaki two years ago and followed her around the Campbell Islands then to the coast of Chile.

{{{Phyl}}} prayers for Jim..

Clynn, Do you like ice tea? I didn't drink much water in my younger years. I improved to drinking over 12 cups of water a day, by diluting the ice tea and adding a lemon slice. Now I can drink a nice cup of hot water with lemon slice at night. So, I'm drinking water throughout the day.... sweet Sea Eagle pic.

KB  First for me seeing a peacock fly  :o   You are right - I obviously was not up to the pressure of the "3s"  ::) ::)  I must have missed the conversation on the Malinois and Cavalcante I just googled it  I see LANI posted the link

EAGLES  Enjoy the Fair - should be a lot of fun. ;D

CLYNN  Walk-ins can be slippery too - My conditioner makes it slippery so I dry the base before Tim would use it.

KAREN   Yes, using a topical cream - Everything is good. ;)

LANI   I remember seeing those charts of Tiaki in Chili.

tsk - I'm still not sure if the Canine was a German Shepherd or a Malinois....some conflate the two.
Either way, it was a canine...the person at the Press Conference didn't know which it was either.

I fear for these K9 dogs all the time.....some are killed for their service and I hate that....other times they provide an invaluable service..as in this case, the dog bit the escapees head and prevented him from using the stolen rifle he had on him.

In another conversation I hate that historic buildings are destroyed...I hate it...it's our world's history.
And, many times it's humans that change them...not nature.
Take Detroit for example...those beautiful building that still "live" after the '67 riots provide us with beauty and history..hopefully, they never are razed.
I fear Minneapolis which doesn't revere it's historic buildings will end in a different place. :(

Howdy Beakers!  :D

Yay, they caught the prison escapee, and without shots fired!

(((TSK))), glad to hear you're golden this morning... hope the soreness doesn't last long... so you can get back to doing push-ups!  ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

T40! LOL! A salt and battery!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Clynn, please explain the Subway "words of the prophet" funny... it went over my head!  ??? ;D  I was in the same business as you for much of my "Systems" career, as we have posted about before. I do drink plenty of water every day. That's usually what I drink around the house, and even in restaurants, with rare exception. And I sometimes have a glass of wine or a cocktail.  ;) In winter, I sometimes enjoy drinking hot tea, and I have coffee in the mornings daily. I used to make iced tea to keep in the fridge in summer, but since my fridge was on the blink this summer, I haven't had any. I don't really care to drink carbonated beverages anymore, except very rarely, usually as a mixer, and it's usually diet ginger ale, when I do.  ;)  Drinking mostly only water is just a habit I have gotten into, and I have no feeling of depriving myself. I used to put down a couple of Diet Cokes every day  when I worked - usually with a pack of peanut M&Ms or a Snickers bar out of the vending machine. LOLOL! That habit was easily dropped after I was no longer working, thankfully.  ;D  My LGN's kindergarten (same school as her pre-K last year) is a really neat place - a wonderful physical environment for learning, of indoor and outdoor space, full of nature, too, as you got a glimpse of in that picture. Nature is often incorporated into their lessons. I'm so glad she has been able to experience it. Unless something changes, she will head to public school starting with 1st grade, next year. I hope they live in a district with a good school to go to then.

Gotta run...

Take care, All.

CLynn tks for Sydney Sea eagle cam update photo; Dad retired after working there since 1953. The cancer was discovered when he was 6yrs from retirement.
                 When he told his boss how weak and tired it often made him, he was taken off mandatory overtime duty as it was all he could do to hold down his regular
                 hours. I never once saw him look sad or feel sorry for himself. He kept his sense of humor and smile, above all he was brave.
                 Few men I'll ever admire, Dad's at the top!
                                                       

Tsk so glad you're 'golden' and doing better. Didn't realize you wore glasses all the time. Sure don't want to damage those too expensive like everything else.

BL PA escapee nabbed and Aajob well done ---definitely agree that 'Yoda' gets a big ,thick juicy Porterhouse from the best steakhouse in PA!.  What a *sigh* of relief for all concerned.

I may try some of these, 7 water substitutes:  https://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/slideshow/9614/beverages-that-count-toward-your-daily-water-intake/1/

OK on the cartoons.  But now it's getting tricky - two jokes at a time.  Late in the day, too.

I've been thinking too of comments being posted about falling and bathroom preparedness.
A point I read recently, probably paid attention because I'm short.

When you place the bar that goes inside the shower area it should not be horizontal.  It should be at a slant.  This would allow for shorter people and/or for people are in the process of falling down.  Makes sense?

Good Evening Beakers

We got 3/4 to 1 inch of rain on Monday/Tuesday - mostly a moderate soaking rain.  Tuesday was unexpected - morning forecast was >10% chance - shortly after 3pm we had about .2 of rain with a narrow band going over us.  Sunny and cool today - high of 69 and dew point of 50.

Lee is starting to drop intensity but getting very wide - over 500 miles across and 400 mile wide of tropical storm winds.  So far it is still following the path forecast 5 days ago and still looks to make landfall in Canada, but if the width of winds stays large, it will still have some major effects on the upper New England states.

Lani - Glad you were able to provide Clynn with the link telling how the Canine was used to help bring the escaped prisoner down.  I watched the early morning news and they told about how the dog took him down by biting him!
Love the bunny rabbit wrapped in a blanket - too cute! ;D

Kb - What fun your sister & hubby have in going to all the different county fairs and fun for their Granddaughter too!!! ;D  The Fairs have so much food!!

Tsk - We did enjoy the Fair very much - weather was good 68 deg.   Lots of animals, flowers, livestock, arts & crafts.  We watched 2 different magic shows - they were good.  We brought home a cinnamon roll for each of us to eat tonight watching tv!

Tig - You had a productive day! :)  My guess is that you & Camper are heading out early in the morning in celebration of a special day!! ;) ;D  Okay, just saw that you posted the new place you are going!!  You guys always choose the best places - enjoy and have lots of fun!!

BL - Thank you for providing the link!

It was demolished last year. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=video+bennett+college+ny&view=detail&mid=D9B05AD2F9AB5B5F1877D9B05AD2F9AB5B5F1877&FORM=VDQVAP&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dvideo%2Bbennett%2Bcollege%2Bny%26FORM%3DHDRSC4&rvsmid=62C96EFF1E505758485662C96EFF1E5057584856&ajaxhist=0

E4E, a good time at the fair! Yes! And a cinnamon roll for later! When I am at Mom's and we do our shopping day in Evansville, IN we always make a withdrawal at the Donut Bank! A Maple Pecan Roll for when we get home. Yum!

oldguy, love the Valentino video!  And Miri's birthday! Love those three cats!

tig, beautiful place you are headed to! Love the view of the High Falls in their ad. Which cabin are you staying in? Very close to Canada and Thunder Bay!

Phyl, actually pretty good news for Jim! Kelsey has to take SlowFE every day, has been for years. She was diagnosed as anemic when she was 12 or so. Great pics of Newman and Lisa!

52   Brrr heading to 71  sunny  DP  50  YAY

CLYNN  Thanks for the list on water substitutes.  Lots to choose from and do use many.  Lots of hot tea in the cold months and iced in the summer.  Hint water is my latest try and of course coffee.  Tim drinks a ton of diet pop but now found diet Snapple iced tea which he likes - Too sweet for me.  I also like making a pitcher of Crystal Light lemonade or iced tea.      Bennet college - what a shame, huh.  Probably took ages to build.  You would hope if torn down - those beautiful bricks/stones could be recycled.   I see it was demolished.  :(    Nice floral good morning today  :)

PHYL   Good news for JIm.  A correctable problem with a solution he would enjoy  LOL

TIG   Double use for the grab bar  ;) ;)   What a beautiful place - What cabin are you in?  Hope it lives up to the pictures.  How far do you have to go for meals?

OLDGUY  Loved Valentino the real-estate cat story  ;D  Maybe people will rescue cats after seeing that  ;) ;)    Miri is 3 already  :o

EAGLES  Tim and I used to go up to the Wisconsin state fair close to where I used to live.  Loved the raptor program sponsored by the Audubon society there.  It is a huge fair and I don't think he could walk it anymore.  We went every year as kids.  My Mom when she was young would sneak in a a kid  LOL

LANI   Think today is peak soreness day but am functional with lots to do today  LOL  Pop another Aleve ...

T40    " Who's a good boy"  LOLOL

HAVE A WONDERFUL GETAWAY CAMPER AND TIG

clynn - Googled, and yes, lots of giraffe costumes! 

Phyl - Good to know that Jim has a moderate case of anemia, and can easily be fixed.  Sounds like you have a good plan for him.  Make me a liverwurst sammy too, love those!  :D

Puff - I have seen some shower bars at a slant. 

tig - Enjoy your time away....yikes on maybe experiencing electronic withdrawals  ;D

Hi Puff  :)

Eagles, yes, Mike did have a good appt. But, then he would never tell me if he didn't. LOL! He did ask the doctor about the skin blood spots on his arm and couldn't believe he had these spots because he's not old....  then Dr checked his charts to see how old he was, and said, well, you're older than I thought.  ;D. Doctor told him not to take aspirins, which he can't take.

{{{Lori}}} love your morning posts.... prayers for you and your grandmother, hugs for Destini.

{{{Tsk}}} power through your day  :-*

Tig and Camper Have a lovely anniversary getaway at Cove Point!

Lori, T40, what a good boy  :)

Clynn, Yesterday's video gave the viewer a sense of flying with it. I couldn't help but want to fly through the windows, damaged walls and open doorways too.. sad its demolished.... yummy roll! ... Aly loves coconut water, Vita Coco Coconut Water... I love coconuts, but not the water. LOL! ... somedays we all need a pooh bear.

Just checking in: Happy Anniversary Tig and Camper!....look to be already Happy...

Been up since 4:30am...errand, mowed and watered front, and then hurt myself.

Didn't mean to and I did not fall!....just tying up my climbing roses in back to get ready for fencing in and held a position for a long time doing it.....when done, oof, the muscles between 2 or more ribs "caught"...you all know how that goes: hard to breath.
So I gingerly brought my stuff inside knowing I hadn't finished.....oh well.

Chris said he'll help me with dinner tonight and I'll lean on ice and then heat the rest of the day.

Interesting comments re water   Historically I drank about a pitcher of crystal light sweet tea a day! Or, I might drink a large bottle of diet coke!  Loved them both.  Lab tests showed I was dehydrated!  So, I drank a little water realizing tea is a diruretic and I was already on two of those !  Then I noticed some edema from my knees down!  Cardiologist office checked my records and calked back saying I was to drink 64 ounces of plain water a day! I have to weigh when I get up and call them if my eeight has gone uo by 5 pounds! So fr so good. Also watch sodium intake but probably not enough!  I did call and ask about flavored water and they said maybe a little lemon on occasion but nothing else.   Will see tgem in .december and ask about this again as I really do not like water!  Lol

KB  Know what you mean about that "catch" where you can't take a deep breath - Haven't had one in a long time.

TIG  I can imagine smelling that wonderful clean lake air as you watch that Mesabi Miner slo mo out of harbor.  Where does it hail from?

KAREN  You are a real trouper.  I guess if it was life saving I could do it  ;)

TSK, I love that song. Were you posting it for me for a particular reason? I don't understand - sorry... Okay... "Silence is golden" - I figured that part in relation to the song and your post saying you were "golden," but I'm too dumb to understand what you're trying to say... LOL... sorry... Please fill me in?

Lani, thanks for the link to the news article, I sent it to my friend...  ;D  I drink ice tea all day long, but I guess it doesn't count as water, maybe.  ;D I have found yes and no answers on that one! At least it's not soda! (Except with my adult beverage...) I may try some of these, 7 water substitutes:  https://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/slideshow/9614/beverages-that-count-toward-your-daily-water-intake/1/

tig, my shower mat does have suction cups, I just didn't press them down first.  :o Is there a special reason for a clear mat? Mine is blue...

baz, Puff from Simon & Garfunkel's song Sounds of Silence (a play on words...) Sorry, I thought for sure you were all Simon & Garfunkel fans!  https://www.bing.com/videos/search?pglt=41&q=lyrics+sounds+of+silence+simon+and+garfunkel&cvid=55fd140a34af4e73a8ac81f6ad6f4c87&aqs=edge.0.69i59j69i57j0l5j69i64.9859j0j1&PC=U531&ru=%2fsearch%3fpglt%3d41%26q%3dlyrics%2bsounds%2bof%2bsilence%2bsimon%2band%2bgarfunkel%26cvid%3d55fd140a34af4e73a8ac81f6ad6f4c87%26aqs%3dedge.0.69i59j69i57j0l5j69i64.9859j0j1%26FORM%3dANNTA1%26PC%3dU531&view=detail&mmscn=vwrc&mid=41F6E84DE604EE83978641F6E84DE604EE839786&FORM=WRVORC

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence..

Lisa, lots of baby giraffe Halloween costumes out there, just Google it!

kb, you can endlessly look at abandoned buildings on youtube, ones that should have been saved. This one particularly intrigued me: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=bennett+college+ny+youtube&docid=603492335904840423&mid=761D9E30611042959D6A761D9E30611042959D6A&view=detail&FORM=VIRE    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett_College_(New_York)    Very sad that it lays in ruins...

Aha! Clynn! Thank you!  ;D Of course I'm a Simon and Garfunkel fan!!! I played that album, and particularly that song, till I just about wore the grooves slam through! But I never, never, never EVER would've pulled that lyric out of my memory banks by looking at that cartoon. Thanks for splainin' it Lucy for me!  ;D ;D ;D  P.S. I've read that any liquid counts toward the total fluid intake... though some say it doesn't. The most recent article I read, by a for-real medical doctor, said that old saying of 8 glasses of water a day is hogwash. LOL. It said that's a healthy thing to drink, but the recommendation is for getting enough fluids... and it doesn't have to be water.   :) Just my two cents worth... LOL.  ;)

TSK, I guess you were trying to answer the question I had posed to Clynn, when you posted that song link. But I didn't put that together either, because yesterday you said you were "golden" - so I though that was what you were trying to relate the Silence Is Golden song to, and I didn't understand why.

Okay... I'm all good now!  ;D ;D ;D

Hi Puff  :)

Tig - Exciting to be seeing some BEs on your trip!  So happy you are having a beautiful time!!     I am ready for Fall and Fall colors  :)

Tsk - Glad your glasses are fixed and you can wear them in comfort. :)  Yum! My hubby would love a cream puff at a State Fair  ;D

Lori - You always do such special posts  - love what you did for Tig & Camper!  Hope you & Destini are doing well & fine. :)

Lani - I don't mean to laugh, but that is usually what a man does; not tell the negative news about a doctor visit!! ;)   Thank you for keeping us up with the Royal Albatross cam.

Karen - Funny about the Golden Girls episode!

Kb - Love the cute welcoming Pup!  Hope you feel a bit better soon - you are always busy taking care of your beautiful yard. {Kb}

Bazi - I like how you always show kindness here in the Beak  ;D

Baz...  ;D We needed to check in at the lodge but we are staying in a cabin. It took over half an hour (Camper stood on his sore foot for me) to wait in line to check in! And another half hour line to get seated in the restaurant! Needless to say I'm having an adult beverage.... or two!
Phyl... one of Camper's cards to me had very similar doggies to your wish. Aw.
We may watch some of the game here and then drive to the cabin.

Tig - thanks - very cool about Delaware.  Long way from home.  Thanks for explaining how the Lodge and cabins work.  Now I'm clear. ;) ;)  Too bad about all the waiting.

BAZI  Clynn covered it again in her post - Lyrics from Sound of Silence " words of the prophets...     Yes, Tim's skin is so thin and he is on so much blood thinner right now ( for a year after his recent new stent) any scrape or bump will cause bleeding   I'd be washing sheets every day.  I'm an expert at getting blood out of fabric  LOL  We have more bandages in our bathroom than Walgreens!!

KAREN   And following up on Bazi's two cents worth, I read as long as your pee is very, very light ( like lemon juice)  ;) ;)- you are not dehydrated. :-\ ??? ::)

My lab work showed signs of dehydration d improved after I began drinking ! (Water, lol)   The science of taking diuretics
And drinking all this water is above my medical degree!   Kidneys are ok and was told no congestive heart failure so, so far so good!  Swelling now almost comlrtrly gone and occurs late in the day!   This is all tmi, I know!  At my age I will keep drinking water!

Jim gets those 'blood spots' too. Itr's  from the AFib meds---blood thinners and old age (thinning skin) don't mix well---skin is so thin it literally tears apart.  :(

Tsk never thought of frying liverwurst---how do you do yours?  So glad it was just the nose pads.; So true on the pee color;

Tig you/Camper are so blessed with seeing the BEs. I'm pea green.  :)

Lori Peppermint Chocolate Cake  for Tig/Camper--it's sinful. LOL

Tsk, Mike is on blood thinners too. His skin has broken out too, it's hard for him to accept this change. Proud man.... sending prayers you'll feel less sore tomorrow.  :)

Eagles, Mike's stubborn that way. He's leaving for Ohio on Sunday. He'll return next Thursday. I think Manaaki may fledge in the next day or so. I'll miss him.  :(

Lisa, I hope Bandit's appt went well...

Oldguy, my DIY wasp catcher caught a dozen. The Rescue traps came yesterday. I set it out before sunrise while the bees were quiet and I had over 30 maybe in 12 hours, and they're still swarming around it. I watched a couple of videos, so I'm going to put another DIY trap out tomorrow too. I think it's a pretty big nest in the siding.

Good night from Manaaki and UQ chick
It's Friday the 15th and 4:38 pm in New Zealand. I'm afraid he'll be gone by the time it's morning here in AZ.

BL, getting cooler is it? Some good Robert Plant and Alison Krauss listening! I am thinking Todd was a good friend...

Lani, oh no, two failed fledge attempts. So glad to hear that they got Manaaki and friend back to the launch pad! I just checked the Royal Cam, it's dark (17 hours ahead of CST) but I think maybe I see a head where Manaaki always sleeps/sits... So Mike is back to Ohio on Sunday. I hope you are rid of those wasps soon! Sounds like you are making progress! I remember my Great Great Aunt and Uncle had a bee's nest in the back corner of the eaves of their house. They always warned us kids not to go back there. They never did anything about it, just stayed away.

Lisa, hope just a routine visit to the vet for Bandit! 

tsk, thanks for the clarification, I am not in the least dehydrated! I am very light, so I will continue with my tea (and maybe try to get in a glass or two of water each day!)  My Mom gets those spots, she is on blood thinner too. And almost 89!

Girl's Trip coming up! Cathy (sis) is the one in Texas whose DH fell and broke his hip on their first day of vacation last month. Her daughter (my niece) wanted all of us to come for Cathy's birthday, Oct 21st. Becky and Jennifer (sis in Oregon) have this all planned, see if you can follow: B&J are driving to Mom's sometime near the end of September, they will stay a week or so at Mom's, then drive back to Oregon with Mom. They will stay a week of so there, then all 3 fly to Dallas on 10/18. I will also fly on the 18th, I am the surprise! Cat already knows the others are coming... Celia wants to do this for her Mom, she has been kind of down since their failed vacation and her husband's fall. Celia said she feels like a nurse maid... so we are going to cheer her up. We will all head back to our homes on 10/24 so it will be a good visit.

Phyl, 80 for today, 57 right now. Another beautiful day! Elaine is very happy! Is that a bug on the lens or something worse? Another pretty sunrise! Such a good spot for the cam!

LANI  Yes today is a much better day for the muscle aches altho I may still have to go back for glasses adjustment as I still keep pushing them up on my nose  LOL    Happy to hear your wasp catchers are working!!

A bobcat and coyote drink out of the same watering holes in AZ peacefully....until the Javelina come in at the very end.

Morning all.....got a little rain in this morning...thankfully....maybe more at the end of the week..the last weeks of September "could" be rainier than the last 5 months combined....severe drought.

Good Morning Beakers

Beakers who asked about Bandit, it was just a regular vet visit for him to get his rabies shot.  They did notice that he had lost 1lb since last year, and said that was a lil concerning, so they did some blood work on him.  They said, if all the blood work was back today they will call, but if not, they will call on Monday or Tuesday by the latest. 

tsk and kb - How are you all feeling, still sore?

clynn - Love the Wild Heart Ranch pics

Lani - How is the bee sting on your head?  Is it still hurting?

Phyl - I saw that creepy crawler this morning before sunrise.  We are already decorated for Halloween at my house and not by us!  I have walked into this thing 5 times!  :o

I picked up Maggie yesterday and that gal weighs less than a pound!  Eats like a pig. I don't want my thoughts to go there. She looks great and has energy. Her eyes are cloudy and vision seems less than what it once was.


CLynn awwwww Wild Heart Ranch, esp. the bunnies; I thought 'Elaine'  perfectly expressed the way I feel today , which is rare. I'm usually just an even keel
                   sort of person.  My happy is by Pharrell Williams, "I'm Happy". No other song will give me that 'happy high'.  ;)

{{{Tsk}}}   feeling  better today? secret is liver sausage and just warm to spreadable--asked kinda for me.
                              I never eat liver when the bite hits the mouth ...
                  As a kid I use to fed my bites to the cat waiting under the dining room table, folks got wise. And then I'd pack it in my cheeks and excuse myself
                   for a bathroom visit, flush it. For a long time 'they all' (Larry/Dan too) thought I just wanted to get of to doing the dinner dishes. LOL But, got wise to
                    that. Then  when I came from  Jr. High ond afternoon there was this humongous bottle of dessicated liver pills and a glass of ice water on the kitchen
                    table. Blah! I  soon figured out a   way around that too!  ;)

{{{KB}}} hopefully doing better today;  tks for coyote/wolf comparison; enjoyed the coyote/bobcat video poor cat looks starved it needs to eat the javelina!

{{{Lani}}} hopefully that wasp sting is healing right up

Lisa on the MRF cam that was an insect of some species. Judging by the silhouette on lens,  I've seem then here.  Your Halloween decor outside ---just keep
                tearing the   web down. On the other hand Missy Spider might be eating other insects :-\   Sending good wishes for Mr. Bandit and his blood test.

Good Morning Beakers!  78 now going to 84!  Very humid and cloudy with rain expected about 3 pm! No 90s in the forecast!
Clynn, great trip!  Your mother will be he happiest one, I am thinking!  Do you all stay at your sisters or in a motel!  Cannot imagine so many women in the bathroom in the am! Lol.
Lisa, hoping Bandit lost weight due to his anxiety of the kittens in his house and getting used to Misty!   Stress, on the other Hand makes me want to eat!
Phyl and Lani, Jim and Mike are to be congratulated for continuing to work!  Not easy desk jobs!
Clynn, your mother is amazing! You have good genes!

I too bruise very easily!   Blood thinner.

KB  Liked the piece on coyotes and wolves.  We do have coyotes and foxes here - not a lot but you see them every now and then.  Guess we know who's boss at the watering hole  ;)

LISA  Let's hope it was a "stress" loss of weight for Bandit...Rough few months he had to go through.  Today is a much better shoulder day for me.  The 48 hours are over  LOL.    Great shot of that spider and web tho.  I just finished putting up ghosts and turkeys+ at my house  ;D

PHYL   Sweet Maggie  :-*.  Actually I eat liver sausage about twice a year.  I don't eat all the processed/deli lunch meat - that's Tim's choice.  Will eat fresh off the bone ham or turkey.  You were very clever with the foods you didn't like as a child.  ;D

Leaving in a few minutes to go 1 hour out to Geneva Ill to celebrate friend Pam's - in my girl group- surprise 78th b-day set up by her dtrs as it is her first b-day without her husband who died in March and they didn't want her to feel funky.  Luncheon at a fav restaurant of hers and then we walk a couple blocks to a wine tasting!!!  Barb is driving and she is a wine drinker so she tolerates it well.  I unfortunately do not any more, but will certainly enjoy the tasting. ;D     As an aside Pam returned on Wed from a river boat cruise from a city in Switzerland I think  - ending up in Paris.  Can't wait to hear.  Sent her a text  " on 0 to 10 scale how was the trip? - She answered " A 20!!"  ;D

Clouds - high of 70

Tig - Sorry it took so long to check in - must be a very busy place!  Hope you guys are settled in now. :)

Tsk - So, after Tim gets to the 1 year mark (following the surgery he had), they plan to ease up on the amount of blood thinners he is taking?  Poor Tim, it has to be so hard for him to be so careful.

Morning Puff  :)

Karen - We have 'Vitamin Water' - 0 sugar - Raspberry dark chocolate - 20 fl oz - 10 calories (bought from Costco).  My hubby thinks it is very good!   Actually my Mom bought it and did not care for it and brought it over here, and Kris loves it!

OG - Like your anniversary post for Tig & Camper - very nice!!

Lani - Liked the Maanaki & UQ chick vid.   Happy they were able to rescue the two chicks. :)     Great info for port to port tours!  That must be hard for you when Mike leaves out of town for several days, because you have to wonder if he is really doing alright, as he won't tell you any different! ;)  Some men are so stubborn and think they can handle anything themselves! :-\
Glad your DIY wasp catcher is working out for you - thank you to Oldguy too!

Phyl - Wishing Jim all the best and hope he continues to feel a bit better each day.  Thanks for links - love the ultimate 'happy' play list!!   Just read about your Maggie - as you mention, at least she is still eating!!  That's always so important; eating & going potty.  Happy that she keeps hangin' in there! :-*

BL - You & Pip should write a book of your trips!  Like the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss vid!

Clynn - Wow! That is a fun trip to look forward to and so carefully planned!! ;D    Your sis will be so surprised when she sees you!!  Your sis will have the best birthday!! ;D ;D      Like the Wild Heart Ranch pics  :)

Tsk - Glad your muscles are feeling better - just don't overdo, as you tend to stay busy!

Kb - Liked the coyote & bobcat vid!   Take care and glad you are going to try and rest a lil today  :)

LisaG - Hope all is good with the blood work for Bandit.  It doesn't seem like 1 lb is much, but I guess they want to play it safe, and you will have peace of mind too. :)
Yikes - that spider!! :o   Lol - you are decorated for Halloween already! ;D

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Bearstudy - September 8th, 12-year-old Daisy (Shadow, RC, Bow, Daisy) added to the stream of mothers by showing up with three cubs, two females and a male. That leaves one more possibility, 5-year-old Chloe who is due for cubs this year, to show up and set a record of 16 clan mothers in a single year. Last year was a good food year, making it likely Chloe would have cubs with her if she shows up somewhere.
The picture Lorie took of Daisy is an excellent ID picture even if the ears are cut off. She was focusing on Daisy’s blaze and the line of white under her chin that we know her by. Nice.
No shots heard yet! Thankful.

Daisy 12 years, her mom is Bow born 2006, mother is Shadow
(https://www.bearstudy.org/templates/yootheme/cache/c8/20230908_Daisy-c8fa2b10.webp)

No Shots Yet, Bentley and a Porcupine - UPDATE September 11, 2023

With no shots heard yet, our attention was on Bow’s one-year-old son Bentley who came in with a porcupine quill stuck over a half inch into the end of his nose. We hardly ever see a porcupine. I don’t know how he found one. We fed him while Mike Johnson used a pair of pliers to pull the quill out of his fast-moving nose pad, which he did as you can see. The quill was about 1 and 3/8ths inch long—not as big as it looks in the picture. Good job.

Still no shots heard - Long Lost Jani is Back and a Splashing Good Time - UPDATE September 12, 2023

We have not seen, or possibly not recognized, 12-year-old Jani here since she was a cub with Braveheart in 2011. That’s when Lorie Kennedy took her first Bear Course and took the picture by which we identified Jani a couple days ago. We suspect she doesn’t live near here because of the probable lack of visits and her two cubs (female and unknown) are the smallest of all the cubs here at this time. In addition to matching her cub picture, she acts like her mother Braveheart who had a habit of cruising the area to run off other bears as her cubs fed peacefully alone. Jani is a cruiser, too.

This sighting makes a record 16 litters for clan bears this year, and we are still keeping our eyes peeled for Chloe and hoping to identify a mother that is so shy she is probably not a clan bear. The 16 mothers are now: RC (24), Donna (23), Summer (14), Jani (12), Daisy (12), Sadie (9), Lucy (7), Luna (7), Sallyann (5), JM (5), Olive (4), Kaiya (4), Arly (4), Libby (4), Andrea (3), and Ivy (3).

We changed the name of RC’s cub Rocky to River. Rocky was too much like Rockie to keep.

At the Bear Center, "Pooch Pal" caught Tasha doing what she likes to do—have a good time splashing. It is heart-warming to see her safe and so carefree in this 3 ½ minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Q2iJw_G7U.

Still no shots heard here.

Thank you for all you do,
Lynn Rogers, Biologist, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center

Jani with cub Jani is 12 years old, (Mother was Braveheart killed (2019) at age 18 she had 3 cubs at the time. It's illegal to shoot bears with cubs.)

I was in Chicago we went to Geneva!  Went to Little Travelers had a light lunch and shopped.  Nice town but it has grown a lot since I lived there.
  Roosevelt Road is now a night mare!  We were all shocked!  Nothing stays the same.

TGIF Beakers!
Morning 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 Puff, Tig  :)

Eagles, Mike calls two times every night he's gone on a trip. First call is after work and he is resting before he leaves for dinner, and then he calls me to say good night. I think he gets extra exhausted on his Ohio trips. He'll be leaving the week of the 25th for Louisiana. Have a good day!  :)

Karen Mike will be 80 in November and he plans on working two more years. Every mid year he tells me "two more years" LOL! Mike bruises easily as well.

Lisa, No problem with any of the bite spots. All is well.... Lots more wasps on trap this morning! I pray Bandit's blood work will come back negative for anything serious.... maybe, he's been stressed out by new addition to family, and then all the babies... things like that can upset a bachelor's way of life.  ;D ... hate spiders that create webs overnight. You can't see the web in the daylight, and walk right into them.

{{{Kb}}} No one would ever want to be near a Javalena. They like to lay in their drinking water too, especially when it's hot. That's why I see this home owner has many water bowls available for wildlife. We did the same when we lived in Scottsdale. One large tub filled with 2 feet of water behind our property for the large critters, mule deer, coyotes, big javalenas, and 2 large heavy duty platters with a water drip (outside our kitchen fence) for small critters, quails, rabbits, baby javelenas, probaby a snake or two  :o... Rest easy and take care.

{{{Tsk}}} The Royal Albatross program does an excellent job of keeping track of all their charges year in and out!... happy to hear each day you are more comfortable, yep, you better get the glasses adjusted. When I had my fall with Sadie a couple of springs ago. My glasses needed to be adjusted three times or more... have a fantastic time with the girls! What a special birthday for Pam. What awesome trips she had!

Clynn, it wasn't Manaaki and friend UQ chick the rangers picked up... they both were on their home base practicing for their big moment.... I just checked on him, I can see his baby fuzz waving about. It's 4:37am Saturday the 16th and still dark. :-* ... I wonder how big the hive was when they finally decided to get rid of it.... What a special birthday for your sister, a reunion of some sorts with all the girls gathering. You're mom will be the happiest!!!  ;D I wonder if Cathy's husband will be prepared! LOL!   Sweet WHR babies and Keebler.  ;D

Phyl, beautiful morning on the Flyaway! The ultimate drinks mixed! Great song list! I'll add to Clynn's, my fabs are "Oh Happy Day" "I can see Clearly now" "Dancing Queen" "Ain't no Mountain High Enough", I could go on and on. Love them All!..

I called the county today to see if they haf a schedule for tree pickup as the pile next door is now falling in the street!  You  can hardly see traffic coming down the street  when leaving my drive way the pile is so large!  They are coming to look at it and I suspect there maybe an early pickup. He said it will be at least 35 days to get it all. I apologized for calling as I know they are busy and he said, no, you are fine!
My friend the vet came over yesterday and put a bird feeder on my window!  The birds have not found it but a squirrel was in the feeder when I got home from shopping!
A whooping Crane flew over the house today!

EAGLES  Yes - after 1 year I think he goes down to his usual 2 thinners.  He's been through this so many times.  He's had 6 stents and a double by-pass..We know the drill.   :(     I've seen that Vitamin water on the shelves but have never tried it.  Now I will try one or two flavors.
Have a wonderful early b-day night with the Beatles cover group... ;D   " I wanna hold your hand..."  ;D

LANI  So glad no shots heard yet.  Sweet pic of Daisy  ;D     Tasha having a great time in the pond - All those clan mothers - Data is mind boggling.   YAY  the infamous Blues Brothers  ;D   Lots of travel for Mike.  Traveling like that is exhausting no matter how you look at it.  Yes Pam was really surprised and told wonderful tales of her trip.  Zurich up the Rhine through many stops in Germany and finally to Paris.  The tour guide was the BEST EVER.

KAREN   That is exactly where we were -= Little Travelers - Had we known about all the shopping ( 26 rooms) we would have gone a couple hours ahead of time  :o :o ::) ::)    Parking is a real issue - tons of people!!     Good spot on the Whooping crane.  I don't think you want the squirrel population to find that feeder - How are they getting to it?  I would think they would pull it down?

TIG  Well that was an unusual experience - Hope the lock will work the next time.  Sleep well in all that fresh air. Hope you had a good day.

highs of about 80 yesterday and today - forecast to have some rain tomorrow but not good odds to amount to much.  Mid 70s for the weekend.

Oldguy, I've heard there is a problem with bees in our area. I'm sure it's a problem everywhere.... the bees are attracted to the DIY plastic bottle with sugar water/piece of chicken. Though there are at least 60+ on the Rescue trap... I watched a video on yellow jackets/wasp. I have yellow jackets. I've checked the dead ones and compared to other bees, these bees do not have the hair on them to pick up pollen... Yellow jackets/wasps/hornets are attracted to meat, the piece of cooked chicken seems to be working. I'll take a picture of the bottle tomorrow. I'll place a bottle with fresh sugar water/chicken early tomorrow and pick up the other one if the bees are sleeping. prayers they are sleeping. ...
SWFL named M15 new mate "Maybelline"? They should give M15 a new name how about "Revlon"  ;D ... awww {{{Harriet}}} ... Funny Simon! LOL! ... Maru  ;D

Good night!

Phyl, love Neil Pawstrong! Cat treats... :o I think I have talked to that skilled and helpful staff...  ::) We are at 56, headed for 77 today, love this weather!

kb, I have seen that same chart for Iowa and for the Midwest in general! I am hoping fall is here to stay! Nice new nest for Nancy and Beau, and YES on getting it online!

Lani, great that we are through 1/3 of bear hunting season and no shots have been heard close to NABC. Thanks for the Bear Study! 30 more days to go. Oh, your battle with the yellow jackets! I am cheering for your side! I can't believe they named M15's new woman Maybelline. Maybe they will just call her May?

oldguy, what a wonderful video with so many views of M15 in flight! And the video is smooth, tracking him in the air! Great job Real Saunders Photography! And he even captured the first gift of food to the female! I think we are in for a lot of good videos between this guy and wskrsnwings!

What a great organization providing service dogs for our veterans....and they pay for food and medical care for the life of the dog..
Enter today 100 bucks to win a hand made chopper...it's pictured in above link.

Was an extremely foggy morning earlier...sun broke it up very quickly though.

Mowing shortly in the back...have no idea why I wait for the "neighbor's sake" when they scream for all hours of the night and day....oh well....guess I'm not built that way.

Shopping also afterwards.

Hope you all have a lovely Saturday...our weather will be good for a few days here..

Lots of bear and lots of food at the falls this morning.  The largess is so bountiful the bear are not even eating the whole catch.  Comes later in season they'lll wish that had something to nibble.

Ah, but wait a sec. . .maybe not.  Frame at the botton corner shows live, top  left says highlight.  It is kinda early to be so bright this light at the time CDT.  Think I got tricked.

karen - I sure will keep you all informed.  Bandit only eats like 1 or 2 teaspoons of his wet food several times a day, but he loves rotisserie chicken.  I do give him some tuna and salmon, as a treat.

E4E - Oh, how nice....I hope you enjoyed the show!

tsk - Surprise party fun?

Phyl - I am trying not to fret.   :)  Dinner sounded yummy!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

OLDGUY    I have a much greater appreciation of the dragonfly after that piece  WOW     So Harriet's replacement is Maybelline - M15 will have a good mate.    What an amazing wall for the cats  :o   Cats and the storm  ;D

LANI   Your project with the wasps is going great.  chicken  :o- You've done some good research.  I agree  M15?  Geesh!

KB   Funny chart of seasons  ;D   Wonderful service dog organization.  Lots of good people in this world

PHYL  Thanks for Robin's report.  She's one lucky observer.    Lunar module  LOL 

CLYNN   Well deserved Art Prize    Went to that one time years ago and met Naimo there - the most amazing art festival I've ever been to

Clynn, swfl has not named the new female!  Maybeline was the name used by the photographer until they did so!  Think it is kind of cool.  Like Lani, I first thought of Revlon for M  but then thought of Max or Marty!    NOt long until the season starts!

This bird feeder is not working for me!  These squirrels are going to wreck the window screen and house getting to it!  Sounds like someone breaking in!  Piper just stares!  Have to remove a trellis as I think that is what they are using!

I too have seen that seasonal chart for the Midwest.
Lisa. Will Bandit eat dry kibble?
So much for the feeder!  I just stepped out on the screen porch en route to thee great outdoors to move the trellis and saw the feeder on the ground!  These squirrels are still jumping on the window even though the feeder is gone!  I think they may have been jumping down off the roof!  Will not be putting it back up!

Lori, Love your Caturday posts!!! LOL!!  I don't know how to do videos. Can you create a video of Manaaki and UQuarry chick? Around 16:30pm last night they were trying to fly and succeeded for a bit. I thought Manaaki was gone and he just returned into cam view about 2:15am New Zealand time he returned from the right and now he's settled back on his nest 4:47am, Sunday. Whew! I'm so glad to see his head boobing around in the dark.  :-*  I think they both will fledge this weekend.  :-*

Karen, I agree Max or Marty would be a good name for M15, even a name like Mike or Jack. "Jack and Jill" I think there was an eagle's nest with a Jack and Jill.  ??? ... squirrels can ruin more fun things.

Lisa, Norman loves rotisserie chicken as does the bees.  ;D

Puff, Brooks cam is back Live! #602 is in Otis office right now. I miss Otis. But, he was seen a couple days ago down the lower river.

Clynn, the photographer named M15's new mate Maybelline. I think it's a silly name. Belle? Anyway, SWFL will probably name it and I Hope M15 finally gets a name. I attached my morning pic of the dead bees in my DIY trap. There is more on the Rescue trap. I set another DIY bait out this morning.... Keebler's tummy! LOL! ..awesome pics of Naimo's

My DIY Wasp trap, I set another one out this morning.

tsk, karen we have battled the squirrels at Mom's and we finally won! It was trial and error until we found the exact position that they couldn't reach! They were jumping up from the brick ledge first. There are two narrower windows, one on each side, that you can't see. They even tried getting up the wooden frame between the big and small windows. They tried jumping from the big bush on the left. We found the exact spot, because you have to keep in mind that you need to be able to reach it to refill. We put one of those dairy milk crates under the window, that is out step to use when refilling! I have never seen them coming from the edge of the roof like karen's did! And as you can see, there are a million trees, so there are plenty of squirrels!

Lori, love the naughty kitties...especially 'our work here is done'! I caught Harley getting ready to carry the paper towels off yesterday. He leaves them alone for weeks, so I don't hide them as well. Then woosh, he reminds me of what a Turdbutt he is! Honey never did those bad kitty things... she was the sweetest... Tuesday it will be a month since we said good bye to Honey. And here come the tears again...

Lisa, what a cute good morning cat! Is your Walmart on your side of the bridge? They have cute baby outfits there too!

Lani, I am with you, don't care for Maybelline. Belle would be a good one! M15 could be Beau! He has gone long enough without a real name! Oh my, look at all those yellow jackets in your trap.  Looks like it is working very well! Otis must have a favorite spot in several locations!

Just came in and I cant find the feeder.  The suction cups are on the window but they have moved the feeder to some secret place! I really do not have a good place for a window feeder.  They wrecked a bush climbing up and I think used the screens for traction!
I had hornets or wasps a few years ago and sprayed them with some nasty stuff! I think thesurvivors moved toLanis!  Sorry!

Tsk, I know that about tge pee. Read tge Mayo write up on water after they told me to do this!  I will continue the advice of the cardiologist at least until my appointment in December. My lab work showed signs of dehydration d improved after I began drinking ! (Water, lol)   The science of taking diuretics
And drinking all this water is above my medical degree!   Kidneys are ok and was told no congestive heart failure so, so far so good!  Swelling now almost comlrtrly gone and occurs late in the day!   This is all tmi, I know!  At my age I will keep drinking water!

Lots of good Caturday posts. Thanks for birdy nest updates. And the squirrel 'chat'.  I love looking at birds and talking to the
squirrels that come up  to much peanuts from Jim's feeder.

 Enjoyed the  links  and  photos  this afternoon.
 Gosh my little paws are getting a workout with this mouse 'thingy'.

This is what I plan doing this afternoon:(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/41/2b/32/412b320b51ebed5629818e52ac99351d.jpg)
Right after I finish the scrambled egg Phyllis left for me earlier.  ;)
Purrs...to all the kitties here.

I'm having empty nest syndrome  :'(

I think Manaaki and UQ have both left the area.
And Iris has left Hellgate for her winter migration too!  :'(

Iris last seen on her nest September 5th.

This is cool! This is Lupine on 9/12. Looks like he is perched in a tree a bit west of Iris's nest on the other side of Jacob's Island. (Where we see the dogs swim.) He is near the walking bridge we see on cam. Is he hanging with Iris somewhere?

Lani - I have one word for those yellow jackets: YUK!
I would have called in a pest control company.....we have at least 4 companies that take care of nests...I have used them once for a nest under our deck that was hard to get to.....

No, I still see down feathers on Manaaki's wings....don't leave yet!....

They seem to be quiet today.
And yes I will have our regular pest guy spray too.
He's coming in about a couple of weeks. But, in the meantime I want to get ahead of the problem.
So I can continue moving my potted plants in for the winter.

HAPPY CATURDAY!  :)

((CLYNN)) You all are going to have a great time on that birthday trip! It's incredible you found just the spot for your mom's window bird feeder that the squirrels can't get to. I imagine all the squirrels in her yard have since developed mental illness as a result.  8)

KAREN, LOL on the bird feeder going completely missing. Wonder which squirrel nest got the new "furniture."  ;D

LANI, yay for your sting on your head not bothering you anymore. You have become a yellow jacket and wasp removal specialist. You may as well hire yourself out to your neighbors! (((OTIS))) (((MANAAKI)))  (((IRIS)))   :-* :-* :-*

TSK, so glad "the girls" were able to do the special birthday lunch outing for your friend. The "firsts" are all awful.

LORI,  ;D ;D ;D :-*

TIG, couldn't get into your cabin and had to drive back!  :o Hope the place did something to help make up for your trouble and time!

LISA, I hope Bandit's 1 lb.weight loss is just a temporary anomoly, and not anything worrying. Do you watch to be sure he is the only cat eating the food out of his bowl? My Mtns Sis had a male cat who they discovered was backing out and allowing one of their other, newer, female, cats eat his food! She would eat all of her food, and then come over to his dish and push him, and he would back out, and then just watch while she ate all the food he still had on his plate!!  ::)  I was surprised because that female cat was so much smaller than the male cat and not an aggressive personality at all, but my Mtns Sis said that little female cat of theirs turned out to be the "Alpha" cat! LOL! They had to start feeding them separately, and watching to be sure the male's food didn't get taken by the other kitty.  ;) :D

PHYL, Zippo has cataracts, too, and doesn't see very well at all these days. Glad to hear Maggie is "getting along." Does she startle more easily than usual, since her vision change? I have to be careful how I approach Zippo, because the vision loss means she can startle very easily when somehting "suddenly" comes into her view.

E4E, that's going to be really fun tonight!

OLDGUY, may the cards be with you!

BL, sounds nice.

KAREN, I forgot to mention before... While I was watching Live coverage of Hurricane Lee on The Weather Channel last night, one of their meteorologists who was reporting live from Bar Harbor was interviewing people in the downtown area there. One middle-aged couple he interviewd were from Valdosta!! They were really cute, and joked about going from their Hurricane Idalia mess at their house in Valdosta, to a vacation in Maine, only to be in Bar Harbor in time for another hurricane!! LOL! They didn't say their names, but of course I wondered if you might know them. I imagine "social media" is all abuzz in your area with people who know that couple and saw them interviewed live on a national TV broadcast last night. LOL!


Have a good evening, Beakers. Peace.

Tsk - I see how you & Tim work as a good team in seeing him thru the blood thinners he must take for a year - it will be nice when the amount of thinners he needs will be cut back.  I sure wish him all the best.
We enjoyed the 'Beatles' tribute last night, but they did not sing 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'!

Tig - How is the weather over where you guys are staying?  No matter tho, I'm sure you are enjoying! ;D

Phyl - I'm sure I would love Maggie and would absolutely love to pet her!!  Glad you found a new DVD player and will receive it today!
Love the 'Caturday' pic!

Puff - Good point with mentioning bee stings & pets.

OG - Love the SWFL vid of nestorations. ;D  Thanks for all links / good info!

Lani - During 'Beatles' tribute last night, they did all the songs from the 'Rubber Soul' album and few extra songs, then they took a 15 minute break, then came back wearing Sgt Pepper outfits and sang some of those songs.  It was a fun evening. :)

Kb - "MN has 12 seasons" - don't whether to Lol or not! ;D   Beautiful colored Crab!

Clynn - Cute caturday gifs!   Thank you for posting for Naimoj @ the Gerald R Ford museum.

LisaG - Bandit is well taken care of - if anyone can get him to put that weight back on, I think you will make it happen! :)  Please keep us posted.

Lori - Great comics & graphics!! ;D

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Afternoon tsk

karen - Bandit does eat a lil bit of dry kibble.  Oh, yikes on your feeder and the squirrels. 

Lori - Great Caturday stuff!

Lani - Wow, on the DIY wasp trap!  LOL, the bees and rotisserie. The eyes on your Caturday kitty, gorgeous!

{{clynn}} - Super Walmart is on this side of the bridge, thank god, but it is 30 miles away!   ::)
The kitten is precious in the last pic. 

kb - Beautiful fall colors  :D

T40 - Thanks for the videos.

E4E - Thanks for saying that.  :D  Reading your comment to Lani, sounds like a great show last night. 

baz - I do feel Bandit and Misty in different places of the kitchen.  Bandit always gets his food down first, but he will not start eating, till I put Misty's down and he sees that she is eating hers.

Phyl - Love the pics of Maggie. 

I do not have kitty pics today, but I do have one of smiling Sydney  :D

Hi Beakers -
Some of you have asked to see a picture of our Delorean.  This is the most up to date we have, it was taken last Sunday, Sep. 10 at a car show in Salinas, CA.

PHYL   Awwww   Is that sweet Maggie? - just a slip of a thing.  Looks like a kitten.  Is your new DVD player a Blue Ray?

LANI   "Empty nest" is not just in the bird world but also in the human world  :-*   Somehow I don't remember the name Lupine?  Was that the latest suitor of Iris?

BAZI    LOLOL  " all the squirrels have developed mental illness as a result"  LOLOL

EAGLES  No kidding  No " I Wanna Hold Your Hand"?   :P   You had a great time nevertheless  ;D ;D   Kris's car is stunning.  Wow  what a shine.

LISA   Little Sydney is getting more beautiful every day.  LOVE that smile and those smiling eyes to match.  :-* :-*

Lisa. Sydney is a love!  Previous smile!
Think I found the feeder.   It didn't go far .  The squirrels do not have a mental problem but Piper does!    Poor dear keeps looking up at the window.  They have been back a few times since the feeder fell!  Sounds like someone knocking on the wall and window!
If Iris is gone, I wish her luck and hope next year will be the one where she accepts a new beau!
I do not think Maanaki is ready to leave yet.  Needs more practice flying and fishing!
(((Otis)))
Good job Lani on the trap!

Post by: clynndunn on September 16, 2023, 06:18:11 PM

Lisa, another wonderful picture of Sydney, she is the cutest little baby, love the hair. I am partial to brunette babies, both of my sisters are blonde, I was the brunette, they call me 'the dark one'. Bandit is in love with Misty! They sure make a good couple, I am so happy they are getting along so well! Our Walmart is 3 miles away, and another one next to Sams, about 7 miles away.  No bridges to cross... :o :o

karen, you have really have some aggressive squirrels! The chipmunks cause more damage here than the squirrels do! They dig holes and also eat out of the bird feeders, along with the squirrels. Then here comes the rabbit and at night the raccoon and opossum!

tsk, I agree, cats definitely have their very own personalities!

E4E, that is just wrong, not to play one of the Beatles first hits! Here is some interesting information I found:
"I Want to Hold Your Hand"was the group's first American number-one hit, entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 18 January 1964 at number 45 and starting the British Invasion of the American music industry. By 1 February it topped the Hot 100, and stayed there for seven weeks before being replaced by "She Loves You". It remained on the Billboard chart for 15 weeks. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" became the Beatles' best-selling single worldwide, selling more than 12 million copies. In 2018, Billboard magazine named it the 48th biggest hit of all time on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, it was the second-highest-selling single of the 1960s, behind "She Loves You".

baz, the squirrels at Mom's are the smaller gray ones, mine are the big fat red ones.  Maybe it works at Mom's because they are smaller! They are still pretty clever, they really tried to get the feeder down!

Lani, I checked the Hellgate FB, they also think Iris has left for southern parts!  I missed hearing about Lupine, is he the one that came back several times? Maybe they are traveling together...You really do have a head start on those yellow jackets!

Phyl, awww, Maggie is the sweetest looking kitty... Her coloring is a lot like Honey's. She looks good! How old is she, I can't remember! Let her know she did a very good job posting for you!

T40, great videos, my faves were the dog and the banana and the howling dogs, and all the cat noises! Thanks!

Howdy! I'm back... ;D
I told Maggie that y'all said she was a good poster. Now she thinks she can do this all the time.  ::)
I  said 'I'll cogitate on it."  :P LOL

{{{Clynn}}}   :-* :-*Honey.   Many thanks for the backstory on 'I wanna hold your hand'.  Luv all the kitty posts.  Maggie is 22 yrs or  nigh on 100 cat years.
                                                          She does look really well for heart/BP and Osteoarthritis.  It's catching up with her---not yet. ;)
TSK I bet LuLu is perfect just as she is.  :-*  Maggie will always look like a kitten she was 4 mos when I got her and not completely weaned so she never grew much beyond that. She's my girl. I can't love her enough. OH yeaH  The Panasonic Blu-Ray is all connected and seems to work just fine. Now what to watch?

Lisa Oooohhh! Miss Sydney looks like she wants to say 'Guess what I've been doing?" LOL  Cutie.

E4E thanks for Delorean snap. Looks like a sweet ride.

Karen I wasn't gonna comment---I've 'kept' gray squirrels for 20 yrs and not one ripped up the feeder. Or anything else.  Now I've had racoons come up and vandalise the "H' out of my deck, tear up the feeder  and up root every potted plant!!! Every grain of dirt was on that deck wit the plants. Because the jar was out and empty. I've seen mana 'coon stick her clawed 'hand' inside the empty jar and look me in the eye and make a fist inside the jar. I kid you not!
I swear I' wanted to shoot them  from Mama to infant.  >:( >:( >:(  So now we bring the feeder jar in as a nightly ritual. Hacks off
Jim to no end. But tough! I'm not waking up to another deck looking like that one! Nope!

Lani use to have wasps and hornets until the hummers/BBs  became regulars. Even those  nectar wasps. Had a hummer and wasp duel it out one afternoon. Talk about 'high drama'!  I was so enthralled with the life/death battle I couldn't tear myself away to get the iPhone.  They were positioned like Ying and Yang with Hummer higher and wasp had it's butt and stinger pointed up at the hummer. Up/down-back/forth. Hummer always poised with that sword-like beak  to strike . It went on for 3 minutes. Then strike ! the hummer did right at the base of the wasp's skull. The insect  was impaled on the hummer's beak. Hummer flew to the deck rail and wiped the wasp off  there. As pretty as ya please flew back the nectar feeder and feasted.   ;) ;)

T40 Maggie says to watch your links later. I will knowing all are good. Thanks

I never know which it is 'Baz' or 'Bazi" But. Yes. Maggie's vision is fading and so is her hearing. So being considerate with her so as not to startled is rule of the day.     Just like w/ your Zippo.  ;)
         

Pizza Supreme with green salad a brew or red wine.
Jim said I'd like liverwurst the way Tsk fixes it---mustard. I bet Maggie would liverwurst too. I'll check w/ Dr. Steele as she has tiny issue w/her kidneys
Now that I've written another 'book'...

Eagles, what a fun night for you both! Great music even though they didn't sing "I wanna hold your hand." In my mind's eye, I can see the Beatles perform on Ed Sullivan Show on their first visit to the US, and they sang that song and She loves you!! Memories!  ... What a gorgeous car! It's a treasure  ;D

Lisa, sweet Sydney, does she have dimples?  ;D. She looks like she does, and oh those gorgeous eyes! Precious girl  ;D :-* .... You have a great feeding routine Bandit. Norman and Milo like the tsps. of can food several times a day too. Fancy Feast with gravy... and they get dry with that. Norman with his chicken. Yes, I spoil my boys.

Tsk, Lupine the osprey N6 is from Montana.

Clynn, great cat pics.

Phyl, interesting story about hummer and wasp. I haven't seen that battle here. Thank goodness..... gentle hugs for Miss Maggie.

Good night UQ! You'll be joining Manaaki and friends in the skies soon.   :-*

Phyl, love the saying... Another beautiful day here, 57 now, high 76. Love this weather! Iam trying to imagine your deck after the raccoon invasion! Oh my, they can be destructive! Ed accuses them of roaming through his tomato plants. They used to come up on the deck, one year I swear a raccoon just sat in the middle of one of my prized coleus plants! Now they can't get on the deck! We don't see them very often, they roam the subdivision at night. Wow, I didn't remember that Maggie was that old! She is surely a testament to your good care! Yes, it's terrible the trash people toss into the ocean, along with the chemicals and all the other crap. And there's Bob!

Lani, oh Manaaki has fledged! Hopefully he will hang around the area for a little while! Such a beautiful area, I wouldn't want to leave it. But it's in the blood, out to the sea he must go!  He is still so downy, looks pure white from the front. I had to kind of chuckle at the picture of squid beaks! I would never have thought that a squid had a beak!

RAIN, RAIN RAIN - through the night and all day today!

PHYL   For sure you want to keep the raccoons away  :o   Boy to witness that hummer/wasp interaction was being in the right place at the right time.

LANI   Manaaki reminded me  of a plane on a runway gradually moving up into position for clearance from the tower for take-off.  ;D   How sad about the plastic found in the bolus.  :(

CLYNN   LOLOL  I wondered too about squid beaks - but you left no question as to their presence - Who knew?

Beakers....thank you all for the kind words on Sydney's pic.   :-*

E4E - Great pic of the DeLorean.  Does Kris get alot of Back to the Future comments and jokes about it when he brings it to the car shows?

tsk - You talked about her smile and smiling eyes.  Look at this face. She looks a lil too serious.  ;D
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/15/bb/59/15bb592db1cd4aa3ee15f9bb218f5a4e.jpg)

karen - I am happy to hear that your feeder didn't go far.  Poor Piper. 

clynn - I tell Bradley all the time, Sydney has your hairline.  I can see it especially in the front.
I wish we did not have any bridges to cross.  They are trying an experiment for the next 3 week for the summer traffic next year.  The summer traffic gets off the RT 50 to get What we call the back road RT 18 and that gets you around to the bridge.  That eventually backup Rt 18, and no locals can get around, even the EMS & fire dept.  They are closing off 3 exits from Rt 18, that allow you to get on Rt 50.  If you try to get on RT 18, you will have to back track and get back on Rt 50 where you tried to enter Rt 18.  I know....confusing and TMI!  ;D

Phyl - Pizza supreme, is that like one with everything?  Those are my favorite.  Pretty morning greeting.

Lani - Awww, Manaaki off on this big adventure. Wow, the things they found in his diet.   :-\
I think Sydney does have dimples.  My mama noticed them in another pic where she was smiling.  Thanks for saying I have a great feeding routine for Bandit.  I was thinking maybe I didn't . 

clynn - Love the flowerpot display with the tin cans.  Sydney kids are beautiful!  Cool barn. 

tsk - Oh no, that's alot of rain.  I hope it is light and not a heavy rain. 

Morning to all Beakers coming in....  :D

Love the barn, clynn!  Great piece of history!  I do not like squid by that or any other name but I am sure they are beneficial.

Aww, Manaaki.  Be careful out there atr make some new friends!  It is a rough world.

Lisa, Sydney looks like she is going to cry in a few seconds!  Do her pictures look like her daddy's baby pictures?  Not tmi on the traffic reroute butI cannot follow it!  Need a map to see 18!  Know  50 well.

Tsk, stay dry!   We have 81 going to 84 but very humid!

Thanks LORI   ;)

TIG  Hope your weather is cooperating  ;)

HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY EAGLES

Morning 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, enjoy your adventures  :)

Hi Karen, Puff  :)

Kb, beautiful morning pic. My favorite season, our maple tree is starting to turn.... oh I think the bees have relocated and moved the queen with them. Yesterday, I just saw two flying about the siding. Nothing in the DIY trap and lots of bees on the Rescue trap at sunset last night. I even threw rocks at the hole in the siding and nothing moved. I'll leave it open for our pest guy next month. Mike told me at dinner last night, he checked out the bee sight and he was proud of my DIY project. He didn't think it would work. I told him I learn a lot from our forum and of course Youtube. Thank you Oldguy!  ;D Mike doesn't like to work outside, so it's always been up to me.  Anyway, he has always travelled for his work through our 53 years and that's not going to change. And I do love being outside. :)

Hi Lori, yummy birthday cake and greetings for Eagles! prayers for you and your grandma.  :-*

Lisa. Sydney is not pleased with her parent at that moment. She's saying "read my eyes & lips, I'm mad at you!! Yes, you!!! Pay attention!" ;D ... It's really our furry pets that train us to understand and plan their feeding routine. Isn't it? LOL! I bet it's frustrating for them like Sydney if we don't catch on to what's going on. ;D

Tsk, Good way at looking at the young albatrosses fledging.  ;D This is Lady Hawk's youtube video of UQ hovering yesterday  ;D

Royal Albatross ~ UQ Chick's Beautiful Long Hovers! 💗😊💗 9.16.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKqlp6_Cv0g

Clynn, yes, the young Albatross will fly around their island, and learn to fend for themselves. They will need lots of food before they slowly take the winds and head out to sea.... squid beaks was a surprise to me too. I learn more about Royal Albatross every season.... beautiful Sea eaglets.... magnificent round brick barn a dear treasure. I pray it's standing another 100 years.

Phyl, love your morning saying. I'm watch UQuarry chick and letting him know lots of people are sitting there with him. Watching his little white head bobbing and the bright lights of his little island. {{{Miss Maggie}}}  :-*
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/royal-albatross/

Mike left after 5am this morning for Sky Harbor. He'll be in Avon Lake, Ohio around 7pm central time.
I've got lots to keep me busy while he's gone. Planter boxes with plants that have overgrown it and ready for planting in the ground. Weeding and trimming... Wooden window blinds need to be dusted and cleaned. Windows/outdoor lights that I can reach need to be cleaned for the winter. Lots to do to keep me out of trouble.  ;D

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/b8/04/e2/b804e2b6d12e6267b8770d15c86b2ee3.jpg)

Lori - Ooooo, that cake for E4E looks delish!  How are you and Ms Destini doing?

kb - Beautiful pic from Cass County, MN

karen - I have compared alot of Bradley's baby pics to Sydney's pic, and yep they look alot alike. Rt 18 run parallel to Rt 50.  It is the "side or back" road as we call it.  If you get off on an exit here, you are most likely going to get on Rt 18 at some point to make your way around to where you want to go....store, grocery, restaurant...etc.

tig - Enjoy your new adventures today.  :D

tsk - I thought that was the cutest serious face.  Our County wanted to close these exits last year, but was told they couldn't cause it was a state road.  Well, this past summer the county on the other side the bridge did it, and it worked out well for them.  So, I guess our County said, if they can do it why can't we try? 

Lani - OMG, those pancakes, yes, please!!!!  LOL, your comment on Sydney's thoughts.  Safe travels for Mike.

Lani, you are always busy it seems, and that is a good thing to be when Mike is out of town! I wish Ed would go out of town for a couple of months so I could clean his room and get rid of some stuff. He might get mad at me but he wouldn't ever divorce me...LOLOL! Who would keep him out of the gutter then...  Isn't it fascinating what you can learn on youtube! I want some of those pancakes!

Lori, yummy and beautiful cake for E4E!

Lisa, I think I need a visual to understand that traffic pattern...  :o :o Yes, that is a serious look on Sydney's face, and a picture looking for a caption! 'Can't you tell I'm hungry'? Or 'I'm concentrating on doing my business...' Those eyes are just too beautiful!  And what a beautiful cake for E4E!

tsk, good description of Manaaki's take off! I was thinking of the first time I jumped off the high dive at the pool, you just have to do it!

Lori - Great Caturday stuff!

Lani - Wow, on the DIY wasp trap!  LOL, the bees and rotisserie. The eyes on your Caturday kitty, gorgeous!

{{clynn}} - Super Walmart is on this side of the bridge, thank god, but it is 30 miles away!   ::)
The kitten is precious in the last pic. 

kb - Beautiful fall colors  :D

T40 - Thanks for the videos.

E4E - Thanks for saying that.  :D  Reading your comment to Lani, sounds like a great show last night. 

baz - I do feel Bandit and Misty in different places of the kitchen.  Bandit always gets his food down first, but he will not start eating, till I put Misty's down and he sees that she is eating hers.

Phyl - Love the pics of Maggie. 

I do not have kitty pics today, but I do have one of smiling Sydney  :D

Thank you everyone in the Beak for ALL the birthday wishes - each and every message is so very special and I appreciate then ALL!!!!  I don't say this as often as I should, but the Beak has all the most wonderful folks and I respect and appreciate each and everyone of you.  Thank you!! {{Beakers}} 

I left for a bit this morning, then got back and am doing a few chores and some watering, then we will leave at 1:00 to drive out of town (about 45 min.) for our Grandson's football game (which is obviously not a 'home' game)!   After that, hubby is taking me out to a wonderful restaurant for Mexican food in San Juan Bautista! :)

Phyl - Love those sweet pictures of your Maggie - she is a darling! :)

Clynn - Can't believe that in a couple of days will be a month since your beloved Honey passed.  Understandable for the tears {{{Clynn}}}   Loved all the Beatles info, and the status they held for their first hit!!  Very good info - thank you!!   That is an amazing barn-never seen one like it!!

Lani - Awe, I feel your sadness for the Maanaki/UQ and Iris empty nests syndrome. {{Lani}}  Thank you for Sharyn's update.  Safe travels for Mike - I think you said he was going to Ohio?

LisaG - Sydney is such a bright-eyed beautiful little darling!!  She always looks so happy  ;D   Yes, Kris gets lots of Back to the Future comments and a lot of children seem to like it - he actually lets children sit in it!

Tsk - Thank you - yes, Kris shined the Delorean really well before the show and he also took care to clean the windows (no hard water spots, etc). :)

Karen - I can imagine how Piper does not want those squirrels out there!

Kb - Love the autumn pic in MN  :)

Tig - You & Camper have a great day  8)

Lori - How is Destini - I see that LisaG also asked!

Bazi - Kris thanks you!

I need to get busy again before we head out, and I need to refill one of the hummer feeders!   Beakers have a nice Sunday afternoon!

I'm so happy for Manaaki's :-*  success at growing up so nice and healthily and having such a beautiful fledge, after all the great care and feedings given by Manaaki's parents, GLY and L (and oversight by the team there). But,  :'( :'( I'm sad to wave goodbye to Manaaki.  :-* :-* And hoping for safe oceanic travels and a plastic-free full tummy in the years ahead. Hugs and  :-* :-* :-* to the UQ chick, too, who will surely miss visiting and having neighborly chats with Manaaki.  :-* :-* Hats off to GLY and L, and hugs and  :-* :-* :-* to them, with wishes for their safe travels to the S.A. area after they return and discover their Manaaki has left on his own worldly adventures and travels on the seas.

Howdy Beakers! HAPPY DAY!!  :)


I've been "watching" the Chiefs' game, from the back of my head, while I read and write here.  ;)  4:41 left, Kansas just had a successful challenge, and lead 17-9, at JAX. Go Chiefs!  ;D

Later, Beakers... I need to watch the end of the game now!  :)

Have a nice evening, All!  :)

karen - Did your monarch every leave your porch?

clynn - I am trying to find you the visual on that traffic pattern.  At the moment, traffic is backed up for 17 miles to cross the bridge.  I am glad I do not have to go across today!
LOL, your comments for Sydney's pic!  Hmm, I think that chart is wrong about the phone.  I stand mine up against my water glass, so I can scroll thru Facebook and the Beak, while I am eating.   ;D ;D

baz - Thank you  :-* 

E4E - Aww, that is so nice that Kris lets the kids sit in the DeLorean!  Thanks for kind words on Sydney, and good luck to your grandson on his game.  Enjoy your birthday dinner!

Have a good night, everyone!

The Sydney snap---you said what I was thinking! LOL 

CLynn Ugh! Squid 'mouths/beaks'  ; colorful coffee can planters;  You have triumphed over the racoons w/ your screened in deck.   ;)
                    Look at those sea eagles!  :-* luv the snap; awesome
Tsk  what does your rain gauge say?  Are you 'floating' yet? LOL

Lisa Sydney's 'serious look' a little gal doesn't seem too happy  about 'something'. 
                  Why don't you/Jeff and the kitties move further into 'town'? Or closer to  B, K , S and B/L  BTW, luv today's Sydney snap
                 Yes. Just about everything on this pizza---used what I had on hand,after first hand rubbing olive oil on crust,  broccolli, wht. onion, sliced 'shroons, sliced blk.
                   olives, pepperoni/Italian  sausage, gr. bell pepper, mozzerella cheese, sliced Roma tomatoes , left over roasted garlic pasta sauce on first of course. Then when
                   5mins before  baking at 450F for 15-20 I drizzled  olive oil. Baking time varies so use your eye balls. LOL Sounds like a good route. Purdy BD cake 4 E4E
 
Lori E4E's birthday cake looks just like my 'marble cake' from Labor Day. I took two slices for us later.

KB pretty  Autumn trail

Tig what a lovely night sky you had Saturday

Lani relieved to know the bees have been spared  and relocated on their own.  Safe travels for Mike!
 I'd say those are silver dollar size pancakes with strawberries and honey. But...
                 I can't seem to find UQ chick in those videos  :(  Bet I missed something.

Karen so true w/vintage appliances;

Bazi I think  this more feminine. Enjoy the game---hope your team wins. I still have some pizza left.

{{{E4E}}} Awwww!    Sending good wishes for a winning game for your grandson.
                          Tell us allll about your birthday.

LANI  Boy, Look at that stack of pancakes  ;D  At least 3 meals for me  LOL   I'd say you have licked the bee problem.  You are a very capable and practical person. ;D  Mike knows how lucky he is to have you too  ;) ;)    The list is sometimes overwhelming owning a home.   I'm a week from taking in and putting away all the yard art and disposing of all the spent porch pots.  The 3 bird baths are the last to get cleaned and put away but that is usually later in the fall.  We have 80's coming at the end of the week - Back on with the shorts and put the jeans away  LOL
 Did Mike go with a colleague?

KAREN   The monarch probably flew out by now but just put your finger up to it and it will sit there while you escort to the door  ;) ;)   LOL on the phone placement at a formal table setting LOLOL

CLYNN   I found it easier to watch a YouTube vid than read my new car owner's manual  LOL   Thanks for posting Karen's funnies  ;D

EAGLES  Sounds like a wonderful day for a birthday  ;)

LISA    LOLOL  Your phone position at the table  ;D ;D ;D

PHYL   We had 2" in the gauge for about a 12 hour rain.  I was actually surprised.

Saw the new Hercule Poirot movie this afternoon- A Haunting in Venice - Pretty good altho with Agatha Christie - lots of characters to keep track of - Tim was a little lost...

Tsk, thanks for the info! This one was high up on the screen and passed the open door several times.  It was in there for a long time.  I used a catalog (small) to direct it out!   It tried to back track and finally saw the open door and flew very fast to a tree!  Thank heavens!   A butterfly whisper, I am not!

Lani - Did Mike already arrive at his destination?    The plastic & stuff that was found in Maanaki's nest is disgusting - wish everyone would pick up their plastic bags, garbage, etc   It is so bad when birds & animals swallow plastic. :o ::)

LisaG - I'm looking at Sydney's solemn little face - no matter her expression, she is the sweetest little cutie!!!

Clynn - We had a harvest gold refrigerator just like the one in the picture!!

Phyl - We enjoyed going to see our Grandson's football game, and then we got to the mexican food restaurant at 5, and had a wonderful dinner.  I have had a beautiful birthday!!

Puff - Sounds like you had some good rain!

Tsk - Yeah, don't put away your shorts & sandals yet! :)    We too, are expecting warmer temps next week.  We usually get some really warm weather at end of Sept and beginning of Oct.

I ran into your niece and her husband and we are meeting them for drinks. Small world. We sent a pic of the 4 of us to my brother... he couldn't believe it.

{{{Lisa}}} traffic across the bridge sounded terrible, glad you didn't have to cross it.  :)

Tsk, I'm trying to get ahead of cold nights with our potted plants. I put my shorts away too, I think it was too soon... Mike's alone on this trip, he did a lot of walking in the airport and picking up his rental car. He called when he was settled back in his room after a quick dinner. Love Hercule Poirot "A Haunting in Venice" is a good one. But, you're right about keeping track of the characters. That's what makes it a great "Who done it"  ;D I've seen all of them.

Eagles, Mike landed in Cleveland, Ohio, rented a car and drove to Avon Lake, he's settled in bed. He was exhausted.... sounds like you had a lovely day. Watching grandson's football game, Mexican food for dinner. A lovely day. Happy birthday again.  ;D

Tig, what a fun surprise for you and Camper! A bottle of the bubbly and time with your niece and hubby.  :)

Puff, sounds like you and Tsk had some rain.  :)

BL, you must have caught a great fish. Thanks for music.

Karen, glad Lee is gone, I hope the others stay away too.

SED Phyl  :)

Kb, I took lots of pics of UQ, I think watched her fledged. There's an albatross juvie that landed and is sitting in a different spot behind Manaaki's. I wish this cam had a chat roll. Lots of questions could be answered.

Good night! from a sleeping mama sloth.  ;D

Lani, that's why it's going to warm up again, you put your shorts away!  ;D I just looked at your forecast, it's a lot like ours, pretty nice, a great beginning for Fall!  Except we have 86 coming for tomorrow. One lone little hot day. I hope Mike had a good sleep after his traveling. Would he ask for a ride on the golf cart to get through the airport? Well, that is a funny way to sleep, talking about the Mama sloth! Is she resting on something or just hanging in midair, I can't tell!

E4E, we also had a Harvest Gold fridge, and later an Avocado Green one! They are probably still alive somewhere...

BL, thanks for the mature Crosby, Stills & Nash!  They are in my Top Ten, I could listen to their Greatest Hits album right now! Like Young with them too...  I think you enjoy getting turned around, just sayin'.  ;D

Puff, wow, you and tsk had a lot of rain, much needed I bet.

tsk, yes, youtube videos are much easier than reading a manual! youtube has saved a lot of paper! When I bought my camera there was no thick little manual, just a piece of paper with a link to the manual online.

Lisa, I can't imagine a 17-mile backup!  Not even with a pile-up of cars and trucks in an accident! LOLOL on your change to the phone setting at the table!

Phyl, your pizza, I have a picture of you in my head just pulling stuff out of the fridge and throwing it on the dough! It all comes out good, right?  ;D  Very interesting article on exercise, never have heard that before! And Pilates was actually a person!

baz, hope your team won!

Phyl - I have been saying for 25 years, that I would love to live on the other side of the bridge.  Jeff says, we aren't moving till he retires.   ::)  Mmm, that pizza sounds delish!  Colorful cuppa this morning.

tsk - Always have to keep that phone handy, never know what you might miss.  ;D  Wow, 2"inches of rain, that is alot.

BL - I am glad all these storms are staying out in the Atlantic. Thanks for the tunes.

Puff - Yikes, you too with alot of rain. 

karen - Margot and Nigel are the next storms, and that Margot did some crazy loops out there. Bandit is acting OK, still waiting on vet to return call.  I missed the call on Friday, but called Saturday and another vet was supposed to call back, never did.  I sent email yesterday asking for a call from someone or to have my vet call tomorrow on my cell, so I don't miss the call.

E4E - Thanks for kind words on Sydney.

tig - How nice on the gifted bottle of bubbly, and meeting up with your niece.  :D

Lani - Beach traffic is horrible here on the weekends, and doesn't end till mid-Oct.  It sounds just like your traffic. 

clynn - Great morning greetings today.  Finally found the pic I was looking for the traffic pattern that they are testing out.  The areas marked with the yellow & pics are the exits that are closing on weekends, so beach traffic cannot enter RT 18 road with orange arrows, which is what we call the back road to the bridge.  If they get on that road at any point, they will have to drive all the way to the overpass right before the bridge make a u-turn and back track on the orange line and get back on Rt 50 and sit in the traffic that they got out of.

Eagles, yep, shorts are back out, but I'll put on jeans for working outside today. The mosquitos are out. 

Tig, Heavenly birthday to your mom/dad. Enjoy your drive, happy photo taking  :)

Lisa, Your traffic is just like our 260 that goes in front of our gated community and traffic. You never went to go to town from noon to 6pm on a Sunday on 260W or come to Payson on a Friday 11am to 6pm. I hope you, Jeff and furry family have a great Monday.  ;D

Karen, Mike doesn't have time to see the nest. His morning starts at 5am and ends at 6pm. It's jam packed with meetings, working at the slurry plant and training people. {{{Piper}}} ;D

Clynn, It is really lovely weather here. I'm so glad we made it through another summer with our AC unit! It's at least 12 years old and so far no problems. In Scottsdale, we had constant repairs and replacements on our 3 AC units. Next spring we'll definitely get the unit checked out before the summer. I don't want to take chances for next summer, as it takes weeks to get repairs completed. That's what we've learned from other homeowners here. Mike would have to wait in line for a cart through the airport, and he likes to keep moving and get to his final destination... Keebler and Sea Eaglets  :-*

Phyl, Does your Bluebirds stay throughout fall? Pretty morning pic from the Flyaway.

Kb, Beautiful fall pic.... I've taken more pics of UQ than I did of Manaaki. LOL! I'm very anxious for UQ to succeed, he or she is trying so hard.... I'll post videos by Lady Hawk, she seems to be the only one keeping the Royal Albatross cam watchers updated. They've stopped their daily tweets.... Even though I've had the cam streaming in two rooms as I'm working, I loose sight of UQ. I didn't want Manaaki to fledge, and now all of UQ's young friends have fledged. I want UQ to follow them. His friends must be calling to him, because when a flock of them fly about, he calls and calls to them... His parents haven't shown up for 3 days or more. After 48 hours the rangers came by and gave him a feeding supplement yesterday.... Both of Manaaki's parents GLY dad/L mom have come by twice since Manaaki left to check and feed him. They now realize he's fledged. Yesterday Manaaki's dad took time to sit with UQ before he flew off.

UQ was lonely with everyone gone and hungry too. His parents haven't been seen for a few days. Manaaki's mom L comes to feed Manaaki, but he has fledged, she refuses to feed UQ.

Royal Albatross ~ Mum Lime Returns Two Times Looking For Manaaki 💗 UQ Comes Running Over 9.17.23 video by Lady Hawk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jyvqQBSAag&t=86s

Sep 16, 2023
Ranger Sharyn reported this morning that our sweet Prince Manaaki has fledged at 240 days old. UQ chick has been looking all day for his friends as one by one they have left and he is alone now on the track. First it was Miss Sassypants NTF - full of attitude and owning the hill. She was the first one to give UQ a clack & display! Then Miss Quarry chick - who was very close to UQ and spent most of her time sitting, talking and displaying to him! Now his albie bro Manaaki has left and joined his cohorts flying over the sea - leaving UQ all alone. ♥

Mama Lime arrives back to the nest and she does not know that Manaaki fledged. UQ chick sees a parent come in and rushes over wheeing & hoping for a meal. But Mama Lime is here for only Manaaki and she clacks at UQ. L goes to her nest and sniffs for Manaaki's scent. The nostrils of the albatross are highly sensitive and she is trying to determine if his scent is still fresh or not. Mama Lime waits for ten minutes for her sweet boy - she came back with perhaps another mother load of squid for him and wants to feed him but finally she flies off.

But L returns a half hour later and looks for Manaaki again. It is time to get those tissues out....she is really missing her baby. Mama Lime waits for him at the nest - she does not know where he is but her instincts told her to come back to the nest for him. She sniffs the nest again for Manaaki's scent. Bless her heart - a Mother's love knows no bounds, UQ is hopeful he can get a feeding too but realizes she is only here for Manaaki. (UQ chick had a good feeding this morning from the rangers)

Mama Lime will fly off in a beautiful departure over the sea. Maybe this time she will not look back, knowing her work has has been accomplished and it is time for her to fly back to South America to renew and rest. GLY does not know that Manaaki has fledged so he will probably return looking for him as well.

It is always a sad time to see a parent come in and not see their chick that they have been caring for 7.5 months suddenly not here! The parents will head across the Pacific Ocean to feed in the waters around South America now. GLY and L will live separate lives until they once again return to breed. They will not breed during the 2023/2024 season but with good fortune, they both will come back in October 2024 to breed again for the 2024/2025 season.

Farewell sweet Mama Lime - you have done an excellent job ♥ Godspeed and stay safe. Thank you for watching!

Royal Albatross ~ GLY dad Is BACK Looking & Waiting For Manaaki 💗 UQ Does More Amazing Hovering 9.18.23

Sep 17, 2023
UQ chick decides to do some wing exercises and hovering early this morning! He flaps his wings and then goes straight up in the air with his paddles hanging down lol wheeee! He is getting really good at these moves! He then spots a parent coming in and landing at Top Flat and he rushed over there wheeing hopeful for a feeding. It is our dear GLY who has come home after a long fishing trip at sea (nine days) to feed his Manaaki. But Manaaki had fledged and he missed out on both parents L and GLY coming in to give him one last feeding.

GLY clacks at UQ as he makes his way towards his nest to look and wait for Manaaki. GLY waited a long time in the grass hoping to see his big boy come paddling home wheeing like he has every single time. But there was silence at the empty nest...

GLY then goes towards UQ chick who begs a couple of times...GLY then turns around and goes back toward the nest - all the while looking for his chick before he departs. UQ chick will go up in some amazing hovering as he continues to practice his flying skills.

Now that both GLY and L (who came in two times yesterday) have seen that Manaaki is no longer here on the headland, they will head back to South America and take the next year off to renew their energy reserves, regain some weight and molt their feathers after having successfully raised their chick to fledging! His Royal Roundness will be a legacy for GLY and L and for all future generations to come! Good job  & Farewell GLY ♥ Thank you for watching!

Royal Albatross ~ Dedicated Super Dad GLY Returns A 2nd Time Looking For His Manaaki 💗💞💗 9.18.23
Sep 17, 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J1NQgMOCz8

Just like Mama Lime, GLY has also returned two times looking for Manaaki not knowing that their big boy has fledged. UQ chick is so hopeful the parent is for him but alas it is not. GLY comes to his nest and lies down in it and sniffs it for Manaaki's scent. The albatross have a very keen sense of smell and he is searching to see if Manaaki had been here recently. GLY is a very dedicated Dad - just like Mama Lime - they are both two outstanding parents.

I have to say this second visit did get to me seeing that they do everything in their power to make sure their chick is fed and cared for. It is sad to see the empty place where our Prince Manaaki spent 7.5 months lovingly tending to his nest! It is more than just instinctual - they are emotionally connected to their chick. They must see how empty the colony is by now and know that the time is drawing near for their own departure to South America. Thank you GLY for an outstanding year of devotion you have displayed to your mate and to your big boy Manaaki. Stay safe and godspeed GLY. Till we meet again...💗💞💗 Thank you for watching!

Royal Albatross ~ UQ Dual Hovers w/ Another Chick! Crashes A Feeding & Takes Short Cut Home 9.18.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJXzfoblZ6c&t=106s

Sep 18, 2023
UQ chick hears another chick wheeing and getting fed by a parent down the track to the right and of course, he has to paddle over there to crash the party. UQ is now taking Manaaki's place as the parent crasher! He then starts to walk back towards his nest but decides to take a short cut and flight express hovering home instead! So much more efficient and so fast!!

UQ will head to Top Flat and is seen hovering in sync with another chick! Very cool to watch the dual hover. I am not sure if that one chick fledged or just came down out of cam view. UQ makes his sneaky way back to his spot. Then it is back over to Top Flat again! Rangers check to see who is up there and Julia reports is was UQ. He is seen hovering again and then out of view. UQ shows back up in his spot again. Another exciting and fun day for UQ - I am glad he found a new friend to fly with! Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

The rangers give UQ a feeding late yesterday.

He/she tries

and tries

then settled for the night near Manaaki's nest and moved down hill to his own nest later that night.

Oh Lani.....so sad...and glad at the same time, sad to see the committed parents take turns to figure it out..

I feel bad for UQ....someone on a post from Lady Hawk said only one parent is feeding UQ?...don't know if that is true or not...I hope the Rangers feed UQ one more time before fledging....

Eek, I was out front watering my grass seed (over seeding and some rough spots along street and then my ligularia and a few perennials....I noticed my cat on my red box was leaning left and went over to explore with my hose an watered cat down.....out jumped 4 mice from inside the red box they had broken and that's why my cat was leaning...there is a piece of wood on top of the box and a tiny opening.
I am bringing cat inside early, hosed the inside of box out and filled it up and tipped it over.
I may never touch that box again!...i hate mice....it's outside but clearly a nest of some type inside it.
Am leaving it tipped on it's side for now and when I get up the courage I'll either throw it away or get brave enough to open it up and clean it out....I'm guessing the first one.

The mice are looking for a warm place to nest for the winter.

Lani, thank you so much for all the Royam Cam news today! I felt sad for GLY and L both looking for their big boy Manaaki, so sweet that they both came back twice to look for him! Hope UQ and his friend are able to join the other young fledgsters very soon! That piece was very well written, you can tell the writer loves the Albys! Bless those rangers that care for all of them!  And Otis, he is a master at catching the salmon, he doesn't even need the falls! He looked so skinny in that one pic, but he is fattening up. It won't be too long before it's nap time again!

kb, mice make me scream! Eeek!

Lani, our HVAC was 22 years old before we replaced it. And I am not sure it actually needed replacement then! An HVAC company offered a free inspection, then told us something was cracked inside of something or other and we needed to replace it. We weren't having trouble with it, only a couple of minor repairs in the past. We kind of felt hoodwinked, but c'est la vie...

baz, I love breakfast pizza for breakfast! But I don't think that's what you ate! Awww, Lil' Punkin with her 'paper dolls'! Bella has the one I see in the purple tray! She looks like she is having fun! And Lil' Bro has FOOD on his mind! What a cutie, love his curls!

Lani   No,no, no, tell Ken to do himself and the aide a favor.  There's space to check in any airlines' online (or you can call) to ask for a ride from the door to the gate and vicsa versa - or from the door of the plane to the luggage carousel/front door - for just a tip like what you give a server at a restaurant.  You probably have seen people with some roller wheelchair when you leave the plane.  They're waiting for someone who wants it easy.  There's no fussing or sweat or taking of breaks.  They take care of any carryon or pull it off the carousel.  I know PHX airlines have the service; I've used it there.  I've never since I have the an issue then last 3-4 years been with an airline that doesn't provide the service.  Never have found any airport/airline no matter how small that doesn't accommodate.

Worst romp I ever/never would have taken was a connection in Germany . . .Connection flight from 1 terminal to another is (I swear to God) 1 1/2 miles.   I asked. They had lots of stairs down, then to get up to the door they used a supply loading platform, safely strapped in wheelchair,  elevators up and down on both ends.  Oh yeah, and then there was an under-the-runways tunnel between the two terminals.  Without help I'd still be trekking along in Germany.  Oh yeah, and I just remembered Tony - he has a walking stick and better legs  (only because he had both hip and knee replacements).  He protested at start with his male ego at work that he didn't need the chair.  Yeah Sure!  Aide finally convinced him - he would never have made it.  Zip, zip, zip  One younger lady, both of us on a chair, both delivered to that second plane.

Try it, you'll like it.  I just remembered - have to add:  There is minimal line waiting.  Wheelchair people get us special consideration (potty stops, water fountain, TSA, elevators, seating in gate area, special loading, aisle seats).  Just flag your record.

But still.  Thanks to Lady Hawk for the videos/you sharing.This pair of BBs come and go---98% of the time I always miss seeing them to catch a snap. But if I do... ;)

The kids at a friend's beach house recently...

I had to zoom in on the pic of Baby Bro because of the obvious subject of his intent gaze!!  ;D ;D ;D

(as usual, click attached pic to turn it right-side-up)

Awwww {{{Lil Punkin }}}.
Look at that curly  red hair on Lil Bro
Cute photos.
Don't worry if the snaps are on the side as attachments. They 'right' themselves

kb - You need some kind of stone or big rock for kitty to sit on, that way no mice will get in.

tsk - Yes, alot less stressful on the other side. 

baz - LOL, Baby Bro with his gaze at the food.  Cute pic of Punkin and her cut-out dolls. 

clynn - I was afraid the pic would be even more confusing.  ;D  The Black Eagle looks like a pro flying. Aww, pit bull and kitty.

Puff - That is good to know for anyone that needs assistance. 

Phyl - Wish I could get Jeff to move.   ::)

Have a good night, everyone!

BAZI   Lil Bro - Just love that head of hair  ;D   Think his eyes may be bigger than his tummy  LOL  Punkin' is such a pretty little girl.

CLYNN  You would have had to update A/C sooner or later as "Freon" as we know it was no longer being made for the units.  Pit bull and cat - You think so??  LOL

PUFF   You should write a book! :o

PHYL  The movie is called the Haunting in Venice based on an Agatha Christie book " the Halloween party".  You might be able to google how she got the part, and it was a primary role as well.

LISA   Tell Jeff the Beak took a vote and it was unanimous for the move  LOLOL

Lisa - hmm that's not a bad idea....kitty is very heavy btw...more than 10 pounds...but has a hole under him to the top of his head...
I do have many boulders/rocks though and with the right fit?....I also have tons of wood....I could build him a bench of some sort, not a box...
I have a hardware store.

I was just out in the garage for the last two days trying to organize.
did 3 walls, no cabinets or high shelves yet, but also threw some wood and organized it better.
I also have wood in Scott's shop over the miter saw....filled with wood.
I know how to drill...also have a hardware store of screws!

Tig - Awe, missing your parents {{Tig}}

Lani - Otis catching & enjoying his fish!  Hope you are having good temps for all the yard work you are wanting to get done - and good that you are wearing jeans for the work!   Awe, GLY Dad was back looking for Maanaki.

Kb - Yikes - those mice!  I would do as you already are thinking; either throw it away or wash & completely clean it.  You will make the right decision. :)

LisaG - I agree with you; mice give me the heebee geebees!   If you don't mind my asking, is Jeff's reason for not wanting to move across the bridge is because his work is nearby where you currently live?  He obviously has his reasons for wanting to stay put until retirement. ;)

Tsk - You are a tough girl - you kicked the soreness!

Baz - Like the pics - so cute!

I have to cut this short - hope to be back later!

Phyl, what, me worry??  8)  I know they will, but not if they aren’t “clicked on.”  ;D  Some people never click on the photo if they use a touch screen device. Sometimes they just enlarge the attached pic using touch, instead of clicking on the attachment, and in that case, the pic does not right itself.

I'm a huge Agatha Christie fan since my early 20s. I've read them all and seen them all  in all the many versions and actors since the 1950s on both UK and US save for this latest one.  I loved the 'Hallowe'en Party' ...So twisted.

Great joosts by all today. Thanks to all,  lani, gteat reports, clynn, wonderful pictures of the black eagles, hard to remember them

Good Evening Beakers

We had some great weather over the weekend, today was a little warmer (79) but still clear and sunny.  The football game on Sat. was delayed for 40 min. as some thunderstorms passed just south of town, but we did not even get any sprinkles.  Forecast is for low to mid 80s for the rest of the week and chance of rain on several days. - We can hope...

Cards was better than average - 3 out 3 wins

Royal Albatross ~ Beautiful Closeups Of Sweet UQ ♥ The Last Of The Fab Four Chicks! 9.18.23 by Lady Hawk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNxbnxPxFRE
Sep 18, 2023
UQ chick is the last of the Fab Four chicks - NTF, Quarry and Manaaki have all fledged. UQ is the youngest of this group and is 10 days younger than Manaaki. Hopefully he will stay around for 240 days like Manaaki did before he takes that leap of faith and flies out over the ocean to meet his destiny. Enjoy some beautiful closeups of UQ as he settles in for the night in his comfy spot on the grass. Thank you for watching!

Continued from earlier!

I had to cut my post off earlier because hubby put my Mom's car up for sale a couple of days ago, and some nice folks arrived to look at it (we've had it parked in our driveway).  Anyway, all went really well, they had the cash and bought it!  My sis drove my mom over here to do the necessary paperwork.

Clynn - Love the pic of pit bull & kitty napping together. :)   Happy to know the Black Eagle Roodekrans juvie is doing well. :)

Kb - Good for you in organizing your garage - sounds like a big project as you probably have a lot of stuff out there - but it will be nice when you are done!

Tig - On no; the elevator  :(   I agree, no fun having to take that many stairs after a big dinner  ::)  Hope you get a good night's rest. :)

Oldguy - I love the VW bus!!!!  Thank you so much for the birthday post - I had to show hubby since we have a vw bus too! ;D 8)

Everyone have a good night  :)

Kb, Mike hates spiders too. I remember we were married a little more than a year. There was a large Hawaiian spider on our bedroom ceiling above our bed. He got weak kneed and ran out the door. It was up to me to get that spider or we weren't going to bed.  ;D ;D ;D..... After being down all day, the Albatross cam is finally back online and UQ is sitting on his nest as the sun sets in New Zealand.... a bench is a perfect idea, and you have Scott's tools and wood.  ;D .... old child's rocking chair. I bet you can find something in thrift shops. My mind's swirling with ideas. But, I like yours the best. That'll be a good winter project. 

Tsk, I remember a few snowy Halloweens for our girls in Kansas... Hot cocoa with marshmellows and warming up in front of the fireplace, after a cold night of Trick or Treating...

Baz, Lil Bro has the best facial reactions  ;D... Lil Punkin is adorable, she looks more and more like her mom.  :-*

Clynn, 22 years is a long time for your HVAC.  ;D  I don't think we went that long in Kansas with our unit.... In the desert, your AC unit works almost year round some places. In Scottsdale, we had it on from middle February to October. That's a long stretch for a unit to run. Car batteries last maybe 2 to 3 years in Arizona. You hope for 3 or 4. So, here in Payson going more than 10 years with one unit is amazing to me. But, I'll take it  ;D ... awww I know quite a few pitties who love their cat buddies.... love the Black Eagle Juvie's bloomers  ;D

Hi Puff, thanks for info I'll tell Mike, it's great to know that assistance is available. But he won't do it, unless he has no choice.... your experience at Germany airport was terrible. Thanks again.  :)

Lisa, Where would you move to? Closer to Jeff's work or near Sydney or your mama? Or just get away from the bridge  ;D

Tsk, A great cast in Poirot's "Hallowe'en Party" David Suchet is my favorite Poirot.

Eagles, I wore jeans, long sleeve shirt and lots of sprays of Deep Wood. And I was hot LOL! I emptied one planter box of perennials. I'll do another tomorrow... Congrats on your mom's car sale! Another thing checked off the list... How is she?

{{{Tig}}} 32 stairs, rest easy tonight  :(

Oldguy, great VW cake for Eagles! A good Saturday night at cards.... Maru doesn't look like he's in the party mood with the hat on. LOL! Thanks for videos.... Bob Wood was a great guitar player. Enjoyed it.

Good night!

So dang cute!...dog invites all his stuffed toy friends to eat with him..

(https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/00-dolphns.jpeg)

Lani - oh you have one of those in your house as well!....Mike I mean....
Chris explores the house for bugs every night before he goes to bed...true OCD, not just that statement.
I kill them.
BTW, my sis suggested putting large walnuts in the shell near windows etc (points of entry) and we've done it and it seems to help. Besides my poofing insecticide around the foundation of the house.

I didn't know UQ was that much younger than Manaaki...we should have some time left then to watch...thanks.

I like your idea better!..buy something at a thrift store to put the very heavy cat on...it may be even 20 pounds..I know if it landed on your foot it would break a bone so maybe my bench idea isn't so good..the red box has wooden lips around the top to prevent it from being knocked over...just didn't prevent micers from finding an entrance point!

Morning all...heating up around here...watering, walking, and errand running today.

Eagles4 - yes I think I did good in the garage...I can now with heavy coat on etc. open the driver's side door and walk around it more easily...I have a small garage and a relatively large SUV.....Scott's Lincoln Navigator would not fit in it. BTW your DeLorean is fabulous.

tsk -  ;D ;D I will tell Jeff that!

kb - There ya go....all good ideas for kitty. 

E4E - Jeff travels the bridge to work every day...25 miles across and back.  We live in a rural area...most call it the simple life over here.  No crime, barely any car accidents, but also not alot of shopping, no hospitals...etc.

karen - I would love to move across the bridge, so we don't have to deal with it, when we want to go somewhere on the weekends.  You are right, our location is great except for the things you mentioned.  We go across the bridge for all that.

oldguy - Yay on your card win!!  Glad to hear you are having some good weather.  Thanks for the videos.

Lani - Thanks for the Royal video of UQ. Gorgeous good night pic.  When Jeff retires, he would like to move out of MD.  MD is not a great state to live in for a retiree, as they tax you to death on your retirement check.  He has always talked about PA, DE, FL or NC.  We will see....lol

Lani, I knew you would say that Mike would never ask for help at the airport unless he absolutely had to! He is from the old school, he takes great pride in being able to take care of himself and his family. But at least he is flying now instead of driving, that's one win you have! Wonderful to hear that we will be able to see UQ for a little while longer! Didn't know he was that much younger than Manaaki, he just isn't ready yet. Someone has to be last! ;D

oldguy, congrats on the car game wins! Cute seeing Miri, Hana and Maru on catnip!

E4E, you and Kris have a VW bus too?  You are classy people!  How fun! Nothing like a quick sale of Mom's car!

kb, love the video of the little dog sharing his dinner with all his friends! And he sure has a lot of friends!

tig, ugh, 32 steps UP. I would have to take a few sits!

Lisa, you live in a beautiful place, it will be a tough decision!  I would love to live in a small town, but you have to consider a lot of things. The closest hospital to my Mom is 15 miles away and it's what is considered a rural hospital. She travels nearly 60 miles for some of her doctor appointments with specialists. You could get closer to that little sweetie with the beautiful eyes!

tsk, you have no idea all of the garage stuff Ed has picked up over the years. Including pounds and pounds of nails and screws. Yesterday I noticed a BIG Army colored something sitting in front of the washing machine. I said 'is that a sleeping bag? He said yes, so I asked him why he bought it. 'For when we go camping.' We haven't gone camping since we got Erin in 1992.

I am late this morning, slept a little later...but where is Phyl?  Ah, you posted  just as I was finishing my post! Love Lucy and Ethel!

Decreasing clouds - currently 57 - high 67

Lani - Good for you in emptying a box of perennials - and I bet you did get hot, but good to be covered up out there!   My mom is doing pretty good - thank you!

Kb - Cute vid of doggie & his toys - and he always seems to bring a different toy! ;D   We spray around the foundation of the house every so often for spiders and it really does help keep them away and out of the house.    So nice you have more room to walk around your garage! :)     Thank you - I will tell Kris and I know he says 'thank you'! 8)

LisaG - I didn't know that Jeff has to travel that bridge to work everyday.  I can definitely see why you would like to move.

Tsk - Like what you said to LisaG to let Jeff know that the Beak took a vote!! Lol  ;D

Phyl - My mom will set some of the money into her checking acct. :)   Like the 'Lucy' pic!

Clynn - Yes, we bought a '77 vw bus in 2012.  Kris has pretty much kept it original and made necessary improvements.  We love our bus!     Ed bought a sleeping bag for when you guys go camping?! So funny!! Lol!! ;D ;D     Love the pic of John & Julian Lennon.     Like the turtle - actually that turtle looks about the same size as our neighbor's! :)

Tig - Glad you were able to take the stairs, but what if someone couldn't do it?!  Safe travels and happy you guys have had a fun trip  8) :)

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Woot, woot!

I worked up the nerve to check on red box....used a crowbar to take the top off which didn't completely seal it anyway...
dumped the mouse nest, cleaned it out, sprayed for bugs and leaving it outside to dry now...I hosed the friggin daylight out of it yesterday to make all the mice jump for their lives!
I will either make a new top that is more secure or tip it over, or use something else.
Now I can put it in the garage and see what moves me next year....
Just happy to have tackled that!

It's actually pretty easy to get in/out of the pop tops upper bunk.

Bearstudy-  It was a good day with no sharp rifle shots, only a couple shotgun blasts with ruffed grouse season now open.

Jani, Cubs, and Birds Being Chased - UPDATE September 18, 2023
https://www.bearstudy.org/updates/daily-updates/4810-jani-cubs-and-birds-being-chased-update-september-18-2023.html

Jaci, Jethro, and Jani
(https://www.bearstudy.org/templates/yootheme/cache/b6/20230918_Jaci_Jethro_Jani-b699b914.webp)

A quick favorite after twelve years of not seeing or recognizing her is Jani, Braveheart’s daughter of 2011. When we first saw her here 2-3 weeks ago, she remembered the program and readily accepted food from Lorie’s hand. Her two small cubs, Jaci (female) and Jethro (male) also have trusting personalities. A couple days ago, they posed for a family ID picture with Jaci on the left, Jethro in the middle, and Jani to the right at the base of the cubs’ favorite white pine with their food pile at the base. It’s a food pile that disappears fast with the help of a dozen mallards that fly in or follow their duck path up from the lake a couple times a day. Also sharing the food is a flock of a couple hundred common grackles that immediately leave if the two juvenile sharp-shinned hawks are seen. In that case, the sharp-shins turn to blue jays that take refuge in the dense branches of a dead balsam fir tree that I’ve let stand for that purpose some 25 years. With the hundreds of chases by sharp-shinned hawks I’ve seen during their spring and fall migrations, I can’t remember seeing a single capture.

Good morning Beakers!  ;D
Morning 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!

It was a cold walk this morning, 48 degrees high will be 82 today.  :)

BL, thanks for video ... cool!

Eagles, Gorgeous VW! It's perfect, love the interior!

Tig, safe travels  :)

{{{Clynn}}} you get Mike  ;D... midwestern stock, no way would he ask for help unless he absolutely needed it. And then he would be embarrassed.... I didn't know UQ was ten days younger too... that makes a lot of sense. Best be confident, then end up stranded and rangers would have to rescue him.   Ed! LOL! Well, you've got camping to look forward to.  ;D... nice pic of the Lennons... oh no, turtle tracks. LOL!

Phyl, Like Lucy I need a sip of coffee before I head out the door with Sadie. I give Sadie a tsp of peanut butter on a doggie cookie in her Kong at the same time too. She's snacking while I'm sipping my coffee and then off we go. Of course, both cats were fed first and Mike's breakfast been set out....

Tsk, a lovely fall day for you.  :)

Lisa, you have time and lovely choices from which to pic for your retirement forever home.  :)

Kb, Sweet pup sharing his food with his toys. LOL! I saw the other one trying to get its shawl off.  ;D ... love the porpoises.... red box is clean and ready for another season.

Here's the spider: giant crab spider, cane spider, Pantropical huntsman spider
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Heteropoda.venatoria.female.1.-.tanikawa.jpg/640px-Heteropoda.venatoria.female.1.-.tanikawa.jpg)

Their bodies grow to around an inch (2.8cm) with a leg span of up to 5 inches (12cm). The female body is larger than the male, but males have longer legs. The females have a tan band, which encircles the carapace, while males have a cream band. The males also have a dark stripe on their abdomen and a pale area just behind the eyes. These spiders are excellent at eradicating pest insects, especially cockroaches. They are fast with strong jaws and hunt their prey rather than relying on a web. They are common in homes, sheds, and barns where they hunt at night.

BF Otis, you have 999 viewers rooting for you this morning!  :-*
(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/61947476fc4888624570dcc4a9460616daca74c43e39350dc68c8a94fda263d3.gif?w=480&h=233)

Otis in the office against the wall and 903 fishing in jacuzzi of Brooks Falls posted an hour ago.
(https://a.disquscdn.com/get?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.explore.org%2Fsn%2F1970%2F10%2F12%2F20230919T150708_4188681.ts.jpg&key=oZFAdgedI0OWTM1OsMlHDA&w=480&h=230)

Otis Fishing Report UPDATE for September 18, 2023: Otis was (probably) snoozling up a storm up above the Falls when we left off reporting last night.

About 4 hours after leaving the Falls by way of the Fish Ladder -- around 5:00 p.m. -- Otis returns across the top of the Falls, and we recall this is the one place we don't see him fishing -- the Lip. If this were 128 Grazer, you know darned well she'd have bolted right there to the edge to catch that lone jumping fish! But not our boy -- he's just a tad bit too far back. ;) He does pause an instant later, as though sniffing that flashy fishy fish, approaches the Lip for an instant, and then thinks I'd rather pace myself than spoot over the Falls (as many of us similar in age would).

(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a1133cef7bf2c2e1f70e9b8687f9225b39a2a20d73b174e8f0ce026af82f7d67.gif?w=480&h=288)

Otis confidently returns the way he left -- Down the Fish Ladder -- as captured by Blair-55 in this Brooks Falls cam GIF. Some chatters noted they hadn't seen this behavior by Otis before, and because some other chatters noted the same in 2022, we started tracking it. :) In 2022, we saw Otis leave and return via the Fish Ladder 9 times. For 2023, this is trip up and down number 3.
He sniffs the air, assesses the Falls situation and walks toward the Near Bank. He heads up Riffles and Down River.

It's more than an hour later when we pick up Otis dining on DOAs in the late day sun at the Lower River. He meanders about and enjoys the lovely evening of cool breezes, cold water, and not-so-fresh salmon, and he does so mostly off cams. And a half hour after that snap, Otis is strolling down the Riffles again, like an easy breezy walk around the block.

(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8a5e3da43bc469b3878209de5ed3961eb7d3483d6fe4ae04088971e54879de16.png?w=480&h=229)

Side Note: In photography, we refer to the time when the sun is at a certain angle at dusk and dawn as the Golden Hour. It takes what could be an ordinary photo and makes it magical! Whether shooting people or nature or model homes, photographers have been known to go out of their way to set up a perfect Golden Hour shot.

At Brooks Falls, every bear looks fabulous during the Golden Hour, but (and we *may* be a wee bit biased), we think this beautiful hunk of bear -- Golden Otis -- looks extraordinary. ♥

(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/967b398b3651c3e53cbd45334501530e90bc44598990d32ef170943de3117bac.png?w=480&h=230)
Otis hangs out there on the Sandbar and eats several scrappy pieces of DOA, including the Fan Favorite Hand Balancing Scraps. After having his fill at the Salmon Scrap Bar, Otis wanders toward the Far Bank. He Meander Fishes with Alice (sort of) leading the way for a few minutes. And then he turns on his heels and heads back toward the Riffles as though on a mission -- ain't much Meander in his steps. He ishugging the Far Bank, but Otis is With Purpose. And then we see the reason. It's time for snoozles (and we know how Otis loves his snoozle time!), as he heads up the Far Bank via a hidden path nearer the Riffles than the Falls. His bulky self is mostly obscured by the foliage, but what we can see indicates Otis is as spry as a spring cub popping his head out of the den for the first time!

We're totaling the fish count for September 18 at 1 Fish + 7 Scraps + 26 DOAs on cam.

We'll be catchin' up later while Otis is (hopefully) catchin' fish, and until then, sending Wishes for Fishes and, again, Fat Bear Poster votes! ♥ You can vote for as many posters as you wish with one vote per poster on Explore's voting page.

Phyl - Thanks for kind words on morning greeting.  I went to Home Depot to look for some plant like that.  Didn't find anything.  My mums are already dying.  Oh, I think I might die if I don't have coffee  ;D ;D

clynn - Thanks for saying I live in a beautiful place.  It really is, but I like all that convenience.
That is a good pic of John and Julian. 

tig - Sorry about you having to climb those 32 stairs.  Safe trip home. 

E4E - Yes, has traveled the bridge for 29 years to work.  Love your VW camper van!

kb - Yay to you for getting up the courage to tackle the box.  :D

Lani - Lawd, that spider! Thanks for the bear study, and for the post on Otis!
I think we will have about 3 more years to decide on what to do.  Jeff wants to retire when he is 62.  At that age, he will have been with the state for 37 years.  I told him why not wait till 65, and make it an even 40!  He was like, NO!  :D

I finally got a call from the vet's office.  All of Bandit's blood work came back normal.  Thank god!  I was getting a lil worried.

 https://apple.news/AVBASIyKjT5qmEDt4yVdTjA

OLDGUY  Loved that GS video  ;D

LANI  UQ may have a few more days to go yet  :-\   Funny story about the Hawaiian spider  LOL  Thanks for the bear report and the handsome family pic of Jani et al.  That is one horrific spider.  Ours really have no substance to them - That one I'd run  :o   Nice Otis report - Golden Hour  :)

KB  Sounds like you did a great job on the garage.  If you were to use that box again you would need to nail on a piece of plywood or the like so entry to the upside down box is secure.

((((CLYNN))))  Sleeping bag for camping  ;D ;D ;D ;D  That is so Tim as well.  Turtle prints in fresh driveway....

TIG  Safe trip home - don't get too  distracted by the eagles  LOL  I think they should have comped you a night . They have lots of repairs to do by your next visit..

EAGLES  that is one beautiful vehicle  WOW    Does Kris show it alot?

LISA   My guess - like we said before a whole change in Bandit's environment and routine for a while there.

It's been raining again most of the day - will check gauge later.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Puff on September 19, 2023, 12:52:33 PM

OK group - I have to try one more time,  bear with me.  Old lady thinks she permitted.

I refer back to what I said to Lani.  But it also has to do with many of the "what's the use" comments we post (nails).  I know, I've heard them, I've said them. 

Let me first talk about myself.  I started using my friend "the stick" about 2-3 years ago, but only when I had to.  I hate my friend BTW.  Airport transport-foreign travel-and foreign terminals came first, now occasionally big airports. 

Not one of my neighbors has recommended that I keep my home.  I have mostly decided to keep it still.  When outside in July I made one change when outside to do my yard stuff.  I couldn't breathe.  Took me too long to get to a place to sit and take a break, I tried not to panic, I tried to breathe.  I do carry a phone out with me, have for a while.  Soooo, I told myself "stupid, dial the damn 911."  3-4 minutes help was here, shoving tubes and air everwhere.  Took me away for a week's vacation.  Now I still have checkup calls from hosp and neighbors "because they really do care!!!!!!  When do smart people really decide Now Be Smart, do what's wise, accept the change, and that we must keep changing.  Three months it will be 80.  I don't want anyone to think they did something wrong if I was just stupid wrong. 

A year and half ago I lost my Tony.  I was sure he needed help.  He didn't want it brought up.  He never said no - he didn't come close to talking things over.  Ignored what he thought and what I thought.  Now I sit and talk to the TV and my forum friends.

Another sign of the way things go - You have all heard of my neighbor Michael, such a nice guy.  Helped Tony and me a lot, still is helping me.  Well, he had another motorcycle crunch while traveling with his buddies out east.  Had a not as bad one 3 years ago.  And, things started years ago when directing traffic, he was very seriously injured.  Told then to stop working and give up the bike.  He gave up working don'cha know.  I have to believe he's older and wiser.  First he mentioned his angel of a wife taking him through these days.  He says he owes her big time; she shouldn't have to go through things alone if something happens again to him again.  I believe if Ton had any idea of how things are going for me he would have been taking advise more readily. 

I know now why there's such short "thank you" when we are helped or offered good ideas.  We don't want to accept being human.  Just Saturday our small development of 15 houses had our block barbeque.  Good sign that the most newest of new neighbors came this year.  Bought house 2021, still unsettled 2022, made it this year.   Hello Adam and Kellie and Adam's son.  Rain stopped in time, didn't start again until things stored away, people walked home.  I needed help with big bowl of bruschetta pasta salad.  The husband came and carried it down the block - I had to carry me.  But when more had arrived too many times people offered to do or offered to get or made sure I was OK.  Which I nicely advised them "I admit I need help and ask and say please."  And I mean it sincerely.  I admit to them and I admit to myself.  It's easier and nicer result.

Other neighbor, other side, Peter called Sunday morning asking if he could stop by and change the lightbulbs kitchen fixture.  (He saw from his house cuz my higher level is above their main floor.  Who knew how much they were watching.  But he did know I wasn't allowed on ladders. Ahhh).

BTW I let Julie know that Michael did mention the possibility of him not replacing the Harley.  Told her so she can plan ahead for any discussion.

OK

P

I am thrilled about the banyan tree!  Such good news and a sign of hope fore the towns rebirth.

Eagles,  beautiful van!   Has he sent a picture to vw?i imagine Kris had your Moms car in tip top shape before the sale!

Lisa, good news on Bandit!   There are many states that do not tax retirement and I guess that you want to stay close to Bradley and darling Sydney  I would not consider Florida!   There are many kinds of tax and they have to get money from someplace.  Property tax is high. Good luck in finding a place..

read a news article advising folks to leave Hummingbird feeders up through October in order to feed those who are migrating late!

Oldguy, great cards! 3 for 3! Way to go!  :)

Lisa, glad for Bandit's good lab report!  :)

Clynn, maybe you should get all your camping gear out, put it next to the new sleeping bag he brought home, and tell Ed to have fun!  ;D ;)  How is your wrist/hand doing? Has it had time to completely recover from the grocery bag injury?

E4E, nice VW bus! That would be almost like "glamping," compared to Ed's green Army sleeping bag camping style!  ;)  ;) ;)

BL, good video of the VW bus that's similar to E4E's.

TSK, it certainly isn't easy to get old. I have the saying, "Getting old is not for sissies," at the ready these days.  ::) ;) :D  I bet your hummers sure are relieved when they see your full feeder.  :-*

BL - Wow!! I value the compliment!! ;D   Thank you for vid!!

Kb - While standing inside the bus you unlatch the top and push the top up.  But to do this, hubby stands on the counter top to be able to reach, then he can push the top up and it is ready for someone to sleep on the upper bed!
Good for you in cleaning & washing out the box - big job, but good that you got it done!

Lani - Love Jani & cubs - Thank you Lynn Rodgers.  Don't like the spiders  ::)   Thank you for posting Otis!   Our local early morning news showed the beautiful new green leaves on the Banyan tree!!

Clynn - You should ask Ed where you should make your camping reservation! ;) ;D   Seriously tho, I know Ed likes to get a good deal, and obviously he got a good deal on the sleeping bag! ;D

Tig - Nice to get a couple of perks for the elevator snafoo. 

LisaG - That is wonderful good news with Bandits blood panel results!!   Can't believe Jeff has not wanted to move closer to his work - what a commute!! :o  I just read you have a high property tax - almost sounds like CA - high property tax here too. :o :(

Tsk - No, Kris does not show (vw bus) very often, maybe once a year.

Kb - Perfect setting; you can sit out and read and if anything is out of the ordinary your Ollie will alert you!!

Puff - Thank you for sharing - stay safe.

Karen - Yes! Hubby had done what he could to ensure Mom's car looked as good & clean as possible before the prospective buyer came by.  My mom would not have been able to sell her car by herself, her SIL (my hubby) handled everything except that she went to AAA today to take care of part of the sale, and then she went to DMV to finalize everything.   She tried to share some of the money with hubby, but he refused!

Oldguy - Kris loved the link and he said he has watched it before!!  Very good!!! ;D   Good for the rain you've had!

Baz - Lol! Ed's sleeping bag and 'glamping'!!

Phyl - Hope you get your PC issues ironed out.  Hope you have a yummy dinner planned tonight. :)

Beakers have a good evening  :)

My mom, sis, & myself all have Sep birthdays, so today they came over and we had good appetizers, & drinks and sat outside under our gazebo and enjoyed the warm weather and had a wonderful time.

Hi Beakers,
If you can stand more pics of the car show we took the vw bus to back in Aug. 2022, here you go.  This was at the Kiwanis car show in Carmel Valley, CA.

This is me standing at the car show.

This is my beloved sweet little Star as we took her almost everywhere with us.

Lisa, great news for Bandit and you. Now you can sleep well tonight.  :-*. UGH Taxes  :(

{{{Puff}}}

Tig, glad you and Camper are safe home.  :)

Karen, UQ has been working hard today. He's practiced his hovering, there was one moment there as he headed out of sight down to the shore, I thought this might be it...and then the poor sweetie was making his long walk back up the hill to his nest. around 3:14pm New Zealand time, which was 45 minutes ago Central time, Albies starting flying about, UQ started calling to them and then he turned left and started running. One of his parents (I hope) flown in, and spent 10 minutes feeding and being with him. He's settled back on his nest with a full tummy.  :-* ....  thank you again for sending me the Banyan Tree article. Life goes on ....  :-*  We leave our hummingbird feeders up year round... I bring it in at night so it won't freeze.

Oldguy, Gabriel Iglesias has a stunning VW collection... oh my thanks for the flyby story. I'm sending to Mike.

Tsk, please send your rain our way.

SED Baz, Peace be with you too  :-*

{{{SED Phyl, Jim, Maggie, Dan}}} No, ""Getting old is not for sissies," a good signature for all of us... I hope you can fix the PC issues.

BL you must be going to Alaska? Hunting? safe travels.

Eagles, What a fun and special evening for you, your mom and sis "Happy birthday and best wishes!"🎂! Mike's family, his dad, mom, grandmother, brother and Mike are Scorpios November birthdays. Our family gathering had over 20-30 for one birthday celebration for all. Love your pics of the VW, neat little kitchen...  and your sweet Star  :-* ...

Good night!
A few pics I captured today.
Around 3pm New Zealand time, which was 8pm Central time, adult albies started flying above and around the island. UQ started calling to them....
UQ sees a parent and starts running and calling  :-*

Andrew may be here today or tomorrow to help me tie up my northern row of arbors...9 of them, use up more prior roofing tin on shed, and put a boulder or two where I want to prevent driving on my property.

Phyl, yes, halfway to the weekend! And here I am, Munchkinless... 59 right now, high 80 today. Oh, those naughty dogs!

tsk, we got a good rain yesterday evening, totally not in the forecast! 1.8", so we are good. You have had quite a bit lately and now more this morning!

kb, not good news on the Mississippi...

Lani, so glad to hear that UQ has been fed and visited by a parent! Back on the nest with a full tummy! Great pictures, I love that beautiful place. And thank you for keeping us up with the Royals, you have captured all the good stuff and more! You are so appreciated!

E4E, great pictures of your VW Westfalia, it looks brand new! And there's little Star... and the back of you!  ;D Oh yes, Ed always tells me what a deal he got, 'it only cost blah blah blah' and always adds that he got his 10% Military discount on top of that! What a great Birthdays celebration! So nice that you have family all around!

T40, great story from the firefighter in Lahaina, so intense... and terrifying for the firefighters and the residents.

BL, heading for Alaska?

baz, most of our old camping gear is up in the attic above the garage. I couldn't get it out if I wanted to, and it surely smells old, it's been up there since 1996 (when we bought this house... That will probably be Erin's to throw out some day... Ed has a degree in Procrastination, a Master's Degree to be sure!

oldguy, I really enjoyed watching the video of Fluffy's VW collection!

Lisa, glad to hear Bandit is fine! Just a fluke, maybe he wants to stay fit and trim for his new love, Misty! For some reason I thought Jeff worked on your side of the bridge! Does he love rush hour on the bridge? LOLOL!

tig, glad you made it back home safely!

LesleytheBirdNerd - Sweet Blue looking so beautiful 🐦 I hope you all have a nice day!

tsk - I hope the rain has stopped for you today.  We have had nice weather all week, but just saw local weather girl say, rain for the weekend.

baz - Thank you  :-*

T40 - Thanks for the article.

BL - Have fun on your next adventure.

Phyl - Thank you  :-*  Hope you got your computer issues resolved. Cute doggie shames.

E4E - Thank you  :-*  Aww, so nice of your Mom wanting to share her sale money with Kris. Sounds like a nice afternoon you had with mom & sis.  Thanks for pics from car show {{Star}}

tig - Glad you are home safe.

Lani - Yes, ugh, taxes! Thanks for the Royal update. 

kb - Glad you have some help this morning with the boulder.

clynn - Love the beautiful pumpkin!  I can always count on you for a good giggle!  Love the Bandit/Misty comment  ;D  Nope, Jeff works on the other side.  He hates the bridge rush hour traffic.  One of the reasons he works 7-3:30pm, most days he can miss it, unless there is an accident on bridge.  Thankfully, he is now teleworking two days a week from home, Thurs & Fri, so he will miss that beach traffic in summer!

Kb - Sad to see the MS River so low - thank goodness the Barges can still make it through there.

Tsk - Needless to say we have never done any cooking inside the bus.  The times that we took it camping, we had a coleman stove and a small bbq grill to use outside. :)

Phyl - Cute morning gif.   Funny 'shames';  cute doggies and rooster!

Puff - Nice that you have had some rain!

Clynn - Ed is a good shopper - and his 10% discount makes it hard to turn down a 'good deal'! ;D   Is it hard not to have the Munchkins on Wednesday anymore?   I know you are finding other things to keep busy!! ;D   Beautiful pic from LesleytheBirdNerd.

Everyone have a nice day  :)

Otis Fishing Report UPDATE for September 19, 2023: We last saw an Otis Cameo on River Watch about 4:30 p.m. Katmai time yesterday. An hour+ later, we find Otis on River Watch Buddy System Meandering with 747. They say their Howdydos, play a quick game of Chicken, and then they turn away from each other simultaneously. Because old bears know it's not worth the fuss -- just feed me and leave me alone.

Moments later, we get a much-missed Otis POUNCE! The body language following is typical Otis -- he pauses, brings his paw up slowly, and grabs his catch with his mouth -- it's a FISH, wiggle and all! He takes it to dry(er) land to dine, as 747 looks on in earnest with his big ol' puppy dog eyes (747 has a catch immediately following, so no worries -- he's not starving hahaha).

Final count for September 19 is 4 Fish + 6 Scraps + 27 DOAs on cam and counted! There were a couple of eats caught off cam and eaten on cam which *may* have been fish based on how long Otis took to eat them, but they're not confirmed to be FISH, so classed as DOAs. The point being that he's eating well in the River!

And until next time, sending Wishes for Fishes! ♥

747 on the Left, Otis on the right, please note gold color and V-like scar on right shoulder

Royal Albatross ~ UQ Chick's Mom Comes In For A Feeding! 💗 9.20.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yecNJhhG3Y&t=2s

Sep 20, 2023
UQ chick sees a parent flying overhead and he gets excited and starts wheeing. UQ then runs towards Mom LOL as he sees her back on her nest. Lucky UQ gets a nice feeding from Mom ♥ This was an important feed because this may the last time that UQ gets to see his Mom before he fledges. LOL being a single parent this season is averaging  coming in about every 6-7 days. UQ chick is 233 days old today (average fledging is 240 days). With the amount of flight practice he has had over the past couple of week, UQ could very easily fledge with the next gust of wind. Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

I took several pics yesterday.
UQ spent several times practicing his big moment!

KB, YAY Andrew is coming. I can't believe you're getting ready for fall. Summer has flown by.... Sadie doesn't like rabbits either. She was just barking at one on our property, as if they care! LOL!... thanks for info on Mississippi low tides.  :(

Tsk,  Family events from November thru February, birthdays, holidays, company and business parties, etc.... By the time it was February, the family was sick of each other. Considering too Mike worked with his older brother full time. LOL!

Phyl, great shames... Sadie ate pizza and breadsticks! My Sadie would do that too.  8) ... love the chicken poop eating dog shame! The chicken with a sign! LOL LOL :-*

Clynn, love your morning pics! ED has a Master's Degree in Procrastination! LOL! I'm glad you're enjoying the Royal Albatross and Katmai Brooks Falls Brown Bears, they are special to me. Eagle-Duck was wise to open our world to many other critters. He started my interesting in the Raptors/wild birds of US/UK/Africa/Philippines, Gray Seals of Germany, ... RRP forum members/Peeps introduced Royal Albatross, Puffins/Seals of Maine and Sloths of Costa Rica to us. It's a big world out there and there are many humans working hard to bring awareness of the needs of the Raptors, Wildlife and all God's creatures great and small. Just like you do with the Wild Heart Ranch and Sea Eagles. Speaking of Raptors, I've decided American Bald Eagles may not be as attached to their nests or mates as I thought many years ago. Look how many couple changes we've had. Also, look at Iris. I've yet to understand why Louis choose a new mate and yet won't leave Iris or the nest alone  :( . This "Same mate forever" is not as I once thought. So, I've had a hard time accepting the mate changes at NEFL, it's not even the same eagle bloodline, so I don't watch. Lord knows, I've never gotten over SWFL Ozzie's death, but with time I've came to accept M15 with Harriet. and now a new female :( . Lots to mull over there. No need for discussion, just sharing my thoughts with a friend as I walk through the forum. LOL!  ;) ... Oh I saw an interesting Blue Jay video this morning, I forgot to copy it. I'll look for it and post it. See ya!  ;D :-*

Hi Lisa, Jeff must enjoy being able to work at home those last two days of the working week and then it's days off till Monday!  ;D I like having Mike work in his home office too. Sadie spends hours sleeping on his couch or by his chair. They both nap together and eat popcorn during break time.  ;D

Eagles, I married into a Scorpio Midwestern family... a huge awakening for this Hawaiian! I rolled up my sleeves and knew it was going to be survival of the fittest!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I know that Katmai National Park - Brooks Falls is closed to hunting bears, it's a large area, and most of the BF bears hibernate in the National Park

No Andrew today....he did say today or tomorrow.....guess tomorrow!..which is fine actually as it's getting hot today, 85..

Lani, don't forget the osprey/eagle nests in Estonia! I remember watching Piret and Madis after Decorah fledged and while the Harmon incident was underway. I got the website from someone in the MN DNR chat. I remember the next year when Horst was so sad when the goshawk took Stephi from the nest (White-tailed Eagles). And Ivo and Irma's nest. Neither of them had ospreys this year, there had been a 2 year streak of murderous goshawks at Maarko & Miina's nest (formerly Piret/Madis's nest) and they went elsewhere...I really liked watching those nests. I check on them occasionally, and just saw this. An osprey was spotted near a site where Urmas was gathering fish. They were able to read the band and it is one of Marko & Miina's from 2021, the one that survived the goshawk attack.

And UQ gets fed again today! I didn't realize that one parent was missing! He will be ready soon! Good hovering! Otis is a professional fisher, he is just so casual about it! Love it! Wonder how he got that scar on his shoulder. well, we know he won...

tsk, is Tim planning to go fishing again? Maybe....  ;D

Sydney posted the Munchkin's school pictures!

E4E, yes, I miss the Munchkins! And I want to comb Bella's hair!

Lisa, I am with Jeff on the working early so as to miss the heavy traffic! I was going in early to miss the trafic and finally realized that I was mostly still working until 5:00. So I asked for a 4-day week, went in at 6:00, off at 4:30. Then I had Sacred Wednesday!

{{{Talon and Bella}}} absolutely adorable school pics!  :-*

Clynn, I've never forgotten about Estonia ospreys, never got over that too.... and when the Goshawk took Stephi, poor Horst, he had us all in tears  :'( ... that's great news that a banded 2021 osprey was found! Gorgeous osprey!  :-*  Banding is so important, I wish Decorah eagles were banded. I'm sure at least one of the new Decorah pair is one of Decorah mom and dad's! .. when I knew you want to comb her hair! Which is adorable by the way. She looks so much like her mom.  ;D

LANI   It has always been so amazing to me how these bears are tracked as I've said many times re: Lynn's program.  Good to know there are many folks who have this interest and enthusiasm.  I bet if you lived up there you would also be a bear tracker in one program or another  ;D
So happy to hear UQ got fed today.  That last picture of UQ is so cute - Pondering the life ahead of him.  :-*      There is that - too much family all at one tine LOLOL    Your ruminations are so true - we have learned so much about the eagle population.  Nice for a break to be introduced to some new critters.  Good grief - One could spend an entire day just on Explore.org  :o :o :o :o

CLYNN   He has an entire set of fishing equipment here PLUS  tons of it from Door county.  I think there are 4 fishing boxes full - about 9 rods and reels and a wall unit full of sundry stuff.  There are places to fish around here and he and his brother do that occasionally.  Take a lawn chair and cigar and have a fun few hours.   Sweet school pics.  Can really see Talon's freckles  ;D

Afternoon Beakers

Lani - Thanks for the info on Otis, and on UQ.  UQ will know when the time is right to go. I wish DE would band all the eaglets too.  I still think HM looks so much like Mom D, and is one of her kiddos.  Jeff does enjoy teleworking two days a week.  He turned it down when they first offered it, then kept getting stuck in traffic on Friday's and that changed his mind. 

tsk - Yep, some of the problem solved.   :)

kb - Aww, no Andrew today, hope he shows up tomorrow. 

clynn - Love the school pics of the munchkins, and even the messy hair look on Bella.  It is the style!

baz - Waving to ya!

Good evening!  Great posts
and wonderful Fall pictures!  Clynn, I love the pumpkin and the flowers!  Lisa and Eagles, pretty flowers!
Had a busy day today with stuff!   More tomorrow!   May go out for the rsv vaccination tomorrow pm!  And I think another pneumonia shot.
The pictures of the bears are great Lani.  The change of mates isn't too bad when you read that the missing mate cannot be found!  Do not like the idea that Harriet died but I believe she did!  So it goes!  Had almost forgotten the Estonia nests. Thanks for the reminders!
Fishing tackle!  Tim and Tom may get that road trip and need it! Ed can gift the munchkins with the camping stuff and take them for a great outdoor experience!  Lol!
Have to clean the kitchen up!  Oh, I worked an early shift in downtown Chicago!  Great to beat the rush hour traffic!   Seds

LisaG - That is so good that Jeff is working from home a couple of days a week.  It saves on fuel and there are fewer interruptions when working from home - so therefore more productivity  :)    Thank you for hugs for my little Star - she always loved going with us anywhere and traveled really well in a vehicle. :)

Lani - Liked the fishing report with Otis and love the pic of 747 and Otis.  Like the picture of 503.   Thank you so much for the latest on UQ chick and love all the fantastic pictures!!    You are definitely a survivor of the fittest and I'm sure it has not been an easy ride, but you and Mike make a great couple and a great Team!!
I read what you said to Clynn about E-D introducing other animals, critters, wild birds, etc.  How special he brought this to you.   I sure wish we could know how E/D's little Maxie is doing these days.

Kb - Hope Andrew comes by tomorrow.  You are smart to already be looking ahead to get your yard ready for the change in weather!

Clynn - Liked reading what you posted to Lani.   What a beautiful picture of one of the survivors from the goshawk attack that occurred in 2021.
Talon & Bella's school pics are so precious - thank you for sharing!!!!   I know you liked combing and fixing Bella's hair! :)

Baz -  :)

Tsk - Wow, Tim has everything he needs to do some fishing!! 8) ;D

SED Phyl, Special memories for you  :)..  I have good memories of going fishing/crabbing with my brother off the Pearl Harbor piers.  :)

SED Karen, great idea for Ed, munchkins and camping gear!  ;D

Eagles, I have thought about Horst's Maxie so often. I do hope Maxie settled in with Horst's son's girlfriend. I was sad when his son closed Horst website. I wonder how big Horst's little grandson Johnny is now? Probably a teenager  ;D. .... Take care  :-*

Royal Albatross ~ UQ Gets A Supp Feeding! ♥ A Chick Comes Over Wheeing! GLY Or L Brief Visit 9.21.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tpG6e4qu-U

Sep 20, 2023
UQ stayed below the hill for the most part of the day but did pop his head up so that we could get some great zooming on him!! Later in the morning, UQ is walking around and sees the basket people arriving one more time.The rangers weigh UQ (he came in at 7kg which is a bit low) so they give him electrolytes of 600ml and 1kg of fish & squid - bringing his weight to 8.6kg which is much better.

One of the neighbor chicks comes by wheeing excited for a feed too! This chick has been receiving regular supp feedings as well and can smell the fish/squid in the container. When the rangers were finished with the feeding, they get up to leave and the chick turns around and leaves as well.

Later, UQ is in his spot below the hill when one of Manaaki's parents is seen flying in.  :-* They walk up the hill and sit next to UQ for a brief visit. It might be Mama Lime, she looks up at the empty nest as UQ is wheeing and begging for a feeding. She does not stay long - she was kind to UQ chick  :-* , perhaps realizing now that Manaaki is really gone and so she flew off in a beautiful departure over the sea. She circled around, perhaps saying her goodbyes for the season as she disappeared into the horizon. It is time for her to head to South America as her work here is finished. Both GLY & L have done a great job raising Manaaki and they should be very proud. ♥ Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

Good night!

UQ has settled into his old nest, where his mom waited for him to give a feeding yesterday. He's been there since his feeding from the rangers.  :-*

Morning kb and all  :)

Phyl - Fingers cross you got everything worked out on the PC.

karen - Mama went and got her RSV shot yesterday.  I am headed to Sam's next week for flu, and last year they wanted to give me the pneumonia shot, I said no, but I think I am going to get it this year. 

E4E - You are correct about working from home being more productive.  Jeff says, he gets more work done at home, then in the office with people stopping by his desk wanting to chit-chat.  The only thing he misses on Thur & Fri is his walks with two other co-workers, he says.

Lani - I have been good, no use complaining when no one wants to hear about it.  ;D
Thanks for the update on UQ.

For those that may want a few more.....Free COVID test kits are coming back. Here's how to get them.

Lisa, beautiful zinnias, love the colors. I am going to try planting some zinnias in the Spring! I think it's a good thing to get the vaccines, last time I was at Sams Pharmacy they told me it was time for the new Covid, pneumonia, RSV and flu. I asked if I could get all of them at once and they said yes. I don't know though, think I will split it into two visits. Don't want double sore arms! WF has the same schedule as Jeff's work, two days at home, 3 on site. Erin thinks they are trying to get back to all on site, but I think they are going to catch flack over that. It was documented that workers were more productive working from home, but I think a lot of the higher ups really don't like working from home all that much.

Lani, awww, sweet video of UQ and Manaaki's Mom sitting with him for a bit, and then her beautiful gliding off into the distance! I have also wondered about Maxie and how she is doing these days. I so remember when Horst found out, after all those years that Max was Maxie, we all had a good laugh over that! Somehow I can't imaging these two technology-raised kids camping! But we should try it at least once. I could see them in a cabin in the woods, with internet access!

karen, yes, you should get all those vaccines! Yes, Ed can take the Munchkins camping... ::) ::)

tsk, Ed has brought several fishing poles home from DAV, he just can't resist a 'good buy' even if it is something he won't ever touch again. He took Erin fishing once or twice when we first moved to Iowa (1996). I will tell you some of the great 'collections' Ed has! Books and cookbooks, he doesn't read books or cook. Flashlights. Bottle openers. Jewelry. Buttons, Hot Wheels, Legos, Lincoln Logs, Kinex, Little Golden Books. Frisbees, print tennis shoes (like Ed Hardy), wooden figures, paper weights, banks.  There's more... continued later...

Phyl, sorry you were having computer problems, I know how that is! Puts me in tears when it happens, especially if I can't get ahold of Erin. Thank goodness I have a laptop too, it has saved me a couple of times!  It's just a simple one, nothing fancy, well worth the $$. Yes, I agree, Bella's hair is the style...and she is still cute but I want to comb it! I remember how Mom fussed over our hair on school picture day! Cute morning pic! Oh, the banana seat bicycle, love it! Another very pretty sunrise on the Flyway! The vintage Oreos remind me of the Girl Scout cookies I sold, 50 cents a box. Now $6.

tsk, I bought our new bed online last year, it is a Ghost bed. I checked reviews etc and ordered it, there was a 90 day guarantee. I wondered how it could be returned though, it came all sucked up in a box that it would never fit back into!

eagles4 - well not that smart ;)...it takes me a whole month to prepare for winter and it's not unusual to get small amounts of snow in October.....it takes at least a month on the spring side as well...all for a short maybe 4-5 month summer....LOL...at least I'm not a food farmer in the upper midwest.

My to do list before ground freezes and am sure not complete:
leaf pick up of grass...for weeks and at this time I bag it after it gets too thick..at least once per week.
bring in all garden art
rabbit proof feet and feet of vegetation.
wash outside windows
weed gardens and cut back some but not all perennials
check outside house for any caulking need
winterize vehicle
dump all annuals
Bring in all chemicals, paint etc to inside laundry room or they freeze
Put all deck furniture under cabana.
You get the picture!

I've finished my outdoor painting goals this summer...
Next summer I need to re-oil my decks, on my hands and knees last time it took me 3 weeks..
Andrew will re-build my front door roof over steps
Andrew will deliver and lay out at least a yard and a half of landscaping rock (needs refreshing) and mulch

My ash tree this morning....ash trees are the first tree to change color and drop in Minnesota:

Lani - I bet you are correct that Horst's Grandson could be a teen now!   Glad that UQ got some food from the Rangers - love the picture.

LisaG - Walking with friends at work is fun and I can understand that's what Jeff misses!   Thanks for providing link for free test kits.

Tsk - Will they take away your old mattress at the time they deliver your new one?   Enjoy the new!

Phyl - Cute gif this morning.  Hope you get your PC working right for you.   Like the bike!

Clynn - Probably a good idea to split the vaccines into a couple of different days - save your arm. :)   I too, remember when Horst told us that Max was really a Maxie. :)    Ed sure has a lot of 'treasures'!! ;D
Lol those brownies! ;D   Like the Jimmy Buffet pull-over top!

Kb - That is quite a 'To-do' list you have!  No wonder you start preparing early.  Beautiful ash tree - lots of leaves to be picked up later. ;)

We are dealing with smokey skies - yesterday was very poor quality, and the news says today will be a tad better, and tomorrow should be better.  We are getting smoke from wild fire in northern CA and near the Oregon border.   My eyes were teary yesterday due to the smoke.

I need to get ready to pick up my mom for a doctor appt this morning - need to be at her place at 8:50.

clynn - ROFL at the brownies!  Yes, I would be splitting up the vaccines too, if I had to get all of that at one time.  I did get the flu and shingle shot in separate arms last year, and arms were sore for a few days. The managers and senior managers at Jeff's work do get two days of telework, too.  They didn't at first. 

kb - Ash tree looks pretty with the leaves turning.

E4E - You're welcome.   :)  Good luck with your mom's appointment.

Temps are mid to high 80s but Monday it will be 90!   Somehow that is crossing a line! Lol.

Will be getting all 4 vacs, just not sure in what combo!  Think rsv and pneumonia together today or tomorrow!  Covid next week and flu mid October!  The flue season peaks in Jan/feb, I think and I do not want the shot to have lost much of its effectiveness by then.  Lisa, i have not had reactions to these shots except for a sore arm, maybe!  I like pfizer and Publix is not doing them this year!  Will trek across the street to Walgreens!
Tsk, Betsy Walgreen went to Oak Park High School!  I was in Chicago about 5 years ago for my high school friends 80th birthday lunch and we were all astounded at the traffic, growth, etc!  Prior to that at our 50th reunion a guy from out of town was driving us from OakBrook to Down town and we could not direct him from the shopping center to the Eisenhower!  He was frustrated and said, I thought you girls lived here!   We said, theychanged everything!   We did get there. Lol.
Great flowers again this am!   Love the little houses!

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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, it was a sweet video of UQ.... nice pics of your Ash tree leaves changing. The Maples have started turning their gorgeous red colors here. Another nippy morning here too.
You've got a good list. I've got mine on the refrig. I need reminders these days.  ;D

Hi Lisa  :)

Tsk, We need to buy a new mattress too, but we're not going to do it online. What brand did you get?

Phyl, pretty sunrise on the Flyaway!

Clynn, never heard of "Ghost Bed" ... LOL over the brownies... cute sweatshirt.  :)

Eagles, sorry about the smoke. I'm not sure your location to check out the nearest fire.  Here is a government site to help identify and they post current conditions.  https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/
We have a lightning cause fire called "Valentine" that is 27 miles to the East of Payson started Aug 16th. No smoky skies today, the wind is blowing the opposite direction. It's 68% contained. I pray you get some wind to blow the smoke out of your area, and the fire is contained. Also, prayers for your mom's dr appt.... Take care

Mike is on his way home today.
He should land in Phoenix after 1pm.  ;D

HOWDY BEAKERS!  :)

I enjoyed all the posts I just now caught up on from last night and so far today.  :)

I'm heading out for errands so I can stay home Friday and Saturday. It will be windy and rainy here both days.

The National Hurricane Center started issuing advisories, and a cone with a track, at 11 am eastern time this morning - calling it Potential Tropical Cyclone 16 (PTC 16) for now, since it hasn't actually formed yet. If it does, it will probably be named Ophelia. It could form into either a tropical storm, or a sub-tropical storm.  They have already issued Tropical Storm Warnings for coastal areas from Wilmington, NC up to Ocean City, MD, with storm surge expected. Those warnings may get extended farther north as time goes by. I expect lots of rain and winds over 40 mph where I am, and I'm not officially inside the cone. Impacts will reach far beyond the center of this storm, no matter what it is eventually categorized as.

People with coastal interests from SC to NY and beyond, take note and keep updated as changes are forecast.

HEADS UP, LISA! Plan your bridge crossings accordingly!

Later, Beakers. Have a great day!

LISA   You should probably get a pneumonia shot.  I had asked my doc in July if I should get another pneumonia shot as Walgreens had sent a prompt.  Doc said no. - Last one was Jan of 2013   Sterns and Foster Ultra Firm.

PHYL   What are your PC issues?  Maybe OLDGUY can help? or LORI?   Beautiful flyway.  Love the old ads.  Amazing what they used to glorify - smoking while pregnant for one.  :o :o 

CLYNN   Love the pumpkin with flowers.  I always say I'm going to try that one year and I never do.  :P  Doc said I did not need RSV....OH MY - Ed does like to collect  ;D ;D ::) ::)       LOLOL  Cast iron brownies - Tim would eat them  LOLOL

KB  Lots of things on your list are on mine too  ;)   Love the ash tree pic.

EAGLES  Yes - altho they don't tell you that they charge for taking away the old mattress/box spring.  Caught between a rock and a hard place - What would we do with it??? and they weigh a ton. :o     So worth it to me.   Hope Mon's appt is just a recheck?

KAREN   Did not know that about Betsy Walgreen  LOL  I remember when you came to town and we couldn't find a time to meet... :(

LANI    I did due diligence and checked Consumer reports and other mattress evaluators - Of the 10 mattresses they recommended 8 of them were on line.....I don't think I could ever do that. Now we have two mattress stores near by - one in town actually.  Checked both of them out and both carried the same name brands but liked the service in one over the other.  Tim chose Sterns and Foster ( ultra firm).  They also carried Beautyrest and Sealy and one other name brand - the name eludes me.  Mind you, none of these appear on any  "best mattress" lists that I saw...Mattresses last 10-12 years these days as there are only 1 or two brands that you can still flip.   We are not likely to need another mattress in our lifetime  LOLOL    I tried to make the bed and to tuck in the new mattress cover or the sheets ( new to fit the 12" deep mattress) I could barely lift the corner of the mattress.  Sigh.
I remember, was it last year, the fires were really scary around you.  Good to have Mike back - Did you get your list of chores done  LOL?

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: LisaG1967 on September 21, 2023, 02:14:23 PM

tsk - I think I will get the pneumonia shot.  Is yours a flip or pillow top?

baz - There will be no crossing of the bridge on Saturday!   ;D  You be safe too with impending storm.  I was just looking at TWC app on my phone, and I am in the red cone zone. 

Lani - 503 looks like they are smiling.   :D  Hope Mike has a safe trip home.

karen - Glad to hear that you have not had any reaction except the sore arm.

Nice Mn picture!
Just home from getting rsv and pneumonia shots!   One in each arm and both hurt like the dickens!  Did a little shopping in Publix while I was there and they do not feel sore now!  Will see in the am!
MD who had told me i did not need pneumonia vac changed his mind!  Will get covid next week!  Flu lter, I think.

Although I have a leaf rake I have rarely used it! I mowed with a grass catcher and got the leaves up with it!  Some times dumped it in beds to mulch!  One year, in Chicago, I did not do the last mow before months of snow covered the whole yard!  I was concerned that I would ruin the lawn with mold!  We suddenly had a very warm spell in February and I got the mower out with the catcher on it!  My grass was amazing!  Green as could be!  A neighbor of my Dads saw me and called him asking if I was nuts and thought it was spring!  My dad  said no, she is actually late with her Fall clean up.

Taught me not to stress if every thing is not done on time!

Lani, glad Mike is almost  home!   UQ was fed!

East coasters stay safe!

KB   Hey great - perfection as usual from Camper.

Karen - Good for you in getting those shots and that your arms aren't too sore now!   Love the story of your Dad and his reply to his neighbor. ;D

Lani - Thanks for the map of wild fires - that is really helpful.  Yaaay! Mike should be home by now! :)

Bazi - Take care with those storm situations - good idea that you have planned to stay home for the weekend and make sure you have lots of food, drinks, & treats! {{Bazi}}

Tsk - About 3 yrs ago we ordered a mattress from Costco and it got delivered in a box over here.  Hubby took our old one to the Landfill where they will take them for free.   It is so nice to get a new mattress - hope you like yours!

Kb - Wow that is quite a gorgeous photo that Camper took!!!

Tig - Beautiful pics with your phone!   Love those pretty autumn colors!

Beakers have a good night - SEDs

My mom & I had great quality time together; just her & I!  We went out to a nice breakfast place and then came back to my house for a little bit, then we went out and ran a couple of errands, then I was ready to take her to Kohl's but she was tired, so we will go another day!

Lisa, thanks. Yes, you're in the cone, and have a tropical storm warning. Maybe not bridge crossing on Sunday there, either.  ;)  I noticed The Weather Channel is doing live coverage of the storm till 1am tonight, even though their TV Guide doesn't show it - last minute line-up for them. The next full storm update (cone/track and intensity) will be 11pm tonight, and then 5 am in the morning, and 11 am Friday (eastern, of course). They will do intermediary advisories (location, warnings) 3 hours before and after each of those full updates... just FYI. The heavy rain will get to you waaay before the center does - and the higher winds, too (starting for the Delmarva Friday evening, not late). It's loaded on the north side of the center. At least, that's the way things look at the present. Everything can change.  ;)

E4E, thanks. Glad you had such a nice day with your mom.  :)  Yep, I got my errands all run today, and trash out, etc., so I can stay high and dry at home with Zippo Friday and Saturday. Got my storm snacks! Shrimp, fresh organic baby greens, yummy ripe strawberries (they smell divine, too!), fresh deli-made ready-to-cook pizza, dark chocolate almonds, and chocolate peanut butter ice cream!!!  ;D ;D

Tig, great pics.

Tsk, ahhh... a new mattress! Enjoy! And sleep... sleep... sleep...  :)

Karen, glad you got your vax, and arms not sore after you shopped.  :)

Have a good evening, All. Peace.

We luv our Tempur-pedic medium soft mattress. We turn it head to toe yearly. It allows my hip area to settle in and adds support for me knees so I may sleep on my back at times.
I only got the front mowed after supper before the mosquitoes came.

Good Evening Beakers

We had some spotty light showers go through the area a couple of times today - .01 to .04 inches for the day - was not on the forecast.  Forecast has rain for the next 3 days, but every update to the forecast has changed the amount of rain from a low of a quarter inch to a high of 1 inch for the 3 days total.  The current forecast is half in. for the 3 days.

Lani, glad Mike is safe at home again, you two have a wonderful peaceful weekend! UQ looks all snuggled in for the rain with his full tummy...

oldguy, good videos, Maru definitely loves wearing beer boxes!

Phyl, well, if you have the cast iron cornbread pan you can make those lovely brownies! Pretty sunset on the Flyway, lots of egrets? Cute picture this morning! Our high will be 73 today, with some rain likely.

baz, sounds like you have the essentials all lined up for a possible storm! Yum!

E4E, our trash pickup here has stickers you can buy to put on large things that don't fit in the trash can. A mattress costs $10 to have them pick it up. An extra bag of trash is $1. Makes it pretty convenient to get rid of those big things. $35 to have them pick up a big appliance. I have no idea where the dump is!

karen, kudos for getting those vaccines! You are getting around pretty good, getting stronger!

Talon got his orange belt!

EAGLES   Nice day with Mom - gives Sis a bit of a break as well.  :)

BAZI   Boy you sure are set for the storm  ;D  Thanks for the report - Hope you can all stay safe today.

TIG   Your mention of mosquito reminds me that I have not had one bite this year!!!  It sure has been wet enough lately.  What we have had tho are some feisty squirrels trying to have their way with a number of females in the neighborhood.  A large maple tree branch in our yard seems to be a very popular rendezvous . ;) ;)  :o :o

OLDGUY   Love store and library and fire station cat stories  ;D     That Claire - she sure takes on a lot! But she has a lot of help. Great piece on why cats sleep with you.

LANI  Mike's home and hopefully can use today as one of resting up.

CLYNN   Congrats to Talon.  I think that is a great program for kids to build strength and confidence.  the kids look so much like their parents  ;D

PHYL   Was not able to connect to that sight.

Off to Milwaukee today .  Instead of our annual golf tourney with Tim and I and my two brothers - considering my surgery earlier this year and Tim's balance issues - we are doing a miniature golf tourney and that way my brother's wives can participate.  We will award the trophy to the best couples score  LOL  Then we'll get lunch together.  Should be a nice catch up day.

See you all later

Happy Friday all!

Well, Andrew is now coming next week for my 3 of 5 final projects for him....it's okay with me.

So, I mowed the back yard hill yesterday picking up a ton of leaves....HAHAHA....this morning it is raining ash leaves on my deck and yard....maybe 50 percent down now?...will happen fast which is okay with me.
I already filled the 2 garbage cans down the hill so they will need dragging up and dumped before my next mow....I still have a huge maple at the corner of my back yard to drop but that one tends to drop straight down.

My neighbor's ash leans way over my property line which is now yellow...I already paid myself to have many large limbs leaning almost to my roof a few years back, but they wouldn't go higher up to cut more as it would "look funny"...oh okay. It drops on my tiered perennial gardens on top of the mulch which makes it unmowable and a hand pick up job in the spring..I'm praying this year for a strong Northerly wind soon!

I don't understand how his ash which is really too close to his newer built garage and NOT treated is doing okay..I guess he benefits from all the rest of us who do pay treat against ash borer?

Lani - that is sort of like the video pic of UQ I watched yesterday just after sun up for hours..I got concerned with no movement after awhile. That is until a few hours later I saw the Rangers feed him..

Prediction is for 1/2 inch of rain or more over the next several days. would be the best rainfall since last winter if it holds..Crossing my fingers and going to mow the front shortly in advance.

Clynn, Kris needs to work on the vw bus in your am picture!  Might take him all winter!  Love tge family picture of Talon and his orange belt with Bella trying to steal the attention with her pose!  Soooo funny!
73 this morning but cool with a  breeze out of the NE!  Nice but warming up!
Those on the East Coast stay safe from the weekend winds from number 16!  No surfing!

Phyl, my Publix doesn't make appointments!   Just walk in!   The arm with the rsv vac is still sore!   Since i wanr a Pfizer covid vac, I will go to Walgreens!  Think I repeat myself but Publix has a company that is just now in the game.  Probably fine!  Flu season does not peak until Jan or Feb, so I will wait a little for that one.
Glad my rsv was in my left arm!

LOTS  happening is my excuse also ran out of recipe cards - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.  I was going to be fancy dancy and use the cards for Lani, Phyl, E4E, and tsk who originally asked for me to share.  Then, I decided to just give you all a job.  I mentioned up front that it was a special salad.  And. . . .Now I wish I had the lettuce - I want a salad.  ::)


CAESAR  SALAD
Recipe From     LaNora/Puff
Serves                6 to 8

Ingredients:

Salt
1 large garlic, or about 5 cloves, peeled and minced/pressed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
hot sauce, favorite brand, 4 - 6 drops, careful!
     I have sauce from the Caribeen which tends to be HOT.
     I use maybe 2 or 3 drops
Anchovy paste  -   3 long squiggles
     Anchovies also OK to smash, but then only about 1/2 can
3 tablespoons oil, I use Mazola corn oil rather than olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 - 4 bunches of romaine lettuce, torn apart to bite size
2 hard boiled eggs, diced up (raw eggs not appealing to me)
1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh grated Romano cheese
1/2 bag caesar croutons
Freshly ground pepper     
3-4 clumps romaine lettuce

Sprinkle bottom of wooden salad bowl with salt and rub whole garlic
     cloves into wood.  Then mince garlic.
Add Dijon, lemon juice, hot sauce, anchovy.  Stir until salt dissolves.
Add corn oil and vinegar.  Stir until blended.
Add romaine and toss.
Add croutons and cheese and toss well.
Serve with freshly ground pepper.

And you know what I always say. . . . .ENJOY!

{{{Puff}}} Thank you for the delicious Caesar Salad recipe! It's printed and placed into my recipe folder. And will be made asap! Mike doesn't like eggs, so I use the egg yolk in my recipe and he can't tell the difference. Your recipe reminds me of the great Caesar Salad at Spinnakers in Sausalito, CA. It was our favorite restaurant to go to when we would visit Aly in San Fran. They prepared your salad at the table in a wooden bowl. Perfection!  https://www.spinnakersasausalito.us/home  ... Thank you for sharing  :-*

Karen, I hope your sore arm is better tomorrow. Here is the link to the great story about Brook Fall Bears and Fat Bear Week! Thanks for sending it to me!  ;D
Fat Bear Week 2023 hasn’t even started but these burly bears are already winners

Eagles, you and Kris will have a busy day with errands... How's the smoke? Safe travels.  :)

Kb, sweet fox... you are one busy gal... It's 4:30 am Saturday in New Zealand and I can finally see the white top of UQ's head. They predict overcast clouds, but I do hope winds pick up for him.

Hi Lisa  ;D

Tsk, After everything each of your family members have been through this year, what a fun way to bring in the fall! Enjoy and Good luck!  ;D ;)

Clynn, YAY TALON!!! Congratulations!  Great pic of the beautiful happy family! Now with just the tilt of Miss Bella's head I can see Erin on that beautiful face.... What a contented look in Keebler's eyes!  ;D

Phyl, I watch via stream a couple of Alaska shows. And I've always been amazed how big their veggies grow! .... last night's sunset pic was beautiful.

Royal Albatross ~ UQ Gets A Supplementary Feeding! A Chick Walks Up The Hill ♥ 9.22.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up1zRUjOUZs&t=4s

Sep 22, 2023
QU is sitting in his usual spot just below the hill but still in view of the cam. Another chick comes walking up and looks around the area. This is a male chick with a black Darvic band from one of the nests below the hill. It may have been the same chick that came up and was interested in the feeding that UQ got yesterday from the rangers.  He is getting supplementary feedings as well.

Rangers Colin and helper arrive a few minutes after the chick departed back down the hill and they gave UQ his supp feeding. First they gave him hydration (electrolytes) through a syringe and then comes the whole fish - 9 of them I counted. Ranger Colin makes sure each dish is swallowed before they feed the next one. That is a good meal for UQ and he should be feeling quite content now. Watch UQ shake out his wings after the rangers are getting ready to leave!!! Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

I took this pic of UQ yesterday, it rained most of the day :-*

HAPPY WINDY AND WET FRIDAY, BEAKERS!  :)

Phyl, if you don't make those corncob cast iron pan brownies now, it just won't be right!!  ;D

Lani, yep, snack selection was good... I've already made a dent in the strawberies and the dark chocolate covered almonds, and last night, I had to have a litte chocolate peanut butter ice cream, you know, just to make sure it was okay.  ;) ;D  Glad Mike is home and all is well. Enjoy the weekend! Thanks for the report on the bears - all of them - and UQ and his visitor chick!  :-* :-* :-*

Clynn, yes, good snacks. LOL! If it's gonna storm, I will lay in snacks!  ;D ;D I'm going to cook the fresh deli-made in store pizza this afternoon... I don't want to take a chance on losing electricity tonight and not being able to cook it.  And I wil have a fresh salad of those yummy baby mixed greens with it. CONGRATS TALON ON THE ORANGE BELT!!  :D I LOVE that family pic at the dojo! LOL - Bella showing off her pretty dress skirt... and ready to give a curtsy!  ;) :D :D  So cute - ALL of them!!  :-* :-*  Keebler just cracks me up every time!! So glad he has that wonderful forever home, and his new, heated bed looks very snugly. He's so cute!  :-* As willi would say... I want one!!  :-*  I miss willi!!  :-* :'( :-*

Lisa, I'm surprised you and Jeff didn't go yesterday to get weekend supplies. Hope y'all can beat the rush today!  :)

Puff, thanks for your great Caesar Salad recipe! I have the perfect kind of wooden bowl for making one, too. I sure do miss eating in places where they would make a for real classic Caesar Salad, tableside, in a big wooden bowl, with raw eggs back then, of course (before everyone worried over salmonella in raw eggs), and smashing in the whole anchovies to make them a paste and mix in that great dressing, before tossing in the fresh Romaine lettuce leaves and croutons. I want one!! Now!!  ;D  :D

Oldguy, I loved the DART asteroid video! Great explanations!! I sure do wonder what force is making those rocks land back on the moon though, after they flew off after the hit.  Can't figure that one out. I really liked hearing about the actual make-up of those two bodies - not solid rock after all! Thanks for posting that! Hope your weekend won't be a total washout.  :)

TSK, have fun at the Mini Golf "Brothers and Spouses" tournament!  I hope you and Tim win!!   :D  I know it's your brothers, but still I was surprised Tom and Barb wouldn't join in - especially since it's a mini course this year. Hope lunch is yummy and fun, too!  :D

Karen, I hope your sore arm is better after today!  :) Hi to Piper!  :-*

E4E, it sounds like you and Hubby are doing a lot of the same things today that I ran around and did yesterday! Have a funb Friday being out and about!  :)

Tig, enjoy your brunch!  :)

Waving to All the Beakers! Have a great Friday!  :D

Knowing that no one here subscribes and can't therefore open/access the link etc. I searched the Internet for an accessible link---I always check out the links before posting to make sure they work---running the links by Jim, Dan and Eddie/Aggie all who use different security , firewalls and Internet settings than I do.  None had issues.  :-\
Sounds like a nice day planned and lunch too.   :)

KB  sweet fox kit; too bad Andrew is unavailable this week Perhaps next  week for sure.

Bazi then I guess 'it' won't be 'right' LOL

Karen Publix has been doing vaccines for mucho many moons---Jim's been working for them for the past 12 yrs. and have gotten our vaccs there. And, I've been shopping there for nigh onto 23 yrs.  And, yes they do require appointments to be made online. Employees can 'walk-in' w/o waiting.   Wishing you the best on your after vax symptoms .

Lani the Nat Geo article features a photo of a Blue ribbon winning cabbage at 138 lbs  and the six people who grew it in 2012. The pumpkin featured in the cover was 902 lbs. Can they possible be 'tasty'?    Anyway their photos and articles are all copyr ight protected. So can't cut and past or copy image addresss. Who can blame them.   
Tks for Bear STudy on RC and her cub-appreciate the genealogy on them-enjoyed the snaps of Sharp-shinned hawk juv. and Bluejay too.
Oh that kitty is really groov'n with the music.  ;D

TSK... no, he is just really tall. LOL. Just kidding. Yes, he has a DJI P4 Pro, new in 2017.  :D. It was working very hard to stay stable in the wind above the mountain. Luckily, my set of eyes kept him away from a drone eating tree by the cabin... whose height he had misjudged. There is an object avoidance system but it is not as sensitive near the top of a tree with leaves.
Congrats on your hole in one!

Lani I missed the post about UQ Tks for sharing Lady Hawk's photo and narrative. UQ looks good-real good. I am fascinated  by the way UQ surveys his surroundings . A smooth side to side sweep. Much like a radar scan.  Supplemental feedings  ;)

Lisa LOL 'Autumn mood'.  ;D  Have you seen the Autumn colored M & Ms. ? The next place I'll check is Wal-Mart.


Lori ' Happy Nat'l Hobbit Day to you , too!   ;) Cute video of the rescue puppies     thanks for  your local weather update I sure hope you're right about being in
                 the   "Clear'.  Take care.

I drove down to Lowe's and got two replacements for the wicker planter on the front porch.
Then we went to Publix and each got our RSV and Influenza vaccines. Jim's concern about the new CoVid booster as in some folks it can cause some major heart issues.  He already has the AFib and CHF twice. All I've read is this one is risky. Neither of us is keen on this one. I said,  He just needs to T/T his PCP and express his concerns.
If his ankle isn't much better by Monday I suggested he see his doc on that one too.

Kb, UQ hasn't been seen for two hours, they keep searching the hills. My last pic of him was at 4:48 pm their time. I snipped it as he was going to the left of the cam. And then they lost him. Never saw him again.  :(. ... it's so strange not seeing him sitting at his favorite spot staring out to sea.

Royal Albatross ~ UQ Beautiful Closeups!! Wet & Very Cute! 🐦 ♥ 9.22.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVL2pXQppPU

Sep 22, 2023
UQ wakes up and does a lot of preening of his feathers & stands up and shakes out his wings with the raindrops. Enjoy some beautiful closeup coverage of UQ looking wet but oh so cute as he sits on his comfy place in the grass & shakes the raindrops off his feathers & does a paddle scratch 🙂💕 It was a calm day with no wind so no hovering or flight practice for the chicks. UQ seemed to be content to hang out in his spot just below the hill 🙂 💚 Thank you for watching!

Good night! I'd like to think UQ is one of the albies soaring the skies with his friends  :-*

Good Caturday Beakers

While Lori had some excitement this past evening with tornadoes and heavy rain/flooding (hope she came through it unscathed) I managed nothing but .06 from 2 very small showers in the morning.  More chance for rain Sat evening into Sun morning (.5)

Phyl - Pretty Autumn pic. Hope you and Jim's arm start to feel better today.  Hmmm, I don't think I have seen any Autumn M&M's in any of the stores that I have been to.

oldguy - Thanks for letting us know how Lori's area.  Glad you didn't get what she got.  Lori check in please!  Thanks for videos!

Lani - Waiting for your next update on UQ.

Lori - Oops, I see you did check in about the weather.  Hope you and Destini are safe. 

tsk - Sounds like a fun day for you.  We did grocery shopping on this side of the bridge, so we didn't have to go over.  We were in and out of grocery in less than an hour.

WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN AND IT'S CATURDAY

LORI   Very cute "hobbit houses"  ;D  Yikes - All the attn. on the east coast and you're in the basement!!  But I see "all clear."

PHYL  What's wrong with Jim's ankle - I missed something?  Good that he will speak to doc before that booster...

LANI   So is it good bye to UQ?  He snuck away on his own without a lot of cheering ?

OLDGUY   Only one remaining Moody Blues - one of my all time favs.  Will catch Who's the boss later - gotta run soon.

Good Morning Beakers! It's CATURDAY again!

Phyl, oh those kitty shames! Harley got me yesterday, Ed and Kelsey were gone and I hadn't seen him for a few hours. So I started the search. The main level, the deck. Upstairs, checking all the rooms and closets. Down to the basement. No Harley. Repeat the whole search again and when I come up from the basement, he is sitting on the table like King of the Hill. That is why they call him Turdbutt.  ;D ;D  Good idea to have Jim check with his Dr. on getting the new Covid vaccine.  Love the Cormorant silhouette at Stony Point! And love the covered bridge! Autumn is always just so beautiful!

oldguy, thanks for all the good Moody Blues music, they are one of my favorites. Saw them here in Des Moines in 1997, right after I moved to Iowa. I can still hear it... You were pretty close to the storm last evening, I am surprised you got so little!  Supposed to start raining here around 1:00 and continue way into the night. We shall see.

Lani, do you think UQ has fledged? Of course it's dark there right now but I don't see anything that looks like a head... Maybe we will see him soaring around the area later today.

tig, beautiful fall pics by Camper!

Lori, so relieved to hear you and Destini are safe once again! Love all the Hobbit habitats!

tsk, great story of Grandpa and how he got a second piece of pie! My Grandma was a wonderful cook (weren't they all good cooks back in the day...). I do remember one time there was one spot in her custard pie where the crust was thicker than the custard! It had bubbled up, I think. They all got a good laugh over that, and they ate every bit of it! I remember that scene so well, all of us (Dad was on summer leave) my two Aunts and one Uncle plus Grandma and Grandpa around the table full of good food. No running water yet, there was a pump by the kitchen sink, and a pump outside. All water from the well. Oops, off on a tangent...

kb, thanks for the article on oak trees! We have a BIG oak tree to the right of our driveway, it shades my car in the summer. It is having a huge amount of acorns this year, and much bigger acorns than usual! Now I know it's an unexplained normal thing! I have noticed way fewer squirrels this summer, sometimes I don't see any all day. About five years ago Ed caught 12  (live trap) on one weekend (relocated them to the nature preserve).

Lisa, glad you didn't have to do the bridge! I try not to go to Sams, Costco or Walmart on the weekends, and I have no bridge to cross! We had a 10 car pileup on I-80 about a mile from our house, that was the excitement that I stayed away from!

Good morning Beakers and Happy Caturday!
Nice cool morning today but temperatures will be in the low 90 s for a few days with clear sunny skies and no rain!
I hope Bazi and Zippo stayed safe and dry when the ts/hurricane made landfall in N.C. . Hopefully there is no power lost in either the Guys or the Bazi homes!
Lori, sure hope that when you and Destiny  crept out of the basement you found your property undamaged!  Let us hear from you!
Lovely Fall pictures again!
Bl have you landed in AK?
Lani, m15 s  new lady is thought to be very young!  If that is the case he will be a good one to teach her!  If she doesnt behave hey can can kick hrt i. The side, ala Harriet!

Lani - Thank you for Bearstudy  We still had a lot of smoke in our area yesterday - today should be much better - fingers crossed! :)  Love UQ pic  ;D  We had a nice afternoon (yesterday) running errands and taking care of business - great to be retired and do these things during the week! ;D

Bazi - You put a 'dent' in some of the treats you bought for the weekend Lol - nothing wrong with that!  ;D

Tig - Your new sidewalk is beautiful!! Love all the pics - is that you sitting out front at the cabin? 8)

Kb and Beakers, yes, I think UQ has fledged or he is out of sight and below the hill. When UQ moved to the left off cam's vision the cam operator moved too quickly to the left thinking he would hover. Well, he didn't he probably went down the hill. I haven't seen him or his white top. You could always see the white of his head in the dark on his 2nd nest. This is the latest lady Hawk video of him. There is not chat room and they don't allow comments on their youtube channel. I went to their facebook page and asked a question. 


Royal Albatross ~ Time To Ring Those Bells! First Albies Are Back! UQ Skycalls A Parent!   :-*  9.23.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrtWSAV4t1k&t=11s

Sep 22, 2023
We have only 9 chicks left on the headland - 24 have fledged so far! And it is time to ring those bells! The first returning albatross have arrived back to the colony (GBK a 20 year old male and YGK a 30 year old female).  Ranger Sharyn has said "Both GBK and YKG have been away from the headland and waters around New Zealand since January 2023. Feeding in the waters around South America during the winter gets the toroa in condition for the next breeding season at Pukekura.

YKG last fledged a chick in 2020 but her mate has not been seen since 2021. GBK is also a bereaved toroa and last fledged a chick in 2017. It is hoped that since they are both looking for a new mate that they may pair up. Egg laying is in November so we should know in a couple of months whether they will breed for the 2023/23 season or not.

To celebrate these new seasons arrivals the Royal Albatross Centre will organize bells to ring on Monday 25th September at 1 pm. The celebration of bell ringing is a great reminder for people to take care of the ocean where the toroa spend over 85% of their lives."

 For those in the USA it will take place on Sunday Sept 24th 6:00PM PST/ 9:00PM EST and Hawaii time 3:00PM.

UQ is 235 days old today and he continues to do his wing exercises showing off those incredible 3 meter (10 feet long) wingspan. Simply gorgeous! He then heads down the track and comes back as a ranger takes a chick head count to see who has fledged and who is still here. UQ does more hops, flaps and paddle walking before he stops to gaze out over the ocean imprinting his home upon his heart. We are going to miss UQ when he gets ready to leave soon. Thank you for watching!

Kb, I just received a facebook reply from a poster on the The Royal Albatross Center fb website. She sent me 3 posts, here is the last two. When you and I saw him go to the left that was the last anyone saw him too. We'll need to wait and hear from the rangers. I'm sure they will post something today.

Stacy L wrote: I just watched again, walked off cam at 14:50, cam didn’t move to the left until 14:53, so no idea where he went. Hopefully he just went down the slope near his nest to sleep. I can’t imagine that he fledged, there was barely any wind. Sharyn, the ranger, said it’s unlikely for them to fledge under 5 knots.

Thought Nature 365 was somewhat pertinent today considering some of the conversation of late.  ;) ;
https://www.nature365.tv/video/2023-09-23-hornet

OLDGUY   "Your car is the Boss" - good one and so true.

KB   With those go-pro cams it doesn't look like the eagle is flapping its wings.  I know sometimes they soar....I can't ever remember a time when there weren't a lot of squirrels due to acorn scarcity.  LOLOL

CLYNN  We call those actions " magic cat"  ;D  Turdbutt is a good one tho  ;) ;)    Loved your remembrance story.  I remember the days at Grandma and Grandpa's cabin where we had to use an outhouse!! and the pump.  Then the magic happened and they built a bathroom add on and running water.  Were we kids happy  ;D    It will be exciting at SWFL with the upgrades.

EAGLES  One of the top 5 benefits of being retired - Getting business done during weekdays  ;D

BL  thought you were headed to AK?

LANI  thanks for that 9-22 Albie report of the returnees.    So UQ has not yet fledged I see.  Beautiful phot of UQ in all his glory

E4E - Cute Happy Fall greeting. 

karen - Still have power here...fingers crossed we do not lose it. 

clynn - I think I would have stayed away from that 10 car pile up too!  Yay, SWFL is getting ready for another season!

kb - Happy Saturday!

Lani - Thanks for the latest Royal update!

Lisa, good to see you post!  Hope the storm has lssend by the time it gets to your area?  From the looks of the .duke Power map I am guessing Baz may be ithout poer.  Think the storm made landfall very close to her!  Take care!

Hi Beakers!

Finally found a Royal Albatross discussion website with the Ranger Mod who handles the webcam that we watch, and I was able to find a few answers.

The cam is on UQ's favorite hilly spot, down the slope is two chicks.
They think it's UQ and the neighbor chick that would visit UQ from the right side of the hill.

There are three cams facing this area. The Port Harbor cam takes photos from a higher location, and they captured this photo of the two chicks down the slope.

(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e2be8ad1b295a5b3cef1da9f93b7eeb4b52229f22b118ccf3c058103bfa1dc0b.jpg)

(https://www.portotago.co.nz/assets/Webcams/Taiaroa-cam/taiaroa_24-09-2023_09-30am.jpg)

The photo below is taken from the opposite direction or seaview. You can see the white heads of the chicks. UQ has got to be the one closer to the top of the hill where he usually sits.
That is why the webcam is focusing on that part of the hill.

The black arrow is the webcam, the signal station camera is inside the green building to the left.

This is headland where the Royal Albatross nests

Karen - I hope baz is ok.  My weather girl just kept saying storm made landfall in NC, but she never said where in NC. 

Phyl - Those were some good Nature 365’s, thanks.

Lani - Thanks so much for all the info and pics on the Royal cam! 

BL - Wow, what a great trip you and Pip are going on….enjoy!

Still windy and raining here, but so far it hasn’t been too bad. 

See you all in the morning!

Lisa, I think it went in near Baz. Bl don't you have the map with beaker locations on it?  I think the internet shows it going in at tge southern end of the state.  I am almost sure she is with out power!  Hopefully not the case.

Every place has its good and bad weather and we are having some lovely days! Warmbut really nice with a breeze!   Now to conqure the mosquitos!

Lani thanks for the research on the Royals

LISA  Saw that map - You should have gotten a lot of rain.  Glad you are still here - Maps don't always show the true picture of things

T40   Funny cats are always funny  ;D   Scaredy cats   ;D ;D

BAZI  Think you also are in the middle of that storm.  Hope you are OK

LANI   Wow  thanks for all that detective work and all the new angles of observation.  That is quite a windy city webcam. :o Didn't know where to look first.

BL   Somehow I imaging you driving this???  Until LANI posted I didn't connect Brooks Lodge with Brooks Falls - WOW  Bet you had to make that reservation WAY ahead??

Lisa we feel great f rom our vaxes--just the arms are 'tender'. Me more than Jim. Glad you , Jeff and 'the kitties' are safe despite the wind and rain. Keep us posted.

CLynn ROTFL Harley  :-*;  sure like the kitty mug full of coffee. Been buying  Eight 0'clock coffee as it was a BOGO and never tried it.  Blah! Well have two bags of the stuff left in garage freezer . Can't wait for Publix brand to go back on BOGO.  ;) Starbucks is just too high even on BOGO.  Gosh! some pileup on the  Des Moines parkway  :
Tks for the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam update ---cherry pickers sure do come in handy. Here's to a fertile Season 12.  ;)

Lori and Bazi hope you gals and your fur /feather babies are well/safe. Let us know how you're doing.

E4E cute 'scarecrow' this AM

Lani luv the Lion Brothers this AM; tks for the Royal update, a lot to digest; like the 'bell ringing' ceremony and motivation; hopefully the knots are 20 and UQ can fledge if it's his time.  Ahhhh no 'baby fuzz' on UQ---looks all g rown up.

T40 tks for the links---LOL yawning is catching even in cats; LOL scaredy cats; That bobcat jump is truly a mind blower! Watched it over and over. I've read about the  Geoffroy's Cat of So AMerica enjoyed the link.

BL  Wow! I'd love to see Alaska again! What a nice adventure you have in store.  Relieved you're not driving the Alaskan Highway  ;)

When Jim was flying for Doane Pet Care Inc (they mfg private label cat/dog food---notably Walmart and others) we took the company jet to  AK to meet our company pres. and his family for a pick up in Juneau as they were taking a cruise with a potential  customer. The boss told us to arrive a week early and make a vaca of it. Landed at Sitka and spent the night ( it was 4AM when we finally went to bed after  hangering the old girl. It was dusk as if we were still in Missouri. Blackout curtains and all. We saw everything Denali, Juneau of course, and mosied up to Anchorage and stood on the coast and waved to Russia! LOL
 Had 'Duck Farts' at the Red Dog Saloon.   Took an Orca cruse . It was fantastic!--seals sunning on buoys and those awesome whales swimming along side our boat. One was so very close I reached out and let my left hand glide upon it skin until it went under. Back up it came and close still to  me --it seemed to 'nod'  and I reach out and did the same. It stayed until it had to go back under. Then jump stories high in the air and splashed. Off it went. I'll never,  never forget that encounter!

It was the other stuff 'up the road' that sparked my interest in this outing as is my nature.

So close the 1st time. 23 miles away. 

My Broken Lug's have walked across some unique places on this Blue Marble so why not add another one.  :)

HAPPY CATURDAY BEAKERS!  :)

Lani, I'm so glad to know UQ is A-OK, AND got a supplementary feeding! :-*

Clynn, Lori, and all in the path of the midwest severe storms, I hope you are all safe!

Clynn, I'm glad Turdbutt showed up!  ::) ;) :-*  Keebler showed up in one of my dreams last night!! He was not a Turdbutt though.  :D

Tsk, "Magic cat," LOL! That's perfect! I may use that... if I can remember it!  ;) :D  Etta does that - just like Clynn's Harley.  :D

Zippo and I are just fine.  :) We had lots of wind and rain - We had lots of gusts in the 40-to-mid-50 mph range last night and till after daylight today, but most of the sustained winds around me were mid-20-mid-30s mph. Had some tree branches down, but not a lot - the ground was pretty well covered green with leaf salad, LOL. No damage to home or car. I never drove anywhere today, so just did a walk-around my building and the pond. I never lost power! Pretty amazing, that!! The storm made landfall at 6:15 am this morning, eastern time, as a 70-mph high-end Tropical Storm (4 mph less than a Cat 1 hurricane rating), at Emerald Isle, NC (a barrier island near Moreheard City). It's about a 2-hr drive northeast of me, or so (no such thing as driving straight from here to there - barrier islands and waterways mean lots of round and round driving, LOL). Where it came ashore (Emerald Isle) is also about a 5-minute drive from the beach house of some friends where my sister, my LGN, Baby Bro, and parents, were all visiting recently, and I posted a few pics of them at that beach home a few days ago here in Forum. Their house is actually on the sound side, on the waterfront, on the same barrier island as Emerald Isle. My sister drove home from there Thursday night, since the storm was to approach there Friday. My LGN, Baby Bro, and their parents, drove back home to Virginia/DC area on Wednesday. They are getting blasted with lots of rain there at their VA/DC area home today from the same storm. I just texted with my niece (LGN's mom) there, and she said they were trying to keep everyone (LGN and Baby Bro) busy during all the rainy weather and not go crazy. LOL. All is fine here, and with my family. Thanks to all who were asking.  :-*

Phyl, I hope you and Jim's arm feels much better this evening... I love the cat with the "Will you marry my dad?" sign... it was a lovely first day of Autumn I made a pot roast for Mike tonight.

Kb, How interesting about the Oak trees and squirrels, we've been through our oak trees mast 4 weeks ago. What a mess our driveways and streets have been.... Beautiful eagle eye views.... it's good to know UQ has friends nearby.

Clynn "Turdbutt Harley"  ;D... oh my that ten car pile up  :o I hope no one was seriously injured.... Thanks for news that SWFL cam will be up soon, thanks for pic!

Eagles I hope there wasn't smoke in your area today.

Tsk, thanks for nature video. It's been awhile, and I can relate to this one. Our bait traps are continuing to catch bees every day.  ???

T40, thanks for videos... Pumba was not happy to see anyone! ... fun Cat videos.. I hope the poor kitten that fell down the stairs was okay.

Good night!

BAZI   Yay - all OK  " lawn covered with leaf salad" I like that  :D  Thanks for your storm report.  Family exited the area in the nick of time. Good news that all family are OK  ;)    Thanks for enlightening us to BL's trip - a real adventure to say the least.

tsk, got the huge supply of milkweed seeds, thank you! Ed is working on getting the ground ready to throw the seeds out. I  will hopefully have a nice patch of milkweed next year!

Phyl, nice to see the Nature 365! That's a good view of just a few of the 10,000 lakes in MN!

Lani, soon the bees will be all gone... Thanks for the update on UQ, yes, those rangers (?) do watch the young albys very carefully, you can tell they love working with them! I bet you recognize the bear in in the water in your good night picture...  ;D

BL, you're heading for another great adventure!

baz, so glad to hear that you and Zippo and your family are all safe! Did you eat all your snacks?  ;D

T40, thanks for the great videos! Cats are amazing...and funny!

karen - I hope you can conquer those pesky mosquitoes. 

tsk - I agree, the map don't always show a true pic.  The yard is still getting a nice gentle rain this morning, again. 

Phyl - Glad to hear that you all are feeling great from the vaccines, hope your arms are less tender this morning.  Thanks for the Nat 365 vid. 

E4E - All good here.  :D

Lani - That is good new about UQ!  Thanks for much for keeping us updated.  Beautiful dinner at sunset pic!

BrokenLug- Well, how cool is that that you got to see Otis, and see him fishing!  Looking forward to seeing your pics when you return.

baz - Glad to hear that you and Zippo made out ok with the storm.  Hope Punkin and Lil Bro's family made out ok, too.  I see this morning that Bradley, and their area still have lots of rain from the storm.  Yes, thank goodness for storm snacks!   ;D

tsk - Pretty morning greeting.

kb - Love the sleeping whale pic. 

clynn and all - Morning  :)

CLYNN   What a thoughtful piece by Lameris .  So true

LISA  Sounds like all are intact with some nice rain in your area  ;)

Out to cut down some spent perennials.  Yesterday the cukes and tomatoes got pulled - I saved the large green tomatoes and will again try some "fried green tomatoes" as well as let them ripen and get frozen for soups etc.  Also found a dozen or so almost ripe

tsk - it stopped raining early this morning.

I already blew the leaves off my deck in back to the grass...emptied out an entire full battery of my battery powered blower....There are two seasonal times a year I wish I could start my gas powered back pack Stihl blower...so much more power to blow leaves into a pile and then in the spring as well to fluff up the gunk. It works, it's just a two person job to start it..never did try to clamp it to my deck rails to start. there she sits lonely inside Scott's shop ;)

Rain incoming tonight, all day tomorrow... ;) and yes, I will TRY to enjoy the game...so far Vikes 0-2....no wins.

Royal Albatross ~ Say Hello To Beautiful Miss YD21 ♥ She Is Checking Out The Cam! 9.24.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4S6eNZzQqo

Sep 23, 2023
UQ is still here as of today (Sept 24th) He was seen half way down the hill this morning and received a supplementary feeding by the rangers. He will probably fledge from below the hill when he is ready!! ♥

In the meantime, we have a visit from one of the neighboring chicks - YD21. She is seen at the cam doing some gardening, She is so cute - and still has  bit of down on her neckline. YD21 stands for (Yellow for the female, D for the designation of this season's chicks 2023, and her number 21). I don't know which nest she is from but she may be the chick from Signal Station Flat on the hill. Thank you for watching!

Tsk, I have at least 20 green heirloom tomatoes on the vines...good idea about saving the tomatoes for soups... enjoy your fried green tomatoes. The last time I had delicious green tomatoes was with my MIL. 

Lisa, I hope all is well with sweet Sydney and your fur babies.  ;D

Clynn, beautiful pic of Iris on her fish pole!  :-* ... small kindnesses  :-*

Kb, stunning pic of mother whale/her calf ... YAY! fall has arrived in your area! I love the smell of wet leaves.... talons crossed for the Vikings!  :)

Phyl, I do not use honey in the bee bait. I followed the DIY instructions that was posted here, sugar/water, also a Rescue wasp trap, and I've caught hornets/wasps not honey bees or bumblebees. We want to remove the bees from the siding on our home before winter. Our pest control man coming in a couple of weeks to make sure they are taken care of. Then we'll remove the siding and make sure the nest is destroyed/ remove it and close it up. Repaint the area.... thank you for nature video, beautiful views.

Do you have Carpenter Bees? !?
They are pollinators, too. But, not as vital to the life of the planet and it's food sources
In view of that---can certainly understand. Didn't realize they were living in the wood frame of your house.

kb - Good luck to your Vikes today!

Lani - Thanks so much for the TRR and Royal updates!  Awww, YD21 is adorable.  Checked on Sydney earlier, and she was getting a diaper change, and M&B are good.  Thanks for asking.  :)

I know that. I know what they look like. Tks.

 But...You mention 'bees'  underneath your house's siding and that some get in the hornet trap. But you say these aren't honey or bumble bees.

Howdy Beakers!   :)

Boy, it sure took me a long time to get here, and I can't stay long, so this will be a quick pass. I sure did enjoy all the wonderful posts all the Beakers made today!  :)

Lisa, glad you're not "under water" tho' getting plenty of rain.. and that your son and DIL are okay, too. Yep, my niece and her family (LGN and Baby Bro) are also fine, though the same lot of rain has been falling at their house in the VA/DC area. Snacks are good.  ;)

Clynn, (((IRIS)))  :-* :-* :-* Most of my snacks are gone, LOL,  but not all of them... yet!  ;)  I'm getting ready to finish off the Stilton and the Malbec in just a few minutes!  ;D

Lani, thanks for the posts on the RA updates.   :-* :-*  I love their bell-ringing tradition! I saw "60 Minutes" is doing that segment tonight on sloths! It's starting on TV right now where I am - late start because of the football game finishing up late before "60 Minutes." But I'm posting this and then sitting down to watch it now!  :D I completely understand that when you say "bees," that you are referring to your hornets, or sometimes wasps, and not actually talking specifically about honey bees or bumblebees (or carpenter bees).  :)  That's going to be a project, for sure, getting things fixed back up after the nest is gone, but I know you wil be so glad when it's all done!  :)


This afternoon, I did a little looking at the National Hurricane Center info, and used maps info, to find that the center of Tropical Storm Ophelia apparently made landfall just about 11 miles down, on the very same barrier island, from where my sister, and her daughter and SIL, and their LGN and Baby Bro, were sitting and walking by the Atlantic Ocean, a few days before the storm hit. They were staying at a friend's home on that same barrier island, on the sound side. That house is less than a mile from the beach side. My LGN and her Baby Bro and their parents left and drove home on Wednesday, before the Saturday early morning (6:15am) Ophelia landfall. And my sister left there to go home on Thursday night, before the storm started moving into the area the next morning, on Friday. Actual official landfall of the center of Ophelia was on Saturday morning, about 6:15am.

Gotta run!  I want to watch "60 Minutes" and their sloths segment!!  Have a great evening, Beakers!  :)

Had a wonderful day  and with the exception of tomorrow which will be 91, all looks good!  Monday will be my last day in shorts!

Thanks for all the pictures of Fall and flowers, etc!  Glad to read the Royal reports!
Do they stay in the air and afloat on the ocean  all the way to SA or are there islands where they can land?  Sounds worse than the treks in covered wagons!

Think my hummers are gone but I will make a fresh batch of food and keep the feeders up until November.  Want to feed travelers who are late and in need of a bite to eat!

It appears the UQ (Upper Quarry) chick has fledged this morning. :-* There are some good breezes today and he was supplementary fed yesterday. He is now 237 days old and has been looking in good condition for fledging.

There are still 9 chicks as we (DOC rangers) picked up another one from the Aramoana Salt Marsh over the weekend.

Good Evening Beakers

Got up to 80 today - rain went around us - had .02 sat. evening - a heavy dew will sometimes give us .01 - Tonight (just about sundown) there was a line of storms 50 miles to the east - watched as it built up some massive clouds and then lots of lighting - we had clear skies - the storm moved to the NE.  Another day of 80 tomorrow and then 3 days of low 70s.  Latest drought map has us listed as severe drought here - we need lots of days of half inch rains.

We had the football game on too....  I'm so glad you watched 60 minutes too! I got a little teary watching. Kudos to Lucy Cook and TRR for the research, care and rehabilitation of the Sloths. TRR has never shown the electrical burns these beautiful creatures suffer with and how they are treated online. To see them tending to their injuries was so heartbreaking. Thanks to 60 minutes for helping the world become aware of these beautiful endangered creatures.  :-* ....

SED Karen and Piper  I keep my feeders up year round. Critters are always coming or going through Arizona.  ;D

Eagles, You can see why I love the sloths. And the Toucan was Annabelle!  ;D ... sorry about the smoke, we had a bit of a smoky breeze when the wind shifted late this afternoon. The closest fire is about 75% contained. Take care.

Oldguy, thanks for links

Good night!

HI EVERYONE

LISA  Thanks - I thought it might go something like that.

LANI   Nice piece on sloths and TRR  Very cool that we already know something about that topic  ;D   What I learned was the facial features of the two different kinds of sloths.  Like the smiling one  LOL   Godspeed UQ  :-*

BAZI   thanks for those precious pics the kids will have to look at in later years.  Growing so fast now.  Love the one with Sis and niece and Punkin.  :)

EAGLES  That mattrress was for Tim - He's loving it..

OLDGUY  Cute piece on the jays and filberts  :)   Those are some really spoiled cats  TT and Lulu.  Wonder how many assistants Claire has on these trips

KB   That puli has a big job herding that guy  :o :o

PHYL   Like the fall arrangement.  Doesn't look too hard to do

baz - Great pics from the beach trip that the Greats went on.  I am glad that you are safe from the storm, too!

karen - I should have added that to my post to tsk, yes I flip once, probably several times to get that crispy crust on the fried green tomatoes.

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update.  Aww, UQ has fledged, happy but sad, too. My ex-MIL used a mixture of white & yellow cornmeal with a bit of cornstarch added in for extra crunch when frying things. 

E4E - I fill up for Jeff, cause he claims he doesn't know how to use the Safeway gas rewards at the pump.   ::) 

kb - Yep, looks brave to me too!

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

Phyl - Saving the Asparagus, olives & sundried tomatoes loaf recipe.  Looks so yummy. Thanks for Nat 365.

kb, that fierce little dog has dreadlocks!

Lani, sweet beagle sleeping with his beagle buddy...  So UQ has fledged! Wish there was a video! And still several chicks remaining but no cams I would guess. The sloth segment on 60 minutes was very interesting, I hate that climate change is affecting them...

If anyone wanted to see the sloth segment and missed it, here is a link:  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sloths-survival-worlds-slowest-mammal-60-minutes-transcript/

Phyl, lovely  apple bouquet! Very interesting Nature 365, haunting video. I guess the Big Daddy moose scared the interloper away?  The bread is pretty, I'm just not an olive eater...

Lisa, there are so many beautiful Autumn good morning pictures! Jeff's excuse for getting you to fill up his car sounds a bit like my 'I don't know how to turn the gas grill on' excuse. Ed does manage to use the Sam's card to get gas, but I think that is because we have a Sam's credit card, so you only have to use the one card at the pump.

tsk, it's amazing how Claire is evolving, remember when she never showed her face and all went on in her apartment? Now she is in full view, has moved and travels. She is making good money on her youtube videos! So Tim, is sleeping well on the new mattress, a good thing...

oldguy, love the Lesley video, love the Blue Jays. I keep peanuts on hand for them all year, love the way they snatch and run!

baz, great pics of the family, hard to believe how the kids are growing!

Lori, beautiful Fall pics, and yummy cinnamon rolls with the Kitty coffee!

Clynn - all Puli's have natural occurring dreds..
Their ancestors are from the Hungarian vast plains and one of the best herders. This corded coat helps them survive the brutal winters and they are fearless little dogs..
They almost always are on the dog breeding competition shows.

Just googling, here is just one article of many from the american kennel club.
https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/puli/

Just finished putting my pork butt in the slow cooker for some carnitas later...haven't made it in awhile so had to do some substitutions...we shall see...just garlic powder over real garlic cloves and frozen orange juice over fresh squeezed..shouldn't make a real difference
 
But, but the butcher convinced me to try chipotle adobe jalapenos in a can over fresh jalapeno so that should be interesting. ;)

I hate to see the boulevard across the street all marked up and a few other streets with trucks and diggers and what looks like fiber optic line.....AT and T did that a few years back on my side and cut a hole in my gas line requiring the 12 hours of -re digging up my own line.....they thread line through our gas lines without cameras....idiots.
Hopefully they won't make any mistakes this time.
BTW as a result I lost my city tree in front of my gardens and 2 of my 3 goatsbeard got fried without the dappled shade....argg.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on September 25, 2023, 09:40:16 AM

LOL so within 15 minutes of the working a block away they cut a gas line....or remote possibility found one.
When I went out to take Ollie for a walk we saw our firetruck headed in the opposite direction as us down the street.
Sure enough, when I return towards home, centerpoint and people are all watching the issue....
This is AT and T who this time subcontracted with EPS to run the line.
Geesh.
They outsource our public utilities (gas lines ) to private companies usage.

Royal Albatross ~ UQ HAS FLEDGED! 💗 Safe Travels To The Last Of The Fab Four Chicks! 9.25.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-_ZTucKLJs

Sep 24, 2023
UQ has fledged! 💕🐥 He sure picked a special day to take flight with the ringing of the bells today on Sept 25th! Godspeed UQ - the last of the fab four chicks to take flight! Enjoy some of the last coverage I got of UQ before he went down the hill and out of cam view on Sept 23rd. 

From Ranger Sharyn: "UQ (Upper Quarry) chick has fledged this morning! There are some good breezes today and he was supplementary fed yesterday. He is now 237 days old and has been looking in good condition for fledging. There are still 9 chicks as we (DOC rangers) picked up one from the Aramoana Salt Marsh over the weekend. This chick took the long way back around the harbour to the headland but was safely picked up!
The cam will stay in this location until after egg laying in November. We may see new arrivals coming to this location over the next several weeks." Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

I took quite a few pics of UQ on his last day on the cam. I took more pics of him than I did of Manaaki  ;D  I'm happy Lady Hawk made a video of his last day too!  :-*

UQ his last day on the cam 9-23-2023  9:04 am  :-* My favorite pics are those of him looking out towards the Otago Harbor waters on the right is the South Pacific Ocean.

Sept 9th morning.
It's the weekend, time to catch up with the neighbor...or maybe not.

This afternoon, I did a little looking at the National Hurricane Center info, and used maps info, to find that the center of Tropical Storm Ophelia apparently made landfall just about 11 miles down, on the very same barrier island, from where my sister, and her daughter and SIL, and their LGN and Baby Bro, were sitting and walking by the Atlantic Ocean, in the attached beach pictures, a few days before the storm hit. They were staying at a friend's home on that same barrier island, on the sound side. That house is less than a mile from the beach side pictures below. My LGN and her Baby Bro and their parents left and drove home on Wednesday, before the Saturday early morning (6:15am) Ophelia landfall. And my sister left there to go home on Thursday night, before the storm started moving into the area the next morning, on Friday. Actual official landfall of the center of Ophelia was on Saturday morning, about 6:15am.

Baz I think you dodged a little bullet from TS Ophelia.
It was heading right for you when it made a "last minute" jog due North and made land fall on Emerald Isle, NC.
Good smart call that all of your family bugged out from that barrier island in advance.   8)

Here are some images of what the NHC calls the "Preliminary Best Track".
Sometimes on post data analysis they tweak some things and it then becomes the "Final Best Track".
Pink circles are Tropical Storm force winds (39 mph - 73 mph).
She made landfall as a 70 mph TS just shy of a Cat 1.

Lani, I really enjoyed the sloth segment on "60 Minutes" last night!! I was so taken with Lucy Cook, the researcher! I would like to read her new book, titled, really!, "Bitch." LOL! I enjoyed hearing her talk about that book describing the results of studies and research about the female side of much of the animal kingdom, which has infortunately too often, in the past, been very mis-represented as being "less than," so to speak. She gave a couple of examples in the show last night, and I was loving listening to what she said. Very interesting!! I saw that clip they showed, too, of her apparently giving a TED Talk (I'm just guessing that's what it was), so I might have to look up her TED Talk video, if she's given one, to watch it sometime. I really loved seeing their video footage and info about Leslie and the TRR!!!  :) :-* GREAT info given about the TRR organization and their caregivers and vet and medical care partners!  :-* :-* The sloths were all so cute, too, and I loved seeing them do that one sloth release, too.  :-*  I also saw Annabelle, the Toucan! Wonderful segment! It will be available to view online in a few more days, I'm sure, for those who missed it. Wonderful segment!

BL, yep, you are right - TS Ophelia was (surprisingly to the forecasters, I think, LOL) heading scrait for me there for a second or more, LOL! till it made that last second dodge in its track to the NE, and then towards the Crystal Coast (landing at Emerald Isle). It is 59 miles, as the Albatross flies, from my abode to where TS Ophelia made landfall. I was watching ever so closely the whole time. I pay attention to those details!  ;) Yesterday, I looked to see if they had any final analysis, or even prelim final analysis (LOL) on the exact landing location, time, and intensitiy, but it isn't available yet, so I had to do a slight interpolation on the landing location since they had only posted the GPS coordinates as of 5 minutes after the landing, and I knew it's direction and speed of forward movement... though it didn't make really much difference in interpreting the distance of its landfall location from our friend's home on the same island, which I calculated to be about 11 miles. And based on other info from meterologists there at the time, I am fairly sure the northeast eyewall likely went right over our friend's home there. I always enjoy seeing the final reports when they become available, because, as you know, some storms' intensitiy evaluation get updated after-the-fact, and TS Ophelia just may get upgraded to a Cat 1 Hurricane when all is done, because its central pressure was continuing to lower after the 5am full update, and before it's 6:15 am-ish landfall, so it's possible it had gained another 4 mph intensity, that would have ended up classifying it as a Cat 1 Hurricane at landfall. Or maybe not.  ;D

BAZI   Lucy Cook was such a genuine person who LOVES what she does.  I thoroughly enjoyed her.

LISA  I plan now to review recipes and try making some this afternoon.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

Clynn, thanks for finding and posting that link to watch that "60 Minutes" segment on the sloths from last night's show. It was really good. How is your left wrist coming along? Boy I sure have seen a lot of reports about some dicey weather in places in the midwest the last few days. I saw a video from a few days ago - maybe Thursday? not sure... - of some heavy hail in your parts. Did you get any at your house? Hope no new dents in the car! Did your hatchback issue fix really fix the issue? Hope so!

Lisa, I love fried green tomatoes, but it was a fail when I tried to make them at home. LOL. I might use your recipe and try again.  :D

KB, your slow-cooking pork butt and carnitas plan is making me hungry!! I think the can of chipotle adobe jalapenos is a good move. Give a full report afterward, on how you liked it. It's the adobe part that speaks to me.

Lani, awww, UQ fledged.  :-* And on bell-ringing day!  :-* :-*  Loved the pics you posted of UQ, and especially of "The 4 Chicks."  :D :-* :-* :-* :-*

TSK, glad Tim likes his new mattress. I don't remember where all the Beakers said they bought new mattresse lately, but I noticed that national news on TV this past weekend had a bit about a consumer recall of some mattresses sold by COSTCO. I don't recall the brand/s involved, but apparently it was discovered they had a mold problem in them, so they are being recalled. Oh, here's a link to a story about it:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/09/22/novaform-mattress-recall-costco-consumers-report-mold/70936744007/


Waving to All the Beakers! Have a good day, All!  :D

Baz - I loved it.....snuck it in without telling Chris....I cut up a peach for a third side in case it was too spicy for him!....shh....he loved it, it was only at the very end he said: Spicy though! The peach was to cool his tongue ;) ;).also provided rice and a carrot dish.

I maybe did add too much?...can't tell what the equivalent of one jalapeno is...so teaspooned it....maybe 3?
Next time I'll maybe use a little less....

Not for me, but for Chris....I think it was a welcome addition.

The Association-Cherish 1966 was closing song/dance  at Larry/Dan's  Junior/Senior Prom.  As Senior Class President he officiated that nigt.
My parents were  one of the couples shaparoning  .  As a little girl I got to go along ... Dad had his Bolex and was busy filming
And, yes I was his 'little helper that's how I got to go along.  ;D  Pictures somewhere as well as 8mm movie. Doubtful the 8mm survived Larry's storage.  :(


CLynn the 'hippy squirrel"  and the 'hippy momma'; tks for the SWFL -   M Liz's photo of M15 and Lady E working on the nest.

 Tsk my mother's Fried Green Tomatoes (1943-ish) is very similar to modern day  Paula  Deen 's that I posted yesterday...cast iron skillet
                         Not the oven fried,  I just posted that as you said you didn't have a cast iron any more.
               
Lori as always a great greeting/you're missed. Not sure which is the cutest this time...kittens or puppies.  ;D


BL tks for the xtra weather info/updates  and tracking maps

Tig yes, good numbers today! Glad you and your Doc 'chatted'

Puff/Bazi :)

Lisa I was wondering the same about UQ chick regarding banding etc.

tsk - Good idea to view more recipes.  Glad to hear that Tim is liking his new mattress.

baz - My first time making them at home with just flour was a fail, too.  ;D  I like the dredge/dip/dredge process, as things stick together better. 

tig - Glad you had a good heart check today.  Hope all goes well with your test tomorrow.  There has to be a easier way to do that test than all that drinking of Gatorade.   ;D

TIG   Thumbs up on the heart check. :)   Squeeze test and Dexa scan for me tomorrow  :o :o

KB   Doesn't sound like Chris complained too much  LOL  You did good.

PHYL   Enjoyed the memories " Cherish" brought to mind

LISA   Here's what I did.  Remember I'm using Romas so they aren'ts very big but  I got about 12 nice bite size slices  - Light dredge in flour, dunk in the egg and dredge with cornmeal and I fried in my non stick frying pan heated with corn oil.  Let them drain and then dipped in ranch dressing.  Very good  I ate all of them throughout the afternoon LOL.  Could suffer tomorrow from the fried aspect as I don't eat fried food as a rule.

LisaG - I've written down your Fried Green Tomato recipe!   Safeway is where I fill up too - and I usually always have a gas discount - glad you take advantage of the Safeway rewards too!

Lani - I learned lots more in watching 60 Minutes on their Sloth segment - it was so GOOD!  Love all the Royal Albatross pics and status on all - thank you! :)

Kb - Amazing pic this morning!  Hope you get more rain  :)   I bet your carnitas are going to be so delicious!

Phyl - Pretty morning autumn pic.

Tsk - Glad that Tim loves the new mattress!   Tsk, I'm so happy you found a flavor you like with the vitamin water - as I mentioned, my hubby likes the different flavors, but I just like plain 'ol water - although I like unsweetened iced tea too.  :) 

Puff - You must have got soaked going out for your paper? ???

Lori - Love your cute & yummy post today!

Clynn - Like the SWFL nestorations - I just need to get used to Harriet not being there anymore.

Baz - So glad you saw the Sloth segment too - it really was detail oriented.   Thank you for the mattress info and link.

Tig - Wishing you all the best - good luck - {Tig}

A few questions cause I'm not familiar with that neck of MN.
Who's sitting on the porch you or the pilot ?
How far west inland approx does that 'color stripe' occur from the shore ??
And generally why _ precipitation, the lake magic itself   ;D , temp, wind, topography _ that is some spectacular color cut off.   :)

North Shore trees

The article mentioned that the color was from maples.  The predominate deciduous trees in NE Minn. are Aspen, Ash and Birch.  For some reason this narrow north shore area is mostly Maples.  Maples and Oaks are a signature of an old forest.  I found a report that said that the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park was mostly Aspen and Birch and that the area had been extensively logged around the 1900s.  Much of the interior lake area is evergreens, which crowd out the deciduous trees in the thin soil/rocky terrain of the Boundary Waters area.  So, did they not log the Northern part of the North Shore or is the soil type/thickness different from the Lighthouse Park area?  In most locations of the US, the amount of daylight is the predominate factor of color onset.  The only factor I can come up with that could cause the early change would be fog.  This area of Superior is known for heavy fog in late summer coming off of the lake.  This would be a significant reduction of sunlight, especially in the early mornings.

Oldguy, I loved the stray cats vid. Are you saying you think the man in that video is Walter Santi?

KB, glad the carnitas turned out yummy, and Chris liked it, too.

M-P, LOL! I'm guessing you're referencing Tig's earlier post? Hope you're not ill.

Tig, good luck tomorrow.

Lisa, I'm glad to know my at-home "fail" with the fried green tomatoes maybe was related to what you mentioned. So I will try the way you posted, and see if I can get mine to turn out better than my last attempt. It's rare that I fry any kind of veggie, because I try to stay away from fried food, but sometimes a good fried veggie just is too good to pass up as a treat. But I have a poor track record with that - the fried coating almost always falls off, and then I try to save it, and end up eating the fried veggie without the coating, and push some of the cooked coating that fell off onto my fork in the same bite. LOL!  ::)

TSK, your fried green tomatoes sound like they turned out really yum!

KB, I sent my Lil Sis to Minnehaha Falls when she was there a few weeks ago, and set her expectations regarding the drought and how much less water there would be at those falls. She said they went to that park to visit the falls, and, yeah, they were suffering from the drought. I wish she could've seen them in their more glorious state.

Phyl, glad you opted for some lunch. It was a late lunch for me for sure - I'm an hour ahead of you, so that turned out to be late lunch/early supper for me.


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Lisa, cute story about you, Jeff and the gas pump. Mike takes care of my car and I start the grill .. life is all about compromise isn't it.  ;D
Manaaki, UQ, maybe UQuarry and others have a 6 year tracker on them. I'll look it up and send it to you.

Kb, The Puli dog is a fierce little guy. I'm sure I've seen this beautiful herding bred on Westminster shows. I wished we could have seen UQ's big moment too! I keep checking on the albatross discussion site. They are waiting for 9 to fledge, including the one I posted yesterday. She's still in sight of the Port Harbor Bay cam. Oh, I just read your post to Clynn, thanks for more info. I bet your pork carnitas was delicious.... I hope the cute gas line was repaired...

Baz, I'm going to get Lucy Cooks' book too. Love the 60 minutes segment on the Sloths too.  :-* ... thanks for the info on Costco.

Phyl, thanks for nature video.

Tig, good heart check today... good luck tomorrow.  :)

Clynn, Thanks for posting the link to the cbs video on the sloths.... Nice pic of M15 and new Lady... The remaining 9 Albatross chicks are nested lower down the sloop. The Port Harbor Bay cam is located higher up the hill and takes photos every few minutes. There are two Albatross in sight of that camera. The main cam will continue to be on. And there's a Signal cam.....
Yesterday I posted a photo and Lady Hawk had a video of YD21 looking at the main cam. Her nest area is seen in this pic just posted a few minutes ago on the Port Harbor Bay cam.

Lani, I think I have the Albatross schedule straight in my mind! The birds that will be coming in and laying their eggs soon are the ones that have been out at sea and laid their last egg two years ago. They are all nest sharing!  You have given us the whole picture this year and I thank you for that!  Happy for UQ, wish we could have seen his take off! YD21 looks lonely...

baz, sounds like there may have been more than one attempt by most to get to the perfect fried green tomatoes! I have never tried to make them!

kb, this year has really taken a toll on the planet. It's getting scary...

tig, David McCallum, such a great character in everything he was in, perfect on NCIS! Sad to lose him...RIP...

Phyl, cute chubby squirrel, this has been a strange year here, haven't seen very many of them in the yard, plenty of chipmunks though. I prefer squirrels, they don't dig holes... thanks for the Nature 365, I have never seen a male deer laying down!

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS

BL   So sad in a way that photos now have to be defended. >:(       Where have you not been that you would like to go???   Love those "Playing for Change" pieces.

MICH-PIP    ;) ;)

KB  What a difference in the Falls  :o

OLDGUY   So much competition in the "band world"

TIG  Good luck today   Oh I'm so sad to hear about "Ducky"  I've watched him from the very beginning of his career.  :(

PHYL  The age of no secrets and total exposure  :o :o :P

LANI   Best friends all tucked in last night  ;D

CLYNN   As good as the tomatoes were I'm not likely to make again.  Too messy a project and I'm suffering a bit today from the fried food.
Another good "Playing for Change"  :D     That Orient Express is absolutely stunning.  :o :o  Wonder how much the trip costs?

Today we remember our sweet JPALM's heavenly b-day

tsk - Your tomatoes sounded delish, and mmmm, dipped in ranch, yum!  Oh no, you are not feeling good from the fried foods. ((HUGS))

E4E - I love the Safeway gas rewards!  I load up my digital coupons every Friday, and also the digital ones for the extra gas points.

tig - So sad about "Ducky".  Loved him on NCIS.  Good luck with your test today!

baz - I fry food on rare occasions now, but you are right, sometimes a good fried veggie is too hard to pass up.  I love me some fried okra!

Lani - Yes, all about compromise.  Thanks!  I wasn't sure if the Royals had a tracker or just a band. Enjoy your outing.  Otis looks alot better than when he first showed up!

Phyl - Cute lil squirrel this morning, and thanks for Nat 365.

clynn - The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, beautiful!  "Simple pleasures"

Lani, have a fun day in the valley, lots of stuff for you and Mike to do and then return to relax in your forest home... Otis is looking good and is hopefully fattened up!

tsk, here is a link to the prices for the Orient Express trips. 1 US Dollar =0.82 Pound Sterling (so it would be 80% of the pound sterling price)  https://www.luxurytraintickets.com/venice-simplon-orient-express

Lisa, we have 'fuel savers' at our grocery store, I let Erin use mine. He always seems to own a gas hog!

tig, wow, that's a real 'roughing it' cabin! Nice!

WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

A generation that walked to school and then walked back.

A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.

A generation that spent all their free time in the streets with their Friends.

A generation that played hide and seek when dark.

A generation that made mud cakes.

A generation that collected sports cards.

A generation that found, collected and washed & Returned empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each , then bought a Mountain Dew and candy bar with the money.

A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.

A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players.

A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their life experiences as a Kid.

A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.

A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.

A generation that had parents who were there.

A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake.

A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try.

I loved Growing up when I did. it was the best of times.

After an 8 day absence, V3 returned to the nest yesterday. He may have a few fresh scrapes on his feet but he looks great. Neither "visitor" has been seen the last two days. V3  and Gabby have roosted together at the Lumber yard sleeping tree last night and tonight.

Curiously, I have yet to see a "Tower" on my water tower yet and it's almost October....too many humans going up and down? Vi saw the humans up there just a few days ago.
Humans: "knock it off"...they've been told bald eagles perch up there and they don't care...of course.

Loved the 'stop drinking my house' - cute vid, but wow - sort of worried about the little turtle at that moment! ;D

BL - Your Minnehaha Falls filled with ice are amazing.

Oldguy - Thank you for explaining the North Shore trees.

Tig  :)

Phyl - Hope all goes well with your PC updates!  Cute morning pic!  Loved Nature red deer resting  :)

Clynn - Venice Simplon-Orient Express is Amazing - thank you for posting!   Love the Wild Heart Ranch early morning pic  :)   Like the email blog you posted - it sure reminded me of how it was when I was growing up - those really were the best days to grow up in!

LisaG - I too make a point of loading my digital discounts before going to Safeway  :)  Sometimes (not always) I find a $10.00 off coupon in the sales ads that get delivered to our mailbox each week!

CLYNN   Prices close to what I was thinking.  Wonder if they have "senior rates"  LOLOL   Couldn't agree more about our great generation.

kb - V3 is looking good.  Glad to see him back. Hope your Towers show up soon. 

E4E - Oh, I have rarely got those $10 coupons in the mailbox.  I shop at Acme too, which is owned by Safeway or vice versa.  Same stuff in the stores, and all the same perks.

My sis posted that generation post in her fb feed a few days ago....got me thinking about this statistic sadly:


Baby boomers are now the fastest-growing group of homeless Americans, in a mounting crisis the country hasn't seen since the Great Depression. People over age 55 accounted for 19.8% of shelter residents in 2021, per government data; in the years since, major metro areas like Miami and Denver have seen huge increases.

they are now calling it a Silver Tsunami....sad, esp when we are blamed by youngins for all their problems.

Clynn, oops...I think I would only be purchasing 82 percent of one of those fabulous Orient Express trips using that calculation.  ;)  It's the other way around... so, at that exchange rate, it would cost about 1.22 USD for each pound sterling of the trip price... so multiply the pound sterling trip price by 1.22 to get the cost in USD.  That generation piece sure brings back a lot of fun memories!  :)  Nice "Song Around The World/Playing For Change."  :)

Tig, glad all went well.

Phyl, did you install Windows 11 today? And it's working?? I'm not going to tempt that on my PC just yet.  ;)

Lani, hope your outing with Mike today is a fun time. Every time I go to Trader Joe's to pick up one or two things, I come out with an armful.  :D

Lisa, mmm... fried okra! Hard to pass up!!

Karen, I hope all is well at your place... I saw potential flooding rains forecasted for your area... I hope you and Piper stay high and dry!

Lisa, we don't have a Safeway anywhere near here! Just Hy-Vee and Fareway. I do remember a Safeway when we lived in New Mexico, it was just down the street. I was in 1st grade and part of 2nd. I looked up the house we lived in, the first house Dad and Mom ever bought. We didn't live in base housing. It was a tiny house, my dad built a little bump out so we could have a place for a table and chairs... 1112 Utah Ave, Alamogordo NM. That would have been 1958/59. 925 sq. ft. I'll have to ask Mom what they paid for it, it says value now is $100,400. I thought one time she said they paid $7,000.

Well, that was a tangent I got off on...  ::) ::)

tsk, I would love to ride on the Orient Express! And I would love to take one of those longboat tours along the Thames in England, and a cruise on the Columbia River in Oregon... we can dream... ;D

E4E, yes, life was so different for us than for the kids today. I can't imagine how it will be when Talon and Bella are grown up, they are so connected to technology...

kb, you just deal with your own home, that is enough.

Lani, I read on the Wild Heart Ranch today that Dan was mowing out on the land with a tractor and bush hog and hit a yellow jacket nest. It sounds like he was bitten many, many times, he called Anne (she was in another town) screaming for help. Anne called several people asking them to go find Dan and help him, as they could get to him before she could. All is well now, but it must have been a harrowing experience! You can read about it on their FB page... Are you still catching them in your trap?

baz, oops, I did get it backwards! Sorry!  That makes it worse! ::)

We had a Safeway in Indio, Calif. My family grocery shopped there a lot. Then before Dad died moved to Joplin, M0 and Skaggs Alpha Beta.

CLynn no more chipmunks---I love those little critters---loads of squ irrels tho.   I'd love to ride the restored Orient Express! Then and now. Read so much about
               it, esp in Agatha's novels and several versions of motion pictures by same name.   Oh yeah a barge down the Thames and the Seine . Cute wooden kitty.

Tsk anyone using  Windows 11 will get Copilot in update download. Dan said he's going w/ Mac.

Tig so glad your testing is fine. Tks for the link to your resort spot. Looks nice and comfy.  I'd be outdoors all the time there!

Lani Otis looks good

KB cute little joke; tks for V3 update and photo---darn good looking BE; eager to read your Mr/Mrs Tower reports; those are distressing statistics about our generation being 'homeless'. I think as time goes on this will be  the norm.

E4E Publix does the digital coupons/discounts; now when I get their 'Weekly Ad' via email I have to login to the 'My Publix' account. Everything is going high
              security  and rapidly

Bazi I've been running Windows 11 for about 3.5 years.
 According to the email...If anyone's PC OS is Windows 11 then the updates coming down to us will have Windows 'CoPilot' in them as well as 150 other  'new things' to make our lives easier and more productive=.  I ask you Bill Gates---how in the "H 377" does a retired insurance agent/home maker need all this *&$ to make her life 'easier'?
I want my words and actions to be my own and I want to be the one writing them and sending then to whom I choose.  Not a computer program and certainly not making purchases on my behalf because 'it' thinks it's better for me. 
LOL What I want is an android to do my housework and yardwork. That's all.

I wish I could post the email I got.
 I certainly hope all the techy articles I've been reading are right about  the  'right to choose'. But, alas they xperts all say this is a 'fallacy'. 
Bazi, I suspect this will occur during the night when PCs are shutdown---upon reboot in the AM this will all install.  I could be wrong.  At any rate, I was happier 4 days ago.

 well Baz, we had a power outage this am for about 30 minutes, no cause revealed!  That was followed by the rain you mentioned.  Nice rain, all day!  Clear now and temps in the 70s.  Feels good but chilly after all the heat!  Think there may be rain for the next few days followed by a warm up to the mid to low 80s!   Yes, flood alerts! Piper and I will be fine!  She will get her little feet wet but the will dry fast.
Went to the orthopedic doctor today for X-rays of my back in preparation for some shots!     Looking forward to better mobility!
I will take those cruises, Clynn and the Orient Express!  Lol!   Great story on how things were. I fhought for a while that some of the changes were good, but not so much!  Too much too soon for some of the littles and not enough  hide and seek! 
Climate change can be fought on many fronts!  Food choices, power usage,  what we plant , etc!   For tge sake of the children it must be done! Also, for the sake of all living things! 
Interesting to watch the royal as changing of the guard, so to speak!
Thanks for all the reports!
Lisa, I shopped Giant!  A few times Safeway!   No specials back in the day like gas rewards!

No wonder my Mom didn't want to own a car any more. ;)

Tig - Looks like all is still pretty good with you - hang in there! ;D

Hi Baz  :)

Lani - Hope you had a great day in the Valley today.

Clynn - Safeway is the main store in our north area, and on the south side of town is Raley's/Nob Hill.  I haven't heard of the stores you mention, so probably every area has their big grocery store/supermarket  ;D :)
I am dreaming with you; I would love to take a ride on the Orient Express  :)

We had it great when we grew up;  we would always be playing with the neighbors outside whether it was at our basketball hoop playing 'horse'! or riding our bikes, or going to the nearby school to play volleyball or softball.  There were always enough neighbors to play softball!  My point is that we were always outside every chance we could!  We used to live right next to the elementary school and be able to go over there to play ball or whatever, but now the school is all fenced and locked up, no one can enter after hours or weekends as we used to do. :(   We know this because once in a while, we will drive by the old homestead and see the changes in the little town.

Phyl - As you explained about Publix - similar to Safeway, I have to sign in and then get all my discounts uploaded - it is real quick - doesn't take long!

Karen - Glad you had a nice rain!

Beakers have a good night.  :)

UQ's Mum LOL came in this morning and waited for her sweet boy for ten minutes! 💕 She sat on the grass looking and hoping to hear those excited squeals and whees for a feeding but all that could be heard where the sound of the gulls overhead. LOL sat on the grass for several minutes before she  got up and walked close to Manaaki's nest and looked all around the area and down the hill for UQ. That really tugs at your heart strings as she has been the sole provider for her chick since May when her mate BLY went missing.🌷🐥 It is so bittersweet to see her looking for her chick just like Mama Lime and GLY did for Manaaki.

LOL would get up and then sit back down several times... you can see how much she was missing her boy and wondering where he was 🌹🌷It hurts to say goodbye but LOL had to make sure UQ was not down the hill so she looked around one last time before she spread her wings and departed over the sea. LOL is such a dedicated Mum and did such an amazing job raising UQ this season. We are all so proud of you and hope that you will now be able to head to South America and rest and recuperate. LOL may come back to check on UQ one more time like L and GLY did for Manaaki. It is so bittersweet to see her go - the last parent of the fab four chicks! 💕 Well done LOL and safe travels to both you and UQ ♥ Thank you for watching!

Hi Beakers, It was hot, crowded with cars and people. But, it was great to see and have my hair done by my good friend again. She got it trimmed back to what it was before. And we had a great visit. Costco and Trader Joe was packed, but we filled our car... And Baz, I could have stayed in Trader Joe's another hour  ;D . Love that place, what a treat! Then we had In and Out Burgers and ate on the way out of town. Saw the sign on Highway 87 "You are entering Tonto National Forest" and sighed with relief and joy! Home towards Rim Country! It's 64 degrees windows open and it's heaven!  ;D

SED Lisa, Eagles, Karen I did have a nice day with Mike. First long ride in his new car, very nice and comfortable. He loves it!  ;D

Baz, it was a fun trip to Trader Joe. We got there before it was too busy.

Tig, take care

Kb, Thanks for update and pic at NEFL nest. I hope the Towers return soon... How is Vi?

Phyl, lovely nature vid.... glad I have an Apple. I hope all works out.

Clynn, The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express decor is stunning. It's very Miss Fisher and Hercule Poirot! I wish I was there.... Oh, I just read your other posts. The cruises would be fantastic, I think you need a vacation!  ;D I just checked the Port Harbor Bay cam and YD21 is sitting on her nest. She did spend time with visitors earlier today!

Courtship
Most albatross stay with the same breeding partner for life. Each year adults return during mating season to Taiaroa Head to reunite with a mate or to find one.  They prefer to nest on tussock grassland, plateaus, or ridges, and will lay one egg biennially. This will normally take place in November or December. Both parents will incubate the egg, and rear the young. After they are born it takes about 240 days for a baby to grow its wings fully and fly by itself.There is very low mortality rates of the laid eggs.

Young albatross return after at least 4 years at sea to find a mate. They socialise in groups of potential mates called gams, to learn the language of courtship and try to impress with their displays. They perfect performances which start as what seems like a dance. Then eventually this becomes a simplified but unique language between one pair which they use to find each other each season.

Clynn. "WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK."  :-*   I just read the Wild Heart Ranch post about the yellow jackets! Yikes, how lucky he was he's okay. Wasp/yellow jackets, my bees looked just like that. And I have almost 2 inches of dead yellow jackets/wasps/hornets in my DIY Bait. And only 12 on the Rescue trap. Oh my your home. Did you send a pic to your mom and sisters?

Good Morning Beakers!

Lani, awww, UQ's Mom came back looking for him...so sweet and kind of sad. Seems like they always make double sure their youngster is gone before they take off... Thank you again for all we have learned about the Albatross!  Sounds like you got a lot done in the Valley yesterday, and a fresh hair trim! I can feel the peaceful, easy feeling you get when you see the Tonto National Forest sign...almost home... Yes, I need a little vacation, can't wait to spend a few days with my sisters and Mom in Texas next month!

E4E, yes, we spent every minute we could playing outside, I even remember sitting outside with my sister on the concrete patio playing with our Barbies! We each had one Barbie doll and one Skipper doll. And a case with mostly homemade clothes. Bella must have 30 Barbies, the Dream House, Dream Camper and who knows what else. And she is already tired of them... When we lived in England my sister Cathy and I would take off on our bicycles and be gone all day, just riding everywhere. Mom had no idea where we were but she never worried, bad things just didn't happen. Most kids don't even walk to school any more, unless they live very close. I see the lines of cars dropping their kids off or picking them up on weekdays.

karen, are you getting another epidural shot? I think you are doing great!  If you were still at the nursing home you wouldn't be doing as good as you are! You would be pushing that button!  ;D

Phyl, I took a look at the Windows 11 update, YUK! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/windows-11-s-next-big-update-is-now-available-with-copilot-ai-powered-paint-and-more/ar-AA1hih7U    It does say you can choose what you want, I will pass on most of it probably, as I bet you will too!

Good Morning, Lani - sounds like a fun day yesterday.

Vi and Dennis are both 87 now and look great btw. She walked down to my house last week with her blood work and MRI results wanting me to review. She always has btw. Her blood work was unremarkable, but her MRI report showed some lymph nodes had enlarged. She wasn't told last year there were any (an oversight IMHO) and she had changed internists this year who had her records. Because of her age, the location and size of them and normal blood work I suggested she go ahead and see the oncologist but not to worry too much.
Yesterday she called to confirm she has CLL..chronic, lymphocytic leukemia. At her age without any treatment and the oncologist didn't suggest any, nor did I, she has a 10-30 life span prognosis. The lesions are small and they won't biopsy as that spreads the disease but further specialist blood work confirmed it.
She feels fine.  Of course, they will follow her annually and I suggested she report any symptoms like extreme fatigue or night sweats.
Prayers requested for her.
I'm happy for her in the sense that this disease can progress slowly, the oncologist didn't suggest treatment or biopsy, and she may feel fine till she's 100!.

BTW, she hasn't walked with me in maybe a year now?....I miss our chats and walks. She said she wanted to start back up last year but something always came up, she has allergies, and it's unlikely she will again.

Thanks for Lady Hawk's report on UQ's Mom..so heartbreaking I think I might now review the video, her report is detail enough! ;)

Peregrin falcon dive.
The peregrine falcon is the fastest diving bird in the world and the fastest animal on the planet. According to Guinness World Records, in 2005 one was recorded diving at speeds of more than 380 km/h.

These are fascinating birds. At the Raptor Center they were kept in their own private rooms. Not as many as the red tails and eagles and they always struck me as a special and hyper bird and a little scary.

Morning all:
We got 2 inches of rain over the last few days..My sister about a 35 minute drive north of me got 5.5 inches.
Lucky her but I'm grateful. My grass seed I laid a week or two ago is actually growing in some areas. Was meant to grow next spring and I don't know now if it will survive the winter as it's germinated but not strong deeper roots. I'm not going to complain though as all the arbors, trees and perennials will go into fall with some needed moisture.

Hoping Andrew comes today or tomorrow. I'm sure with the rain he got behind with all his schedule so we shall see.

CLynn really enjoyed  snaps of Bella and Sydney on Daughter's Day-they look a lot alike;  Like I said about Win11 update earlier---this monster is loaded! It's
scary.  I was under the impression that this would auto download as the usual 'Windows Update' one gets during the night and installs upon 'reboot'
             When you looked at this---was it an installation? Or just a link to info on the update? I don't want to 'click' on something and ''poof' I have it! Like
               what happened with Microsoft Edge and now I have battle it for a spot as my default browser.
               I guess if I don't have the update 'forced' on me---I can just not choose to update at all. LOL

KB I am so sadden and sorry to read about Vi.  Hopefully, as you mentioned this will progress slowly. I'm adding Vi to our home alter prayer list.  I know
                from my Dad's illness how taxing this can sometimes be ...prayers for Dennis as well. Thinking of them both!
                Here's to Andrew's help  later today /tomorrow.  ;)      Cool peregrine falcon---raptors have the most amazing dive.

Lani  tks for Royal update, poor Mum looking for her fledgling baby

E4E fuel cost is up? Yikes! That's not gonna help---any one

Prayers for:   Lahaina   Maui, HI and Morocco  ; All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; My  Alter prayer list
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere and Successful recovery from  Hurricanes  Idalia  & Hilary; Tropical  Storm  Ophelia ; The Beakroom and Cheers; Vi / Dennis.

KAREN    Hope your shots will help if that is what is decided.

EAGLES  WOW   You have really high gas prices  :o  Two days ago I bought gas for $3.57 with my loyalty card discount.  Don't know what it is today tho.

LANI   Awww  Loyal Mama  :)  Good to be home in the temperate climes of the forest  ;D  Good time in the valley despite the heat and crowds.
This is the car that Mike bought from that guy but it needed work done?

CLYNN   Great pic of Sydney and Bella  ;D

Windows 11  has been wonderful to work with.

view out my kitchen window....ash is almost done dropping...I have my work cut out for me once it dries out

Remember when a bald eagle, I assume Mr. Tower, perched on one of the lower curved branches of my ash?
I felt like we were staring at each other.
I made a naive mistake at that time and ran into the living room to get my digital camera...he had gone by that time...

It's a day to walk Ollie, but I'm not sure....so many large vehicles parked across the street...this is a picture of a smaller one left from last night on private property!....we shall see.
Let's just hope they don't "cut" another gas line today, LOL

Good news. Three weeks ago we were notified my Bro had thought his 8 ft. ladder had been stolen from our garage. We were worried. How could it have happened? I had a sneaking suspicion and my hopes were rewarded when I heard the news this a.m. He had loaned it to his B.I.L. early this summer and they both forgotten... partly because the B.I.L. had been out of state most of the summer. Phew.

Taking it easy this morning but I need to do some yard werk the next two days when it starts to dry out. It will be dry and warm this weekend. Perfect for puppies!  :o

Lani, I found a youtube documenting your ride home!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKDj6bWlBQY  I was a bit disappointed that it didn't show your sign, or maybe I missed it... Anyway, it is a beautiful drive!

Phyl, I am also happy with Windows 11!  ;D

tig, we acquired a 12' ladder! We had rented one when we were painting the house years ago. We called the rental company several times that they could come and pick it up, but they never did. I think they finally went out of business and I can see why...Anyway, Ed loaned it to a friend of his several years ago. A couple of years ago I asked him if he could ask the friend to return the ladder and he doesn't remember loaning it...  ::) I guess it's easy come, easy go...  ;D

Shannon lives in Mesa, she takes a shortcut from Gilbert to the Beeline (SR87) or 87 Northbound as we call it per AZ511 app that we have on our iphone. Mike checks what's going on SR87 Southbound to the valley before he leaves for Gila Bend.   https://www.az511.gov/map. ...  I like the TV and Kite sharing a meal. LOL! ... I put a fresh DIY bait out for the yellowjackets/Wasps this morning. Since they are predators they love feasting on the chicken I place in the sugar water. During our early morning walks, we come upon poor dead frogs in the road. And they are covered with live wasps. UGH!

The video you posted was taken a bit closer to Payson, which is at a higher elevation.  Here is a pic of TNF. Above us is the Coconino National Forest, Flagstaff is located there, and that is where we got Sadie. Part of the Hopi reservation is in Coconino NF.
(https://i2.wp.com/phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2009/11/Tonto-National-Forest-Map.jpg)

The Tonto National Forest, encompassing 2,873,200 acres (1,162,700 ha; 11,627 km2), is the largest of the six national forests in Arizona and is the ninth largest national forest in the United States.[1][2] The forest has diverse scenery, with elevations ranging from 1,400 feet (427 m) in the Sonoran Desert to 7,400 feet (2,256 m) in the ponderosa pine forests of the Mogollon Rim (pronounced MOH-gee-on, or MUH-gee-own). The Tonto National Forest is also the most visited "urban" forest in the United States.[3]

The boundaries of the Tonto National Forest are the Phoenix metropolitan area to the south, the Mogollon Rim to the north and the San Carlos and Fort Apache Indian Reservation to the east. The Tonto (Spanish for "dumb") is managed by the USDA Forest Service and its headquarters are in Phoenix. There are local ranger district offices in Globe, Mesa, Payson, Roosevelt, Scottsdale, and Young.[4]

On June 13, 2020, a wildfire ignited in the Tonto Basin area. The Bush Fire, as it was named, burned 193,455 acres, becoming Arizona's fifth largest fire on record. The fire was sufficiently contained by July 1, prompting the Incident Management Team to transition control to the Forest Service, which subsequently conducted a Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) assessment to begin rehabilitation efforts. Investigators determined the fire was human-caused.[5][6]

Wildlife
Many wildlife species inhabit the forest including Colorado desert raccoons, bald eagles, New Mexico black bears, Mearns coyotes, Arizona skunks, bobcats, greater roadrunners, prairie falcons, Coues' white-tailed deer, long-eared owls, desert mule deer, Western red-tailed hawks, Great blue herons, North American cougars, North American barn owls, ring-tailed cats, American kestrels, pronghorns, javelinas, and Rocky Mountain elk.[citation needed]

Lakes, rivers and streams
The Tonto National Forest has six notable cold water reservoirs:

Bartlett Reservoir
Horseshoe Reservoir
The next four are created by the Salt River chain of dams:

Saguaro Lake
Canyon Lake
Apache Lake
Theodore Roosevelt Lake

Great info Lani - allows me to feel closer to ya!

I mowed up all the leaves in back.....whew....more to drop for sure, and the neighbor's ash as well, but a good first effort!

I'm now watching a human operate what's called a Ditch Witch across the street from me....I googled it and it's basically digging a trench in the property across from me.....it's loud, but what I read suggests they are at least across the street, laying fiber optic line outside of our gas lines with it's separate trench?...this one is leading up to my water tower with all that IT equipment on top of it.

I'm just a curious person...LOL

PHYL  Good to know on Windows 11.

KB  What is that slatted brown thingy on your deck?  Do you mulch the leaves as you mow?

TIG   So funny about the ladder  LOLOL  So you are puppy sitting this coming weekend?  We are predicted to have a great weekend here as well.

CLYNN  That was SOO Cool.  Now we know what it looks like when Lani comes home from Phoenix.  Beeline is a pretty route.   LOLOL  George Harrison.   I must have been unconscious when Windows 11 came out.

EAGLES  Enjoy the rest of your day with friends  ;D  Glad you like it

tsk it's a pergola that Scott built over the jacuzzi....remember when we re-stained it on top?..I said we would never do that again ourselves..LOL..I'll have to hire that out about next year. He built a portable roof for over the pergola for the winter jacuzzi time. I have re-used all that tin to fix my shed at the bottom of my hill. Have one more piece of said roof of tin to use up this year. That's one of Andrew's projects.
I now put my jacuzz "to bed" each winter so I don't need a slanted roof of tin over it. He also draped the sides with tarp so it was totally enclosed and quite cozy in the winter. He used the jacuzzi in winter several times a day. I just don't.


Yes, I have a mulching mower. The leaves are too thick to just mow over them when like this. I usually just mulch them in. And, i will have plenty of opportunity to do so yet.
My grass looks great btw after several years of repairing it.

BTW, I have to give a shout out to my husband Scott...He was the winner of the best landscaping for a commercial property several years in Minnetonka when he was the landscaper and operations manager for Environments Inc. The company that built all the cabinets/shelving etc. for companies like Disney and Sherwin Williams..It was a huge property. And now defunct. When we married he left and went to work for the city of Hopkins MN..in guess what?...parks and forestry of course, mowing all areas of city, streets repair, tree trimming, and snow plowing.

He taught me everything. Before that he built houses and also was in the Navy on a submarine Tender in Wietnam operating the boilers of our nuclear war heads.

Though I watched and learned from him, I am not physically able to do everything he did but nonetheless I know more than most about landscaping just from him.

In return, I took care of him as a specialist..think it worked out, LOL

So, I bagged my leaves today...heavy as wet so drying in back in garbage cans till they can be pulled up my hill.

 A hairy or downy woodpecker got stuck inside my screened in porch.

I successfully rescued it after it was dumbfounded for far too long...

I safely used a broom to guide it outside...it was happy. So was Ollie man.

Peregrin falcon dive.
The peregrine falcon is the fastest diving bird in the world and the fastest animal on the planet. According to Guinness World Records, in 2005 one was recorded diving at speeds of more than 380 km/h.

Hi Puff, Oh, you're talking about 89A, well that's an 2 hour drive from Payson > driving on 260 going northwest to Cottonwood turning right onto 89A, that takes you pass Sedona > Flagstaff and beyond. It's a beautiful drive, especially during the fall.  ;D

Lani, thanks for the information about your beautiful area, I want to get in the car and come see you! The drive is beautiful!  I'll ask Mom if we ever went up to Payson when we lived at Luke AFB. I know we went to several National Parks, I'll bet Tonto was one of them! Mom and Dad liked to get away for the weekend now and then and it was much cooler up in the mountains!

Lori, oh those goodies look so good and the bunnies are so cute!! Hope you and Destini are doing well! This pic is for you!

How about this goody? I don't think this town is very far from you!

The Pork Tenderloin From Bents Smokehouse And Pub In Iowa Is So Big, It Could Feed An Entire Family
Is there any more iconic Iowa food than a huge pork tenderloin sandwich? Sometimes they're pounded so flat that they resemble a hubcap more than a food item. But there's one place in the small town of Westgate (population 191) that takes it to another level. Bents Smokehouse & Pub is all about "big food," including massive barbecue platters that will satisfy even the heartiest appetite. But when I took one look at this massive pork tenderloin in Iowa, I was blown away. Bents Smokehouse really takes it to the next level, and this sandwich can easily feed quite a few people.

Good Evening Beakers

Yesterday afternoon was not your typical weather for here...  The center of rotation for the thunderstorms was very near to here - the storm cells were tightly wrapped with them circling the city for awhile - most cells were less than 15 miles wide, so rainfall was very different across town.  On the northside of Iowa City, they got almost nothing - in my area we got .12 inches - downtown got 1/2 inch and the east side of the river by the airport got 1.2 inches - Coralville ranged from .5 to .75 inches.  Today was mostly cloudy this morning and then partly cloudy this afternoon with a high of 77.  Back into the 80s for the weekend and no expected rain for a week.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

CLYNN   Fluffle  LOLOL  Perfect.   That pork tenderloin is insane  :o  I prefer mine sauteed with lemon and capers  LOL  Boy that is some "silo" home.  I would love to see inside.

PHYL  Nice donation and I'm sure will be used in their construction efforts.

OLDGUY    So funny how rain in one area is so different from and area not far away.    Baby goats   :)   Penny - I love that voice. ;D   What amazes me about Claire's cats are that they are so content to stay in those carriers.

LORI   Hope you get to see Grandma - (((Grandma and Lori)))  More cute bunnies  ;D   Thanks for all the great Penny pics

LILBRO  I"m so sorry you have to be working such long hours.   :(  Penny is sure changing and is cuter than ever.  Bet she is one active little 4 yr old  ;D  Thanks much for sharing the pics.  We miss you!!

These 2 brown bears are playing in Sweden. Mom and cub.

Don't forget the corpulent cubs are competing in Fat Bear Jr. competition before Fat Bear week.

I hear and saw a recent pic of the Minnehaha Falls and they are a flowing once again after our recent rain.
Scrolled and scrolled to find it again but it must have been pushed away down the rabbit hole, LOl

Happy Birthday Penny!  Good to see you and very hard to believe you are 4 already!
Good pictures of Sydney and the kids!  Truly look a likes!  Love the fluffle!   Cute little animals!   Think I have some in the front azalea bushes  but rarely see them!
Loved the drive from Mesa to Peyson!  Pretty.  Every area has a different kind of beauty!  Lol, some more than  others!
Tsk, love the piazza party for the 91 year old priest!  We are all getting older! Tge challenges of aging are interesting if not somewhat frustrating!  Tsk, the shots in my back last from a day to months and I can get them 5  times a year!   Am over due now and am not walking well at the moment!  They hurt going in an thus I delay getting them!   Darn arthritis!   Had two of them before=I left the home  and nothing since so they did well!
68 degrees here this am and highs in the mid yo low 80s  thru Friday week!  Good!  Hope no more 90s!
A favorite Fall memory of mine was walking in downtown Evanston, Il on a Bright, sunny Saturday, with an abundance of multi colored leaves under foot! They would be crunchy! There would be a faint smell of someone burning them in the distance and the sound of tge marching band coming from NorthWestern University!  What a great day!   The only thing to come close was a Fall day in Santa Fe with a crisp. Sunny Day with the red Chillis in wild display and the scent of pinon in the air!    Nothing like it here!

Love the picture of sleeping Sydney ,  thanks Clynn!

Going to have some of Loris cookies from yesterday with. Cuppa!

Bearstudy -   An Unusual Interaction - UPDATE September 27, 2023

https://www.bearstudy.org/updates/daily-updates/4813-an-unusual-interaction-update-september-27-2023.html

A couple weeks ago Carolyn photographed a non-clan adult female interacting with a blue jay in a way I’ve never seen. Finding the jay at the bear’s feeding spot, the bear sniffed with eyes and ears focused on the jay. The bear went ahead with eating the sunflower seeds she came for. The jay, instead of moving away, sat tight. Carolyn said the bear even moved closer to the bird’s side. The chipmunk that appeared briefly paid little attention to the situation. It filled its cheeks and hurried off to its hole to store the food for winter. Carolyn discovered that a bear and a chipmunk were not enough to scare the blue jay, but when she moved closer, the jay flew away. Her pictures tell the story.

Thank you for all you do,
Lynn Rogers, Biologist, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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, The Mesa to Payson video captured the changes of the landscape the higher the elevation, especially from Fountain Hills onward. Also, on the right, you passed what the landscape now looks like after the 2020 Bush fires as you pass Bush highway and continued to Mt Ord (the 2021 fire) as well as fire on the left 2021 and this summer we had two fires going southbound to the valley. But at the high elevation of Mt Ord (7,100)you will see less saguaro cacti and more thick juniper pines, oak trees and such. Also, before you get to Bush Highway turnoff, which is just a few minutes from Fountain Hills, is the Salt River Wild Horse rescue on the right. You'll see a few beautiful wild horses scattered on the right from that point and beyond Bush Highway turn off. As you continue driving the winding curves of the highway after you pass the Bush Highway, you will see rocks and small canyons below. Eagles, Red Tail Hawks, TV, can be seen. The curving part of the highway either north or south of 87 that is the most dangerous to drive, especially during rain or snow. Mike lost control and totaled his car a few years ago this coming fall. Lots of accidents occur every year, and there was a couple yesterday. That's why we keep AZ511 app on our iphones. They alert drivers to a possible closure because of fire, accidents and weather conditions for traveling SR87 north or southbound. But, it is a lovely ride, especially when you finally see the blue sky is so close and green trees.  ;D

Hi Eagles  ;D

Tsk, sounds like a nice pizza evening with your pastor. Yummy pizza  ;D

Kb, love the mama bear and cub pic!  :-* ... oh my, well if you've got the time to do a leaf raking artistry that is a gorgeous project!

Hi Lisa lovely pic of a Sydney's beautiful grandma, doting son/father and her precious little self! You should frame this photo.  :-*

Clynn, awww Talon's day with his mom! That's a wonderful pic, Talon has Sydney's eyes, the love is just glowing over their faces! ;D.  .... look a little closer in last night pics, there's more than one bear.  ;D ... poor Keebler he's looking so deprived of food. LOL! ... what a beautiful puzzle of the Sea Eaglets. Gosh, they've grown.  ;D

Phyl, I remember the cuplets, Magic rocks didn't work, Freshen up gum was delicious! Thanks for nature vid....

Lori, Oh my, thank you for posting Miss Penny pics for Lilbro! She has grown into a little beauty! That pic with grandpa Lilbro and brother! LOL!!  ;D

Hi Lilbro, wonderful to see Penny pics, I bet she's full of energy and adventure! And she still loves her cowboy boots!  ;D ... I pray your son is feeling better. And you and Jani are able to find free time to do a little fishing. We miss you.

Hi LilBro  !

One of my tasks today - to repair and reinforce the edging along the raspberries that was pushed out of alignment by the heavy snow.

BTW... the first nurse tried unsuccessfully, twice, to start an I.V. in my right hand/arm. A different nurse came in and was able to get one started in my left arm. Sigh.

Resting now, before going out to mow.

TIG  Has that IV ever been a problem before?  Ouch  Black and blue today?   Raspberry project well done!!  Good before and after.  Love your hydrangea color.  Do you have to make the soil more acidic or basic to maintain the color?

KAREN  Get that walker and bubble wrap out and don't fall!!!  Are you still getting your HHA?

sore bounce
TSK... no, no problems with I.V. B4. And no bruises. I don't do anything to the hydrangeas. That plant's blossoms go from white to very dark pink over the two months or so.
Sore tonight
I made meatballs and esquites for dinner. Yum. My own take... corn, sour cream, cream cheese, mayo, chili powder.

LisaG - Wow, no bruising and your arm feels fine - that's perfect! :)  Good that Jeff will get his Flu shot soon.  I've been getting a Flu shot since I got a terrible flu 10 years ago.  Up until that time, I had never gotten one - now I am sold on getting a shot!

Tsk - I bet Tim was happy to get some of that pizza brought in to him!

Royal Albatross ~ Update On Fledges!! Two Of The Four chicks Still Here In View! ♥ 9.27.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AiRHfNEK9M

Sep 27, 2023
Ranger Sharyn Broni has reported: "There are now only 4 chicks left on the headland. I missed seeing one fledge by moments this afternoon and the one we picked up from the Aramoana salt marsh on Saturday has gone again."

We were lucky to see two of the chicks up on the track. One could be SSF Signal Station Flat chick. With new albie arrivals and returnees starting to come in, the new season will start to pick up in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for watching!

Royal Albatross ~ Female Chick Jumps Down & Lands On Manaaki's Nest! Practices Hops & Hovers 9.28.23SSF practicing on Manaaki's nest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIX__aXCj4k&t=4s

Sep 27, 2023
We now have only 4 out of 33 chicks left to fledge on the headland ♥ This female chick jumps down from Top Flat and lands on His Royal Roundness's nest!! 😊 It may be the SSF (Signal Station Flat chick) since her nest is up on the hill. She picks some of the grass around Manaaki's nest, rests briefly and then she is up to hop and flap to the edge of the hill.

Looking out over the hill, she stretches out her wings, feeling the wind and deciding if it is a good day to fledge. She hovers with paddles up and lands to the right just out of view of the cam. She will be fledging when the winds are the most favorable and she may continue further down the hill (just like Manaaki and UQ did). We are getting down to the final four chicks left to take flight. New arrivals and returning albies are starting to come in for the new breeding season. Thank you for watching!

Royal Albatross ~ A Chick Continues Its Flight Practice & Hovering Skills! 9.28.23

Sep 28, 2023
One of the chicks is seen working on its pre-flight & hovering skills! Enjoy watching their efforts as they make their way down the track and just below the hill. This chick may be fledging in the morning with favorable winds! It is  one of the four remaining chicks left on the headland. Thank you for watching!

Currently 65F   High  85F  mostly sunny,  Low 61 F  clear skies.

The 'Magic Rocks' always worked for me. Kept them in a jar of water with lid. The rocks grew up to the top and then covered the surface. Freshen Up gum was the pits.
First chance I've had to read the posts/i]

CLynn very nice photo of Talon and Sydney; awww Keebler  :-*

Lisa Cracker Barrel always carries the 'old tyme' products. Forgot the company but they sell every single popular item manufactured from the 40's on.
                 Nice snap of you, Dad and Sydney. Whose out like a light :)     

KB nice photo of Mama Bear had  her cub. awesome raking job. Chubby British Fold you have this morning.

E4E great AM gif yesterday---endless coffee

{{{Karen}}}  :(   that you have pain with your spinal injections. Sending good vibes your way!
 I've  had those injections  L4 and L5 and S1.  All I felt was an intense pressure. I laid on my side and told to curl tightly in a ball. Then the nurse held me in position. I was feeling better within hours. Hope it all works out for you.   Box of bubble wrap is going Fed Ex.

Lani  tks for Bear Study and such a cute snap of bear, blue jay and chippymunk. Tks for Royal update too.

{{{Tig}}} I certainly hope the phlebotomist/nurse  didn't 'fish' for the vein.  >:(   Tks for the garden snaps ---nice hydrangea indeed

karen - I hope you get an appointment soon to get some relief, and please be careful!

E4E - Same here with me, and the flu shot.  I had never got it, till I got the flu really bad one year and have had it ever since. 

Lani - Thanks again for the Royal update!  Love the good night gif.

Lani, thank you for the Alby update, just 4 chicks remaining! So sweet, that one of them visited Manaaki's nest! They will all be gone soon, in the wink of an eye. Then we will get to watch the incoming and wait for eggs! The cycle of life! Love the pic of the bear, Blue Jay and the chipmunk, that chipmunk looks like one of mine! They call them Squinnies around here.  Beautiful sunset on the water goodnight picture! Oh, I went back and found the 2nd bear!  ;D  Sounds like they need to do something to make that stretch of the Beeline safer!

tig, your hydrangeas are very pretty! I had my first IV in the 80's. One person tried, couldn't get it so another one came and no luck. They called in the head nurse. She was an older lady dressed in the starched all white with the nurse cap. She couldn't get it either. I was crying, Ed had them call my doctor. Ed explained to her what was happening, she told the nurse to have the anesthesiologist do the IV. He numbed the spot and got it with no trouble. My arm/hand was a bruised mess. I have never had a bad one since then!

tsk, I bet Tim's eyes lit up when you brought him the pizza! Cute chipmunk pic, we have several living on our property! One has a home out front, almost every time I open the front door he goes scurrying out of sight, I hope he is making his holes/tunnels under the ground cover by the oak tree! I have seen a couple in the hosta bed!

karen, love your memory of the fall smells in New Mexico!  I have one of those adobe incense burners, one of the scents is pinion. Also Juniper. I think I'll burn some of it now! Take extra care until you get that shot!

kb, beautiful Scottish Fold cat! I think very photogenic!

Lisa, looks like you are getting rain right now!

Phyl, very serene, calming Nature 365...  and your morning picture too! I didn't care for the Freshen Up gum either, loved Fruit Stripe and Beeman's I think this is the company you were referring to:  https://www.candyfavorites.com/

Not only Friday - It's National Coffee Day Friday!!!!!  Can't believe none of our coffee fiends haven't been waiting for the sunrise.  (We actuall had a delayed sunrise because of  heavy ground fog.  Less than 1/4 miles - still a smidge hanging on.)  And, as the official tea tottler on this end, I even celebrated by brewing a pot of pure Kona, from the islands.  Are you there Lani ?   I have a fresh bag waiting for the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year just in case I can celebrate fresh coffee for the season.  Can't throw out the old  :o  and won't even mix it.  Lots of friends drop in for my tradition of cookies, cucidati, Collin Street fruitcake, and kona.

I've been listening (?) to the conversations about pains, shots, and getting older.  I bet you all know I'm part of the group.  Knees got bad in my 50's, had two replacements by about 2000.  Ton's success set a good prognosis/example.  Did them about 2 years apart.  But it all goes back the that daxx arthritis.  Now??? from my neck down to, yes, my toes.
We all know, no cure, it gets worse, and really limits us in the end.  And, none of us has given up! 

First, I have to mention my IV experience in July---two staff nurses, a head nurse, and a guru in a white caftan thingy wearing something like a fez, finally did the opening of the vein.  Funny thing is the guru (for lack of a better word, no disrespect) is the one who got the IV flowing.  Not only that, but several times during the week there were other techniques where it was used again so it was good he got something opened.  Not only that, but it was in my underarm!?!?!?   There's a first--first time I even ever heard of such a thing.  Easy and fast it was, lickey split.

And then there's the story of arthritis in my spine.  I do have dates, even have a log of all this "stuff"  but let's just say about 2000 I started getting the serious drugs into the spine/sciatic.  I took the offer of being put out.  Boy am I glad about this.  Takes about 15 minutes once your "down".  Next thing I know is I'm in recovery having juice and graham crackers.  As usual precaution Ton needed be there and drive me home - no not really.  He would drive to Omega where I would treat for breakfast.  Treatment had to be about 4 months apart; think I had 6 treatments.  That worked!  Now it's the hip.  Now that doc has located closer to his home.  I just hope he didn't retire.  I might contact him once I get clearance from current issues.  Didn't get the same vibes+ from the recent ortho.  Dang arthritis.

Hey, listen, my coffee got cold.  Back to the liquid treat.

E4E - Yep, Jeff is home working.  He is on his lunch break right now.  ;D You and Kris have a nice weekend, too.

PHYL  It was a spray anesthetic - like Florymethane I believe - Nothing IV or by mouth.

CLYNN  Always loved Snoopy  ;D   " Squinnies"?    LOLOL  Notice how the juvie sea eagles quieted during "nooky"  LOLOL

TIG   So was the bone in a pkg of "boned" breasts or thighs that you used?

PUFF   Getting old is not for the faint of heart :o

Happy Friday, Beakers!

LilBro, HAPPY BELATED 4th BIRTHDAY TO PENNY!!! Adorable!! Loved all the pics!!

Lori, thanks for sharing LilBro's Penny pics! Cute bunnies!!

Karen, hope you get your appt for your shot for your back soon!

Lani, awww... love Sharon's pic of the bear, the blue jay, and the chipmunk! I think it was Sharon's pic! Hope I'm remembering that right. Only 4 juvie R/As left! Love the one that went down the hill and landed on Maanaki's nest! LOL.

Tig, glad you're not bruised. Pretty garden pics.

Lisa, what a great pic of you, Bradley, and Sydney!  You've been holding out on us!

Clynn, thanks for sharing Lisa's pic. Love the Mother/Son pic of Talon and Sydney!! LOL on squinnies... cute... a new name for me!

KB, are the big dig machines done and gone from your neighborhood now?

Phyl, that was the same posture used for my lumbar punctures/spinal taps.

Puff, wish they could cure arthritis.  There are so many different kinds... I have it from my head to the tip-of-my-toes, too - except not in my back. Strange but true. LOL.  Mine was diagnosed when I was 10 years old.

TSK, good turnout for the priest's pizza party!


Waving to All the Beakers!

I've started back with taking 30-minute walks, now that the temps and humidity aren't as high. I'm going to try to go most days, at least 5 times a week, and extend the time from time to time, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise... as they say. At least, that's the plan for now. My bad knee complains loudest, of course, but I tell it too bad, it's coming with me. ;)  I will adjust time and pace as needed, but it feels good to get back out there.

Got my flu shot today - the Fluzone High Dose (HD) Quadrivalent, as recommended for my age group. I've gotten the high dose since it became available.

Take care, All.  :)

Good evening Beakers!   Good to read todays posts!  Some good news and some bad!  Maybe send Snoopy to the House and see if he can get things fixed!   Woof. Woof!   
Such s smart and sweet Puppy!  Ready for some new potted plants and all I  see are Mums and more Mums!   Not a fan. Will wait a little longer for wave petunias and or pansies!   Something will show up!
Folks all over were hiring tree folks to cut down trees they. Did not like!  Mostly slash or similar pines!  They would pile these trees at the curb for the city ir county to haul away!  There is such a pile at the curb next door to me!  It makes it almost impossible to see what is coming down the street when pulling out.  The pile is about 6feet high and runs across the front of their house beginning at my mailbox!  It will be interesting to see if this stuff i picked up!   If it  isn’t, I onder if they will find the tree service with the Tx.

Tsk, still have hhas   5  days a week, 4 hours a day.  Planning to cut the days back!

Tig - Let us know if Camper hears anything from Tyson.  Awe, well hopefully the pups will come for a visit in the near future!

Puff - You brewed some pure Kona from the Islands this morning and didn't invite me!! Lol!! ;D :-*  Read what you posted and I just wish you all the best!!

LisaG - So nice that Jeff works from home a couple of days a week - we all know there is more production when working from home - way less interruptions!

Lani - You & Mike have a nice weekend!  Can't remember when he has to leave again, but hopefully you guys have the weekend together. :)

Kb - Yes with all the rain - it would seem that Minnehaha Falls is flowing - that would be awesome!

Tsk - How was the movie?!  I like the usually toppings on Pizza like pepperoni! ;)

Tig - Oh no that bone in the already pulled chicken - that is a big piece :o  :o

Bazi - Good for you in getting your Flu shot - at least that is done now!  I will get mine in a couple of weeks!

OG - Lots of rain in NY - was watching 'The Today Show' this morning and it was raining steadily!!

Kb, very.photogenic cat  ;D ... Did it rained a lot in your little corner of this earth? ... that's great mileage for 21 years on your jeep.... it's beautiful at Minnehaha Falls.

Clynn, Oh my Sea Eagles Lady and Dad not in front of the kids! LOL!  ;D Cute family quartet! .. cute chipmunk... Nice legs Mr Newman! ...  old model cams!  ;D

Tig, sorry no puppies, and the bone in your soup.  :o .. That's good you got a response from Tyson.

{{{Puff}}} Kona coffee (liquid gold) and very lucky friends this coming holidays!   :-* ... I wish they could cure arthritis.

{{{Baz}}} good going on the daily walks. One day at a time, slow and easy :). and soon it'll be a natural routine. Now, I love it, rain, snow or whatever the weather. Sadie and I do it everyday. Enjoy the quiet time. It helps my knees too. I have friends that do yoga. I'm thinking about it.

{{{Lisa}}} take care  :-*

Karen, I would think with winter coming the pile of trees would be a great sell for firewood! A cord of firewood cost $350 here.

Oldguy, WOW, that's a lot of rain in NY! ... Love Miri chatting to the birds ... Maru doesn't have a care in the world.... Hana has very pretty marking on her mouth. It looks like heart shape lips.

Eagles, Mike is leaving early Sunday for New Orleans, then West Monroe, LA... do you and Kris have a fun weekend planned?

Good night!

Surprise, surprise, Newman and Lisa were still at GSB this morning.  Perching near each other, see pics, and I think they were also soaring together but no pic of that.  Newman's top feathers are blue-gray while Lisa's are much darker; that's one way to tell them apart when her bands are not visible.  I'm smiling!   :)

Phyl, great cat funnies! The move to the carpet, so true! Thanks for the heads up on the Harvest Moon! I am always amazed at how birds never crash into each other! A government shutdown is not designed by any administration, it is standard shutdown of government non-essential services. Great pics of Newman and Lisa!

tsk, today is the last day of September!  Where did September go? I always say, once school starts Christmas is just around the corner. We are having 4 days of hot temps, then back to the good stuff. High today 92, next Saturday 61. That rain in NY is astounding!

kb, love the picture of the tigers!

Lani, Mike has sure been in demand lately, good that he gets at least a week of rest between trips, I hope they plan it that way... I thought that Sydney Sea Eagle video was so funny, the way the youngsters went silent after all their chattering...  ;D ;D  What do you hear from Aly? Hope she is doing well!  And the same for Shannon! Give the Yoga a try, I have thought about it also!

Well, I went out and only 1/2 inch in gauge...total for yesterday: 1 1/2 inches..for the week: 3 1/2...

I'm a little suspicious of that 1/2 inch last night as it seemed so heavy but it was in about an hour hour and a half...also my front yard maple has gotten so big that it may interfere?...I'll wait to see what others report.

Still a godsend.

I checked BL's posts and he was scheduled to leave on the 28th, so he got out of town before the storm.

Time to get to work.

Thank you oldguy...that makes sense about the rate for the 15 minutes especially...my gauge for the day and night might be about 1/2 inch short...or I got that much less..but my camera watched heavy downpours overflowing my gutters for that 15 minutes for sure.

I'm going to move my rain gauge even further away from my big tree....course if I do that now it won't rain anymore this season, LOL

Ben Stoterau took a series of pics of the storm that headed towards us last night...They all were beautiful but this one struck me as the most. Just north of Redwood Falls MN to my southwest in Southern MN. Farmers gotta do what farmers gotta do.

It's Caturday!

Little bit of showers early this morning!  My gauge; .15   ;D


Tig - That is good - at least they are compensating you a little bit.

Lani - Glad you & Mike got to enjoy a few days together  :)   We have no special plans for the weekend.  I am going to make a pot of beans today and put some in the freezer in small containers.  My sister is bringing my mom over a little later for a visit. :

Kb - Such good rain you are getting!!   Just saw the amazing pic with lightening - wow!

Phyl - Like the red kites before migration - thanks for Nature!  Like your 'Caturday' - cute stuff!

Hi Tsk!

Hi Puff!

Clynn - Cute 'Caturday' gifs! ;D   Great pic of cows grazing in IA  :)

Hi Karen!

Baz  :)

LisaG - Cute gif!  Have a fun shopping trip - hope you find everything you want! :)

Oldguy - Good rain measurements for Kb!   Have a nice work day  :)

Beakers have a nice day  :)

HI EVERYONE

BL  I think you are in Alaska now right? on the 28th?

OLDGUY   What a mess for Brooklyn  :o

LANI  That kitty shelter video was unavailable. :(   All that travel has to be so wearing on Mike.  :-*  Cute snuggles in night time pic.

TIG  Good going - Never hurts to ask

KB   Such good news about your torrential rain.  Brooklyn - not so much 

PHYL   funny AM pic  ;D

Morning Tsk,

The Walter Santi guy was just there and filled the bowls. I wish there was a couple of older female cats there, to help cuddle with the kittens.

Adorable Paws - Live cam and Chat on the right side  :)

Afternoon tsk, karen, baz, tig, Puff and all  :)

kb - Thanks for the link to the kitty cam.  That is a great pic of the lightning.  LOL, I have heard of goat yoga, but not llama yoga.  That should be interesting to see.

E4E - Cute morning greeting!  I did find everything we needed, and more.  ;D

oldguy - Have a good day at work.  Thanks for checking BL's posts on his date to leave.  Glad he missed all the flooding. Hope all at his homestead is ok.

clynn - Pretty Caturday greeting.  LOL, cat book clubs.  Beautiful pic of the cows grazing with the Harvest Moon in the back.

Phyl - Good Caturday funnies....can relate to, "I don't always vomit"....lol Thanks for the Nat 365.

Lani - Safe travels for Mike to Louisiana!

Sharing a pic of my sweet Sydney!

Phyl, the moon was gorgeous this morning. Looking forward to seeing the Harvest moon.... funny Caturday posts and so true. LOL!

Tsk Ryder Cup  :(

Clynn, Mike plans his trips depending on the need of the 4 company plants he overlooks... So, I have to plan our valley schedule around his... Both girls are fine. Thanks for asking.  :) Love the moon... and I'm sick of bees.

Lisa, enjoy your shopping day! ... sweet baby girl is growing, love Sydney's pic, those eyes  :-*

Kb, Llama yoga! something new everyday! LOL!  ;D ... no matter how much rain, it was needed  :) ... awesome photo of farmer trying to get as much done to his fields before the storm comes.

Oldguy, have a good day  :)

Eagles, pot of beans sounds so good, I love navy bean soup. But Mike doesn't and neither did the girls. A childhood memory for me...  :(

HAPPY Caturday instead

KB   Great storm photo.

EAGLES   That AM pic would make a good puzzle.

LANI   Oh those kittens are so tiny,   Don't know if I saw it on FB or where but there was a nice tour of the FFRC site and all the rooms and improvements.  Very interesting.  Cool green eye/blue eyed cat  :o   Yes, not a good year for USA in the Ryder cup.

LISA   Another darling pic of Sydney - So bright and attentive  ;D

TIG   Getting warm here now.  Got in some early walking and yard work and Tim just quit as well.

Tsk, yes, I've been keeping up with FFRC too. They have made changes since Jackie Moss left. She was there last month, and the older cats remembered her. Tears from all! And Eagles pic would make a great puzzle. I think I counted 12 cats. There probably more.

Tig take care :)

Beautiful day here!  Mid 80s with a nice breeze!  Raining pine needles and a few leaves!
Lani, most of the leaves trees piled up here are pine so no one wants to burn them!    Full of sap now and if dry they burn very hot and too fast!  Good for mulch or paper. If it was worth anything the guys who cut them up would have taken them!  😆
Clynn, love the. Black kitty in the flowers this am!  The other two were good as well!   Have to agree with u on the political comment on how the rules of a government shut down are established!  The administration has nothing to do with it! The
Lisa, you could almost drown in Sydneys eyes!  Nice you got to bjs.  We only have Sams.  There are a few new stores that are supposed to be cheaper but I do not know what they sell!  Will have to get the new  name.
Lani. I hope Mikes trip to W. Monroe goes well!   Glad the girls are doing well!
Thanks for the posts and the wonderful picture of the eagle and the squirrel! Brave one there!
Going to look up Llama exercise!

some soggy bounce

I spread the grass clippings and Camper tamped it down and then watered it. It took us another hour and a half (which is what I spent out there this a.m. too). I'm drenched. 81 degrees and 61% humidity.

I'll be happy for a cool shower in a bit and leftover pizza tonight!

Thanks Karen for answering my question, I did not know what type of wood.  :)

T40, thanks for Caturday videos... the bunny and cat  :-*... the feral kitty was our cat Milo, though he was 5 years old at the time. It took two years before he allowed a pat, a cuddle is only on his terms... the majestic Philippine Eagle and Harpy Eagle will always be a fascination for me....

Tig "soggy bounce" take care  :)

I'm going to repost a polite reminder posted by a forum member this past summer. Thank you  :-*

Thanks again, Beakers for kind words on Sydney!  :-* :-*

Lani - Mmm, navy bean soup..I want to make a pot now. 

tig - Hope you didn't over-do it.

tsk - I am going to visit next Saturday, fingers crossed. Can't wait to see how big she has got.

T40 - Thanks for videos.  Love that pic!

karen - I really like BJ's, as they do have some things that Sam's doesn't, but BJ's is more expensive than Sam's.  For example...I can buy a case of Deer Park water 40 bottles at Sam's for $5.98, BJ's it is $7.49. 

Have a good night, everyone!

E4E   so glad you're Mom's visiting today  ;)  Navy bean soup esp w/ ham hocks was my Dad's fave---he liked a green onion stalk on the side.

Old Guy tks for extra rain info on KB; lots a luck with cards tonight  ;)

Tig you've put in a tough day in the garden.Cool shower   ;)  Pizza sounds good.

Lani travel mercies for Mike

BL safe journey to AK. Looking forward to some snaps

Happy Caturday, Beakers!

Lisa, Sydney looks so happy! A beautiful picture of a beautiful baby. :-*

E4E, I love a pot of beans on the stove when it starts getting cold!

Lani, I love Navy bean soup!! I loved my years doing yoga, and miss it. I tried to go back to it, but my knees don't allow most poses. I know there are alternate poses for some, but I haven't tried that hard. I love walking every day - I just got out of the habit, and some health issues got in the way for a while. I used to walk 6 miles every day, in the sand by the ocean, every day, no matter the weather - freezing cold wind off the ocean, or rain, or heat, it didn't matter. Loved it. Miss it. The beach towns have made it harder to do - their parking changes are uninviting!  :(  I recognize that political discourse reminder. Thanks for re-posting it.

Phyl, I love seeing the pics of Newman and Lisa at GSB.  :-* :-* Lisa is a beauty!

T40, great photo of the Eagle and the squirrel!

Clynn, tha cats book club! LOL!

KB, I know you're not reporting your precip to the National Weather Service, but there are still some general good tips in this document on where to place a rain gauge that you might find helpful, even if you use a different kind of gauge:
https://www.weather.gov/media/aly/COCORAHS/SettingUpYourGauge.pdf

TSK, I like walking. Even though I'm supposed to do zero-impact exercise, I will still walk. LOL. I would really love to get back in a gym, where I loved using free weights and medicine balls, and non-impact exercise equipment like the recumbent bike, the elliptical, and a few others... maybe I will win the lottery tonight!  ;) ;D  It's almost October! I thought it was October this morning, too! LOL.

BL, Have fun, and please, please, please, stay out of crevasses! I know you will need to traverse some, and that makes me nervous. I may go kiss llamas with Pip!  ;)


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

LisaG - Sweet, beautiful pic of your little Sydney - she is such a doll! :-*  Sounds like you had a great shopping day  :)

Lani - Wow, those eyes on the kitty! :)   Safe travels tomorrow for Mike to New Orleans - hope you guys had a great day  :)   It took all day for my chili beans, as they simmered on low for almost 6 hrs., then I let them cool (which takes a lot of time), then I fill my small containers and put them in the freezer.  I really enjoy doing this!   

Tig - You have a nice yard because of all your efforts - must feel good to be out there and enjoying your yard! :)  You mentioned 'pizza' and that is what we are having - I got home a little while ago after going and picking up a combination pizza at 'Round Table'!  Can't wait to have a slice! ;)

Tsk - Yes - I agree about it making a good puzzle!  Tim knows when it's time to rest a bit! ;)

T40 - That is quite a picture of squirrel & BE  :o

Phyl - Yes, I'm glad my Mom was here for a while today - good visit and she sometimes repeats stories, but that is alright with me - I love her so much. :-*

Clynn - OMGosh - just watched the vid of the flooding in NYC  :o

Bazi - I picked the perfect day to simmer a pot of chili beans - it was a day with a few showers, and gray skies and a temp of 59. :)  When my mom was here today, beans were not ready yet, so tomorrow I will take her some.    Good for you in the walking/exercising you do - I am active all day long, but I need to walk enough to get my heart rate up.  I've told my hubby we need to buy a treadmill.

Hi Lori - hope you & Destini are doing well & fine.  :)

OG - Hope you had a good day at work and hopefully are off tomorrow!

Beakers have a good night.  :)

Clynn, lots of beauties at FFRC along with lots of changes, but the devotion and love of the staff is constant. I love the CH cats they take in and care for the rest of their lives.

{{{Baz}}} One day at a time. That's what I did when I fell off a ladder years ago. Walking the beach sounds like a dream to me. Talons crossed for winning the lottery!  :-*

Eagles, Love the smell of a simmering pot of chili on the stove, especially on a Saturday, football playing on the tv. Perfect! You'll have chili to enjoy throughout the fall. Yum!  You'll enjoy having a treadmill.

Good night! from FFRC

News you can use?....or another learning curve for us Beakers!

This is a Brown hyena or a Strandwolf..the rarest species of hyenas.

BL - maybe you'll find one in AK?.....LOL. Safe exploring.

Baz - thanks for that rain gauge info....yup I do need to move mine for a more accurate reading.
Believe it or not I once thought I wanted to do that for the National Weather folks....for a passing minute anyway. I'm glad for other citizen helpers that do do that.

A scorcher weather wise for another few days with high humidity...A/C back on and limited out door activity.

Happy the Vikings play today.....er um NOT...such a terrible record this year esp. compared to last year's hope.

Lani - my sis has convinced me to start watching the Chiefs instead...her son is married to a Kansas woman. So, now I know two peeps who watch them! I might give them a shot.

Morning all.

It's great to see this almost-pair still at GSB at the end of September.
Will they stay all winter?  Will they migrate as usual?  Will they return in the early spring?
Stay tuned and watch the GSB cam for fall foliage, barges, birds, and more.

KB those Brown Hyenas are very distinct and only found Namibia, Botswana, western and southern Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique and South Africa.
               They're also known as 'The Shaggy Scavenger' .      Enjoy the football  ;)

Phyl, great shots of Newman and Lisa!! Good Nature 365, cute little bird!

baz, we do what we can! I can't just walk for very long, hip arthritis, but If I have a shopping cart I can go much longer. So that's what I do, go to Sam's or Walmart and just troll around the place for as long as I want and can! It's easy to hang around in those big stores without being noticed!

kb, what a strange looking creature! The legs just look weird!

Lori, a great bunch of beautiful firehouse dogs! And a Fire Cat!

E4E, oh, it's almost chili season here! We are having what I hope is the last Indian Summer, got to 93 yesterday. Next weekend will be cool, 62. I think that signals chili!  We always have chili and Cheddar Bay biscuits when the kids come here for Christmas, usually the weekend before Christmas.

Lani, FFRC is a wonderful place, I love that the cats are not in cages, and I am amazed at how they all get along, And yes, wonderful that they care for those sweet CH cats... JUst checked the  main cam, the floor is getting mopped. Love the Cabana cam, the cats love sitting on the ledge and look out the window...

Lisa, is your navy bean soup like a soup or is it thicker? We always had ham & beans (thick), which was navy beans and bits of ham. We ate it with cornbread! Mom always fixes 3 things for me when I visit her - meatloaf, ham & beans and tuna noodle casserole.  Ed doesn't like any of those, says he had them too much growing up.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

BAZI   I think if I had an ocean to do my walking you can bet the walks would be longer.  My SIL  Barb walks the ocean almost daily  when they are in Naples.  But like you say, parking is an issue.  They are able to get a parking permit which gives them some advantage as they are down there about 6 months of the year.  I loved doing that when I spent time down there with her.   I had no idea a rain gauge could be so complicated.   :o  I've never seen the ones with only a 1" center tube.

BL   Now the fun can start  ;) ;)

LORI   Great fire pups photos ;D   Love Milton  ;D   Kudos to Scrappy for making the cut  ;) ;)

KB   I looked at the photo before I saw the text and thought that had to be photo shopped  :o    Such a rare, odd looking hyena.  If you think the Vikings are bad - Bears  0 and 3 they play Denver today  0 and 3  LOLOL  Denver is favored  LOLOL  I see Vikings are 0 and 3 as well  ::) ::)

CLYNN  Wow  you really got warm yesterday - Only low 80's for us and the same for the next 3-4 days.   Thanks for the SWFL couple M and Lady

Went to the Farmers market yesterday and got a dozen apples and will make applesauce today  ;D

Correct call imho, but only announced hours before start time, hmm.

Gotta laugh at Ollie man:

Just lately...hmm, a few weeks, he's become quite mischievous...He gets to sleep in my big soft king bed alone till noon often or whenever he wants to only come up to mess around with us
whenever myself or Chris need a nap or to go to bed he suddenly "comes alive"....

Last two nights he refused to go to bed when I was trying to sleep..up and down off the bed, chewing his bone loudly, staring at me, oh the stares, laying down on the wrong side of me next to me, until finally

Just now Chris needs a nap in the living room (didn't sleep long last night) so who comes up immediately from downstairs!....and starts to "mess around"..wanting to play.

It's now my way or the highway!.
Like I said gotta laugh..have no idea what has brought on this change and I won't probably think about it too long really..he's now 8 1/2 years old.

Ollie man, you silly.

Good Morning Beakers!   October 1st and Pres Jimmy Carter has turned  99 today!

Enjoyed your posts about cooking beans!  I like all beans except for garbanzos. Love  Caribbean black bean soup and tge Senate bean soup in addition to your choices.  My all time favorite is New Orleans Red Beans and rice!   So delicious and when made right, so fattening!  Yum!  A gal in the blood center in Mobile was feom NOLA and she would make a big pot several times a year! The aroma would waft thru the building!
Another glorious breezy day in the low 80s.  Ah!
BaZ, walking  on soft, deep sand gives the muscles in t

Good Afternoon Beakers

I am late, but went to grocery and then came home to put up some Halloween decorations outside.

Phyl - Thanks for the comment about Sydney.  Love those candy corn pumpkins!  Thanks for Nat 365.

clynn -  ;D loved your comment, too.  What did you make for dinner?  Love the statues at the entrance of The Pritchett pasture.  My Navy Bean soup is like a soup.  Jeff likes for me to make cornbread with it, when he is not in the "this is a carby" meal mood. This is the recipe I use:
Navy Bean and Ham Soup

1 lb of navy beans
1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 teaspoon of thyme leaves
1 heaping teaspoon of parsley
1 (14 oz.) can of petite diced tomatoes
1 (32 oz) carton of organic or low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
Ham bone

I do the quick soak on the beans, which my package said to rinse and sort beans and put in large pot and over with 8 cups of water.  Bring to a rapid boil for 2 minutes and remove from fire and cover and let sit for 1 hour.  Drain and rinse beans when hour is up.

Return beans to pot along with ham bone, and all of the other ingredients above.  Also, add 4 cups of water to the pot along with the chicken broth.  Bring to a boil, and then turn down to simmer for 2 to 2 ½ hours.  I let mine cook on the stove on simmer for 4 hours. I did mine that long cause we like the beans soft.


baz - Thank you! 

E4E - I bought some beans yesterday to make chili.  All this talk, I am ready for some chili and Navy bean soup.  Thank you  for comment on Sydney.

BrokenLug - Hope you are having a great trip, be safe! 

Lani - Aww, the FFRC kitties!  Safe travels for Mike. 

Lori - Love the pics from National Fire Pup Day.

kb - You need to do what Jeff does for football. If he watches his team they lose, if he doesn't watch his team they win!  ;D ;D

tsk - Yummy, homemade applesauce.  Have you ever tried a Crispin apple?  They are so good.  I am waiting for Jeff's co-worker to bring me some, as he goes to an apple orchard in PA, not far from here.

Well at the moment I have pixelating going on (comcast) with Spanish speaking background (explaining back ground voices) but subtitles in English.....grrr..it's a local broadcast channel. and commercials don't pixelate and all English!

Somehow comcast has crossed it's wires..they have an all Spanish sports channel.
Believe me I've checked all the boxes of my settings and even tried chatting with a robot...
So Lisa - ask Jeff if that counts as not watching!
If so we are now behind...so maybe I need to shut it off?.....LOL

Hi Eagles, have a great day!  ;D

Karen, Love Red beans and rice. Especially Puerto Rican red beans and rice. In our little village of Makalapa, which is now under the Kamehameha Freeway, was a diverse community. My mother's best friend was Puerto Rican. And Minnie made the best red beans and rice with cilantro. She and her husband were great cooks.

Tsk, homemade applesauce. YUM!.. I couldn't watch Ryder Cup today.  :-[ ... oh well, next time!

Lisa, thanks for sharing the soup recipe. I'm putting up Halloween decorations too.  ;D

Clynn, my mother made Navy beans with ham hock, onions too. It was delicious. That's sweet of your mom to make you those special dishes.  :-*.  Mike is like Ed, he doesn't like the three meals either. I love them, and haven't had them for years. Pretty photo of M and Lady.... Love the famous Ozzie and Harriet statues  :-*

Kb, Love the Brown Hyena and your comment to BL! LOL! That would be something if he came upon one there. Great sense of humor you have!  ;D ... I think there's quite a few peeps in the forum that are Chiefs fan. My MIL was a big fan! Mike has become an AZ Cardinal fan since moving here, but I'm a diehard KC fan like my late MIL... Ollie Man  ;D

Phyl, great Halloween pumpkins....great photos of Newman & Lisa by STLbf... thanks for nature video.

Happy FirePup Day Lori!  ;D  Love the fire pups, Jake's story, Milton and Scrappy the Fire cat! Perfect cat name LOL!  ;D

KB  Hope the Vikings did better - Bears gave up a 3 TD lead to loose by 3  I give up.  Are you sure the language didn't get accidentally changed in your settings?

GOOD MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE

EAGLES   Yes, and despite how long it takes to peel and cut up the apples I may go to the market again next Saturday and get more.  ;D  I love to freeze it and have some all winter long and give some to friends as well.

LANI  Eerie witch silhouette  :o

PHYL   Beautiful blueberry bush.   Oh I'm so sorry about Jim's accident BUT he is OK when you consider no air bags went off.  Sounds like he got his money's worth out of the Pontiac tho..   Once he settles down today after this very traumatic event, things will appear clearer (((JIM)))

Phyl, oh my! I am so sorry this happened to Jim. Ed totaled a car once hydroplaning in the rain. And I had a scare with hydroplaning once. I am just glad that Jim didn't get hurt and I hope nothing shows up later. Somehow it will all work out and hopefully saying goodbye to his Pontiac will be the worst of it. Take care, both of you. This too shall pass....  Interesting Nature 365, and your Mom's Han & Beans sounds just like my Mom's, and yes, we did have green onions with it tii! I hated onions as a kid, as most kids do, but I love them as a grown up!

Lani, yes, Kelsey's lasagna is very good! Sarah and I altered the recipe a bit, we add Graziano's Italian Sausage (a local store https://grazianobrothers.com/ ), it makes it very delicious! I am so glad you got the Bug Bite Thing, I had never heard of them!  https://www.amazon.com/Memine-Suction-Extractor-Tool-Bites-Friendly/dp/B08PBHKMXH/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=bug+bite+thing&qid=1696248854&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1   Haunting Good Night witch!

T40, I love it when Sister Felicity visits us, she is one of our favorites! Always brings a chuckle!

E4E, yes, wonderful lasagna, garlic bread and a fresh garden salad. My Mom calls me the Salad Queen, I like my salad chopped so that I don't have to spend 10 minutes cutting it into bite-sized pieces at the table. And I put a lot of fresh ingredients into it! Served with Olive Garden Lite Italian for me and Balsamic for Ed. Kelsey won't eat salad.  ::)

tsk, I haven't seen any Crispin apples around here, but I will keep looking. I have tried a bag of the Sweetango, very good and a bit pricey! The first Fall that we lived here in Iowa (1997) Ed decided he would make applesauce. He wasn't working at the time, and he bought a ton of apples. He used the apple peeler and made quick work of that. Then he put all the peels down the garbage disposal. BIG MISTAKE. He went to the basement later and all around the washing machine drain pipe and the basement floor were bits and pieces of apple peel. He had to get Roto Rooter out to unclog the drain.

Dana Schroeder - a FB friend I met in search of the eagle's nest by the power plant while at Mom's years ago. She is a wonderful photographer!

Lani - I hope you like the recipe for the beans.  I love the smell of it when it is cooking.

tsk - Oh no, don't order the apples online, that would probably be expensive!

Sue Bruhling - DM2 is in the Nest - Mom Decorah is perched on the Perch Branch.

Decorah Eagles - N4 - September 28, 2023
Well, we had been waiting to get back to Decorah to see if Our Princess DH2 was still around, HM/Missy & HD/Dude (Just Nick Names that I call them), Mom Decorah & her Guy, DM2. Finally had a few days in a row free so I set the alarm for Crazy Early, 4:00 and with Benny Bruhling at the wheel, Tide Bruhling in the back seat and me shotgun, we headed south to Decorah!
I have to tell you as far as DH2, IDK! We did see a couple of Juvies flying around but all from a distance and really there is no way of identifying as she is not banded or been fitted with a GPs Tracker. So, once they leave the nest it's very hard to identify unless they have something really unique as a marker that you can see!
 
We also did not see HD/Dude or HM/Missy at all. But I didn't expect to as Raptor Resource Project was and had been doing camera Maintenance for a few days so it's not surprising that they weren't around! Hopefully they will come back! We've never had anyone not come back to the nest after summer vacation before! 🙂
We did see adult eagles flying around and it very well could have been Dude and Missy but way to far of a distance to identify. Also one day Tide and I decided to walk from Walmart on the Bike Trail to the Fish Hatchery and then back to Walmart. I wanted to see if that is where they hang out in that stretch! And sure enough we ran into a Adult Bald Eagle on the trail perched on a dead tree!! I saw him from a distance, so I wanted to get a little closer for pictures but by the time I did get a little closer The Eagle flew off!! 😉 So, I don't know who it was or even if it was our Eagles....
It will be interesting to see when the new couple show up and when they start Nestorations! I hope soon! But they do have a lot of Time! 🙂
Mom Decorah and her Guy, DM2 have started and are in "Full Throttle Ahead" Nestorations right now!! We saw them Thursday and Saturday! Happy Dance and Tears all at once on the Bike Trail ❤ Yes! They are still together and are Defending their territory and bringing in sticks and fighting over where to place them!! Lol! 😉 All part of the Bonding process for these Eagles ❤
It's just so great to watch them even if it's a distance. Binoculars are your best bet to see them a lot better! 🙂 Both days they were there for hours, in the Nest, Perched on the Perch Branch and coming and going for Sticks and a Fish Snack here and there!! 😉 They have it made with the Upper Iowa River winding around their Nest and Territory!

I told Mom Decorah "Hello!" from all of you and how much she was Missed and How Much we all Love Her ❤ Told her to be safe, that we haven't forgotten her and DM2... Also, I wished her all the Luck in the World for her and DM2's Bobbleheads hatching in the Spring ❤ That would be D40, D41 & D42 if Mom has three chicks which she usually does ❤
So, we will continue to follow Mom Decorah & DM2, and HM/Missy & HD/Dude as long as we can and share our stories and pictures with you ❤ It was 3 more Diamond Days in the Books for me ❤ Have A Great Evening Everyone! Don't let anyone take your Happy Away! 🙂
I am sharing Benny Bruhling's Pictures as it's a Stretch for my Camera Lens! Benny has more Zoom and you can see the Eagles Better!! Thank You! Benny for sharing your pictures with us! 🙂

Happy monday all.....
Geesh Phyl - I can't imagine losing my beloved 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee....I am so sorry for Jim...give him my best regards.

Heading out soon for quick walk with Ollie man...for whatever reason he was better behaved last night.
Might have something to do with I just ignored him earlier in the eve when he wanted out front instead of his big back yard on his own through doggie door...I might have even raised my voice No!
He did go out back, but came in and literally sulked..Chris said he was "crying"
No he's not spoiled....Chris would laugh out loud and say well you spoiled him.

Don't we all?

Dana is quite the photographer.  Loved the plane and moon shot.   Fantastic shots - the best yet from Benny B of D4

LISA  Cozy AM pic today.  My grocery is still not selling cocoa k-cups  :P

Fog / light winds with current temp 52 - high of 72.

Lani - Yes it was a great game for the Chiefs!

Phyl - I am so sorry for Jim's accident.  Cars can be replaced, but Jim cannot.  Thank goodness he is alright.  I know you will work thru this - thoughts & prayers for you both. {{Jim & Phyl}}

Tsk - Good idea you have in making more applesauce to share with friends during the holidays.  :)

Clynn - I too like to chop lettuce into bite size pieces - I love Olive Garden salad dressing too - I have some in the fridge right now!
Just read the story you told about Ed clogging up the pipes with apple peelings - poor guy - bet he was always careful not to do that again!   I have done similar with potato peelings - now I am careful not to overload the disposal all at once! :-[
Great picture by your friend!
Love the Decorah pics  ;D  Thank you for the update and great info! ;D

LisaG - Cute morning image!

Man I'm mad and decompressing.

Glad to know my mace/pepper spray does work. Sprayed 4 times on the tar encircling myself and Ollie while walking in my neighborhood.

A slightly larger than Ollie across in a yard came rushing at us. My command to stop, no, back with raised one hand got nothing...I fell to the ground with Ollie now strongly reacting and this dog didn't care. Then the one loose dog was joined by another larger dog. Obviously they both were on the run together.
Surprised me that no human checked on me, and that neither dog in the least responded to my commands.
I pulled out my mace, and pulled the trigger. Intentionally not hitting the dogs but making enough of a spray in the air and on the tar in front that eventually after 4 of these sprays retreating to terrorize another block.

Remember, Ollie has been bitten twice on the neck already by another unleashed/loose dog and my Walter was literally attacked on the neck by two labs...both dogs leashed and with me/and or both Scott and I.

I carry mace for a reason. Not so much for humans but loose dogs who on the loose inevitably get aggressive and especially in groups of more than one.

Now I wonder how many sprays I have left in my hand held mace?

{{{Phyl and Jim}}} I'm very sorry for Jim's accident. Seeing the photos of the car, I'm so glad for you both Jim's okay, I pray nothing shows up as the days go by. Sending prayers, God Bless you both as you work through this.. thanks for beautiful fall nature vid.

Clynn, I've never heard of the Bug thingy either. Mike feels it's a good find and wanted me to get one for myself and the girls. It suppose to help with all types of bites... Never heard of Sweetangos.... Oh Ed, that's something Mike would have done too.... I never put potato peelings down the disposal either. Now, we hardly use it. Dana Schroeder takes beautiful photos.  Beautiful photos of Decorah Mom and DM2  :-* and wonderful update of our #1 couple by SMB and Benny. They look wonderful as does their new nest. I pray they have a successful season  :-*....  Thank you for posting.

Lisa, Love the smell of simmering soups, stews or baking goodies in the oven that makes Fall the most special season.  ;D

Kb, I hope you and Ollie man had a good walk. It was chilly here, 47 when we went out the door. Oh geez, I just read your updated post! I'm so glad you and Ollie are okay.

Tsk, Enjoy your time with the girls.  :)

Eagles, When Mike goes out of town, he loves going to Olive Garden because of the salad bar and dressing. I've googled Olive Garden dressing after you mentioned it. I'll ask him if he'd like a bottle of the dressing. He's so picky, anything he likes I try to add to his menu. LOL!

Lani - I can feel soreness creeping in my neck and knee...thank God it wasn't winter..by the time I fell Ollie and I were trying to get away in a home's yard, as I kept looking for somewhere to hide. So, I just fell on the grass but still unexpectedly..after getting up and walking down the block frantically and now both of them following us just as quickly is when I used my mace...didn't hit the dogs, just the tar and air...but the larger one probably got a wiff and eventually they went the other direction.

Finally getting the pile of trees removed from the yard next door.   Hope they get the pile on the other side!  Big pile of pine but not mine!  The top of a pine that was blocking the street!  Now I can run the sprinkler system!
Good eagle pictures from Benny and smb !  Thanks for posting Clynn!

Lani - I can feel soreness creeping in my neck and knee...thank God it wasn't winter..by the time I fell Ollie and I were trying to get away in a home's yard, as I kept looking for somewhere to hide. So, I just fell on the grass but still unexpectedly..after getting up and walking down the block frantically and now both of them following us just as quickly is when I used my mace...didn't hit the dogs, just the tar and air...but the larger one probably got a wiff and eventually they went the other direction.

{{{Kb and Ollie}}} How terrifying for you both  :(. sorry this happened. This is what I've learned from our dog classes in Scottsdale.
We took rattlesnake, wild animal and dog off leash training years ago.

https://www.preventivevet.com/dogs/what-to-do-when-approached-by-an-off-leash-dog

Thanks, Lani.all good techniques and I used all of them without the first one relenting and then after the second one joined the first. I am intensely focused and aware as Ollie is now leash reactive after his first violent attack by a different dog...meaning if he sees an unleashed dog he barks...neither dog picked up on Ollie's reaction, neither dog retreated when I raised my one hand and screamed loudly back, stop, and no. In fact they approached rapidly alone and then together circling us. I did as fast as I could get myself up off the ground look for somewhere I could put Ollie..I can no longer pick him up but still looked. I also do this for coyote...look for places to put Ollie that is.
Both as quickly as I and Ollie tried to retreat they followed. It's only then I turned around and sprayed making sure not to hit the dog..I frankly was surprised the smell in the air and street was enough eventually to have them both retreat.

Nonetheless, this is why I am constantly on guard with Ollie and always take a turn down another block when I see a dog walker on a leash even...

This one came out of the bushes of a house yard and was running towards us, the second one was in the mode of helping the smaller one and joined in "the hunt"

I'm so glad I carry mace now. Ollie is trained as well...However, once bitten by an off leash dog (twice by same dog) I don't think he'll ever be the same....very sad.

Not happy that squirrel and/or birds are after our grass seed however.
Laundry day. BBL

I intended to add... KB .. yes! Get more mace...

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Lani on October 02, 2023, 12:24:56 PM

Kb, it's absolutely frightening.

My dog Barkley and I went through the same thing in Scottsdale off-leash dogs that attacked him on leash. Bit him and me, that's why we took vet arranged classes. Also, we have mountain lions, we need to be aware. I carry bear mace spray. Sadie is much more sensitive to outside influences, so she doesn't know it's on me. She doesn't like it if I use a ski pole when walking in the snow. She thinks I will hit her with it. One of our hiking buddies used a fog horn to chase off a coyote. Sadie ran in the opposite direction with me barely hanging on to the leash. Someone used the fog horn to stop a dog fight at the dog park. Well, now she won't go to that dog park, and when she sees that owner she cowers and cries. Now, the friends we walk with know Sadie's habits. If she sees or hears loud and unexpected physical action from them, she never wants to be near them again. LOL! So, I have to be very much in control of my emotions to make her comfortable and feel safe with me.  I know everyone here knows the story about the geese that flew over us suddenly and what happened. She hates birds that fly over her. So, migrating season she's on alert. She's like an elephant, she never forgets or forgives.  :-\.

Lani - awe....it's great to know someone who knows what it's like..although we haven't heard of too many mountain lions, er um lately that is!...trying to put a bit of humor in very terrifying situations.

And mostly so sad for the dogs forever changed...We who always do the things we are supposed to: license train, leash, vaccinate etc...are always the one who pay for humans irresponsibility.

Although I hold no one responsible for the geese personally..again, I'm actually trying to lighten my terror.

I'm also very very sore.

But, but the community is very empathic to me and one even offered to be my walking buddy going forward.
As you know I miss Vi and Chris is still hit or miss

My reason for leaving my house in Fairhope was the lack of a large yard!  Walked 3 dogs ,4 times a day which was great until a pack of wild dogs began showing up!  They were quite large and killed a neighbors cat!   Quite nerve wracking!

E4E - Cute morning greeting, too.

Lani - I love all those smells, too. Thanks for the TRR info and pics.

karen - We are having a nice sunny day, too.  Had to close the windows this morning, cause ole Pepe' was stinking up my yard outside my bedroom window this morning!  ::)

Yeah I have another mace thingy on my car key holder....I will check out my current mace for effectiveness, but I have another and in that case will buy another.

Some here buy bear mace!

KB   What an awful experience.  Not even safe to take a walk with your dog.  We are a  walking Mecca around my neighborhood. - No dog not leashed.  Very sad situation for you.

LANI   I hardly use my disposal either.   Thanks for the sloth update - No deaths this time  :)   Pretty good article for KB  I like the umbrella idea.  she could practice with it in the house with Ollie first.  Throwing treats is also good.    Sadie is a very sensitive pup  :-*

LISA    :-*  that's OK  The K-cups will show up.  I have a couple others stores  I can try

tsk - yes, love the umbrella....however, alone I carry a water bottle on my left hand, Ollie's leash and mace in my right hand.

Sometimes it's too fast to comprehend and react.....when Scott and I witnessed Ollie being attacked by a dog he was carrying a heavy cane. Even he didn't react fast enough.

Can't see myself carrying an umbrella. Nope..

I just need people to keep their dogs secure...and do the best I can.

Hate to say it but I think one has to be a long time dog walker to really understand...Thanks though.

KB, do you think the big, full, Harvest Moon moonlight maybe had anything to do with Ollie getting up and being so active those several nights? It was bright through my windows... like a light was on outside.

Clynn, my mother also made tuna casseroles and meatloaf regularly when I was growing up. Sometimes she would use crushed Lays potato chips as the topping on the tuna casserole - that was my favorite part. LOL.

Take care, All.  :)

BTW, someone posted they saw the Richfield Animal Control pull up and talk to the owners of the two dogs.
Yes I did call them but reluctantly and only after multiple requests I do. Must be know as I waited a few hours to decompress.
Apparently, they get out frequently.

Hopefully they will secure their dogs.

Karen - how old is the flashlight and how big is it?  The flashlight all came with a cord to use for charging - just like phone cables.  The cord type changed over the years and depending on the size of the flashlight.  The charging unit itself was the same as that used for android smart phones.

Here is a link to the current flashlight sold - most older units came in similar sizes with cables for charging
https://www.menards.com/main/search.html?search=guidesman+flashlights&skipKeywordInCategory=true&brandName_facet=Guidesman

This is an YouTube video talking about the rechargeable phones - this was posted 3 years ago, so for the older models
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyuN1mKsZZY

The charging port is located near the power button - here is a link to identify the USB type needed to connect to it - the other end would match to the port on any charger unit you may already have (either USB-A or USB-C)

Post by: karengramke on October 02, 2023, 08:41:23 PM

Old Guy, thanks!  The first link got it!  Turns out it is not rechargeable and takes 4 aa batteries!  It is a 700 something , tactical ,metal and rubber, black and red!  Now to figure out where the batteries go  and how to get to them.  I am thinking they go under the end with the button that turns the flash light on and off.  I have unscrewed this part and there is a red circular thing in the chamber that does not move!  There are tiny screws in this.  Am I right in assuming I take them out and proceed?   A move for tomorrow!
Apologies to the beakers for taking all your time but this is a great instrument!  No Menards here!  Old Guy is the expert!

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: oldguy on October 02, 2023, 09:03:28 PM

Karen - on most of the Guidesman flashlights either the lamp end or the tail end will screw off for easy access to the batteries.  Some will have both ends screw off, but only one end will give direct access to the batteries.  My store does not have the model in stock - I work tomorrow, I will check to see if we have something similar with instructions.  Check for a post after 4pm with an update.

Tsk - Sounds like a fun day!!

Puff - How are you doing?!

Kb - You were too kind for the two dogs coming up on your Ollie - you would have had every reason to spray them - not just the air above them!  Anyway, all turned out good in that you & Ollie remained safe.   Make sure you always carry your Mace/Pepper spray to protect Ollie & yourself.    I would be your & Ollie's walking partner if I lived close to you! ;D   I know some folks who carry bear mace on their walks - and they feel very safe.

Lani - There was a time when I would go to Olive Garden and buy a bottle of their salad dressing, but now I buy it at Safeway!   Thank you for Sloth updates & info - I love them!   Good link you posted about what to do when an off-leash dog approaches.   Awe, poor Sadie has been thru some scary situations and thank goodness you will do what you need to in order to protect her. 

Tig - Yes I agree to your note to Kb;  get more mace.

LisaG - Oh no, Pepe showing up in your yard  :o

Tsk, Sadie was a very abused dog. But as long as both Mike and I are calm, and affectionate with her and the cats. She is fine. There's an older man and woman that absolutely adores her. When she sees them on our morning walks, her body wiggles all over in sheer delight and off she goes...  and I can hardly keep her leash in my hand. LOL!!! But, I run with her to greet them. It gives her such joy to love them and they love her.  :-*

Baz, the full moon has kept the coyotes busy and dogs barking, Sadie being one of them.

Lisa, not even the delicious smell of ham and beans soup can mask Pepe!  :-X  sorry

Oldguy, thanks for helping.

Hi Eagles, I'll look for the salad dressing at Safeway.

Phyl, Newman is a hunk in the Falcon world, and what a survivor he is!  Love that morning picture, how unique! Hope Jim is feeling better... A witness! There must be some reason cars have an issue with that spot in the road! My Mom also put buttered croutons on top of the tuna noodle casserole! Mom learned all that stuff when we lived in New Mexico and you were in CA, so it must be a SW thing? We were the same on the navy beans! Did your Mom put onion and green pepper in the meat loaf and ketchup on the top? My sister Cathy and I would each have a little pile on the side of our plates, we picked each and every green pepper and onion out of the meatloaf!

Lani, sweet Sadie is a gentle soul, you were the one meant to get Sadie and love her.  Your patience with her has surely paid off, she is a happy dog! Thank you for sharing the story of the older couple she loves to see... Sadie barks at the moon? How cute!

tsk, I'm with Phyl, buttered croutons on the tuna casserole! How about the Hashbrown Potato Casserole?  Crushed buttered corn flakes top that one!  I agree, oldguy is our go to person for advice on so many things! Do you remember Mr. Know It All from Rocky & Bullwinkle?

Raptor Resource Project - We got a call from the Decorah Police Department last night regarding a Great Horned Owl tangled in a soccer net at Luther College. When we arrived to help, the net had been cut but the owl was still entangled. RRP's master bander David Kester removed the net from the GHO's wings, body, and neck in expert fashion before checking it for injuries and setting it on the ground to recover. In no time at all, it was up and flying! Thanks to the Decorah Police Department, Luther College, and whoever reported the owl!

Cute pup!

Eagles4 - I'm sure you would be a dog walker buddy with me if you lived here...

Lani - such a sweet "love story" with Sadie and your older couple.

I don't see loose dogs either from inside my house even though I'm constantly looking outside when inside.
I also don't see them when driving in my car.

I think it's seen when you walk a dog in a residential neighborhood..for me, it's almost a mile.

Furthermore my city has a very high concentration of dogs, um cats too.
Just my block alone and only my side of 10 houses has 8 dogs...one of the two apartment complexes across the street from me is a dogs building...probably 10 of them that I've seen.
When I walk my guess is from doing it forever and seeing dogs inside and outside their homes, that there are at least 6 dogs per block both sides and probably more. I walk at least 7 blocks one way and a long block one way..so double that.

From my point of view from this experience but really don't know for sure the problem stems from:

Homeowners with far too much responsibility to adequately be responsible with their dogs..not secure fencing for example, and a very high push of dog rescuers pushing their dogs. New dog owners untrained and then just plain ol don't really give a darn anyway.
Yes, you can have too many of them as my own Vet asserts...too many rescuers in one area.

My city is also pretty tolerant and not enough enforcement...cats are allowed to roam free and I don't think they go around and look to see if every dog is licensed for example.
They are aware however of all the complaints about loose dogs.

The role of feral goats in Maui's fires.....lani, is this true?
You may not be able to read the small print, but basically:
Feral goat grazing has contributed to the decimation of Hawai‘i’s native dry forests, making the landscape more vulnerable to fires, argues a new Science paper.

Lisa - yes I feel fine this morning....probably should head out and either mulch or pick up more leaves in back yard which will be my true test.

Oh and Lady Hawk announced early this morning that all 33 chicks have fledged from the albatross colony.
Great job!

Hi Puff  :)

Hi Baz  :)

Lani - I didn't realize Sadie had such a rough beginning in her life - so happy you & Mike came into her life, as obviously she has the best, loving home with you.    How nice that Sadie gets such a warm greeting from that couple on your walk!! ;D

Phyl - Glad you shared the Beak's well wishes for Jim. :)  Cute morning gif!   Thanks for 'Nature'.   Like the Newman pics - especially his morning 'stretch'  :)

OG - Thanks for all you do!

Hi Karen  :)

Hi Tig  :)

Hi Lori  :)

Tsk - You might need to turn on some AC today! ;)

Clynn - Pretty pics/gifs this morning!  So true about how good OG is to help everyone in the Beak - love the 'Mr. Know It All' comic - and I do remember that cartoon!! ;D
Sweet pic of Helen :-*    So glad for the rescue of the GHO entangled in the net - thank you to all involved in the rescue!  By the way, I have the same Raptor Resource Project print on my pull-over sweatshirt as the fellow doing the rescue!

Kb - Cute pup this morning!  That is good you are familiar with the dogs, pets in your area - I've always heard the saying 'be aware of your surroundings'!  Definitely get more Mace!

Good Morning!  A chilly 67 degrees today but will go up to 84! WeTher in Valdosta and in Mobike is usually delightful during the Fall.  This is the time of year the locals loved going to the beach!  Tourists gone and the weather very enjoyable!

Thanks OG!  I have taken both ends off the flashlight and nothing!  Shall wait for your post after 4!

Clynn, I love the painted pumpkins in your post this morning!   Would hate to throw them out when the rot sets in!

Lisa!  Do you think Pepe is spraying your visiting Kitties?   Tell him to behave or go some place else!

I do not remember any toppings on casseroles except for buttered bread crumbs!  No green pepper in the meatloaf  as my dad did not like it!  Ketchup and bacon on top! Not fond of that dinner!  Lol. Ate chips with dip!

Eagles, the RRP t-shirt has a cool design. It would look great on a pullover.

Lisa, I didn't think about the alert setting off our pets. Sadie will freak. She hates when the smoke alarm peeps. She won't come back in the house for quite awhile... I'll turn off everything.

Kb, sweet pup... I sent you a pm about the article.  :)

Clynn, Sadie barks at the coyotes who are howling at the moon or catching their midnight prey in the light of the moon. And the pack fights over whatever. Sometimes she senses them before the coyote howls.... And during those moments, she's right on our bed, and then she lets out a sudden high-pitch sharp bark that sends Mike, myself and the cats to the ceiling! Mike wears a cpap mask so imagine that!  ;D .... cute pic of Helen.... wonderful GHO rescue by RRP Dave Kester. Gorgeous owl.

Phyl, I'm so glad for you that Jim is doing better, no soreness.... I keep seeing that right side of the vehicle in my mind. Very glad for you both.... Two or three years ago, Mike hydroplaned his car on the SR87 southbound milepost 242 during a rainstorm, of course it was totaled and he walked away from that. That particular area has accidents there several times a month. So there must be issues with that particular area of the road.... thanks for nature vid.... nice pics of STLbf.

A legend synonymous with Fat Bear Week, 480 “Otis” is back for the 2023 competition — and shockingly big, all things considered. Otis is roughly 27 years old, making him one of the oldest bears in Katmai. The godfather of Brooks Falls emerged in late July emaciated and largely toothless. He disappeared for a midseason walkabout, then surprised fans with a reappearance at the falls on Sept. 9 looking absolutely engorged. “G.O.A.Tis” now packs a paunch worthy of his four past titles.

We have been exploring videos and the LG help library since yesterday afternoon. The dryer kept shutting off after 5 minutes. We learned about sensors near the lint trap and also about drying a big load and/or using the manual settings for a small load. All is well but I will finish laundry tomorrow. I want to watch our Twins in their first playoff game this afternoon.
BAZ... I watched Coco G. play in China overnight on the tennis channel. Great match.

Boris & Natasha, Tom Terrific and Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog, with the evil Crabby Appleton, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Mr. Know-it-All, Sherman and Mr. Peabody...are there any I forgot?

Karen - I could not find any additional info on that flashlight and we do not have a similar product at this time.  My guess is that the batteries are contained in a holder and you are seeing the end of the holder.  Hold the flashlight body with ends removed and act like you are trying to get the last bit of ketchup out of a bottle - try this going both ways. Do not use any metal device to try to remove the batteries - risk of damage to electronics inside of flashlight. There are 4 AA batteries inside the flashlight, in a 2 long and 2 wide configuartion.

Good luck..

Thanks Old guy!  The body of the flashlight that holds what I assume to be the cartridge that holds the batteries is rubber!   It adheres to the cartridge very tightly, so no shaking it out!   I rolled it down about an inch but still cannot pull it out!  If I get it out, I am not sure how I would get it back in!    True dilemma!  I am thinking that it is disposable!  It is very heavy.  The person who brought it here is going to call be soon.  Yesterday she said it is very easy, just tap it a few tomes!   My tapping and shaking do not work!   Lol.  Thanks!

Good news on old Otis and the Royal As!  Prayers for a successful journey for all of them!

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: oldguy on October 03, 2023, 06:17:20 PM

I suspect that the batteries have leaked and swelled - if the cartridge has come out at least a half inch, you can use a small screw driver or needle nose pliers to get it the rest of the way.

Here is a short video on how to cleanup the flashlight from the corrosion...

Clynn, I remember all those cartoons - loved 'em all! I think I had a greater appreciation of Fractured Fairy Tales after I was older and "got" so much of what they said that went right over my head when I was little. But that's true of a lot of cartoons, I think. Loved the pic from SWFL of Lady E carrying the moss!  :-*

TSK, I forgot - already!  ::) almost everything I was going to reply to after just now reading all the posts, but I can remember lines of dialogue from movies I haven't seen in decades, and some of the most minute things from childhood. LOL. Must be that long-term vs. short-term memory thing. Makes me wonder if stuff like Prevagen really makes a difference.

Tig, I missed Coco's match, but I've caught parts of a couple of other good matches from the China tourney.


The last time a dog off its leash came at me was about two years ago, as I was pulling out of my parking lot to go run an errand. He was a black lab, and he was headed straight for a busy road. I rolled down my window and said, "Hey!" (like "Hey, bear" LOL - Ely Black Bear Center followers will recognize that). He stopped to give me a good look, and then he turned to continue on, but I hopped out of my car and called him back, and opened my back car door, and he jumped right in, like, "Oh, thanks! I love riding in the car!" LOLOL! He was wearing a collar, but no tag or ID, and no leash. I rode around a few quick blocks, looking for anyone looking for a dog, but no one I saw knew him. So I borrowed a neighbor's leash and spent the next 3 hours walking that dog around the larger neighborhood, asking everyone I saw if they recognized him. And I knocked on some doors of houses that people said where they knew a large black dog lived, though they didn't know if it was the same dog. The dog was having a great time! - greeting all the people in their yards, and getting one of the best walks ever!  ;D  I found the owner!! They had just moved to their house a week earlier, and the dog had dug under their backyard fence and gotten out! She, and the dog, were very happy to be re-united. I told her I was just about to head to a vet to scan for a chip. She said the tag had fallen off the collar, and they hadn't gotten it replaced yet, and the dog was chipped. Anyway, LOL, my errand turned into a 3-hour dog walk and greeting many people I never saw before, and I fell in love with the dog.  :-*


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Clynn, thanks for posting about the ring of fire’ solar eclipse link. Considering I won't be here in 2046, I better get a chance to see it now.  ;D ... oh my, I wonder what Keebler thinks of Wild Heart Ranch door greeter. LOL! Willi would love it!  ;D... That is a stunning photo of SWFL Lady!

Thanks T40, I think this year's Fat Bear winner may be a woman. Either Holly or Grazer. But, Chunky is giving it his all!

Tig, sweet dog story.

SED Eagles, Karen, Oldguy, Lisa

Baz, love your dog story.  ;D

Good night!

Chunk fishing till dark  :-*

Good Morning Everyone...Happy  Wednesday!   

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/51/3d/58/513d58ebbf4cbf9ed5a064fdbdae9352.jpg)

Currently 62F   High  87F sunny,  Low 62 F  clear.


 Dental appointment for me this afternoon---Jim's driving me in my car  when he gets off work,  he'll swing by in it to pick me up.


CLynn awesome crafts that one set of pumpkins looks like they have wrapping paper as mache  our insurer called Jim while he was at work, not allowed to take calls, so they left a message on his phone--he called back, guess  at break and said he left a message. Jim never told me about this till late tonight. I could have helped. When he talks about this sort of 'thing' he gets 'diarrhea of the mouth' .
Oh it's too late for witnesses the report's been made and adjuster has been T/T.    LOL 'Mister Know It-All"   WildHeart Ranch-awww Helen  and their 'greeter'  Willi would  love it.   Thanks for the RRP post...let's hear it for  Dave!  My mom did onions in the meatloaf and 3 interlocking slices of green bell pepper on top as garnish.  But, I  love onions and peppers. Cute story about you/Cathy and meatloaf

KB cute pup; so busy w/your yard

Lisa pretty autumn  tea cup for the AM

Tsk  Jim's his 'usual self' .    I used to watch all those same  cartoon shows too. Loved FFTs (Fractured Fairy Tales) the irony could be funny. Also there was 'Roadrunner', 'Bugs Bunny" , 'Johnny Quest'

E4E enjoyed your AM greeting for Tuesday

Lani I do recall you mentioning years ago about Sadies rough start poor baby--she's survived well with the love y'all given her. Wonderful story bout her greeting the   
neighbors.   Here's to no more  dog run-ins; Thanks for the Royal update and photos;  oh gosh Mike's accident on the Southbound was awful !

Tig  I have a LG set of washer/dryer---love them!  And, that's how my dryer does when lent trap's too full.  Cute story about how you always found you lost dog.

Bazi  very nice dog story  ;)

T40 glad the 'Fat Bear Week' made it after all.  Gotta love Otis!  The 'girls' are looking good this year. 

Nat'l Geo Digital has a short piece about 'Fat Bear Week'. in  last Monday's edition. It was really interesting.


Prayers for:   Lahaina   Maui, HI and Morocco  ; All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; My  Alter prayer list
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere and Successful recovery from  Hurricanes  Idalia  & Hilary; Tropical  Storm  Ophelia ; The Beakroom and Cheers.

Newman spent about an hour this morning on the nest box perch around 7AM, then to his favorite branch about 8AM.

BAZI   I question Prevagen as well.  Tim takes it but I guarantee his memory shows no improvement to me  ;) :o ::) ??? :-\  Very $$$   I'll stick to my crosswords and jumbles and scrabble and sudoku and jigsaws and crochet.    What a great story about the black lab and your dedication and kindness in finding it's owner.  But as you describe kind of a fun day for you too  ;) ;D

Phyl, what a great picture for World Animal Day! (I posted it on FB!)  And what a beautiful Autumn view of the Rainy River in the 365! I checked a map, it's right on the Canadian border...so pretty! Jim must be feeling pretty good if he's working, that's a blessing...  I know exactly what you mean by 'diarrhea of the mouth', Ed has that too. And he tends to exaggerate things each time he recalls. Newman is definitely a hunk! I also have LG washer/dryer. Front load, on pedestals. Ed's domain. They are in the basement and I told him I won't go down there unless I absolutely have to. So he does all the laundry.

Lani, I also think of willi whenever I see a vulture! Chunk looks huge!

tsk, funny that you should say 'Gosh  why can I remember that very cartoon (Dudley Do Right) and not remember the name of the person I just met 10 min ago?'  I have asked myself that very same question! It has to be an age thing. I wonder if taking one of those OTC memory pills really helps...

karen, throw that flashlight away and get this pack of three smaller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0947C9VSJ?tag=bg2-283605-20

baz, yes, long term vs. short term memory thing, seems like several of us have it.  :o :o  And I agree, the Fractured Fairy Tales are fun to watch even now, now that we understand them better!  Here is one for you!  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=youtube+fractured+fairy+tales&mid=D4E891C32B77C8D9BF98D4E891C32B77C8D9BF98
I can remember every word to songs from high school days, the 'oldies'. Guess that is why that's what I listen to!

Lisa, oh, I didn't think about Misty being the same color as Pepe and his family! Maybe she did hang with them when she was homeless...  ::)

E4E, those cartoons were all from the Captain Kangaroo show! Then there were all of the regular Saturday morning cartoons! Phyl named some of them! Saturday morning was fun back then!

currently 55 - we are going to have a really warm day at 86 (this is hot for us)!

Bazi - You did a wonderful thing in finding that Pup's owner - you are a special person - Thank you for sharing your story! :-*

Tig - I like how you would get your (lost) dog in the car - great idea!

Lani - Like the bear pics!

Phyl - Hope all goes well at your dental appt!  Nice that Jim is back to his usual self. :)  I loved all the cartoons you mention!   Loved 'Nature' thank you!

Tsk - I asked my doctor about Prevagen a year or 2 ago, and his reply was to 'save your money'!  He said the best thing is to stay active, exercise (walking or whatever), stay hydrated, exercise your mind with things like you just mentioned, and to just try to live a healthy active life!

LisaG - Hope all goes well at your eye appt.!

Clynn - Funny how I remembered those cartoons, but didn't recall they were all from the Capt Kangaroo show! Lol!

One of my friends is coming over for the afternoon today - years ago, she, I & my hubby all worked at the same place (only I was not married to my hubby at the time)!  We get together every few months. :)

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Now three unleashed dog incidents in two days here in Richfield.
Yesterday a woman was severely bitten by a dog, and another dog, leashed was attacked and injured by a different loose dog.
Counting my incident that's 3...the community is now outraged!....will/can anything be done about it?

Today is a day I'd normally walk Ollie and I'm not sure I will without perhaps Chris following me in the car or at all...something going on here.

Today is Scott's Heavenly Birthday. I've been a little "off kilter" for a few days now and yesterday I realized why...Hope you are well, Dear Scotty.

I won't be reading or posting the rest of today out of pure reverence to him.

Happy Wednesday all....check in tomorrow.

Eagles, I once had two young shih tzus that would occasionally get away from me! Since they were faster than I was and loved car rides I always got the car and went after them!   They would hop right in to go for rides!   Nice job Ba on finding the black labs owners!  They are generally very nice dogs!

Another nice day and no hha! I could have had one a little later but decided to skip it!  The gal I have is in a real mess and I do not know what she is going to do!  She is a single bipolar mother of a second grade boy. Who was diagnosed as bi polar and adhd!  They live with her mother a retired disabled nurse who is the main caregiver for the boy!  He is currently being evaluated by a psychiatrist who thinks his main problem may be that he is on the low end of the autism spectrum, not bi polar!  At any rate he us a problem!
A few years ago the three of them moved to Atlanta from NY and then here.  Not well connected friend wise as yet.   My hha works 2 jobs and depends on her mother!  Grandma relates to the boy better than she does!   She is also going to school to get her ged so sje can go to nursing school!  Last night her mother hd. Stroke!  Many blood clots in her legs!  They did surgery but could not get ll of them and have transferred her to Jacksonville which is two hours from here.   Many problems for her!   Very marginal income makes this very difficult!


Clynn, love the decorated pumpkins!  Particularly the green one!   Will be on the look out for new flashlights! 
Have read numerous reports saying prevagen does not work!  Tim, save your money!

Phyl, Beautiful and peaceful nature video.... {{{Newman}}}

Lisa, I hope all goes well with your dr appt, safe travels.

Clynn, Love the pumpkins and sweet girl taking care of the concrete owies.  :-*

Eagles good advice from your doctor, mine said the same.... I hate taking pills or medicine or getting shots so that advice works for me.  ;D ... have a fun day with your friend.

Tsk Have a lovely day with Puff, safe travels and give her a hug from me..... I took our dog Barkley to the Pet Blessing at our church one time.... We met at a lovely park, all these gorgeous animals, dogs, cats, rabbits and even a guinea pig all gathered round. Barkley wasn't too pleased, but sat and waited quietly. Then Rev. Susan started at the opposite side of us. She used a small willow branch to bless each animal, calling each pet by name. Barkley was eyeing this ceremony very suspicious about the whole thing. So by the time Susan nears us, Barkley takes one long look at her the branch as it touches each pet's head and he runs to the car. With apologies to Rev. Susan we left.... We bought him an ice cream cone, as well as something for us and went home.  ;D

Karen, I'm sorry, very sad situation for your HHA, saying a prayer for you and family.

Good Afternoon Beakers

Back from eye doctor, and still a lil dilated. 

{{{Kb, Chris, Ollie}}} Remembering Scott, and sending you hugs.

Phyl - Aww, Maggie going to get her blessing.  :-*

Lani - All went well at eye appt, and a slight change in the bifocal script, but not enough that I need to go get a new pair of glasses this year.

tsk - Enjoy your day with Puff.  Give her a hug from me!

karen - Wow, sounds like your HHA and her mother have alot on their plate.

E4E - Thank you  :)

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Clynn, thanks for the Fractured Fairy Tale. They're so funny!

Lani, LOL on Barkley at the blessing... and awww, Barkley.  :-*

TSK and E4E, that's what I figured about the OTC memory boosters... yes, very pricey! I figured if they worked, every doc would be telling their patients to take it. LOL. But it's good to get some 1st person reports.

TSK, I'm with you on the alternate non-med approach.  ;) I've never heard of the finger mute button. LOL. Is yours the same as in Phyl's picture? Enjoy meeting Puff for lunch and the coat donations.

Karen, your HHA is dealing with a lot. Hope her mother recovers and gets home again soon and can continue with child care help. I hope you can get another HHA who doesn't bring all her personal troubles to your door... I don't think that's supposed to be part of the program.  Also, be wary of anyone who might be preying on older folks having sympathy for them, to get money from them. I'm not saying that's what your HHA is doing, but there are plenty who have... hate people need to be on the lookout for that kind of scam, but it is a common one, as I'm sure you know.

KB, take care.

Lisa, you're really diligent about your eye checkups. Glad you don't need to shell out again this year for new glasses.

Phyl, I had The Weather Channel on earlier today, and they did a blurb on Fat Bear Week, with pictures of some of the popular candidates.  :D


Off to pull together some late lunch... mixed salad greens, with diced roma tomatoes, diced onion, diced green bell pepper, broccoli, and topped with some garlic shrimp. Will mix EVOO and Balsamic vinegar with a whole bunch of dried herbs and spices and drizzle it over. Same lunch I had yesterday.!  ;D Ho hum.

Clynn, like you, I chop it up in the kitchen so I don't have to fiddle with it while I eat.  :D

LANI   I think if I had property to spare I would do something like that kind lady to tend to all those dogs.    LOLOL  Barkley and his blessing story - a riot!!!

PHYL   Yes it works perfectly.  I pretend I'm holding the remote the then gesture how you would press "mute"   ;) ;)

KB  We remember this day for you when Scott passed.  We all felt it and hopefully the memories are all good for you today. (((KB)))

LISA   Lucky you - no changes in your glasses required.  The last couple years I've had significant changes - not to my liking.

BAZI    I pretend to hold the remote and gesture pressing the "mute" button while pointing it at him.  He gets the idea.   Or if her is watching TV and I need to ask him something - I do the same thing which gets him to actually mute his TV so I can talk. LOL

Wonderful to see PUFF today and her sparkling black Challenger in mint condition.  Like we both said her trunk would easily hold a head body BUT luckily about 20 coats got transferred to my trunk instead - some homeless will be looking quite smart this winter.  Thanks PUFF  Good catch up lunch.

Post by: LisaG1967 on October 04, 2023, 04:59:53 PM

tsk -   Last year when I went to eye doctor, and got new glasses I did not like the strength of the bifocal part.  I felt like I had to bring everything closer to me, and I had a hard time seeing what I was cooking on the stove.  I called her back and told her that, and she had to lower that strength.  I feel like I can still see pretty good out of the script from last year, even tho she said it slightly changed. 

baz - Your lunch sounds delicious!

A Sydney pic, or two :D

BTW all spending some time with us--we did have a nice afternoon - but not so much lunch because so much talking was going on.  Leftovers for dinner.  So close - 20 minutes maybe to meet up at the between spot.  We have no good excuses.  It's embarassing.  Let's do better in the future tsk.

BTW - I found the little bag right in the spot next to my handbag - so I would remember to grab it.  I FORGOT!   :-[

LISA   Look at that cute Sydney all ready for trick or treat  ;D  I can just hear the squeals  ;)   Clever sitting up device - I've never seen one like that before.

PUFF   Completely forgot about the blessing  :P   I went home a different way and it only took me 25 minutes  ;D - So you are right - no good excuse for not meeting up more often.

Lani - Blessings to the lady in Costa Rica that provides a home to many dogs - looks like she has the property for it!   Like the cute story of Barkley! ;D

LisaG - Having to have your eyes dilated is just about the worst - I sure do not like it! ::)   Glad that it seems your appt went well. :)   Sweet, darling pics of Sydney!! ;D

Bazi - Sounds like a good lunch for you today!  Good cautionary words for Karen - a person just can't be too careful these days.

Sorry this is being posted a little late today, but want to post anyway:  Thinking of Scott on his heavenly birthday  {{{Kb}}}

Lisa, glad you don't have to buy a new pair of glasses. I have my appt in a couple of weeks, I'm hoping they can repair scratches in the lens if I don't need a new pair.... awww Lisa, sweet darling Sydney, love her outfit and happy face, I can almost hear her laughter! Pumpkin's already reading, what a big girl. LOL!  ;D :-*

Baz, yummy salad...Good advice for Karen, I hadn't thought about being cautious, but thanks, something to remember....  I've had the bear cam on for several hours now, a few bears are still fishing tonight. Cubs, mom young bears and old, and ducks too.

Tsk, I was talking to Mike this afternoon about Barkley and the Blessing of the Animals. He reminded me the singing, guitar and flute didn't help.  ;D ..... it's wonderful you and Puff were able to meet for lunch and what a blessing to receive the coats for those in need.

{{{Puff}}} you're a blessing to those in need of a warm coat this winter. It's wonderful to hear Beakers getting together.

SED Eagles, Tig, BL :)

Good night!

This big boy (#99) had this part of the Falls by himself tonight. It's raining, windy and looks very cold. Wish I was there, near a nice roaring fire.  ;D

Another close encounter for Newman and Lisa this morning.  She was on the large feeding ledge and he on the nest box perch at about 7:30 AM.  Both flew away, then Newman returned to the nest box and the large feeding ledge for a while before flying away again.  Nice views of a long barge headed upstream in between the falcon views if you like the barges, too.

EAGLES   How did the afternoon with your friend go?

BL   Sounds like a great time so far? Northern lights?   Are you home?

LANI    " singing, guitar and flute didn't help"  LOLOLOL  Barkley's thinking " What the..get me out of here"  ;D ;D

PHYL   I must say I do remember Romper Room and wishing my name would be called  ;) ;)  Kukla and the Captain - all favorites.  Looked up Anissa Jones ( Family Affair)  She died of "drug intoxication"  in 1976 at age 18.  this was 5 years after the show ended.   And Fat Bear week begins  ;D

It sounds like bl is back on board, or at least in communication.  I have the feeling he left the heavy equipment at home and just found a computer.

My first thought when I saw his post - Ah ha  Now comes the difficult task of truly transferring the thrill and beauty of Alaska.  As I mentioned I have many albums with zillions of pics, can't and won't even ever get close to sharing the memories or experiences.

But, I still try and I know BL will keep on keeping trying!  Can't wait for his dialog and shots.

Sepia, had to look that one up myself: changes black and white to a tone of brown. A chemical process.

Good morning all and thank you for all your well wishes.

Didn't walk Ollie yesterday but heading out with Chris in an hour or two.
Meanwhile am getting in touch with a woman who left me her number and offered to be a walking buddy.
We shall see....well meaning have offered before but sometimes work obligations or distance from us gets in the way. I'll call her later.

I am sure I'll end up walking Ollie myself at times but will carry my mace and now know it can be effective which feels good.

Another childhood tv show remembrance....Buffalo Bob.
Once in a Beverly Hills hospital for severe sciatica a nurse used to wake me up singing:
It's Howdy Doody time!...I'll never forget it as she pulled open the shades.

Puff just sent me some info she has gotten recently about river boat tours in USA as we were talking about it.  $ 16,000 to go bottom to top on the Mississippi in 22 days!!  :o :o :o

CLYNN  Have you ever toured the Hoyt Sherman mansion??  Gorgeous place.  Stunning portrait of the SWFL pair.( SB)

KB   You're right about Buffalo Bob.  I think a reason we may know about these shows is because at that time there was only 1 or 2 channels to choose from LOL
Locally in Milwaukee at the time the local news channel, I believe, had someone read the Sunday comics to us.  We would lay in the floor on our stomachs and follow along  LOL      Funny " It's Howdy Doody time"  ;D

Tsk - Had a wonderful afternoon with our friend yesterday - we grilled chicken - it was a nice afternoon with a high of 92 - we sat outside in the shade of the gazebo!

Puff - So happy you & Tsk had lunch together (although you both probably didn't eat much)!  Wonderful for all the coats you had collected!

Clynn - My dad had glaucoma too - so my eye specialist keeps an eye on me (no pun intended)!    Loved the story & vid of Hoyt Sherman Place - I would love to tour it!!

Chris and I walked Ollie just a block shorter Yah!...so much nicer to walk with someone joining.

And then Maria and I connected by phone and when she gets to her calendar we will schedule a walk for next week!
She herself has several rescues, a husky and a blue heeler mix.
She isn't bring her dogs as she understands Ollie's temperament.

How nice is that and off FB as well...though she lives in South Minneapolis she is very involved in my city as her children all go to school here. Even just one partner a week will help, plus get to know someone new!

Have been out and about this morning getting a few things for Jeff.  He thinks he may have a kidney stone.   :-\

Puff - Glad that you and tsk had a nice afternoon. 

tsk - I think the sit up thing is called a Boppy, don't quote me on that tho!  ;D  Cute morning greeting! I will need to win the Lotto to take the boat cruise on the Mighty Mississippi!

karen - My mama says the same thing about Sydney, that she looks older than she is.  She just turned 2 months old yesterday!

E4E - Thank you  :-*  I do not like getting my eyes dilated either.  I get a dull headache for a couple hours after. 

BrokenLug - Sounds like you are having a great time.

Phyl - Yep, good eyeball appt.   :D  Loved Romper Room. I had a Mrs. Beasley doll.

Lani - Hope they can repair your glasses.  Thanks for the kind words on Sydney.

clynn - Sydney does look like she is reading the book.  Bradley had a video of her, and she was making cooing noises at it, too. Beautiful theater, and great pic from SueB.

kb - Beautiful kitties this morning.  Glad you are feeling somewhat better. 

Lori - Love the October post and the yummy goodies!

{{{Hi Lori and Destini!}}} Love your morning Halloween pups/kitties and of course Krispy Kremes!  ;D :-*

Eagles, Glad you had a nice day with your friend.... I'd love to tour Sherman House too.

Kb, "It's Howdy Doody Time!" LOL! ... nice that you had a good walk  ;D , maybe she could introduce another dog slowly to Ollie, as we do with Sadie, and then they can become pack buddies. On our daily walks we meet two owners with their dogs Molly and Dresdin, and sometimes Scottish Terriers Archie and Lillie join us.

Clynn, I'd love to tour the Hoyt Sherman place.... nice pic of Lady and M this morning.

Tsk, it was very tragic news about Anissa Jones death, so young. Some child actors struggle into their adulthood... just read your post to Kb, Hawaii only had one channel CBS for a few years. Lots of great westerns as we've discussed here before.... wow that's a little more than $727 per day on the Mississippi! But I bet the trip is fantastic, as well as the meals. What river boat?

Phyl, Thanks for childhood memories and Fat Bear voting continues, Grazer has a good shot at winning today's votes ... lovely nature vid, winter's coming.

Royal Albatross discussion thread today!
Some chatters think the video and photos may be from the location or area around Quarry 23, UQ and Manaaki's nests of today!  ;D
And they are wondering about the 33 chicks from this past season and are they direct descendants.

LORI   You have the best fall collection  ;D ;D  Cute Krispy Screams  LOL

LISA  Love that AM pic of the pumpkin lined walkway  :)   (((JEFF)))  Ouch  I remember back in the 70's when Tim was flying home from a business trip.  Horrible kidney stone pain on the plane.  He was in misery when I picked him up.

LANI   That kitty thought she could hide in that pumpkin.  Nice sunny spot tho  LOL   Cool vintage pics from Taiaroa Head.1936   All the years that have gone by.  Went back to PUFF's email and it was Viking cruise line.

Puff just sent me some info she has gotten recently about river boat tours in USA as we were talking about it.  $ 16,000 to go bottom to top on the Mississippi in 22 days!!  :o :o :o


Ah ha - my mistake (second one this month, don't recall specifics of the first) Anyway
while talking she mentioned the new Mississippi market again.  Specifically, Viking.  When I got home after lunch, luck be told, I had a mail posting from Viking.  So I just forwarded to her. 

Qualifying my incomplete info - That's like looking at the sticker sheet of a car in a showroom.  I think by the time we look at new cars and the sticker - we know it isn't for real, set in stone.  The price she highlighted above could be even more for the date alone.  Again, not mentioned, I don't know how much research she did, BUT. . .

Not mentioned:  Ship is 3 years old, carries less than 400 total psgrs, all staterooms are outside, none inside, 15 ports of call, 22 days long she mentioned, includes 16 tours, 3 weeks breakfast/lunch/dinner, r/t Airfare and transfers, stateroom location, entertainment in evenings, some drinks.

As I mentioned I will go someday, I'll see what specials are offered and advise my clients accordingly.  Yes, sometimes I get agent specials too.  Trust me, I will not be opting for that highest class.  Trust me I Do Get Free.  >:(    I hope to be able to do the top to bottom river cruise; I'll see.  (tsk - maybe for my 90th)

One other caveat - These cruises are very hard to get.  I know at this point I would not count on anything for the '23 holidays!  2024 is probably half sold. Next?  All the ships, all 3 cruise lines, start taking waitlists at the beginning of summer, let alone fall color dates, and holidays.

That's some of the factors not mentioned in the eflyer I sent to tsk.

BL I'm sure you have by now...but The Aurora Borealis  is fantastic. I never saw it enough!  Looking forward to your adventures and photos.

CLynn nice Autumns this AM.   Enjoyed the Des Moines Haunted Stories & Tours - Hoyt Sherman Place, Des Moines, Iowa.    Tks for snap of 'Lady ' and 'Mighty M'.  ;)I just voted on Fat Bear-for the ladies of course! As the results stand now: Poll 1  Bucky 41,995/Electra 24,247;

case this time.

Lani I think the kitty in the Jack O Lantern is named 'Jackie'  LOL.  Thanks for the Royal update. Luv the WWII vintage smap with  Royal and chick at  Taiaroa Head,


Never watched 'Buffalo Bill/howdy Doody'.  I was a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kid.  ;D

Des Moines Haunted Stories & Tours - Hoyt Sherman Place, Des Moines, Iowa.
Built in 1877, Hoyt Sherman Place was formerly the family home of Des Moines postmaster Hoyt Sherman. The house is attached to the theater.  https://hoytsherman.org/mansion/

Clynn, the Hoyt Sherman Place is pretty spectacular! I was hoping to see a picture of the outside of the house, so I went to your link, but only found interior shots. I also found this blurb there about Hoyt Sherman - https://hoytsherman.org/about/  He was the youngest of 11 children!! And he was from a well-known family. He sure gave a lot to Des Moines.

Sepia toning of photographs was used from the 1850s to 1920s as a means of adding color to a picture as well as doubling the life of the picture as it blocked harmful sun rays.
It cost more to make the pictures, but many chose it for the soft look as opposed to B & W

Hi Bazi  pets to Zippo; That's right ---forgot about your fridge. Had the car accident on my mind  :(

Lisa Agree about men--You may have to load Jeff up in the car and take him to a Urgent Care.
 Jim hasn't been returning our ins. cos. adjuster's phone calls as she calls while he's at Publix working.   I told him he had better call her and explain why he doesn't call her during the day. And that she can reach him after 4pm tomorrow.
Also he needs to replace the Pontiac, like now!
And, he should ask adjuster about loss of our discounts.  Then he says, 'I need to make a list of things."  Ah yeah. You think!?  ::)

Tig hope you get the grass growing ...Jim says he'll mow prob this Monday as we're suppose to get more rain tomorrow. 

T40 luved the sweet ending to Decorah Police/RRP rescue' and so glad the horned owl was rescued and it took off flying. Tks.

RIP-Dick Butkus. I likely missed the segment about him.

tsk, Ed had some weird 'affliction' when we were on our honeymoon in the Bahamas. The day before we were leaving he said he felt all these stabbing pains in his back. The hotel called a cab to take him to the hospital, it was an old Cadillac... They had no idea what was wrong with him at the hospital, so they gave him a shot of pain meds and sent him back to the hotel. The hospital charge was $15 (1984). They gave him all three seats on the plane so he could lay down and he moaned a lot. Emergency room in Barrington and again in Springfield. Whatever it was, the doctor said it was something with his liver, the counts were the opposite of cirrhosis of the liver. It went away after a few days, they checked him again and liver was normal. He ate a seafood dish that I didn't, that is the only thing I could think of that caused it!

Lori - cute graphics today!!  Wow, love the albatross pic from 1942!! ;D

LisaG - Probably should get Jeff into the doc's office - as it is no fun to be in discomfort. {{Lisa/Jeff}}  Okay, it sounds like Jeff hopes he feels better tomorrow, but tomorrow is Friday - he should see the doctor rather than being in pain all weekend. :-\ :(

Tig - Glad for the new little grasses growing! :)    Thank you Tig for answering my text! :)

Tsk - Today was a high of 97!  I didn't drive out anywhere - stayed home!  Our house is very insulated and stays cool - kept the doors/windows shut during the day, but will open up the back doors & windows pretty soon for the cool breeze!

Phyl - Sounds like a fun trip to go down the Cumberland River!! ;D

Baz - Awe, how sweet that Zippo is sitting with you and trying to 'help' you type! ;D

Puff - Just saw on the news that Dick Butkus passed. RIP  :(

Kb - Our son (former Marine) is a 'lefty' and we are both r-handed!

Lisa, How is Jeff? Did he go to the dr? sending prayers. Bless him, that is so painful.  :(

Puff, Dick Butkus, a great athletic, RIP.

Baz, sweet Zippo loves working the computer with you.  ;D... My mother was left handed, as most of Mike's side of the family. Mike is the only right hander. Aly is our lefty, but she would play sports right handed.

T40, thanks for reposting the RRP article on the GHO rescue.

Eagles, That RRP design on Dave's shirt is nice, and so is the color of the t-shirt. I was checking out the shopping section in RRP. What color is your sweatshirt? I like the Midnight Blue.

Clynn, Poor Ed, he must have been miserable. And on your honeymoon too... I bet it was the seafood that affected Ed. Did he ever have that same problem again?

Good night from Brook Falls!

Really, so many views of posted peregrine pics??  OK by me.
This morning starting about 7:00, Newman was on his branch and Lisa 53-W was on the feeding ledge and the nest box. She was vocalizing, and maybe he, too.  Maybe they were talking about the cormorants gathered in the trees across from the next box.

Lani, I remember watching and loving the Annette Funicello Beach movies, Annette and Frankie Avalon were such a cute couple! I would love a Viking Cruise, they look so interesting and fun...and relaxing!

Phyl, Newman, get busy!  ;D ;D  Newman and Lisa are a very handsome pair! I so hope we have a good season next year! Yes, I do believe it was something Ed ate. I think it was the conch burger. Ugh, I wouldn't even taste it, it just sounded gross to make a burger out of conch meat. Interesting 365!

E4E, our high today will be 56, it was 93 on Tuesday! The leaves will be falling!

Hi EVERYONE

50 degrees this AM  :o :o

LISA   Applesauce turned out good. :)  Will go to Farmer's market tomorrow and get more apples.  ;)  So I take it the kidney stone did not pass?

T40   It was a good story  ;) ;)

CLYNN   What a bizarre incident for Ed.  It's disheartening to not have a diagnosis.   My friend in Florida whose husband died about 6 weeks ago - they could not find out why he died - Some infection they could not track down. They were still running cultures after the fact.  I must ask her the next time we speak.    Wow  Look at all those swallowtails on the parsley  :o

PHYL   365 - the shadows are alive  :)     Flyway beautiful  :o

Sad, but the message to me is profound...we should never forget...

“Yesterday I witnessed something that took my breath away. I heard a sound at the window of the cottage. When I looked, a cedar waxwing had hit the window and fallen to the deck. It’s mate stood beside it. It was clear that the fallen bird was dead. I turned away for a moment and when I looked again, it’s mate had hopped over. It lay down beside its partner, their heads touching. It closed its eyes and passed over to Spirit with its mate. The sadness and beauty of the moment was such a privilege to witness. If anyone has ever doubted that animals feel emotion and love, this moment was absolute proof of both. Nature truly has much to teach us.”

and, to lighten the mood:...cats are weird.

Morning kb, Puff, karen, tig and all  :)

tsk - Glad the applesauce came out good.  I want to try and make that one day.  He is still in some pain, but he said, not as painful as it was yesterday.  He does not think he passed it, tho.   

Phyl - Loved that sunrise from Flyway.  Thanks for the 365!  Hope Jim gets to talk to that adjuster and gets everything straight.

clynn - When I grew parsley a few years ago, mine looked just like that with all the Swallowtails on it.  I had no clue what they were, and freaked out!  ;D  I love that pic of, "Somewhere in Iowa tonight".

Lani - Jeff didn't go to doctors, and he probably won't go today.  He says, he is still in pain, but it is more tolerable today.  He was miserable yesterday.  Love the good night pics from Brook Falls.

E4E - Thanks for the {{{ }}} for Jeff.  :)

T40 - Thanks for the articles on Dave K helping the owl out of the soccer net.

Clynn - Much cooler for you today than your 93 on Tuesday!   Like the SWFL nest - season 12!   Those caterpillars are different than any I've ever seen - cute tho! :)

Tsk - Cute gif this morning!

Kb - Awe, sad story, but thank you for that - Nature is truly amazing, especially their feelings for their mate.    Lol-cats!

Dear E4E  Very nice AM greeting for today.   Don't beat yourself up over a typo. I just didn't want you think it was me. 

CLynn looked up Conch meat---comes from an over sized sea snail. Right there I have to stop. Any way it's fried to really crispy and put on a hamburger bun, etc.
I wager it was all that oil and being over used thus 'dirty'.   Plus , humans aren't suppose to eat everything  put on this planet. IMHO
Cool snap of the Black Swallowtail Caterpillars .
  Tks for SWFL nest photo looks like it might be ready for a family. Wow! Number 12. Here's to success---for all our nests.

Tsk I bet your apple sauce is delish---never had homemade. Enjoyed  the AM greeting today. I'm slowly getting to Halloween.
 Among others on the holiday viewing roster is AG's 'Hallowe'en Party' w/ David Suchet. Maybe watch tonight.  Also have on our list "The Others' w/ Nicole Kidman
We don't watch horror---not what Halloween is about.

Lisa  {{{Jeff}}  Glad he's doing some better. Get well soon!    Jim makes me fret!  He's so lack-a-daisical.  And, slower than molasses out the bottle! 

KB I've never doubted that the fauna can feel as humans feel. Such a sad story---a real 'love story'.  LOL cat video--that tail is good for more than balancing!

TGIF Beakers!
Morning 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 think I will get a shirt too.... Mike's coming home today. His plane lands at 10:30am!  ;D .... Sadie will be all wiggle butt when she sees her dad! Sorry about your warm temps. It's been lovely here... lows in high 40's in the morning to low 80's during the day. Are you still getting any smoke from the fires? Depending on the wind, we get smoke from the Valentine Fire just 27 miles away.

Lisa, my good pics were events that was happening in a ten minute time period last night. The river is running low right now. The eagle was able to get his catch with no trouble and enjoy his dinner with no trouble.... {{{Jeff}}} I hope he feels better soon, but I hope he doesn't need to make an Urgent Care trip this weekend.

Kb, what a heartbreaking story, a true love to the end.  :'( ... it's rare to see a Cedar waxwing here, but when I do, I can't stop watching these beautiful birds... cute cat, but I'm still very sad about the birds.  :'(

Tsk, I'm sorry for your friends loss, I hope they will be able to find a diagnosis. It might help others find answers too.

Phyl, beautiful sunrise.... thanks for nature vid.... I guess you've never watched "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" on the Travel Channel. LOL! I had to eat conch meat when I was young. I didn't like it. When you live in a diverse community such as the Bahamas or Hawaii and you're poor you eat what you can afford and what your mother puts in front of you.  I hated liver, but it was the cheapest thing. UGH! Both my girls have never had to have either, but then Shannon wouldn't touch anything from the ocean or lake if her life depended on it. LOL!... YUMMY pumpkin cake recipe. Now that's something I wouldn't say no to.

Clynn, I never liked conch meat either, especially in a burger, but I was made to eat it when I was young. Mother liked abalone, octopus too, so we had to eat that. It's like eating rubber that is still wiggling....but, when you are poor you eat what's put in front of you. I just soaked it in shoyu to add flavor  :-\ ...  Thank goodness, my grandparents never made me eat it. It was enough that grandpa made sure I ate my veggies, especially eggplant  :-X . When I think what I had to eat as a child, no wonder I was a skinny boney thing. Maybe I should go back to that, too much cheese and carbs, also the glass of wine doesn't help. LOL!  .... I watched every Mickey Mouse Club show with her. Followed her on Spin and Marty. I never missed seeing her on various tv shows before the Beach movies... it'll be awhile before GSB has any babies. But that owl will need to move or sadly another female will be lost again.... great crib rails on the SWFL nest... your poor parsley.

Howdy Beakers!  :D

Lisa, ((Jeff)) - I know you're a good nurse! I hope Jeff doesn't have a kidney stone, or kidney colic. I've been through both of those a couple times - sooo painful! It could possibly be his gall bladder - either gall stones or gall bladder infection? That's common in that age group. If it isn't lots better, or completely gone soon, I hope he will see the doctor for a diagnosis since any of those conditions can lead to more serious and acute problems. Meanwhile, I hope he can find a way to get more comfortable. (((Jeff)))

Phyl, I hope Jim can get up with the insurance adjuster soon. Pretty sunrise at The Flyway!

Clynn, wow on that Hoyt Sherman Place! It looks kind of institutional on the outside.  ;)  Yes, Zippo is in a lovey-dovey-I-love-my-mommy mode lately.  ;) :-*  She has been begging to be near, or on me, or kiss-kissing a lot recently!  ;D ;D I've been giving her lots of extra special gentle loving attention recently - she's so geriatric. And I think sometimes her limited vision (cataracts) makes her seek regular assurance from me, though she seems to be doing really well all-in-all lately, and stays pretty active, especially with her play area on top of her cage, where she loves to arrange pieces and parts of her "nest" - small rope and knotted cotton fabric strips that she "softens" and weaves in, and moves around. LOL. And she sometimes admonishes me if I decide to re-arrange it. Makes me think of Mom Decorah, and also of SWFL's Harriet - I would not want a sidekick. LOL. Sweet Harriet, wherever she is, I hope she's safe.  :-*  Is that your sweet Honey in the picture of the tabby on top of the laptop?  :-*  Wow on Ed's "affliction" during your honeymoon! That's awful! Glad it was at least short-lived. I shared your Scare the New Generation funny with my sisters.  I love conch!! Conch fritters are yum! I used to buy fresh conch and prepare conch salad after learning how from the cook at an Italian restaurant where I would go just for their conch salad! Never had a conch burger!  ;D ;D

Lani, like Aly, I did most things left-handed, but I played most sports right-handed, too - except for tennis was always lefthanded. I batted right and left-handed about equally! Golf was alwaysrighthanded, kicking and ball-throwing was lefthanded, catching balls was best lefthanded, but sometimes righthanded. I could only use scissors righthanded, and was totally inept with them in my left hand. LOL. Go figure. LOL. Lefties in a righthanded world makes for a mix, I think. It sounds like Aly used a mix of "handedness" too.  :D I love your Brooks Falls pics! LOL, Sadie's a wigglebutt for Mike coming home! I can just envision that!  ;D ;D :-*

KB, that sad Cedar Waxwing story and pic totally brought me down. It hurt my heart, and I wish I had not seen it.  :'( :'(

E4E, you really had a heat wave! I hope it's short-lived. The big cold front that has been moving across much of the country will arrive at my doorstep tomorrow night.

TSK, I agree about no diagnosis. It is disconcerting! I hope (((your friend))) will be able to find out more about what happened to her husband.  :(

Lani and Phyl, this morning, The Weather Channel did a more extended spot on the Katmai Bears and Fat Bear Week.  :-* They showed pics of several of the contenders - especially Grazer. LOL. And they did a pretty long, nice interview with a woman park ranger from Katmai Nat'l Park about the bears there, and Fat Bear Week's popularity. It was a really good interview!

Heading to the grocery store...
Later, Gators!

I can't fathom pre-determing who will possibly be upset by anything I post.
It happens in our eagle world constantly for example.

I rather thought of what it's like to be married and the love between these birds.

And there was a potluck dinner to introduce me to the family. Everyone brought something, the lasagna was for the kids, but I had to try it...  Of Course, Mike had a steak.

Lani - Lots happening in those 10 minutes!  Love that morning greeting, too cute.  Oh, Lani..yes, I can see why you were skinny as a child.  I could not eat that either!

Phyl - Thanks for the Fat Bear results.

baz - Thank you for thinking of Jeff, and other possibilities that I didn't think could be wrong. Never thought about gall bladder!

KB   On our local news tonight, 1,000 birds were found dead this AM after hitting windows at McCormick place convention center downtown.  They are very aware of migratory issues but had an event going on requiring them to keep the lights on - otherwise are all dark.  Very sad.

LANI   That must have been a real adjustment for you when you came to live in the USA.   :o

LISA    My friend's hubby had had Covid 4 times.  But was not positive in recent weeks prior to his death.  Not unlikely it had something to do with his death.

Good evening Beakers! 
If JPalm was with us he could give us a great education on Conchs!  That is what the native Key West folks are called!   They eat the meat and  use the shells in building, roads, etc!    I have enjoyed it in salads, like ambidextrous  Baz, and fried! 
Lady (F23) sure is a beautiful eagle!   She and Mighty M make a wonderful pair!  I wish them a healthy and successful year!

Clynn,  the H. Sherman place is something!  Can You imagine cleaning it?

Love the sound of the dump cake! 

Lori, thanks for the kk treats! Hope your  grandmother isgood!



Lisa. Are you. Going to see baby tomorrow?   I wonder if they are still doing lithotripsy for stones!   Makes it a lot easier to pass stones and not invasive!

Phyl, .... I guess you've never watched "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" on the Travel Channel.

Actually I have.  I watched the Travel Channel for decades.

 I'm more versed, experienced and educated than meets the 'eye', so to speak  ;)

I have two brothers who were in Viet Nam, Thailand and Philippines Islands , Hawaiian Islands, all countries that eat the uneatable because of cultural customs. Three uncles who did same tours  and including South Korea. They have eaten  dogs and cats, snakes, octopi, etc.etc .  Oh yeah! Let's not forget...Balut,  which  is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell. And that's the more appealing 'stuff'.  Balut is considered by Filipinos to be a delicacy.
I've heard all the talk about their experiences in those countries and all the  descriptions of the 'food' they've eaten  when rations weren't available.

Karen the dump cake sounds yummy and quick. I have to try it---but when will I have time?

Lisa so happy Jeff is doing better ;) . Pets to M and B .

Bazi Gosh! That  TWC piece on the Katmai Bears  ;)         Thanks---all's cool with insurance. Our  adjuster said damages  to the semi trailer  were all but 'nil' comparatively to the Pontiac. Sounds like the insurer of semitrailer might not file at all. We shall see.   Now we need to find a salvage yard that will give us top dollar on the Pontiac and Jim will have find himself a replacement so we can make a vehicle change .

Oh my goodness - our gauge at 1:15 said it was 100 and it was so super hot -we are not used to that.  We are used to 67-68 on the average!  Anyway, I made sure I watered all my potted plants and hand watered the front & back lawn.

LisaG - Glad Jeff is feeling better!  I think we are in our big heatwave before the cooler temperatures set in!

Phyl - You were kind about my mistake in posting to you when it should have been to Kb!  Thank you for letting me know!   You are talking to Clynn about Conch meat - I have never heard of it. ???

Tsk - Wish we lived near you so that we might be able to get a little bit of that wonderful applesauce!

Lani - Yaay! Mike should be home by now!  Is he home for the weekend?   No, we are not getting any smoke over here.   Love the graphic that reminds me of Michael Jackson's thriller!  His Thriller' vid was the best I have ever seen - love it - so much went into the making. ;D    I definitely respect Shannon's feeling about not eating anything out of the ocean or lake.
Awe, love how Mike's parents always were wanting to feed you! :)

Hi Bazi - Yes, with this heat wave, I kept my blinds & doors shut this morning to help keep the house cool and it worked!  Now, I have all the doors & windows open!

Tsk - Hard to imagine your cool temp & drizzle when we were so hot and we have no AC as we live in a cool part of the coast and normally do not need AC!  Anyway, these hot temps are not going to last.  We are going to have warm temps tomorrow and then cool down.  They are saying we may possibly have a chance of a shower on Tuesday!
Oh no, such terrible news about 1000+ birds found dead during their migration - I really am so sad. :'( :'(

Oldguy - Thank you so much for Al Stewart and Year of the Cat - I never knew what he and the band looked like and I've always loved the song!

Hi Karen!

King Salmon AK at some time UTC.

Pondering over a native brew. Stinking like a dead Caribou.

Now I'm no grizzly bear but I can just now clearly appreciate that is one heck of a harsh place to exist.

At some distance I saw a sow and her 2 cubs cross the River Lethe like it was a trickle.

The only other mammals we saw in 'the valley' when we where there.

An hour or 2 before we (Tyrone & I) looked at that same river and both said at the same time ..
I would not hazard a crossing of that river if a Porcupine riding on a Moose was running us down.
 
The weather that roars in from Katmai Pass.
Best have your real Weather Kit On here in The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.
Winds - calm to raging Cat One hurricane.
Temps - warm to chilly to cold - wild temp changes hourly.
Precip _ stellar severe clear to socked in fog/ blowing ash and pouring rain/snain.

Celestial, shit, just, I don't know, just makes ones jaw drop.

Oh U know it. Northing Lights Ripping with unbelievable shooting stars. 
 
Bob absolutely a good call on the full blown Goggles Pisano.
Having been here before at this time of year U hooked us up royally with local knowledge.
Invaluable.

Hand held weather doohickey 85 mph winds at 1 point (Cat 1) pumice, ash, silt sizzling on the Gore-Tex.

I don't own a cell phone, a total wallet racket IMHO and they don't work mostly where I go anyway. 

A Satellite type communicator posting from here back to the forum.   

I always back pack light, especially into the new, like sawed off toothbrush handle light.

Haven't humped any cameras on such treks since my minds eye started to know any better.

And some how I believe that Puff gets this more than I ever will.

Phyl, a very peaceful evening in the 365...  Lisa looking very pretty!  High 60 here today, better than the 56 yesterday! Oh, that cat drinking from the water fountain! If I want Harley to come I just shake the treat bag!

oldguy, love the Wilbur, Charlie and Amanda video!

BL, sounds like you are having an amazing time!

E4E, chilly here too, and I hope the Farmer's Almanac is wrong...

The 2023 edition of the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a “shake, shiver, and shovel” winter with storms and cold nationwide, and here to stay. The Pacific Northwest will be unusually wet and snowy, while the entire Southwest could see heavy rain and snow if an El Niño unfolds. The central and eastern regions can anticipate below-average temperatures, with a high chance of above-average snowfall. The Great Lakes and Midwest areas of the country, as well as central and northern New England, especially in January and February, can expect below-average temperatures and lots of snowstorms, sleet, ice, and rain.

Lani, love the Charlie Brown and Snoopy goodnight pic! Is Mike home now? He has been so busy with his job and travel lately! And the girls are okay, and all their critters?

The National Weather Service completely contradicts the Farmers Almanac with strong El Nino. Hmm?

This link goes back to 1900 depicting MN and Iowa and other upper midwestern states.
showing the pattern of higher temps and drier winter over 100 years.

I think I'll go with the National Weather Service this year! ;)..assuming El Nino continues to strengthen which I think it is.

SWFL Eagle Cam Article via Southern Living Magazine
Beloved Florida Eagle Cam Returns For Another Nesting Season With New Mate For Widower Bald Eagle
Buckle up, y’all. By Meghan Overdeep Published on October 3, 2023

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA EAGLE CAM/WWW.SWFLEAGLECAM.COM
Our favorite reality show is back with a brand new character. That’s right folks, the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam (SWFEC) is up and running for another season of high-flying bald eagle drama.
M15, who became a single father after the loss of his longtime mate, Harriet, back in February, has returned to the famous Fort Myers nest with a new female bald eagle (F23). Both have been seen delivering nesting materials and are showing strong signs of a possible courtship. But only time will tell what this year holds for the mighty M15 as this nesting season begins.
(https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/385780462_732574425577729_9034549229236425591_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_s600x600&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=6b662e&_nc_ohc=MvelvGHAJnYAX91I1jA&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&edm=AG48QRkEAAAA&oh=00_AfAcLyB3aBNbDEPJ_16r-GH_UxRt5UoZIg3_EmxlbxfhdA&oe=65258537)
For its highly anticipated 12th season, SWFEC now features a new setup including two ultra-high-definition 4k cameras “placed strategically in the nest tree.”

For its highly anticipated 12th season, SWFEC now features a new setup including two ultra-high-definition 4k cameras “placed strategically in the nest tree.”
Camera 1 will again have the functionality to pan and zoom in on the nest, “giving viewers an up close view into an eagle’s ecosphere.” Camera 2, the “Nest Cam” will feature eye-level footage of nest activity.
“Finally, a 360-degree video camera returns after sustaining damage last season during Hurricane Ian,” a news release proclaims. “This camera will also allow viewers to jump into the driver seat and experience real time 360-degree views of M15 and any future eagles in the nest.” 
(https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/380939539_726685162833322_627152350575809208_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s600x600&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=6b662e&_nc_ohc=w47PouWKbXEAX-7xDot&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&edm=AG48QRkEAAAA&oh=00_AfCYLK2_9xQJrKr-G_0TbYYUN1slQLSOfKBHPmdVEmAdqA&oe=652622D6)
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the bald eagle nesting season lasts from October 1 through May 15. Last year’s eaglets, E21 and E22, hatched in January.
Ginnie Pritchett McSpadden’s family has been hosting the live feed from their property since 2012. Bird lovers tuned in that first year to watch Harriet and her then-mate Ozzie 24/7. Harriet took up with M15 shortly after Ozzie’s death in 2015. Harriet and M15 were together for eight years before the female’s disappearance (and presumed death) in early February 2023.
With Harriet missing, thousands tuned in to watch M15 raise E21 and E22 on his own.  Despite the odds, M15 succeeded, and both eaglets fledged in March.
We can’t wait to see what this season holds for M15 and his nest. Visit SWFLEagleCam.com to watch this next chapter play out in real time.

kareng Saw that in all  the print -- he must have reloc during his "acting" years.

P

PSSS

Noone else has mentioned yesterday's copulation?? 

When I come upon a sweet pic capture I use it for a screen saver to see what's hapnin.  When the two were perchced on that same branch, M15 walked over and had his way with F23.   Looked successful, even tho early.  Then they went their separate ways.  I stayed on that view wondering if anyone else was watching.  Guess not.  Still no mention of it today.

Other curious view - at one point there was huge group of pp strolling down the boulevard, right to left.  Some were pushing strollers.  Many, many people.  After a break in the action the group came back strolling left to right.  SLow strolling; never saw anyone walking orjogging on the sidewalk, much less a big trail of people on the sidewalk.  On the return they took even longer because the groups were broken, scattered.  Some stepped off the walk over to the field/fence to see what they could see.  What actually first caught my eye was the traffic backup, jam, on the road.  Interesting!  No answers for any of this.  Anyone else?

I am siamese, if you please!    Such beautiful cats but not seen as frequently as they once were!  Lived with a few in my younger days!

Puff, glad Southern Living is covering some wild life!  Interesting the new amorous couple did not even stop for a cigarette before going shopping for building materials and house hold furnishings!   Good thing as their home doesn’t look flame proof!

Lisa, waiting for new pictures of Sydney this afternoon!  Clynn, you should have some pictures this weekend, sometime!

Low 80s and overcast!

Grab the Bull by the Horns by Jack Zhi - A peregrine falcon grips a brown pelican with its talons. Jack Zhi / Bird Photographer of the Year 2023

This year’s winning entry shows the dramatic moment a female peregrine falcon attacked a brown pelican, while both were flying in southern California. The falcon, which can dive at approximately 200 miles per hour, was protecting her nest from the larger bird that had gotten too close.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

My UNC Tarheels are winning at halftime. Yay!  :D

Lani, I see the KU Jayhawks are playing now, too, so I will check on that game when I'm through posting here. Mmm, I love Eggs Benedict with asparagus in the Hollandaise on top, too! I want some!!  :D

Lori, thanks for sharing the news and pics from SWFL Eagle cam and nest.  :-*  All good wishes to Mighty M15 and possibly his new F23 mate.  :-* :-*  Cute Halloween kitties.  :D

Lisa, I'm glad Jeff is feeling better. Awww... look at your sweet baby girl, Sydney! She's such a cutie, and I think she looks like Bradley!  :D :-* :-* :-*

T40, that PEFA/Brown Pelican photo is incredible!! I hope the Pelican survived without serious injury though.  Seems like a PEFA would know that a Pelican is no threat to its nest or eyasses.  Must be automatic built-in response for defense of territory.

Karen, glad the pile of pine tree debris was picked up on the nearby curb. Hope the other pile will be soon. Dangerous to block view of traffic. Yes, JPalm lived in Key West long enough that he might've qualified as a true Conch. I first ate conch in Key West on my honeymoon!

Tig, I saw Iga knocked out Coco. Not unexpected, really. Coco is young, but she is so good, and always improving. I think she will win many more tourneys, and more majors, for sure.

Clynn, I hope you're having a good weekend... any plans with any of the kids this weekend? Thanks for the Almanac's predictions for this winter!

E4E, I hope you're getting a bit of a break from those high temps today! It's rough to not hve A/C when it's that hot. I use your same approach of closing blinds and doors and drapes to help block the heat and sun. It makes a huge difference! And I use the opposite approach in Winter to get some "free heat."  ;) :D

Oldguy, got cards tonight?

BrokenLug, wow. Just WOW!! What a place! AWESOME you got to go and see and experience that!!!  :)


Peace. The World Needs Peace.

The 2023 edition of the Farmers’ Almanac; Munchkins snaps were fun. Any on the horizon?  :)

KB TWC looks better for you; 'pet you horsey' is too cute  ;)

Lisa tks for the Sydney snaps,  cutie in cute footies

Lori thanks for sharing  Southern Living Mag's  piece on SWFL Eagle Cam wonderful the periodical is spotlighting wildlife.   Oh! I have that same 'Dracula Kitty' on Pinterest!  Still munching on the do-nots from the other day.

Tig good luck with your garden

T40 tks for sharing Jack Zhi / Bird Photographer of the Year 2023 photo--awesome; enjoyed the videos --- Especially Michael Jackson kitties,  'Perfect neighbor' kitty side splitting RxCKSTxR Comedy and Eagle Zoom

Baz, I knew we had something in common!  Honeymoon in Key West. Eating conch!  Had a bunch of shrimp as well!   Lol

The 6 ft. Plus wall of pine trees that made exiting from my drive way a hazard was removed last week or the first of this week.  The top of the tree from across the street  that blocked two streets  was moved Friday morning long with a small pile of stuff some one put there. It  is all finally off my property and my lawn guy checked the sprinkler heads yesterday and said they looked good!  On to another project!

Oldguy, loved Wilbur and Charlie, as well as shelter cat and baby... I hope you have a good night with the cards.

Clynn, Mike is fine and so are the girls and pets... love the beautiful Sea Eaglets, sweet pic of them snuggled close.... the Black Eaglet is a beauty.... we've read in a couple of stories that we will have a wet winter, maybe starting mid-November. That would be great! ...  I hope you have a good weekend and get to see the munchkins.

Kb, cute dog and horse  :)

Lori, thank you for the beautiful pics and SWFL update! Love your Caturday pics, the black kitty strutting, LOL! The  Mocha Frappe looks delicious!

Tig, interesting about the use of chili powder.

Hi Puff, cute post about activities in and around SWFL nest.  :)

Eagles, Mike is fine. He's enjoying football, great games... And their AZ Diamondback won.

T40 the Michael Jackson gang approaching the dog. LOL! You can imagine what the dog is thinking. LOL!! Fun Caturday videos.... Beautiful winning photo of the peregrine falcon and brown pelican
Lisa, your precious baby girl Sydney looks like her daddy more and more each day! Love those beautiful eyes.  :-*

The Secretary Bird, a largely terrestrial bird of prey, endemic to Africa..

They are exceptional walkers, look at those legs!, but also great flyers...the tallest raptor in the world.

Happy Sunday all...and of course football day.

will be able to watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Vikings today as the game is not on our local Fox9 channel so it will be played in English!.

Just been slowly moving garden art inside and cutting back some perennials that are in my way to winterize.

Newman on site this morning, at sunrise on the nest box perch, then at 8:15 on the large feeding ledge.  Haven't seen him eating anything for a long time, but must be, just off camera.

Paddlewheeler, LaCrosse Queen, came through the locks heading upriver, turned around, and back through the locks between about 11:00 and noon.  Perfect day for a river cruise.

HI BEAKERS

Down for the count yesterday after Friday's Covid shot.  I will never, ever take another one. Horrible reaction.  Lots to catch up on. :o

BL  WOW  What a trip.  Sounds like you had some kind of weather and great guides.  How did Pip do in all of this?

OLDGUY   Loved the cats and baby videos  ;D

KB  Dog petting horse  ;D   Perfect name for the secretary bird  :)  I would never have guess it was a raptor.

CLYNN   Thanks for the summary on SWFL    Think I learned on FB they will from now on be named with the year the came to the nest F23/ M15

LORI   As always a delicious treat at the end of your post  ;D

T40   That 3rd one had some really wild kitties  ;D    Noah and the lions  LOLOLOLOL    That falcon/pelican was definitely a prize winner - Right place at the right time.

LISA  Sydney's eyes - Stunners  :-*

KAREN   Good to hear the hazardous pile has been removed.

Phyl, love the Nature 365, so eerie and peaceful... Newman and Lisa and the Flyway, all good. Peace, what we need most in this world... Will see the kids today!

kb, the Secretary bird looks like hot stuff in the bird world! I believe she is strutting!

Lani, I am also hoping that you have a wet winter in the Tonto Forrest! The kids will be here today, I have their 'prizes all lined up on the toy box. They love that Flarp (the noise putty that makes fart sounds) and it eventually gets yukky after they have had their hands in it . I got a great buy of 14 new containers of it on eBay, they get new ones today! They both go on and on playing with it, making farts!  Glad to hear Mike is good, does he go out of town again soon?

tsk, oh no, and you didn't have any reaction to the previous shots? Well, that's interesting on SWFL naming the eagles! I bet the watchers will still call F23 Lady. I had to go back and look, I didn't think M15 appeared that long ago, I thought the name was because he was the 15th male to court Harriet. But it WAS 2015 when he appeared!

T40, thanks for all the good entertainment, funny! Loved the Beat it! and the Tony Baker Voiceover!  What a picture of the falcon and the pelican! I hope both flew off...

Lisa, Sydney is going to be a real beauty! She just looks so sweet!

Lori, thanks for the goodies! Hope you bring more today! Miss ya!

karen, finally the yard is free of the tree pile!

baz, I really miss having the Munchkins on Wednesdays! They will be here today!

Hi Puff!

Tig - Sparrows! ::)

Lori - Like the 'caturday' gifs yesterday!

LisaG - Darling pic of Sydney!  Cute little autumn printed outfit!  Happy you had a nice visit  :)

T40 - Amazing photo of Peregrine Falcon & Pelican.

Baz - Yes, we are getting a break today from those high temps! :)  We were able to feel cool air through our open windows during the night!

Lani - Sounds like a nice weekend and that Mike is enjoying some good games!  :)   Glad the girls are fine. :)

Kb - Never seen a bird like that - and that it is a raptor!  Good job in how you've been preparing for winter - you are quite a working girl!

Phyl - Your temp is much cooler today!  Like Nature's night observation.  Beautiful MS Flyway River cam pic  :)

Tsk - Yikes on the covid shot reaction - thank you for saying what you did about it. 

Clynn - Yaay happy you will see the Munchkins today - and they will get some new Flarp!   Glad you looked into M15, as I wasn't aware that he appeared in 2015 - good to know!! ;D

OG - Did you have cards last night - if so, hope you did well!

T40 - Wow, the falcon and pelican pic!  Looks like that falcon is banded, too!

baz - I am glad Jeff is feeling better, too.  He didn't want to get too close to Sydney tho, just in case it wasn't kidney stones and maybe a 24hr stomach bug? 

Phyl - Thanks for kind words on Sydney.  :D Thanks for the 365.

Lani - I see ALOT of Bradley in her, but in certain pics she looks like Kelly. 

kb - The Secretary Bird, very pretty.

tsk - Thank you for kind words on Sydney.   :)  Oh no, sorry about the Covid shot.  I hope you are feeling better now after the reaction.

clynn - Thanks for kind words on Sydney.  :)  Saving that recipe, looks yummy!  Smart cars  ;D  Those things just never looked safe to me!  Hit from behind by a tractor trailer, and you go rolling down the highway like a pinball!

Tsk, what brand of covid shot and what kind of reaction!  Am getting ready to make an appointment and just curious!   Rather have one or two down days from a reaction than a week plus of tge disease, I am thinking!  I HAD A SLIGHT 2 day reaction to the rsv vac and read it was my body getting ready to fight the virus!   Sorry and I did wonder where you were!

57 degrees here at 9 am!  Brrrr!   Going to 74 today and tomorrow to 78!  Then, 70s to 80s and so it goes for a while!  Get warmer clothes out!

Well, you reap what you sow, so the saying goes!  Tig has baby grass!   Yea,

Clynn, have fun with the kiddies today!

Have been meaning to say that I never watched the cartoons you have been talking about!   I know about them but since I am older than dirt I was too old when they came out!

Off to do some things before I check in with a few football games and throw in a small load of laundry!

Hi Tig, Puff  :)

Eagles It's nice having Mike home. He was extra tired after this trip... and we're finally able to spend some time talking and catching up with what's going on.... We're having a cloudy morning with light rain. It finally feels like fall. I hope your temps will become cooler. You and Kris have a nice day too.  :-*

Clynn, dying of laughter over here! Your fun day you have planned with the kids! Mike will be home or in AZ at least until the 5th of November, then he goes back to Louisiana for the work week.... love the owls.

{{{Hugs Karen}}} just read Clynn's post to you about the pick up of the tree pile. YAY! Enjoy your cooler temps for a bit.

{{{Hugs Kb}}} Love the Secretary Bird strutting its stuff!  As the KC Chiefs might be doing today too! ;D

Baz, I knew we had something in common!  Honeymoon in Key West. Eating conch!  Had a bunch of shrimp as well!   Lol

The 6 ft. Plus wall of pine trees that made exiting from my drive way a hazard was removed last week or the first of this week.  The top of the tree from across the street  that blocked two streets  was moved Friday morning long with a small pile of stuff some one put there. It  is all finally off my property and my lawn guy checked the sprinkler heads yesterday and said they looked good!  On to another project!

Karen, great minds think alike.  ;D  I'm sooo glad I got to "do Key West" while it still had all its funky flavor, before it was so crowded and commercialized.  I also spent a Thanksgiving holiday there with my parents about 10 years before returning on my honeymoon! The honeymoon trip was a lot more fun!  ;) ;D  Glad all that storm debris is gone now, and your sprinkler system is a-ok!

CLYNN   I thought the same thing about the naming but 2015 was only 7 yrs ago and that seemed too long to me but must be right.    Yes I react to most boosters and vaccines but not as bad as this one..  Screech owls  Baby so cute trying to get a peek at the world beyond.   Flarp  ::) ::)   Have a fun day - What's for dinner?

LISA  Back to normal today.  I know that because I wanted coffee this AM  LOLOL

TIG   I think most people do great -My SIL at best feels a bit achy and tired.  You'll be fine.  I reacted badly to shingles and the first 2 Covid but am used to the flu shots now  LOL

KAREN   My Covid shots in the beginning were Pfizer  - this one was Moderna.  Don't know if that had anything to do with it.  Pfizer doesn't have one yet I'm told.

LANI  Love that natural sculpture and the wonder of nature at work.  :)   Good to hear Mike will be "home" for a couple weeks.

{{{Tsk}}} Just read your post as I was typing this one. But still...  so sorry to read about your  bad CoVid reaction.    🙏 's  for a speedy recovery
  I've read lots about this new vax that's contradictory. Enough to give one pause.

CLynn  Yeah! A visit from the Munchkins , Sydney and Erin. No doubt you'll have loads of fun. Looking forward to some snaps .  Sooooo funny  'Smart car' and farts.
Eastern Screech Owls photo another funny. Thanks

E4E I think this past weekend will have me thinking thick  socks in the house  instead of slides. 'Our'  Indian Summer  here in Tenn, may have arrived last week--- instead of later this month. Enjoyed your AM gif

Lisa macaroons and hot cocoa  :) .   Maggie's put on 2lbs this past week---finally found  a tuna formula that sets easy on her tummy---the Hills kd in Tuna/veg stew.
She looks great  ;)

Tig/Camper sure hope you two do well with the new CoVid vax. Please let us know which manufacturer you recieve and how y'all do with it.  Oooops. Just saw that  Tsk answered that.

Karen hurrah that pile of tree limbs is gone.  Have fun watching the games today.

Hi Bazi

Howdy Beakers!  :)

((TSK)), oh gosh, I'm so sorry you had a bad reaction, and glad you're much better today! Pfizer does have a new covid shot! Both Moderna and Pfizer's new Fall covid shots were approved at the same time, the 2nd week of September.  I get my new covid shot this coming Thursday. All of mine, so far, have been Moderna, and the one I'm getting Thursday is Moderna, also. Hope you're feeling 100% soon!

Clynn, I want one of those apple maple blondies!! LOL on the Flarp! There was nothing more fun when I was a kid than making all different kinds of fart sounds with other kids - non-stop hilarity! We had the Whoopee cushions of course, and we all learned how to make those sounds using our armpits and "knee pits."  ;D ;D :o  Wish we had Flarp back then - it would've been so much easier!  LOL! Have a blast with the Munchkins today!  :D

Lisa, does that mean Jeff is all back to normal now? I hope he's all better.  :)

Lani, I love that pic of the beautiful emerging Monarch and the natural materials small child watching.  :)



I have the Saints v. Patriots game on behind me - just checking on it from time to time. It's been a one-sided game so far, in favor of the Saints.  I'll be watching the KC Chiefs' game, which starts after the Saints' game, and will be pulling for the Chiefs.  I'm a big Coach Reid, and Mahomes, and Kelce fan! Taylor won't be there, so no Traylor or Swelce camera shots during the game today. LOL!  :D

Have a good afternoon, Beakers!  :)

Enjoy that warmth.  I spent 3 hours outside - had a hot chocolate when I got in.  Got chilled especially when I clean the fountain of leaves.  Had to unclog it.  Now need a hot tea.  Low 50s here.  Closer to 60 tomorrow.

PHYL   Nice collection of fabric pumpkins  :)   Yes, my instinct was not to get his vaccine but I did anyway.  I'm angry with myself. Wish my doc would be more informed.  Good news for that miraculous Maggie gaining 2 #  Very significant in cats,

BAZI  I'm back on track today and catching up  LOL

KAREN   Our Walgreens did not offer Pfizer :-*

KB   Sure do wonder where that cabin creator found such perfectly rounded pieces.  He sure made it look easy :)

Lani - What a cute lil morning greeting.

tsk - Coffee is the first sign, that all is right in the world!  Glad you are feeling better.  :-*

Phyl - Glad to hear that Maggie has gained a lil weight. Cute fabric pumpkins!

baz - Jeff grilled steak, while I did the baked potatoes, and sauteed some mushrooms.  Oh, he had his Rum & Coke, so, yea...back to his normal self.  :D

Had a set of Lincoln logs as a kid!  I really liked them
No word from old guy!  Wonder how cards went! 
Also waiting for pictures from Clynn!   Benn a few days since we have seen them!  Well, longer than that!

Tig - I know you aren't asking my opinion, but I got my last covid shot in Nov. 2022 (so I've had at least 4 shots, maybe 5 already) and my doctor (who I saw in Sep), told me that he would not recommend another shot at this time.  I know everyone is different, but after what happened to Tsk, I do not plan on another shot anytime soon - maybe not ever.  I do wish you all the best, as everyone needs to do what they feel is right for themselves. :)

Lani - Glad to hear that Mike is home for a while before heading to Louisiana!  You guys enjoy your time together.  :)  Thank you Lani, we've had a nice weekend. :)

Hi Baz - Hope all goes well with your shot this Thursday - I think more folks these days are having second thoughts about it.  I have some family & friends who are not going in for it.  I really do wish you all the best  :)

Phyl - We just had our 'Indian summer'  during the last several days - we had the hottest temps in our area in such a very long time.   Yaay - Maggie gained 2 lbs!! ;D

Kb - Liked the vid of the 'lincoln' log cabin!

Puff - Temps are getting cooler for you - better get out your sweater! :)

LisaG - Yumm! Grilled steak - great dinner!  Glad Jeff is feeling much better! ;D

Everyone getting the Quadrivalent Flu, RSV and latest CoVid vaccines---sincerely hope you have no reactions  or especially,  after effects .

E4E We have pretty much decided not to get the latest CoVid vaccine. Esp for Jim as he has AFib with many sources saying that this new CoVid can in otherwise
healthy folk can produce serious heart issues---what will this do to one who does have heart issues?  At any rate, I printed the Nat'l Geo digital piece  and will
take it w/me when I visit my doc/s .  I can hear them now---well it's just a suggestion.  ;D  How true-how true.
Like the 'batty' good night.

Tsk   Relieved you're 'normal' again and the coffee pot is perking.   Indeed, Maggie is full of surprizes. Her little mind is getting 'spotty' though. But she still knows where her heart is.  ;D 
 ;D
Hi CLynn bet it was a fun after noon w/ Munchkins and Flarp!

Lisa good news w/ Jeff back to his 'normal' self. I saw a DIY for pumpkins using clothes dryer accordion venting.

KB Lincoln log cabin was interesting. Maybe a 'kit'?    Secretary bird...I've been watching about a dozen cams in Africa covering rivers, watering holes in the open grasslands and savanna of the sub-Saharan for two years  And have on a couple of occasions snapped them as the cam pans. Don't think I'd want to be very close as they stand about 4'3", that's almost eyeball to eyeball for a 5'2.5" human.  :o

BL tks for the map; look at those push pins! Some 'trekking'  ;)  After you get a good snooze...You must tell us all about it!

Karen, I thought you would like that Saints game result.  ;) :D  The Pats had a rough day on the gridiron.

Lisa, oh yay! So glad Jeff is all better!  :) Yum on your grilled steak dinner!

TSK, yay! Glad to hear you're back on track!  :)  I missed a couple days of walking recently, but I guess that's not too bad to only have missed 2 days since I started back with that. I guess I've picked up my pace a bit, because I was having to walk farther this week to make it a full 30-minute walk, and I wasn't even trying. LOL. So I've added 5 more minutes.

BL, quite a memorable trek! Glad you were able to go.

E4E, thanks.  I'm glad your really hot temps have come down some, and you got a cooler breeze.  :)

Karen, WOW!  Saints did well! Congrats!

Tig, good luck with your shot

Kb Cool log home. I had log blocks as a kid. Can't remember how I got them..... I think there's a log home company in Oregon that builds homes like that... sorry about the game.

Puff, I saw the cars on SWFL cam too. I thought the same.

{{{Tsk}}} glad you're feeling better. Mike had a reaction last year to the booster for work. He's not going to have it this year. His doctor agrees.

Lisa, glad to hear Jeff is feeling better, delicious dinner for you both tonight!

BL, you're doing a lot of traveling on your trip. You must be exhausted. As Oldguy wrote, you must be having a blast.  ;D Looking forward to pics!

Eagles, We had a problem with printing out Mike's notes from this past work week. That ended up taking most of the day. But, the games were good.  ;D ... we all have to do what's best for our bodies.  :)

Good night!

Morning and Happy Monday.

Ollie toenail day...

What a night...amazon delivered a package to my south neighbor, so I ventured out in the dark at midnight with flashlight and retrieved without issue.

But, noticed my other neighbor had left their van sitting right on the property line between us still running after then 5 hours...the smell was thick and as we now run the furnace I wondered why I had a headache!
The air intake is on my west side above my basement window where I sleep.

Why would someone run what I was told, an inoperable van for 5 hours I wonder.

I didn't get a lot of pictures yesterday, Ed took the kids to the park and forgot to take any!! A little Flarp action here by Talon, and Bella's hairdo (I wanted so bad to fix it!!) Bella is going through a real sassy stage right now, no doubt brought on by starting school and not getting all of the attention she was used to.

Lani, earlier this summer I picked up a Whoopee Cushion at the Dollar Tree, Talon was relentless with it! He eventually blew it up, and stomped on it with his feet, no doubt planning for the biggest fart ever...the seam split and the Whoopee Cushion was no more...  ;D ;D  Oh no, computer problems, I hate having computer problems. :o :o Nice that Mike will be home for a while!

baz, as long as you don't give up on the walking you're doing good! Sometimes we need a short pause so we can jump back in!

Phyl, beautiful Autumn mantle! So glad to hear that Maggie has put some weight on, that is a very good sign! Peaceful Flyway sunrise... and a beautiful 365!

Lisa, Jeff is good and that is a good thing!  It said it got to 70 yesterday, but it still felt chilly, it was windy.

kb, beautiful picture of the Goshawk. Beautiful but such a killer of nestlings... The Goshawk is what has driven the ospreys and other birds away from some of the cams in Estonia. I know it's nature....  I am assuming the package you retrieved from your neighbor was yours?  ::) ::)  You must have received the Amazon email and noticed the porch wasn't yours! Same thing happened to me once but I didn't know whose porch it was!  Weird about the van, I think I would have had the police check it out if it was running that long and close to my house.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

41 degrees   :o  Heading to mid 50's

LISA    Good to hear Jeff is OK.

BL   Quite and extensive trip to say the least  ::)

BAZI    Good progress on your walking program .  Amazing how the build up of endurance sneaks up on you.  Two goals for me today;  Take a brisk walk and cut down the remaining perennials in my garden.  If the sun is out I do not mind the cold.

KB  Isn't that goshawk beautiful  :o   Bet they forgot to turn it off?  Running out all the gas??  So terrible for the air around your house.

CLYNN   Here's how Bella will learn how to live in society.  big changes in the years to come.  Will be fun to see how she changes.   Good advice about KB contacting the police.  Gosh, what would it be like to live in that little house, or is it a church by the mountains?

I suppose they drank too much and forgot...?...I don't know how big a van gas tank is, nor how long it would take to empty it. But thankfully, someone turned it off around midnight.

clynn - I rewound my surveillance cam video and saw the amazon truck parked in front of my neighbor's house and watched the person deliver my package to his front step...then confirmed with a track my package photo from earlier.
I planned on waking up my neighbor with a phone call when it was shut off pretty quickly thereafter.

Lani - Sorry for the printing issue you guys were having - but glad it seems you got all the notes for Mike printed. :)   Like your praying for peace 'nite' pic.

Kb - Beautiful picture of Goshawk.   Strange about the van running for hours - they must have forgotten about it. :o  Okay, just read that someone turned it off!

Phyl - Cute kitty this morning!  Liked the autumn twilight in Nature - so peaceful.  Cute Columbus Day gif.

Clynn - So nice to see the Munchkins and how much they are growing!  Talon with the Flarp Lol!  Bella's hair - still so pretty!! ;)   Like the Poland picture and beautiful bird!

Tig - Yes I agree - thank you  :)

tsk, I did an image search on that building in the picture from Poland, it is indeed a church! I had to translate from Polish to English; St. Anne's Church in Jaworzyna Tatrzańska with a view of the Tatra Mountains  You are so right, starting school is the first step into becoming a member of society! Some get it without trying, some have to try very hard, and some never get it right!

E4E, yes, the Munchkins are growing fast! Talon will be 9 next month, he was only 1 when Erin and Sydney started dating. Where does the time go... We had steak on the grill yesterday too!

Oldguy, Sounds like the cards weren't with you, but a great time celebrating your stepson's birthday. Many belated birthday wishes are sent to him.... thanks for the memories of the young LeAnn Rimes! Loved her yodeling! Great Caturday videos "We Will Rock you!"  ;D.... Fall has arrived for Maru  :)

Hi Eagles, Puff  ;D

Tsk, Take care while working outside and walking. I'll be bringing a couple of potted plants indoors.

Tig, Oldguy thanks for the reminder this is Indigenous Peoples' Day  :)

Clynn, beautiful Fall morning pics.... The munchkins look wonderful! Miss Bella is becoming more independent and finding her own way. The Coleus plant on the patio is gorgeous! Will you bring it in for the winter? ... I didn't realize Talon was 1 when Erin and Sydney started dating. That's wonderful, they have a deep bond.... love the Welcome Wagon Committee at SWFL nest!  ;D

Baz, Having no grandchildren of my own, I can only imagine what Lil Bro and your twin nieces/nephews would make of the FLARP! I'd love to see Lil Bro's face! LOL!  ;D ... KC Chief Mahomes said Kelce is battling through the injury and knew he would play through the pain. He also said, He tended to stay away from the big Tight End because he's " a mean guy" when he's hurting.  ;D ... We've hooked my wireless printer up to Mike's computer. So, I'm his "FedEx" girl till we can get the printer fixed or buy another. It's a Canon with the large ink tanks.... Take care with your walking program.

Kb, gorgeous Goshawk..... you lost me when you wrote "amazon delivered a package to my south neighbor, so I ventured out in the dark at midnight with flashlight and retrieved without issue." I thought why would you go out in the middle of the night to pick up your neighbor's package. Unless they were out of town. I had to read another post before I found out it was your package. LOL!  ;D... our postman doesn't take pics of the Amazon packages they deliver or leave in our community mailbox. I have to check the tracking ID on my Amazon order. ... FEDEX and Walmart are the only delivery service that take pics of the package left at residences.... you do have strange neighbors. I would have called the police on the car.

Only 63 at 10,  nice little warm up tomorrow. 
Tig, every thing I have read is the same as what you have posted!   I would feel a lot safer if folks would get vaccinated to stem the tide of another epidemic!  Since this is a new strain of covid, like the flu is every year, previous vaccinations will not protect you.  Only saying what I have read and all of us will do as we please!
Hha not coming today! Do not know when I will see her again!   She is the one who has the ill mother!  They said they would try to get someone and I said, never mind!   I have a load of laundry in, made a big breakfast for lunch, showered and washed my hair, and will see what I have to order in and what I want to save for tomorrow.   Biggest issue will be rolling an overfilled garbage can to the curb and getting back in without falling!  My friend across the street is out of town.
Was happy about the Saints, and da Bears!   Follow 4 teams, those and  the Packers and Washington!   And, the poor Cubbies!
Going to clean the kitchen. 
Clynn,  Bella will figure out how to fit into the world and do it with long hair in a room full of bobs!  Time flies when you get ikder!

Have a good day!

LOL KB, no problem. I thought I missed the part where you were helping a neighbor or it was your package. So I went back through your posts. Amazon doesn't deliver our packages to our door, the USP mail delivers to our door or community box. Twice this year my package went to the wrong mailbox. I had to wait a weeks to receive my item. Because sometimes the mail woman puts it in a mailbox where the homeowner is a part time residence. Never to be checked again until homeowner returns. Tracking the ID is the only way I know package was delivered. But they just say packaged delivered and left in mailbox. They assume it's your mailbox, but it's not. And there are 40 mailboxes at one Community mailbox.  :(

CLynn Time does 'fly' ...nice Munchkin snaps as always, Talon w/Flarp, so that's what it looks like. Never heard of it before you mentioned.  Bella still is cute and photogenic even with her mussed hair-do.
very nice looking church in the  Tatra Mountains of Poland ; nice little snap of Red Bellied Woodpecker. Tks for photo update NEFL - Gabby & V3 and  Trisha's SWFL Eagles  snap via  Dick Pritchett Eagle Cam cute caption too

Tig tks for link to the UK article on Native Americans/Columbus myths; Indeed one sifts through all the facts and decides for oneself -

KB don't blame you...fuel fumes are one of the worst forms of air pollution and a real health issue. I get those delivery alerts for my Amazon orders.
Really appreciated their delivery photos.

Tsk  :)

E4E pretty Autumn greeting; got a tenderloin calling for a Saturday dinner on the grill  :)

LANI   You're Mike's "FedEx girl"  LOLOL  Our Amazon deliverers always take a porch pic and notify my computer it has been delivered. But I see now that you procedure is different in the HOA.  Boy that gets tricky when put in another mailbox.  What if it is too big to fit in the box?   That Lucky is one big boy!!

KAREN   Don't you dare do that garbage can with a risk of falling.  Ask another neighbor for this one time. :-* :-*

Lani - gotcha...it's so different here. I probably have packages from amazon delivered on my front porch 3-4 times a week..I can track how many stops away it is. I get a picture and a notification when delivered so I'm usually up and grab it immediately.
Last night it was after dark and wrong house...picture was of yellow house.

I'm diligent as there are many porch pirates in my city, those who actually follow amazon trucks and grab packages immediately.

I fell asleep before they came last night, at around midnight woke up, saw it was delivered but not at my front door so I investigated and Bravely walked out to my neighbor's house and grabbed my own package.
I don't speak to him. Also a bad alcoholic and too long a story, so I risked venturing out in the dark to get it.
Worked out.

Yes,Phyl - I wasn't happy to have my home filled with CO, not enough to trigger my detectors but I did have a headache....I never get headaches.
I will talk with her about it next time I see her.

KB - it is illegal to leave a running car on the street unattended in Minnesota - anti theft law...

Looked up Flarp - it is a form of silly putty.  Also ran across this info

Can you use Flarp to clean car?
YES, laugh all you want ........ but FLARP works well as a Cleaning Gel for your vehicle .....for Cleaning your center console/cup holder ....for cleaning Car Vents, PC, Laptops, Cameras, keyboards and more..
Caution - use only on non-porous surfaces - it will stain fabric.

Lani - was Mike's printer inkjet or laser?  Since your printer is color injet, he could get a laser B/W and have cheaper cost/page.  I have had great results with the Brother Multi function printers.  Amazon Prime sale starts tomorrow and have a Brother MFP on sale at 189.98 ( HLL2390DW) It is the current model of my 7 year old printer with more features

Tig, I read the same info on the CDC vaccine info website, related to more recent studies and findings about that. It also said that the heart-related issues, that you described, happen at a higher rate in the overall population than in the vaccinated. Of course, people with certain heart-related issues should always discuss with their own doctors first. Some people have health conditions that may exclude them from being a candidate for the vaccine. This, of course, is true with every vaccine and medicine.  You and I have our covid shot appointments on the same day.

KB, hope you have a carbon monoxide alarm, or two, to alert you if there is a build-up of that carbon monoxide in your home since it is odorless and invisible - need them on all floors, and definitely in or near your bedrooms - wherever those alarm systems advise to locate them. Maybe you already have them, but based on your exprience last night, and also your heating and water heating system type, it would be important to have them. There's no way to know if a carbon monoxide build-up is happening otherwise. People, and animals, just get drowsy, go to sleep, and don't wake up.

Lani, our Amazon pkgs are delivered exactly the same way yours are... and the same mis-delivery to the wrong mailbox at our mailbox kiosk happens, too - we have over 150 of them! When that happens, and people know it was delivered to a mailbox by the USPS, but not to their correct mailbox, they can call the post office branch for our zip code and tell them what happened, and ask the USPS to come and check the mailboxes to find the missing item and re-deliver it to the correct box. I have seen the post office employee searching through our mailboxes, looking for thos mis-delivered items before. You don't have to wait for the person who owns the mailbox with your item in it to discover it. Like you said, who-knows-how-long it might be for that! We also have many part-time residents in my townhouse community, and many fulltime residents say they get no regular mail, and only check their boxes once a week.

Jeff is off today, so we went to do a lil shopping first, and then out to lunch. 

BrokenLug - Thanks for taking us on your travels.  Cool map. 

E4E, baz, Lani and tsk - Thanks, Jeff is back to his ole self.  :)

Phyl - I will have to look that DIY up with the dryer vent.  I love sauteed mushrooms, too.  Thanks for the 365 amd Flyway pic.

kb - Beautiful goshawk!  Geesh, on your package and the fumes. 

clynn - Pretty pumpkin this morning.  Awww, there is the munchkins...great pics!  Tatra Mountains, Poland, beautiful pic.  Love that "serious meeting" pic from SWFL  ;D  So, is V3 the one for Gabby?  Lord, I hope so!

oldguy - Thanks for the videos, that LeeAnn Rimes can sing!  Birthday celebration dinner sounded like fun, but sorry about your cards!

Lani - Thanks for the bear study update.

karen - Ask someone else to help with that garbage can.

Thanks Baz.
Yes, that is the first thing I checked....all bedrooms is code for our city....along with fire/smoke detectors

What some people in the south may not realize?...is that our furnaces draw cold air (intake) from the outside to function..
When there is exhaust directly outside your home, it will intake that as well.

Luckily, I woke up..and then just coincidentally saw they turned off the van after running 5 hours with very little wind outside last night..
Otherwise, i would have woken her up to ask her to turn the van off.

some bounce
Had a good workout in the yard, pruning 1 honeysuckle, 3 alium, 1 large globe thistle, 300 day lillies, etc. Camper got the shower chair from the garden for me... I moved along, up n down, to save my knees. I also got smart and used the back door where there are railings at the steps to access the front porch to reach the top of the honeysuckle, instead of trying to climb the front steps where there is no railing.
Camper's son also came to rake the pine needles for us.... 6 large bags full.
Time to rest... then bake some Tig-caught fish. Yum.
Go Twins!

kb, I saw your later post after I posted to you before - that you have CO detectors - that's great!  ;)  As you know, just becaue it's code doesn't always mean it's a reality. LOL. Just as an aside,  ???  there's nothing about being from the South that makes people not aware of that kind of heating system. My knowing about those kind of heating systems is one of the reasons I even posted about that to you.  ;)

Clynn, LOL, I loved the pics of Talon and Miss Sassy, er, I mean, cute Bella!  ;) :D :-* :-* Loved the meeting of the Starlings at SWFL!

Lani, thanks for the Bear News! All the regulars there - Tasha and Lucky and All are looking healthily round!  ;D Maybe they need to have their own "Fat Bear" fundraiser!   :D :-* :-*  You're the Fedex Girl! LOL!

Karen, sheese, you did a lot! Glad you didn't have any issues. Don't you dare tackle that trash can situation! As God has been quoted (on many refrigerator magnets  ;) ;D ), "Don't make me come down there."  8)  Hope they get you another HHA for the days your regular one can't be there! Hugs!

Lisa, you and Jeff have a fun day out and about!  :)

TSK, pkgs that the USPS delivers to our mailboxes that won't fit in them, are locked in one of the key-lock larger package boxes, and the key to that box is placed in the individual's regular mailbox. Anything that doesn't fit in those boxes, or if those boxes are all in use, is delivered to the door of the home. I'm heading out for my walk now - I'm late!  :)

Oldguy, sorry about the no-good cards. Happy Belated Birthday to your stepsons!  :)


HAPPY MONDAY, ALL!  :)

Lani, thanks for the Bear report, their fur looks so shiny and thick! You want to just snuggle them...but that would not be wise...  ::) I hope your pay for being a FedEx girl is good! Mike wouldn't want you to have to go on strike!  No, I don't bring the coleus plants in, I always start fresh every spring. I like to try different varieties, they do so well on the deck! You can't really see the other one in Bella's picture! You can't really tell in the picture but the one on the left has dark red on its leaves. I always hate it when the first frost comes, they are gone immediately! Each pot has just 2 plants that were in 4" pots, from the Earl May Garden Center. They always have a good selection of different ones!

Lisa, yes, it looks like V3 is staying with Gabby! One of the admins had an interesting thought:

NEFL - Diana Lambertson, Admin
How could you not love this guy? He can't help it if he is not Samson. He reminds me a lot of Samson. I still not given up on the possibility this could be Spirit, Samson's brother.  Spirit would be turning six years old in December. The mods estimate Boomer's to be between 5 and 7 years old. It is sweet thought isn't  it?

DIY Silly Putty Ingredients
1 cup Cornstarch
1 cup Clear Liquid Soap (Method hand soap works best)
add Gel Colors (or food coloring) (not necessary if making to clean crevices in car!)
1 small bowl and spoon

baz, Miss Bella is a Sassy Pants but not a bad one until just recently!

tig, when we did our pine needles this spring we had 13 bags full!

Luv the 'folk' art autumn  to day

Lori Miss Destini's birthday today... too funny w/tiara and bubbly.    Happy Birthday  with purrs from Maggie! 'Hello Kitty' cake is fantastic.  Hope all is well w/ you and your family.

OLDGUY   I will note your info on printers - Think my inkjet of many years may soon see the graveyard so I will be ready.  Could Dr Michael Chua have talked any faster  LOLOL  Those new lenses could be in my future..

TIG  After hearing about your yard cleanup day I could hardly imagine you had enough pep to make your "caught" fish for dinner.  I was exhausted tonight after accomplishing much more than my 2 stated goals earlier today.  Tim cooked up some walleye from Whole Foods

PHYL  It's looking like Chunk has the definite edge in this contest. ;)  Very clever dryer vent pumpkins

BAZI   So when you take that key that's been placed in your mailbox to get the bigger package in a bigger storage box, what do you then do with the key - put it back in your mailbox? or just leave it in the big mailbox? or some sort of security drop?

LORI   So Destini is 9 today - WOW  Any special treats for dinner?

CLYNN   You do have a great selection of coleus choices in your area.  Maybe I'm not going to the right nursery.  Yours are beautiful.  Curious expression on that second pic of V3

This afternoon I rolled the garbage container to the curb stood out there for a few, surveying the street and walked back up the driveway and into the house!  No falls but I sometimes think I might look like an old sot!
I do not have co detectors here as everything is electric!   Have had oil and gas heat as well, but not in Ga.
I am curious as to why you do not use pine needles for mulch.  They are used all over the south.
Tsk, suppose you are watching the Packers!  Last time I watched it was z3 ti nothing.   

Happy Birthday Destiny!  You do not look a day over 5!🥰😀😜.  Enjoy your cake!

Oldguy - What a special way to celebrate your stepson's birthday with grilling burgers!! ;D  Bummer about not having a great night at cards - but you'll get 'em next time!!!

Lani - Thank you for the Bear news - appreciate the updates/info  ;D

Kb - Good for you in all you do - I admire your strength & determination.

Hi Phyl!

LisaG - Happy that you & Jeff had a nice day together; shopping & lunch! ;D

TSK, the keys for the larger mailboxes stay in the keyhole of their respective large mailbox when nothing is in the box. How does Tim usually cook walleye? Baked in the oven, or in a pan on top of the stove? I love fish. I haven't eaten walleye in a while though. We don't get it here very regularly.

Clynn, V3 is one handsome BE!  I think he could be related to Samson. Sigh.  :-*  Your coleus plants do so great there! Don't you hate it when they bite the dust after looking so beautiful.

Lori, awww, it's Miss Destini's special day!  :) :-*  I bet she had a fun paw-tay!  :D

Oldguy, I was in a dash to get out of the house for my walk when I was in Forum this afternoon. I need to go back and read your article about those new lenses. TSK's post reminded me!

Karen, you are daring! ;)  Glad you got your trash can out without any problem. LOL on your sot comment.  ;D I have thought the same here because sometimes when my vertigo is acting up, I don't walk very straight, and have said to my sister that I bet some of my neighbors wonder if I've been tippling.  ;D ;D

Karen, Good for you getting things done yourself, but please take care.... Do you think you could hire someone in the neighborhood to help you with small chores, like taking the trash bin out and bringing it back? If I was there I'd be glad to do it.

Tsk, There are about 25 community mail kiosks (thank you Baz  ;D) in our HOA. Our mailbox is at the end of our street.  ;D. We have 4 lg. bins for boxes, if the boxes don't fit or if the 4 bins are full, our postwoman will bring it to the door. And no pics are taken. I report the missing item to Amazon and post office. Sometimes P.O. will help, sometimes the post office will send the item back. Then I work it out with Amazon... The North American bears look great don't they! They're a good weight for the winter. Definitely not heavyweights like the Brown Bears of Alaska.  ;D.. I hope you've had a good day and feeling well.  :-*

Oldguy, thanks I read your post late afternoon and Mike will check out the Brothers printer sale on Amazon. He checked out the Brothers printers are highly rated.. He needs a color printer. He creates charts, graphs and designs... excited to hear about advancements in lens replacements. I need to watch it again...  I'm sending the video to Mike and friends. Thanks.

Baz, WOW! 140, you have a large community....  We do call our Post Office and I contact Amazon too. Sometimes the postal worker will help search for the package or they send it back. Or it will be placed on our doorstep. But no photos taken.... the Black Bears do look very healthy this year, though they are small when compared to the Alaska Brown Bears. {{{Baz}}} Tippling  ;D

Lisa, I hope you and Jeff had a fun day shopping and lunch out!  :)

Tig, a good day working outside and your well-earned fish for dinner! Yum!  ;D. YAY TWINS and Diamondbacks!  ;D

Clynn, yes, I'm quite happy to be Mike's Fedex girl!  ;D ... Gorgeous  plants, it would be heartbreaking to see them wilt after the first frost.  :(  ... but what a great place to buy them next spring.... I don't remember NEFL Samson having a sibling named Spirit. I remember sister Delilah. Maybe Spirit is from the following year.... what a great use for silly putty. I hadn't thought of that! ... I watched all the Our Gang shows. Alfalfa!  ;D

SED Eagles, Puff  ;D

Good night!

Lani, Spirit is from the 2018 NEFL nest, the other eaglet was Sky, here is a video of Spirit:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-uFnE0RgcE
Gee, I love hearing the eaglet squees in this video...it's music to our ears!  Yes, it's a bit sad when the annuals fall in the first frost, but I so enjoy them all summer long! My copper tub of impatiens was very pretty too, I moved it when I had the rose bushes planted in their old spot. I think the roses will need to be moves in the spring. They just don't get enough sun where they are now, I was very disappointed! Love the good night pic! And I absolutely love the picture of Norman and Milo! They are certainly a bonded pair! This is one of my favorite pictures of Max and Emma, my Siamese. They were very bonded, like Norman and Milo! Both went to the Rainbow Bridge in 2015.

baz, yes, I don't like it when the first frost gets my plants, but I will rebuild in the Spring! And yes, I like to think that V3 may very well be Spirit! Can't prove it...but can't disprove it... Peace!

karen, I would love to see a video of you rolling the trash to the street! Wait, maybe a neighbor across the street has a Ring doorbell and has a video! Will you check for me?  LOLOL! Good job though! I am sure you were very careful!

tsk, yes, we have several nice plant places around here, I always get my coleus at the same place, the Earl May Garden Center. It's a semi-local company, only in IA, KS, MO and NE. The funny we heard when we moved here, go to the Earl May on Merle Hay (it's next to Merle Hay Road) (Merle Hay was the first Iowa serviceman to die in WW1). Just as funny as the Kum & Go gas stations!

Phyl, I like that dryer vent pumpkin, I may have to try that! Thank you for reminding me, I have a pumpkin made from a small wind turbine! I will have to go find it and put it out! I will take a picture when I find it!

MORNING BEAKERS

41 heading to 59  Brrr. 

KAREN   The Packer game was not televised here - at least not on any channel I have.  I see they lost tho.  Doing about as bad as the Bears..LOL

BAZI  Tim loves to cook fish and he sautes it olive oil and a little butter - and has several seasonings from the spice rack out on the counter - I don't watch but stay out of his way  LOL  He then sautes onions in the same pan which he likes over his fish - I do not.  When I cook I too saute in olive oil and a little butter seasoned with lemon pepper, and 21 seasoning salute from Trader Joes.  I love to bake it tho with the same seasonings but spread olive oil on fish first.  Then lay thin lemon slices over the top.

LANI   Why didn't I realize Norman and Milo look so much alike   ::)  Love the good night pic  ;D

CLYNN  " Earl May and Merle Hay"   LOLOL   Kum and Go gas station - Only in Iowa  LOLOL    Civil War cassette  - sure seems like it these days.  ::)

PHYL  Love that beautiful fall bench display.      I want the pumpkin on the very top shelf  ;) ;)

Tsk I saute fish in olive oil and maybe a little butter with lemon, etc as well!  Also use  Zatarain fish fry and olive oil!  Light spicy coating!   No Walleye  here. Saw tge Pack finally lost last night!  Now, the Bears did beat Washington last week, 40 to 20! 
Mt neighbor, across the street will take my garbage container to the street but she was out of town this weekend!  She met her sister and her family, her kids and I am noT sure about her husband, north of Atlanta for the forth and last spreading of her mothers ashes!  This has been going on a long time. I do not want bits and pieces left all over the place!  Lol.
Anyway, the short walk was good for me!   Yes, Phyl, the container has wheels!  We have Waste Management here as do many of you!
Getting ready for hha today and a day of some quick shopping!

karen - Glad you did not fall dragging that can to the curb! 

E4E and Lani - It was a nice day of lunch and shopping.   :D

I've been following the saga of Karen and the garbage.  Michael did help/will help if needed (usually the yard bags no wheels  >:() But he's still under watch from his wipeout.  But only a couple bags to go before it's all gone for the season.  Use a two-wheeler to roll out the bags.  Cans are on wheels.

Plus, I mentioned before, the garbage picker-upper saw me with my friend the stick and now helps me.  Going down to the curb I put the stick sticking it out of the can going down and then I have stick when I finish to walk back up.  It's a long walk and slanted back up.  After he's done with the pickup/pickups he sooooo nicely gets out of his truck and rolls the empty cans back up to the garage for me.  I think that's just so nice! 

Later -

Karen - I've been here for 51 years, think it's the 4th garbage company - getting the extra help and just having someone notice is a timely treat.  LRS is the name now.  Waste Management bought out the last company and only maybe 5 or 6 months sold out to this LRS.  Even came out with special sizes for seniors and less cost.  Now have different lid carts for the recycle - I like that they care about those of us who care about reclycing.

Tsk Never had Walleye. But,  I'd eat fish either your way or Tim's  :)

Karen have seen Zatarain fish fry on Publix shelves-think I'll  try it. One can never have too much olive oil.  Yes. Waste Management is nationwide---our day is Thursday  ::)  However, so glad you have folks to help w/garbage. Hope you have a good day shopping.

E4E nice autumn greeting today.  Cooler temps for you.

Lisa  crafts are 'okay' . I have a seasonal collection that takes an entire attic---finally moved half into the guest room closet--for easier access.  ;)

Weasel  Good to see you today.   Didn't know that WM had a senior program for taking one's garbage to curb. That's nice . 

Puff Yes. WM is now LRS. No visible change though. Well, if they have a senior rate---where is it?  ::)  Guess like all else and must call to get it applied. Out
here that'd be like pulling teeth to get applied.

Puff,  I don't know about a senior rate, but there is no charge for having them take the bins out and back in.

I don't see it on the website.  I think you need to call them to ask for the assistance.

PUFF   What a nice gesture from the garbage pick-up guy.   :-*

WEASEL  That's a pretty nifty free program for seniors.  Never heard of that before. Guess that is because we don't have Waste Mgt here.

Puff, WM has been buying the family trash companies in Northern AZ too. We are using a small family company, half the cost of WM. So I can have two bins, one is tree debri, pine needles, etc.

Oldguy, Mike is deciding which Brothers printer to buy.  :)

Hi Lisa, Kb, Baz  :)

Eagles, Milo is the sassy looking one on the right.  ;D

Karen, glad your neighbor helps you and an HHA is coming today.  ;D

Tsk, yummy fish recipes. I'll have to check out Trader Joe's 21 seasoning salute.

Clynn, thanks for the confirmation about Spirit and Sky. I remember the names now. I couldn't find the nest dates on NEFL pertaining to Romeo and Juliet... love the pic of Max and Emma  a definite bonded pair.

Same here, weasel....they call it Valet service and all 4 (2 large lawn) of my cans have a large V on them..with my steep hill with steps alongside the garage I still need to roll them around the corner and place them on subsequent 4 steps or I wouldn't get out of my garage..the new lawn care garbage guy, does push them down the steps for me. The garbage and recyle guys only leave them in front of my garage..Free service negotiated with Waste Management through the city.

Caught me just in time Phyl  I was going to mention that I had seen 6 juvies on that felled tree.  I guess I should count only wearing my glasses. 

But now because of all the garbage talk you have me reminiscing my time at Waste Management.  I worked late afternoon/early evening in the 60's while I was doing college.  Hours were always unique for classes as some of you recall, and the $$$$$ was needed.  They had a new headquarters starting up in the midwest - their big spread was in     Saudi Arabia.  Here, it was in Oakbrook, IL - right across the road from the Butler National Golf Course.  CEO Mr. Buntrock  was always only in the area for a game.  He would stop by for lunch and have us schedule a time.  Locally for business his first "dumps" were across the state line in NW Indiana - and so the story goes.  BUT  He got caught making up some questionable accounting records.  I followed the saga for a while.  I even got a reference from D. Day CPE who I actually got hired by.  I stopped thinking about the company except for an occasional news headline.  (Wonder where Buntrock and Day are today.)

Anyway, they sold off and reorganized what  was left.  Now they're trying to reestablish somehow.  They have new markets I know (AZ?)  They had bought my last disposal service company, Advanced, even bought new trucks, but then they sold it in less than a year.  Quick like a rabbit some Management Fund moved in to enlarge equity with LRS.  One of you said you have LRS.  Lakeshore Recycling Systems, but you don't have a lake me thinks?

No my special help is not given to others on the block in the group.  It's just special for me because I be special.  ::)  I still have to get things down to the curb, he just brings carts up to the garage door, actually gets out of his cab and walks up carts.  I remember him at Christmas FOR SURE and give him a full bottle of cool water when it is hot outside, which he then can recycle.  And, if the timing is right, he will bring up the paper on the drive and lay it on the cart.  When he's not on some days the job it becomes my job again.

City contract gives a flat rate for two regular carts, different color lids to differentiate recycle from land fill; small carts for less money if you don't have oodles of kids or cats.  ;D  Yard waste (in season) in paper sacks, free pickup.  Many extra (big) items free if you call to arrange before pickup day.

Who would think garbage could get so much space in The Beak!

TSK, thanks for the T&T Fish Sautee Method tips!  :D  Tim and you are good fish cooks!  When you saute it, do you turn it over, or keep it skin side down the whole time? I'm always nervous about turning a fillet flesh-side down in the pan - seems like it always sticks or falls apart when I do that.  ::) Do you cover it with a lid to finish the cooking? I don't remember how thick or dense walleye fillets are, so I'm not sure how long they would need to cook with your method. I always try to cook my fish to just barely done, or almost done, since it cooks a bit more after taking it off the heat and letting it sit 5 minutes. I overdosed on lemon pepper seasoning in a previous cooking life, LOL, so it's not in my cabinet anymore.  ;) But I use pepper and also lemon or lime a lot! I don't know that Trader Joe's sesoning - I need to check it out!

LOLOL Karen!!! You don't want bits and pieces left all over the place!  ;D ;D ;D  Oh my, belly laugh!!  :D :-* Love it!  Yeah, that's taking "scattering" very literally. I know many people choose to do that multi-location ash scattering for special reasons, as some of our Beakers have mentioned, as well. But I've told my family they can do what they want with mine, except they are not allowed to keep them - and if allowed, never even pick them up from the crematory! LOL. I don't think they can get away with that though.  ;) ;D  I just learned this past summer that the hometown cemetary where my family's plot is now also allows ashes to be scattered on the grounds of the cemetary! So mine could be scattered arouund my family's plot, which is nearing capacity. I don't need to take up real estate space.  ;) :D

EAGLES   Yes I did pull out my big warm fall sweater today  ;D

PUFF   What a nice gesture from the garbage pick-up guy.   :-*

WEASEL  That's a pretty nifty free program for seniors.  Never heard of that before. Guess that is because we don't have Waste Mgt here.

TSK, we have WM here, but I've never heard of that seniors program to carry trash bins to the street and return them, either. Glad to hear about it! You might call your garbage collection company and ask if they offer such a program for seniors anyway... you never know till you ask! If they don't offer it, maybe letting them know that WM offers it might get them to add the service there. Some wishes do come true!  :D

Puff, I post replies as I read, usually... Reading on, I see you mentioned you remember your garbage picker-upper at Christmas. I figured you did!  ;) :-* I remember "services" people that time of year, but mine don't get to eat the yummies that I know come out of your kitchen!  :)

LANI   Nara can do some mighty efficient scratching with those "3 fingers" :o

PHYL   I take it back from yesterday - Looks like Grazer could be the top banana  - or the fattest bear  LOL   Nice shot from the flyway.  My Milwaukee brother and his wife just returned today from a few days in the Prairie du Chien area in South west Wi on the Mississippi.  He  sent my other brother and me an email saying they were back and said " Oh by the way Sue, we counted 20 eagles with one flying right over us"  LOLOL

BAZI   I'm sure I do it wrong but I always cook flesh side down to start because I have the seasoning in the oil and I want to taste it on the fish. I don't eat the skin. I flip it on its skin for the last minute or so.   Think Tim says that's wrong so he does the opposite.  He covers the pan and I don't usually.  I call it done when the fish flakes a bit with a fork.  It takes about 5-7 min?  Walleye is a thin fillet like whitefish and mild to my taste buds.  I'm cremated and Tim's not.  Either way I get tucked in with him or they lift me out and put him in first  LOLOL   We have a very simple driveway and a short distance  -maybe 30-40' to the curb - We have three large bins on wheels - garbage, recycle and yard waste.  We don't need help yet.  In fact I bring Communion to a gal from our parish who can't get to church and part of my routine is to get her bin to the curb  LOL  Her son comes later to bring it back.

Tsk - Lol, reading your comment about being cremated.  Very nice of you to help that gal from your parish.

Have a good night, everyone!

Well, I have a new hha for Monday and Wed!  She will be here at 10 am to-morrow to take
 Me to the pulmonologist to get a script for a new cpap machine!  Medicare will pay for one after 5 years but you have to see the MD!  He will probably want me to walk but I am not sure I can after todays shopping!   Went to the very large WalMart super center to buy a new electric fry pan.  Tgey had one that I saw in a demo at Publix.  Appears to be of good quality, 12 inch, round with a vented glass top!  Price was just under 20 dollars!   Non stick finish and temperature control. Tge only electric cart in the store was out of order so my shopping was on foot!   Went next door to sams where I wanted to pick up my membership card and get coffee, Tylenol, etc!   They had one cart that said it was good to go!  Unplugged it and got going!  Got a few items and it died!  Walked around most of the store!   I do not think Mr. Walton cares much about seniors or the handicapped!   At least I can use instacart for items in the future!   My back is killing me but I have to admit the walking was good for me!
Puff the sake to lrs is in the midwest, only.  Weasel, good to see you. Thanks for the info on wm. I am pretty sure that is part of an agreement with the city or county contracting agency.  I will call our wm but my experience with them over the pick up of a container that lost its wheels, leads me to believe we do not have such a deal!   After the mess with storm debris is over I may  call the county to discuss this!   Thanks tho for the Orange County system!
Will turn in soon so seds!

Spent the late afternoon at the vet's with Maggie.  Seems like my 'little old lady' had landed wrong jumping off our bed. And made life miserable for her self.
All weekend she'd been favoring her right front leg and limping and holding it up and close to her body. She went into 'seclusion' as cats do.
I called first thing Monday Am and couldn't get in at all.  So I made a late afternoon appt. today  for her to see a new vet at Southside. He was extremely nice and listened to what I had observed and what I felt was going on with her. So he checked her over and gently worked her joints, etc.,. He said she had a 'soft tissue tear'. And, not unlike what I thought as a sprain or pulled muscle.
She has been slowing recovering on her own and I've kept a  close eye on my geriatric baby.
So she's will be on pain meds  https://cats.com/buprenorphine-for-cats#What%20Does%20Buprenorphine%20Do%20For%20Cats? (https://cats.com/buprenorphine-for-cats#What%20Does%20Buprenorphine%20Do%20For%20Cats?) This makes me a bit nervous---alas it's only for a week.



Tsk well if you cook fish w rong then that's how I like---'wrong'.   ;)    How funny your comment about being cremated.  ;D
 :) of you to be so helpful---the church family is important.

Lisa I do think the 'ladies' will have 'it' this year's 'Fat Bear'.

{{{Karen}}} sorry you had an awful day shopping. As I was reading I, too .thought of 'Instacart'. Well, hopefully this new HHA will be of better assistance .
You and Piper have a good evening and plenty of rest.

TSK, thanks for the extra info re. the fish sautee technique you and Tim like for walleye!  :)  I love hearing what techniques other people use. I used to watch cooking shows on TV for that, but I've mostly weaned myself from that. LOL. Oh, for sure I know you and Tim don't need help getting your trash bins to the street. But since you mentioned you had never heard of that program and don't use WM there, I replied as I did just because I thought it would be good to know if that service is available. I know you're involved with several groups, especially with your church, who help people who might be able to use such a service, if it were available there. Wow on your brother's eagle sightings!! More good news for the BE comeback in that part of the country!  :)

Weasel - Good to see you - good suggestion for Puff!

Tsk - We were in the 70's today, but only after a shower this morning!  The shower washed off my car and our lawn appreciated the beautiful rain!  I look forward to cooler temps when I can put my sweater on! ;)

Lani - I always appreciate the status of the Sloths - thank you!   I went back to see exactly which kitty is Milo!  I think you have said that it took a year for Milo to let you pet him!  They are both so beautiful and I can see how they love each other!

Kb - Your garbage service sound like they are helpful!

Phyl - Beautiful BE pic out at MS Flyway River cam!!  Wow 6 juvies!!  Hope Maggie is okay after her jump!

Puff - So nice of you to show appreciation to your Garbage pick up person! :)

Tsk - You cook fish the same as I do!

Tig - You are a wonderful neighbor!! :)

Tsk, WOW! on your brother and SIL seeing 20 eagles! ... Love your fish recipe, being cremated and Tim,  ;D and it's lovely of you to bring communion to a parishioner.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

Rain heading in this afternoon and through til Monday AM  I may start an ark :o :o

KAREN   Good I'm glad to hear you are keeping up with the HHA. Hope she is kind and works out well.    Well, you truly may be sore as you did one heck of a lot of walking that you're not used to.  Rest up today.   Have you been on C-pap machine before - I don't remember that.

PHYL   Just like us old folks Maggie has succumbed to a "pulled muscle"  Hugs to tough little Maggie and good to hear she is protecting herself instinctively.   Very "fall" greeting this AM.   To see 20 eagles near the Mississippi river is not uncommon and always thrilling when you don't see them on a regular basis as you know. ;) ;)

BAZI   I dare not listen to that meditation music now.  Woke at 3:30 with my brain spinning and noticing I'm dropping some balls with my juggling act  LOLOL  I may put it on later for a quick nap   :-*

LANI   What a tender good night pic  :-*

Phyl, the 365 is beautiful, love the eagle soaring in the beginning...  hugs for Sweet Maggie, hope she is feeling better soon. Maybe just a stool or something by your bed that would shorten the distance she has to jump? I had to do that for Honey, she would jump from the bed to the stool to the floor. We are having 67 today with rain off and on all day. That pain med ise what our vet gives after dental procedure when teeth have been pulled. Never had any problems with it, Maggie will be good... Saving the Salem Witch Trials to read a bit later, always found that subject interesting.

Lani, Max and Emma had very different personalities and they were also litter mates. Just like kids in the same family, they can all be so very different! Sweet that Milo is a chatterbox and sleeps by your head! Then I have Turdbutt (Harley), who has become so very picky with his food. I buy the expensive prescription food and throw most of it away. He does eat the dry though, I guess when he is starving. But at 15 pounds he doesn't look like he is a bit starving! We are planning on getting a kitten when I get home from the Dalloas trip!

E4E, we sill be having some showers today, they say we need it. I am glad because they aerated the lawn yesterday and rain will be good for that!

karen, you can't keep a cat from jumping from high places!  :o  Good for you and the walking, it will make you stronger!  And shame on those stores for not keeping the electric carts in good working order!

tsk, what a compromise you and Tim have for 'burial'!  We opted for cremation, interment at the Veteran's Cemetery in Adel, IA. All of my cat's ashes will go with me, in the ground at the cemetery. We always cook our salmon on the grill with the rosemary and garlic seasoning.  I always get the skinless, don't like messing with the skin. I don't like waking up at 3:30 with my mind racing, hard to get back to sleep...sometimes just can't!

Lani - Milo is a 'chatterbox' - your time and patience paid off  ;D :-*

Kb - What an idea (house of horrors) - those pumpkins!! ;D

Clynn - Cute pic of Harley  :)  We had little shower yesterday morning and also during the night - I know our lawn loved it and I am grateful!
          Love the Wild Heart Ranch pic of Vulture!   Happy to hear that the RRP will be turning the Decorah cams back on this Saturday - yaaay!

Oldguy, Mike bought his first Brothers printer yesterday and it's arriving today. Thanks for your suggestion. Brothers MFC-J5855DW INKvestment Tank Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer.

Eagles, Now, I'm telling Milo to hush! LOL!! He starts chattering if I move in the middle of the night. FOOD it's always on his mind.  ::)

Clynn, Out of all of the cats we have rescued, Milo and Norman are the pickiest cats when it comes to their food. Maybe Harley can help pick the kitten too.  ;D ... beautiful capture from WHR... wonderful to see pics from Decorah North. I pray their nest will be safe this year. 🙏🏽

Tsk, I tried listening to meditation music on my airpods and had nightmares. Not to mention losing my airpods in my sleep only to find Milo or Norman had taken them out to the hallway. Thank goodness for the Find My app on my iphone.

Kb, LOL!  ;D

Thanks to everyone  who expressed  their concern / well wishes for Maggie.   :-*


KB House of Horrors---a hoot!

Tsk be interesting to know the amount of rain you get.  I've only seen 1 eagle in person and close---it was a golden eagle on my mon's clothesline pole.  I had
gone out to put kitchen trash  in bin. And there it was!     Still waiting to see a Bald Eagle :)

CLynn luv the autumns today.  I gave her 'some' Buprenex. I say some as my lil old lady got wise real fast!   And, my hands aren't as steady as once were.  ::)
She's been doing well this AM.  I'll give a 'step up' another try though.  Another kitty for Harley  :)
Muchas gracias para 'Wild Heart Ranch '  y  Raptor Resource Project   con la mano y novedades... fotos de Decorah North ,  Decorah Eagles.     Boy. Oh Boy! Gonna be fun come 10-14-24 with all that 'streaming'  ;D

Lisa enjoyed the autumn cafe from this AM. How cool 'Fat Bear Week' has gotten so popular with the media.

Karen so happy you'll  have help more frequently during the week. Walking is always good for the body / heart

E4E enjoyed your 'Pumpkin patch' this AM.   Tks for concern for Maggie

Wild Heart Ranch - Happy birthday to our Dan!
What does every rescue need? A Dan. Someone to work diligently behind the scenes without any desire for recognition or praise, fixing what is broken, tending to the needy and afraid, stepping  first in line for the difficult and dangerous, listening intently and guiding those who are struggling within the team, and connecting to those who need a connection to feel included to succeed.
His hands are always gentle. His heart is always soft. His words are always true (when he's not being a smart a$$) and his actions are only motivated by his unwavering desire to make the world a better place for any individual, animal or person, who feels alone in their struggle.
My wish for any mission who is doing all the right things for the right reasons is that you also are blessed to have such a human in your brigade, and if you don't, may one find you the way he found me, when I needed him the most and when Wild Heart needed him to save me.
Happy Birthday to my partner, my miracle and the love of my life. Every word is true, bias-certainly, but all truth. The world desperately needs more Dans. Period. Annette

Lani, I hope Mike has good luck with the new printer! My new one is doing great! Honey was picky too, but Max and Emma weren't! Funny that Milo chatters at you when you move in bed! At least he is not attacking your feet!

Phyl, looks like Grazer is the winner for sure!

E4E, out bit of rain was not very much this morning, maybe more later...

Lisa, I think cat people almost always get another cat, same with dog people! I am hoping that Harley will take to a kitten easier than a grown cat!

Adorable and fluffy !  Tanganyika Wildlife Park celebrates the birth of three black leopard cubs

Cool vulture  :o     What a loving hug for Dan  :-*

PHYL  Also thought 365 was a nice surprise hearing the squee even before eagle appears  ;)  Congrats to Grazer   Sleep tight!    Where are Eagles likely to nest in the Nashville area - I'd have to go to my map to find the rivers and lakes.  I"ll likely never see a golden eagle up close. I just Googled   Where can I see bald eagles in Nashville?
Reelfoot State Park provides daily, guided bus tours of Bald Eagle concentration during the winter months, when eagles can be found on many Tennessee lakes. Call 1-800-250-8617 (toll-free) for infor- mation and/or reservations.

Also found this
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two American bald eaglets are fighting to survive here in Nashville after someone cut down a tree with their nest, throwing them to the ground. It was one week ago that someone cut down a tree with an eagle nest and two eaglets inside.Jun 8, 2023

EAGLES   Yes pretty soon to be getting the puzzles out  ;) ;)  Probably after Thanksgiving  :-\

Finally got outside to feed my feathered friends.  They've been pecking morse code message on the glass --- Food, we need food.  Yesterday, water day, today seed day.  Cleaned and filled the water areas, got the fountain to running again, still not replugged up today  :D  glad to see that.  I thought I'd cover the outdoor chores today since we're getting nothing but dire forecasts until next week Tuesday?   

Only because my sched has been crazy,  I had to take the time to check the rain gauge.  Tsk is always more efficient on readings.  Well, I emptied it last week (Sunday) which was less than 1/4" for how long and when I don't know.  Than Monday because they were also promising rain/drizzle I also turned off the sprinkler system.  Last week new total left 4" in the tube.  Did we really have that much rain last week tsk ?  I must have slept through it.  We'll see how accurate they are for this week.

Voting is over in Katmai National Park & Preserve’s annual Fat Bear Week contest, in which the public picks from 12 big ‘n’ bulky bears in an online brackets-style tournament.

The 2023 winner is a defensive mama bear who has successfully raised two litters of cubs and who “often preemptively confronts and attacks much larger bears — even large and dominant adult males,” according to the National Park Service.

Her name is 128 Grazer, and she blew her final competitor – 32 Chunk – straight out of the salmon-filled waters they both like to fish. Grazer received 108,321 votes to Chunk’s 23,134 votes, according to Explore.org, which tabulates the online contest for the NPS.

(https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/53230442145-56db119091-k.jpg?c=16x9&q=h_720,w_1280,c_fill/f_webp)
128 Grazer was sporting an impressively portly body on September 14, 2023.

Grazer was first identified as one the bears dining in Katmai’s Brooks River in 2005 as young cub. “Since then, she’s become one of the best anglers at Brooks River. She can fish successfully in many locations,” the Park Service says.

The year, Grazer was flying solo with no cubs to protect, but the other bears remembered her fierce devotion to her litter. They gave her a lot of leeway, allowing her prime spots and opportunities to fatten up on salmon.

The public apparently took notice and delivered her a huge win.

Grazer’s competition in the final round was Chunk, an up-and-comer with an “enigmatic” history with other bears.

The male was first identified in 2007 as “an independent, chunky-looking 2.5-year-old bear.” He sometimes played with other bears or would patiently wait to scavenge leftover salmon. He was often unwilling to challenge other bears for top feeding spots, though.

Chunk got more assertive in 2023, the NPS said, and it really paid off. Even Bear 747 – the 2022 Fat Bear Week champ – yielded fishing spots and salmon to him. It was enough to get him a low-hanging belly and a spot in the final round.

Meanwhile, Bear 747 was eliminated in his first round of play this year, showing again no bear can rest on his or her feasting laurels. With winter hibernation looming, it’s truly a bear-eat-bear world out there.

Hello Beakers

Cool day here - hi of 60 - had some rain come in this afternoon - not nearly as much as forecasted - .13 in - not seeing any potential for more tonight at this time.

FL511.com is very good for traffic conditions.  There is no construction near the SWFL nest on that site.  Check out the site when you see the heavy traffic to maybe see why.

Lani - how did the unboxing go - looks like a very nice inkjet - Mike should love the 11x17 paper size for his drawings.

TIG  Octoberfest meal.  We also bring half the meal home. We are doing one Friday at lunch for Barb and Tom's 49th anniversary and they leave for Florida on Tues and will return in early Dec. for Xmas

T40  Thanks for the Fat Bear report so cleverly written and those great photos of first and second place winners  ;D

Awwww those black leopard kittens  from Tanganyika Wildlife Park . :-* :-* :-*

Tsk Gosh, thank you!.  All I ever knew of here is the nest at Dale Hallow Lake /Army Corps of  Engineers. We did do the boat trip down the river and viewed the nest that way. Been ages ago though.   As I was checking out  info in your post---  I read that article about the eaglets tree getting cut down in June 2023  :'(
 Early congrats to Barb and Tom's  on their 49th.

After early shower, we had a beautiful day of low 70s

Clynn - I saw you mentioned the electric carts to Karen - I was over at my Mom's for a while today, and she was saying how the local Walmart used to have two electric carts, but now only have one, as the other is broken.  So she & my sister try to go early to try and get the cart!
       Happy Birthday to Dan at Wild Heart Ranch!   I do hope that Harley will welcome a new kitten. (fingers crossed)!

Lani - Cute gif today!   Awesome for the new 'Brothers' printer you guys purchased!!  It should work out very well for Mike!   So cute, that Milo just has food on his mind! :)

Phyl - Maggie sounds like she is stronger than what you think! :)   I do wish your pretty Maggie all the best and so far she is really hangin' in there! :-*

Tsk - Puzzles!  I already bought a couple of 500 pc puzzles to do this winter!   Last winter we did a couple of 1000 pc, but we actually don't have one of those right now!

Puff - Good luck with your feathered friends! ;D

Tig - Enjoy your dinner tonight!  Just read what you said about the restaurant - sounds great!

LisaG - How are your kittys doing and has Pepe been around in the last couple of days?

Oldguy - Great to see you and hope you have a good evening.

Tsk - Good you are starting with a fresh gauge tonight!  Sounds like fun for the Octoberfest meal and that Tom & Barb's wedding anniversary of 49 years is coming up!

I have not added days to the hha schedule.  Was short 2 days last week as the hhas mother had a stroke!   Did
not like the gal today so may be rethinking what I am doing.
Tsk, have had the cpap machine for 🥲5 years!  Md was puzzled by the resukts he saw on the machine today and said it showed I had severe sleep apnea!  He thinks this is wrong and has booked me back in December to see what the new machine reads. Interesting and he kept asking me questions and finally said it was not me but equipment.   In the meantime I have the old thing and will check out the new one before the week is over!  Shot in my back tomorrow!   Sure am going thru an active social season with Doctors! 
Got new batteries for the car fobs today!  Free!  Got a new battery for the garage door opener yesterday!  Took Piper for a ride today to pick up a script!  She said it was fun watching the cars, trucks and people but no treats at the drive up.
Next week, the retinalogist and foot doctor!  What a combo!
Clynn, exciting about a new kitty!
Great Fall pictures this am!  We are to have rain for days but what fell today was nothing!
Found a dead tree frog in the living room today!  Buriel outside the patio. I wonder if Piper is bringing them in!   Hmmm.
Had some more on my mind this morning and have forgotten it!   Oh, the black leopard babies are beautiful!
Tig, I love sauerbraten and had a great recipe for it from Betty Crocker!   It was easy and quite good!

Royal Albatross news! I think you all remember YRK is the mom to Lilibet. Her mate disappeared and she had to feed Lilibet alone, thankful for the extra feedings by the rangers.

Royal Albatross ~ New Arrivals Update 💗 YRK Is Home! WYL Is Back Skycalling & Waiting 💗 10.10.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE0SOXS0cn4

Oct 11, 2023
The new season arrivals are coming in every day! We have 40 individual albatross seen and some pairs are finding one another again. YRK (yellow red black) has been seen which is great news! If you recall, YRK is the mate to OGK and parents of RLK, Atawhai & Lilibet. Paddles are crossed that OGK will return and be reunited her with again after he went missing during Lilibet's season. ♥ Also in is RBL (red blue lime) male and WYL the male who is coupled up with BOK last season and she laid her first egg. First time breeders are not always successful so let's hope that BOK returns and they try again this year!

The coverage begins with WYL in with some beautiful and loud skycalls! Another returnee flies in - I can't be sure on the bands but it could be WKW (white black white) the widowed female who was looking for love last season. Let's hope she finds it this year! Enjoy some of the beautiful scenery  and a couple other albies coming in! Thank you for watching!

....  interesting sleepy time music choice   ;D .. Congratulations to Barb & Tim 49 years!   ;D

T40, I knew it was the year of the Women at Brooks Falls.... and I also think Grazer is with babies.  ;D  I bet she'll have 2 cubbies in 2024.

Oldguy, The unboxing went very well... He likes it very much, he's like a kid with a new toy. Though, He's having a bit of trouble with scanning, but will try again tomorrow... Sadie needed deshedding done during her spa appointment today. It was fun watching the Husky's bath time! ... I don't know about TT at the beach... Thanks for videos...

Eagles, I hope Walmart can get that 2nd cart repaired. I think they have 4 electric carts at our Walmart. I'm always watching out for them when I turn the corners.  ;D

Karen, You are having an active social season with the medical profession and hha.....Mike Dr gives him a prescription for a new cpap machine ever 3rd year. He just got a new one last year. Good luck with the new machine... hmmm, looks like Piper's bringing in Tree frogs. Isn't this the 2nd one? ... Sleep well after your busy day.

E4E  enjoyed your 'good night' picture . Thank you for you comments for Maggie. You're a sweat heart.


Karen I was hoping the new HHA would work out for you. Maybe Doc is correct that it's not you--but the machine. Perhaps the new one will work out

BL you're back. Never listened to much Led Zep , but did enjoy this rendition, 'Going to California'.   Thanks for the tunes

HI BEAKERS

PHYL   I'd love to be on that autumn porch taking a nap  :) ;)

EAGLES   I have 4 -1,000 piece puzzles but tell people who give them to me that I can only do one of those each winter and now prefer the 500's as well.   ::) ;D

KAREN  Too bad you do not care for the new HHA..  Yes, we are of that age when doc visits become more common .  The parts just wear out.  Between Tim and I   ::) ::) :o :o :P  Hope the shot tomorrow will provided the needed pain relief.   That's the second tree frog.  I bet Piper is the culprit.

LANI  What a report on the Royals - Now I've learned how they name them  LOLOL    Thanks so much for the follow-up on the fallen tree eaglets.  Happy ending.  Sure hope the culprits do get fined that $800,000.

Lani, the Royal Albys are returning for the new season! Love the picture of a couple of the Royals cruising in! Interesting article on the eaglets whose tree was cut down, I also vote for the biggest fine allowable! So good to hear the eaglets survived and fledged!

Phyl, thanks for all the news! Cute little Pine Marten in the 365, such a sweet face... And the Decorah cams announcement, great news! Good info on The Ring of Fire. How is Ms. Maggie doing today? Give her a kitty hug from Harley and me!

tsk, don't tell anyone like Ed that you love puzzles, you will be buried! I am buried in so many things!  ;D ;D I enjoy doing puzzles online!

BL, good tunes...are you still in the upper regions?

karen, you have been busy!  And so has Piper! 🐸 🐸

Lisa, Pepe is back! I bet he roams the neighborhood regularly, now that it is getting colder and all the young Pepes are gone...

Lani, this popped up in my FB feed this morning!
The Albatross is the largest bird that can go years without landing. They spend their first 6 years of life flying over the ocean before coming to the land to mate. It is capable of traveling more than 10,000 miles in a single journey and circumnavigating the globe in 46 days.

Karen - You sure are busy taking care of things!  Wishing you all the best with your shot today.

BL - I especially loved the Daryl Hall vid - thank you!

Lani - Loved the Albatross vid - YRK and WYL - thank you for the update and thank you Lady Hawk!  ;D    Re the tree that got brought down in Nashville with the two eaglets in it; - so wonderful how the parents continued taking care of them, especially since they were more vulnerable to predators.  I hope the company responsible will have to pay the $800,000 fine.
Good luck to Mike with his new Printer and I know you guys will get the scanning figured out.
Sadie will feel so good after her Spa appointment today! ;D

Phyl - Cute gif this morning!  You are welcome - your Maggie is really special!   Liked 'Nature' thank you.

Tsk - Thank you for the reminder of our Willi's heavenly birthday.

LisaG - Seems that Pepe likes hanging around your yard! ;) ::)

Clynn - Like the graphics this morning!      Love the pic of the huge Albatross - absolutely amazing the distance they can fly without landing - thank you for posting!      Love the rare Orchid - never seen anything like it - truly beautiful.      Love your remembrance for Willi  :-*

Hi Tig, Karen, Puff, Baz  :)

Eagles, I hope you're doing well after your flu shot...  Sadie did well without Dewey near her. She was smiling and very happy after her bath. Her coat is shiny and no shedding.... During our morning walk, she pranced on her tippy toes like she knew she looked beautiful!  ;D

Clynn, Nice pic of the Albatross, and yes, it can go many days without landing. They can sleep for a few moments at a time on the air currents and thermals, to soar long distances without exhausting themselves or expending much energy... beautiful rare orchid.... love Willi and Ivy's pic  :-*

Tsk, I hope the company is fined the $800,000 too!

CLYNN  I'm a tactile person.  Love to hold a book and touch my puzzle pieces  LOL  That pic of the albatross close up really gives you the perspective on it size - Amazing as well as all the stats.  Seems impossible.  " Rime of the Ancient Mariner" ( Coleridge)  I had to Google cuz I remember reading that poem in school about  " Water water everywhere nor any drop to drink"  Mariner had to wear the dead albatross around his neck as punishment...Memory from the past

Isn't that orchid flower gorgeous and eerie at the same time.?   That's my favorite pic of Willi.  Have you heard from her husband lately?    LOL  Turkey vulture looking for a handout  ;D

He is a St Francis for the street dogs and is well known throughout the US and UK. He and his island friends feed 800 street dogs daily, and tries to find forever homes for those he can save.... He has a book out too. God bless him and the beautiful dogs    🙏

Remembering Willi today. I miss her.  :-*  Thinking of her Jerry, too.

Lori, yes, I remember that little black and white calf that willi took the picture of and posted, and you remembered correctly - she named it Oreo.  :) And Decaf the Calf.  ;)  Jerry would take her out for long car rides every day, and she posted pics of the animals she saw along the way, with the names she gave them.

Clynn, I remember those pics of Willi. I always loved the one of her with Ivey on the beach. Do I recall Jerry saying it was one of his favorite pictures of Annie? I'm glad you heard from him, and thanks for passing along his hellos. Love the pic of you with Annie when you visited her in Oregon, and your sis and sil were with you. LOL on the vultures... a raptor willi loved to hate.  ;) :-* :'(

Lisa, awww... that picture of Sydney is pure love.  :) :-* Glad the kitties didn't get any of Pepe's "perfume!"  ;D

Lani, sounds great that Mike likes his new printer and it's up and running! Love seeing the news on the Black Bears! Thanks! And I'm not sure who posted the news on the Royal Albies starting to return - I think it was you... I love hearing about the ones we know returning. I hope they have a great nesting season!  Awww... Sadie the Princess prancing after her bath.  ;) :D :-*

Karen, you have been on the go, girl!  :D  Good news on getting a new CPAP. I hope the shot went okay, and you get some relief from it soon. Your appointments with the two doctors next week - that will get you "from head to toe."  ;) :D  Piper and the tree frogs!

E4E, sounds like you are ready with some new puzzles!

BL, glad  to hear it sounds like you are safely home and comfortable in your own bed again.

TSK, your lunch plans for Barb and Tom's anniversary sound like fun, and good eats.

Tig, the German meal sounded yummy.

T40, thanks for sharing the Fat Bear winner info. Loved those pics of Grazer, the winner! and Chunk, the chunky 2nd placer.  ;) ;D :-*

Puff, I know your birdies are very happy birdies with all the fresh supply of water and seed and fountain..

Phyl, three Bluebirds accompanied me for part of my walk day before yesterday - flitting just ahead of me from tree to tree and yard to yard. As I would get closer, they would flit to the next tree, over an dover, till finally I guess I got to the edge of their territory, LOL, and they doubled back around behind me.  ;D  They are fun to watch. I hope Maggie is behaving herself, and is on the mend.


I got my new Fall Moderna Covid-19 vaccine this morning. This new Moderna vax is a monovalent one, formulated for one of the newer more-recent circulating covid variants. Moderna's new version is called Spikevax. TSK, where I went today, they said they ran out of their supply of the new Pfizer covid-19 vaccine yesterday, and are waiting for a new supply, and apparently there isn't as much Pfizer covid vax available right now for some reason. Anyway, I had planned to get Moderna. So far I'm feeling completely normal. Got it about 5-and-a-half hours ago. It took 3 hours till I even had any tenderness at all at the injection site, and now I have some soreness just in that upper arm muscle where it was injected. But I don't feel anything else so far... fingers crossed! I hate you had such a bad reaction when you got it last week. I don't remember what symptoms you said you had - just that it was really bad. Did you spike a high fever? chills? Anyway, I'm glad it didn't last too many days, and all is well now. I wonder how it went with Tig today. I think she said she was going to get hers today, too.

Good Night, Beakers. SED. Peace.

Clynn - That is so perfect - the vulture sitting near the grill!   Beautiful remembrances of our sweet Willi. :)

Lani - Wonderful picture of Mama Donna and her cubs! :-*      Yes, just a little soreness in my arm - but fine.  I bet Sadie feels so good & happy with her bath and trim- probably feels lighter & airy! ;) :)    Hope Mike is getting a little more comfortable with the new Printer.

Puff  :)

LisaG - Thank you  :)    Sydney is the most darling little sweetie!! :-*

Kb - Powerful vids.  So happy for the sweet little pup finding a loving forever beautiful & wonderful home.

Tsk - I too, like laying out a puzzle on the table  :)

Clynn - I remember the photo of you & Annie - beautiful  :-* :-*   Thank you for all the lovely photos and it is a treasure to see Ivy's picture again!! :-*

{{{Baz and Zippo}}} Love your bluebird story. They would make a walk very enjoyable. There's a home at the end of our street, and every fall the bluebirds arrive and fly from oak tree to oak tree. They don't have a feeder at this home, I keep begging them to come up to my home, because I have one. Glad all is well after your shot. Sweet dreams to you and Zippo.  :) :-*

Eagle, glad you're well.  :-*.. Mike is very happy with his printer, it's quiet when it prints. He did several charts with the photos he took in Louisiana and they scanned perfectly!

Tig, I hope you're doing well after your shot.  :)

{{{Karen and Piper}}} glad you're shot went better than before.

Tsk, bear season ends on Sunday.  ;D

Good night!

CLynn so very happy to know that Jerry is doing well. Tks for calling him. 
I really enjoyed the snaps of your visit to Annie's with your sis/SIL Becky and Jennifer.  And, that one of you and Annie together is my most fave. I love it.

Eagles glad  to read that you got your vax and are doing well.  ;)

'Harley' & CLynn Maggie  and her 'strain' are doing well. She weighed in at 5#s a wee bit light for her. But, vet seemed pleased. In her youth she had gotten
up to 9#s. My lil o' lady looked like a cocktail sausage on tooth picks.  :-*

Bazi wonderful BB story. They are such fun to watch---pair them up with house wrens and you'll have some fun.   Thank  you for asking about my Maggie she's doing well. Recovering nicely.  ;)

Lori thanks for the tribute to Annie. Esp enjoyed some of her fave videos

Karen do glad your vax went well and turned out better than last time.  Tree frogs in the house= Piper  ;)

Tsk Annies' calves, 'Decaf' and "Oreo'  :) looking forward to your puzzles and snaps of them.

Tig how did your vax go? I sure hope all went well and you feel  just fine

KB just loved the lion video--the girls and boys running to greet their handler---act just like our pussy cats at home. Oh just don't confuse though.
Sad start of Penny's life---but look at it now!   I've heard of Niall Harbison and his work with abused dogs. I've also seen him on Twitter.

Lisa M. Pepe :)  I just may print that latest snap of Ms. Sydney and post it above the PC  ;D  Like Annie, she has an infectious smile  ;)


Prayers for:    Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.

GOOD MORNING

Heavy rain today starting mid morning.  Rain from Wed and Thurs  1/2 " in my gauge.

BAZI    Love that you have company on your walk .  ;D ;D    With vaccine, like you, shoulder discomfort did not start for hours later.  I felt great for the first 17 hours.  Fever only as high as 100.7.   Nausea.  From there another 17 hours to start to feel better.  I'm sure you will do fine.  I just seem to react to vaccines.

LANI   What an amazing good night sunset with water reflections  :o

PHYL  Bummer on losing posts  :P  Awesome AM photo.  I love that perspective. :)   Serene 365  ;)

tsk, we had rain during the night and into this morning, the radar looked like you were getting hit hard! 

Phyl, thanks for the map of viewing for the Ring of Fire, looks like the best place to be is southern Texas! Beautiful 365, eerie....  I am so very glad to hear that Maggie is doing well, I had to chuckle at ' a cocktail sausage on toothpicks'!  Interesting morning picture!

Lani, glad Mike has a good printer now, so much easier to live life when things go well! Smiles at Sadie prancing like a beautiful princess...and so she is! You and your family have given her a wonderful, loving home... Bear hunting almost over! We haven't heard anything from NABC, now we wait to see who is spotted. Can't imagine shooting one of those beautiful creatures, Donna and her cubs just look so sweet, who could point a gun at that?

E4E, I have nowhere to lay a puzzle in my house, except for the table we eat on!  And then there's Harley, he would lay on it and then start knocking pieces off...  :o :o

baz, sweet memories of willi...Jerry took all of us on one of their favorite rides when we were there, we saw all the cows and calves and even an eagle! Jerry was so good, he filled her life with all the things she loved. I remember she led me upstairs (Jerry had rails on both sides of the stairs so she could go up them) and showed me her drawer full of tie dye shirts! The dog in the beach picture is Williwaw, the dog they had years ago and the one she used for her Beaker name. Williwaw and Ivy were both Australian shepherds, her favorite breed. What a fun walk you had with your Bluebird escort!

Lisa, Sydney is such a smiler, she looks so very happy! Her big brown eyes and dark hair are so pretty, she is just precious!

karen, glad to hear that your shot was much better than previous ones!

Lori, lots of good memories in the Beak Room, and lots of goodies that you serve to us!

Thanks for Sydney Sea Eagle Cam article and photos. Great videos, all the eaglets had to do was mantle and that bat was gone.

Tsk interesting Jack-O-Lantern this AM. From CLynn's comment above, you'd be instore for some heavy  rain. If you're out & about take care and all.

Hi Tig tks for your vaccine update. Hope you don't feel too bad from it.      Rain for you today.  You have to tell us all about the movie if you see one.  Hope y'all have a good lunch

Always hard to measure rain in our big area Clynn.  Went out for paper - and since I was getting dripped on anyway I thought about my gauge.  Only about 1/4 inch here.  tsk up north of me did have more looking at the radar pic.  But they're still saying tonight is not looking good at all.  Wind will be gusting 30-40 while we should be in lala land.

If you do puzzles it's a challenge along with a cat. ::)  Puff was the one who would jump up, steal one, and later I'd find it chewed up and not laying flat any more.  Ergo, Puff the Beast.  So why am I smiling  (My special guy  :-* and will always be #1).

Wonder how LuLu will take to the puzzles.  Her first experience?

Unlucky eagle

What does the "eagle flies on Friday" mean?

ChatGPT

The phrase "eagle flies on Friday" is a reference to a song by the band Eagles, called "Seven Bridges Road." The song was released in 1980 and is a live recording of the band playing the song. The lyrics of the song include the phrase "eagle flies on Friday," but the meaning of the phrase is not clear. Some interpret it as a reference to the band's Native American heritage, while others believe it is a reference to a specific event or person. It is not a commonly used phrase and does not have a widely accepted meaning.

T40 the expression "The Eagle Flies on Friday" comes from a 1947 T-Bone Walker Blues song.

Quote

The blues song "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)" has the line "the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play".

Friday was payday for laborers all across the U.S. in 1947 when this song was written. The 50 cent and quarter coins that laborers found in their pay envelopes showed eagle images on their back sides during this era. 1947 was actually the last year that the eagle showed up on the half dollar coin.

When workers paid for their fun during Friday night parties the evening of payday, you could say that "the eagle was flying" whenever they threw coins to a bartender to pay for a drink.

My Dad and His Dad would often say it, but when I say it these days no one knows what it means ..   :)  ;D

I knew what it was about right away BL.  That means I'm old or my dad was old.  BTW  welcome back.  Enjoyed????  Of course!  And now you've been further on the west side than I have.  I'll take that as a challenge.  Pics coming I'm sure.

I am old too but the military always said, the eagle lands today.  Tgere are young people in service so surely some have heard the phrase!
Welcome back BL.  Did you take a camera?   Phone?

No pics from this outing Puff.
I don't own a cell phone (and it wouldn't have worked there anyway if I did).

When I'm going fast and light on a backpacking trek like this one I don't hump any camera equipment.
I carry a device similar to one of these for 2 way communication, weather and navigation:

Click on the little green 'Elev Profile' button (bottom left) for more detail of my hiking route.

I called in a 'Ranger Favor' to get a ride on the Valley Road from the Brooks Lodge Seaplane Base to the Windy Creek trailhead and back.
The tour bus from Brooks to the valley had already stopped running for the season.
We started our trek into the valley right before the 3 Forks Visitor Center. 

So Tyrone and myself had the whole valley to our selves and we did not see another soul the entire time.
We felt like we were dropped off to go for a hike on the Moon just with more oxygen and gravity.  :D

I must tell you camping in a tent next to Novarupta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novarupta) is a little spooky !
You're more than welcome to join me on my next outing to Katmai NP so I can get you that little bit more AK west. 
I know you would make an excellent AK guide !   ;D

Clynn, Loved reading your posts about Jerry and Annie  :-*.... thanks for Sea Eaglets post, it's good to see they're doing well. Love their squeeing sounds.  ;D

Tig, glad you and Camper are doing well. Have a good day.  :)

{{{Puff}}} Under the dining room carpet I found Aly's last piece of a puzzle she put together last spring. I'm sure it's one of the boys. Both cats were always sitting on the edge of Aly's table watching her. Take care.

Hi Lisa, Eagles :)

{{{Karen}}} very happy for you that you're feeling like "a new woman." You and Piper enjoy the day! ;D :-*

Oh, no. . . No pics??????   :'(  Been looking forward to them.

My picture philosophy - Not as important as the experience.  I don't use my "luggage" equipment unless I'm driving and have a trunk to carry.  #1 I have pictures to fill up my kazoo.  #2 That "stuff" is always in the way or throwing a snit at the important times. #3 I so seldom have time to go back and search the volumes/albums; then I have to try remember the specifics (where,  when).  #4 I have an all-inclusive 2x4 Panasonic that takes up no room, weighs light, makes me look like a pro, and does a lot of the tricks. 

As all have noticed, I'm not a pic sharer,  but I am a verbal sharer of the great things I've managed to fit into my years.  However -- I do have to get to Nome and the Katmai.  If I get there I promise to take some shots.

T40, my dad, who was a lifer in the Air Force, used to say the eagle 'craps' on Friday, or whatever day payday was. He used the other word though!  ::)

BL, yes, I think I would be nervous sleeping next to a volcano too! Wow, that is quite a trek you went on!

Lani, I bet Aly looked all over for that puzzle piece!

I had all three of my vaccines at Sam's today, flu, covid and RSV. Will report any negative results! They had Pfizer for the covid, so I got that one. I have had a matching set of vaccines!

Lori, lots and lots of pink stuff! Love the cake you got for Nan! Yum, the pink velvet cupcakes! And lots of black cats and spooky stuff. Love the kitty with the leaf hat!

karen, wow, that was quick action on the shot! Hopefully it lasts for a long time!

I've never been much of a Photog from day 1 of my true outdoor adventures starting at age 4.

My Grandfather who really turned me onto the great outdoors is rolling in his grave at me saying this. Sorry Pappy.
Picture a want to be a Ansel Adams with a Kodak Brownie camera and/or much larger equipment.

~ come on Pappy lets see whats on the other side of the mountain ~

Rolling his eyes he'd say slow down kiddo someday you'll get it _ stop and smell the roses _

Unfortunately I've only just begun to appreciate his truly savvy advise and slow down a bit and just stand and look from on high. 
 
The act of taking pictures in the wild is just not all that enjoyable to me.
I feel it unnecessarily pauses my travel flow and detracts from the 360° view my eyes and other 4 senses are already recording.

I've never smelled, felt the sticky sap, heard the wind whisper or tasted a pine nut from a photograph of a pine tree. Just saying.

I have 2 ocular 3 dimensional cameras mounted on a 360° swivel (my 2 feet) hard wired into my brain and so far the vistas are all recoverable, some day they probably won't be, but by then who cares anyway.

The attached pictures below are not mine.
They will give you a very good idea of the valley however.

They are mostly Amber Johnson's pictures from her similar outing there 7 years ago.

Thank you sweetie for the awesome transport assist !
Some people rock & some people roll to emulate both takes gumption.   

There is a small hermetically sealed object arriving directory from the VoTTS floor, an object that will for sure crack U all up.     

Next. BL.

BL, you've traveled through another world. Beautiful photos. I'm in awe of the beauty of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes (looked it up). It reminds me of the Big Island, lush, green on one side of the island then you drive through Hilo and come to the volcanos. A whole other world in another time.... I never knew of this Alaska, as Amber Johnson wrote "it's like walking on the moon". But to me, it would be more... You must have felt like you were the first explorers. I would  ;D . I often would watch the Dumpling Mountain cam and wonder what was the area like. Sometimes you could see bears alone, or mama bears with the cubs or yearlings making their trek to their winter dens. No green trees or lush ground, just rugged landscape. And I wondered. Oh my, what an adventure you have had. No photograph could capture what you saw, breathed, touched or felt. Your grandfather's right.... Thank you for sharing, looking forward to the next  ;D

Lori, beautiful birthday cake and card for Nanimal. I love a good carrot cake and this one is especially delicious! Nanimal will love it.  :-*
I knew it was Friday, and it was the 13th, but I didn't think of it being Friday the 13th!! LOL!! Love Destini! and all your 13th pics!  ;D

Kb, Happy 247th birthday to the Navy!  ;D ... gorgeous Condor, and I did not realize how big they are, and stunning wingspan, beautiful feathers. Look at him strutting  ;D

Clynn, Edinburgh, Scotland is on my bucket list.... Besides "I will not talk in class" I also wrote "I will not chew gum during school."

Oldguy, Oh, I'll have a piece of Nanimal's cake too! YUM!  ;D ... Love Sha na na  ;D ... Thanks for volcanos update.... I don't know Pretty Woman by RO is still the Best! But, Home Free does a great version of the song. Fun weekend for Iowa this weekend! I hope the weather improves.  :)

Tsk, delicious lunch, and a nap too!  ;)

Good night!

Kitty and Mouse
       by Anonymous
Once there was a little kitty,
White as the snow;
In a barn he used to frolic,
Long time ago.
In the barn a little mousie
Ran to and fro;
For she heard the little kitty,
Long time ago.
Two black eyes had little kitty,
Black as a crow;
And they spied the little mousie,
Long time ago.
Four soft paws had little kitty,
Paws soft as snow;
And they caught the little mousie,
Long time ago.
Nine pearl teeth had little kitty,
All in a row;
And they bit the little mousie,
Long time ago.
When the teeth bit little mousie,
Mousie cried out “Oh!”
But she slipped away from kitty,
Long time ago.

360 degree swivel mount of feet - cute

Did my mountain hiking in Rockies when young and ill equipped.  No good? shoes for walking much less hiking.  Probably why I've sported knee replacements now for 25-30 years.

Growing up in snow - people don't do downhill that much.  Lots more cross country; slower and more scenery to soak in.   Zipping and zooming for the snow novices.

One pic I really enjoyed BTW was the shadow shot of the three reindeer against the surface of the snow.   OH WAIT!  That was three creative homo sapiens.
I do appreciate your day-by-day and snippets BL, nice touch adding additions by Amber.  (Did you see the packs on their back?) Pass. . . . .

Pics are/were great--but I like a more urgent drive to feel the areas.  Photos are not the ultimate, but they do start  the cerebal juices flowing.  Ole body quivers when I even mention hiking now.   ;D

Don't recollect ever seeing a snap of the real Mt.Katmai; don't even recall mention of a for-real Mt. Katmai.
Another good capture was the waterfall and surrounding terrain of the valley.  Unique.
Also liked at the end where time (and wind) forced ? the time to rest and reflect.  Or, as my motto urges, to sit and ENJOY!


Lani I remembered and wondered about Friday, 13th, no mentions.  Guess too many other things are filling the airwaves and our thoughts.  The pleasant things in life should not be ignored.

My brother Ed was born November, Friday 13, passed December, 2021.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

Rain rain rain.

BL  I truly can understand your approach to seeing this beautiful world.  Your Grandpa was a super special person. The pictures give us a great idea of how desolate yet how extremely beautiful your hiking was.  :)

OLDGUY  Has yet to stop raining long enough for me to check the gauge from yesterday's rain.   Tower  :o ::)

PHYL   Poem - Glad the mousie made it  ;)  Got a 15 min nap.  Tim over an hour...

LISA   Cute AM kitty  :D  If ever veal is on the menu I will order it!  Sometimes it can be served with an egg and anchovies and capers on the top.  I skip that.  Just squeeze some lemon juice.  If I make it I use capers and lemon. I make it with chicken tho.

Lisa, love your good morning kitty!

Puff, you have so many memories of all the places you have been!

BL, same for you...  :) Thanks for Amber's pictures, it is like another world....

Phyl, nice 365, love the mist and the pretty lizzard!  I want to see the 'really sweet shorty of a video' !  (check your link...) That cat sitting in the chair, LOLOL! Sweet poem, glad the little mousie got away!

Lani, LOL, I never had to write about chewing gum, but I remember once when I wrote my initials on the wooden desktop with a pen. Nothing like leaving ironclad evidence.  ::) The teacher made me go get soap and paper towels and wash it off...

kb, that condor is beautiful, it actually felt like he was showing off his beautiful wings! I googled the question, if condors are related to vultures:  Yes, condors and turkey vultures are related. Both birds are members of the family Cathartidae, which contains six species of New World vultures. The two groups are thought to have diverged from a common ancestor around 25 million years ago.

tsk, your dinner sounds delish! We have The Amana colonies about 100 miles east, they have at least 3 German restaurants, we are going to try this one next:  https://millstreambrauhaus.com/   https://www.travelawaits.com/2556152/charming-experiences-in-amana-colonies/

Good  morning!  The talk of German food takes me back to the rare Saturday afternoons that my mother and I would go downtown and eat lunch at a .german restaurant in The loop!    Y dad was not a fan!  Funny as he was the son of a german butcher!   Back in the day, veal cutlets were quite a staple at the Chicago meat markets and I do not think I have seen them since leaving town!   My mother also cooked a roast that was readily available at the butcher which was half veal and half pork tenderloin, tied together with the pork on top!   Veal was dry and the pork moistened it.  May have been bacon on top.
My mother was born on Friday, July 13th so that has always been special to me!
The rains of the midwest are bringing cooker temps to the south!  Snow possible in the higher elevations of the appalation mountains!   A few days here with temps topping out in the 60s so not too bad!
Enjoy your day and BL . Relax whike reflecting on your recent adventures!

I don't know how to stop.  Y'all keep triggering my brain and then I have to overspend my allotted time.  First shot was fired by KarenG.  Don't even know if I ever mentioned my German heritige; half of me is German Russian from Mom.

I know you know Ton was Italian, all Italian.  Talking one time it came up that I was going to make a German dinner for the two couples we ate out with about once a month.  Consisted of one Irish BIL and the other three Italian.  His encouragement went some where along the lines "Are You Crazy''  (all caps and ! at the end, in that usual Italian volume).

I really had fun with it!

Menu    Ham hocks and sauerkraut
            Kauduffel and glaze
            Pigtails and mashed taters
            Schnitzel and carrots
            Spice cake

Had to do it all by memory since Mom had passed.  There was a small cookbook I somehow got possession of.  And, yes they ate; only little bits of each were left over.  So There!  It's good stick-to-the-ribs stuff and I am a pretty good cook.  (Pat on the back)

Other side, credited to Dad:  Italian, Irish, Cherokee

{{{Puff}}} prayers in memory of your brother.... yes, many things were going through my thoughts yesterday, and the pleasant things should not be ignored.  :) ..  what a lovely heritage you have.

Clynn, I had a teacher in elementary school who gave us a choice of writing 100 times "I will not talk in Class" or copy 10 pages from the Webster Dictionary. He chose the pages. I chose copy the dictionary. We were given a week of recesses to complete it. I learned how to spell, now learning how to pronounce the words was something else.... I looked at one of the restaurant menus, Why do people want to put pineapple slices on a good burger? With swiss cheese and teriyaki sauce. Dear God  :-X ... Love the cat spread out infront of the tv. So cute!!! ... perfect pic and caption of the Sea Eaglets by Pat Burke.... oh my god! The mama feeding station! LOL! Great Caturday pics.  ;D

Tsk, I love veal with capers and lemon juice too.  :)  Mike always has Chicken Piccata at his favorite family restaurant in Louisiana. Berghoff's has a great menu!

Oldguy, now you've done it again. I'm hooked on another cat rescue and it's for feral cats too! Loved watching it and I subscribed.... have a good day at work.

Eagles, I hope all is well with your son.  :)

{{{Karen}}} prayers in memory of your mother..... I bet veal/pork with bacon was delicious! I'm getting hungry  ;D... enjoy your day. Hi Piper! Leave the tree frogs in the trees.  ;D

I've never been much of a Photog from day 1 of my true outdoor adventures starting at age 4.

My Grandfather who really turned me onto the great outdoors is rolling in his grave at me saying this. Sorry Pappy.
Picture a want to be a Ansel Adams with a Kodak Brownie camera and/or much larger equipment.

~ come on Pappy lets see whats on the other side of the mountain ~

Rolling his eyes he'd say slow down kiddo someday you'll get it _ stop and smell the roses _

Unfortunately I've only just begun to appreciate his truly savvy advise and slow down a bit and just stand and look from on high. 
 
The act of taking pictures in the wild is just not all that enjoyable to me.
I feel it unnecessarily pauses my travel flow and detracts from the 360° view my eyes and other 4 senses are already recording.

I've never smelled, felt the sticky sap, heard the wind whisper or tasted a pine nut from a photograph of a pine tree. Just saying.

I have 2 ocular 3 dimensional cameras mounted on a 360° swivel (my 2 feet) hard wired into my brain and so far the vistas are all recoverable, some day they probably won't be, but by then who cares anyway.

The attached pictures below are not mine.
They will give you a very good idea of the valley however.

They are mostly Amber Johnson's pictures from her similar outing there 7 years ago.

Thank you sweetie for the awesome transport assist !
Some people rock & some people roll to emulate both takes gumption.   

There is a small hermetically sealed object arriving directory from the VoTTS floor, an object that will for sure crack U all up.     

Next. BL.

PUFF  Very funny recollection of your German heritage - equal time for all nationalities  :) ;)

PHYL  Glad you got that link to work - Such a sweet kitty so gentle with Mary  :-*  Cat in the black hat is so disgruntled

CLYNN  When a site asks you to subscribe is there a fee involved? or do you just get regular emails from them?  When do you leave?

LANI  That calico is meditating itself out of being disgusted with the hat costume  LOL   I would have taken writing out the sentence.  You saw the more positive side of the punishment  LOLOL

T40   Respect  ;D  Good to know about the squeaky toy rescue.    The bees and the Fanta bottle - Gotta have "knees"
 LOL

This round of rain stopped about noon - Went out to measure from Friday AM til now - 2"

Hi Karen made your mom's B/D special in a good way.  :)

KB Hurrah! Bullwinkle found himself a gal.  ;)    A lot of  rain,--good as long as it doesn't flood

CLynn  Ginger Mama- all I can think of---those poor nipples.  :-[  So funny kitty ordering salmon sand; toilet paper kitty

Bazi Hola y saludándote con la mano .  'Hello and waving at you.'

T40 these are all  good today--- ;) Bro explained society, Vet is a 'shero';  Bees knees is a hoot!; squirrel feeder pole/olive oil oh my sides ache!

Tsk  2" is good ; can hardly wait for Lulu to do her first puzzle.  ;D

Puff  Tks, enjoyed reading about your heritage. ;)       My Dad 1/3 German, balance French, Italian and British. My mom I can now trace 25,000 yrs  to The Levant( Israeli/Syrian); modern  is balance French, Native Indigenous American and British.

My fathers dad, the butcher came to the US from Germany during the 1800s,  Family settled in Wisconsin.  His mother was brought to the US by her mother and step father  from Norway (Christiana, now Oslo) and
they settled in Wisconsin!
After they met and married tgey moved to Chicago where my dad was born!   He grew up in the city but spent a lot of time in Wisconsin in tge summer , with family.   He worked in the tobacco fields!  Summer job!

My mothers father was English and her mother was Scotch Irish,  she grew up in Nashville, Tn and her father moved the family to Chicago where she and her two sisters went to work at the Continental Bank!  Her father was a union organizer , worked for a railroad, but was railroaded out of the south , so to speak!  I think this set of grandparents cane here very early!  Went back to Virginia but could not get further!

Now, why am I writing all this?   Who knowa. Ut I will stop now.seds

Tsk,  writing the same sentence over and over again was boring... I knew I would probably talk and chew gum again.... so, writing pages from the dictionary was more productive ;D

Currently 49F   High  62F  partly sunny,  Low 46 F  .


My Maggie has never taken to a laser light. Now Mike and Samantha on the other hand, went all nutty.


Karen  very interesting family history, tks. Hope you're still feeling 'like a new woman'.  ;)

Lisa  our forecast yesterday,  was for heavy rain---not a bloody drop! So Jim was out trimming and mowing at 8am.  After trimming, I served him hot coffee w/ fried eggs over corned beef hash mixed with diced turnips, on the deck (he was well insulated,  ) ;)

Tsk  my arthritic hands made a typo. It was 2,500 yrs. I had a saliva swab for  the mitochondrial DNA (Mom)  7% Jewish/Israeli ,not a lot. But enough    ;)

Phyl, my Siamese never chased the laser, but Harley does!  Except when he is too lazy to move... ::)  Lovely morning picture, I can imagine having tea there!  I remember the Velvet Crumb coffee cake, Mom also made the Velvet Crumb cake often! We ate at 6:00 (Dad got home from work at 5:30ish) and we always had desert! She still likes to make that cake to this day.  47 here now, high 55.

Lani, very smart of you to choose the dictionary, a much better choice. That should have been the standard! We never had that choice, very smart teacher! Did you get the whole Webster's dictionary on paper? LOLOL!

tsk, no, it doesn't cost anything to subscribe to someone's youtube channel. They get paid by how many views they get, because of the advertisements that are added. I will be flying to Dallas on Wednesday afternoon, coming back next Tuesday. Getting excited now!

karen, you have good information on your family ancestry! Did your Mom have all that information?

This was posted by a good friend in St Louis: We have gotten so SICK of losing all FOUR of our tv remotes in the giant sectional, that now if you want to change the channel, you have to ask Patty. This whole running a household thing….

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

In addition to the 2" of rain I posted yesterday we had another 1/2" overnight.

KAREN   I have found ancestry such a very interesting topic.  Have you ever seen " Finding Your Roots" on PBS?  Celebrity backrounds are researched?

PHYL  Bisquick recipe good to know.  Have some sitting in my pantry  - need to check expiration date   ::) ::)  The laser light tells us a lot about a cats field of vision.  She loses the light and needs movement to find again.  ;)   So you're looking at the time between David and Jesus!  Amazing.

CLYNN  Great list - Know everyone!!  Love the pumpkin field.  Can't wait for you to make that surprise trip. Take some pics.  How cozy is that tiny house village  :o  And yes I would love that view  :o

Will be at the coat drive all day today  Be back later this afternoon.

Phyl - The Velvet Crumb Coffee Cake, yum, pinned it.  I made a big pot of chili yesterday with it being rainy and cold.  Jeff did some cornbread to go with it.

clynn - YES, I would love to wake up to that view!  The Tiny house village is cute.  Love all your morning pics.  I still love hearing some of those songs from the 1965 Billboard Top 40.  :D

Cams on a hatchery nest.  HM and HD both in tree.  Maybe I'm wrong, maybe just highlight?  No announcement?  I did get the NorthNest opening, was planted there yesterday all day.  Did the opening actually apply to both nests?  Feel foolish; I think I missed something.

Yep, Clynn I seemed to have missed the boat all around.  I did see the wiper blade go by.  Didn't know it was  at N1 now too.  New accessory.  Yesterday I saw the night lights go on at North Nest; is that new, too?

Just curious -- can you really have them called windshield wipers if the tree has no windshield?  Need a creative new term.  LOL

Royal Albatross - Oct 13, 2023
As the new season is beginning to get underway, we were fortunate enough to see some of the returnees on the hill at sunset. There were five albies that were seen socializing at one point. How exciting to see them all back- maybe for the first time to try and make a connection! At the last count, there were 40 new new arrivals back to kick off the season. These are a mix of prior breeding adults. juveniles and first time returnees.

Oct 14, 2023
This was a magical moment when one returning albatross was on the ground and a second one hovers right overhead and & they reach out and try and touch bills like they were giving one another a kiss! The kisser circles around several times and offers up some more affection before landing and interacting with another albie. Such an enchanting time for the toroa as they return now to meet up with their mate or to find new love!

It looks like maybe LKO has returned as well and then we get to see OLY flying in and get a good look at his band. LKO will be looking for a mate and OLY and his mate did have an egg in 2022 but were unsuccessful. Lots of albies flying in and around the headland now - very exciting!

Wow Lisa Is that what is called an overkill? M & D busy soaring around. Think John wants an early, active season with two chunk eagles.   :o

I'm also going to add my experience with tech.  Me thinks they've been trying to get more $$$$ from us.  I noticed a couple week now - getting block out of postings.  At first it was the morphed X.  Don't care what it's called.  Passed   For years getting ads was being controlled by AdBlockerPlus.  Then at the beginning of '23 they had something about us volunteering donations.  Selling point - they were just trying to keep us safe?

Now, I have no idea how cute the kitties were.  I think I've missed some of bl's Alaska pics.  Can't get in to some of OG's stuff.  But that's OK there are lots of channels on TV - I have the Bears and NHRA right now.   What do you think kb Bears or Vikings?

Love the kiss!  And love Sister Aly! I was in the Pep Squad in 1965! Very similar to Cheerleaders except we did routines to music during the game half time.

Puff, I thought that was quite a big lot of fish in the nest, it will be pretty aromatic before long!  ::) ::) BL got it, cam lens wipers!

Clynn, LOL on the Decorah cam having a windshield wiper!!  I love it!! But... I hope it also has a remote-activated windshield wash sprayer, because if not, oh my... wait til the wiper wipes a PS - smear it allllll the way across the cam lens!! Just like my car's windshield wipers do with the bird poop SPLAT - it requires multiple spray-and-wipes to get the smeared bird poop under control! LOL!   ;D  P.S.

Thanks for the Royals summary.  Season never stops.. ;)

BAZI  Good point on the camera wipers being on a remote.. ::)   Good going on your 45 min!!

TIG  Did you have a reaction to your Covid or did I miss it?

LOL Clynn! I wasn't very much of a rebel in 6th grade at Oak Harbor Elementary, WA. I was quiet and shy, first time I found out I was of a different race, especially when I was with my mother.  I had a very strict male teacher. A lot of kids wrote lines in his classroom or got the paddle. The boys preferred the paddle. Get the punishment over with... I put my chewing gum under my desk. He was the one that gave me my very one and only paddle on the butt too. Never ate another one again. But, I'd rather write the dictionary pages then have him report to my parents. I became very good at spelling. I had straight As.  ;D

Who lived in a town house in Foggy Bottom!  Her house was very small.  When she would stand in the center of the living room she

put out her arms and touch the walls.  Very narrow place!

CLynn  pretty autumns this AM; 'Ask Patty...' too cute;   charming tiny house village; an awesome view in the morning.  BB's Top 40 in 1965 a lot of favorites listed.

Tsk another 2.5" of precipitation  ;)  ;  all the best with the coat drive.   Maggie loves her the 'DaBird' feather toy

Lisa  very festive cuppa cocoa this AM ; Chili season in my house is right around the corner as is hot cocoa w/RediWhipp  ;D;  'baiting'  the nest  ;)

E4E glad to hear your family's doing well; Yes Jim loved every bite.  I  do weekend breakfasts just like that. As neither of us eat decently in the AM.  Our hummers usually leave by the end of October. Haven't seen them for a few days now---Gulf of Mexico isn't far away, a non-stop flight over open sea. Increasingly staying here in US. Last I read, they seem to favor Texas.

Puff Yep! on internet media.

CLynn lab had the right idea, what a sweetie; tks for Pat Burke's Sydney Sea Eagle Cam update

Erin & Family came over and stayed with Kelsey so we could go out for dinner for our 39th Anniversary, since I won't be here then! We went to Outback, Ed's favorite, and I love their Filet Mignon, not to mention the Blooming Onion! Erin installed the five new house phones while we were gone and did a couple of things on my computer. Nice evening. Got a couple of pics of the kids...

Phyl, 41 here, high 62 today. GSB sunrise, beautiful as always! Love the cranes on the 365, so graceful! Oh that witch! Thanks for the Decorah pics!

Lani, oh your scary good night picture!

BL, good music for Monday morning!

tig, warm homemade apple pie (with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream...) YUM!

Lani, life was so different back in grade school! I got the paddle twice, I think! She was a skinny little Music teacher, no pain involved...  ::) ::) ::)

oldguy, so now we know exactly how old you are!  You were born in 1952, same as me and kb!

baz, glad you were able to get your walk in yesterday!

tsk, some people look to get rid of things they don't want any way they can! You should see what you get when you have a dumpster in your driveway!

Woot, woot! and whew:

Finally!...one of the Towers have perched on the water tower.
'Bout time!..all other years it's been in September...perhaps our unusual weather?...oh well on the reason, they are back.
Now I just need my neighbor's ash tree to start dropping it's leaves...easier then to take a pic when they are on that particular post.

Baby elephants are so darn cute:

karen - So sad about both actresses  :'(  Sorry you did not like the HHA this time.

tsk - We are having a bright an sunny day here, with a high of 61° today.  It was a lil chilly this morning, 48° but still have not turned on the heat.  Hmmm, people must not either read the church bulletin.   ::)

Phyl - Pretty good night pic. Pretty Flyway this morning.

tig - Glad to hear no reaction just a sore arm.

Lani - Yay, on being a straight A speller  :D 

BL - Thanks for the tunes!

Puff - That bright light looked like the IR light on, and I think the bright light by bridge might have been a reflection from IR light on one of the signs? That's my guess.  :)

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins.  How nice of Erin to come and do that for you. Yummy, Outback for your 39th Anniversary!  Love the quilt. LOL, Hold the Anchovies!

Lisa, I did love spelling and reading time! ;D

Eagles Congrats to your grandson/team... the paddling wasn't too bad... I'll always remember our two year visit there. I was just 10 when we moved from Hawaii to WA in the beginning of my 5th grade year. My stepfather was in the Navy and at the time there was only two stateside Naval bases that allowed a mix race marriage. Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island, WA was one of them. We drove from Travis Air Force base to our new home. I remember seeing the stunning redwood trees, the beautiful Oregon coast and the pine trees with chipmunks! I thought the trees was so tall that if you climbed them you would truly see God. And traveling over Deception Pass. Fishing for halibut, salmon and going clamming on the beach... So many great memories of that beautiful state.  My 5th grade teacher was Mr. Matson, he was a dream and very good teacher ;D. He was one of those memorable teachers. But, my 6th grade teacher. I won't mention his name but also memorable :-X.... We returned back to Hawaii after my first quarter in 7th grade. My mom hated living in the states. So, we ended up living in Waikiki for a year. Stepdad returned to the sea duty for a year and we waited for a Naval base home. Which we didn't get until the middle of my 8th grade year. sorry TMI  ::)

Karen, sorry about your hha help... Poor Piper! LOL!  ;D... be easy on yourself, don't over do.  :-*

Kb, YAY the Towers! love the ellie  ;D

{{{Clynn and Ed}}} what a lovely evening you and Ed, delicious dinner and quiet time with Ed, and adding Erin's help and seeing your beautiful munchkins! Both look well and so cozy nestled in your home. Love the tie-dye blankets... I can't imagine a skinny music teacher feeling the need to use a paddle. LOL!  ... my sixth grade teacher was a big man with eyeglasses and kept the paddle hanging on a nail next to the blackboard.... love the R&R blanket... LOL! I'm all about the anchovies! Cute  ;D

Hi Puff beautiful areas that we're able to see with this new cam. Gorgeous fall colors.

Have hha coming today!   Now have the same one 5 days in a row!   She will be her less time on Monday and Wed as she works another job in the morning and has to pick up her son!  Works for me! Have the sheets in the dryer now so she can make the bed when she gets here!  Yea!   Also take out the garbage!
The girl I did not like did not do anything!  She was here the day before and the one coming today took her around and told her what to do! She wrote it down and gave her the list!   She came in and sat down watching the news and said is there anything you want me to do?  I said, you can start by making the bed!  We then had to go out and she took me all around.  When we got home she sat and watched the news.
Bed being made as we speak!

Phyl, you are 18 years younger than I am!   Just a kid!

I still have feeders up but I have not sen a hummer in several weeks!   Will close it in November!   Miss those little things!

I have to say that no paddles were not allowed in the public schools when I was attending!  It was a law!  Must have been a state law?

Lani, I love your report of your adventure going from  Travis up the coast!   Sorry for your experiences with discrimination!   Our country had not been welcoming!

Lisa, I have not turned the heat on yet, I always try to hold out until November! Our high is 62 for today, one degree warmer than you! I also only had sore arms from the 3 vaccines I got Friday.

Phyl, oh those Flying Monkeys!  They do look kind of evil...  ::)

karen, I hope this girl is a good one!

Lani, love the Pooh pictures!  It's Fall in the Hundred Acre Woods! Your memories are a lot like mine, with the moving from base to base over the years. We were never in one place more than four years! I have been to Washington State once, Ed and I were visiting Becky in Portland and took a day to drive to Mt. St. Helen, I think it was 1987, just 7 years after the eruption. It was the middle of June but it was cold and rainy and very spooky... Looking at Spirit Lake then and comparing to what it used to look like...just a feeling of awe. (off on another tangent, sorry!) The damage was tremendous, lombardy pines looked like toothpicks laying on the ground.

Hello Beakers

A sunny day today - up to 55 now with light winds...

The WBB game yesterday was a big success - played in the football stadium, the attendance was 55,646, setting an attendance record - beating the previous record of 29,600 set about 5 years ago at the NCAA finals.  $250,000 was raised for the U of Ia Children's Hospital that is next door to the stadium.  BTW Iowa won 94-72  ;D

Interesting family histories - thanks for sharing.

(((Lani))), great memories of your time in Washington state.  :) :-*

Oldguy, what a great turnout for the Iowa WBB game! And how wonderful that the fundraiser was so successful! I bet it was loads of fun to be there! Isn't that the stadium where the kids, who are patients at the Childrens Hospital next door, can look out the floor-to-ceiling windows above and overlooking the stadium and field during the games there, and there is a tradition of a coordinated "Turn and wave" from all the people in the stadium towards the kids, who are waving back through the hospital windows at the stadium crowd all looking up at them? I think it's there. I love that tradition!!  :-* :-*

((Karen)), I'm glad you have a helpful, steady HHA now! Piper will protect you from all the Goblins!  ;) :D :-*

Puff, I'm guessing the light you saw was an IR light - not visible light to the naked eye when there. I don't think RRP, or the Hatchery folks, would put visible night lighting anywhere that could disturb the nest, or other animals in the area.

KAREN  Sure hope they can find a really nice HHA companion for you.  Well reading on it looks like a good one?

EAGLES  YAY  A win for the team  :)

LANI   What a sweet Pooh gif.   Thanks so much for sharing that bit about your life - How interesting esp about the mixed race and choice of naval base.  Kind of stressful on kids to move about like that but so many do.  Sure glad you saw back then the awesome state of Wa.

CLYNN   Love Drift Away.   56 here and no sun.  Heat at 70.  Brilliant pic of Leslie's blue jays.  I too visited Mt St Helen about 1-2 years after via my Vancouver Wa. friend  Your comparison pics are amazing.

OLDGUY  Great that so much money could be raised for the Children's hospital.    Walter " St Francis" Santi - another kitten - word gets around the neighborhood.

karen - Glad to hear that this HHA worker is working out for you today.  :)

clynn - Glad to hear that you did not have anything but sore arms too, with your vaccines.  LOL, you sound like me with the heat...I tell Jeff put on more clothes!  We did not use our AC all last month and this month the electric bill only went down $20.  I find that VERY hard to believe.  Beautiful pics from Lesley.

Waving to All the Beakers! Have a great day! Go wild if you feel the need!  ;D

Oh yeah  Baz I'm sure the new stuff is all solar powered.  I seem to recall they made some hint as to new additions being solar to save $$$$.  I stayed with screen to where the sun came up and took over.  They seem to have made some tweaks here and there.

After more coat sorting/hanging this AM used the afternoon to say adios to my SIL Barb as they head to Naples tomorrow - to return in early Dec. - They are going to sell their condo this year much to Barb's disappointment.  Then got the 3 hoses put away and stowed the last chair still sitting on the patio.  Brought in the last pieces of yard art and my rain gauge.  Now will wait for a freeze to kill all the remaining cheery annuals.  Found and disposed of a dead possum hiding behind my hosta - that was a surprise  :o :o

Ooooh  Tsk!  I wonder what killed the possum!  Poor dear. 
The hha that came today has been coming for some time and is the one who wrote the list for the one who just sat and watched the news!   She will not become president of the company but she is  fine, pleasant and will be coming 5 days a week!   That hassle is over!   Eye doctor appointment tomorrow.  Have a good evening, seds

I just have to say that I almost lost my post this morning after spending over an hour with it!  I first pressed Preview, then pressed Post and at first the circle showed up for about 30 seconds then it stopped.  I thought it went thru, but had the presence of mind to check and see and my post was not there.  So I copied & pasted and then posted again and it went thru!  I think it could have been an internet issue. :-\

Phyl - Oh no, you also got paddled in school?!  It was always boys who got paddled when I was in school!  Things sure have changed!  My worst memory was my brother (who was one grade below me as we were only 14 months apart in age), in the 7th grade was grabbed by his teacher and thrown against a brick wall - tearing his button-down shirt.  I was a young girl who loved my brother, so it was very upsetting to me. 

Lani - I too, loved Spelling in school!  Thanks for sharing some history of being in school as a young girl - things were different then.  No worries about TMI, I appreciate hearing your stories of growing up.  Sorry you went through some rough times.

Karen - Glad you have a better helper coming in - hope it works out long term  :)

Clynn - Oh no, I remember the Mt. St. Helens tragedy - so devastating. :o :o :o  Thank you for the pictures.

Hi OG  :)

Tsk - You are ready for the change of seasons! :)   Bummer about the dead possum. ???

LisaG - I agree, that it seems your bill would have went down more than $20.00!

Beakers have a good night - SEDs  :)

Karen, glad you have help again. I hope she works out for you.... Love Baz's comment about Piper keeping you safe from Goblins, you can add Tree frogs too.... our hummers stay year round.

Clynn, Thanks for sharing your memories. Thankfully, we didn't have to move as often. My mother never wanted to live in the states again nor did she want to go to Japan, or Guam. So my step father's sea tours were a year out and a month in Pearl Harbor.... sad about Spirit Lake.... Love the Blue Jays.

Oldguy, What a wonderful and successful fundraiser for the Children's Hospital. Congats Iowa... Good ole mountain dew!  ;D ... Love Vasek's fast cat slaps!  ;D... Maru, Hana and Miri look very pretty with their harnesses. Thanks.

Lisa, I'm surprised your bill is down more than just $20.

Baz, "Girls gone wild!"  ;D

Tsk, Did you do well collecting coats? So this is Barb's last time at the Naples condo? ... awww poor possum, it probably was old age and found a lovely place behind your hostas...

Eagles, beautiful good night pic.

Good night!

Lani, every life has a story and we never really know what someone has been through...  We were never without my Dad except for 6 months both times he was stationed overseas. He went ahead to get living quarters ready and Mom joined him later with us kids. I have often thought of how it must have been for Mom, 20 year old girl from Bone Gap, IL with 2 toddlers aged 3 and 2, heading for Germany on her own. Her first airplane ride, and no jets then, they had to stop in Greenland to re-fuel. I think I would have been petrified. And then the year Dad was in Viet Nam.

E4E, you must have been one of those 'goody two shoes' kids in school!  They never did anything wrong!  Just kidding, but there were some of those in the mix! Along with the naughty boys!

tsk, so Barb and Tom are selling their condo, just like you and Tim did, was it last year or the year before. They say twins often think alike...  So did you have a successful coat drive?

A good friend in Springfield took a riverboat ride on the Mississippi last weekend:

HI EVERYONE

39 degrees heading to 60 later today.

PHYL   Like the solitary goose? silhouetted  on the rocks.

KAREN   Happy for you with a familiar and agreeable HHA.  Why did she leave in the first place?

EAGLES  Phew!  :) ;)   What a terrible thing to happen to your brother.  That teacher would be jailed today!

LANI  All the adult coats are now hung - there are hundreds of them.  Today I think I will be doing the kids stuff.  I don't know how many volunteers will be there for the AM shift.   Once Barb and Tom come back in Dec from this trip, they go down again Jan 1  - usually til Apr 30th.  Have no idea how this year will go for them.  This will be a big change for Barb as she has a whole life of friends down there from all the years they have been going down there - 35+  They've owned 3 different condos in Naples.

CLYNN   Love that  little " Eurasian blue tit"  examining his food particle  ;D    Boy your Mom was really young when she moved the family at the time to Germany.  And today she is one tough lady!!!  What did your Dad do in Vietnam for that year?     We sold Door County  3 years ago now this Nov - hard to believe.  The twins have a lot of medical issues -    Tom wants to be closer to his doctors and it is just getting to be too much for him to manage the pontoon boat and the travel down and back.  They are still hauling their 19 yr old cat Pepper.     The set up for the drive at Catholic Charities is still going on.  The free coat give-away happens Thursday.  I will be a personal shopper for the AM shift.

Currently 52F   High  64F partly sunny,  Low 51 F 
 
Tsk so sad about the possum. Could have been anything...   Sounds like the  coat drive will have lots to choose from.
So Barb and Tom will eventually spend all their time back in your area?
That's the jetty at Stony Point Penguin Colony and the silhouette is a cormorant.

E4E how awful about your brother in school!  The teacher, was fired? Right? 

Karen ahhh I just saw the final verdict on the new HHA . So glad  ;)

tsk, my Dad was Master Sergeant when he retired, he was an airplane mechanic, F-100 Fighter Jets in Viet Nam. He joined the Army/AirForce in 1946 (he was 15, his grandpa approved since he was not yet 16). He was stationed in Alaska when he joined his friend from IL on leave in 1950. His friend Don set him up on a blind date with his girlfriend's best friend, Jean.  That was how he met Mom. They were married in 1951, she was 16. She graduated high school in May 1951 (she skipped 2nd grade because she was the only 2nd grader and joined the other two 3rd graders), and they were married in June 1951. Off on the tangent again... more than you asked...

Phyl, absolutely love the beginning view of the Pyrenees with the bits of fog, and the cranes are so graceful in this morning's 365! And that little witch trying to decide which broom to ride! Our high to be 69 today!  Yay!

dense fog this morning - current temp 54 - high of 78

Oldguy - Wow, that was a great amount raised for the Children's hospital!

Lani - Cute 'nite' gif!

Clynn - Like Dobie Gray!   Your Mom traveling with such young children back when you were so young - amazing Mother with much strength!  Thank you for sharing this story of your Mother and your Father. :-*    Just read more of your Dad in your post to Tsk - Wow, so much to be proud of both of your parents!
Lol! 'Good two-shoes'  ;D     Gorgeous scenery along the riverboat ride - bet it was such fun for your friend!   Love Berry College E pics  ;D

Tsk - Thank you :)    Awe, not easy for Tom & Barb to make the decision to sell - lots of years of history & friends there!

Phyl - Back then (probably '69?), teachers had the power to reprimand their students - my Dad did go over to the school and met with that teacher!
         Liked Nature of the Cranes in France  :)     Beautiful pic at the MS River Flyway  ;D


We are leaving here around 9 this morning for a visit to hubby's brother & SIL and will spend the night!  They are retired too, so its fun to plan things during the week like this!  It takes about 2.25 hrs to drive there.

Good Morning! 😀 47 degrees!  Bright sun! Not to get too excited though as it will soon be creeping back to the upper 70s! 

Tsk, i am not surprised at Toms reaction to trekking to Florida and all that entails!   Barb can fly down for a visit!
Re hhas.  The first one I got cam Mondays and Wednesday.  She was here from the start!  She had to quit a few weeks ago as her mother had a stroke and was hospitalized to remove clots from both legs!  They were not successful in getting all of them and transferred her to a hospital in Jacksonville!  My hha, a single mother to a young boy with serious issues, lived with the mother,  she was the main care giver for tge bot while my hha worked two jobs and went to school to get her ged so she could go to nursing school!   They really have no support system here as the have been here for about 2 years.  Moved here from NY! I worry about her!
Her replacement has been here for 3 months or so and she’s been essentially good!   These jobs are usually filled with low skilled workers and they are very easy to get and are low paid!  These people bring out the social worker from my past life!

Speaking of which, the stuff brought to the church is the reason Red Cross and others discourage folks from sending clothes to disaster areas!  Some if not most of what is donated robs the victims of what remaining human dignity they have and belongs in the garbage!  On the other had much is inappropriate!  I am reminded of a train car load of heavy mens woolen overcoats from a manufacture in MN sent to a flood in South Mississippi.  Also a large number of white size 12 mens tennis shoes!   There was also a ton of baby potato soup!  Every one got a case with the advice that it was wonderful mixed with bread or biscuit dough!  A night mare created by well meaning folks or those looking to clean out stuff!

Tmi, have a good day!

Hello to...kb, tig, Puff, baz and all  :D

tsk - Oh my, a dead opossum, that would have scared me.  Was going to ask why Barb & Tom are selling, but I see you answered.  Glad to hear the coat drive turned out well. 

karen - LOL, She will not become president of the company but she is  fine, pleasant and will be coming 5 days a week!   Good luck at eye docs!

E4E & Lani - I know, I was a lil disappointed in the electric bill.  It was $251 last month, and $231 this month.  Our meters are read by computers at the home office, so if it does not go down again this month I am calling.  We have not turned the system back on.  I don't even think we have went to Winter rates yet. 

E4E - Thank goodness you didn't lose you post.   :D

clynn - Wow, beautiful fall colors on the Mississippi boat ride!  Good to see the Berry's have started nestorations.

Phyl - Cute morning greeting....so many brooms to choose from!  Thanks for the 365.  Love the Flyway pic, too.

Lisa - just wanted to ask. Do you have one of the newer Smart Meters?...We all now have smart meters for gas, electric, and water.....
I'm deeply suspicious when our first round of them turned out to be faulty. Second round?..one of our citizens has been contesting a 2,000 dollar water bill for 3 months, which is literally impossible with all toilets leaking the entire time.
The city will NOT give him a break.

More investigation into these meters needs to be done imho....independently that is.

Karen, You like her as your hha, and that's the most important thing! Take care.

Lisa, Do you have a yearly/monthly rate you can compare? Our monthly utilities bills comes with a comparison page for the same month period the previous year. I have to watch our propane winter bills. We have gas stove/furnace. In the summer, it's down to $16.99 and in the winter it can go up to $350+. We use a propane tank for our BQ and I don't use the gas in our fireplace. I hope you can find the answers before winter kicks in, so you can plan your monthly allowance. I keep close track week by week.

Clynn, sweet Chickadee, soon we'll have quite a few settled here for the winter. We do have a couple of pairs that stay here year round. We love watching run up and down the pines....  One of my favorite songs by Yusuf/Cat Stevens... Wonderful family history of your mom and dad's journey in their young life together. You and your sisters were very blessed with such a strong and loving foundation.... beautiful Fall landscape down the Mississippi! ... thanks for Berry pics.

Tsk, that is great news about the coats and children's coats too!  ;D. I can understand Tom's need to be near medical care. A lot of owners here in our community return to the valley to be near Mayo, and other large health facilities. Also, the elevation is difficult for those with breathing issues... We do have 2 lifeline helicopters, as it takes almost 2 hours to reach a larger hospital. It will be a change for Barb, I can understand she'll miss her winter life in Florida... Both Mike's brothers live in Florida now. They don't plan to return to Kansas.

Eagles, I'm sorry your brother went through a terrible treatment by a teacher. He should have bee fired... Safe travels and enjoy your visit with your BIL/SIL!  :)

Puff, IR light doesn't have anything to do with whether or not the cam is solar-powered. IR light is InfraRed light. The cam has used IR light for night views for many years.  We know when cam view turns to black and white that it switched over to IR (when the available daylight gets below a certain level).

EAGLES   Enjoy your couple days away.  ;D

KAREN  Wow, I guess it happens everywhere.  I respect your time with the Red Cross.  People have no idea what goes on behind the scenes.

LISA  Do you find tho that your lights are on longer with the nights coming sooner?  LANI had a good idea about comparing bills.

KB  Oh my gosh - Who ever has a $2,000 water bill?  Maybe a mansion with a pool?  City is nuts!   In our town there is one channel where you can take your problems to the gal who investigates problems just like this and usually ends up winning for the people.

LANI  Beautiful squirrels sharing.   Awww  making memories together.  :(

tsk - good for your city....here they don't care any longer about the citizens who pay their salary.
I should know as well. I've had the Supervisor at my house at least 3 times..
And, not a mansion with a pool, a typical 1950's rambler....I feel sorry for him.

Tamarack Wildlife Center - Happy National Opossum Day!
While there is some debate over celebrating this day on October 17th vs. 18th, we compromise and believe that Virginia Opossums should be celebrated EVERY day! Each year, Tamarack treats between 200 and 300 opossums. Most of those patients are orphans rescued when they lose their mother.
This Fall, we are happy to welcome our newest education Ambassador Opossum, Tammy! Tammy is missing part of her tail, which in the wild would be vital for maintaining balance and stability while climbing, and collecting and carrying nesting materials.

kb - I would guess you could call it a smart meter....it is computerized, and no one comes out to actually read it.  Our water meter is the same way, done by a blue tooth reader, but the town public works guy is the one who comes out and does that. Our water reading is always high too, for just two people. 

Lani - I just checked my Quicken for last years bill at this time.  It was $189 compared to the $231 this month.  Nothing has changed on what I do here daily, but inflation and that is quite a hike for electric if that is the case. Awww, LOVE the making memories!

Now it's talk about something new - well, not new, just a different topic.

I had a SIL who was a beautician.  I also had a lot of thick hair with a lot of body.  She convinced me to stop using rollers (at the time it was heated rollers).  Took to Blow Styling.  I haven't had a roller of any kind in my hair since, 1975 I'm guessing.  Bad news though is that I've lost the volume and it became fuzzy and straight.

clynn - I agree on the big jump, especially for not even having used my AC or heat all last month.  Oh, my MawMaw curled my hair once with those and made me sleep with them.  I cried all night.  ;D
Have safe trip!

tig - Our new YMCA just opened last week.  I am waiting to see what kind of water exercise classes they will have.  Nice view at your house!

Lani - Aww, she sent you their pics!  Yes, the pics she sent me, they sure have grown and Daisy does look like her Mama!  I like the new name..Katspurr!

Puff and tsk - Hi there  :)

Clynn, how was the surprise?  Hope the flight was pleasant!   Loved the picture of the Pisgah Forest as winter tries to settle in!   Tge area is wonderfuk in all 4 seasons!

My eyes were so dialared yesterday that I had a pain in them until just a little while ago so will wave to all with thanks for great thoughts and pictures!   Seds

SED Karen, glad your eyes are better.

Hi Eagles, glad you had a good time. I've always thought packing for one night or long weekend is just as time hectic as for a week or two. I hope the drive was nice.  :)

I don't know what to say y'all about not seeing this photographer's picture, same one who shot the video of the 6 moose together, Katie Slanga...I still see it but oh well, I tried..

Mowed my steep back hill, mulched in the leaves, and finished just before the rain started, whew.

Tsk, A few years ago, when Lucky was younger he spent his winters with Ted in his chalet. Sweet Ted was very sad when Lucky outgrew his affection for him. Then Dr Rogers had to separate the two bears.... great idea for a raffle item! Take care  :-*.  Prayers for those who will seek comfort and warmth from your coats! 🙏🏽.

Tig, have a good day  :)

Kb, gorgeous moose... either my firewall or Adblock doesn't allow it. I don't know why can't watch your video. Sorry.

Karen, Yes, I just read Paulie's post that you suggested.What an awesome experience! I'll send her a pm. ;D The autumn season for Bulls to gather their Harem (cows) and young (calf) by bugling, baby making time... There are a few hundred herds of elk here in Rim Country... We hear the bugling call of the bulls in the early morning or late evening hours. Sadly, autumn and spring are the times elk can get hit crossing the highways. So, whether hiking or driving we need to be more aware of our surroundings.

Howdy Beakers!  :D

KB, Very nice still photo of the moose by Katie Slinga. I also can't view that Katie Slinga FB video using that link to the That's So Minnesota FB page - I get the same error message others have mentioned. I went to the That's So Minnesota FB page, and it says that it is a Private Group, and only group members can view the member list and what they post there...
         ... BUT... I found the KARE11 public FB page (they're a TV station in Minnesota), and I saw a reference to them sometimes posting the videos from the That's So Minnesota FB private group. So, on the KARE11 public FB page, I searched and found a 13-second video by Katie Slinga there, with the caption, "6 moose. I literally can not believe it." Is it the same video you were wanting to post the link to yesterday?
6 moose video by Katie Slinga:
https://www.facebook.com/100094495351608/videos/1040550433799880/ This link will let you "X" out the big box that comes up, and then you can see the video. Maybe it's the same video you wanted to post the link to.

TSK, wow on that donated $500+ Coach brand children's coat! Good thing someone caught that! As I was reading your post about it, I was thinking that you should sell it for proceeds to donate. I hope it fetches a good sum from the raffle.  :)

Lani, ((Toroa and OYW))  :-* :-* ((Lucky and Holly))  :-* :-*  ((Brooks Falls Bears))  :-* :-*

Phyl - Liked Nature!

Tsk - Interesting about the Child's 'Coach' coat!!

Lani - Sad that this is the time that Elk can get hit crossing roads

Lori - Like the Anniversary wish for Clynn & Ed  ;D

LisaG - That would be a good idea to look into the price increase, although I know it is not a fun thing to do! :-[

Kb - Wow, what a vid of the two men untangling 2 big moose!!!

Lori, love your anniversary cake and posts for Clynn and Ed. Clynn will love the car and cake!  ;D  :-*

SED Karen, I missed the visit and gifts given to you by your vet. You do have the best vet who is a wonderful friend.  ;D   Thank you Tsk for posting.  ;D

Tsk, How did today go for the coats? I'm excited to follow Buttons and his mate. He's a beauty, but then they all are. LOL!

Baz, thanks for the moose link. They are awesome, especially the big Bull.

Kb, awesome video of the moose and friends.... I couldn't watch the elk tangled racks. I had to fast forward it. YAY! Glad they were helped to be released. They could have been there forever.

SED Eagles  :)

Brokenlug, perfect ending to the day.


Good night!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

KB  Wow  how on earth did that happen around the tree?  What a puzzle to untangle those elk.  Beautiful photo from out your window.  Trees really pop.

LANI   The two hour shift I had saw 48 clients ( they had planned for 32 but there were 7 of us volunteer "personal shoppers" so it went faster)  The first afternoon shift had 50 clients signed in.  Each client had a piece of paper showing how many coats they needed for family members.  My first client needed 8 coats  LOLOL  I saw about 7 clients in that time.  Final count will be at next Thurs's meeting as to how many coats were given away.

PHYL   Great snap.  Brave squirrel and an eagle with no eyes behind his head  LOL   Oh no! The thought of HM  HD finding a new tree - I hope not  :(        I love the first snowfall.  ;)

Busy today with errands and dog walking.

Thinking of trying this recipe....looks good but more importantly I love the format of a you tube video..
What do you all think?.I'm buying the necessary items and will try this weekend.

Karen - Thank you for the recommendation to read Paulie's story in Cheers!   BTW, your Vet sounds extra special! :) :)

Phyl - Beautiful pic of HD & HM!   Your temps today are almost identical to our area!   Loved Nature this morning - pretty snow - cute squirrel.  Great cam pics  ;D

Tsk - You are sure busy with the coat drive / give away - very nice!

Lani - Re the Deer/Elk (?) antler entanglement vid - it did have a perfect ending!

Tig - Nice of you to try and help Paulie with her picture.

Morning tsk, Puff, karen, tig and all

Phyl - Thanks for the 365, and RRP blog post.  I posted later in the DE thread.  I was kinda busy yesterday.  :)

Lani - Love your good night witch kitty.  :D

E4E - Cute Halloween greeting last night, and no not a fun thing to do.  :-\

kb - Sorry about your ash tree losing all the leaves, but those trees in the back with the golden leaves are very pretty!

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on October 20, 2023, 09:58:29 AM

Lisa - it's okay. My ash turned all yellow before dropping and it's one of the first to drop, but also one of the first to leaf out in the spring...I still have 2 maples, front and back to turn and drop..

All the ash around here are a little different too.
My two neighbors both have one and both drop in my yard but they drop later than mine so I do triple ash leaf pick up....someone told me it's either male/female ash or slightly different species of ash..they all look the same to me, green ash but who knows. It's always been that way.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Puff on October 20, 2023, 11:00:28 AM

Backyard has 3 ash (lost one to the beetles)  kb  .  Mine are all for one and one for all.  And, when/if they decide to fall, it's usually after the others.  And, what I always felt amused about - when they fall not only is it synconized but it is wham all fall and it only takes 20 hours. I call them my instant naked trio!   :o

KAREN   That was quite a story from Paulie.  Thanks for bringing it to our attn.  Being in the right place at the right time and glad she didn't go out with her husband  LOL

BAZI   This free coat give-away is sponsored and happens at Catholic Charities.  They have many fund raising events where it will come in handy.  They are not subsidized by the Archdiocese of Chicago.

TSK, um, okay. I'm not sure - I hope I didn't say something wrong about hoping that expensive Coach coat raises a lot of money in the raffle. You all gave away a lot of coats so far! That's great!  :)

Puff, LOL on your instant naked trio of ash trees!  ;D


Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


I'm headed out to get my grocery shopping done before the rain gets here - the clouds are moving in quickly! :)


TGIF!!  HAPPY FRIDAY, BEAKERS!!!  ;D

Tsk  Sounds like the coat drive is a success.  Y'all bring alot of warmth to so many.  :-*
The moment I snapped that shot of Little Squirrel it turned and high-tailed down the trunk. So funny.  Yep!  Bald eagle w/o eyes in back of head.  ;D

KB Great Bald Eagle this AM. Yesterday I almost had that very type snap watching Decorah Eagles on Explorer.  :P   That broccoli recipe has my attention!
Jeepers. I'd eat them w/o the sauce.   Thanks.   Love maple leaves in the Autumn

E4E so glad your mom like you hair dresser. Any plans for a lunch after?

Lisa  Yeah. Figured you were occupied w/other things.    Any Sydney visits coming up?   :)

Puff my antique rocking chair is of ash wood.   Your  'instant naked trio'.  ;D

Tig looked up 'Killers of the Flower Moon' on IMdb. Has a big name cast and director, crime thriller.  When you've watched...what's your review?

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: tsk34 on October 20, 2023, 02:19:05 PM

KB   Recipe looks delicious but I would never take all this time for a veggie!  Would definitely eat it if served.

EAGLES  Have a good time with Mom.  Now all you need is a tea shop to complete the get together. ;D

LANI   You'll end up doing firewise alone   - no Aly/Mike to help this time. :(

BAZI   No no no  You said nothing wrong. I personally had always thought Catholic Charities  - a huge organization - had been subsidized but no, so subsequently have to do a lot of fundraisers to stay in business. And of course there is always some corporate support as well.   Wild Friday night  LOL

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Puff on October 20, 2023, 02:47:25 PM

Yes KB  My company does treatment every two years.  It's a shame so many were chopped down in panic.  One of the Ash is finally looking presentable.  They did a radical pruning of the dead branches UGLY was the only word for about 5 years.  Now the rag-a-muffin has a place at the table.  Ash killings kinda like the Covid - over kill.  Years of nice, my birds love all my trees, 6 still in the back for the birds (also a locust, Aspen, and Chinese maple).  Top billing still goes to the fantastic duo out front - Crimson Maple and Colorado spruce.

What is nice about the behavior of the ash trees is that you have to rake just once.  Even the locust - its tiny leaves just blow away in the wind.  I'm like generous, I like to share. 
The sharing of the maple is not so welcome --billions and billions of big, deep red leaves , 3x cleanup.  But to be honest, since they took away my mower the grass crew does them mostly.  But the grass likes when I scratch their back with the rake; I can hear them oooh and awhhhh.  And not only do I get to enjoy the air and sun, it gets me up and out.  (And with the predominence of south to north winds the leftovers end up down at the end of the block.  Michael never said thanks come to think of it.
Lani thought of you a couple times this week on the news shows.  Some had footage they were showing of the houses out west buried in tumbleweeds.  Did you happen to see any of the showings?  You're so diligent/hardworking following your HOA rules!  I guess some are not as regulated or concerned.

Puff - not true of my Ash...I have mowed over 4 times so far....now it's done.
Sad about how quick they are to take them out though, when treatment is the answer and incidentally less expensive than removing them. One of those things that gov't does without common sense imho, take them out rather than treat too often.

My honey locust, killed by gas line and AT and T...(digging) was a pain in the arsh.
Dropped often but remember where leaves fall is the real problem.

As I have so much garden/not grass....leaves like locust that only dropped in my garden meant hand picking up...same in the back with neighbor's ash.

It's easy to mulch/or bag leaves on grass.....in gardens: Not so much.

Some lovely fall scenes on here lately!  Todays by Lisa was great!  No pictures of the kitties? 
Lani,enjoy the weekend with Mike!   I thought you had done some firewising not long ago!  .  ?  Time flies you know!   Had my last medical appointment for October this afternoon!   Have two in November!  Will have to find something else to do for excitement!   Got my last two shots today ,st Walgreens.  A pfizer covid and flu! So far no problem, not even a sore arm.  Much smaller needle than tge two at publix.  The pharmacist commented that they had recently received new needles and he thought they were much better!
Did some shopping to wile away the 15 minutes they ask you to wait after the covid shot!

When
Ifist came to Valdosta I boarded my z3 shih tzus at a vet practice and had them checked over,  long story short I became my vets first client!  I followed her to another practice and now she is retired from there. She still works for practices in a few towns around here when they need help and she runs a dog boarding and training business in town!

I gave her my medical power of attorney.  The person I has initially namedwas diagnosed with dementia and I thought it was time for a change!   She is a gem.

Off to eat a bite of something and emoty the dryer!  And Tsk, that is wonderful about tgecoat drive!  Have a few I could g ace added to the pile!

Phyl - I am hoping that Ms Sydney comes to my house for Halloween, so I can see her in her lil costume.

My honey locust, killed by gas line and AT and T...(digging) was a pain in the arsh.
Dropped often but remember where leaves fall is the real problem.

As I have so much garden/not grass....leaves like locust that only dropped in my garden meant hand picking up...same in the back with neighbor's ash.

It's easy to mulch/or bag leaves on grass.....in gardens: Not so much.

Ants got my first locust, one I have now only 20? yrs.  Second one doesn't have messy pods - means its a male?  But then bad decision, only real place for waterline for fountain meant fountain got placed closed to the tree.  You know what I'm going to say. . .  A few times all summer I have to empty and clean out the falling stuff out of the pump.  But it's right close to the furniture so I can help themshower so they don'tmiss any spots.   ::)

Puff - Awe, sorry for you losing one of your ash trees to beetles. :(

Lani - Hope Mike is home now - Monday will come around way too fast!

Tig - Pool time  :)

Kb - Did Ollie enjoy bath time today? ;)

Phyl - No lunch today after my Mom had her haircut.  We went to a couple of places to run errands, and then she was ready to go home!

Tsk - My Mom likes to stick close to home these days - so we went to the bank and to the grocery store - then I took her home (her request).  She enjoyed her haircut and we had a very nice time together.

Oldguy - Good for you in having no probs with the shots!

LisaG - I hope they bring Sydney to your house on Halloween! ;D

Beakers have a nice evening  :)

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Lisa, the sky threatened, but it didn't actually start raining here till about 4:00 or 4:30 this afternoon. So I got my grocery shopping and another errand run, and I got in a 45-minute walk before the rain! Yay! I missed walking a couple days this week, so I'm glad I got out there today. I hope you get to see Sydney dressed up for Halloween!  :) :-*

OG, glad you got your vaccines and didn't have any problems.  :)

Karen, you're done with the doctors for the rest of the month!  :D Glad your two vaccines went smoothly. You are Piper's health POA.  ;D

TSK, oh good. Whew.  :)  Oh, I hope the comedy play is entertaining and fun.  :)

Lani, so much firewise work! I know it's important though. Do I remember you had some hired help last go-round of that?  I hope you will again this time. Hope you and Mike enjoy the weekend!  :)

E4E, that's great your mom likes going to the same hair stylist you like going to. I always think that's a relaxing treat.  :)


I'm tired... so calling it a night.

Tig, sounds like a powerful movie. Thanks.

Kb, that's a big Ash tree! Lots of leaves to pic up. Your nieghborhood fall colors is lovely.

Tsk, yes, it's just me and it was this summer too. Though I hired someone to help me with cutting down tree limbs, removing two small dead trees and taking them to recycle at the park lake in June. And I did the rest.... Enjoy the play tonight! Mike and I will watch the AZ Diamondbacks.  ;D

Oldguy, I loved Dash the stray cat story. Thanks for links. Take care.

Phyl, thank you for St Christopher's prayer for Mike's travels.

Karen, Glad your shots went smoothly. Wonderful to have a friend you trust as your POA....I hope you're done with doctors for awhile....  Yes, we firewise twice a year, let our HOA know we're keeping up with it, and inspections are held every 3 years.... {{{Piper}}}

Lisa, I can do the raking and taking care of the bushes and yard debri myself.

Puff, you have beautiful trees. Memories of our homes in Kansas, and the tree Doc we used. The trees were always injected with something...Our HOA will inspect our area next May. You get fined if you're area has not been firewised during a 3 year period. That's not a problem with us, but I'm preparing just in case something happens and I can firewise in the spring right before inspection. Other homeowners may hire a contractor to help them, but I enjoy doing the work while I can.....No, I missed seeing the showings. But, I remember seeing tumbleweeds in western Kansas during the windy hot August months, rolling across farmland or interstate 70.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWR6FLnPack

SED Eagles, I bet you both had a nice day. Yes, Monday will be here too quickly.

Baz, I won't need help with the Fall Firewise. Raudel told me to call him if I needed help. But, it's okay... It keeps me busy while Mike's gone.  ;D .. my bed and the pets are calling me too. Sweet Dreams and peaceful rest.  :-*

Puff and Karen  ;D

(http://SWFL Eagles ~ Testy F23 Wants To Place HER Sticks! 😊 Nips At M15! Nest Building & Closeups 10.20.23)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdYF7Sn5MSo

Oct 20, 2023  #southwestfloridaeaglecam
F23 flies in to the nest with a big stick and it gets caught on the side rails. She leaves it there & aerates the bowl when M15 flies in with a clump of grasses and lands on her tail feathers! He leaves the grass there and starts to move the stick she brought in and F23 nips at him - that is her stick don't move it!! 😊 M powers through and starts aerating the bowl and gets another little beaky nip - they are too close to one another! M goes to the spike & F23 flies off the nest and grabs a stick on the fly in the front pines and returns to the nest. M15 wants to help so he hops to the nest but F23 wants to place HER stick and nips at M again.

Later they both are seen on the veranda - and we have nice closeups of our handsome M15 ♥ He flies off and brings back grasses. Beautiful closeups of F23 on the attic while he places his grass. M15 joins her and they exchange vocals and preen in sync - taking a break from their nest work.  Thank you for watching!

Here’s Why Animal Activists Celebrate Black Cat Awareness Month in October
Animal rights activists across the country are celebrating Black Cat Awareness Month in October, to improve their image and to protect them.

https://www.greenmatters.com/p/black-cat-awareness-month-october

Most shelters won't adopt out black cats for this super disturbing reason.
If you have a weak stomach, you may want to skip this: for years, it's been rumored that people like to sacrifice black cats during the month of October. That's why many shelters often won't adopt out black cats on or around Halloween — some just skip the entire month of October.

Eagles4 - Ollie man did NOT have the above reaction to his bath.

In fact, I've noticed in the last few months or so, he's much more relaxed about bath time and toe nail clipping. I don't know if it's just that he's more trusting than he used to be meaning over time he knows he'll be okay and end up back home from vet and/or he's aging out of the "panic" stage. He's 8 1/2.

I just clip him to an outside lead attached to the deck, throw a kneeling pad down for myself, and 2, 1/2 filled 5 gallon buckets of warm water from inside...(still heavy). I use a smaller plastic container to gather the water to wet him, Baby Shampoo, and then more water for rinse.
Of course he shakes periodically and I get massively wet.
He's only bad now at letting me dry him with towels...took most of the day yesterday for him to completely dry!

I tried that broccoli cup recipe I shared a few days ago:

That way I don't have to watch my neighbor's whole tree rain on my driveway!..kitchen is other side of house.
LOL

The only tedious part was grating the broccoli...I have a tool/machine that does it but I was too lazy to pull it out of cupboard and clean etc...so did it by hand....next time.

Tasty and not that hard, tsk...
The only thing I'll do differently next time, is use less oil in the cupcake holders...the broccoli cup wasn't hard enough..crumbled a little when cutting...
Have to try it to find these things out.....still very tasty

These are Inca, Aztec and Manchu. Black Jaguars who arrived at Tiger Haven at just 3month of age. Born at an accredited zoo that breeds for many other zoos and parks throughout the country. Apparently a boom year for male cubs with no females born to pair them up with. The zoo asked Tiger haven to provide a home for the three 'fellas' . If you look closely at Aztec, standing in the back, you'll see the 'rosettes' , Cheetah , Bengal cats and Leopard cats are known .
Tiger Haven is a big cat sanctuary here in Tennessee .

Karen that is a  very good question. If the zoo is looking for males to breed with the females---then I guess they'd be transferred. I don't think  Mary Lynn  would hold them back knowing they'd be in a good place and treated well.
For sure would not call 'kitty, kitty' to them.
Did William ever 'ring your door bell" ?

I'm thinking the whole thing took maybe an hour?..30 minutes total of cooking, lots of cutting and grating and then the sauce.

Chris liked them even though he doesn't like parmesan cheese. but loved the sauce which covered that a bit for him...He suggests bacon or something else on top next time!.....instead of parmesan. There is feta inside the cups with the vegies...don't think he noticed it..

12 of them is a bit much as they are filling, so I'm thinking of trying to freeze some...not sure that will work out, but hey I just have to try new things once in a while. I think they'd be great to bring to a party as appetizers or something like that.

I worked outside most of the day again, emptying and bringing inside one of 3 hoses, all art and annuals gone and then I used a plastic shovel to shovel up all the leaves on my driveway which was totally covered.
The rest will drop I suppose the next few days and then who knows?..I'll probably bag them up.

Like my sis says. It's not fair. She has 2 of the many of her trees that blow into neighbor's yards but she gets many from the farm neighbor in her back..
Me, nada. None of mine blow into anyone else's yard...but I get 3 that do besides my own 3, Not fair.. ;)

We oddly noticed multiple Praying Mantis on our walkabout today.  I find that odd

Notably more than we can ever recall seeing in any other given outing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St6jyEFe5WM 

We gave them all a piece of our walking banana and they were summarily disinterested.  :) 

I'm going back to what I know is semi-true.

Charlotte my Grandma 1st placed a small river stone in the palm of my hand, maybe 6 or 7, a Woolly Bear Caterpillar in the other.

TSK... No bird seed all summer. Must be the lush garden and long grass. I might try removing the day lilly leaves this Fall instead of waiting until Spring. Will see. Hopefully the neighborhood roaming cat will find it.

International Stuttering Awareness Day
(https://www.daysoftheyear.com/cdn-cgi/image/dpr=1%2Cf=auto%2Cfit=cover%2Cheight=465%2Cq=70%2Csharpen=1%2Cwidth=1000/wp-content/uploads/international-stuttering-awareness-day-1-scaled.jpg)
In a world where fluency of speech is often taken for granted, this condition emerges as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

People make jokes about everything—about blondes, about citizens of every country in the world, about men, women and children and teenagers, about cultures, history and religion, about various human conditions or mindsets…some of them are genuinely funny, and some of them are downright cruel and offensive. In particular, jokes about disabilities can be very mean-spirited and hurtful towards those who have those disabilities as well as their friends and families. And that’s why so many different disability awareness days exist, to help us understand how much harder the lives of the disabled are, even when their disabilities seem relatively minor. Stuttering can pose real problems in both the personal and professional lives of those suffering from it and take years to get under control, not to mention the amount of embarrassment and frustration it can cause in the meantime.

Stuttering has been the subject of interest of many physicians over the millennia, with one of the most famous stutterers being prominent Ancient Greek statesman and Demosthenes. Demosthenes, who lived in the 4th century BC, could not speak without stuttering and was often mocked by his peers, causing him to become determined to get his condition under control, especially since he was an extremely intelligent man who had plenty to say about Athens’ political situation. One of the tactics he used was to practice speaking loud enough to be heard over the waves with pebbles in his mouth, and after much hard work, he succeeded. Other famous people who have had to deal their stutter include the Roman Emperor Claudius, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, and James Earl Jones, whose voice the world knows as that of Darth Vader himself.

Sydney went on her first outing yesterday.  She attended the Renaissance Festival.  She went in her lil dragon costume, which you cannot see very good, but I have a feeling that is what she is going to be for Halloween.

tig - so sorry about Rosie...I hope there is curative treatment for her. Keep us posted.

Eeks, I've been in hustle mode and been outside since around 8 am....all outside water faucets closed and hoses away....all furniture but a few pieces moved and tarped.

Reason: Snow is predicted next weekend...

Going to mow and bag today before a long stretch of cold rain heads in and then the likelihood of snow.

Andrew is out of town till next weekend of snow but said he'd put up my fencing, gutters again and some final work before we all call it a day on this season.

I've seen this for a few days on twitter...just remarkable. Footage filmed by a dog walker shows the moment strong winds lift up the forest floor in Mugdock, Scotland.

Good Evening Beakers

Another sunny and mild day - high of 62 - forecast to get to the mid 70s the next 2 days with rain starting Tue. evening...

Today's flash back artist is Brenda Lee...  Born in 1944 - was singing from the counter of a candy store at age 3 to get free candy for her family. Her father died from a construction accident when she was 7,  leaving her Mom and 3 kids penniless.  By age ten she was the primary money earner for the family singing on local radio and TV shows.  By age 12 she was on national TV talent shows and got a music record contract.  She was always small for her age - at 12 she was the size of a 6-7 year old - as an adult she was 4 foot 9.  At 13 she started touring the US, promoting her records, and went on international tours by age 15.  Despite all the tours, she did not make steady money until 1960, after her hit "I'm Sorry".
Despite articles to the contrary, Brenda Lee is still alive according to the fact finders on the internet.

Today is...
International Snow Leopard Day
These majestic creatures prowl the mountains with grace and power, their stunning coats blending seamlessly into the snowy landscape.

(https://www.daysoftheyear.com/cdn-cgi/image/dpr=1%2Cf=auto%2Cfit=cover%2Cheight=465%2Cq=70%2Csharpen=1%2Cwidth=1000/wp-content/uploads/snow-leopard-day-scaled.jpg)
The first International Snow Leopard Day occurred on the 23rd of October in 2014. The main purpose of this day is to show the importance of snow leopard conservation and raise awareness about this incredible animal. The day also emphasizes the importance of taking measures to stop poaching, as well as consolidating efforts in terms of an environmental organization in the countries of the snow leopard range.

The day was initiated by the countries that encompass the snow leopard’s range. They include Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Russia, Pakistan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, India, China, Bhutan, and Afganistan. On the 23rd of October, in 2013, these countries signed the Bishkek Declaration regarding the conservation of the snow leopard. This happened in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek, at the very first Global Snow Leopard Forum.

Fascinating Facts About Snow Leopards
*Snow leopards are able to prey on animals that are up to three times their own body weight.

*They have massive, thick tails, which are able to help them maintain balance and shield them from harsh weather. Their tails are almost as long as their entire body.

*A study from the WWF has recorded snow leopards living at 5,859 meters above sea level. This is the highest altitude that has ever been documented for big cats.
*This is about the same height as the highest mountain in Canada.

*You may be surprised to learn that snow leopards are not able to roar. Instead, they mew, yowl, and growl. They also prusten, which is also known as chuffing. This is a non-threatening vocalization, which is made when they blow air through their nose.

*The fur on the stomach of a snow leopard is almost five inches thick. This is so that they can survive in the harsh and cold mountain climates.

*These animals are often referred to as ‘ghosts of the mountain’ because they spend most of their lives in solitude and they are rarely seen.

*Snow leopards are the only big cats that call Asia’s cold deserts their home. These deserts are sometimes referred to as the third pole because they feature ice fields with the biggest reserves of freshwater outside of the southern and northern polar regions.

Indeed!...the change was about 2 weeks late this year.....they say due to the summer drought and higher temps which switched off in October...we've had quite a bit of rain and cooler temps..Kind of scary earlier this fall when things looked much more dire.
My walk with Ollie this morning was spectacular just around my house....color that is.

That was disturbing in that broadcast news air a new idea out on the airways for any other disturbed person can have a new idea to  work with.  Then, the real bad news group actually had a live interior of a similar plane/cockpit.  Animation showed how you'd reach up and grab the two power cut-offs and pull them down.  Made to order instructions?????!!!!!

Washington state to SanFran flight.  They say they're charging him with attempted murder of 84.  Let's see what CA does with "reducing" that charge.
There's always the "psychological" plea.

Good morning Beakers!   Saw the article on the off duty pilot yesterday morning!  He was arrested in Oregon, not Ca as the plane was diverted there and he was removed there!  I am sure he was disturbed!  Cockpits are locked so the average person would not be riding in that jump seat!  Seat is routinely used by pilots returning to home base all of whom would already know about this!  Good ending.
Having nice temps here all week!  No snow!  Lol
Piper had an upset stomach night before last!  Seems ok now!  She would like the walk bl took!  Pretty lane.
Cocp machine is not working right so going to fool with it!   Got a call from a monitor person!  Leaking too much air!   Bbl

Forgot to hit post  ::)

karen -  ;D  Aww, poor Piper, glad to hear she is feeling better.

Phyl - Thanks for kind words on the morning greeting yesterday, and for all the RRP cam pics.

tsk - Yea, Sydney has blue eyes.  My Dad, Bradley and I are the only ones with blue eyes in our family, and everyone else has brown eyes.  I am not sure who on Kelly's side has blue eyes. 

BL - Looks like my kinda walk...paved and tree-lined.

Lani - Her eyes are like a deep blue-grey.

Morning - Puff, kb, tig and all  :)

PUFF  It never ceases to amaze me how the news media just goes about showing criminals how to do the crime altho that info is now readily available on line these days.

KAREN    Hope you can figure it out the c-pap.  Could a representative come to the house/phone call? - You tube vid?  LOL

LISA   Have to tell this funny story about blue eyes.  Mine are blue and in our courting phase ( 43 yrs ago), Tim would always say " you have really beautiful blue eyes" or the like.  So a couple years ago when he was getting my Wisconsin fishing license, he brought it to me and said " put this in your fishing box"   It said my eyes were brown and my hair was black ( my hair when not graying is brown)  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::).   I said " Seriously?"  ::) ::) ::)

Morning/afternoon all!

Been still busy hustling for our colder weather predicted by the weekend...even though I give myself what I think is lots of time to slowly prepare it is a hustle job now...coming fast.
Watching my neighbor's ash rain leaves once again on my driveway/yard...nothing I can do now but hope for time to mow/bag it all up after rain ends, end of the week.

Ugg....strong thunderstorms in the area...one just passed over me. No matter how hard I tried to prepare I can't do gutter leaf removal on the fly....this is why I hate neighbor's trees flowing into mine..
Andrew cleared them just a few weeks ago...Pouring rain over gutters, on the fascia, inside my covered porch. I'm lucky so far nothing inside my house.

Weird weather..Hail just south of me.

It is 81 degrees here!!!  83 is the record.  Off to "close up" the garden at church with a crew of 4 more helpers.

LORI  Nice glimpses of our pets enjoying the beautiful fall days  :D

KB   Tim went to Ace a couple years ago and got clip on gutter guards.  We called in a handy man to install over the gutters where our big back yard maple is.  It has been a godsend!!  Just an idea.

Hmm, been there done that...ash tree seeds still infiltrate...everything depends on your own block...nothing can be fixed in a general way. Was a waste of money for us...ash seeds are very very thin.

In other words, Scott put them on, and then took them off..they caused more problems with them on than off.?..ice dams, I don't remember.....still have them in my garage..

Someday when I need a new roof I'll investigate newer technology, but knowing that each kind is prone to issues..and need one if at all, that will help my block/home situation or not.

Even tho the store is only about 3 blocks  from my house I don’t want togo there.
Went to Publix today and all their battery run carts were in use so grabbed a regular cart and walked the store!  Good for me to get a little exercise.  May go to Lowes tomorrow.  Need fertilizer and potting soil, Christmas light fuses and a few other things!

Lisa, Sydney has gorgeous eyes, like her grandma, dad and grandad  ;D .... Aly is the only one in our little family of 4 that has light blue grey eyes. When she's sad her eyes are grey  :(... Mike's grandfather has light blue grey eyes. Everyone else has brown eyes. Mike has light brown eyes with a tint of green. Now, you know more than you wanted. LOL!!

{{{Karen and Piper}}} I hope Piper is feeling better and you were able to get your cpap working properly. I wonder if youtube may have a DIY video on your cpap. It's usually 3 days before someone can help Mike with any problems with the cpap.... look at you out and about!  ;D

Tsk, Tim!!! LOL!  ;D .. I heard about the gutter guards, what a great idea!

Kb, gorgeous fall pic from high. It would make a crazy puzzle!  ;D ... the sky outside your home looks very dark and grey.

Lori and Destini, Wonderful Fall furry family pics/gifs!  :-*

HI Eagles!  ;D

A busy day here. The Pest Control came for quarterly spray, also dusting of the yellowjacket nest. My DIY & Rescue bait traps has been continuing all this time, it did a good job, but the dusting will help to get the queen. Which has to be done before we can open up the siding to clean out the nest.

YAY Tig! The Diamondbacks win the NL pennant!! Onward World Series!!  ;D

Good night!

World Pasta Day
Twirl, swirl, and slurp - this dish's variety of shapes, textures, and flavors make it a favorite comfort food for many.

World Pasta Day was brought into existence as part of the World Pasta Congress on the 25th of October in 1995. Experts from all over the world came together to discuss the glories of the noodle, with particular emphasis on the importance of spreading knowledge of the world’s panorama of pasta. This organization uses World Pasta Day to promote the eating of pasta, along with its cultural and culinary importance.

The World Pasta Congress engages in everything from encouraging consumers to try new pasta to providing important information to institutions and promotions of this increasingly popular food. Every country is encouraged to celebrate the day in its own way while sharing the logo of the official organization and participating in the global strategy of World Pasta Day.

LANI   Sounds like some good progression with the wasp problem

PHYL   Good timing on greasy foods - Our store has bacon on sale for $3.99/lb  ;D  It's on my list.  Like your menu celebration.  Loved those two woodpeckers. 365   Amy's blog - the stick tango dance was so funny as they all are.  Gorgeous sandhills and solitary eagle.

It's good to be back home! Had a wonderful time with my sisters and Mom, also had several visits with my niece and her family! The weather was nice, not HOT like I thought it would be. We went to one of my great nephew's baseball games, had a cookout for Cathy's birthday, some shopping trips and lots of talking! The traffic was bad, just to get to the grocery store! I could never live with all that! I was so tired when I got home I took a long nap! Kelsey (and Ed) was waiting for me at the bottom of the escalator, that is what she loves to do when we meet someone at the airport! And she loves her new Dallas hoodie and tee shirt! I haven't edited and saved pictures yet... Thank you all for the Anniversary Wishes!

Phyl, wow, the black eaglet has grown! Becoming very beautiful! I guess they are not naming them now?  Good news on Amy's blog, there always has to be a wonky stick dance! Great 365, love the dead tree with all the feeding stations.  We are to get to 72 today, rain starting tonight, 72 and rainy tomorrow and then temps plummet...

Lani, sounds like you made a big dent in the yellowjacket issue! I was wondering how you knew if you got the queen or not. I am guessing she stays in the nest so you have to actually get to the nest to get her, she won't come to an outside trap... cute little pumpkin with the little ghosties floating out!

E4E, yes, I made it home without incident!  Even had an empty middle seat next to me on the plane, which is not usually the case!

karen, I will post a few pictures later, haven't gone through them yet. I bet I got over a hundred texts from Kelsey while I was gone, and she wanted pictures of this and that so I took a lot, almost all just of all of us and Cathy's house!

tsk, funny story about Tim and the color of your eyes and hair...LOLOL! We have the gutter guards on our gutters and they work beautifully! And we have several big trees, our front and back yards will be covered constantly.

Found this:  https://khak.com/experts-weigh-in-iowa-should-not-rake-leaves-this-fall/

Lisa, love the pic of Sydney, she is so very sweet and also beautiful! Her eyes look very dark, I am surprised to hear that they are blue! Whatever they are, they are beautiful!

No bounce
Just got this message from Camper's daughter:

I wanted to let all y’all know Zeus has crossed the rainbow bridge. This past week he has progressively gotten worse. He went on 3 yrs after they said he would not last 2 months. He had the best morning. Went on a walk, got snuggles. He dined on chicken and eggs, much to his delight this week. I know y'all loved him. I held him when he passed. He felt loved.

Tears

{{{Tig, Camper, family and Rosie}}} I'm so sorry for Little Zeus passing.  :'( Gentle hugs for little Rosie.

Welcome home Clynn! Looking forward to seeing your pics.. love your Halloween pics!   ;D

Tig, stunning fall pics... and sweet {{{Zeus}}}  :-*

Phyl, great pics of African Fish Eagle. MpMom and I enjoyed watching a pair of them at Pete's Pond at Mashato's Game Reserve, Botswana years ago. The cam went down a few years ago. Beautiful juvies!

Mike had a meeting canceled for tomorrow.
So, he is coming home today! YAY!
Tired of him being gone so much, since he'll be leaving in
a week for Ohio.
Fall is definitely here! But, we do need rain!
So, please send it our way.
Take care and I'll be back with Albatross update!  ;D

We all walked a very cool Kopje calm down this Maple Soaked road together today.

The only wag was daddy do it again at the end.

There where wild turkey on the right and white tails prancing on the left.

Off leash.

The Maple Color Alley focused .

I'll never know dogs.

Not a one head turn back.

I'll walk you cool 2 footers down this Lane like I knew it.  Never been here before.

BL, gorgeous walk Kopje led y'all down! Who's a good boy?!?  :D :-*

Clynn, welcome home! It sounds like your trip was fabulous fun!!  :)

Karen, ugh... no riding cart at the store... but you powered through! Congrats!  :) I hope your CPAP is working now!  ((Piper)) I'm glad Piper is feeling better.  :-* Tell Piper not to taste all those interesting critters from the yard!  ;) ;D

Lani, glad Mike is returning a day earlier than planned!  :)

Lori, thanks for the fun and pretty Fall pictures!  :D



I didn't ever get my walk in on Monday, but I walked 41 minutes yesterday, and 47 minutes today. Yay!  :)  I don't take anything with me on my walks except a ring with a house key, mail key, and a very loud whistle on it. I mark the time on the clock as I go out the door, and check it when I come back in. I usually change up my walks, and never know how long I have walked till I get home. It's going well so far!  :D


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Have a good evening. Peace. SED.

BAZI   Clapping hands for you  ;) ;)

So 3 years ago we sold our Door County home and of course had to bring back everything that was there.  This meant all kinds of tools and Tim's "stuff".   I got tired of asking him to go through it ( I think he can't begin a project like that - too overwhelming)  so I've been working in small blocks of time to condense ( 3 plastic storage boxes of weather stripping for instance) and making shelf room in an organized fashion.  That went pretty well,  Then there were the tools!
I emptied his basement tool box - under penalty of divorce - and sorted all the tools ( not counting our current junk drawer and the garage tool box) and I had a pile of 25 flat head screwdrivers and about a dozen Phillips head screwdrivers, 6 tape measures, about 6 files, about 2 dozen wrenches - The list goes on and on!!   Bottom line he gave me about half of the screwdrivers to give away and some wrenches LOLOL  The only thing there was 1 of was a pocket size "level".  CLYNN  I've been thinking a lot about ED  LOLOL

TSK... Don't you dare throw my Dad's coffee can of pieces of heavy wire in the garage! Lol. Then there is the basement workbench with the jars of screws and nails hanging from the ceiling. Ya never know when they will come in handy.
Thanx for the thoughts re Zeus. Praying for Rosie tomorrow.
Camper took a condolence card to the house today. Part of what he wrote... " if love could have kept him here, he would have lived forever". Aw.

Maybe not, now that you have done an inventory and he has it fresh in his mind how many of everything there is...  ;D You may have to wait a few years!!  :o :o  How about you tell him they need some tools at church?  ::) If you need another level I have spares!  Need any balloons? Bottle openers? Flashlights? Candles? Tesa Bells?

BL, sounds like a beautiful walk with your furry friends...

tig, so sorry to hear about Zeus...he was so loved in his short time here on earth...  LOLOL on the pieces of wire in the coffee can...we must have one of those somewhere!

Lani, hope Mike is home by now and you two get a little extra time together!  We are supposed to be getting some rain tonight, although it looks like this first round just missed us... Hope you get some soon!

Clynn, welcome home! Your trip sounds fabulous and, were they surprised to see you?  Dallas/Ft.Worth traffic has been a bear for years and I am sure much worse tgan my last adventure driving there!   Sounds like a busy time for you!
Love the pictures of the pumpkin patch!  Bella sure is in the drivers seat!

Cpap machine is still not working too well!   The hose is now connected properly but there is a leak some how on top of my head and in my face. Dread calling them as they will want me to bring the machine as well as the mask and tubing and that is where I think the problem is located.

Baz, good job on your walking!  I have found it easy to walk in stores with the carts!  They work like a walker and I can go pretty fast!   Went to a local hardware ,garden center this afternoon and used one.  Bought some bright pink wave petunias!  If I take better care of them than I did the geraniums life will be good!  One geranium is in the garbage and the other on the screen porch in intensive care!

Lisa, I did not realize your mom made the head bands and bows!  Too bad!  There is a saying, be sweet!

Good picture of the Fish Eagle!

Lani, enjoy your Mike time.  I will be rooting for the Diamond Backs!  As a long suffering Cub fan, I am partial to the National League!

All have a good night.  Been spending a lot of porch time as the temps are wonderful!   Seds

Pip, Kopje and I took the Old Town pickle for a float this afternoon on Lake Tiorati in Harriman State Park, NY.

Absolutely stellar blue skies above the cirrocumulus clouds about to put on a cotton candy color show that at sunset it did. 

As good as the weather gets on this date in this neck of the woods.
73° F at canoe put-in around 3:00 P _ Wind 0.

68° F at 6:00 P at Sunset take-out.

Grueling paddling conditions are ahead I fear my friends.    ;)

Lake me take U on a short afternoon cruise that happens about every 10 years.

The mirror of the lake water halving the sky with the kaleidescope of colors coming from the mountain tops, shore line and islands.

If some hours ever get bottled I want to buy some more of these. 

Captain Kopje eyes straight forward, front paws on the bow deck, hind paws solidly not moving at all in the canoe, tail not even wagging, slightly cocking his head ear to ear .. ~ transfixed by this canoe ever slowly drifting ~ .. creating that optical colored island floating past the far shore horizon affect.

Never saw that ever before ay' boy as we slowed up on the dam.

He turned around and shot us the most priceless look that Pip & I have ever seen from him.

Ruh-roh ..

Did you 2 not see .. you 2 not see .. the earth sliding under your paws ?

We did boy, we did.
It's all good _-_ rocking the boat good boy, come sit.

Kopje came back from the helm and lay down between the thwarts pondering the sight I suspect.

A lot to optically take in if you've never seen it before.

{{{Tig and Camper}}} You can never have enough wire, screws or nails. That's some of my treasure.  ;D

Clynn, Is Ed feeling better? Pretty Tesa Bell... Great pics of the kids! The last pic you can see how much the kids have grown, especially Miss Bella sitting on her mom's lap.  ;D
Mike's home, hopefully for a week or more.

Lisa, Mike's home. I hope all is well with you and Jeff, and of course Bandit and Misty. :)

Karen, you may need new straps on the mask or a new mask..... You're problem is what happens to Mike's mask. When the mask isn't set tight, the air is escaping from the mask and it starts squealing in the middle of the night. :-\ ... we have two extra mask/straps available at all times. Especially since he travels.... good luck with the petunias.

BL, It was a good day...{{{Captain Kopje}}}... Stunning photos, especially the top one.

SED Eagles, Phyl

National Mule Day
These hardworking, sure-footed animals are the backbone of many mountain communities, carrying heavy loads through rugged terrain with ease.

(https://www.daysoftheyear.com/cdn-cgi/image/dpr=1%2Cf=auto%2Cfit=cover%2Cheight=465%2Cq=70%2Csharpen=1%2Cwidth=1000/wp-content/uploads/mule-day-scaled.jpg)

One of the more curious days in the calendar is the annual National Mule Day. Mules may not be quite as common anymore as what they once were, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t appreciate them any less. That’s why this day is still celebrated! Want to learn all about this brilliant annual day? Read on to find out more!

Mule day is exactly what you might think it is – it is a day dedicated to mules! The day originated in Columbia Tennessee, which likes to think of itself as the self-proclaimed mule capital in the whole world. Ever since the day originated, back in 1840, the celebrations have spread and now mules are celebrated in many global locations.

BL  Who wouldn't be better for your journey.  Even us!  A fine job of planting us into the scene.  Calm, beautiful, new visions, happy captain at the helm.  And in the end we have the fruits of our float down the river.  Thanks for sharing the day with us.

Funny comments ladies - and it is us ladies - who discover, analyze, and dispose of all their stuff!  Yes, we're all living for quite awhile under the same mind set that they feel - some day it will come in handy.  But the ones they need are never handy and then we get the quick, must have trip to Home Depot.

I think it was Paulie and me who had the discussion of all the jars, coffee cans, organizers, aerosol bombs, and lids filled with whatever???  I've been on the mission for about a year now reclaiming the garage.  You'd never believe that I've touched anything; it looks like a disaster zone.  When time has been available I've been making donation calls, handing out presents (?) to service providers, or filling the "land fill" container with "stuff".  I've wondered what the sound is like when the "s" gets dumped at the land fill.  It's got to be a loud tinkle, bang, crush, smash in the world when you include all the "s" from tsk, kb, puff, Lani -- so many of us are contributing to the musical sounds of the dumping of the "s".

And you know, honestly, that I haven't even started on my own "s".  ::)
I'll have to ask the Big Guy to gift me some extra time on earth to even almost finish my own collections.  It could be a challenge when you're adding my important things to the mix.  I've had 52 years of memorable time here to amass - Ton only had 44 years.  Mine will be harder to sort through/dispose of - my "s" is more valuable and precious.   :'(

Puff, it sounds like we all have a bunch of stuff to donate, thanks to our thrifty and always prepared men! True comment, a trip to Home Depot when you need something, know you have at least one, and have no idea where it is! And yes, my own wonderful collections of Longaberger baskets & pottery, English teacup/saucer sets, and Siamese cat figurines! And then there will be Mom's stuff...

Phyl, well, at least I don't have to worry about a costume for a dog, and there would be no way whatsoever to get a costume on Harley! Another good 365 of the woodpeckers getting their dinner! Fascinating! 65 right now, high 70 and rainy. 50 tomorrow, 40 Saturday...  That vintage witch costume, very detailed! Loved your good night pic!

Lani, Ed is feeling fine, carrying on as usual! He mowed the yard when we got home from the airport (it was on his list...). So nice that you get some extra time with Mike home! I bet he is enjoying the rest!

BL, beautiful pictures! I saw some similar beauty as we were cruising in to land at the airport! Kopje will be running in his dreams, remembering the best times!

karen, hope you get that darn C-PAP fixed!  I agree, a shopping cart is like a walker, I can walk for an hour or more with a cart! Glad to hear Piper is feeling good again!

Tim Card posted this aerial....it's where I grew up, and the "woods" across the street from my house I grew up in. Those paths were made by us kids....some now are graveled and tarred....grr....
Lucky me however.

Morning all.

A long multiple day rain event might end tonight?..followed by 20 degree below average temps for awhile.
I got most of the outside work done to prepare for winter EXCEPT for lots of leaves front and back to mulch/bag.
And swap a mower with snow blower.
Andrew also still needs to head over next week to finish preparing.

Should still have some days/weeks that will be a bit warmer in November....we shall see.

Meanwhile, housebound and a million dollar chicken being made for brunch later.

Gotta figure out, or not, how to take a broken light bulb out of my over the stove fan hood light fixture.
It went "poof" and now stuck up inside....I think I can just turn the light fixture off and use a needle nose plier to try and remove?...without turning off all electricity in the area of house?...It's up deep under the hood so hard to see.
There are just a few things I find difficult to fix that Scott would have figured out...I'm learning as I go but get frustrated for these small things I CAN'T at least not yet.

Lani - looking forward to albatross update.

Morning Puff   :)

tig - Awww, what a beautiful lil saying in the card for Zeus.

Clynn - Hope Ed is feeling better, now that you are home.  :)  That looks like a great pumpkin patch....cute pics!  Great family pics...looks like everyone had a great time.

karen - Mama has always been into sewing, and use to it alot.  She has slowed down some with it.  I hope you can get your Cpap machine all sorted out. 

BL - Sounds like a great day in the pickle.

Phyl - Love that good night pic.

Lani - Enjoy your time with Mike.  All is good here.  I got a message from Bradley last night, that Stewie & Ziva tripped him Tuesday night while he was watching Sydney causing him to fall.  When he landed he hit the coffee table and fractured his 4th & 5th metacarpal.  He just thought he sprained it, but it was hurting to bad, so he went to urgent care and got xrays.  He is in a half cast for now, but is being referred to orthopedic.

kb - Hmm, I think you would need to turn the electric off to that certain area of the kitchen, or do you have anything plastic to get it out instead of the needle-nose pliers?  I don't know if I would trust just turning the power switch off.  Million dollar chicken sounds good!

Lisa - oh no on Jeff's metacarpal fractures...assuming the fractures are in the shaft they should heal nicely....however, he may not be able to use his hand normally....does his work require hand functioning?.is it his dominant hand?...sorry.

I had an avulsion fracture of my second finger, it's called a mallet fracture, when a similar four legged creature scared me. I was tucking in a blanket over the couch cushions and my big dog Walter barked and startled me therefore I hyper-extended my finger...non dominant hand thankfully.

Our furry kids! ;)

Brother in law advice which I'm going to try:

Cut a potato just smaller than the size of the light bulb part stuck in fixture (not the glass part that's out) and screw it in and then unscrew the potato..

Nope, no jazz potato....or needle nose pliar for that matter.

Chris tried and tried, as was too hard for me to look up that long....it's likely sautered onto the fixture. Only able to get a few pieces of chipped tin?/metal of the previous light bulb out.

Will now likely need a new fan/hood/light thingy over my stove....just hope whomever doesn't need to climb in the attic, but can replace it from the kitchen...it's vented through the attic.

I have one of the two light bulbs that still work and the fan.

Next year only...not affordable yet....dang, I'll need to cook with less light during the dark winter months.

But, I tried!... ;)

Tsk, I envy your 9 hours of sleep... have a good day  ;D

Hi Eagles  ;D

Kb, you can go to your electrical box and shut off the power to your stove hood or kitchen appliances. Have Chris wait in the kitchen and let you know when power is off. Each switch is marked on our electrical box. Then remove broken bulb with pliers. I've done that. It's a quick job. I wish I lived nearby, I'd do it for you. Since Mike has traveled throughout our marriage it's one of the things I've had to learn to do myself.  :) ... beautiful area that you once lived near....

Clynn, great family pics including Marshall! Everyone looks like their having fun, especially baseball game and pizza night! Becky's a great hand with the pizza dough! You have a beautiful family. I bet your mom was over the moon with joy!  ;D ... How wonderful to see Decorah Mom and DM2 together. How grand she looks!  :-*

{{{Puff}}} You've given me a lot to think about this morning. Some difficult decisions I've set aside needs to be dealt with. Sending you hugs and prayers  🙏🏽

Royal Albatross ~ Albies Socializing & Courtship Displays! 💗 10.25.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTDWNMTRQro

Oct 25, 2023
The adolescents continue to arrive and search for a mate for the upcoming season. I could not read any of the bands on these returnees but the one with the nice tiara on its head  is back and at one point we see five albies. They will continue to socialize and engage in courtship displays for the next few weeks. There is one albatross that continues to wait for their mate in the same spot for the past week. ♥ As soon as there is an update from Sharyn on the colony new arrivals I will pin to the comment section. Thank you for watching!

Royal Albatross 💗 Beautiful YRK Flies In & Socializes With Other Non Breeders 💗 10.26.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P79EFau6lAo
 
Oct 26, 2023
YRK has been back for two weeks looking for her mate OGK to return. She flies in and lands right next to a non breeder male albie! The albie has a black darvic band which signifies he is a male and it appears the letters are A87. The A series is for all birds fledging between 2010-2019 - most likely this one is a young non breeder. They exchange skycalls and socialize for a few minutes. A couple more non breeding adolescents show up - a blue banded albie will fly off. You can recognize YRK right now by her bright bands of Yellow Red Black and on her head she has a tiara of some dark feathers. The feathers darken during the winter months and will bleach out to white while albies are incubating their egg over the summer months.

We are still hopeful for OGK's return but if he does not return we wish YRK will have a second chance at love again with a new mate. She will most likely stick around for a few more weeks before flying off. She will return again next year to look for a new mate. ♥ Thank you for watching!

Lani - Hope Mike made it home safely.

baz - You are doing great with your walks!

Have a good night, everyone!

Lisa, thanks!  :)  I have to report on my walks to keep myself honest. LOL!  ;D  Cold, or windy weather, will present a couple of hurdles for me. My eyes do not deal with wind very well, in any temperature.  And cold temps (with or without wind) is very difficult for my eyes to handle. I often wear wrap-around sunglasses to help with wind, and when it's cold. I might have to go ahead and get some ski goggles, or something similar. Also, I have eustachian tube dysfunction, which you know all-too-well about, and I get real problems with my ears in very cold temps if I don't keep them well protected. I have a couple of very warm headbands I use to cover my ears, but I would prefer to use ear muffs. But I have had a devil of a time finding ear muffs anymore that fit my head without giving me a headache, and that I'm not allergic to (can't be made of wool, or mohair, or any form of animal hair).  There's no way I can just order them online - I have to try them on. I'm done with buying ear muffs that I end up not being able to wear, and then finding someone to give them t.  ::)  But I'm going to try to still make my walks happen regularly this winter, even if I skip a day here and there. We'll see how that goes... LOL.

BAZI   Clapping hands for you  ;) ;)

So 3 years ago we sold our Door County home and of course had to bring back everything that was there.  This meant all kinds of tools and Tim's "stuff".   I got tired of asking him to go through it ( I think he can't begin a project like that - too overwhelming)  so I've been working in small blocks of time to condense ( 3 plastic storage boxes of weather stripping for instance) and making shelf room in an organized fashion.  That went pretty well,  Then there were the tools!
I emptied his basement tool box - under penalty of divorce - and sorted all the tools ( not counting our current junk drawer and the garage tool box) and I had a pile of 25 flat head screwdrivers and about a dozen Phillips head screwdrivers, 6 tape measures, about 6 files, about 2 dozen wrenches - The list goes on and on!!   Bottom line he gave me about half of the screwdrivers to give away and some wrenches LOLOL  The only thing there was 1 of was a pocket size "level".  CLYNN  I've been thinking a lot about ED  LOLOL

TSK, thanks.  :) LOL on Tim's tools and duplications.  :D :D  You did a great job of sorting through and organizing them!!

BL, wowie on the beautiful Paddle-in-the-Pickle day for you, Pip, and Kopje! Zero wind, for sure on that flat calm lake. I call that sky cotton candy sky, too, and sometimes, popcorn. Reminds me of a Georgia O'Keeffe sky in a piece of hers on my wall.

KB  Awesome show of color in that drone view of "your forest"   Take a potato cut in half and push into broken bulb and unscrew.  I see I was too late for me potato fix.  ;)   Can you google solutions???  Youtube solutions??

LISA   Oh no for (((Bradley))).  I'm glad to hear young folk can trip over cats as well as us seniors. BUT the fx is not good dominant hand no less- could have been worse tho.

LANI  Loved your AM post about the death of the pumpkin  LOL   I usually get 7 hours of sleep and that is fine.  I missed my favorite early AM hours today  LOL   Such an interesting report on the albies.  Poor YRK who would have to fly off and not breed this year if no suitor appears.

PHYL  Cute monster burgers  ;) ;)   Clever bats  ;)

BAZI  What about a "deer hunter" hat as I call them - all different styles but flaps come down to cover your ears.  I use mine to snow blow as my ears are also sensitive to wind and cold.  Just looking at Amazon - Lots to choose from yet like you say - you would like to try on.

BL, I bookmarked those ear warmers so I can come back and take a closer look - have to avoid the wool, or other styles with animal hair of any type, but I'm sure there are some that don't have any of that. I think I looked at similar style last year - shied away since I couldn't try them first. Will give them another look-see. Thanks!  :)

Lisa, oh no! Bradley! What a scare! I hate that for him. For all of them! Dicey location for the fractures. I hope he will aggressively pursue all avenues for repair, healing, and rehab that will lead to regaining full mobility of those joints and fingers.

E4E, thanks!  My route today was different for much of my walk, but I usually finish with the same last loop that takes me by my mail box on the way back to my abode. :)

Lani, thanks! I walked 46 minutes today Yay!  :D  Oh, that's great that Mike will be home for at least a week! Thanks for the news about the returning Albies, and YRK. I'm hoping for GRK to  make it back, too. Such a bond.  :-*

Clynn, thanks for bringing over Sue B's pics and report on Mom D and DM2 at N4!  :-* :-*

Tsk, 9 hours of sleep would be like Heaven to me. But I get where you're coming from, and it messed up your morning hours.

Karen, yep, I've been glad to have a shopping cart to hang on to at times when I've shopped with a bum knee, ankle, or hip. I think it's mostly flat where you live, but just don't let one get away from you on a down slope - no brakes! Yikes!  :o  I hope you get your CPAP right!


Waving to All the Beakers!  :)


My oven's timer is buzz-buzzing... Gotta run!


Good evening, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Lovely family photos!  You take good pictures but there mist be one of you in there someplace!  Lol!
 Handsome pup as well!  You were missed in the beak and at 🏠 🏠 ! welcome back Clynn!

Lovely falls scenery and good updates on the

albies.  I don’t understand why a single bird has to leave!  Law of the land I guess.

Lisa, sorry about Bradleys break! Will make it hard to take care of the baby! Inam sure Stewie and Ziva did not mean to trip him up.  Good news from your big squeeze!

Baz, can you find an indoor track, Mall, big store, etc for winter walking?

Cpap machine lis fine, I think.  There are serious air leaks where the tubing from the machine connects to the mask, on top of my head and under my nose on the face mask itself. It
  I  have tightened it allI care to!  Yes Tsk, I get the funny noise as I am trying to go to sleep! 

Piper and I are going to bed!  Seds

My garage is only home to excesses of My Stuff!   Valuable items like multiple wreaths, outdoor flags, a few small .christmas trees and tons of ornaments!   Lol!  Have one of each of tge tools you mentioned and ditched the one

Clynn - Thanks so much for posting the wonderful pic of Mom Decorah & DM2!!

Tsk - Good for you - you must have needed the sleep! :)

LisaG - That is great to get the results so quickly!  Oh no, poor Bradley - hope he is not in too much discomfort and that he heals quickly.

Lani - Like the Peanuts vids  ;D  Thanks so much for Royal Albatross updates! ;D

Phyl - Those Halloween Monster Burgers!! ;D

Baz & BL - Nice looking ear warmers for women - great suggestion BL!

Kb - My hubby suggested the same as Lani; to turn off the electricity on your stove hood and then use needle nose pliers to take out the blown light bulb.  He also suggests that once you get the broken part out, replace the bulb with a lower watt.

Tig - Still thinking of all of you and sending hugs.

Beakers have a good night & SEDs.

Karen, yep, I have all those options you mentioned for winter walking. And even though I want to walk for the purpose of being more active, and sitting less, one of my more motivating factors for my walks is getting out to see and be among all the nature around me. Depending on which way I go, my various routes take me by ponds (one of them has a massive gator calling it home now!), thickly wooded areas, shrub and scrub, riverine and inland waterways, and an large expanse of marsh with tall grasses. It's all I can do to keep walking sometimes, when I could easily stop for a long time to explore some of the plants I see, or plop down and watch, watch, and wait-and-watch, at some of those spots, just to see what comes, what goes, or what dawdles and moves about. There's just so much different kinds of wonderful stuff to see and enjoy all around me - out of doors!  I will most likely make a foray to get stuff for wintertime eye and ear protection. But it's good to know I have indoor walking spots for backup if I choose to use them. But, ugh, I really don't like being in a lot of those spaces, and, these days, I definitely would wear a mask in that event (which would be yucky and sweaty in a walking exercise)... another reason I enjoy walking outside, where I don't need to wear a mask! Speaking of, I hope the trip to the CPAP place to get it fixed won't be too bad. I remember you saying how much you don't want to go there. I wish you had someone who could take care of that for you! Send Piper! with your mask and a note!  ;) :D  Wish you could! (((HUGS)))

Phyl, I forgot to say earlier, those are great Monster Burgers! ;D


Take care, All. Sleep well.

Lani - Bradley working and watching Sydney.  Kelly went back to work on Monday, and she is off on Wednesday's.  Bradley will start his paternity leave on this coming Tuesday (4 weeks), and then he also has 4 weeks of paid time off that he needs to use by the end of the year.  So, he will be off for the next two months to heal up and watch Sydney.

E4E - I was surprised too at how quick I got the results back.   

baz - Bradley got an appointment with an Orthopedic doctor on Nov. 1.

kb - Jeff has one of those hats, same color as your pic.

tsk - Yes, could have been worse for Bradley. 

Phyl - Those monster burgers and Oreo bats are cool and fun looking.  Thanks for the prayers for Bradley.

I've been following the timeline sagas of getting mamo results.  I didn't think there was still the same lag out there.  Mine last month, appointment at 4:25, received call 7:30 the next morning.  Double-checked online result and got same clear.  Think it was 2 or 3 days after when PCP's nurse did get back to me also. Technology is doing us a big favor.  Just remember to do it - more than worth the two 10-seconds of squash.   :P

Today is....

National Black Cat Day
A perfect companion for those who appreciate a little bit of edge in their lives, these feline friends are sleek and stylish, with a touch of mystery.

(https://www.daysoftheyear.com/cdn-cgi/image/dpr=1%2Cf=auto%2Cfit=cover%2Cheight=465%2Cq=70%2Csharpen=1%2Cwidth=1000/wp-content/uploads/black-cat-day-1-scaled.jpg)

Because of superstitious beliefs in some cultures, black cats are sometimes associated with bad luck and, sadly, are more likely to be put to sleep or wait a long time to be adopted from shelters. National Black Cat Day was launched to show people that a black cat could be the perfect cat for them, and help raise awareness about black cats in general.

If you’ve been looking for a rescue cat yourself, why not consider a black cat? Not only are the superstitions about them bringing bad luck completely untrue, but you might find a black cat to be a fantastic feline companion for you! On National Black Cat Day, a fun way to celebrate, if you own a black cat, is to take photos with your pet to share and spread awareness about the day on social media. Children can join in by drawing pictures of black cats.

Phyl, snow reminder in the 365! It's coming...  ;D  46 here now, high today 47. High yesterday was 71.  :o Black cats are beautiful!

Puff, my big squeeze coming up next month, yes, well worth the squish!

Lisa, it's nice that workplaces are allowing more time for new Mom & Dads to be at home. Sydney took her time off and then Erin became the primary caregiver and got 12 paid weeks off to care for Bella. Gives the Dads some good bonding time with the new baby. Fingers crossed for good news on Bradley's injury. Harley goes down the stairs in front of Ed, crisscrossing on every other step. Ed says he is trying to trip him! I think he is just trying to make sure he is coming down... Just saw the pictures of Bandit and Misty on FB, hope you don't mind!

baz, your walks sound wonderful! Is the alligator the same one you have talked about before? You have a lot of wildlife and nature around you!

karen, I wish my garage was the only place full of excess stuff! I have another load ready to go to Goodwill. Chipping away at it, at least I have him bringing in less now.  ::)

tsk, people say Cathy and I look alike, and we both look like Mom. We always told Becky she looked like the milkman! I guess she looks like Dad! Now that you mention it, no one even thought of taking pictures of the three of us with Mom! And it seems like I was the only one taking pictures at all, except the last evening when Celia and the boys were there. Mom is staying at Cathy's until 11/4, so she will be there for her 89th birthday on 11/1.

For clarification:

Eagles4: it's the bulb like pictured above..an appliance bulb. And, the silver part is melted to the fixture up inside the hood. Chris tried for a very long time, using a needle nose pliar, to bend/ pull the silver part out and it won't come out without potentially wrecking the whole fixture that it attaches to..Just tiny pieces of metal were pulled off. It's a no go.

BTW needle nose pliars have rubber handles....just turned the light switch off and we were good to go.

will need a new hood entirely eventually...

Eagles, Mike had two zoom meeting yesterday. His office door was closed most of the day, but at least he's home. I went about doing more firewising outside. I was helping the neighbors with their firewise debri. They'll be gone this weekend, so big rush to get the job done before Sunday night deadline. I have a zoom meeting this morning and then I will change the batteries in the outside LED landscape lights. I have 20 to reset. So I'll be as busy as the witch in my morning post! You have a good Friday!  ;D :-*

Lisa, It's wonderful Bradley will have the next two months at home. Perfect for healing, the holidays and taking care of Miss Sydney!  I agree with Tsk about changing diapers and such. Even holding baby with one arm and trying to do something else with the other. Lots of good wishes and prayers sent to the new family!

Hi Puff, Tsk, Kb:)

Phyl, I miss our black cat Samantha. She ruled the crew! Orange cup is a cute idea.

Clynn, great morning pics and Lisa's photos of Bandit and Misty. Typical black cat with suspicious eyes.  ;D ... I knew you and Cathy were sisters, and you both do resemble your mom more.... Shannon always told Aly the milkman was her father, because of his blue eyes. That's nice your mom is staying at Cathy's for a little while longer... I wish the owls would stay away from SWFL nest!

SWFL Eagles ~ Great Horned Owls Visit Nest For 2nd Time In A Night! Territorial Hooting! ♫ 10.25.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMQe9G8zUy4

Oct 26, 2023 #baldeagles #southwestfloridaeaglecam #eagles
This is the second visit by the pair of Great Horned Owls to the nest and nest tree in the same day. If you recall, they flew in in the early morning hours of Oct 25th and the male brought prey for the female but she was not around so he flew off with it. After the sun went down, the owls returned around 7:51 pm - the male landing first on nest edge engaging in territorial hooting. The female owl flies in to the outer branch three minutes later and they both engage in a hooting duet ♫. The male now enters the nest and looks around hooting. He will then fly up to the attic branch where both owls are seen from cam 1 and the 360. The male flies off first and the female will follow.

This is the beginning of the season and the owls are scouting for a nest  & engaging in courtship behaviors. As you may remember, the owls have utilized Harriet and M15's alternate nest (N2) in the west pasture for the past three seasons. Last year they successfully raised three owlets to fledging. Owls in Florida tend to lay eggs in December /early January. Harriet would lay her eggs in mid November each season - we don't know when F23 may lay her eggs. While the owls are coming to the nest at night and trying to lay claim on it  - the eagles are busy nest building during the day and as egg laying s closer, they will begin roosting in the nest tree at night.

SWFL Eagles ~ Great Horned Owl Brings Prey! 😲 Both Owls In Nest Tree Hooting! Owl To Nest 10.25.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNmGNVbarzY

Oct 25, 2023  #baldeagles #southwestfloridaeaglecam #eagles
Early in the morning, the male GHO flies in to the attic and the female flies in shortly thereafter to the outer branch. Dual hooting is heard from them as the female flies to the attic arch. They continue their duet as the female flies to the veranda and then drops to the nest. She does not stay long and heads to the edge of the nest as they both continue their hooting. She flies to the attic and then will fly up to the upper branches. The male flies to the U branch and then will take off.

Later,  the male owl returns with prey in his beak & lands on the veranda. He is calling for his mate and then flies to the attic and continues to call for her, He will transfer the prey (which looks like half of a rabbit) to his talons and continues to call for the female. He transfers the prey a couple more times before flying off with it. The female did not show up to claim the food gift - it appears that he ate the first half of the prey. He probably went off to try and find his mate to deliver the food.

This is the beginning of the season and the owls are engaging in courtship behaviors and looking for a nest. As you may remember, the owls have utilized Harriet and M15's alternate nest (N2) in the west pasture for the past three seasons. Last year they successfully raised three owlets to fledging. Owls in Florida tend to lay eggs in December /early January. Harriet would lay her eggs in mid November each season - we don't know when F23 may lay her eggs. The eagles are busy nest building during the day and as egg laying gets closer, they will begin roosting in the nest tree at night.

For clarification:

Eagles4: it's the bulb like pictured above..an appliance bulb. And, the silver part is melted to the fixture up inside the hood. Chris tried for a very long time, using a needle nose pliar, to bend/ pull the silver part out and it won't come out without potentially wrecking the whole fixture that it attaches to..Just tiny pieces of metal were pulled off. It's a no go.

BTW needle nose pliars have rubber handles....just turned the light switch off and we were good to go.

will need a new hood entirely eventually...

some bounce
I went to the pool 4 times this week, and have done well with my "diet". My knees feel better, so I may have lost a pound or two. Perhaps I'll have the courage to get on the scale in a few weeks. !!

Thanx for hugs re: Rosie. When I hear news, I'll share.

Going to be "nesting" this weekend, as we are experiencing a 6 day cold spell.

Clynn, Phl, Lani I think you all have been introduced to /have met my Puff through my numerous tales - maybe not Lani?

Affectionately called Puff the Beast -  To me Puff my Love.
No pic just usual features - All black, gold eyes

My funniest tale:  Puff would slink up and hang over my shoulder for hours, purring and eventually drooling down my back.  I'd have my elbow bent under just to aid the hanging, didn't want Puff to fall.

And then one day I really got worried because I felt bumps on the butt.  Oh, no!
Found out a bit later that Puff was not a She  -  bumps were testicles, Puff was He!

He ended up having a fan club.  He would know when there was someone at the drive or door and meet and greet them.  People came to see him; first thing out of most visitors mouths was "Hi Puff".

My first Halloween contribution....so darn cute...play the music with it!

Had to wear my long winter jacket and smart wool socks with Ollie man on our walk this morning..just around 36 degrees...Of course he thought putting his jacket on was just a game....nope..eventualy, whew, I got it on him...

Have lots of leaves to bag/mulch in this continued cold weather....sometimes my mower doesn't start below 45 degrees....we shall see.

Cute story, Puff!

CLYNN  That cold front is headed this way for overnight - 68 here now.  Thanks for posting Bandit and Misty  ;D  That sure has been a wonderful break for Mom.

KB  Cute Arctic fox but I know that fish was set up for him otherwise where was the hook??  Was happy to see that  :D
That cutie baby and dog - saw it on FB yesterday.  How clever and sweet.

LANI    LOLOL  Love your freeway witch.   Now that 's the way to beat the traffic  ;) ;)   Do you just change batteries in those lights whether they need it or not - just the same time every year?    Gosh owls at the SWFL nest again.  Wonder who will win out?

TIG  Nice week of exercise.  ;D   "curling ducks"  ::) ::)

Phyl - Thanks for posting about National Black Cat Day. Aww, Samantha!  The Jack-O'-Lantern fruit cups...too cute!

tsk & Lani - I asked him this morning how was he feeling, and was he managing ok, and he said, Fine and Yes.  ::)  He sent me a pic of the hand...I do not know how he is changing diapers, but I guess he is managing. 

clynn - Yea, it is nice that workplaces are being more relaxed about the work from home.  Oh yikes, Harley trying to trip Ed on the stairs!  Of course, I do not mind you posting M&B.  :)  WOW, that Iowa tenderloin.  Love the Broom hair, don't care!

kb - Yay, on the light bulb change! Beautiful fox.

E4E - Thank you  :)

Lani - Thanks for the SWFL update. 

tig - Good job with diet and pool!

If all goes planned, this lil cutie will be coming to my house on Sunday!

HAPPY (FRI)DAY, BEAKERS!  ;) :D


I'm kinda in a dash... but I got a chance to do a quick read of all the posts...

Lisa, so glad Bradley got his ortho appt for fairly soon. Hate he had that accident, but wow on the timing re. work and leave and such. That's a big help, for sure!  Aww, what a great picture of a wonderfully happy Sydney - melts the heart!  :-* :-* :-*  Woot! Bring on Sunday!!  :D

Clynn, no, the really big alligator I mentioned yesterday is a different gator at a different pond, across a busy street, pretty far from my home. Swampy the Gator still lives in the retention pond beside my place, though. It's a rare pond around here that doesn't have a regular gator... but they do move around. Those GHOs don't give a hoot about M15 and his new "girl."  ::)  I hope The Mighty M will "take care of business," and make sure he keeps his nest for his own this season!

Tig, good on ya!!  Curling ducks!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  ((Rosie))

Puff, discovering your Puff was a boy. Surprise!  ;D ;D ;D



I almost didn't walk today, but after I got back from errands and putting things away, I hit the other side of the door before I sat down and changed my mind. LOL.  My knee requested a shorter walk today,  ::) :-\  so I only walked 30 minutes. Zackly.  Shorter than my other recent walks, but still in my 30-minute "goal," and at least I didn't talk myself out of going. ;)   I was treated to a One-Bluebird-Escort, flitting from tree to tree, till she reached her territory limit, I guess, and doubled back. I saw one Monarch flutterby.

My imagined musical accompaniment on my walk today:
The Ballad of Busted Knee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-VAxGJdJeQ   ;D 8)


It's approaching Happy Hour here, and I'm gonna enjoy a snack and a glash of Pinot Grigio.  ;)

Enjoy your weekend, Beakers! Do it up right.  :D

I don't know why?...I did not change or fix the light bulb situation.

It's melted so can't fix.

I have to buy a whole new hood with lights/fan next year when I can afford it.

tsk, I guess the high of 42 for today was at 5:00 AM, it's 39 right now and windy...brrr!! The plants will give it up tonight for sure. I have already cut a lot of the hostas down.

kb, what a cute Halloween baby and dog! The baby laughed like he enjoyed being inside the pumpkin! And what a good dog!

Puff, I can tell that Puff was your soul cat... you still miss him, it shows...  Bogey was mine, he's been gone since 2000, also before cell phones so I will have to find an actual picture and then take a picture of it. He would lay in my arms, like a baby. I think we all have that one pet that can still bring tears...

Lani, I sure hope the owls at SWFL find somewhere else to go, they are mean! Isn't that funny, Becky and Aly look like the milkman! Are you enjoying your extra time with Mike? Of course you are!  ;D ;D  That freeway witch is something else!

baz, so have you seen Swampy lately? You are the only person I know who has an alligator neighbor! Oh my, I was only 12 when that Beatles song came out! So did your knee twist and shout?  ;D  Enjoy your glash of wine...  :o

Lisa, probably not too hard to change the baby, imagine how it would be with a real diaper and those big diaper pins! What a sweet picture, she has that little mischievous look! I remember that I got a onesie for Bella when she was little, it said 'Daddy fixed my hair today'. Oh goodie, you get to babysit!!!

clynn - I am so glad that I did not have to use cloth diapers and diaper pins, cause I know there would have been lots of sticks involved, not only in Bradley, but in me too.  ;D  No not babysitting, just all coming here on Sunday for a visit and a late lunch/early dinner.  I think we will get some Chinese takeout.

LISA   Sydney will have a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's   ;D ;D ;D.    She will trick or treat  ;) ;)   Back when I was a baby, a shower gift was a 3 month  diaper service for those cloth diapers.  8 years separated my youngest bro and I so I was mama's helper and remember rinsing the cloth diapers in the toilet - ( those with poop) before putting in the covered. pan by the toilet.  Now the landfills are just getting bigger and bigger...LOL

BAZI   I always feel so much better when I don't talk myself out of a walk .    Wish I had a bluebird escort however... ;)   " Ballad of Busted Knee"  funny.

CLYNN   " Memories sneak out of my eyes"  I love that. :-*

CLynn  :o that Iowa  tenderloin sand; nice for your mom's 89th she will be w/Cathy .
Owls at SWFL  :(     Bullwinkle has a girlfriend   ;D

KB we use those appliance bulbs too; rubber handled tools are the only way to work, Awww pretty and pristine Artic Fox.

E4E thank you for  you lovely comments on My Samantha. She was a purebred Persian in classic black with much desired copper-colored eyes.
And, built  like a little Mac truck too.

Tig yes! please keep us posted on {{Rosie}}
 
Puff oh goodness ----I need a thread and needle to stich my sides up!!! Laughing too much.   ;)

Lisa y/w, Samantha or Sam (she was named after Samantha Stephens of 'Bewtiched' Darrin called her 'Sam').   Extraordinarily special that cat--- she
bestowed the 'gift' of amazing good fortune in my life. As I'll always say...she was my furry 'good luck' charm .  She'd watch me ready for work and loved to watch me
put make up on---when finished she'd mew and paw the hand holding the blusher brush. So I 'd offer it and she'd present each furry cheek. What a companion.

Oh  Lisa! that wonderful photo of Sydney ---that crooked smile and come hither look.   :-*  Luv the 'cat ear' head band

Tsk " Ballad of Busted Knee"   ;D


Bazi  I think you have an 'ear worm'  aka 'brain worm'     ;)

Good Evening! 
Well, the Maine shooter has been found dead!  Apparent suicide!  The residents of Acapulco are without power, food and water following a category 5  hurricane, two days ago.   No help has arrived.  Damage is evidently extensive as this was a very strong cat 5.
On a brighter note, Campers photos are superb!  Thanks for sharing!
Got a kick out of Black cat .Friday!  Beautiful babies.  Speaking of which, Sydney is sure a charmer!
Thanks for sharing the news of the owls at swfl!   They need to build their own nest!  Believe they are responsible for Harriet!  Talons crossed!  Mighty M!  Lol
Cpap  may be fixed!   Tonight will be the test!
Love the memories are tears!  Also the Iowa pork tenderloin sandwich!  Yum! Off to test my machine and mask!  Seds all!  Oh, Lisa, sorry about Bradleys hand!

Kb, Oh what a wonderful Halloween video of baby and pup! I love the pup resting her head on baby's leg and watching dad. Cute bow on pup's head too! What a great Halloween photo! I watched it several times!  ;D

Tig, cute ducks. Great game tonight. And Camper's pics are super!

Tsk, it's been two years since I changed the batteries... 4 of them started to go dim, I ordered the batteries, then I change them all at the same time. I worry the owls have taken over SWFL territory.... I was my mom's helper too. Did the same thing with the diapers as you did. Even washed them in the wringer washing machine.

Lisa, what an adorable photo, Sydney's giving her dad a sly sassy look, like she knows something he doesn't. Love the headband  ;D ... glad the kids are coming over for a visit on Sunday! I'm happy for you and Jeff.  ;D

SED Karen, I hope the cpap works! I agree about the owls and Harriet.  :'(

Baz, A nice walk with your Bluebird .... The Ballad of Busted Knee takes me back to Feb 1964, I was in 7th grade...  We were living in an apartment building in Waikiki two blocks from International Market Place. Mom and I were watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. One of those events you remember..... I hope you had a Fridaylicious evening!  8)

Clynn, that's a sweet sentiment for Puff and Bogey... Weezel was my soul cat. Yes, it's nice having Mike home, even if he's sitting in his office. It's good having him home. Love your Memory post.... Great Bullwinkle and girl pic.

Good night!

“Suzi hiding in plain sight”. Suzi loves this game. When I hold the sock open, she comes running to put her head in

Funny cat!

Morning all....

Thief River Falls, MN....first snowfall of the season..NW Minnesota....

I hate to see/use the S word this early in the season, ie. before even Halloween, but here we are!

going to try to start the mower in back yard today...it's not yet above 32 degrees!...very cold for this time of year but light snow is predicted down the road and I have massive leaves under my silver maple.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

37 degrees heading to 50  :o

PHYL  Like the black cat from last night  :)    Brrr  365

TIG  I've always wanted to go to Crex Meadows.  Everyone of those shots are calendar worthy.  Just beautiful. My favs are 1st and 3rd  ;) ;)

KAREN   Did not hear about the Maine shooter.  Hope you conquered the CPAP

LANI   I have vague memories of a wringer as well.  ;)   Boy, who didn't watch the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.  What an event that was!

KB    LOLOL  Cat with the sweater - Kind of a Maru thing   ;D ;D  We have freezing night temps ahead - there go the annuals.

Many early risers this morning - me up about an hour later.  But I did find several posts waiting for comments.  Many good and cute   ;D

Lisa Sydney with Gma and Gpa is your early treat for trick-or-treat day.  How sweet is that.

Phyl You must be a wizard to know--tears were flowing as I did Puff story ( and starting again as I think of my guy).

tig Pics are winners again.  Beautiful catches by Camper.

Lori  Baby/Doggy/Pumpkins -- precious, and both so patient and cooperative.   SMILE

But I do think you were you were watching the playoff game?
Chicago got our own treat last night for a change of pace.  Two great games, especially the endings.  Last night Bulls in double OT  104/103, and Blackhawks 4/3 over LV who had no losses up til last night  :P   And still was able to see the ending of the Rangers' win.

Phyl  Cute kitty waiting to volunteer tongue for stamp.  Old school, no licking needed.  :o

Peek-a-boo found you!

So true, cats just sit quietly and absorb.  They could be rich if they were into extortion.

kb  Suzi a sweetie.  They do keep us entertained/amused/smiling.

Update on the trees:  locust, naked; ash trees, still green; crimson, still virtually full (maybe a few off of the top) but enough down to hide 3 driveways.

And can I share another Puff antic. . .
A real cuddler.  To watch recroom TV I liked to be warm and cozy in my snug sack.  Who remembers? flannel, body length, zipper or buttons all the way up, even extra material to shut noise with a hood.
Puff would be lickey split on the scene kneading the dough.  Then he'd go down to the inside by my feet.  I could feel the purring and the rising temp.  He'd stay down there forever.  Finally, he'd come out looking like he just finished a trip to the spa, all raggety and sweaty.  But he still would go over to the rocker lounge and take a nap!

Lots  of reading material you all left for me this a.m.  My tea will have to be nuked, it's cold.

Puff, seems several Beakers know the feeling, when we remember the cat or dog we had that special bond with...  I remember the Snug Sack of the 70s! Prequel to the Snuggie!
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.mnQJ8cX_JeE_xh5a1XuozwHaH9?w=182&h=200&c=7&r=0&o=5&pid=1.7)  (https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.695fc428849add59e3f8da6dcbc13818?rik=NDzjFEjMfO9pwA&riu=http%3a%2f%2fallstarmg.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2013%2f11%2fsnuggie-box.png&ehk=Ts6jI0M6zMVii1PjVpLiVrb72XwN6fx0xlXIrYpDMtU%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0)

tsk, 30 here, headed for 37!  Brrrr... Repeat tomorrow! Yes, the annuals surely bit the dust last night. I pulled the coleus up close to the house, on the covered deck. They look like they will last a bit longer. I hate pulling up the frozen impatiens, they are squishy!

kb, I bet that cat thinks no one can see him... I remember going to Thief River Falls when we lived in MN, I also remember it snowing in September in Duluth! Here you are:

Phyl, sweet little House Cat poem! Brrr on the 365, winter is coming quickly!

Lani, I remember being fascinated with the wringer washer my Grandmother used, she would let us feed the clothes through the wringer. She always warned us not to get our fingers too close or they would be flattened! A comfortable feeling, Mike is in the house even though he is working. Somehow I knew Weasel was your soul cat, just by the way you have spoken of him...

karen, hope you got a good night's sleep!

tig, beautiful photos of the Sandhills at Crex Meadows! We had a Beaker long ago, Iceline, who took pictures of the Sandhills at Crex. This was my favorite:

Good morning and Happy Caturday Beakers!

Lani - You are so nice to help your neighbors with their firewising while taking care of your own!  Good to take care of the LED landscape lights with new batteries. ;)   You & Mike have a nice rest of the weekend. :)

Tig - Good for the pool days you had this week  :)   Yes, please let us know when you hear something about Rosie.  Thoughts & prayers for all of you.   Great pics of the Sandhill Cranes by Camper - please thank him too! :)

Puff - Your Puff was surely a special kitty! ;D

LisaG - Hope your little Sydney makes it over to your house on Sunday  :) :)   Seems like Bradley is still able to carry on with his duties - he is such a loving Dad! ;D

Clynn - You are correct in saying we all have a special pet(s) we miss - so true.  Hugs for you in how you miss your Bogey. :-*

Kb - Your cool temps are here already!

Tsk - Those diaper memories - I know my Mom did that with our cloth diapers!

Phyl - I love that your Samantha was named after Samantha Stephens (Bewitched)! :)  Beautiful Persian!!   Like your 'Caturday' kitty this morning!  Got chilled watching the swirling snow in 365  :)   Liked the House Cat  ;D

Clynn - Cute Caturday gifs!  Like the miniature I Love Lucy set! ;D

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Happy Caturday!  ;)

77 degrees now going to 83!  My sun patients are still going strong and I wish I had a few impatients.  Did not Plant any!   I worked with a man in DC who had planted some on the shady side of his house. He did not do anything with the bed and they came back every year, thicker than ever!  I was amazed but he swore they reseeded!  Wonderful bed!

Lani nice of you to help the neighbors!  Hope there are no fires!   We do not have rain in the forecast for at least 10 days so the sprinkler system is running!  Say hello toMike.

I watched my mother use the wringer washing machine!  Very dangerous things!   I remember amputations from fingers, arms, hands being caught in them!  Our machine also had a water saver feature. Where by tge least dirty load was washed first and the wash water was saved in a laundry tub.   It was returned to the machine for the second load.  I suppose you could do this indefinitely!   Not only were fancy labor saving things not available but money was tight, back in the day!  Folks today are very spoiled!

Lisa, you are smart to order out so you can spend more time with Sydney!  No need to kabor oner a hot stove!

Where is OG!
Baz, nice walking venue!  Love the bluebird walking partner.

Hopefully the cpap saga is over!  The fit of the mask is tight but the air flow seems better.  Will know for sure when I see the pulmonologist in December.

Enjoy the day >:(

Clynn - love the guy in the pic mowing grass with snow on it...

I ended up doing some the old fashioned way!...an hour plus of plain ol raking into 3 garbage cans overflowing...Much more to come down off that tree...but for now it's mostly up.

don't actually think my mower would have started...so cold I had to put on my winter mittens and full winter attire.

Oldguy, I hope the cards are lucky tonight!  ;D

Karen, It was my responsibility at age 7 to wash my brother's diapers. My arm got caught in the wringer past the elbow. I was babysitting my brother and mom was gone visiting friends. It was late when she returned home and found me in the bathroom with my arm in the wringer. I had to be in a splint for awhile. She was not happy with me. But, I was careful and never did it again.... It's been almost a month since it rained. We see nothing but sun for the next 10 days. We're running our dripping system too. The Juniper and oak trees leaves are weeping, they need moisture.... Talons crossed for your cpap mask.

Lisa, love your sweet Caturday pic... oh Miss Sydney will love your Halloween treats!  :-*

Lori, sweet post of Zeus.  :-* ... love your Halloween Caturday posts.

{{{warm hugs Tig}}} 2 snuggles, you must have been cold!

Hi Eagles, have a good weekend  ;D

Clynn, Great Caturday pics... I had forgotten about the Snuggle. I remember both girls received one for Christmas.... Thanks for reminding us about Iceline and Sandhills Crex Meadows. Looking at Camper's pics, I kept wondering where did I read about Crex Meadows.... I knew I should have remembered. I imagine he still goes there. What a fantastic photos he shared with us.... Love the mowing guy... I remember you would post a pic of a woman working in her garden in the snow for Lindawyo. Because she did the same living in Wyoming.  ;D ...  I Love Lucy  :-*

Tsk, our freeze starts tomorrow, highs in mid-60s.

{{{Puff}}} love this morning's Puff story, such a special boy.

Kb, cute cat

Have Andrew here: cleaned gutters, wrapping chicken wire around things that need rabbit protection, and hopefully move the boulder to the end of my property and finish adding tin to shed.
We shall see: Snow heading in. so far the necessary stuff: gutters and fencing are almost done.

Happy Day (and Caturday), Beakers! :D

Lani, love that pic of you and Weezel!! So happy and sweet!  :-*  I remember other pics you've posted in the Beak before, but not one when your hair was short like that.

Oldguy, I hope you're feeling okay, and enjoy some Saturday evening cards and good eats!  :)

Karen, I hope you get good CPAP results! Sounds like it's fixed, so I hope it made for comfortable sleeping last night.  My mother's Impatiens re-seeded every year, too, but she planted hybrids, and of course the seeds reverted back to the original, non-hybrid version, so she would pull them and re-plant from scratch every Spring.

Clynn, yes, I've been spying on Swampy the Gator most every day - saw him yesterday, but missed him today... so far.  Yes, my knee did "twist and shout" from the walking.  ::)  ;)  It tried to get me in a conference before I went out for my walk today... but I declined that call, and took a great walk today - 1 hour and 40 minutes!!!  I might be getting a "wake-up call" from my knee tomorrow morning!!  It has been just gorgeous here - that arctic chill won't arrive here till Tuesday night. Today I walked a path through some woods, down to a kayak launch, that I found a sign for on a walk earlier this week, that I didn't know was there and didn't have time to investigate then - it feeds right into a very cool Cypress swamp, which leads to an intracoastal waterway. I was on high alert for gators there!  Perfect spot for them!! It was gorgeous down in that spot - some very tall Cypress... many dead or dying, and some of the usual Cypress Knees, too. Lovely day... part of my walk included a nice street with loads of trees, including some very large trees that made a closed canopy overhead, all the way across to the large trees on the other side of the street. I always love that! I also passed a long drive to a house I had never walked past before, that had a low sign right where their driveway meets the street that read, "Protected by a wolf." LOL!    I saw some very fun Halloween yard decorations.  I also saw a gravestone for Ann Thrax  ;D and another that read, "Rest in Pieces."  ;D ;D  I made a lot of new, hidden discoveries on my walk today!!  I will go back to investigate some of them further.  The gaggle of Canada Geese I passed were so laid back that they didn't flutter a feather when I walked right by them, though the Big Guy in Charge kept his eyes on me the whole time.  ;)

TSK, I agree with you!  it's always better when I don't talk myself out of my walk.  I only saw one Monarch  today - it fluttered straight across my walking path, about a foot in front of me. So pretty! I always think of you when I see a Monarch.  :-*



I'm starving - I haven't eaten since breakfast... Heading to the kitchen to pour a snack.  ;)   ... and get something to eat...  ;D

Have a good evening, Beakers. Peace.

We are in the mid 20's this morning and for many morning's to come. Am happy to have gotten done outside what I have so far...We do need warmer days yet to mow and run the gas out of them before snow/frozen ground...
Andrew returns today to finish back yard fencing..and some other things. It's really too cold for him to spend more than an hour at a time.

This twitter video has been up for a few days, and like it says, I too am bewildered by the lack of media coverage of Otis' destruction to Acapulco./

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog! And the gorgeous 365, love the sun hitting the snow on the trees... Beggar's Night is tomorrow evening (always the night before 10/31), usually 6:00-8:00. The kids are supposed to tell a joke to get a treat, your jokes are the jokes they tell!  You are having beautiful weather!

Lani, love the picture of you and Weasel! While I was in Texas Ed and Erin were searching for Siamese kittens around here, they found some in Des Moines! Erin spoke with the guy, the kittens won't be ready until early December. I know we won't be able to get just one!  I just hope Harley will be okay with two little ones...

72 now and a high of 84!   Clynn, sorry about your beautiful coleus!  Excited about your Siamese kitties!  Harley can show them the ropes!  What fun you will have! Are you going to see them soon and pick them out?  Have names in mind?  What kind of siamese are they?  Blah, blah, blah!
Love the picture of Bella with her hair back so you can see her beautiful face!   They (you) did a great job on the pumpkins!
Baz, cold front coming in here about the same time as it hits your house.  Two days with highs in the low 60s and then the 70s.

Well y'all made me get up and check again - while my #2 tea brews.

Lisa  Lots of cavities in that cute bag, might be too heavy this year for Sydney to carry.  Did you include a toothbrush?

No Clynn No big shedding of the crimson yet.  And ground is solid green under the ash trees.

Saga of the outside. Yesterday plants brought in: 3 hybiscus, 2 swedish ivy (trying to save them, special variations, don't ask I forgot names, second winter save for one).  There's a hugh wandering dude that I'll have to prune down.  Small pots of oregano and purple curly basil, and a freebie plant I got with something else I bought, it's small so I should have room while I find its name.  Emptied the annuals, pots in garage til 2024.  Just for those wondering -- Inside my rec room is 20 x 15 with 4 windows, back laundry room is L-shaped with space for table and ironing corner maybe 15 x 15 with hanging hooks from ceiling, 3 windows.  Should be enough inside room???!!!   

Looking out the window for plant happenings I was overjoyed to see the fountain is back to being a fountain.  Spent to much time cleaning it out so it was a fountain again, playing in the wind and cold water yesterday.  Wasn't working when I finally gave in.  You should see all the birds bathing in it this morning.  I will have to find someone in spring to powerwash and set back up.  The birds also noticed the yard feeders I filled yesterday, and the stale Ritz crackers I threw on the patio.   

Room???  Sure, got 8 rooms and half of an unused garage space.  Ton wasn't able to help me directly - but that other half of the garage will be helpful (I will continue to work at eliminating that aforementioned "stuff" space/room.

At one of my appointment this past week md asked me if I had thought of moving/downsizing.  Heck No!  I'm not done yet.  I need my space, I need my stuff, I enjoy so much more than I regret. 

I need an aspirin! (oops but I can't)  Let me get back to my 2nd cup of cold tea.

Just finished a healthy  low calorie dinner!  Boiled shrump, no sauce . A baked potatoe wit just a tad of sour cream and grapes for desert!

Phyl, hope Jim is still having a good birthday!

Lisa, sweet pic of Miss Sydney and Pop! She looks like such a happy baby, love her outfit! My great grandparents on my Mom's side were always called Mom & Pop...to this day although they have been gone since 1974! The greats on Grandpa's side were Granny and Gramps. Don't you love picking out the little things for Sydney! I try to stock up at the end of a season, for the next year! That first picture of Bella I posted yesterday was right after they got here, and look at her hair! So I got the brush out!

karen, good for you and your healthy dinner! I haven't picked out any names yet. It's very hard, I would like to have names that go together, but don't know yet if M/F, M/M or F/F!

baz, that chicken is hilarious! Bella got some jewelry, she was so excited! I have always had Siamese until we got Harley and Honey at the Animal Rescue League. You kind of have to get Siamese when you can around here. And they are not cheap. When Ed got the 2 for me in 2000 they were $100 each. This guy was asking $600 each, we offered $1,000 for two and he said yes. I have been trying to think of names! Not sure yet males or females or one of each. We are going to go meet them this week!

tsk, I think Bella looks so much older these days, especially in that picture with the jewelry on!

Lani, I am excited about the kittens, I hope and pray that Harley at least tolerates them! Here is a picture of Max & Emma when they were kittens, the lighter one was Emma, the Chocolate Point, and Max, a Seal Point. The 2nd pic is all three of them, Beanie was a Blue Point, He went to the Rainbow Bridge in 2007, Max & Emma in 2015..

Puff, it will get to 40 tomorrow so I will put my coleus plants to rest in the compost. ::)Along with the Impatiens. We have a big maple tree in the back, the ground will be covered an inch deep by the time the leaves all fall. We also have a big oak tree in front side yard. The leaves are turning the deep red, but it usually takes it all winter to lose all it's leaves. The 2 pines shed tons of pine needles, I love the smell on that side of the yard. The Burning Bush is turning red and the crabapple has lost nearly half. Winter is coming quickly! Hope you can get the fountain working in the Spring!

RIP Matthew Perry  It wasn't wasted!


Tsk Awwww...ghost jokes are hokey and flat.  But ..  I liked them  :)  Here's to your annuals surviving.

So glad Tig you're warming up in temp

KB darling baby pygmy marmoset---amazing 'handy work' that goes into the tiniest of creations.

CLynn your poor coleus   :(  Won't they do inside the house? Great JackO' Lantern; "Beggar's Night' that's a new one .I've been reading  up... https://www.kcci.com/article/halloween-2023-trick-or-treating-times-dates-des-moines-central-iowa-beggars-night-costumes-candy/45574223 (https://www.kcci.com/article/halloween-2023-trick-or-treating-times-dates-des-moines-central-iowa-beggars-night-costumes-candy/45574223) For me, 'Trick or Treat'  on 31st in California ---my parents grew up in Kentucky (dad born and mom a native of Maine) and celebrated on 31st. Learn something every day. ;)
The Munchkins look great and Bella looks so 'grown-up' and fashionable in  some of Kay's beaded jewellry.
Ed was busy while you were at Cathy's... :o    Oh-O Harley!   Our vet told us, w/ Mike and Maggie  to introduce them gradually ...But I , got it all backwards and shut Mike up in the bath w/ food & litterbox, letting Maggie have the roam of the house. Then, I  had to back peddle and reverse course.  ::)

Sweet memories of Max and Emma


E4E  :)  : like that  coffee mug this  AM I didn't plant any annuals outdoors this year save for the coreopsis and African daisies . Decorated my front porch for Autumn in outdoor quality silk sunflowers  and artificial pumpkins . The only live greenery are the mini boxwoods in the wicker planter by the side of front door.

Lisa nice Autumn cuppa. Luv the treat bag for Sydney---speaking of---I showed Jim that photo of her you posted the other day , with  that 'wondering what I've been up to crooked smile and look. He loved it and agreed w/me.  Great photo of Jeff with Sydney . Hoping y'all have a wonderful visit tonight

Puff cold tea  :(


Lani  so glad you liked the ghost jokes.  ;)   cute little 'Pope' ...I grew up with Golden Eagles in my backyard there at Kaiser Steel Mine in Calif. It was exciting having them so close.

CLynn indeed it is. That Bald Eagle photo from Nat'l Geo  T and B did great on the pumpkin carving;  Names for the Siamese kittens?  "Koko' and 'Yum Yum' from the 'Cat Who..." books by Lillian Jackson Braun. I so enjoy her books Their 'owner'  a reporter, Jim Qwilleran (Qwill to his friends)  called their morning feeding "breakfoo'. To this day that's what I call my cats moring chow. 

Bazi  Llama joke, funny.   Chicken is a 'hoot'!    You posted Jim's fave cake in the entire world---Devils Food w/ fluffy white frosting. He thinks you're great.  ;)

Today marks his 40th birthday in Heaven. And, I will always celebrated him.


We give them back to thee, dear Lord, who gavest them to us;
Yet as thou dost not lose them in giving, so we have not lost them by their return.
Not as the world giveth, givest thou, O Lover of Souls.
What thou gavest, thou takest not away,
For what is thine is ours also if we are thine.
And Life is eternal and Love is immortal, and death is only an horizon, and an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we may see further;
Cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly;
Draw us closer to thyself so that we may know ourselves to be nearer to our loved ones who are with thee.
And while thou dost prepare a place for us, prepare us also for that happy place, that where thou art we may be also for evermore.

Prayer used by Fr Bede Jarrett, O.P.

Lisa, good news that Bradley has the diaper change under control! You are like me, I see an outfit for Bella that I can't resist! And then I get an outfit for Talon, just to keep it even. Not that I love him less, but the boys clothes are just not as cute!  ::) Especially for his age (9)!

Lani, hope you and Mike had a good and relaxing weekend! Yes, I am planning how to introduce the kittens to Harley, haven't decided yet! Can't wait to see the kittens!

karen, some good names! I will try those out with Kelsey, we try to pick names she can easily say. There are some that she can't!

Phyl, I have never had coleus plants inside, I have always thought of them as outside plants. Anyway, I don't have room anywhere with a window, and they were HUGE! They would need a room of their own! I have read all of the books with Coco and Yum Yum! Good idea! I had never heard of Beggar's Night until we moved to Iowa, I have always thought it was so the adults could party on the 31st!  Here are some jokes:  https://desmoinesmom.com/beggars-night/  The 365 of the Alps is gorgeous, everything in France is gorgeous!

GOOD MORNING

33 degrees  heading to 41

CLYNN   Always a price to pay with a breeder.  :o   The rescue where we got Lulu charged $100 which included everything - spay and chip.  Several other rescues we checked out charged $ 200 to $250.  It is exciting.  Maybe you can pick out the ones you want altho might know a bit more as they grow.  I would have chosen a Siamese had we seen any.  Nice temperaments?    Love that book art on the side of the bldg.   Wish they would do more of that in areas of the city that don't look very welcoming.

PHYL   Cannot imagine growing up with goldens in my backyard - a blessing!   Funny squirrel with the pumpkin head  LOL...Candy corn has never been in my candy dish  :o    The Alps are so beautiful 365

KAREN  Rough seasons for the Pack and Da Bears...

CLynn Your coleus --just thought since these outdoor beauties   were  potted any way -- might fare better indoors.  Awesome Autumn foliage in Vermont -maybe the pettiest in the country-
 Very impressive  painting on side on that brick building in -Netherlands -so realistic .     

Tsk candy corn  and all that sugar , yikes.  Not in my candy dish either. But, it looks festive though.  Pretty Autumn greeting

Good day to you and all the beakers.  I have lots of errands today.  Later. . .

Morning Puff, kb, karen, tig and all  :)

Phyl - Oops, thought the day before Halloween was Hallow's Eve, ya know kinda like Christmas Eve .  ::)  Thanks for the correction.  My favorite kind of candy corn in your pic, the Autumn Mix.  I think I will skip the "text your Ex day"  ;D

clynn - I agree, boys clothes are not as cute as girls clothes, not unless you want to dress them up preppy looking.  Bradley was never the preppy kinda dresser.  Love the book art. When, I introduced Bandit to Misty, I put him in his carried and let them smell each other and hiss a bit, and then when he stopped I let him out, but watched carefully he didn't attack her.  Are you getting two girl kittens, or a boy & girl?

Now 31 degrees   Pulled all the ageratum and dusty miller and a few snap dragons around my bird bath and begonias in my front porch planter - all still looking good!!  Dusty miller is the single heartiest annual I know.   Still have a fern hanging in the front  LOL

PUFF  As you can see, the temp has gone down some since I first reported.  Boy is it cold but that's OK...Like the change.

Karen - Tasty healthy dinner you had and football too  :)  Cute name suggestions  :)

Phyl - Glad Jim liked all his birthday wishes!   I bet your front porch area looks very nice  :)   Like your morning gif.  Your high temp today will be similar to our area.    Beautiful 365 - gorgeous Buck too!    Lovely remembrance for your Dad {{{Phyl}}}

Good Morning!  61 now and a foggy day in V town.   Going to 84.  Got up to 86 yesterday!  After a two day down into the 60s we wilk settle into highs in the 70s.  Pleasant!

i love the text tge ex day!  Lolol!  I read all the L.Braun books and have all of them, including the cookbook!  Found them very relaxing and fun for a days read! I was sorry when she passed.  Keep meaning to pack these up and take them to Goodwill.  Someone else can enjoy them!

Clynn, the right names will come to you when you see the kitties.   Two dogs on the rescue site are Laverne and Shirley!  Brown poodle puppies!  There is always Fluffy and Fuzzy Butt!

Glad the day went well with Kelly, Bradley, Pop, Nana and sweet Sydney!  Comfy outfit!

Off to the shower!  Stay warm all!

Good morning Beakers!
Hi 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 more info on that stretch of Vermont road, it's stunning.

Tig, Dinner sounds delicious! I hope all goes well with appt.

Karen, I love Lillian Braun too. I have her books on cds/audible and listen to them over and over. I'm sad she had her last book draft destroyed after her passing. I would have loved to know what happened to Jim Q, Koko and Yum Yum, after his favorite gal decided to live in Paris. But, if it had to end it's not a bad place to stop.

Hi Eagles, Oldguy,   :)

Tsk, I agree, art work on old buildings always bring an old downtown to life. I wait to cut back the perennials after the first frost. The zinnas/purple cones/lavender are still blooming and attracting migrating monarchs and small birds.

Clynn, you're so excited about your babies kittens. I bet Kelsey is over the moon! Looking forward to pics of your first nursery visit of the fur babies. It would be hard for me to pick just two. ;D ... it is hard to buy clothes for boys. For my nephew I went for his favorite sports t-shirts.... love your morning pics, especially the book art building!  ;D

Lisa, glad to read Bradley isn't having difficulty with his hand. Sydney's outfit she was wearing yesterday was darling and it was from her Nana. It's perfect. I can see Kelly liking it too.

Phyl, stunning nature video today! Happy heavenly birthday to your dad... I've never liked candy corn, and I've got a sweet tooth too. So, I've never had it in our fall candy dish. I wish I felt the same way about M&Ms, but alas, that's all I have in the dish.  ;D

Puff, it was 38 degrees here this morning. I have a little electric heater going in my office. Sadie's curled up on the armchair next to me and cats cuddling in their basket near my computer. Life is good for them  ;D... Keep warm  :-*

My vet came by today with Halloween treats for me and Piper!   I got Paper White bulbs and she got treats!
She spent the weekend in Saluda, NC and said they were there a few days before peak color.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


Phyl, glad Jim enjoyed all the birthday wishes from the Beak. I always loved that prayer you posted in memory of your father.  A very close version of it was read at my cousin's graveside memorial service this past August.  Text your exes?? You go right ahead!  ;) ;)   As for me... Not happening!!   :P   My 1st ex has been 6 feet under for 40 years now, and my 2nd ex lives in Texas, where all exes belong, of course!!  ;D 8)

Tell it, George!  ;D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuJroujjYDk

Lisa, what a great pic of Sydney with her Pop yesterday!  :-* :-*  Who looks happier??  ;) :D  What a fun time for her first visit to her Nana's home! Hugs!  :-* :-*

Clynn, I remember very well the sad days when your Emma and Max went to the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs.  :-*  It's going to be so fun to have a pair of new little kitties in the house! Harley may have other thoughts.  ;) :D  But I'm sure he will come around, especially since they are kittens.  :-*  I don't know if you have a preference, or even a choice, and every rule has an exception, but I've always heard that opposite gender kitties tend, in general, to get along better than 2 of the same gender. Of course that isn't always true - but I've heard it as a general guideline. I can't wait to hear, and see, the sweet little ones you bring home!! Kelsey is going to be in love with them, for sure, as will all the family, and the Munchkins, too.  :) :-* :-*  It will be fun picking out the names, and of course, sometimes the names pick themselves out after a day or two or a few of being around them and picking up on their personalities and looks.  :)

E4E, your temp and mine is similar right now. So nice for being outside, too, since it is not real humid here now. Yesterday, my official high was a much warmer than normal 85, a record for the date here, and today it is currently 82, maybe getting a little warmer. The cold front is moving from the Midwest Beakers' locales to the east now, and will get to me starting tomorrow night. Then on Wednesday, my high will only be about 54, and the low will be 36, so they say... much cooler than normal. Then it's supposed to normalize to the low 70s for the highs here, which is normal for me for now.

Karen, you're eating healthily! Loved your dinner yesterday! Oh, so nice of your good friend, vet, to visit you and Piper, with the exchange of Halloween treats, too!  :)

TSK, you have a lot of different kinds of plants in your garden!  :) It must be hard to put it to bed for the Winter. It's hard for me to think of them in a freeze today, since I am in unusually warm 80+ degree temps.

Tig, YUM!  If I had been near your restaurant table last night, I might've looked a bit like Ollie did yesterday when he was meal-side with KB.  ;) ;D

Puff, brrr!  ;D  That's not my grin, that's my teeth chattering!  ;) :D

Lani, it sure sounds cozy in your office! I would like to curl up with Sadie and the cats.  :)

BL, thanks for the VT lake and road ID!  :) What a striking photo of a beautiful place in full Fall color!! Thanks, Clynn!  :)

Oldguy, waving to you!  :)




I gotta run go get something to eat - I'm famished!  :D  I walked 36 minutes today - about half of that was right along the edge of large, open swamp, with tall grasses in shades of light browns, in calm wind with severe clear blue skies. Another beautiful day and walk.  Ahh...


Waving to All the Beakers, Take care, All!  :D

KAREN   I also read all of Lillian Braun!!  Paper Whites are beautiful.  I'll have to see if the stores have them now.

LISA  I always get hanging ferns as they aren't that expensive and last forever!

CLYNN   I've heard of fall cruises along the New England coast for the color.   Tail of the Dragon - Wow what a switchback!
Love sidewalk art  ;) ;)

LANI   Leaving your perennials uncut is the right thing to do!  Just this AM I brought up my little electric heater for our office.  Got to 65 in the house last night.  :o

OLDGUY  Good to see you...and congrats with all the wins.  You have sent a lot of links - Checked in on Penny  ;D and kittens at night but will leave rest for tomorrow  :D

Karen I forgot to post last night's dinnner: BBQ pulled smoked pork sandwiches, garden salad, choice of dressing, Jubilee olive mix, dill pickle flavored potato chips and a brew each. His fave pie is cherry and Redi Whipp on each slice. Very nice gesture from your Vet.      I've wondered the same about PinkEagles.  :(

Lisa most will skip 'Text your EX'  ;)   My #1 passed away in his 30's

E4E  {{{}}}"s   :-*  for you comment on my dad-- Halloween observance is a struggle for me--- truly timing is everything.    I meant to take a snap of the porch when I first finished putting it together  :(

CLynn a jaunt to see the new kittens---Oh Harley!---safe travels; have an entire Pinterest board of 'Street Art'  I never post  some of it's shocking

Tig hope all turns out well at the docs.

Lani luv those chocolate candy coated 'button'.  Have you found the 'Ghoul's Mix"?  I luv the color selection.  Think they've discontinued the Autumn Mix though.  What did your witch have to drink before driving--- ;D
 {{{}}}"s   :-*  comment on dad , so, so  much  I can say...

BaziThanks.  ;) And, yes that is a very comforting prayer

Oh Lori! out did yourself gal  ;)    Seeing your ticket for Jim reminded me...Maggie has actually flown in her crate seated next to me. Mike too. Jim was with Doane Pet Care, Inc as Chief Pilot /Department  Head. There was room on a business  jaunt to the plant in Joplin, MO  where they make Ol' Roy and Special Kitty .We transferred from there  ---so I got to take them to see their 'Kitty GrandMa'  aka my Mom.
He love's you post. He misses flying---not often one can do in life what they've dreamed.

Old Guy  good to see you, Congrats on the wins. Jim says many thanks for the cherry pie. And, that crust!  Loads of links to view.  Luv 'Pink Panther' theme,
Always enjoy Q Kids and Penny;  awww What Kittens do...; time for dinner, will finish later on. I know they'll be good


Tsk what cat fancier doesn't love Lillian Jackson Braun 'Cat Who...' books. Good luck with the Paper Whites


Hope y'all have a 'Good Night'...SEDs Everyone.

Karen, What a great gift given to you and Piper by your vet! You can get an early start with the Paper White bulbs for Christmas/January.  :)

Baz, Fun song for Text your Ex day! ;D  (https://www.animoticons.com/files/misc/summer-smiley-faces/37.gif)  I haven't heard that song in a long time. 

Lori, great birthday cake and posts for Jim ... birthday ticket is adorable... and the cake is to die for! YUM!

Oldguy  great to see you and the great links! ... glad to hear all is well, and cards have been great too!!
Delicious looking birthday pie for Jim.... Walter Santi video is a fun one with Vasik. She's a beautiful cat, and would do well in a home.... saving other videos for tomorrow. Thanks  ;D

GOOD HALLOWEEN MORNING TO YOU ALL

Wind chills in the 20s and snow likely for our trick or treaters.  Feel bad for them.  We shall see later. ( 3-7)  Had 55 kids last year.

OLDGUY   Catching up on all the links from yesterday.  Funny Santi - Like cat TV  ;D

PHYL  My kind of b-day dinner.  Am sure Jim was grateful  ;) ;)   Your cats were seasoned fliers as well  :o

Remembering the day of Willi's passing.

tsk, 27 right now, high 37 today! Then warming up a bit, 63 on Friday! Kelsey wanted to hand out the candy last night, she stood in front of the door for almost the whole two hours, we had about 10 Trick or Treaters!  Yes, I remember willi's passing too, four years ago I was driving home from Mom's when I got the text from Jerry. I had to pull over and cry...

oldguy, good to see you...I bet you have been very busy trying to shuffle the Halloween stuff around so you can get all the Christmas stuff in! Lots of links to check out, will start after I finish posting! Cheers on the card wins!  I hope these Siamese kittens won't be as onery as the ones in Lady and the Tramp!!

karen, I am sure you saw the picture on FB of sweet little Sydney when she was not very happy! She is such a cutie! So nice of the vet to bring you and Piper Halloween gifts!

baz, I am hoping to get a male and a female kitten, we shall see! I agree, they do seem to get along better than 2 of the same. I keep talking to Harley, asking him to be nice!

Lunch, movie. I'm making Weiner Mummies for supper and then an orange jack o lantern with fruit and an apple mummy.
We don't get but a few local kids so we gave up a few years ago. We did trunk or treat at church a few times but they stopped doing it.

Have a fun day.

I just want to cry!..Early in the dark, Mr. Ollie man wanted to go outside and my front step (westerly winds) completely iced over...of course then he decided to catch his lead on my yew...you shoulda seen me try and step out and get him unhooked.
My road in front of my house is still completely iced over...I've already shoveled my driveway and paths on the decks for Ollie...with yaktrax on this time.
Looks to me like over 2 inches with the gosh darn ice under it or mixed in . they only predicted up to an inch. Wind was/is too strong to say for sure but my deck rails had over 2 inches.

You tig?....how much that is.

TIG  About 8:30 we had some wonderful lake effect snow but never stuck and sun is in and out now.

I buy Safe Paws ice melt instead. I just ordered it on Amazon...had it in the back of my mind to buy some but it's very early in the season for this so I'm sure a lot of people got caught off guard. It's over 30 bucks for a container and I end up buying 2-3 per season and I ran out of it last year.

I even throw it inside my season porch with indoor/outdoor carpet in it when ice lands on it.

The product you listed might be good for snow shovels etc...I think mine is better for driveways..I can't use it on my cedar decks though..I have expensive composite deck boards in front that is covered by a roof and usually therefore safe....last night's winds were ferocious and came from the west which my house faces.

Remembering  and missing Willie today.

Tsk very festive charm bracelet this AM; chilly temps on the cusp of the second 'Brrr' month

CLynn Talon and Bella made good choices for their costumes, Bella looks the perfect 'Wednesday'; I remember Ivy in her Chinese costume, so cute. Thanks.
Baby bats-too cute.

E4E have fun passing out the 'goodies'; HOA here put the 'kabash' so-to-speak  on trick/treating ---that's no fun-.  Seeing the kids was the best part.

Oldguy luved Tuxedo Cat Andrew's story, POV Cat's scariest moments  ;D---loved  Walter Santi's new cat

Tig  "BOOunce'  ;D

Lisa  :)   I've check ,  from  before the begining of the month , Walmart, Kroger and Publix for Autumn Mix and Ghoul's Mix  and then online--- :(

Lori 'Spider cookies' w/ Reese's'.  Nice Halloween greetings  ;)

KB/Tig  y'all have some wintry weather today-Yikes! Hidden ice and all  :o

It's homemade chili for dinner tonight, tortilla chips, iceberg lettuce salad garnished with chopped tomatoes and avocado ranch dressing, leftover cake.
Getting very 'Brrr-ish' here so time for hot cocoa---with Redi Whipp topping.  ;D

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

Lori, awww, cute black kitty and paws. Yum on the scary spider cookies!

Clynn, cute black bats, er, I mean cats. i LOVE the Munchkins' costumes! They look great!!  Fingers crossed for a fun and easy introduction of the new kittens coming soon to your household.  Aww, Ivy and willi. ((Jerry))

Oldguy, LOLOL on the cards! Way to go! Let them eat cake.  ;D ;)

TSK, glad it didn't stick, so you don't need to do shoveling or scraping.

Lisa, this morning I set my heat to come on if it gets cold enough to kick in - but it's 76 in my house now. We went to a high of 85 yesterday, officially, and it's supposed to get to 67 today, but it's a cold and very brisk north wind in the 20s, so it feels a bit colder out, and it will be very windy for the next couple of days. High tomorrow 53, with a low of 34 predicted for tomorrow night, and our first freeze is possible then. So I'm guessing my heat will kick in for the first time this season sometime after tomorrow morning. It's going to warm back up by Friday, with 75 on Saturday Sunday, and 76 is forecast for Monday. I'm glad heat won't run much here this week - which helps with the electric bill.  :D

Phyl, I'm sorry about your 1st husband's death at such a young age. My 1st husband died a few days after his 33rd birthday. That prayer you posted is attributed to William Penn, a Quaker leader, as you know, who sailed to America on the Welcome in the early 1680s, and established what later became the state of Pennsylvania. My father's family - also Quakers - sailed with Penn from England at that time, and also originally settled in Pennsylvania before some of them moved south to help establish a Quaker settlement in NC.  I grew up and married in the Quaker church. So that prayer being read at my Quaker cousin's service of remembrance this past summer held extra poignancy for me.  Chili, later, and hot chocolate sound good. Enjoy the Redi-Whip!!  Oh, go ahead... an extra squirt won't hurt.  ;) :D



I'm heading out for a walk now, before I talk myself out of it.  ;) ;D

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Remembering Willi and Ivy  :-*

Lori, Love your Halloween pics... sweet kitty and love the spider cookies! Mike and I would love one right now! LOL! You and Destini have a safe and fun night!   👻

Tsk, it was a cold brisk walk this morning. It was 30 but felt like 25... brrrr... the pets are huddled in my office again. 👻

Phyl, I bought the mix at Target in Fountain Hills. I'm sure they're gone by now.... Thanks for History of Jack o'lanterns... A new bird I've never heard of the Rock Ptarmigan, very pretty. Thanks for nature vid. Perfect Halloween menu!  👻

Kb, Do you have a fun Halloween menu planned? Do you get a lot of children? I hope your ice will melt in time for the children to be out and about. 👻

Tig, Enjoy the movie and great fun Halloween menu!  👻

Hi Lisa, you, Jeff and your fur babies keep warm.  👻

{{{Hugs Clynn}}} it was a shock to our world when Willi passed  :'( .... awww sweet Ivy  :-* ..... Love your morning pics... and the kids costumes are PERFECT!!! LOL! Bella makes a great Wednesday!  8) ... awww Kelsey  :-*. .... Momo  :-* ... love the black bat kitties  👻

Eagles, we're staying home tonight and watch the game.... Our little community doesn't allow children to go door to door. Houses are set apart, no street lights, it's dangerous at night. The community hall is decorated and the children will go there to get a warm cup of cocoa, Halloween treats, games, etc...  👻

Lani - I'm not sure what you mean by Halloween menu?...my dinner?....oh it's just eggs and ham on an English muffin tonight.....Pay day is tomorrow after a very long month ;)...31 days.

for the very first time in my 24 1/2 years I will NOT be open for candy tonight. Going to shut off my outdoor lights and close the blinds and then PRAY!

I am the only house in a block of 10 houses that has given out candy for most of the 24 years. Because of the lack of kiddos, having to keep Ollie man safe, I am just going to do what other's have done for decades.
It's sad actually. I have such fond memories of Halloween as a kid in a neighborhood not all that far away.

Guessing between the 2 apartments across the street, the newer Trunk or Treat festivities, and the Malls events etc. it has slowed things down for neighborhood takings.

There are however several streets in my city that advertise on Nextdoor and FB etc. and they have many that flock to those streets because.....

The weather tonight won't help, for sure.

My decks in back are still pure ice. My front steps are okay as I "worked them". The sun is out and it's above freezing but I don't expect the ice/snow to melt in back for me for several more days.

I left the house around noon, above freezing, for a quick errand a block away, but was still surprised how scary it was...the parking lot, in the shade was pure ice, areas in my street with shade, pure thick ice, and people reporting their first falls of the season!..
Not cool!

Do you get trick or treaters? I just read your last sentence...apparently not! :)

Bounce
Warm tummy from chorizo and eggs, etc. The sunshine is nice, but agree with KB... The sidewalk for the restaurant is in the shade and the strip mall owners did not have a crew come to shovel nor salt. Bad. Thank goodness I have a warm, strong arm to depend on, on my non cane side.
Movie time... Freelance. One of those times I see a movie because Camper wants to. At least it is not a scary one. I won't go to those.

T40, that kitty with the wig cracks me up!

Lani, yes, the Trick or Treating has mostly gone to the big events and malls. Too many crazies out there I guess. Most of them used to be locked up, but not so much anymore...  Wow, you got down to 30 last night? Is that normal for your area?  I think it's time to make chili!

baz, I have had the heat on for a few days now, I was hoping to hold out until November but just couldn't! Very interesting about your Quaker heritage! Good for you and your walk!

tsk, did you get your hot chocolate? I am thinking about a cup of tea...

Phyl, I saw the Ghoul's Mix at Sam's but there is/was one called Cookies and SCREAM. I haven't seen that one!

Lori - Those peanut butter and chocolate spider cookies are too cute.

tig & kb - Wow, 2 inches of snow....yikes!

tsk - You found the hot chocolate??   :D

baz - I had my heat set at 69, but I was still too darn cold.  Had to kick it up a notch! 

Lani - The community hall celebration for the kids sounds like fun.

BAZI   We have been in and out of "blizzards" and then sun most of the afternoon.  Just had 9 trick or treaters come to the door as sun is out but really cold.  Some big stuff overnight they say which may be measurable.  Interesting heritage you have.  :)

T40  Enjoy your cat contributions  ;D  Black cat a fav.

CLYNN  Got my hot chocolate  ;) ;)  Spritz of redi whip as well.  Again as I type - forgot the Baileys again  drat!

Tsk I've made a note of your suggestion for ice  DuPont Teflon Snow and Ice Repellant, Aerosol 10 oz. I have no Baileys  :(
Too bad I don't have FB membership so can't view Karen's posts.
Bazi interesting ancestry to be sure!   Oh yeah. On the Redi Whipp only 15 calories a full  rosette. I give  Maggie  a medium rosette in a cup saucer as a treat. Gone in 5 secs.  ;D

Lani Oh Jack  Skellington . Have Nightmare Before Christmas' Didn't think to watch that one. Gonna see 'Monster House' tonight and put them all away.
Jim was just near Target near the PetSmart where he was grocery shopping for Maggie. If I had read your post earlier.

Lori/Tig I made those frankfurter mummies one year. They're  cute and fun to eat and not alot of bread. Which is what I like. ;)
Ih that Wendy's kitty!

KB me too. Fond memories of door to door 'trick or treating'.  The employee housing  was so large had they had so many friends that invitged me to stop by ---they had to drive me

Dear Lisa thank you---that isn't necessary---when I can hop on my broom and be there in a few!  Now Jeff would faint if a witch with black
silver streaked hair knocked  on his door.  ;)

Old  Guy   Q-Kids and 'Monster Mash'  ;)  You've done it now! Purrbie can't be beat!!!  Enjoyed this soooo much had to call Jim up. He was impressed.

Howdy Beakers.



Clynn, if my temps had been the same as yours, I would've turned on my heat, too!  There's a looong Quaker tradition in my family.

Lisa, sometimes it's just hard to get warm, for no apparent reason!

TSK, I still measure loose coffee grounds into a drip coffee maker, so I'm not up on all things k-cups. The cocoa kcups were in the middle of the coffee ones?? Anyway, I guess that means you got your cocoa... but you forgot the BAILEYS?!?!? LOL.  ;)  Thanks for posting Karen's story to share. I saw about your weather when I turned on the Weather Channel this evening! Stay in tomorrow - and remember the Bailey's!  ;D 8)

Karen, nice story about Rose and growing up and growing older.

Phyl, I'm not on FB either. That link from Karen doesn't require a FB membership.

Lori, and others, those mummy weiners are really fun! I always liked that combo, too... especially the appetizer size, with different kinds of dips.  Is Destini wearing a costume today?

Lani, my porch lights are off tonight, but I haven't seen any trick-or-treaters here in many years now. Like you said, there are many community events, Trunk-or-Treat, and other things for the kids to do here, though some neighborhoods still have a busy traditional Halloween for trick-or-treating here.

BL, I'm not sure if your "boys of summer" post was in reference to baseball, but I'm watching Game 4 now. I'm not too enthusiastic since I don't have any emotional attachment of any kind to either team in the World Series this year. I guess I'll pull for the D-backs since all my living exes live in Texas.  ;) OMG Texas just hit a 3-run homerun... 10-0 Rangers in the top of the 3rd!!  :o ::)



Beakers, I got in a 31-minute walk today around lunchtime, after I posted earlier today. Then I ran a couple of errands, and on my drive home, I took a shortcut through the neighborhood across the street, where I often walk, and there were 3... count 'em, 3! coyotes... just nose to the ground, walking in a line, one behind the other, along the bank of one of the retention ponds, near a treeline. When I first saw them, I thought someone's dogs had gotten out, because they each had a darker streak of hair on them than most coyotes I've seen, and they looked larger and very healthy. Then I looked again and realized they were coyotes... at 3:15 pm. I knew that a coyote was a regular in that neighborhood, and is seen in my neighborhood, too, but all the people who have seen it have done so in the early mornings, when they were walking their dogs right after it got light. I thought it was kind of odd to see them all out like that, so visibly, with so many people around, at that time of day. I spoke with the wildlife person who was in his truck nearby there, because an employee of that development had told me someone had seen the coyotes on a walking path and had reported them. So I drove over to the wildlife guy's truck to tell him I had just seen all 3 of them together a half block away, walking on the bank of one of the retention ponds there. The wildlife guy's reply to me was, "Well, they live here." Yep. So there's that.  8)


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Kb, yum eggs, ham, english muffin, sounds good! Mike asked to make pancakes for dinner tomorrow! So, that's what we'll have tomorrow. I'll make a couple of eggs for me, and hash browns too. Tonight's potato soup and bacon/tomato sandwiches.... I hope it will warm up tomorrow and melt the ice.

Tig, Congrats on tonight's win! YIKES!

T40 Great Halloween pics!

Lori, love the wiener mummies. I wondered what they would look like.

Clynn, it's normal to be in the 30's. We're at 5500 elevation. But, we do need moisture. And I see none for another 10 days... love the weiner mummie... Halloween looked like that in Kansas, in the 70's, 80's & 90's too. Up and down the streets kids everywhere. I loved watching the teachers and school children parade around their school and through the neighborhood too. The good ole days... "Cookies & Screeem" I've not seen that!  :o. oh, that would be delicious! They'll be gone here in Payson, maybe Shannon can find it at Target in Mesa.

Tsk, thanks for sharing your snow and ice repellent. I'll order it now so we'll have it when needed. We've already bought one bag of ice melt to have it handy for the first snow.

Lisa, I'll need to buy cocoa kcups.

Oldguy, Fun video by the Q Kids!  ;D... cool Purrbie House! LOL!  8)

Phyl, Yes, I found it at Target. Walmart or Safeway did not have it here in Payson. We have to go to the valley for a wider selection of groceries or items.

Good night!

Hi EVERYONE

29 degrees. BRRR

Only 25 trick or treaters last night - Down 30 from last year.   :o

OLDGUY   Barbie house - super enrichment activity for the cats  ;D   Always liked Monster Mash  ;D

BAZI   Tim is the K cup coffe drinker and I have my Mr  Coffee.   But I do sneak my  cocoa cup into his Keurig and I also use it for hot water for my tea.. ;) ;)   Interesting response from the wildlife guy about the coyotes.  Right place at the right time to see that.

PHYL   Your front porch is lovely.  :)    This is the time of the year I light my scented candle at dinner time.  Try to find "evergreen" or other winter scents.

KB   Cute blower starter.  Get Chris on that bike  LOL

HAPPY 89TH B-DAY TO CLYNN'S MOM

currently 52 - high 82

Tig & Kb - let the shoveling begin  ::)

Kb - Does Ollie still like to go for a walk when it's cold and icy - does he change his mind once he gets outside? :-\   

Lori - Like your cute Happy Halloween post! ;D

Phyl - Yummy & tasty Halloween dinner!!  We had a simple meal of chili hot dogs (2 ea.)  This was while we were handing out candy! :)   

Lani - Nice that your HOA provides a safe place to give the kids a Halloween treat and to have fun!    Over here, many houses stay dark - we got around 80 Trick or Treaters, and closed up at 8:30 when no one was going up & down the street anymore.  Years ago most houses were lit up and we would get 300+ .

Tig - Sounds like a fun Halloween for you guys!

T40 - Cute  :)

Clynn - 50's Halloween pic! ;D

LisaG - Turn on the heat as needed! ;)  We are lucky to be having warmer than normal temps right now, but we really need the rain!

Oldguy - The Monster Mash  ;D

Bazi - Enjoy your walk!


Happy 89th Birthday to Clynn's Mom!

tsk, 22 here, high 47 today! And it looks like nothing below for the next 15 days!  61 for Friday and Sunday!  I use the K-Cups but haven't tried the hot chocolate! Last year the Keurig was acting up, I thought it was about ready to quit, but I found a youtube video and fixed it! In the meantime I bought a unit that does the K-Cups and you can also make a pot of brewed coffee. It's still in the box, the Keurig is still going... I love the Woodwick Fraiser Fir and Yankee Balsam Cedar candles for the holidays! The Woodwicks have the crackling fire sound when they burn.

kb, a bit colder down here in Central Iowa! Well, they got the darn thing started!

Phyl, graceful cranes in France, beautiful! Cinnamon Day, I love cinnamon! And scented candles too! Is that your porch? If it is, you did a beautiful job decorating!

Lani, we used to have such fun on Halloween! When I worked for the mortgage company in the late 80s, early 90s, before we were bought out by bigger and bigger companies, we looked forward to Halloween! Everyone dressed up and then the president of the company (always in costume) would judge each department. The winner got a pizza party. My department was the Beverly Hillbillies one year, Gangsters, Punk Accountants, Clowns in other years. We had such fun back then!

oldguy, my favorite video was the Purrbie House, wow, a lot of work went into that and it really got the cats attention! And now at work you get to do away with all the Halloween stuff and get the Christmas stuff totally out!

baz, your walks are so interesting, love the wildlife person's response to your report. 'well, they live there'!

This is a FB post between two of the gals in Springfield that I worked and partied with 30 years ago, still having Halloween fun!

Vicky Kelly
Another fun Halloween in the books. Just over 40 trick or treaters braved the cold to knock on our door and show off their fun costumes. One very young warrior even asked if he could come and see what was inside our house😂🤭. In addition to candy, I gave away one fuzzy jacket (to a cold ghost) and 5 sets of hand warmers. (You know it's cold when kids pick hand warmers over candy!!! I threw them in there on a whim and glad I did!)  Hope everyone enjoyed one of my favorite holidays! 🎃
Rose K Turner
Wow! That's awesome!
My ghost buster crew came back early and cold. I had food and hot, chocolate waiting for them.
Vicky Kelly
Rose K Turner That's what it's all about. I remember you doing the same for my little boy!

eagles4 - good questions regarding Ollie...
Ollie could care less about the temp or icy or whatever....I'm the one who MAKES him put on a coat as he is a one coated dog, not 2....he thinks that's a game now. A game to avoid putting on a coat.

and, I'm the one only who chooses to walk or not to walk....Yesterday was way too icy....I made an executive decision it was too dangerous.

Today is fine, but cold....another executive decision by me not to today.....just cause. I don't feel like it and am going grocery shopping etc....LOL

We got a record breaking 21 trick-or-treater's last night. 

oldguy - Thanks for the Q-Kids video, and the Barbie Dream house for kitties. 

Phyl - LOL, I don't think Jeff would be scared!  Thanks for the DOTY, and the 365. 

baz - I agree with your comment on trying to get warm.  Yikes on the coyotes on your walk!

Lani - When Jeff makes the cocoa in k-Cups he likes to two 2 smalls to make it taste extra chocolatey.  Your dinner sounds good. 

kb - Aww, kitty and bunny.

tsk - Brrrr, is right! 

E4E - Hope you all get some rain soon. 

clynn - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your Mom!

Lots of pain today (the weather?) But I made myself go to the pool. The water was not too cold and I worked hard. I made some oatmeal with peanut butter and vitamin powder and my coffee.
I hope to watch Gauff v Swiatek today ?
Thanx re the Rangers. I have a feeling D Backs will rally tonight ??

EAGLES   WOW  300 kids.  That beats any high I ever had in 3 digits!!

CLYNN   Thanks for the recommendations for the candle scents.  Your FB friends are great doing what was needed!   " Big Cheerios"  LOL

LISA   Did you have enough candy?  ;)   Jeff's 2 K-Cups - now that's an idea.  I'd need a bigger mug  LOL

Happy November, Beakers!  :)


LOL, it's easy to tell who reads for content, and who scans.... LOLOL!  Just to set the record "scrait," LOL...I did not see the coyotes on my 31-minute lunchtime walk yesterday!!  ;D  I drove past them on my way home from running errands about 3:15 yesterday afternoon, when I took a driving shortcut home through the neighborhood across the street from my neighborhood.  ;D ;D ;D  There's going to be a pop quiz!   ;) ;D ;D ;D 8)

Oh, and I found out it wasn't a wildlife officer I talked to yesterday, it was someone from the county's sheriff's department. When people call about potential problem, or scary, wild critters here, like alligators and coyotes and such, he's the guy that comes out and checks out the situation, and he determines if it's something that needs a for-real "gummint" wildlife officer's attention.  ;)  That's to avoid over-taxing the 2 local wildlife officers on duty here with calls that they aren't really needed to handle, so they can go about doing what they are really needed to do.  This will be an extra credit bonus question on the pop quiz.    ;D 8)



Meanwhile... on more important matters...  :D :D

Hello November!
Morning 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!

Baz hmmm Pop Quiz ... I never did well on them.  :-[

{{{Hugs Tig}}} My right knee bothers me these cold mornings, so I understand. The pool waters will help you  :-* ... that's why I make myself walk everyday no matter what. I had to close my eyes the last two innings. :-\ ... I think it'll be TX Rangers this year! Oh well, the Boys of Summer had a good run!  ;D

Lisa, 21 for Halloween night is pretty good. Shannon had to work last night, so she left a large old fashion pot filled with candy. A neighbor kept a distant eye on it. And every child took just one. Shannon told her neighbor to take what was left when everyone was shutting down for the night. She loves her Mormon neighborhood.  ;D I think she had 200+ .. Her Ring door  cam kept track.

Lori, darling birthday gifts for Clynn's mom! Yummy too!

Clynn, I remember it was the same in Salina. No matter where you shopped, the employees were dress up and baskets of goodies or hot cinnamon tea or cocoa was available to customers. I loved going to our Phillips gas station, the attendants were in costume and they still provided full service up to when we moved in 2002. Even our town hospital nurses and doctors were in costume. Those were the days!  8)... your FB friends are awesome for giving what was needed the most!  :) .... LOL Big Cheerios!.... {{{Hey, Hey, we're the Monkees  ;D}}}

Eagles, WOW 300+!!! Shannon's neighborhood had a lot of kids too! We had another frosty morning and we need rain too. I was hoping some of the clouds from Hurricane Otis would head up this way. But, alas.  :(

Tsk, I've got the pumpkin candle burning.

Kb  Geniuses!  8)

Phyl, Potato soup is Mike's favorite.... one of the many special fall moments is watching the bird migration fly over, thanks for nature video.... Cinnamon day yum!

Lani, LOL, my post was tongue-in-cheek. I hope people know me well enough by now to know.  ;) :D I just wanted to let everyone know I didn't actually walk past those 3 coyotes yesterday. That would've been a little more excitement than I would want - they were very close to one of my walking paths, so I'm glad I was in the car, and not on foot, when I saw them!  :D  I know you can relate... I would freak if I took one of your wonderful walks in nature and encountered a javelina!!  Potato soup sounds so good right now!!  :) Wow on All the honest little goblins at Shannon's house last night! Good to hear that!  :) :-*

OK just to join the survey --  My doorbell rang twice; first one he didn't give me enough time.  When I reached the door he was already half way down the driveway.  Second one was a younger teen, fully costumed and looking witchy.  Gave her two fists of whatever.  It is sad the tradition changed.  We had more fun with it.

And, to start the traffic results of the coming of winter. . .

They actually had three major expressways in the area this morning until about 7 and 8.  Problems started about 2 a.m. is what I heard.  Started with the intermittent bands of light snow.  tsk's area had measurable; I had some flakes.  What fell was melting for a while, making surfaces looked like it rained.  However, Mother Nature won when the temp dropped enough for the "wet" to turn to black ice.  So many accidents that at that crucial time "rushhour" turned into hours and many multiple car accidents.  Three interstates, you know that was a BAD way to start the day/the season.  Did it make the national news shows anywhere??

Good Afternoon, Beakers!
Good posts on a chilly day!  We are above freezing and have a bright sunnu day with wind out of tge north!  Maybe down in the thirties tonight.  The thermostat showed that it is 73 degrees in here but I switched it
To  heat!   Keep it at 72 as I think electric heat is colder than gas!  Lol, how can that be!   Think the problem is that this heat come out of ducts in the ceilings !  Since heat rises .i think it would be toastup there!   My feet are cold!  System works great for air!
Weather ap says there is a warning trend for all beginning tomorrow.  We will see it the next day!  At least there will be a snow and ice melt and a return of warmer temps!

Let me add my wishes to Clynns Mom for a wonderful Birthday today!  I am sharing the wonderful sweets posted for her by all!  Yummy!   You will all have to begin making plans for a great 90th celebration!
When did you say you were going to see the kitties?

Thanks for posting the cute Halloween update on the eagles of Deborah!   Read a clecer version of tge like by Vicki on M15 and F23.

There were a lot  of ghosts and goblins out last night and Putter monitored the action for a bit out of the dining room window!   One foot on the window sill and a few low woof, woofs!  I was the witch with the lights out so I am not sure how many were!  Parents drive car loads here and watch them so there were a lot .  Usually over a hundred.

baz, you might begin to carry dog biscuits in your pockets on your walks!
You could become the coyote lady! Or, spread a lot of kibble on the ground!  Keep them busy searching and eating!

karen, did you change Piper's name to Putter?  LOLOL! You are wise to keep your light off, if Ms. Piper (Putter) ran out you wouldn't be able to catch her!

We will have temps between 48 and 63 for the next couple of weeks, I consider that good! We called Mom at Cathy's earlier and sang Happy Birthday to her. I told her she had a lot of Birthday Wishes in the Beak Room, she asked me to thank you all! 

Puff, it is sad that there are so many creepy people in this world that we can't let kids go out and trick or treat. Didn't it start when someone put razor blades in apples years ago? And then the tampered with Tylenol in 1982.  Here is an interesting article about the tricks found in treats in the past...   https://halloweenlove.com/razor-blades-in-the-apple-urban-myth-or-deadly-fact/
Black ice is wicked!

Lori, love the wonderful goodies for my Mom!

baz, love the little girl riding the alligator!  ;D ;D

Lani, we did have a lot of fun back in the 60's!

What was childhood like in the '60s?
Growing up in the 1960s was a unique experience. Children had more freedom and independence than they do today. They could come and go with few restrictions and play unsupervised for hours at a time. Kids walked, unaccompanied by an adult, to and from school or the school bus stop. Independent latchkey kids were common.

Toys like BB guns, cap guns, yard darts, and other quite dangerous toys were popular. Kids could easily open bottles because they weren’t child safe. Sugary gum and candy were a 1960s childhood staple.

Teachers could and would use corporal punishment.

The 1960s were turbulent, violent, but also colorful years. There were assassins and flower children, alienation and idealism, rebellion and repercussion.

I want to thank you all for the wonderful and beautiful birthday wishes for my Mom!

Within the child lies the fate of the future...

CLYNN  The royal children are beautiful.   So many times I did that with my cassettes  LOL  And yes for all the turbulence of the 60's it was a great time.  Lots of face to face "friends", outside all the time, so much safer - Kindergarten I walked 6 blocks by myself when Mom was sure I knew the way.

No name change but I had  Putter so long what when I type a capital P, utter almost always follows!  Lol
Avtuslly, Putter would not have paid any attentiom to them.
As a long suffering Cubs fan, I am extremely partial to the National league!  Would have loved yo see the adb win the series!  Lani, can they win all the rest of the games?
Good for Shannon!
Tig, why don't you wear socks wit that winter foot ware?  When I was a kid I read Jack London Call of the Wild.  I. The book he said he wore tennis shoes and wool socks in snowy cold Alaska?  Said they were warm and dried fast!
Phyl, tasty dinner for Jim!
Lori, you post one delicious looking thing after another!  I could eas almost all of them!

Oh, I get it on the picture of the 3 children.  I think the 50s were the best time to grow up!  Walked to school withoutparents!
Speaking of eating, the cheerios are to die for!   No kk here but dunkin donuts opened!  Night all.  Seds

Congrats Tig and Texas Rangers fans!  8)

Baz, pet Gator! .... CPS required... little girl looks like Shirley Temple.

Karen, Did you change Piper's name to Putter? cute  ;D ... No kibbles or biscuits for the coyotes.  ;D

Tsk, Mesa, Payson, Pine, Strawberry, ShowLow, Pinetop, there's a large community of Mormons in the state. A few of our state officials/Rep are Mormons. Shannon lives in a very close knit Mormon community. They take care of each other, especially during the lockdown. And they took care of Shannon. It took her awhile to get use to, but she likes it now, if she needs anything someone's husband or son would be there to repair a roof, electrical or lawn problem... She gives to them as well. A couple tried to fix her up with their sons, but, she's too independent for that. LOL!!!  ... I walked several blocks to school too, and even took a shortcut under a wire fence onto a naval facility and walked around the silver Quon sid huts and back under a wire fence and there was Pearl Harbor Elementary.  ;D Mother never knew and neither did the Navy.  ;D

SED Puff, Phyl, Eagles  :)

Clynn, I loved the 60's!  ;D ... Pencil! LOL!

Oldguy, We had season tickets to KU ball games. One of the greatest games we went to was Coach Knight/Indiana playing at Allen Fieldhouse KU and Coach Roy Williams. I'll always remember seeing him walk on the floor! Awesome! Great Coaches and great night for basketball.

BL, goodness, living life on the edge!  8)

Eburg,  ;D

Puff   confession time--for some unknown reason when I type your  forum 'handle' I type 'Purr" .   

 ;D  I'll take that just fine.

As a former typing teacher, I'll give you free dispensation for all PURR mistakes.  :-*

BTW   It is the correct fingering, just the wrong bank of the keyboard.   

Morning to all the early risers.

GOOD MORNING

OLDGUY   Spunky Miri.    Q kids have come a long way since Covid...Cool kitchen  ;)

EBURGH   I'm sure you are correct!!!

LANI   Very interesting about the Mormon community.  I didn't know that.   " Trying to fix Aly up"  Now THAT is being watchful.  LOLOL  But really nice to have community support and a handyman at beck and call  :)    Your scooting under the fence reminds me of Mom's story as a child.  She lived blocks from the Wisconsin state fair and she and friends would climb the fence to get in free.  Her mom was also not told  LOL

PHYL  Autumn display 365  :)   Did not do 7-up floats - just root beer. ;) ;)

tsk, haven't had a root beer float for years! We used to make Orange Crush floats, and I also remember a strawberry soda, and a grape! I think the girl on the alligator is funny, no matter the truth!  ;D ;D ;D  Your Mom was a rebel!

Puff, I was never very fast at typing, but I could take shorthand at 120 words per minute! Of course, the shorthand is useless these days, the typing comes in very handy!

Phyl, love and remember all those old time items! Kohl's used to have two or three rows of pantyhose, now it's a 2' by 2' section if that! The typewriter ball reminded me how we corrected errors before the white out or correction strips! Bubble gum cigars!  The ruffled Grouse is beautiful!

Lani, sounds like Shannon is in a good place to live. Oh my, you snuck under the fence of the Naval Base to get to school? One night a few of us snuck out at night and went to the grade school. We leaned a picnic table against the wall and got on the roof of one of the buildings. Just walking around... The AP's (Air Police) nabbed us, they thought we were skateboarding on the roof! They dropped each of us off at our houses and told us to get back to bed. Didn't ring the doorbell and get Dad up, thank goodness. We never did that again.  ::)

BL, wow, you have been a lucky guy!

kb, so you did have a pet named Putter? Before Sassy? How old is your computer? LOLOL!

Kb - Cute vid of horse & dog!  Fun for Ollie in having a next door doggie to run back & forth with! ;D   Cute tortoise & cow companionship  :)

Tsk, Lani - just a clarification; Halloween we got 80 Trick or treaters.  It was years ago when we would get 300 kids (probably back in the mid nineties)!

Clynn - Sounds like your Mom enjoyed her special day and glad you let her know about her birthday wishes from the Beakers! ;D
           Like the retro Sears and S&H Green Stamp store. :)

Tsk - My Mom walked me to Kindergarten for a while, but later I would walk with other kids the 3 or 4 blocks to school - it was a safe time back then! :)
        Lol! Liked the story of your Mom & friends!! ;D

Eburg  :)

Lani - Good that Shannon lives in a nice close knit Mormon community - bet it is reassuring for you & Mike too. :)
 
Phyl - Like your pretty 'Happy Thursday'!  Liked the Ruffed Grouse  :)   Love all the retro pics!!! 

Puff - Didn't know you used to teach typing! :)

I did not feel good yesterday, so went to bed at 6pm, and forgot to say good night.  I see I have lots to catch up on. 

Lani - Yes, 21 for Halloween was a good night, but I still have lots of candy.  A whole unopened bag of Reese's peanut butter pumpkin shaped candy is heading to Jeff's work on Monday.  It would be too dangerous left here.  ;D  Wow, Shannon did have alot of lil trick-or treater's!

baz - Love your Later Gator post  ;D ;D

karen - baz, the coyote lady  ;D

clynn - LOL, pencil....  Hope your Mom had a great bday!

Phyl - Pretty morning greeting, too.  Thanks for the DOTY, and the 365.  Loved those bubblegum cigars. 

kb - Stay warm, and hope you get some warmer days for your outside chores.

Morning to Puff, E4E. tig and all :)

OK just to join the survey --  My doorbell rang twice; first one he didn't give me enough time.  When I reached the door he was already half way down the driveway.  Second one was a younger teen, fully costumed and looking witchy.  Gave her two fists of whatever.  It is sad the tradition changed.  We had more fun with it.

And, to start the traffic results of the coming of winter. . .

They actually had three major expressways in the area this morning until about 7 and 8.  Problems started about 2 a.m. is what I heard.  Started with the intermittent bands of light snow.  tsk's area had measurable; I had some flakes.  What fell was melting for a while, making surfaces looked like it rained.  However, Mother Nature won when the temp dropped enough for the "wet" to turn to black ice.  So many accidents that at that crucial time "rushhour" turned into hours and many multiple car accidents.  Three interstates, you know that was a BAD way to start the day/the season.  Did it make the national news shows anywhere??

I hate to say it but I will: We had that ice a few days ago, but NEVER hit the news, ever....it's just the coasts now..Chicago used to be added, but now maybe not even you.

Puff and KB, I saw both, Minneapolis's and Chicago's, snow and ice and traffic snarls on the news, and also highlighted on The Weather Channel, including several videos. KB, it depends what news shows and channels you watch.   ::)

Clynn, first tzus I had were Charley Chan and Chu Chan!   Got them as puppies.  After they passes I got Bogey from rescue.  Then a friend and I took some dogs from a local backyard breeder for the rescue we volunteered with.  She kept one and I kept 9 year old Putter.  She was a black girl small but pudgy.  Her name was hope which I didn’t like so I named her putter.  Poor baby had been bred at every heat! Loved puppies.  Ignored Bogey!   The three musketeers were an odd group! I loved them all and they pretty much just co existed!  Sassy was a real case!  She came to me as the last of the three at 11 months. She was purchased  from a Louisiana breeder by a traveling nurse who bought her for her mother.   The mother died.
A lady from Alabama went to the funeral and agreed to take Sassy!  She gave her to a young girl who wanted to take her.  The young girl kept her a short time and took her to a kill shelter in Daphne, Al.   These two women worked at an outlet mall and a third fried who was the manager of the Waterford shop asked the girl how Sassy was doing.  When she found out she was in the shelter she drive up and got her out.  She called the Fairhope shelter which is no kill and was told they were full.

KAREN   That is some history of your pets.  You are a kind person. :-*

So I am trying to challenge Lulu a bit more.  Her treat mouse which Tim gives her precisely at 8 PM CST or else she doesn't shut up - is way too easy for her.   So I started with one "dispenser cup" ( 3 oz?) and put a treat under it hoping she would tip the cup with her paw but no she pushes it with her nose til the lip skirts over the treat.  Then I went to 2 cups.  She actually finds it by sniffing it out  LOL  Last night I tried 3 cups and moved them around - this we have to practice a lot more  LOLOL  Will keep you posted.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning 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}}} loved your story {{{Sassy}}} ... okay, what are you calling Piper? Chili sounds like the perfect thing to make! I wish Mike liked it!

Baz never got caught! 8)

Lisa, Reese's cups were my late MILs favorite treats. Always had a bowl full year round.

Eagles, We're tickled for Shannon to have neighbors like that.... Shannon keeps to herself and is more serious of our two daughters. She's hard to get to know. She's a lot like my mother who was, suspicious and cautious, but she has Mike's mom's great midwestern dry sense of humor, she's very quick witted like my late MIL  ;D .... living in such a tight knit community like she does, has been interesting watching her become more trusting and open. Though, she's politely turned down their offers of visiting their church.  ;D For instance now, Shannon likes to decorate her front entry for each season, as well as University of Kansas decorations. She had her front sidewalk all done up for the KU football season. Then one morning she goes through her garage door to do her morning walk with her dog. When she returned home she glanced at her front entrance. And all her KU decorations was covered with BYU stuff!!! She loved it!!!  No one ever admitted doing the deed!  ;D ;D ;D

Kb, love the horse and dog. Too bad there wasn't a longer run for both to do together!

Clynn, Now, that lucky for you to have such understanding APs!  ;D. ... like your morning posts.

Tsk, Your mom!  ;D. I used the shortcut to school to avoid a gang of 6th graders.  8) ... cute night time challenge for Lulu. I'll have to try that with my cats, they don't like to play with toys, boxes or grocery sacks. They just look at me like I'm an idiot.  ???

Phyl, beautiful Ruffed Grouse strutting his gorgeous self!... I had the gum, used the Leggs and I remember the Prestige typewriter. In my 3 years of typing in high school, I used the Royal, Underwood and Smith Corona. Never tried 7-up floats, just root beer.

Tsk - My Mom walked me to Kindergarten for a while, but later I would walk with other kids the 3 or 4 blocks to school - it was a safe time back then! :)
        Lol! Liked the story of your Mom & friends!! ;D

Eburg  :)

Lani - Good that Shannon lives in a nice close knit Mormon community - bet it is reassuring for you & Mike too. :)
 
Phyl - Like your pretty 'Happy Thursday'!  Liked the Ruffed Grouse  :)   Love all the retro pics!!! 

Puff - Didn't know you used to teach typing! :)

Morning Tig, Karen, LisaG, Oldguy  :)

Beakers have a nice day  :)

E4E  Sure enough! Did 30 years with Chicago Board of Education.  Had the BIG kids, high school, juniors and seniors, Business Education classes, south and west sides.

Started with Smith-Corona and/or Royal manual machines.  Ended up with electric Selectric IBM with the "elements"  which the kids like to keep.  Just to be doing something, they could never use them any where else for anything.  And they cost about $60-70.  Not good.  Just before I retired they were switching to electronic.  Also taught shorthand, both Pitman and Gregg.  Now boss talks to hand-held something and hands it over to staff to key somewhere, somehow, on something.

some bounce
Rosie update. The arm sling did not stop her from breaking open her stitches. She now has a cone and visits the vet every day for medicine. That's all we know.  :-[
Only 39 degrees today. Yardwerk will have to wait until tomorrow.
I took an antiinflammatory last night which helped me get a good workout in the pool today.

this is central MN.

tig - an hour ago, I got out front and mowed/bagged my Crimson King leaves off a small strip of grass...lawn care picked up tomorrow anyway.
My front mower stored in the garage will start even below 40. Back yard mower in shed, not so much.

But, also looking forward to getting lawn work done tomorrow through Sunday.
Odd year with such cold temps, yet leaves have not all fallen off the trees.
Tough one.

got a walk in this cold morning with Ollie...I now just sit in a chair and "wait him out" about putting on his coat....no coat, no walk, Ollie.....He's learning, I'm not such a push over.

LANI   Cute story about BYU covering her KU decorations   Cats are all so different - almost like people.  ;)  Altho non cat lovers would not see that  LOL

BAZI  Lulu has one amazing nose - She has to sniff absolutely everything.  I bought a new pair of slippers at Costco this week with the fur cuff around the ankle.  Well I had unpackaged them and they were sitting on the island for me to put away and she had grabbed one by the fur like it was her new toy.  Put them in my closet on the shoe rack and next thing I know she pulled it off and again played.  So now I store them higher and with fur pointed in  LOL
LOLOL  "Lani's rooster is courting your hen"   ;D ;D ;D ;D  Then there is the dog smiling  SO funny.

TIG    ((((ROSIE))))

KB   Our temps warming up to the 50's til next Thurs  Glad you got your leaves mowed up.   We have one huge maple in our back yard and only half the leaves have dropped so Tim took the blower today and just got them all together in a big pile.   His "new" ( 1 yr+)  EGO electric mower is in for repair.  :P

Post by: kbshcb on November 02, 2023, 06:28:01 PM

tsk - oh no!...on the repair already!...reminds me of Dennis and Vi who got one recently and needed repair this summer. But, nobody could repair them unless they took it all the way to St. Paul..
A long way for 87 year olds.

Oh I have lots of leaves to come down and either rake or mow. The issue now with the temps will be to decide on when to put seafoam in the mowers without gas and put them away or wait till who knows when? And then just rake or blow them somewhere?

Puff many thanks --my wireless keyboard has keys that are all level not like the only one that was more like typewriter. Also the pitch/bank of keyboard isn't steep enough. But I love the wireless as it's backlit.  :)

Tsk festive garland this AM; 7Up made yummy floats with fruit ice cream those were alternative to 'Black Cows' made w/ root beer and vanilla ice cream.
My mom use to work in  the fountain/counter  at Woolworths during WWII while dad was in Europe.  She was one of the best.
Lulu won't be easily 'fooled' or duped.      I use to hid them  Greenies Dental chews all over the house when Mike was alive ---he/Maggie  would be
like 'blood hounds'.

CLynn luv  your Autumns; know all to well those wheel erasures w/ brush ---hated them ---then there was Liquid Paper---
and all was right with the typing world.  ;D  Oh yeah, Sears-Roebuck catalog counter and the S&H Green stamp store---Blue Chip big part of a family's life then.

KB  far out--- G. Shephard and Stallion racing; sweet Ollieman has friend  to 'chat' with  through the fence; awesome  albino White-tailed deer tks to Mike Osmond observations

E4E very nice Autumn today; I often long for those 'childhood days'  Bad sign, guess.

Lisa feel better now, I hope. The girls I walked from Eagle Mtn Elementary near the 400 block down to the 1800 block , would stop by the barber shop
and buy penny  Bazooka bubble gum--the ladie's salon didin't carry the stuff-- and we'd stand outside reading the comics it was wrapped in then walk home  ;D

Karen enjoy you chili, we had left over last night's dinner; have you heard of 'Inspire' for  OSP/sleep apnea? No more Cpap with that.

Bazi never had a stout or Black and Tan, Jim has from time to time. Your  Black & Tan coming right up!  Too funny Lani's rooster and your hen---

Lani Shannon is most blessed to be  in a Mormon community.  ;)  ;  Royal manual to start then Smith-Corona and then The  IBM Selectric (electric typewriter). That sound on those timed exercises--- when Mr. McDowell said "Begin!'  ;D
So funny Shannon's front porch KU decorations being switched to BYU.

Tig  oh no poor {{{Rosie}}}! Prayers to St Francis

LisaG - Good to hit the sack early when not feeling well! Hope you are a little bit better now. :)

Karen - Loved the stories and backgrounds of the dogs you have taken in and made a beautiful & safe home. 

Bazi - Wow! You still have luggage purchased in the S&H Green Stamp store!! ::) ;D

Tsk - Lulu and the treat mouse! ;)  Is it a real mouse?

Lani - Shannon sounds like she knows how to handle anything that comes her way - good she is strong! :)

Puff - I enjoyed taking typing for 2 years in HS and later on bought my own Royal typewriter to keep and use at home!  It came in handy (late 70's-80's) for typing up Resumes for work!

Kb - Amazing pic of the albino white tailed deer :-*   Good for you in teaching Ollie that he needs to have his coat on for an early walk on a cold morning. ;) :)

Phyl - Your Mom worked at a Woolworth's at the lunch counter?!!! Wow, I bet she had some stories of customers!  Cozy 'night'!

Tsk, You're going to have a hard time wearing those slippers. ;D {{{Lulu}}} ... oh I agree with you about cats being human like in their emotions and how they look at their world.
too bad about Tim's mower. Mowers, appliances, washer or dryers just don't last as long as they did before. I loved my electric mower that I used in Kansas. Had it for quite a few years before it needed repairs.

Phyl, Interesting story about your mom. I bet she had many stories to share about that time in our history... I loved 3 years of typingm, including the time exercises, our teacher Mr. Akau was the best! He was my shorthand teacher too.

{{{Lisa}}} I hope you felt better today and tonight. Sleep well.  :-*

Several celebrations for Friday November 3, 2023

National Sandwich Day
Two delicious slices of bread hugging an array of mouth-watering ingredients,
creating the perfect handheld meal to satisfy hunger cravings.
History of National Sandwich Day
There is a commonly known story about the history of the word sandwich, and it’s attributed to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. One piece of that history that has been tossed about is the meaning of the word Sandwich and the town it comes from.

Sandwich is a city in the shire of Kent in England, in the United Kingdom, Originally the word was spelled ‘Sondwic’, and then ‘Sandwic’ and, eventually in the year 1086 as ‘Sandwice’. The name of the town came from its purpose and its claim to fame because it was a market town. So what does Sandwich actually mean? The exact definition is “Market Town on Sandy Soil”.

John Montagu was the fourth Earl of this particular little English town. An earl was a royal title that essentially means ‘chieftain’, which placed the person in charge of a territory in the King’s stead. As it happens, John was a well-known lover of card games. It is said that he originally ordered his meat to be delivered to him between two slices of bread so that he would not get his grease-laden fingers on the card, nor require a fork to eat. Genius!

Japanese Culture Day
A rich tapestry of traditions, art, and philosophy, weaving together ancient wisdom and contemporary vibrancy in daily life.

World Jellyfish Day
Floating gracefully, this ocean creature displays a stunning dance of translucent elegance beneath the waves, an embodiment of the sea's mysteries.

Love Your Lawyer Day
They're the legal eagles, the defenders of justice, and the guardians of rights. They'll help you navigate the law and fight for your cause!
Even before Shakespeare, lawyers have routinely gotten a bad rap for the kind of work that they do. Opined as the sum of all evils, and often the subject of some very unflattering metaphors, over time, lawyers have become the butt of some of the most well-known jokes around.

But lawyers also serve some very important purposes. At their best, lawyers are helpful and useful to society at large.
That’s why Love Your Lawyer Day was created.

Smart Home Day
Embracing modern technology's harmonious integration into our living spaces, ushering in a new era of convenience and efficiency.

Lani, so you took shorthand too! Most girls did back in 'those days'! And Home Economics, I took all four years in High School, and the Jr. High I went to on AZ also had Home Ec for both years! I was sewing my own dresses back then! They don't have Home Ec or Shop anymore... sad. Love the dog noses!

E4E, I remember when we got the IBM Selectric typewriters in class, we were right uptown! I remember Mom had a typewriter in a case but can't remember what kind it was.

baz, those chickens, and Junior!

Phyl, I couldn't think of the name of the typing corrector - liquid paper!  But make sure you wait until it is dry! Then Liquid paper came with those little pieces of paper you placed over the error and it whited it out. Oh the fun of reading the Bazooka Joe comics! And it was good bubble gum!  Don't you wish you had a picture of your Mom working the counter at Woolworths? I can remember going to one in Evansville with Grandpa and Grandma. Root Beer floats! Your new post popped up when I previewed! Reading it now!

tsk, Lulu loves your furry slippers! We talked to the man who has the Siamese kittens yesterday. I had it wrong, the kittens we are getting were just born on 10/23! We are going to see them on 11/15 after they have had their visit to the vet. Can't wait!

tig, prayers for Rosie...

kb, glad that man got to see the albino deer after that long ride!

Lisa, hope you feel so much better today!

Puff, you taught shorthand! That is a lost art and was never useful to me but I loved it! I still catch myself finger writing shorthand on the table or whatever! One class I took was Business Machines, I remember the 100 key adding machine with the lever you had to pull down to enter the number.

Well, this is something! 
Sue Bruhling - Above and Beyond the Live Cam...BREAKING NEWS IN DECORAH!!! We have found HD & HM and their New Nest!! 🙂 Decorah Hatchery Eagles - November 2, 2023
We had been itching to get down to Decorah to try and figure out what the heck was going on with HD/Dude & HM/Missy! So with Benny Bruhling behind the wheel, Tide Bruhling in the Back seat and me shot gun we headed south for Decorah.
After about 3 hours or so we made it to Decorah. We were heading towards the Fish Hatchery and Benny saw an Eagle flying with a long stick, so we started following in the direction he/she was going. We were Lucky enough to see HD or HM fly in and land in a tree. When we put our Binoculars on the area, Low and Behold there it was!! Both Eagles and their New Nest! Pretty Crazy as we had only been in Decorah about one hour! It was a Celebration of a Big Happy Dance and High Fives Galore!! 😉
It was great to find them and their Nest but all so Bittersweet too...  It is out of camera range. So, we wouldn't be able to watch them this year.  Too late to install cameras on the new nest tree. It could spook them and drive them away.
What does this mean for N1 & N2, I don't know. Would another Couple come and take up residency in one of those two Nests? Not sure! There is some distance between the New Nest and N1 and N2
But the million-dollar question is will it be enough...
We wouldn't be able to watch them unless Raptor Resource Project would have a Plan B.  Then there is always the theory that they still might go back to N1! Remember Never say Never in the Eagle World 😉 Time will tell! 🙂For now, we aren't going to Disclose the Location but in time we will.
Have a Great Evening and remember don't let anyone take your Happy away! 🙂
Fly Like an Eagle!

HI EVERYONE

PHYL   Lulu was 5 for 5 last night in her 3 cup treat challenge  LOLOL  I'll use your word "bloodhound"  LOL  You refreshed my memory about the comic in the Bazooka bubble gum   ;)  Enjoyed that cozy autumn porch.   Your Mom was a very special person   I'll have a BLT sondwic please.  Interesting history

EAGLES  Not a real mouse but a small plastic ball with holes -You twist off the mouse head and put treats in.  Lulu knows to bat it around until a treat falls out of the hole - easy peasy..   ;) ;)

CLYNN  Anticipation is half the fun of your kitty viewing  ;)   Sure do wonder why HM  HD moved - Too busy an area?  Bittersweet is right.  The Bruhlings are an amazing pair.  So dedicated.   Well we still have SWFL and the Norths to watch this year.   Thanks for posting.

LANI    " Here comes junior"   ;D ;D ;D    Sweet good night noses

So- you all have left me lots to read/reply to.

I'm always amused when I run across any "touch typing" typers on a computer.  The most typical I know of now in any curriculum is a 6 or 7 week crash course.  Just a light mention of keyboarding technique is done now.  BTW  Yeah - I got speed!

Clynn  I still have a SmithCorona electric in a case! Dried up ink on the ribbon is the biggest issue.  You can rarely find either ink or film ribbons.  But I still use it on rare occasion, and have a friend who has asked to use it, too.  Comes in handy when I want to neatly complete a printed fill-in form.

Phyl  Correction fluid??

It was good when they created lift-off tape for the Selectric.  Later that even became obsolete and part of the machine. 

Clynn  We had quite a few of the same classes - plus the extra immersive classes they put me into.  Took 2 college classes in high school - got college credit for 1.  They also gave me some long days, 7 or 8 periods.  Also went to summer school.  That was fun (lots of guys there as a must, and made some friends (?) helping them out).  Remember too - I got my first degree in 3 yrs 8 months.  Started teaching in February--graduated in June.  What!?  I wanted to teach; you need a degree for CPS (Chgo Public School) position.  Had to work $$$ too.  No grants, loans back then.  I was a driven maniac. 

Next--I took off school for a while.  Some night classes.  But got an Associate in 1990's in Travel.  Ergo, Travel Advisor.  Now I sit on my a$$, drink tea, and watch birds.

Speaking of birds.....Thanks so much to the Bruhlings, the master detectives.  Drat - sneaky of HM/HD.  Maybe we'll have a new pair?  Maybe we already have shoppers/lookers but didn't know it.  Hard to be positive without bands to read.

Love BLT's, still to this day.  Always also taste better in a restaurant.

Lesson learned - ala Bob - eagles love to build nests, just because they're eagles.

Old TV show to mention at this iffy turn of events:  AS THE WORLD TURNS!   ::)

A roll of the dice and a lot of detective work for this season.  It worked when they opened the nest with the scope.  We'll manage.

Good Morning Beakers

I got some good sleep the past two days, so feeling much better. 

tsk - Oh no, Lulu getting your new slippers.   ;D  Cute Thanksgiving morning greeting.  YAY, Lulu!

kb - We still have lots of leaves to come down too.  Jeff raked the front and bagged up, but the back he chopped up with lawnmower.

Phyl - The things we remember from childhood and the good ole days!  Love that pretty good night pic.  Just had a Chick-Fil-A sandwich for lunch, hope that counts for Nat'l Sandwich day.  :)

E4E - Sounds like you and Mom had a nice day together. 

Lani - OMG, here comes Junior!  ;D ;D

clynn - Love the sayings on your morning pics.  Thanks for the SueB post, sure hope that is just a vacation home the Hatchery's are building over there.  ;)

Morning Puff, Lori, tig, karen and all  :)

Still only 57 degrees!  Piper (no name change Lani  lol and no liquid error correction stuff around) said it isn't too  bad out!  bad out!  Very thick hair and almost water repellent.   Interesting report from the Brulings!  Now a waiting game to see what will be!

The rooster pouring coffee is sooo funny to me!  Love it!

Lisa?   See you posted and are better!

(((Rosie)))

Clynn, anxious to see the kitties!  Also, Harleys reaction!  Would hope he will act like Big Daddy and help teach them about important things like shredding toilet paper, etc!

I did not take home x.  Had a semester of typing and hated the error correction process!  My favorite nachine was a Royal!  I did not have a light touch and the selectric was a nightmare for me!  Zzzzz!

I had 2 and 1/2 filled books of s and h green stamps when they suddenly disappeared!  Sears catalog pick up as well!  Oh well, artificial intelligence is bringing back the Beatles!

Lani, nice location for Shannon!

As a young girl, during summers on the farm, south of Nashville., My mother used to sneak out of bed and get a baby pig and bring it back to bed with her!   She said her mother did nit know it!  Her mother told me she did know it!


If you are looking in, Happy Birthday TX Ninja!

Well, this is something! 

Sue Bruhling - Above and Beyond the Live Cam...BREAKING NEWS IN DECORAH!!! We have found HD & HM and their New Nest!! 🙂 Decorah Hatchery Eagles - November 2, 2023
We had been itching to get down to Decorah to try and figure out what the heck was going on with HD/Dude & HM/Missy! So with Benny Bruhling behind the wheel, Tide Bruhling in the Back seat and me shot gun we headed south for Decorah.
After about 3 hours or so we made it to Decorah. We were heading towards the Fish Hatchery and Benny saw an Eagle flying with a long stick, so we started following in the direction he/she was going. We were Lucky enough to see HD or HM fly in and land in a tree. When we put our Binoculars on the area, Low and Behold there it was!! Both Eagles and their New Nest! Pretty Crazy as we had only been in Decorah about one hour! It was a Celebration of a Big Happy Dance and High Fives Galore!! 😉
It was great to find them and their Nest but all so Bittersweet too...  It is out of camera range. So, we wouldn't be able to watch them this year.  Too late to install cameras on the new nest tree. It could spook them and drive them away.
What does this mean for N1 & N2, I don't know. Would another Couple come and take up residency in one of those two Nests? Not sure! There is some distance between the New Nest and N1 and N2
But the million-dollar question is will it be enough...
We wouldn't be able to watch them unless Raptor Resource Project would have a Plan B.  Then there is always the theory that they still might go back to N1! Remember Never say Never in the Eagle World 😉 Time will tell! 🙂For now, we aren't going to Disclose the Location but in time we will.
Have a Great Evening and remember don't let anyone take your Happy away! 🙂
Fly Like an Eagle!

HAPPY FRIDAY, BEAKERS!  :)

Lani, oh thanks! I see you already ordered for me and have my glash of wine waiting.  I'm on my way - I just have to slick back my striped mane real quick!  :D  Friday Happy Hour is going to be fun - we can "zebra watch" while we sip!! ! Yay!  ;D

Tig, ((Rosie))

Lisa, glad you feel better!

Hi Lori!  :)

E4E, you and your mom had a busy day!

TSK, LOL on Lulu and The Slippers!  :D :-*

Phyl, I might break down and get a sandwich when I go out in a bit - it's the day for it!  Love a Lawyer Day?  Not happening.  ;D  When I first moved here 17 years ago, an attorney asked me out on a 1st date to enjoy a Happy Hour glass of wine outdoors at a riverfront restaurant, with a sunset view over the river. He also was big into underwater diving.  I told him my favorite coastal "Lawyer Joke," which went like this: (Q) What do you call a lawyer on the bottom of the ocean?  (A) A good start!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  Surprisingly, he asked me out again!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Puff, I hated typing class. LOL, though I was fairly good at it.  Our typing teacher was an emotional mess, poor thing. She would cry if someone used one of those erasure wheels without sliding the carriage over first... because the erasure bits would gum up "the works," of course. Poor lady... the guys in our class had no mercey, and would do it on purpose!  ::)

Karen, Piper says it feels great out!!  :D :-*

Clynn, oh the Siamese kittens are real newbies!   :) :-* I can't wait to hear what you think after you see them!  Bitty, Bobo, Daphne, Charlie, Missy, Momo (!!), Sandy, Body (pronounced as Boady, not Boddy, LOL), Weezie (Louise)... LOL... just trying out some names as they just pop up.  ;) :D



Remembering, and missing TX_Ninja on his birthday, with many fond memories of "hanging in the rafters" with him in middle-of-the-night in the DE cam chat's PM message board of old.  May he rest in peace.

Post by: Puff on November 03, 2023, 02:31:49 PM

tsk Had the classes at Kelly High School (Archer & California, Brighton Park).
One was American History, other was English 4/Intro English.  Was/I signed into both advanced placement classes; if you passed you were entitled to 3 cr. hrs. at many state schools.  Passed English, didn't qualify for History.  So before I entered CTC I already had credits.  College was Chicago Teachers College; after many changes it's now Illinois State College Chicago.  Now a liberal arts college, almost lakefront but far south of the loop.  When I went it was for teaching.  School run by B. of E.  Teachers/professors were all "actual seasoned former teachers".  All classes were geared toward those who wanted to teach.

Just for the record there's no more speed to my keying anymore.  First, I have a tempermental spacebar, urrrgggh.  Second, the fingers are all "screwed up" because of arthritis.  Double urrrgggh!!

Last tale of the teach.  (An aside first that I just had pop into the brain - I had students who liked to call me teach.  My retort was to asked "What pup?").

Back to the last tale:  The programmer at Kelly came up with a neat system for the guys and girls mostly guys in the 70's - 90's who were in sports programs.  That inevitably meant that during the semester some team members (and I) would have outside class to do to make up.  Different seasons, different jocks.
One of the best, easiest, and probably, funnest classes to teach.  Probably 80% male, the girls and I both enjoyed the challenging attitude of the class.  The competition from the self-motivated guys was fantastic. 
BTW Feather in our caps - one fellow who was both basketball and football came out in first place in typing for a Chgo B of E Competition.  We both did good.

The bad, the sad - - Derrick went on to become Lt. of Housing in Chgo housing buildings.  Some son-of-a-B killed him.   :'(

Tsk, I was thinking the same but I do not understand how an eagle can abandon a home next door to an abundant buffet!   Then there are the strip stores with the occasional road kill close by!   We will know the answer soon! 


Lani, that is one elegant zebra!  Is she waiting for Baz or a  handsome dude in black tie?


A High school friend called the other day to say she was cooking a dish she got off the computer a few yeats ago!  It sounds delicious and perfect for cold weather!  Easy too!   
2 lbs of beef stew meat
I can of cream of mushroom soup
1 souo can of water
1 package of French onion soup mix
1 package of brown gravy mix
Mix all together and put in a covered dish.
Bake at 300 degrees for 3 hours! 
Serve over noodles! I THINK IT COULD BE DONE IN A SLOW COOKER.
I WOULD SAUTE A LITTLE GARLIC AND SOME MUSHROOMS.
She said the meat was melt in your moth tender and tasty!


Puff one of the athlete types in my High School took typing!  Many thought it would be easy!  He became very frustrated and hit the return so hard it came off and sailed toward the windows!  It did stop before breaking glass!  He truly needed an anger management class more than typing

Tsk - Thanks!  I am thinking if HM & HD stay at the vacation home, maybe another pair of geese will take advantage of it?  I think I have seen that recipe before.  I made something similar called No Peek Beef Stew done the same way. 

Baz - Thanks! Love your lawyer joke 😂

Phyl, beautiful Waxwings and Sandhill Cranes.

Clynn, love your morning posts.... Hawaii high schools, at least the one I went to, students were close with their counselors. From 9th to 12th grade you had the same counselor. At the beginning of your Freshman year, the counselor sits down with you and helps guide your plans for the 4 years. I knew I wasn't going to college, we didn't have the money nor was community college available in Hawaii until the late 70's. He helped guide me with choosing the classes that could help me get a job after I graduated. I thought I'd like to be a Secretary or office worker, and the elective classes from 10th to graduation all were chosen with that goal in mind. 3 years typing, 2 Shorthand, 2 Accounting, 2 Bookkeeping, 2 yrs Spanish, etc. I loved English Lit, History... And if I found that I was interested in something else, then we would change a class. I loved my counselor Mr Chung and ended up being one his aides in my Senior year. Our school also had Vocation Tech available for students. In Hawaii during the 60's there was just a small percentage of students who would be able to go on to college. As far as Home Ec. which was required I had one year of that, but I was already doing the cooking and sewing at home. That was enough for me. LOL! ... oh my, thank you for posting SMB's Decorah post and pic of the new Decorah nest for the HM/HD. That's sad, they built another nest. I wonder why  ??? Maybe it wasn't private enough, too busy of an area ....

Tsk, Ditto the Bruhlings as well Robin Brumm are very dedicated. God bless them.

Eagles I hope your mom had a good doctor's appt yesterday. Glad you had a nice day of shopping, lunch and visit with your mom. Today was my late MILs birthday.

Puff, God bless Shorthand teachers.  :-*  My school mates and I exchanged notes written in shorthand. Years later, I continued to write minutes or notes to myself in shorthand.  ;D I remember using the 10 Key adding machine.... my mom and I loved "As The World Turns". One of the first Soap Opera shown in Hawaii... {{{Derrick}}}

Lori, beautiful cake for TX Ninja!

Kb, that's funny about the Hen, Rooster and egg. Pecking on her head... love the dog.

{{{Lisa}}} glad you're feeling better .. No Peek Beef Stew.. I guess that means don't take the lid off.

SED Karen and Piper, love your story about your mother and her pet pig.  ;D .. Thanks for sharing the Beef Stew recipe. I'll make it next week... love your school athletic story. I could see that with a couple of guys in my typing class. LOL!  ;D

Baz, I searched far and wide for junior!  ;D ;D ;D ... The minute I saw the Zebra, I thought "yep, TGIF!"  8) ... your lawyer joke! LOL!

BL, LOL! well now that is one sexy tomato!   8)

Thinking of you TX Ninja!  :)

Good night!

Currently 40F;   High  60F  mostly sunny,  Low 61 F 

Dinner yesterday was  homemade fillet of cod sandwiches with homemade from scratch Tartar sauce (Red Lobster recipe), green salad w/roma tomatoes  topped with HV ranch dressing, seasoned  FFs topped w/ ketchup. No dessert.


CLynn yeah ya wanna make sure the Liquid Paper is dry  ;)   Thanks for Sue 's  report from Decorah and the snap of the new nest. Too bad they felt they hand to build a new nest. So sad.
  My mom was a farm girl,  the oldest  daughter  and  third of 11 children.  I wish I had lots of photos of mom--- most of all, I wish I could go back in time and be her best friend


Lani I was thinking the same on the new nest for HM and  HD---not enough privacy, with all gawkers and such.  Cute doggie noses from  Thursday

E4 glad you and your mom had a nice afternoon and her doctor's appt.--hope all is well

Puff No shorthand for me---but did have the 10 key adding machine  and bookkeeping.  I ended up being an administrative assistant  for an insurance agency w/ a computer on my desk ,the rest is history  ;D ;D

Tsk yesterday's greeting almost looks like a charm bracelet But mimics the  Christmas bells  with those long handles.  Look at Lulu what a 'mouser' finding all
those treats and nabbing them. Yes, indeed we still have SWFL and The Norths as well as Two Harbors and the Sauces nests---I'll always miss Dina. I've watched them all at Sauces and that gal just grabbed my heart! Dina where are you!  :-*

Lori that is an awesome  looking cake for  Tx Ninja. RIP.

Bazi cute lawyer joke---bet that fella heard them all. You think?  Tx Ninja was the first to even chat with me on the eagles. So nice and patient
with a 'greenhorn' like me.

KB I hope those were 'terms of endearment' pecks on her head.  So funny poodle snoozing at the pool side, nods off---wet wake up.

{{{ Tig/Rosie}}}    🙏 's


b]Prayers for: [/b]  Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; My  Alter prayer list
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Several celebrations for Saturday, November 4, 2023

World Numbat Day
Pint-sized critters with adorable stripes — get ready to fall head over heels for these cute little tree-dwelling wonders!

The numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is a small marsupial that was once found across most of Southern Australia. Sadly, since the 1970s, this small animal has been considered endangered. Today, the numbat population is restricted to a few isolated pockets in southwest Western Australia as well as two small reintroduced populations in New South Wales and South Australia.

National Bison Day
National Bison Day seeks to raise awareness for the at-risk status of this majestic creature, the American bison. Because the bison need lots of space to roam and thrive in a habitat of prairies and semiopen grasslands, the settlement of humans on their lands in the middle and western parts of North America has significantly affected their populations in a negative manner.

American bison are now considered to be at-risk and in need of special attention. As far back as 1907, US President Theodore Roosevelt wrote about the misfortune it would be to let this species go extinct.

To celebrate the significance that the bison has played to America and its history, National Bison Day has been officially recognized by the US Senate each year since 2013.

The National Bison Legacy Act was signed into law by US President Barack Obama in May 2016, which happily ended a successful “Vote Bison” campaign to make the bison the national mammal of the United States.

Taking a step back and relying on good ol' logic, like deciphering a puzzle without needing a map or a compass.

Good Morning Beakers!  It's CATURDAY!

Phyl, beautiful 365, wouldn't you love to be the one filming these beautiful scenes!  The Village People! 34 here now, going to 59 today. then 4 straight days in the 60s! Your dinner sounds delish! No desert needed with that one! You have good memories of your Mom...please keep sharing with us... My Mom was a country girl, they didn't really farm, but lived in the country, got their milk from a cow, raised chickens, had a huge garden every year and all that. Grandma had 2 deep freezers full of food she froze, meat they butchered, and shelves of canned garden vegetables and fruits. Potatoes layered in newspaper in a dark cool corner. People were very frugal back then. Mpm was the oldest of 4.  Common Sense Day should be every day!  ;D

BL, listening to the tunes! Thanks!

Lani, the counselor you had in High School, that's how it should be, the same one for all four years! I remember hardly any reaction with the counselors! I went to 3 different High Schools, so that didn't help. But that is when kids need it most in my opinion!  My Mom was a wonderful seamstress, so that was how I got into sewing, and when I was in HS at Edwards County High I had the same Home Ec teacher that Mom had! Mom is only 17.5 years older than me, so not such a stretch. I loved Home Ec, the sewing more than the cooking...  ::)

kb, love that video of the chickens!  Looks like a young chicken tucking the egg in, or maybe a young rooster! Love the peck on the head!

karen, I was thinking the same, why would any raptor abandon N1? Is there something we don't know?

Lisa, glad to hear that you are feeling better!  I agree, goose eggs again in the spring if HM & HD don't come back to N1!

Point to Ponder: The Mighty Mississippi River starts right here
It start as a stream you can wade across.
From here it gets deeper and wider.
It travels over 2500 miles.
From this humble beginning the Mississippi becomes part of the life blood of our nation.
There is a story there, it's not about where or how you start, it's about the journey to what you become.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

KAREN  I have a similar recipe  - Lots of variations on that one.  Crockpot is right.

LISA   I have the same No Peek Beef  LOL

LANi    Thanks for the backround on the Hawaii school system.  Having that guidance counselor all those years was a great plan.  I never had a guidance counselor - School curriculum was set but you could choose 1 elective.

PHYL    Could be a new yoga pose for that ginger kitty  ;) ;)   Village people  LOL    Our PBS just did a two part piece on bison.  Couldn't watch it - Too much death.    300 facial expressions  :o :o

CLYNN  The last cat did not get the memo.  LOL   You had same Home Ec teacher as Mom  ;D    Humble beginnings for the great Mississippi.

karen - I need to put my other glasses on...LOL  I see that was you that talked about the recipe, not tsk.   ::)

E4E - Thanks!

Lani - Yes....don't peek for the full cooking time.   :)  The one I saw you covered it with foil tightly.  The stew meat was very tender when done.

Phyl - Yummy dinner.  Thanks for the 365, and DOTY.

clynn - Anything is better than looking at an empty nest, and the fish.  ;D

Any new or unfamiliar with past history - In forum under Decorah and Decorah North Eagles, then Decorage Lounge is, in reverse order, the movement of our eagles from 2007 (cliffs) to present (cliffs?).  Many moves and some changes of partners.  Very interesting.  I started 2011 with N1, watched actual construction of 3  of the changes, changes for me now 5(?).  Not at all like me - same nest for 52 yrs.  OMG what a big number - let me double check that.  Yep, that's right, I guess I'm just not the eagle type!

Really appreciate Amy or whoever did that compilation.

Eeks!...this suburb is a neighboring suburb of mine, and a commenter posted in my city she has a pack of 3 in her area..
I better spray wolf urine around today as I've been a titch complacent lately.

Yay Chris!...at 1:30 am he couldn't sleep so he replaced my old laptop battery...saved me 199 bucks and he hadn't done it before. Been procrastinating a bit as we got the fixit battery package a few weeks ago. Done in 1/2 hour..I'm now letting it drain and was having to keep it hooked up to my adapters (1 up, 1 down) to run at all times. Yah, Chris. Just followed a you tube video. Then he decided to replace an older phone battery. That took longer. He doesn't need it but could come in handy to have a second phone?. These parts are tinier than tiny ;)

Re: Lawyers:

I know these comments were probably made in jest but reminds me of my father.....hmm, a great lawyer!
My father was a PI lawyer in the 50's, 60's, until he died young at 56 of a heart attack.
A first lieutenant in the army at age 19 having graduated from high school at 16, a great jazz piano player who couldn't read music, an excellent pool player (helped pay for law school) and according to judges a great trial lawyer....needed before no fault happened in MN.

An almost daily exercise in our home was to hear new words from him and have to spell them and use them in context and debates happened all the time in our household. I grew up loving to read World Book Encyclopedias and learned how to play the piano at 6.

A man who pro bono helped many of my brother's friends get out of a jam, so no I don't understand where these lawyer jokes come from and seem way off the charts compared to other professions.

Now, today's lawyers join large business/corporation firms for bigger money, and today's world is different than in "the old days" but if you need a lawyer you sure want one and a good one.

He wasn't a perfect human being as none of us are, and he would be the first to admit it, different than today's lack of self-reflection imho.

I miss him dearly and so thankful for growing up in one of "those guys" homes.

BAZI   Love the lawyer joke  LOLOL  More than 2 dates??

TSK, surprisingly, yes! We dated maybe a little less than a year, if I recall... had some fun times taking out his boat for him to dive for spearfishing, or for us to do some offshore fishing.  We had a yummy fresh grouper dinner at his house after one of his successful  spearfishing dives, and we had a spectacular mackeral dinner after one of our offshore fishing outings. We both caught several! Sometimes we came back in by way of docking at an intracoastal restaurant and getting a bit to eat on their outdoor waterside deck before gassing up the boat and heading back to his club where he kept his boat. So we had some fun times, but not a "love match."  ;) :D

Tsk, I was thinking the same but I do not understand how an eagle can abandon a home next door to an abundant buffet!   Then there are the strip stores with the occasional road kill close by!   We will know the answer soon! 


Lani, that is one elegant zebra!  Is she waiting for Baz or a  handsome dude in black tie?


A High school friend called the other day to say she was cooking a dish she got off the computer a few yeats ago!  It sounds delicious and perfect for cold weather!  Easy too!   
2 lbs of beef stew meat
I can of cream of mushroom soup
1 souo can of water
1 package of French onion soup mix
1 package of brown gravy mix
Mix all together and put in a covered dish.
Bake at 300 degrees for 3 hours! 
Serve over noodles! I THINK IT COULD BE DONE IN A SLOW COOKER.
I WOULD SAUTE A LITTLE GARLIC AND SOME MUSHROOMS.
She said the meat was melt in your moth tender and tasty!


Puff one of the athlete types in my High School took typing!  Many thought it would be easy!  He became very frustrated and hit the return so hard it came off and sailed toward the windows!  It did stop before breaking glass!  He truly needed an anger management class more than typing


Seds

Karen, that dish sounds very yummy and easy. Seems like it would be easy to convert to a slow cooker version. Along with your additions, you could add a bit of Worcestershire and some sour cream at the end and it would be stroganoff!  :)

Lani, LOL, I love it when cats stick one leg under, or through a small space, and then feel around for stuff!!  ... it's so comical to me!!  :D :D  I know you loved your MIL so much. Remembering her birthday.  ((Hugs)).  Hope you have a fun afternoon out with Mike, and watch out for those carts when you turn the corners of those aisles!!  :o :D  Watching my Heels play football now... they need a win today!! I see your KU Jayhawks play later (7p my time, I think I saw).

Clynn, your first Caturday pic today expresses exactly how I felt when I woke up.  :D  Toby, Sissy, Tommy, and Dobie and Zelda!!!  ;D ;D  Okay... I'll stop now.  ;) :D

Karen, TSK, Lisa, Lani, and All Y'all... you're making me hungry for some yummy warm and tender beef stew!!  I also love those wide egg noodles, and haven't had any for eons (they're so expensive now, for noodles - yeah, I know, they have eggs in them... but egg prices are mostly back down!!  someone's making a BIG profit on them!! ) ... So, would you put a scoop of that stew on some noodles for me, please?  :D

Phyl, I wonder if that cat actually sleeps in that room!  Very cute, looks like a tv that's on, maybe a mini tablet or iPad? Just read the article, yes, it's a tablet!  YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE AS A CAT PARENT!  ;D ;D

T40, good videos, love the one of the cat and the ducklings, wow!

karen, Ed plays the piano by ear! He told me his Mom had him take lessons and the piano teacher told her not to waste her $$$ because he played by ear. I guess those people can't be taught correctly! Doctors of Rythm, was it a jazz band?

kb, yes, that looks like a migration!

baz, I'll take all the cat names you can come up with! I just have to make sure they are names Kelsey can say, (there are some sounds she can't say well). Groceries, why aren't the grocery stores bringing their prices down! Seems to me that any time they raise the price on something for whatever reason (freeze, blight, catastrophe or whatever) they NEVER lower them when the crisis is over!  I refuse to pay $5.99 for a bag of Ore-Ida french fries!

Lani, hope you had a successful shopping trip! Did you go to the valley?  Love that cat paw reaching for the candy...

Wonderful Day - Laura Failner is a SkyWest flight attendant. She witnessed this moment of kindness. The world would be a much better place if everyone is like her.
"I love looking for the good in the world! As I flew up to Washington today, I had this cute little 94-year-old lady get on my plane. She was frail and had a hard time getting back to her seat. There was a bit of confusion about where she was supposed to be seated. In first-class, this wonderful gentleman saw her plight and flagged me down. He said, "can you please get her and put her in my seat, and I will take hers." He walked back with me to get her and take her to first class. She was so touched. The woman gave him a big hug and said, "Never in my 94 years has someone done that for me. Thank you, young man." She had tears of gratitude. It was amazing how his thoughtful act changed the attitude of everyone on the flight. May we all look for the little things we can do to help others around us and show kindness. In this crazy world, let's all try to be the good." 🥰🥰🥰

History Three Thousand - The olive tree of Vouves, on Crete. This tree, which has a trunk 15 feet in diameter, is at least 2,000 years old, and likely 2,900 years old, based on the graveyard found nearby. This tree likely lived through the writing of the Iliad, the golden age of Athens, the rise of the Roman Empire, and the birth of Christ and then lived for 2,000 years after that. It still produces olives, as well!

CLynn very nice memories of you mom. I enjoy reading them. Like you, I never needed to take Home Ec. She passed it all down---my girl friends were so angry with me for skipping all that  ;D   My best friend since K, and I parted ways that year esp after I bailed out of Physical Science later that same year---you recall the story.   No doubt I do agree another goose family this spring is a strong possibility.  Tks for info on the Mighty Miss.

Tsk sweet kittens this AM;

Puff tks for the Xtra info on Decorah nests and where to find it all.  A must check out.

{{{KB}}}  coyotes  :(     ;   great sandhills; your dad taught you a lot ---I myself don't approve of jokes about the professions of others,  I've heard insulting ones about my husband's career as a pilot and about my own career as a multi line insurance agent. And, have been equated to those of lawyers i.e. thieves of their
clients money   and such.   >:(

Bazi waving   :)

Lani cat's paw in the candy dish  ;D   A visit to 'Wally World' ...Mike's leaving again...

Karen  :)

T40  The Live Science  cat facial expressions  article I posted this morning -great minds and all that  ;D
Too funny Rxster, so funny chicken/dog; greatest saves  ;)

CLynn I wager Wyatt does sleep in his secret room  from time to time;  luv the 'wonderful day'
Olive trees are awesome and are important  metaphors in The Scriptures

Point to Ponder: The Mighty Mississippi River starts right here
It start as a stream you can wade across.
From here it gets deeper and wider.
It travels over 2500 miles.
From this humble beginning the Mississippi becomes part of the life blood of our nation.
There is a story there, it's not about where or how you start, it's about the journey to what you become.

BL   Cool picture - I'd recognize you anywhere   LOLOL  Same photo tho.  Cool

Well push has finally come to shove.  Tim's A1C was 9.8 ( fasting blood sugar 223) - up again and doc wanted to start Ozempic.  Uggg.  Instead, we are starting on Wednesday, Nutrisystem meals for Tim 5 days a week for a month to start  We get our first box of 2 on Wednesday.( You get the whole month at a time ) and may have to use Barb's freezer til I can clean out mine.  :o Lots to learn about this and hope I get something printed vs trying to read all this stuff on-line and not at fingertips.  I joined their FB group so that should help some.  He took his blood sugar this AM and already without the program and the fear of Ozempic his blood sugar was 159  Lowest in 30 years!!!  Doc is "demanding" he take it daily.  Sure hope this works.

Lani - We did a Walmart run today too. 

Baz - That is a great idea for Karen’s recipe!  I haven’t had beef stroganoff in a long time. 

T40 - Thanks for videos 😊

Karen - Hope you enjoyed your steak dinner. 

Kb - Great pic of the cranes. 

Phyl - Wow, Wyatt has it made!

Clynn - Interesting history of the olive tree, and it still produces olives….amazing!

BL - Is that you the arrow is pointing at?  I thought that was the trunk of the tree! 🙄

Tsk - I hope Tim does well on the Nutrisystem, and can get his A1C down.  I started my insulin in August, and I have noticed my blood sugars have decreased in the morning.  The were in the 150 & 160’s before the insulin, but now in the morning all have been under 125 or less. I take 6 units nightly of Basaglar insulin.  I can’t wait to see what my A1C will be. 

Have a good night, everyone

Tsk!  Good luck to Tim!  I had a friend who orgered meals for weight loss.  They did not have to be refrigerated or frozen.  She had them on the bed in an extra bedroom. shelf stable food.  She liked them. May have been nurti
system!  She had to buy fresh things for salads, etc.  she also continued to cook for her husband!   She was an excellent cook.   Will be anxious to see how this works.

Any new or unfamiliar with past history - In forum under Decorah and Decorah North Eagles, then Decorage Lounge is, in reverse order, the movement of our eagles from 2007 (cliffs) to present (cliffs?).  Many moves and some changes of partners.  Very interesting.  I started 2011 with N1, watched actual construction of 3  of the changes, changes for me now 5(?).  Not at all like me - same nest for 52 yrs.  OMG what a big number - let me double check that.  Yep, that's right, I guess I'm just not the eagle type!

Really appreciate Amy or whoever did that compilation.

Phyl, Beautiful nature vid.... Village People  ;D ... Wyatt is a lucky cat and so is your Maggie. They're both blessed with caring parents.... Milo barfed on my pillow two nights ago 3am.  :( 

Clynn, cute Caturday morning posts...You had the same Home Ec teacher as your mom   :) . our school guidance counselors were involved with all activities, from attending school sports, helped with Homecoming Floats, dances, school events. They/along with the teachers would sit in the school cafeteria. Chat with students, they were part of our school life. There were teachers that didn't involve themselves that much, but majority did.... nice "Points to Ponder" the Mighty Mississippi River.... We shopped in Payson, then drove to Pine for lunch and came home to watch football. Speaking of prices. Shannon bought our turkeys for Thanksgiving/Christmas. $.99 a lb at Fry's in the valley, here in Payson, it's $2.99 a lb.... wonderful story you've shared the exchange of airline seats. What a lovely gesture... I love the story of the olive tree of Vouves.

Tsk, Our curriculum was set too, electives - 1 in Freshman yr, then 2, 3, to Senior year 4 electives. .. We did accomplish a lot before Mike sat down to watch the games. There were some great ones today! {{{Prayers for Tim}}} I pray he does well...

Baz, Wow, Congrats! NC did really well today.... great game between KU and ISU! KU won!

Kb, awesome migration pic. Wonderful life story about your dad.  :)

T40, love Rockstar voiceover! awww cat and ducklings .. bro can speak the language  ;D ... dog takes medicine... good Lord, the greatest saves were heart stopping... the smiley face LOL!

Karen, fun story about your dad. The Doctors of Rhythm was a jazz band?

BL,  awesome strolls you took, and this year you did the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. You can cross that off your list.  ;D

{{{Lisa}}} sending prayers.

Good night! Don't forget to change your clocks. It's time to Fall back an hour.

baz, I'll take all the cat names you can come up with! I just have to make sure they are names Kelsey can say, (there are some sounds she can't say well). Groceries, why aren't the grocery stores bringing their prices down! Seems to me that any time they raise the price on something for whatever reason (freeze, blight, catastrophe or whatever) they NEVER lower them when the crisis is over!  I refuse to pay $5.99 for a bag of Ore-Ida french fries!

...

Clynn, what you said! about some of those totally wacked out grocery prices... ZACKLY!!! What would normally be less expensive items in the freezer section are now exaggeratedly high-priced!  I refuse to purchase them! - it IS the principle!!  And... the reason they are staying up there is because so many people ARE paying it! "What the market will bear." Dumb bunnies.  The grocery store companies are laughing all the way to the bank.  ::) Thank goodness I don't let it bother me.  8) ;D ;D :o  Vote with your pocketbook!! Oh law...  ::)  Moving on...  ;D  I kinda like the name of the cat in Phyl's cat-parent story... Wyatt! Maybe pair with Mattie... Then there's Annie, Sally, Josie, Oliver...  Sneaky, Snookie, Smokey, Prissy, Polly, Snickers!  :D  LOL, I don't know which sounds/sound combos are best to exclude.  I'm just throwing stuff out for the heck of it - you never know when one name will lead to a different one that is just right. And then there is the google cat names result... so many. A friend of mine has a cat named Gumbo. He is totally hilarious! And smart! So there's that... the names that aren't on anyone's list. LOL. I've always leaned towards letting the name come after the cat/dog/bird... so there's time to let it float to the surface from the personality and habits. It's going to be fun having 2 kittens running around, and I can't wait to hear how Harley takes to them.  :D

Phyl, cute storage space remodel for that cat, Wyatt.  Have you started renovations?  ;)  :D  I think Maggie is purringly happy in her wonderful home just the way it is.  :) :-*

Tig, glad your meds helped your knee so you were able to get your pool time in.

Karen, oh gawd... a steak and baked potato!  I haven't had that meal in a long time either.  I bet it was divine!

BL, you did! And with snow frosting!  :D

Lani, it sounds like you and Mike had a good day out and about. I saw your Jayhawks won!

((Tsk)), oh gosh, I hope the plan makes for good results for Tim. Hugs to both of you. Glad Barb has some extra freezer space you can use.  :)

Lisa, yay for your good results!  :)  There's an arrow in BL's linked post's picture?  Help! I can't find an arrow. I might need an arrow to the arrow.  ??? :-[




I have a lot of music background that included years of piano lessons, and also some violin lessons, a smattering of guitar, and a dabble or two of clarinet, and sax (a disaster, LOL) along the way, so sight reading was par for the course for me.  But I couldn't do much in the way of playing by ear. The people I knew who played by ear just blew me away. Left me agog. They had brain connections and synapses just firing away at will that my brain never even considered.

I didn't go for my walk on Thursday or Friday. My bum knee was being a bum. Did its thing where all seems the way it usually is, and then I went to the grocery store, and when I came home I could hardly walk. Out of the blue. Like, major pain, and a big limp.  ??? ::)  I had my cane and ace bandages on standby.  It felt like something was not where it's supposed to be. Geez... I thought the problem might miraculously disappear, the way it so suddenly appeared, but no. Anyway, I caved and took an anti-inflammatory yesterday, and again this morning, which helped. Today, it did seem to get better as the day went along, so i decided to see if I could get in a short walk mid-afternoon, and maybe work out the problem a bit. I think it worked! I was walking fairly well after I started out, so I kept going, and it turned into a 44 minute walk, to my surprise. And my knee is feeling way better! Yay! I haven't taken any more anti-inflammatory meds either. Fingers crossed!  :D



Good night, All. Peace. SED.

Phyl, 41 here now, 65 high today!  Love that old bench with all the pumpkins on it! Great 365, wait til the end! Amazing that they don't run into each other! The whole changing of times, I vote for one permanent, don't care which one! And thanks Amys Blog!

baz, thanks for all the name possibilities! I am writing them all down! I can't wait to have kittens in the house! The only trepidation I have is that the owner wants to leave town on 12/22 to visit family, so we will pick them up on 12/20 or 12/21. And we are planning to leave on 12/22 to go to Mom's. I was hoping we could pick them up after Christmas...they will be 8 weeks old, I would rather it be 10 weeks... Erin said he will keep them at his house while we are gone, I know Bella would love it!  Click on BL's small picture, it will enlarge and you can see the arrow.

Lani, oh no, a barf on your pillow at 3:00 in the morning, YUK! Did he wake you up to the barfing song or did you roll over in it? I still want to go shopping with you in Strawberry and Pine! Got all the clocks changed before Kelsey got up, she wouldn't understand if I did it after since she is waiting and waiting until 9:00 to send all her Good Morning texts.  :o

Puff, yes, we have been through many nest and eagle changes since 2011!  And the cameras get better every year!

Lisa, I vow never to go to Walmart, Sam's, or Costco on the weekend!  ;D I get so aggravated at our Walmart, they have one, maybe two checkouts open, with long lines, and another line waiting to get into the self check-outs.  I guess I would save money if I just ordered everything online and have them deliver it! That way they push the cart around, ring up the items and bring it to my door.  ;D

tsk, I am glad to hear you got the Nutrisystem with the frozen foods for Tim! Kay got the cheaper one with all pantry items and it was not great, I have heard people say that the plan with the frozen meals was very good!  I hope he does well! And now you have to hide all the sweet goodies!

Sydney Sea Eagle Cam - Cathy Cook  · Yesterday at 6:46 AM
How wonderful to see and hear definitely one, but we think both, juvenile WBSE at Newington Armory. Dad and lady spent the day at their river roost on the opposite side of Parramatta River. Over several hours this morning, both parents made a number of circuits over the saltmarsh/casuarina stands/forest area carrying prey. Whilst we didn't physically see SE31 or SE32 eating, parents were certainly attempting to deliver food. Ravens and currawongs provided the main alarm calls for us to follow to help locate the juveniles. Once out from the branches of the trees, the flights we witnessed were strong, confident and so awesome to watch, albeit with full entourage.

Another 3.5 hrs. of yardwerk yesterday. And Camper mowed the front. I'll try to get a couple hours in before the game and then mow the back after (hopefully before the rain). It may be the last warm day here for a bit.?
I've been running through sports games at FF in between... college football, pro hockey, tennis.
As I was about to get up this a.m., I heard yelling from the neighbors. It must have been loud to travel thru the house and upstairs. Sheesh.
HAGD
TSK... I did Medifast for 6 months some years ago and lost 60 pounds. I did not do the meet with the counselor and I managed to purchase as little as possible online and it was all non-refrigerated. Instead of their shakes I purchased Atkins shakes in cases from Amazon.. I still do. They have a high protein version that I drink instead of milk for supper and I use a splash in my coffee instead of less healthy cream and sugar. Unfortunately when they became Livea they removed the option of just buying online... one needs to go in to the office. Just an FYI.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

LISA   Good luck .  :-*

KAREN    Tim doesn't need to lose weight so to get feedback on diabetic issues on their FB page is not as common as it is known mostly as a weight loss program.  And yes, she told me on the phone that about half would be shelf stable.  We shall see...

LANI  Oh NO - I can't imagine a cat barf at 3 AM on my pillow no less.  :-*   Like your clock reminder last night.  :)

BAZI    LOLOL  You are so funny with all those cat name suggestions  ;D ;D   Like how you gave in to the inflammatory for just a bit.  It sure seemed to work.

PHYL   Thanks for Amy's blog.  Unable to read the Nat Geo links  :(

CLYNN   I vote for one time as well - Don't care which.  Timing not good on the kittens but Erin is a dear to keep them.
Last weekend I was stupid enough to go to Target - One thing and lines a mile long even for the self checkout - Put my item back and left!  I have been hiding sweet goodies for a long time  LOLOL

TIG  Thanks for the info...

Watcha looking at? or are you just a good poser?

Happy Sunday and SKOL Vikings now 4/4 against the Falcons also 4/4 but we lost our QB for the season, achilles tendon surgery.

My backyard mower's self propelled cable broke yesterday while mowing...it had been getting harder to push up the hill so think the pulley may have come off too...
Luckily I'm almost done. Have just half a maple tree left.
I may just rake and/or when I bring my upper mower down for storage use it one more time in back. My grass is long! ;)
I have someone who can fix it and he picks it up...late this year or early next spring I asked him.

Chris upgraded my laptop ios...still 3 versions behind but the upgrade is good for now.
While doing so he uploaded, yes wait for it:
15,000 other pics to the cloud I didn't know I had taking up space on my disc and 2,000 videos.

I can't even...should spend some time deleting some this winter. Many are eagle pics of mine.

What's everyone else doing today?

Lani - Hope you & Mike found all that you were shopping for!  Safe travels when he leaves on his next trip.

Karen - Sounds like a great afternoon yesterday for you & Piper!  Your Dad had special talent - so wonderful to learn a little bit about him!

Kb - Beautiful pic of the Sandhill Cranes!

Phyl - Amazing little cat house - more like a luxurious Suite!

Clynn - I bet Ed plays the piano beautifully by ear - he is gifted with such talent!    Good question regarding prices - I too wonder the same. '
           Heartwarming story aboard the Plane.    Amazing Olive tree story!

BL - Like the picture of you at Ol Miss - you haven't changed a bit! ;) ;D

Tsk - Good for Tim and his A1C and good for you in ordering the meals!! 

Baz - You are right on track with what you said about the pricing at the store. ::)    Fun how you throw out name suggestions for Clynn! ;D   Hope your knee keeps feeling better.

Phyl - Thank you for Amy's blog - I read some, but will go back and read again. :)   Liked the migrating birds in 365  :)

Clynn - Good for you in getting your clocks changed very early!  I have changed a couple of them, but we have more to do.  We have antique clocks to be changed today!     

Tig - Busy, busy over there!  Enjoy the games you might watch later  :)

Puff  :)

Lani - Love good night pic...good Harry Potter reference for time change.  :D

baz - BrokenLug has a pic attached to his post.  I saw the red arrow in his pic.  I assumed that arrow was pointing to him. 

Phyl - Haha, Hello Darkness!  Ahh, so you see a tree trunk too, in BL's pic!  I think he forgot to insert himself.  ;D

clynn - The Walmart we went to was kinda busy yesterday.  I rarely get aggravated with people in the store, but these two girls and their carts (one of the girls had two carts) was getting on my last nerve.  Every time I went to move, they were in my way.  ;D  Great pics of the Sydney kids!

tsk - Good luck to Tim, too!  He can do it!

Morning tig, Puff, karen, kb, E4E, and all :D

Lisa, I spent most of my time in Walmart yesterday saying "Excuse me" "oh, sorry" "please may I pass?" "OOPS"  :-\

Eagles, Mike leaves tomorrow for Louisiana and returns Friday. Shannon coming for dinner. She's bringing Mike his yearly gift of Cozy burgers!  ;D ... have a lovely day.  :)

Tsk, it's Hermione Granger's Time Turner necklace from Harry Potter.  ;D ... good luck and prayers for Tim's success.

Clynn,  He was singing the barfing song, I had a sec to jump out of bed before he did the deed. Mike continued to snore...  Sadie jumped off the bed and went to sleep in our closet.... Then Milo ran for the hills. I changed my pillowcase, cleaned my headboard, sprayed Lysol and put the diffuser oil on.  :-\  Then I woke up around 5:30 and started the day.... I'm sure Ed is much better with playing music by ear than Milo's singing  ;D Mike's dad could play the piano and trumpet by ear. He loved to play jazz....  The munchkins will love having the kittens for a few days.... Sea Eaglets are so beautiful, it's great news to see they are doing so well flying about. prayers for their continued success.

Tig, Puff enjoy your day!  :)

Baz, cute names for Kelsey's Kittens.

Phyl Thanks for Amy's blog with beautiful pics, love handsome Mr. North.

Kb, beautiful cat! I need to spend time getting rid of some old pics too... have a good day, go Vikings!

baz, thanks for all the name possibilities! I am writing them all down! I can't wait to have kittens in the house! The only trepidation I have is that the owner wants to leave town on 12/22 to visit family, so we will pick them up on 12/20 or 12/21. And we are planning to leave on 12/22 to go to Mom's. I was hoping we could pick them up after Christmas...they will be 8 weeks old, I would rather it be 10 weeks... Erin said he will keep them at his house while we are gone, I know Bella would love it!  Click on BL's small picture, it will enlarge and you can see the arrow.

...

Clynn, I did. I clicked on BL's attached picture and enlarged it, on my PC. I can't stretch it with my fingers - it's not a touchscreen. I still don't see any arrow.  ??? :(  Well pooh on the kitten pickup situation! How many nights will that mean they will stay at Erin's? What about Harley? Well, I guess the kittens will learn about being around a dog in the house, if there isn't one where they live now... and, I can't remember, don't Erin and Sydney have a cat, too?  It will all work out.  :)

Another 3.5 hrs. of yardwerk yesterday. And Camper mowed the front. I'll try to get a couple hours in before the game and then mow the back after (hopefully before the rain). It may be the last warm day here for a bit.?
I've been running through sports games at FF in between... college football, pro hockey, tennis.
As I was about to get up this a.m., I heard yelling from the neighbors. It must have been loud to travel thru the house and upstairs. Sheesh.
HAGD
TSK... I did Medifast for 6 months some years ago and lost 60 pounds. I did not do the meet with the counselor and I managed to purchase as little as possible online and it was all non-refrigerated. Instead of their shakes I purchased Atkins shakes in cases from Amazon.. I still do. They have a high protein version that I drink instead of milk for supper and I use a splash in my coffee instead of less healthy cream and sugar. Unfortunately when they became Livea they removed the option of just buying online... one needs to go in to the office. Just an FYI.

Tig, that's a lot of yard work! What the heck is FF??  ???

Lisa, yep, I know. I clicked on the link BL put to his old post that has his picture attached to it. Then I clicked on the attached pic to enlarge it.  I have looked at it several times. I just don't see any arrow. That's all. I know the pic is attached. I know how to click and enlarge it. I know how to look for an arrow. I just don't see any arrow.   ??? :-[ :(  I was hoping someone would describe where to look for the arrow and what the arrow actually looks like - handdrawn, or whatever... I wonder what color the arrow is, and if it's above, below, or beside (to the left or the right of) what I think I see that looks like another tree trunk in the background on the far side of the headwaters that BL claims as him.  ;D

BL, I believe you!  :D  Alas, I just can't say I see you (or your arrow) in your picture.  ;) :D :D  Woe is me.  :(

Lani,  :'(  That is such sad news of OGK. I had been hoping for his return.  What a legacy he left, and a beautiful portrait to remember him by. Prayers for his bereaved mate, YRK, with hopes she will find a suitable new mate to continue her legacy.  :-* :-*  May OGK rest in peace, and may his offspring stay strong and successfully continue the species to carry forward his legacy for years to come.  :-* :-*

Lori what a sweet Tuxedo kitten today...there's Cole and Marmalade, too!   Tis' true our kitties and pooches keep the same chow time regardless.
Gotta have an apple fritter.

Lani AM kitty with knitted cap looks skeptical ;  barfing wretch is un mistakeable sound , I've been awaken by such from Maggie but never on my pillow (case). So you use Lysol spray , too.  ;) :)   Sad news from the Royals  :'(   may be the best Albie win  Bird of the Year and Bird of the Century

Baz, the red arrow is in the middle of the picture as it is before enlarging.  It is less than an inch above the water!  The tree line is sloping down  to the left where this occurs. 

Thanks for expressing my feelings about OGK!  As with many of our pairs, this is so sad.  Unfortunately,  much of the wildlife in the world is endangered and or stressed!   It truly saddens me!

Good job on your weight loss Tig!  That is tough to do!

Kb - Gorgeous kitty!  Wow, lots of pictures & vids to look at - and as you mentioned, this will probably be a good project to go thru during the winter and delete the ones you no longer want!   Chris sure is handy with your updates, etc.! ;D

LisaG - I understand about the shoppers with their carts without any regard for folks trying to get around them - happened to me yesterday in Costco.  I should know better than to go on a Saturday!   I am not happy with our Costco, as they are now setting pallets in the aisles, whereas they used to keep the aisles clear and folks could get through pretty easily - not anymore. ::)   I will try to stick to weekday mornings. ;)

Lori - Love your Sunday and Autumn pics & graphics  :)

Lani - Have a wonderful visit and dinner with Shannon coming over!  So nice that she keeps up with supplying Mike with those delicious Cozy burgers!! ;D   Safe travels for Mike to Louisiana.    Awe, so sad about OGK missing. :(

Tsk - Good question re our antique clocks  :)  Hubby changed 6 antique clocks in our house that are currently running every day (including 2 Grandfather clocks).  We have clocks that he doesn't keep running full time; two lovely Cuckoo clocks.   We acquired most from his parents after they passed away in 2020.

Karen, thanks.  :)  I finally found my problem! I was going directly to BL's original post with his pic attached there - it has no red arrow! LOL!  I only, just now! even noticed that BL's post from yesterday had attached that same picture to the bottom of yesterday's post, and that is the one with the red arrow!! and... BL?? LOL!!


My knee was good today! No meds, no limp, and almost no pain. YAY!  I walked 28 minutes. It was another beautiful day.  Blue sky, 77 degrees, and a nice breeze.  :)


Phyl, glad you like using yours, but my orthopaedic surgeon advised me not to use a knee brace for day-to-day use with my knee's situation. Everyone is different, and who knows, maybe that will change over time. But, so far, I don't need one. Fingers crossed!

E4E, that's a lot of time to change! LOL.  ;)  My father was a "timepiece" person - so many clocks and watches. I admit to having an affinity to watches, but I never got the clock bug. And now I don't even wear any of my watches, except on rare occasion.

EAGLES  I agree  Like to get to Costco shortly after they open.  ;)  Interesting about the antique clocks  :)

Phyl, great 365, cool to see all those birds landing gracefully in the water... I read somewhere that the Senate did vote on the time change and it's still in the House. Perfect card for Tim!

tsk, we are supposed to hit 70 today, hope you get it tomorrow!

Lani, sad to hear that OGK didn't return, I hope YRK finds a new mate...thanks for the Alby news, looks like they are keeping pace with the ship in the video! So sweet of Shannon to take care of Mike that way! I try to make sure by Friday morning that I will not need to go to any store on the weekend. Doesn't always work, but mostly. There are some very rude people in this world, and I think they only shop on the weekends! People are much nicer during the week!

E4E, I notices the same thing about Costco when I was there last week! It's starting to get more and more crowded with all the extra merchandise they put out for Christmas. One of the things I like about Sams, they open 2 hours before their regular 10:00 for Plus members. I stopped at Costco because I was in that area already and he was out of Hershey's syrup. Nope, they don't carry it. Mom has a cuckoo clock that she and Dad bought when we lived in Germany. It had quit working, but a few years back she found a place that repaired old clocks. He got it working again but the bird can only say Cuk!

Yay!....it's 51 degrees out here, er um, in November in Minnesota..
Will take Ollie man out for a walk shortly sans coat!

Don't know if I've ever been to a Costco...too far away for me.
Had a Sam's club membership ages ago.
Guess I just always order on Amazon these days with Prime so free delivery...keeps me out of trouble too, as like Targets, you can't get out of there without spending a !00 bucks..see no evil is my motto.

I personally would love to see Standard Daylight time sit for the whole year....I hate it when the sun doesn't rise till almost 8am...now it's back to 7amish.

A gorgeous pic of a Raven....not sure I could tell the difference between it and a crow in the sky or even on the lawn unless very close by.

Happy Days Phyl and Jim and Tim!

Have my day tied up for Centerpoint doing my every other year furnace maintenance...window to arrive is 8-4 but get a 15 minute heads up so if I take my phone with me I'll be able to do most I want to.
My furnace is now over 25 years old, but has had a motor and capacitor replacement and I'm diligent about maintenance.

Got my flag put up on Saturday, so up for just over a week. For both election day and Veteran's Day..nice.

I hate it when the sun doesn't rise till almost 8am...now it's back to 7amish.

Part of the problem with finally doing away with this clock changing shenanigans once & for all is ...

 The Government wants to use Daylight Savings Time year round. (https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/us-permanent-dst.html)

 The Health and Sleep experts say if we're going to do "it" at all it really should be Standard Time year round. (https://www.axios.com/2023/11/02/standard-time-daylight-saving-sleep-benefits)

And on top of that you then have all the personnel & geographic considerations.
What state do you live in (ie latitude), what side of a time zone are you in (ie east or west) and are you a morning person or an evening person
.. and on and on ... 

My 2 cents _ I personally would like to stay on Daylight Savings Time year round.
I like my late afternoon & early evening outdoor activities sunshine.

My sunset today is 4:46 pm instead of 5:46 pm, yuck I don't like that.
On the Winter Solstice (with Standard Time) it sets at 4:30.
On the Summer Solstice (if it was Standard Time) year round my sunset would be 7:30 pm instead of 8:30 pm.
Double yuck.  ;)   

Either way I think after a year or 2 all of our brain and body clocks would adjust to one or the other.
Certainly better than screwing with our brain and body clocks twice a year every year.   ::)

-Edit to add- I'm guessing Lani is chuckling at this thread.   ;)   ;D

Sloth Preschool Updates:

Ken, 2F Sloth: We are still monitoring him, but he is doing great! He is growing fast and staying active.
Elmo, 2F Sloth: He is showing signs of anemia and not gaining appropriate weight. We are providing treatment and monitoring him closely.

NEW ARRIVALS:

Binx, 2F Sloth: Binx arrived to us in surprisingly great shape after being found with her deceased mother. We are carefully monitoring her, but so far she has been very active and has a great appetite.
Frankie, 2F Sloth: Frankie was found as an orphan. Despite being on her own for a few days, she is currently in stable condition. She is maintaining a healthy weight and is relatively active.
Grover, 2F Sloth: Grover is a premature baby who was found abandoned and alone on the ground. He only weighs 380 grams, so he spends most of his time in an incubator, but you might catch an occasional glimpse of him on the porch during feedings.

GRADUATION:

Roo, 2F Sloth: Roo is doing great! Stable and maintaining a healthy weight. Active as always.
Myrtle, 2F Sloth: Myrtle is as spunky as ever! She is active and keeps her caretakers on their toes. She is almost ready for Sloth University!

IN LOVING MEMORY:

Nara, 3F Sloth: Our sweet Nara caught a serious case of pneumonia, and after a few days of being monitored around the clock, she sadly slipped away from us. We are devastated. We know you all love Nara as much as we do, and it breaks our hearts every time we have to share an update like this.

Newbie
Phoenix, 2F Sloth: Phoenix was abandoned by his mother. We suspect he has some vision issues, but more testing needs to be done to determine his level of sight. So far he has been in stable condition, eating well and gaining weight.

Furnace maintenance: Done
Ollie man walk: Done

A few DIY projects well, one attempted but couldn't do it. Using a few more pieces of tin for one small wall of shed not covered. Tried to follow Andrews previous work. Can't push hard enough on the lath screw to get it through the tin and then in the wood...Will have Chris hold the tin and try again tomorrow or tap a nail hole in first?

Dang woodpeckers!..I actually saw it yesterday put holes in the one non-tinned wall...they love the insulation for some reason?

Very windy today so yard is once again covered in leaves...many days ahead however before snowfall to get to it.

Funny DIY one..We have 2 long fluorescent fixtures under two opposing cabinets
With my one stove hood light out for good we attempted to fix the one fluorescent fixture not on as it's near the stove.

Bought a new bulb....turns out after having Chris try the new one both ways (hard to get in) when looking up and bending over...we had the switch turned off on the next wall..!!!!!!

Put back light in, turned the wall switch on and voila!...Now I don't know if the bulb I thought wasn't working, was all along.

Gotta laugh but persistence often works! ;)

Funny DIY one..We have 2 long fluorescent fixtures under two opposing cabinets
With my one stove hood light out for good we attempted to fix the one fluorescent fixture not on as it's near the stove.

Bought a new bulb....turns out after having Chris try the new one both ways (hard to get in) when looking up and bending over...we had the switch turned off on the next wall..!!!!!!

Put back light in, turned the wall switch on and voila!...Now I don't know if the bulb I thought wasn't working, was all along.

Gotta laugh but persistence often works! ;)

kb my older brother worked for some years in the 70's for a TV repair shop.
They made repair visits to costumers homes back then due to the size of the console TV's of the day.

One way he would "fix" many TV's would be to ..
1) Turn on a light switch that was never used .. and viola Johnny Carson was back on again.  :D
2) Find that someone (or critter) had inadvertently unplugged the boob tube.   ;D

Funny thing how the old school tube TV's and the newfangled one's need power to put off their magic.  LOL.

EAGLES   Costco used to have a two hour AM window for seniors during Covid.  I don't think they do that now tho.

I personally would love to see Standard Daylight time sit for the whole year....
I hate it when the sun doesn't rise till almost 8am...now it's back to 7amish.

Part of the problem with finally doing away with this clock changing shenanigans once & for all is ...

 The Government wants to use Daylight Savings Time year round. (https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/us-permanent-dst.html)

 The Health and Sleep experts say if we're going to do "it" at all it really should be Standard Time year round. (https://www.axios.com/2023/11/02/standard-time-daylight-saving-sleep-benefits)

And on top of that you then have all the personnel & geographic considerations.
What state do you live in (ie latitude), what side of a time zone are you in (ie east or west) and are you a morning person or an evening person
.. and on and on ... 

My 2 cents _ I personally would like to stay on Daylight Savings Time year round.
I like my late afternoon & early evening outdoor activities sunshine.

My sunset today is 4:46 pm instead of 5:46 pm, yuck I don't like that.
On the Winter Solstice (with Standard Time) it sets at 4:30.
On the Summer Solstice (if it was Standard Time) year round my sunset would be 7:30 pm instead of 8:30 pm.
Double yuck.  ;)   

Either way I think after a year or 2 all of our brain and body clocks would adjust to one or the other.
Certainly better than screwing with our brain and body clocks twice a year every year.   ::)

-Edit to add- I'm guessing Lani is chuckling at this thread.   ;)   ;D

PUFF   The warmest  I saw in my backyard was 70 today.  I will award you tho the record hi  ;D ;)

TIG  Tim loves Bays brioche English muffins - I will sneak 1/2 of one when he isn't looking - altho now he is eating bupkis!

LISA  Look for those muffins in the refrigerated section.  They are not on the bread shelves!  Just Tim - Tonight he had the most awful - what they call pizza.  A whole wheat 4" round disc.  He spread the sauce, shook the cheese and nuked - It smelled and tasted awful.  Can't wait until we get the freezer food.  He made himself a salad and filled up on that.

Tim just saw all the cards.  Lori, I just noticed the calico in the golf cart - Tim saw first  ;D   He thanks you all for thinking of him.   OLDGUY  Tim saw the peach dessert and said " I wish!!"

Happy Anniversary, Phyl and Jim!  Any special plans for today?
Tsk, pizza needs a little grease to be good!   Lol.  I get some Lean Cuisine sometimes and follow the oven directions rather than the microwave!  The crust tastes better than the damp cardboard that comes out of the microwave!  Are you eating this too?   Hope it gets better! Lol!

Close to 80 today!   Same thru the week and then down to the 70s.

While shopping at Publix a few weeks ago the help stopped to examine a pretty slice of carrot cake and reported in shock that was something like 1400 calories in it!  Not bad if that was all you ate for the day.lol

Got a   C clock in Germany and loved it!  Gave it to a neighbors dil who came here from Germany as a new house would not accommodate it!  Quite large !

OG, really not a bad card night! Your other half must be a good cook!  Love vegetable beef soup!
Prefer Thomas English muffins to the other fancier brands! They have too much to chew!  Lol

Kb - Thank you so much! :-*

BL - Re: Standard time vs Daylight savings time;  I wholeheartedly agree with you in that it messes up our brain & body clocks twice a year - so tired of it! ::)

Tig - Sounds like a good productive day was had - now time to enjoy those sammies for dinner! :)

Kb - I agree; 'get er done'.  I think we are all tired of having to adjust to time changes twice a year. ???

Og - Delicious birthday treat for Tim!

Lani - I thought AZ was on Standard time year round?    Thank you for Sloth updates.    Just read that you have 3 zoom meetings this week - you are a busy girl!!

Lori - you always post such delicious desserts - yumm!! :)

Og - Your card cronies ate delicious last Saturday with your chili and your other half's Veg/beef soup!   Sounds like a good night of cards was had - although you lost 1 pretty big.   You'll get 'em next time!

Bazi - Cute graphics and well wishes for All today!

Tsk, It's wonderful to see the sloths that are able to graduate to a more open environment. God bless them and TRR staff. But, I notice the 3 finger sloths survival rate is very low. Reggie, Robin, Nara,  this makes me sad, and I wonder if they are more endangered than the two-finger sloths.  :'( ... what is bupkis? I looked it up and I get confusing definitions.  ??? ... sending prayers for Tim.

Kb, you and Chris had a busy day.

Oldguy, Chili and Beef/Veg soup perfect dinner for card playing night! 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Thanks for links, poor Lala  :-* ... fun Simon's cat... and of course Maru/Hana.  ;D and I didn't know about Mr Mule Deer. Thanks.... I pray the volcano doesn't erupt.

BL ;D

Tig, Mike likes Bays, we have a package in the freezer, along with my favorite Wolferman's english muffins. I got spoiled having them when we lived in Kansas. Yummy dinner.

Phyl, yes the 3 finger sloths do have a hard time. So far they've all died this year.  :'( ... I hope you and Jim had a lovely day.

SED Puff

Karen, I guess Piper would prefer Standard Time.  ;D I hope your eye doctor appt goes well. And pizza definitely needs a little grease  ;D

Eagles, We may not change our clocks, but now we're on Mountain Standard Time which I prefer. Two hours difference from Eastern Time, 1 from Central. Then when it springs forward, we're on Pacific Time, again we don't change our clocks. And we're 2 hours Central Time 3 hour Eastern Time...  We may change our clocks, but we have to make adjustments too.

Good night!

KAREN  I'm eating regular food and feel bad that Tim has these awful choices.  His night snack is almost 2 carbs!  Don't know when we are to get the box of frozen foods!!  Have lots of questions for the "coach" for my 12:20 phone appt tomorrow!   Lulu also is on DST.  Begs for her 8 PM treat mouse at 7  LOLOL

OLDGUY   " evil lava craters"  Doesn't sound good to me.  :(

LANI   Hope those Zoom meetings are spread out some  ;) ;)   Can't remember where I heard the word bupkis but know it to mean "nothing"  ::)   Somehow that word just popped into my mind  ::) ::)  Gosh I've forgotten about Wolferman's muffins.  Got them as a Xmas gift once.  Hope I don't get their catalog  LOLOL     Hadn't noticed that about the 3 fingered sloths...Hmmm  I just tried to do a bit of googling on that but not finding what I want right now.

PHYL   Short on time now but will check Amy's blog later.   Love the snack -cunningly disguised  :) 365

Lani, I think I would prefer Standard time, which is what we have most of the year! Getting through winter with whatever benefits are had with DST is not worth disrupting everything twice a year, in my opinion. I can't say that I understand how AZ does it, just switching the time zone border. But it is what it is! Sad about the 3F sloths...

oldguy, fascinating video from Iceland, I would be getting out of there!

tsk, I use bupkis many times! Zilch, nada etc! I think Tim will like the frozen dinners much better, that shelf food is mostly yuk.

Well! Got busy doing some chores and come back to find I forgot to hit POST!

tsk, I am going to nr's this morning after my hair trim at 9:30.  I always get her yard waste after she cleans out her patio garden, the city doesn't pick those bags up in apartment complexes. Maybe I will sing Happy Birthday to her!  She told me this was the big 60!  I ordered Wolferman' a few years ago, several to give as gifts. I didn't care much for them, they didn't seem to have the 'chewyness' of a bagel or the little craters that get filled with the melted butter...

Morning again!  Seems to be an Internet issue this morning, so posted what I had.

Phyl - Thank you for Amy's blog and 365.  Such sad news about the chickens. :(

Tsk - So glad Tim is doing so well, but hope he gets something a little bit tastier! ;)

LisaG - Hope all goes smooth with taking Jeff's car in and getting a rental for him.

Clynn - That's so nice of you to go pick up Nr's yard waste and I'm sure she will be so happy to see you!    After reviewing your Crow & Raven info., I know we have the common crow over here!    Enjoy your hair trim appt this morning. :)


Happy Birthday NR!

Happy birthday 🎈🎊 NR!   Enjoy the day and have a healthy year!   Finally washed the hummingbird feeder and put it away until probably March?  Miss those busy little birds!
57 now and headed to 81 today!   Have to buy drinking water today.  I ordered things yesterday but I did not know the  water supply was down to a one day supply!   The help usually alerts me to this but she was distracted last Friday for some reason!
Clynn, nice of you to pick up NRs yard waste. Guess she is busy with her knitting now!
I much prefer daylight savings time!  Love the extra light in tge evenings.   Think I heard this was being discussed.  Senate decided something and sent it to the house?   Sounds backwards but I think that is what I heard!   Enjoy your Day!

Karen, good luck at your appt. 81 is a nice fall temp.

Clynn, cute vulture and birthday post for nr. Nice of you to help nr.

Eagles, thanks, the ease of the Time zone is just what would work best for us.  :)

Lisa, Yes, the Time zones involves Mike's working schedule too. Whether his phone starts ringing at 4am in the summer or 5:30am in the winter. Jeff's car in for a checkup?

Tsk, 2 zoom meetings tomorrow and 1 Friday.

Phyl, {{{Hug a bear day}}}  ;D ... thanks for posting RRP blog re: Dave Kester, looking forward to reading it... beautiful fall colors, sunshine and then eek!! A garter snake! Well, that took care of that peace for me. LOL!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Nr!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/13/5a/ee/135aee245376075b85b04fb2e883e69b.jpg)

clynn - I was wondering where you were, and thought maybe you decided to sleep in.  How nice if you to sing to nr, and go pick up her yard waste. 

E4E - I hope all goes good with his repair too.  They gave me an Explorer for his rental this time.  I got in it and on the panel I could see BRAKE lit up.  I am looking all on the floor board for a brake pedal, and one of those pull up kind in the middle of the two seats...nope do not see anything like that.  Go back inside and tell the guy.  He says, look in the middle for a lil button that has a (P) on it.  Sure enough that was the emergency brake! I felt so dumb!

Lani - Aww, poor 208, and Amelia and cubs are chowing down!  We have noticed a problem with this drivers side headlamp when he remote starts the car.  It won't stay on like the passengers side. And, the light is not coming on in the car when he opens the car in the dark when the car is remotely started.  They said, it could be software that needs to be updated, but if its hardware they will most likely need to order a part.  They say, they should know something by 1:30pm and call Jeff. 

Lori - Hey there  :D

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: tsk34 on November 07, 2023, 12:10:21 PM

LISA  What's wrong with Jeff's car - Just regular service?   You are not dumb at all.  I had to search out mine as well in the instruction manual..Hope it's a simple fix on the headlight +

CLYNN   Just got word his box of frozen food is on its way - YAY.   The 3 snacks a day they provide are higher in sugar than he was using before.  Will ask about that tomorrow.   Thanks for crow and raven.  Saw that before but only remembered size and beak and caw caw  LOL   Wow  an aging Star Trek.    I think Wolfermans was a bit more $$ as well.
Gosh does she just have to pitch all that yard waste in the garbage then?  Nice that you will see her today and all the marvelous projects she creates.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: Lani on November 07, 2023, 12:45:20 PM

Lisa, I hope they can make the repairs without too much fuss or dollars.  :)

Tsk, YAY for Tim! And Wolferman's isn't expensive. I don't buy it but twice a year. Not that I have to explain myself to anyone. LOL!  ;D

Hi Lori, perfect birthday greeting for Nr!  ;D


Royal Albatross ~ Beautiful Courtship Interaction Between Two Albies! Skycalls & Displays ♥ 11.6.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojQ9tOl9mw

Nov 6, 2023
The footage opens up to the far right of the track where the lone albie continues to wait for their mate. H/she has a brief social interaction with another albie and hopefully this will help ease its loneliness with this sweet hello ♥

Then to the left of the track we have one albatross welcoming in an albie with skycalls and displays. The incoming albie is banded but I unfortunately could not read them. The albie has a very distinct tiara on its head and is an active participant in this sweet interaction. Did they meet one another previously? It may be young love as bonded pairs normally don't engage in the courtship displays as we see here. Once they have a mate they tend to just greet with skycalls and get right into preening one another and sitting next to other and of course mating!

These albies may be in the process of forming a bond this season as they both paddled down the hill together! The cam then pans over to the right and we see the lone albie watching their interaction and hoping for their mate to return. Hope springs eternal and may this lone albie feel inspired to reach out and engage in more sweet hellos and skycalls so they will be full of joy again with a partner to love ♥ Thank you for watching!

Everyone sounds busy today! I hope all went well for everyone, and you all have a nice evening. I'm in a dash, and I haven't eaten since breakfast, either!  Can you guess... I'm hungry!  Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to the kitchen I go!  :D

Karen - Just read you put your hummer feeder away!   We are seeing 5 hummers at a time on each feeder - lots of activity here!  They bring us so much joy.  Happy you enjoyed your hummers too!  They are truly a blessing to observe. :-* ;D

Lani - Thanks so much for Katmai Brown Bear cam - beautiful!  So, even when Mike is off work and at home he gets phone calls at very early hours! ::)

LisaG - Cute birthday post for Nr!   Never feel dumb - the folks at the rental place should go out there and go over things with you. Vehicles are different and they should at least go over the important features!!  Hope Jeff is okay with the rental he got.

Tsk - Wow, kind of weird that the snacks Tim is eating is higher in sugar than what he was doing beforehand. :-\   Glad his frozen food is on the way!

Phyl, beautiful 365, soft snow in MN and a cardinal! Love seeing them in my lilac bush in the winter, especially when there is also a blue jay close by. They are like ornaments! 46 here, 59 for the high today. Wow on the eagles in Amy's Blog, relieved to see they were able to free themselves, I was worried!  Yes, hug the cat...

Lani, Mike is like Ed, the clock basically has no meaning...as far as work time. Ed's hours are 10 to 2, but he is never done at 2 and often gets calls and meetings before 10. He just can't say no. Of course, if Mike is on call he can't say no to any call... like a doctor! Thanks for all the good news of the Albys, I also love watching their courtship! It is so cute and they are such gentle birds... And those sweet sounds they make, and then it's like they kiss! Love the dog nose! Great video of Amelia and her cubs feasting on the salmon! Beautiful birthday cake for nr!

E4E, do you get hummers year round? I don't see very many around here, maybe I need to put out more than one feeder next summer! 

tsk, like you, I would think meals for a pre-diabetic would have the lowest amounts of sugar possible, oatmeal with natural sweeteners like fruit! Now you will be checking everything, let them know that when you call! No false advertising allowed!!

baz, glad to hear your knee is behaving! Oh no, late afternoon and you haven't eaten since morning! So what did you eat!  ;D ;D Love the card for nr!

Lori, love the treats for nr, I looked up the recipe for the Caramel Apple Cupcakes and saved it!

Lisa, don't feel bad about the emergency brake, I had to ask Erin to show me how to release it, I could not figure out how! And in what world does a P indicate the emergency brake? When I got the rental car last year (hail damage being repaired) the engine light was on. So I went back in and told the guy, he looked up something on the computer and told me it was just serviced a couple of weeks ago and it was fine, probably a short in the light. Didn't make me feel better...

GOOD MORNING

PHYL   Beautiful 365

CLYNN  Tim has had type 2 diabetes for over 30 years now.   Class room was pretty close to mine  ;)  Great photo of the turtle  :o   Thanks for the anniversary greeting  ;)

OK for me to add off-topic opinions?  Oh, OK.   ;)

Two of my favs at breakfast would include either bagel (egg and/or blueberry) and english muffin.  Muffins I've always liked are Bays sourdough muffins.  So what's the deal with Bays Brioche.  Bought them yesterday, had for breakfast just now.
They're sweet.  Didn't expect that.  And with that let me repeat that I had my pneumonia battle over 10 years ago now.  Along with the pneumonia I had the evil virus.  Virus caused me to lose my smell and taste.  Even nasal surgery didn't help.  Both smell and taste have basically disappeared.  Along with very limited tastes, salty and sweet are my only choices.  By limited tastes I mention fresh carrots, cilantro, root beer, pineapple, and raspberry.  To a fault I use too much of both salt and sugar.  Without one of them there's no saliva to spark anything but dry food.  Bites of whatever basically just clog up the swollowing.  That's why I usually opt for peppermint tea and use sourdough breads when I can.

Back to the brioche - it is heftier, thicker, and sweeter.  No holes, much smoother, crunchier.  I can understand why they're usable even for sandwiches.  Thanks for all the commenting; something different even though there's no new taste.  I did have butter on one side, and blueberry preserve on the other side.

Now back to my second of tea.  Enjoy the day!

Good morning Beakers!
Hi 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, beautiful cardinal amongst the quiet of the first snow... I was glad to see the locked eagles able to part. I loved the reaction of the juvie carefully eyeing the adult eagle that jumped on the log next to it. Very neat video....DOTY, gosh I miss Aly, she would have driven to Starbuck's for a Pumpkin Spice Latte for the two of us.  :-\

Clynn, we have hummers year round. I bring the feeder in on cold nights and set it back out.... love the turtle/dragonfly ... and school room.

Puff, butter/blueberry preserves on muffin! YUM! Enjoy your day  ;D

Lori, yummy Angel Food cake for Tsk/Tim!

tsk - I hope it is a simple fix too, but still waiting to hear.  They told me yesterday they would get back to use by 1:30pm, no call.  I called this morning and no return call, yet. I bet the oatmeal was made with the maple syrup and cane sugar, cause those have a lower glycemic index.  I use a pasta called Dreamfields that has a low glycemic index, and my blood sugar is not as high after eating, if I would have had let's say Barilla pasta products. 

Lani - This should be covered under his warranty, and the least by the extended warranty.  Thanks for the Royal update.

baz - Glad to hear the knee is doing good.

nr - Hope you had a great day celebrating you.

Phyl - Thanks for 365, DOTY, and RRP blog.  Those eagles were something to see. 

clynn - I know right!  (P) means Park to me.  They should have put (EB)!  Oh, engine light being on would have not made me feel better either. 

Hi to tig, Puff, kb, E4E, Lori, karen and all  :)

I finally saw the Bay's English muffins in one grocery store this morning, that I normally do not shop very often.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, tsk & Tim!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


Clynn, yesterday I reheated the leftover half of a cut of pork tenderloin that was stuffed with spinach, and steamed fresh broccoli to go with it, along with a third of a baked sweet potato.  Not exciting, but nutritious, tasty, and filling. Just the basics.


I'm headed out for a walk now.

Take care, All!  :)

BAZI   Thanks for the flowers.  I also have a lovely vase of roses and baby's breath on the kitchen island. ;D

Lani - Didn't realize Mike is on call 24/7 - so when he is home, he is still working! ;)    Loved the vid of the tropical bird - happy & heartwarming story! ;D

Phyl - Beautiful snow & cute cardinals 365.  Started to watch Amy's blog, but quickly turned it off.  I just couldn't watch the struggle of the two BEs.

Clynn - No the hummers are not here year round.  There is a time when they don't seem to be coming around, so I will set only one feeder out during that time, and I make sure the fluid is always fresh. :)     Like the 1950s classroom!

Puff - So, when you had pneumonia over 10 years ago, you did not regain your sense of taste & smell?

LisaG - Hope you guys finally heard from the garage regarding Jeff's car.

Baz - sounds like a good walk this morning!

Tsk - I bet your vase of roses w/baby's breath is so pretty!

Og - Beautiful anniversary greeting for Tsk & Tim!

Hi Kb, Tig, Karen, Lori  :)

I headed out this morning at 7:30 for the 'squeeze'.    After that, did chores around here, went to the grocery store, then wrapped a few Christmas presents.  Oh yeah, and talked with my mom on the phone (we talk every day - only rarely will we miss a day)!   Watered all my potted plants outside.  Weather was nice - high of 68. :)

Beakers have a good evening.

Oldguy, Thanks for the QKids!

Hi Eagles, I just about missed your post. So, I popped back in...  Yes, Mike works full time whether out of town or at home. He called me late again tonight. He'll be catching up with his sleep this weekend. bless him... oh my gosh! You're a good one, already wrapping Christmas presents!  ;D... weather turning cold tomorrow. It'll be 60 highs... cats and pup are huddled in their bed and I'll be joining them soon.

Ralph insulted the last package delivery entity out the screen window this Summer.
We're still working on trying to smooth over that one.

He seems to be on board semi-understanding the gravity of the parroting as far as snacks are concerned.

Apparently the Human/Grey consensus was, I won't call my treat deliverer a very rude name.    :)

E4E  Yep had pneumonia and flu - and oxygen and nasal surgery and meds of all colors as I recall.  Said it would return when meds wore off.  Nope.  Only gave 50% chance of surgery working.  Nope  That only made me prone to severe nose bleeds.  Didn't give the virus a number but I know what all the problems of covid 19 were all about.  I was just earlier to the gate then.

Still eat my banana almost every day, even though it morphed into an icky taste.   :-\   I miss all the smells of Christmas!!!! very much.  I mentioned I can taste cilantro - I dislike (hate) cilantro.

Puget Sound just west of Seattle.

I read just yesterday that Orca pods have been learning new tactics and more boats/yahts have been attacked lately. One yaht was sunk in the Strait of Gibraltar..no humans were hurt.

Boy, I've been in a real battle with the leaves here...this is an unusually late large drop from all over, but thankfully we have just above average temps going forward to work it.

Mowed and blowed in front yesterday....hum, all leaves blown in from the west/northwest of neighbor tree.
Filled two 96 gallon containers plus 2 smaller ones and the wind blew in last night so strong it toppled over one of the 96 gallon tubs...unreal.
Furthermore, my yard is now full again. Not my trees.
Had Andrew out for the third time this season to empty gutters and have never had to do that before.
Lastly, my small engine repair guy can't fix my back yard mower till next spring. Too many snowblowers to fix at the moment. So I had to rake leaves in back yesterday.

Terribly frustrating.
Oh and nobody bothered to maybe stop and tip back up my container (at end of my driveway) including all neighbors who know me.
Oh well. I will take a plastic shovel out there at sun up and fix it. Maybe mow/bag more today although probably smarter to wait till tomorrow when the wind speed drops?

HI EVERYONE

LANI   Cute story - tropical bird.  ;D  Love the jammies on the good night kitties  ;D

EAGLES   LOL  I too have started on " XMAS" by getting the "greats" lists.  Now when I have some time I can shop.  ;) ;)

BL   You and Pip have an African Grey, Ralph???  I love those birds.  What happens to him when you travel?

CLYNN   I thought that cockatoo was going to have a heart attack!  " I searched for my dog"!!  LOL

PHYL  Coffee in the AM and tea in the afternoon  ;)

KB   Orcas are so beautiful.

KB and others - I just got reminded, yesterday was the day of the ash trees.  Just as I said, all at once.  There are some leaves at the bottom of one but so few that they could actually be counted.  But that still leaves the crimson (ha ha play on words).  Past routine is that that tree won't be clear until January.

P

PS Made payment with my lawn guy - Extra this last check, but he will return.  Not to do anymore mowing, but to mow up the rest of the leaves, meaning the ash and the crimson.  Then....see me next year.

BL  Pip  I couldn't really understand much of Ralph rant - but he sure does have an attitude/opinion.  He learned that from who???

My dad trained a parakeet years ago.  Not as big or beautiful as your grays for sure.  Mikie's fav outburst, always loud and clear, was for S O B.

I get the mechanics/advantages of this completely. Using different muscle groups/increasing balance etc. But, I am not sure how much you need to turn your head around to look for obstacles in the road so as not to fall?
Walking on the treadmill backwards has my head spinning as well.

Puff - disliking the taste of cilantro is a genetic thing. For those with a different gene it tastes like soap. For me, I could eat it on almost everything!...Not sure if I understand you correctly that you always disliked the taste or not. But this is why.

I picked up my container quite easily and added what fell out in a pile with my plastic shovel. It was just previously mulched with mower leaves and dry, so anyone could have tipped it upright.
Think I'll wait till wind dies down and these buckets emptied by Waste Management before I start all over again.
Puff- yes my Crimson has been dropping for awhile, but isn't over until often after the snow falls sometime in late Nov. or early Dec. But, for me it mostly drops straight down and is in the middle of my perennial gardens. I would prefer if the leaves for smaller and/or mulched but it is what it is. I do try and blow them when dry from garden to grass to mow up...but, inevitably come spring I have mats of wet leaves in the garden.

Not my pic but I was out back with Ollie at 4am and saw it myself in person...anyone else see it?..it was gorgeous and bright. That's venus with a crescent moon.

For fun a resident asked AI to create our city picture based on frequent happenings/comments on our fb page: For context there are many Target shopping carts left anywhere, loose dogs everywhere, and roundabouts are ubiquitous, as many as 5 in a few blocks on one street...left out: all the loose cats.

unfortunately another loose dogs attacked another leashed one. Two loose rotties bit the leashed one:

Good morning Beakers! I’m sad to read N1 has been abandoned!   Part ogf the charm of Decorah was that nest and the views of the farm, the water, etc!  Of course, the eagles as well! I keep expecting M15 to leave his current location as that tree is looking pretty ratty!

Very foggy mornings in Valdosta as of late!  Am very happy about the weather overall!  Not climate change but our current temps!
I am sure most of you have read the article on this years very strong El Nino!  It is thought that our winter weather patterns will be quite different!  Tge upper midwest will not get much snow for one thing!  Look it up begore you buy new snow boots or book a ski trip!
My landscapers were here yesterday and did a lot!   The roses the old guy planted were not doing well and they were trimmed and fertilized!   Hope this saves them as they were beautiful plants!  They edged the sidewalk with liriope, replaced all the front shrubs with a new kind, Pittosporum.  The old ones, Indian Hawthorn had reached the end of their lifespan!
Not much new here. All is good!

Royal Albatross ~ Albies Returning & Waiting For Their Mates! YWK Is Home & So Is BWK 💕 11.4.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQUbnV9Ppdc

Nov 4, 2023
The albatross continue to come in and wait for their mates or find a new love this season. 💕 It appears that YWK *Yellow White Black) is back home! For those unfamiliar with his history - he is the older brother of our dear OGK and also the Dad of GLY 💕 He and his mate KGY are the parents of the Royalcam chick Moana back in 2016  - so this is exciting news to see him back safely.
Also BWK flies in and walks past the cam.

There is also an albie that continues to wait in this same spot for it's mate hoping for a reunion. It calls out with skycalls as it waits as other albies fly overhead. It is too far away to see any bands but it is not YRK because it does not have a tiara on its head. As we are now in November, this is the time for the pairs to begin posturing and preening one another and ultimately mating and preparing a nest. Hopefully this albie and all the others that are without a mate will find love and have their dreams come true with the laying of a beautiful egg - the light of the future of the colony! Thank you for watching!

tsk - Hmmm, I wonder why the Coach didn't mention that.  Did you find out any helpful info?

baz - This chicken was tired last night. 

oldguy - Thanks for the Q-Kids video.

Lani - Awww, the bird, how adorable!  Love the good night pic.  Thanks for the Royal update.

E4E - We got a call late yesterday evening, when Jeff was already home.  The car needed a software update.  I told them I would be back this morning to return rental and pick up car. 

clynn - LOL, search 20 min for my dog!

Phyl - Love the Thanksgiving figurines.  Thanks for DOTY.  Jeff loves Scrapple.

Puff - Sorry about your loss of smell, especially the Christmas smells.  :(

kb - I must have that gene, cause I think it taste like soap.

Tsk enjoyed the goofy turkey this am

Lani alpaca's coiffure  :o; tks for the Royals / Albies update

Karen HM and HD will still be around---maybe RRP will be able to add a cam to the new nest. There'll be other avian that will consider an abandoned eagle nest as their new 'home'. At any rate we're in for some exciting viewing.

Lori yummy and colorful 'tie dye' birthday cake for Ed.

Bazi You're keeping Ed in chocolate milk... ;)

LISA   As long as blood sugar is not going up he is thrilled.  Told him to do a weekly average as well as that is more realistic.

KAREN   One cannot stop living.  I will only be having 1 person for sure and maybe Tim's son, wife ( undergoing chemo) and grandson coming - I will cook a smaller turkey and he will just need to adjust portion size.  I think it will be OK  I would much rather take a turkey dinner out to his son as not wanting to expose his wife with her doing chemo..Think it will be a last minute decision.

Beakers, I showed Ed all the birthday wishes and he was astounded by all the postings and how they were so him, especially the chocolate milk funnies, baz! He said I was to thank you all very, very much!  And then he fixed himself a big glass of chocolate milk! I fixed a roast with potatoes and corn, one of his favorite meals. We are going to the Cracker Barrel tomorrow for his birthday also, Erin's will join us! Talon had a facetime on the iPhone and he and Bella sang happy birthday to him, that was cute!

tsk, I got my Butterball turkey breast today, I think it's about 3* pounds... We are having Thanksgiving Dinner on the 19th because Sydney's Dad is paying for all his girls (Sydney, Samantha, Skyler and Sayde) and their significant others to go to Florida for Thanksgiving! I will have to find out where they are going to eat! Sorry Tim's DIL is going through chemo, hope she does well...

Puff, well, someone had to say it! If they don't live at the hatchery any more they can's be HD and HM!  Cliff M & D is perfect!

Lori, I love the hippie bus with Harley and Honey! I saved it in my Furkids Pinterest board! That tie dye cake is yummy looking!

Speaking of cats, we got a picture of the litter, we are going to see them on the 15th and pick our two! There are five, one of them must have escaped. It's very hard to get a group of kittens together in one place, unless they are sleeping!  Two of them look like they might be Blue Points. They are all white when they are born, then their points start to color.

Lani, love the look of alpacas, their hair is a mess and you can't even see their eyes!  Thanks for the Alby updates, love will be in the air soon! The courtship is fun to watch!

Lani, I bet you and Shannon are looking forward to Mike coming home this evening! And I bet he is looking so forward to sitting down and relaxing with a couple of Cozy Burgers! And you get your Chinese! Sounds like a great end to the week! Talon and Bella will be going to Florida too, they are excited, this will be their 2nd plane trip! Sydney's Dad had a heart attack earlier this year, I think he wants to make sure he stays close to his girls as they all go on with their lives. The youngest is a Senior this year. I forgot to post a picture Erin sent, Monday was 50's Day for Bella (kind of strange for a kindergarten...)!

Thank you all again for all the wonderful birthday wishes for Ed!

Oh my gosh, I am good at ALL of these things!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

Lulu made sure everything in the box of food was on the checklist  ;) ;)

CLYNN   What a generous man Sydney's dad is.  So he lives in Florida?  Where?  You will have the kids?  (You answered)   I don't know how on earth you are going to pick two kitties - they are so cute.     Roller coaster road  :o   Thought land might be difficult to farm but I guess not  ;)   What a pic of Niagara falls in 1969  :o    Bella is so cute in her 50's - yes agree about kindergarten.    Check everything off for me too on that list of "Things I'm good at"  ;D

EAGLES  Cute gif  ;D

LANI    Good that Aly will spend Thanksgiving with friends  :)   Fun night for your family tonight

PHYL   I'll look up Amy's blog.  Thanks

Tomorrow 11/11/2023 we honor all veterans for there service and sacrifice. Thank you.

Please don't forget what the day is really dedicated to and take a moment to reflect on the truly monumental sacrifices all service men, woman and their families have given to all of us.

It is not just another day for sales on commercial goods !

Quote from: Woodrow Wilson

A year ago today our enemies laid down their arms in accordance with an armistice which rendered them impotent to renew hostilities, and gave to the world an assured opportunity to reconstruct its shattered order and to work out in peace a new and more just set of international relations. The soldiers and people of the European Allies had fought and endured for more than four years to uphold the barrier of civilization against the aggressions of armed force. We ourselves had been in the conflict something more than a year and a half.

With splendid forgetfulness of mere personal concerns, we remodeled our industries, concentrated our financial resources, increased our agricultural output, and assembled a great army, so that at the last our power was a decisive factor in the victory. We were able to bring the vast resources, material and moral, of a great and free people to the assistance of our associates in Europe who had suffered and sacrificed without limit in the cause for which we fought.

Out of this victory there arose new possibilities of political freedom and economic concert. The war showed us the strength of great nations acting together for high purposes, and the victory of arms foretells the enduring conquests which can be made in peace when nations act justly and in furtherance of the common interests of men.

To us in America the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations.

"Winter" by Vivaldi....this you tube vid also describes in words each movement..just lovely and my mood today.

Met the mailman in my driveway as I was mowing/blowing for maybe the 3rd or 4th time this week. Our ferocious winds the last few days blew all the across the street maple leaves into my yard/driveway...The mailman said yes he noticed the oldest gal on the block was the only one cleaning up except for paid services which only come once a week or less....we got a chuckle out of it anyway.
I'm sure I have at least 2 more mows up front and a final one in back yet to go.
The winds need to switch direction for me!..but rarely do they come out of our east. LOL

Don't forget tomorrow it's proclaimed to observe 2 minutes of silence at 1:11...I have it in my calendar for tomorrow.

Miss you Scotty! but of course we will remember your service and your early death because of it. :(

KAREN  One good thing about living in a warmer climate is color all year round.  It was odd when we used to go to Florida while it was winter season up here - they would have the most beautiful impatiens decorating homes.

Thank you to ALL our Veterans who have served.  I know this is a little early in posting, but never to early to say Thank You to All.

Phyl - No prob about the link! :)  The Cranberry brie bowl looks delish!   Phyl, you mention that one of your brothers was born on Veteran's day, so was my Grandma (my Mom's mother).  A very special day for many reasons! :-*

LisaG - Yaay, so glad that they installed the software in Jeff's car and everything is all good & fine!

BL - You said it well - very good - thank you.

Blschue - Oh my gosh - so good to see you!!!!  Thank you for popping in.  Hope you have been doing well.

Kb - I will remember your Scott (already have) for Veteran's day.  I thank him for his service.  Hugs for you sweet Kb. :-*

Tsk - You DQ closes for the winter?!  Nothing over here closes for the season as far as I know!

Lani - Have a fun evening with your hubby & Shannon!! ;D

Bazi - Like your birthday greeting for Pete!   Good for your walk today!

Tsk - Enjoy that frozen yogurt! ;) :)


Today I went to Kohl's to do a little shopping and I couldn't believe how busy the store was!  I'm sure tomorrow and the weekend will be busier!  This being a Friday and I stood in a line at about 12:45 with probably two dozen folks ahead of me!  I didn't mind tho, as I am not in a hurry, but just the fact how busy and popular the store is!!!

I will pop in quickly in the morning and then get busy to head into a nearby town (30 minute drive) for a celebration of life.   I will only stay for a couple of hours at most, as I am pet sitting for our neighbors and want to feed them on schedule.  They are the neighbors that have a huge tortoise, a rabbit, an aquarium of fish, and a dog!

Normally I would have my Mom & sister over here tomorrow, but they will come on Sunday. :) :-*

In the cold north, the original Dairy Queens were a small building with only walk-up windows - about enough room for 4 people inside.  Standard time frame in Iowa was to close in late October and reopen in April.  In the 80s, DQ added sandwiches to the menu and new stores were built with inside seating.  These stores stay open all year.

This article shows photos of old and new style stores...

The first DQ in Iowa City was destroyed by a tornado in 2006 - owners had to get special approval by the city to rebuild the store to look like the old one.  It is a little bigger to make room for the added menu items, but still had no inside seating.  This store site has been used by the Noon Optimist Club to sell X-mas trees from Thanksgiving to Christmas for over 50 years.

I took a blood oath many many moons ago to take in Ralph from his owner of 25 years.

Kenny.  :-*

A Naval Veteran.
I did not take this undertaking lightly.

5 years on Ralph is best friends with the llamas and the llamas him.

The interaction _ It's a riot.  ;D

Clynn, Bella looks so adorable and grownup! Seeing her in front of that door reminds me how small she looked just a few short years ago, waiting for her grandma and standing there with her dog Gunnar. Both looking out the glass door for you.  :-* ... A fun Thanksgiving trip for the kids! ... I'm super good at those things too! I did 1,2,4, & 5 today!  ;D

Phyl, Thanks for RRP blog, a sweet pic of HM/HD huddled together. I wish them well on their new adventure.... don't think me strange, but I do love today's nature video. Winter's coming, time to snuggle indoors and let nature give itself a rest! ... yummy baked cranberry brie bread bowl!

Tsk, Looks like Lulu is good at her job! She is a beauty.... yes, it was my women's ed. organization.. Bylaws discussion  ::) ... I never knew a DQ would shut down for the winter.

Kb, I love listening to the violin, beautiful song.

Oldguy, Terrible situation for the Grindavik residents. I didn't know DQs would close in the winter. Not here or in Kansas.

Baz, We had a nice visit and Mike loves the cozys!  ;D ... You're doing a great job with your walks!

Eagles, your pet sitting with the tortoise again! Happy shopping and safe travels. I have a Celebration of Life to go to on Tuesday.

BL, {{{Ken Mattingly, Frank Borman}}} and {{{Ralph}}}

Phyl, that 365 is MN but it reminds me of IA, windy! 34 now, high 54 today. 66 tomorrow! Yay!  Love those cats, the fabric cats look just like the real one!  You certainly have a lot of Veterans in your family! My first husband served three terms in Viet Nam, so he was probably about the same age as your brothers, he passed away last year , Agent Orange issues. Love your good night picture!

Lani, I am glad to hear that you scored well on the list!  ;D ;D Yes, Bella is growing up! I remember that picture, I love it! We went to Cracker Barrel for Ed's Birthday last night, and then to our house for brownies and ice cream (Ed's favorite)!  Bella found a sheet of tattoos Ed had brought home and of course, Grandma applied the tattoo.  ;D  She said she is learning letters in school, she already knew most of them!  Hope you had a good evening with Shannon and the Cozies! I can smell the onions now!

BL, bless you for taking Ralph in, Kenny is smiling upon you from up above...

oldguy, oh that volcano, I hope Grindavik is spared! I remember when Dairy Queens only served from the window, ice cream and cold drinks. It was always kind of sad when they closed for the winter, and we couldn't hide our excitement when they opened up in late spring!

E4E, now is the time when I add Kohl's on my list of stores to never go to on the weekends or evenings close to Christmas! Also Walmart and Target!  It's nice to be retired and be able to go in the mornings!

Lisa, glad to hear Jeff's computer update was successful! When mine was glitchy earlier this year I had the update. The first day it was all day at the shop (Ford) and the update failed, the second time it updated, but didn't fix the glitchy issue. Turned out is was the whole 'thing' that needed replaced, and just in the nick of time before the extended warranty ended!

tsk, I am picturing you trying to hide your Dairy Queen goodies... ;D ;D ;D

When the vacuum cleaner is running 🤣

GOOD MORNING

KAREN  This is a small DQ with limited seating.  The one on our way to Door county, I remember closing as well.  We have 2 other ice cream shops that also close but the Oberweiss in town is always open.  ;D

EAGLES  It's possible the owners of the DQ leave the area.  I don't know. But when there is a foot of snow on the ground I'm sure the business loses money.  They are actually staying open longer that they used to and opening a week or so earlier these days.  Their little shop on the corner does a gold mine of a business.  I also went to Kohls but 3 cash registers were open ( this is one of the smaller Kohls) and I waited maybe 5 minutes.   I remember when you had that pet sitting job before  LOLOL  Lots of diets to keep track of.

OLDGUY    Thanks for that backround on DQ!!!  Ours added seating only when the small store attached to it went out of business - maybe 5 or 6 years ago now.  Most people take out.

BL   How did you happen to meet Frank Borman??   Yes a big commitment to care for a Grey  So kind of you.

PHYL   You have quite a military family.  Thanks to all of them.

CLYNN   As always thanks for posting the Veteran's collages.   Wow  three terms in Vietnam - heroic.   Bella is a smart little girl.  :)    Agree about store shopping when the doors open.  I'm doing much more on line now except for clothes. One set of "greats" send me the link on Amazon for what they want -  :o    Lulu also runs when the vacuum comes out and watches from a distance

No bounce
Thanx Clynn... And remember Veterans Day

Well. We parked across the street from the concert venue. Things went downhill from there. Following signage and directions from temporary staff led us to LONG unnecessary walking and struggling down several flights of stairs. Our floor seats were hard skinny chairs all zip tied together. When Stevie nicks came out almost everyone on the floor stood. For the 1.5 hr. set!!! And they continued to get drunk. At intermission I had had enough.
The only good experience was with guest service who got a wheelchair for me. After Camper returned from his half hour trek to the restroom, the attendant wheeled me to the other side of the stadium up the elevator and then back to the other side again. Camper struggled to keep up due to his plantar fascia problem. We did stop to get some merch... then continued outside all the way to the corner, which was nice.
While waiting for Camper and during the trek to the elevator I did get to see and hear Billy Joel's first two songs. Sigh.The good news is we were home by 10 p.m. and grabbed a bite and some pain meds. Camper accepted the meds readily. He usually tries to go without.
Sorry for the long post. Lesson learned. We have sat on the floor seats before... James Taylor concert for one... it was fine. I guess I am old. Can't understand paying $$$ to stand.
HAGD all. We be resting.
Oh! It WAS pretty cool to be on the field the Vikings play on... SKOL!!!

Morning all, and Happy Veteran's Day.

Most of our DQ's close for the winter and have as long as I can remember. There are probably a few with indoor seating that don't, but not around here.

Well, Tig - you did give it the 'ol college try!..When people stand down there like forever doesn't it totally block your view as well?

I think the last concert we went to was Bruce Springsteen at excel energy center..Sat up in the tiered rows so not too bad. Melissa Etheridge at St. Kate's was awful..in that young people talked during the songs more than listened, same with James Taylor at the Target Center.
Have grown weary of these kinds of venues ever since.
Take care. I've recently developed plantar fasciitis as well. Did you say Camper had it on both feet?

Looking forward to a warm up starting tomorrow. Ollie and I got in a cold walk just now but it was therefore quiet and uneventful.

KB... just one foot, I think. Yes, I did not see any of Stevie's set. But, that did not bother me.  :o  I would have liked to stay for Billy, but, I figured it would have taken hours to get out after the concert. And yes on the talking, dancing, encroaching on others' space. I saw James at the Guthrie years ago. Very nice venue. Just him. Acoustic. In 2021 w/Jackson Browne at the Excel, we had seats in approx. 4th row. Nice.

This walk up only DQ on Lexington is "ours" !!! Just a few miles away.  https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/minnesota/oldest-operating-iconic-restaurant-state/

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

baz - Great job on the 50 minute walk!

tsk -  I can see your sneaking back up those stairs with your treat!  ;D

E4E - Wow, what a combo of pets you are looking after for neighbor. 

BL - Very nice of you to take that oath to keep Ralph.

Phyl - Thanks for the 365.

clynn - Thanks for the collage.  Thanks, Jeff is glad the software update is done, too.  I remember you talking about your software update.

tig - Big hugs for you both being in pain.  I had plantar fasciitis in both feet, so I can relate to Camper.  I wore the boot, went to PT, and none of that helped.  I ended up getting surgery on both feet a year apart, as it took that long for each foot to heal. 

kb - Oh no, you too with plantar fasciitis!

Lani - Love the soldiers with their cats.

karen, yes, Mom is a trooper! She has been working on a scrapbook and photo album of my Dad's military service, it keeps her busy!

Off topic but really good to know!
This is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault
https://t.co/wYwJOOTby8

It's in Norway built into  a hillside. It safeguards more than 1.2 million seed samples from around the world. It's purpose is to be a backup of every plant on earth with room for millions more.

The mountain mass has permafrost, with a stable temperature of between -3 and -4°C. The seed storage area has an additional cooling system, to bring the seed storing temperature to minus 18°C and ensure that it remains constant. Electricity for the Seed Vault is provided by the public power plant in Longyearbyen. In addition, the Seed Vault is equipped with generators that provide electricity in the case of a power outage.

Very cool!

Yes, Lisa - so sorry you had to resort to surgery....for my age it most likely is due to loss of the fat pad at the heel...For now, I know what to do to ameliorate it a bit, but would resort to cortisone injections first. My age ya know!

TIG   So sorry that was such a bad experience.  Have gone to Bears games over the years and everyone stands for the whole thing.  I was even much younger then.  No thanks.   Hope you can rest up today.   WOW  you have access to the oldest DQ - Cool.

LANI   Such a great story about cats in the military.  Thanks  My favorite photo is the last one.  Awwww

LISA   I had a PT who cured my plantar fasciitis in 6 sessions.  Got to find one who specializes.  This was through Athletico  just a few blocks from me.

CLYNN    That was such a delicious Snickers mini blizzard.  ;) ;)   Gotta pace myself - Maybe another one next week  LOL   What a life your mom has had.  :o    What an eye opener on the nuts - I knew 2!!!    WOW  yellow jackets hole .

P.S. In your 2nd collage of those, do you remember who is the 2nd photo from the left on the top row, next to my father? I know I have seen who it is before, but the name is missing on it, and now I can't remember who it is.

T40    I must say that cat dominos was very cleverly edited.  I loved it.  Very well behaved cats was what we saw.  ;D ;D
What a cool "Now and Then" Beatles video.

CLYNN    LOL  snoring - cute  :)

LISA   That PT was amazing.  When I was in PT school - plantar fasciitis was not even a word we knew.  This gal used this tool on the bottom of my foot like a scraper - It hurt but along with that I had ultrasound and  lots of exercises to do as well.  I tried the most non invasive thing first...Guess I was lucky.

We tackled the leaves this afternoon for about an hour.  Hope he can just get the rest now with his mower when that is repaired.

Good evening Beakers!  I tried to post the following this afternoon following the pictures of the military cats and lost the post!  Will try again.  While serving in RVN, doing morning ward rounds,I met a young man who was on a Stryker frame, face down. I talked to him and got no response!  The nurse said he would not talk to anyone and they did not know why.  Shortly after, I left the ward and saw two young service men walking toward the road with a very small little animal following them!  It looked like a kitten but walked like a dog! I called them and asked what it was and they incorrectly identified it as a baby Ocelot!  I got them to bring it to the ward and put this little kitten under the patient’s face and he immediately began to pet it and play with it!
The young men soon had to leave and took this kitty with them. Following this brief interaction the patient began to talk.  He knew he was a paraplegic and unlike most young men, he knew he would not recover the use of his legs!  His father had suffered a similar war injury and this young man grew up with a clear picture of what his life would be like. I shared his story with his nurse and surgeon!  The power of animals to reach into a persons soul is amazing!   I say this little animal that adopted these young men is not an Ocelot as they do not live in se asia!  What ever, it sure was cute!

Took off early this AM to get to laundromat at opening---had a boat load to wash up.
 Washing machine...
Wednesday unknown to me at the time--for some reason, now washer  doesn't know when to shut the water off  during cycles.   The little chime it's suppose to make when the load is finished didn't go off. ..because it didn't cycle properly . So. ..bad knees and all, I   plodded back upstairs to check--- what a surprise I got !   It flooded my laundry room in almost  2"  of water that wicked  about 2' into the hall carpet. Springing into action... kicked my shoes off and darted in , stretched myself beyond Nature's capability across the machine that was rolling  water down it's front.  And manually shut the water lines off.  Stood there for a millisecond  saying a plethora of curses.  Put the machine into 'Spin' only cycle to drain the drum...Went back down stairs to fetch the Wet/Dry vac and upright Bissell carpet cleaner  bagged the wet/dry vac and with them both in tow plodded back up stairs... made quick work of the clean up. 
Now wasn't that fun?
So with Black Friday sales will be researching a replacement I never planned.


CLynn  Three terms in Nam! Beyond the call I say. It's late, to him 'Thank YOu for your service"  Many thanks for the Veterans' Day Collage.  I should send you a photo of  Dan in Viet Nam---if I ever get around to it. Thanks for all the Veterans Day Caturday;    So sorry about your 'Ex's' passing from Agent Orange.  A lot of  Viet Nam vets are dealing with Agent Orange...this is what took my brother Dan's bones in his legs, ankles and some of his feet...the VA and Uncle Sam removed the bones and gave him  Titanium.  Now the concern is that the cancer might move to his ribcage and then lungs   :(     ; Those cozy burgers... 
Far too funny vacuum cleaner kitties peering over  sofa top

Tsk oh how funny  you sneaking a mini blizzard out of your freezer ;  great V-Day this  AM. I wear a Swarovski flag pin just like that.

KB lovely blue-eyed Silver tabby cat; Nat' Geo mag did a spread on the Svalbard Global Seed Vault online in 2015--very interesting

{{Tig}} you did give that a good old fashion 'try'.  Glad to read someone helped you.
 
Lani enjoyed the "Hero  Cats'/wartime photos. But they always make so sad as I wonder whatever became of those kittens and if anyone cared enough to adopt.

CLynn 'Know Nuts November'   ;D; sweet video of puppy and ducklings snoozing; and thanks to Blschue for her dad's service,

Karen  awesome story with  so many conflicting emotions. I do hope the paraplegic solider got the emotional help he needed and was able to recover and be as happy as possible. And  hope the 'kitten' was properly ID'd and well cared for in the proper environment.

Clynn - Fantastic job on the Veteran's Day collage this morning - very nice and Thank you for putting it together as you have for years now. :-*
           Kittys peeking over the top of the sofa! ;D
           Just read about the scrapbook your Mom is making for your Dad's military service - what a wonderful keepsake that will be!!

Og - Thanks so much for the history and info of DQ!  When I was a teenager, my girlfriends & I used to frequent a local DQ - it was a busy, popular place!

Lani - So nice you all had a great evening with Shannon. :)  Happy Mike has a new stash of Cozy burgers. ;D
         Like your Veterans Day post and love the Soldiers and their Cats - precious pictures.     I do enjoy checking in on my neighbor's pets and feeding them - they are all so sweet!

Phyl - Beautiful remembrance for your family of Veterans.    Oh no, your washing machine :o ::)  Hope you are able to find a new one on sale!

Tsk - I have done some of my shopping on line, but it is still fun to go over to some of the stores and browse around.  Sometimes there are 'in store' specials.    I understand now about some places of businesses closing during the winter season - it makes sense.
       Hope both you & Tim got some rest after tackling the leaves!

Tig - Wish all would have went better for you at the concert.  Thank goodness you guys started heading out when you did.  Hope you've gotten some rest today! :)     SKOL!!

Kb - Nice that there will be a warm up coming for you & Ollie to enjoy your walk. :)

Clynn, Thank you for creating and posting the Beak Family Veteran Collage. It seems to grow every year.  :-* Love the Cozy stories, Mike had shared them with me too.... Miss Bella and her tattoo..  ;D... awww sweet kittens. Cats/Sadie run when I start the vacuum. sending hugs to your mom for service. Her albums will be special for you girls and share memories..... awww sweet Ukraine kitties.. I remember seeing that post "Know Nuts November" somewhere in the past week. Thanks for posting it. I'm going to save it.... I was working out the back near the stream and three yellow jackets bothered me. I'm not sure where their nest is located. I've copied and saved.... sweet cartoon.

Tsk, I've never sat in DQ. We've always picked our treats at the drive up window. Oldguy has helped to make sense why some DQs are open year round. I loved the cat standing for inspection too.  ;D

{{{Tig and Camper}}} I'd love to see Stevie Nicks again. I'm sorry it didn't work out... Sleep well tonight.  :)

Kb, interesting about the vault. I read the thread some call it the "Doomsday" vault.

T40, very well trained cats with the dominoes... Fantastic and Incredible video of the Beatles. Be still my heart... awesome job by Peter Jackson and team!

SED Lisa   :-*

Karen, wonderful story. thank you for all you did too.  :-*

Eagles very handsome son .... you're sweet to help your neighbors. I bet the pets love you too!  :-*

Phyl, the Alps in France are beautiful! So is the quiet Flyway... I would love to have a few minutes on that swing! The leaves are so pretty!  42 here now, high 66 for today. I also worry about all the pets when there is war...that is why it needs to stop. Sorry to hear about your washing machine flooding, I know how messy that is! Hope you can find a good sale!

Lani, what a sweet picture of the soldier and the cat sleeping... Is Mike enjoying his Cozy's?  And how is Shannon doing? I remember when I was going to college, the town had a Dairy Queen Brazier that served burgers. Now they call them Grill & Chill. I think it may have had seating, but we always ordered to go. I worked at the Dairy Del in Albion when in HS and right after. It was like a DQ, it had counter seating in the back. Early 70's.

karen, beautiful story of the wounded soldier in Viet Nam... I can tell that you truly cared about the wounded that you served, so thank you for your service too!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO YOU ALL

PHYL   Oh how awful.  How old was your washing machine?  You certainly had the presence of mind to turn the water main off.   (((PHYL)))   That sleeping kitty last night was so cute.  Definitely a REM sleep  LOL   Tamaracks shedding  - not a real fir tree I guess.   Eerie flyway  :o

LISA   Is that your backyard tree?

CLYNN   Lots of leaves in your backyard as well.   When you worked at the Dairy Del did you get free ice cream?  LOL
I played with paper dolls.  Loved them.  Wish I had a play list of all those 60 yr old songs  LOL

Lani - have an enjoyable day with Mike and wish him a Happy Birthday for me.

Lisa - are you intentionally not fixing those slats in your fence?..

I know I have a rabbit eaten hole in a part of the skirting off my deck...after filling it in once, it only created a new one so I leave it as is.

this year I'm putting chicken wire fencing around lots of things including areas in my chain link fence gate open enough for them to crawl under....we shall see if I can keep them at bay this winter at least better than in year's past.

Watching the game at noon....will be a test to see if they speak English since the last time local Fox news broadcast from Minneapolis when Spanish was my only option..if happens again, I will be taking all 3 tv comcast boxes to be replaced tomorrow!

TIG   You put ranch dressing on your pizza?

KB   We were told all our Comcast boxes needed to be replaced due to technology.  Now we have voice command and you can watch something you've recorded on one TV played on another TV in the house.  Little more complicated to pre record programs but you get used to it.

LORI  A perfect card for Mike!!!

tsk - hmm, we've had voice command like forever.
We also have plenty of Spanish only channels. This issue is local to fox broadcasting of Vikings games when they play here in Minneapolis. It's like they hit the Spanish only broadcasting button by mistake. It was that way on all 3 of my tv's each with their own box. Fox hasn't broadcast a local Viking's game since so today will be the test.
Not even sure new boxes is the answer but they change things up so often it couldn't hurt us.

Yep, TSK. Tomato sauce of any kind is not my favorite. And I need to be a little careful with spicy food especially if I have had caffeine or chocolate. So, I usually opt for a white sauce of some kind on pizza. Sometimes it means Alfredo, other times garlic and/or oil, etc.

Thank you Tsk, Clynn, Lisa, Tig, Kb, for birthday greetings for Mike.  :-*
He loved your cards!

Kb, Tig I haven't started using the voice command on our Optima boxes. I find it confusing and Mike certainly won't use it. I have to readjust the boxes after Mike gets frustrated when a channel won't change or tv won't go on.  :-\

Lori! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!   ;D

Tig, yummy pizza! SKOL! Love posting that even though I'm not a viking!  ;D

Clynn, Mike loves the cozys! Goes great with watching football and basketball games! When Mike was 14 he worked at his uncle's dairy bar/cafeteria in Salina, until he was 16 then he worked for his father/grandfather's asphalt company. He loved working the soda fountain! I bet you have fun memories at Dairy Del... Love the 4 youngsters!  8) ... Great songs! The only one I don't remember  is Marvin Gaye's Can I get a witness. I'm surprised, I know all his songs. But that one, never heard of it.

Lisa, We had a nice time with Shannon. Mike had cozy burgers for dinner Fri & Sat night. Looks like you have quite a bit to rake.

BL   How did you happen to meet Frank Borman??   Yes a big commitment to care for a Grey  So kind of you.

tsk I met Ken Mattingly by pure luck on a public tour down at Cape Canaveral back when I was a kid.
We where walking down a corridor and the tour guide said well look who we have here .. Mr. Ken Mattingly .. he was very gracious , stopped, chatted and glad handed every one in the group.  8)

My Dad's oldest brother - my Uncle Jack was a top muckety muck with IBM (I've Been Moved) and he knew Frank Borman when he was the CEO of Eastern Airlines.
I met him at one of my Uncle's soirees at his mansion in CT.

He also was a very down to earth guy considering he had been off of the earth.  ;)
He took all of us teenage 'gearhead' boys outside to check out his Camaro & it's engine.
Considering he had a masters degree in aeronautical engineering he was quite proud of that Camaro engine.   ;D

Quote from: Wikipedia

Borman disliked aspects of American corporate culture, such as plush offices, luxury Cadillac and Mercedes company cars and a Lockheed JetStar corporate jet for executives, while firing or furloughing employees. After Borman became Eastern's CEO, he saved the company $9 million annually in salaries by firing 81 middle managers and 31 vice presidents. He drove to work in a second-hand Chevrolet Camaro with an engine he rebuilt himself. He sold the JetStar, and, as at North American, banned drinking on company time, which he considered also included lunchtime. The end of the three-martini lunch came as a shock to many executives.

low temp this morning was 52 - high will be 73 today / next week we will have changes in our area!  Maybe some showers!

Lani - Your 'nite' photo is precious. :-*   Thank you for your kind words - you are always so kind.

Phyl - I almost posted that same picture (with the swing) this morning! ;)   Beautiful scenery in 365 today.   Liked MS River Flyway - sure can see the change in time of season!

LisaG - Is that tree in your yard?  Pretty tree, but lots of fallen leaves!  :)   Yes, mom & sis are coming over later. :)   Okay, just read that is your tree! :)

Clynn - Like your backyard!  You too, have lots of fallen leaves - tis the season. ;D    Like the paper dolls - I played with those way back when!  My mom had a friend that would give me a gift of paper dolls for Christmas!      Every song on that list is great!!!     Love the birthday greeting for Mike with cozy burgers!!

Tsk - Cute little turkey gif this morning.

Puff - We enjoy listening to 60's & 70's quite often over here - love the music.  We have 'Alexa' play it on the sirius channel for us. 8)

Tig - Pizza last night at your house sounded so yummy!!!   SKOL!!

Kb - Good idea with the chicken wire - that should prevent those animals from entering!   SKOL!

Lori - Perfect birthday greeting for Mike - you always do something special!! :)

Beakers have a nice Sunday!!


Happy Birthday Mike! sorry these aren't cozy burgers tho!

I had a friend who was a fan of Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches, as many of us from the neighborhood were.!  His kids sent him a supply of these for his birthday!   Perfect present!

Bl, sounds like you had a pretty privileged childhood full of great memories and life lessons!   Good for you!

Lisa Yeah I read the same on solar cam and  the power conservation, too.  Highlights on same time. Some of the South African cams do the same---they just have more daylight .  :)   I believe you did say that 'hole' in your fence was' a Pepe passage'. Too funny.

CLynn so envy you your level backyard. Great play list...like y'all have heard them and loved them all. Great music just makes ya wanna get up and
d-a-n-c-e !! Bring on the 'earworms'.  ;D    Thanks  commiserating on the flooding. Always enjoy your AMs.  As long as the humanrace is the way it 'is'. Always gonna be war and rumors thereof.  :'( :'( >:( :'( :'(   

Tsk thanks  for commiserating on the washer flooding and all.  Itn't that the cutest sleeping kitten--just laid there and was putty in her fingertips. I had to share it.

Puff my parents had LPs and 45s from the 1950s/1960s  Aftger Dad passed she sold them to a collector and later regretted that one.

KB  I know some wildlife intrusions one can't fight and win. After all this was their's first. IMHO 

Lori prefect B/D greetings for Lani's Mike.

Lani glad y'all had a nice time together---always wonderful when families can get together. Oh how funny ... 'Nun cow' ! I really needed some laughs.


BL thank you for your post on Mattingly and your bro.

I made pizza last night---homemade (no scratch crust though) loads of mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top w/ sliced pepperoni, blk olives and mushrooms on thin crust. Drizzled olive oil on top; baked 10 mins and broiled top for 1 min. WE at it all.  ;D  I often make a Spinach Alfredo pizza, again w/ sliced blk olives. ;)

I played with paper dolls, too.

WE have Xfinity voice command, about 4 yrs now. I love it. Jim  does well with it.
 I have to find out how the Cozies are made and try them---just once.

Well wanted to dash this off as we getting ready to putt-putt to Lowe's and Home Depot in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

But... before I fly...

kb - I had to giggle at your Spanish TV post.  We were watching Twilight the other night, and I hit something on the remote and the next thing ya know....they were all talking in Spanish. Good luck to you and tig's team!

Lani - We are gonna leave a nice pile of leaves along the fence for the squirrels or any other wildlife that may need it, and Jeff is going to mow over the rest.  He said, that is too much to rake.  :D

Bl, sounds like you had a pretty privileged childhood full of great memories and life lessons!   Good for you!

Karen fortunate yes privileged not really.
Great memories and lots of life lessons learned for sure.   :)

I actually had a very middle class upbringing. My Mom was a children's librarian at our local town library and my Dad worked for NJ Bell after his tour in the Navy and attending Trenton State University.
He had the rug pulled out from under him when 'they' broke up Bell Telephone. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System) Some lean years were had after that, but we never wanted for anything and we adjusted to more inexpensive entertainment like the great outdoors.   :)
My dad was shocked because at the time working for NJ Bell was thought to be a start on the ground floor work your way up until you retire kind of job.
He was crushed financially (and emotionally I suppose) because he had all his eggs in the AT&T stock basket.
My Grandfather, his father, worked his whole career at Bell Laboratories in NJ and my dad figured the same would hold true for him.
Move forward, improvise, overcome, adapt.  ;)
-Side- My Pappy knew and worked with the inventors of the transistor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Labs#1940s) which arguably was one of the most important leaps in electronic technology of the 20th century.   8) 

Now my Uncles kids (my 8 cousins) had a very privileged childhood. They lived all over the world, about every 3 years they moved to some very posh digs somewhere on the planet. That's why we called it I've Been Moved. lol. They lived very comfortably indeed and never let me & my 2 brothers forget it.  ::)

Bl, Pappy helped us all!   Thanks!   I hope the 8 cousins are doing half as well as you!

Paper dolls were fun!   😍🫢. I played with them under the dining room table!  Each chair was a house!

Lisa, a new fence will not keep all wild life out of the yard!  Many of your visitors can climb!  I have rabbits in my front yard living under some large, thick azaleas. I have not seen them but my neighbors have! I could not bring myself to harm the Easter Bunny!

The neighbors across the side street hired a firm to put up their outdoor Christmas decor!  It is very extensive and lovely!  Puts my house to shame as I do not put out any lights except for a small tree at the front door!   Back in the day I had lighted reindeer, large lit balls in the trees, etc but not now!

Hope allhave a good night.  Seds

BL like Tsk, 'Thank you for a 'glimpse' into  your life and all.  Here ya on y our dad's 'stock situation'. So sorry.  Many thanks to your dad for the transistor
radios I and my brothers have had the pleasure of owning/using.

Lisa there is  'nothing fun' about this 'sort of' shopping.



Hi Karen have been thinking of you. Just overly occupied  and such.  Answering  your question, bought the same washer mfg. / model and of course in white.  Saved over $300 with Black Friday and other discounts to
Delivery time in a phone call on Tuesday night...etc.  :o

Had a chat with the Lowe's fella on the floor and he agreed it was the 'mother board' and the wires between the tub/drum had gotten soaked with the over flow. Evidently I did all the 'right things'.  :)
 
My other concern is how to keep my house 'dry' when they roll it down the stairway. Hope they will accommodate me with putting some flood pads on the dolly and they, as much as possible set the appliance on top of that...so sick of water. 
Still dealing with water draining from inside the washer. between the 'tub' /drum and the inner appliance walls. When we got home Jim lifted the machine and I  sopped the water up from  of the drain/spill pan repeated this several times. It's still dripping. Will check before turning  tonight and again in the morning...go from there.

 SEDs to you and Piper.

Phyl - Awe, so sorry your mom regretted selling the records to a collector. :(   The main thing is, that she saved and held onto other things that were important to her.    You made a homemade pizza last night too- bet it was so good!!

Kb - I know you will find a way - we did too with chicken wire.  We spent $ to put lattice on top of our 7ft back yard fence, then we put chicken wire on top of that!  No more wild animals crossing through our back yard and no more peeing & defecating to contend with.  It was quite a bit in cost, but it was worth it.   Our problem was with animals coming over the fence, but I realize yours is with them coming under the fence!

LisaG - Jeff is right to mow over the leaves - easiest way to get rid of many leaves!

BL - Your dad was a hard working man for his family - thank you for telling some of his story.  Would love to hear more of his work with the transistor! :)

Tsk - I received  a transistor radio for Christmas when I was 12 years old.  I was so happy and felt that was the best gift I ever received other than the Schwin bicycle I received for Christmas when I was 7!! 

Lani - Hope Mike had a nice birthday! ;D

BL, thank you for sharing the story of Frank, Ken and your family. You've had a very interesting life, memorable people, interesting travels and many special memories. I loved my transistor radio, I thank your pappy and friends!  ;D

Eagles, It's always burger time for Mike! Give him a burger, chips or fries and a Miller Lite with spicy tomato juice in a salt rimmed mug and "alls well with the world!"  Mike calls his beer "a poor man's bloody mary."  ;D .. He thanks you for his card  ;D

Tsk, "Sister Bossy"  ;D ... Mike won't use the microphone. I use the one on my iPhone everyday. I haven't tried the tv.

Kb, All's well with sharp -eyed Ollie man on the job!

SED Phyl

Lisa, it's good to leave some of the leaves for the critters and mulching. Mowing is the best and helps with mulching.  I was raking a few days ago, a squirrel was sitting high on a pine watching me. I guess I was raking over an area where it planted its winter food. After I moved on it ran over to the raked spot and dug up its nut and moved it to another spot.  ;D

Karen, how does Piper like the neighbors Christmas lights?  ;D

Oldguy, I hope you had a good night of cards!  ;D

Days of the Year:

World Orphans Day
Take care of parentless children by raising awareness of their plight, organizing a fundraiser or sponsoring a child on World Orphans Day.

World Kindness Day
Share random acts of compassion on World Kindness Day by helping strangers, giving back to the community or teaching your children the value of niceness.

  I remember a couple of years ago we were driving in Nashville, it was pouring rain. I noticed a younger woman on foot with a bag of groceries. She had to been to Kroger  5 blocks away. She was soaked to the skin from head to toe.  I told Jim to move to the right hand lane a few feet ahead of her. I pushed the button to roll my window down and took the newest umbrella  I had which I had purchased as an extra 'just in case'. I called out to her, "Here this is yours. Take it!" She that she couldn't take my umbrella. I told her she could and should take it...a gift. And, that now she had one for whatever rainy day  that would come her way.  She thanked me and held it over her head. I have yet to see another more beautiful  happy face smiling back at me.  Jim asked how I felt. I said never more delighted to give something away.   ;)

Hi Everyone

KAREN   I also cut back on exterior Xmas decoration.  I have enough to do to get the inside done and each year I say I'm not doing as much but that never happens.  It just takes me longer.  And now this year Thanksgiving comes early so more time to decorate.  ::)

PHYL  Ouch that you are still dealing with the water.   Why do I think about sandbagging.....Only a couple days to wait for new washer.  Thanks for Robin's report.  She is such a wonderful contributor to RRP along with the Bruhlings.   Kindness - the key to a peaceful life.

BL   Sounds like your extended family might be soap opera material  LOL

LANI   Cute story about the squirrel.  About a third of our leaves are raked into the gardens for hiding places.  :D  Sweet good night pic.  God's creatures sleep.  :)

Well since the sunrise is pretty solid now in the SE,  I can truly see how filthy my front windows ( office) are  LOL  Guess what 1 project is today   ::)

Wow, something woke me up a little after 7:00! I haven't slept this late for a LONG time! It will be a beautiful day today, 65 and plentiful sunshine! I plan to get the outside of the windows cleaned today. This week looks good through Thursday, maybe I can get a coat of stain on the new deck pieces...

Lisa, see you later!

tsk, I know how you feel about the Christmas decorations, I have cut back some but it's still a lot of work! Isn't it amazing how the windows look when the sun is hitting them! That's exactly why I want to get them done today!

Phyl, there's the cute little squirrel raking leaves!  I really feel for you and the water, that is one of the worst home catastrophes. Been there a few times. Glad to hear you found a new machine and at a good price! Thanks for Amy's Blog, Robin is so dedicated to the Decorah eagles and her pictures are always good! Another peaceful 365, I would love to have that view... Love your story of the girl in the rain...

Lani, sounds like Mike had a good day for his birthday! I like to cover my hostas with leaves, like a blanket for the winter. Love the squirrel story, they are so fun to watch! Wonderfully sweet good night picture...

E4E, I also got a transistor radio for Christmas when I was 12! It was so cool to be able to hear the Beatles outside on the patio!  And I also got a bicycle when I was 7, we were living in England at the time and Dad had me close my eyes. I opened them to see my new beautiful bike! My sister Cathy started to cry, then he brought one out for her! We did everything together and our adventures took on a new thrill when we got those bikes!

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update, and for your story from last night about the squirrel watching you rake leaves, so sweet! 

clynn - Very interesting about the trees. 

E4E - Thank you.

tsk - Be careful cleaning those windows today. 

Phyl - Cute squirrel raking leaves pic.  What a great act of kindness in giving your umbrella to the woman.

karen - I think that is one reason we are in no rush to fork out the money for a new fence.  :D

kb - Good for Ollie alerting you!  Bandit will alert me if someone is at the front door.  I usually keep wooden door open so he can look out storm door, and since I am usually in the computer room and he will come in and meow till I get up.

tsk - I do know what you mean about the different sun angle illuminating dirt/dust one otherwise can't see!. I've been able to therefore spend time deep cleaning my stove/oven, a side hutch, a coffee maker etc.
I've developed routines/patterns now that coincide with the sun angle in terms of deep cleaning inside over the last 24 years. I have an Eastern/southerly sun angle in my kitchen.

Lisa - that's so funny Bandit does such dog like behavior alerting you!..Ollie man is like no other dog I've ever met. As I've mentioned he's acutely aware of any changes in our environment including changes in neighbor's yards..A coffee maker 3 inches closer to the edge of a counter for example will cause him to bark.
He's not an obsessive barker either, so when he does I pay attention!

Lani - remind me again about the historic egg loss? Was it flies or some insect/parasite?

Clynn - I do love the fabric corn on the cobs..they would be fun to own imo.

Have taken our morning walk and it's quite warm in the mid 40's..I guess I over dressed. Again, quiet and unremarkable except for my visual of a white/grey like raptor perched on top of a neighbor's very tall pine tree. I saw it take off and definitely large wings with a raptor like movement pattern. I will have to research it.

Ordered Scott's wreath for Wreaths Across America this morning and found out my fave restaurant is not open for pick up on Thanksgiving. :( :( Chris and I decided to pick up restaurant food this year rather than the traditional meal at home. Darn it. I will now have to cook something. Not sure what yet.

My best guess at the type of hawk I saw on my walk was either a Northern Goshawk or Northern Harrier.

I usually see Eagles, red tails and coopers hawks, and an occasional peregrine and osprey...also owls

First time for me I think.

Oldguy, good to know!  ;D

Clynn, love your story of your bike, Cathy and your adventures together.... Amazing World Heritage Species story, the photo brings it's history together to life. Very cool.   

Eagles, Clamato sounds like something I would have... though I do not like beer.

Lisa, safe travels  :)

Tsk, I need to do my windows too.  :(

BL, Interesting about Jeff Daniels being a musician/songwriter. Thanks for sharing the video of Jeff and brother.

Phyl, thanks for Robin's blog. It's a joyful feeling to see pics of Decorah Mom and DM2. She looks so well and the nest looks fantastic. I enjoyed reading Robin's diary of her day with them. Looks like The Hs have their nest safely tucked away in the trees. They definitely wanted privacy and peace.... peaceful nature vid.

OLDGUY   So I'm going to ask why don't you have the Nylock jam nut?  :o 8) ::) ???

A jam nut is used for the purpose of 'locking' the hex nut to the bolt by applying force to the hex nut against the threads.  A nylock achieves the same result by the tight fit of the nylon insert.  If the nut is tighten to the proper torque, the nylock feature is not needed.  This leaves the nylock jam nut's only value is when the space for a nut is restricted and a normal nut will not fit.  If product is properly designed, that never occurs... ;)

Eagles, Piper really cant see the decorated house!  It is across the side street from me!  Visible from my bedroom and the screen porch and patio!  All she would see are lights as opposed to the blow ups on the yard!
Wish all Seds!

Kb - Sorry your favorite restaurant will be closed on Thanksgiving day.  I would love to se a Northern Harrier.  I think they are so cool looking. 

Lani - Very interesting looking bird.  Aww, Binx is cute. 

Oldguy - Love the song choice by Q-kids! 

Good night, everyone  :)

Clynn - Good for you in the sleep you had!! :)  How did the window cleaning go?  Probably a lot of work  ;)    That is such a coincidence that you & I both received a bicycle and then a transistor radio at the same age!!  Our parents must have been on the same page! ;D    Interesting tree picture.  I have heard of grafting, but never seen a picture like this one!

Og - You explained about the store not stocking the Nylock jam nut and I showed it all to my hubby who has been a mechanic all of his life and he completely acknowledged what you said.  He went on to explain it all to me, and now I understand about all the nuts in the 'Know Nuts November' that Clynn had posted! ;D    Just read that cards didn't go so well last Saturday - but you'll get 'em next time!!

Lani - Thank you for all the good links!  Just learned something new about you - that you do not like beer! :)  I do like an ice cold beer every once in a while - but mostly I like a glass of wine. ;)

Phyl - You are receiving your new Washer tomorrow?  Such a bummer you & Jim had to deal with all the mess and water.

Puff  :)

LisaG - That is good how Bandit will let you know if someone comes to the door!

Kb - That is too bad about your favorite restaurant not offering TG meals to buy this year because of being closed. ::)

Tsk - Good job in getting your windows cleaned today!!

Hi Baz, Tig  :)

Karen  :)

Hi BL, Lori  :)

Beakers have a good night.

Tsk  That;s funny---'sandbagging'. No none of that. But, we did lift the washer to wipe up the dripping of  overflow from the tub
that filled the inside and was filling the drip pan;  :o  got clean windows.

E4E like the 'Autumn Tyme' ; the new washer should be delivered sometime this Wednesday.

CLynn really like the chalkboard 'No act of kindness..." ; hopefully Wednesday the new LG will be installed; "Inosculation"  is very interesting. Tks.
Familiar with 'grafting'.

Old Guy here's the title of your new book, " Every Woman's Guide to the Facts of Home Maintainace and Repair'. All the ladies here get a signed copy at
no charge.  ;D  Rotten luck in cards last weekend.  Always enjoy the Q-Kids; Walter piece on "princess kitty. The alligator part surprised me at first.
.

Lani  thanks for the Royal Albie update and reports and all; Takahē look sort of prehistoric but sound almost delicate. I read an updated article in Nat'l Geo on
the prehistoric creatures that roamed Earth and studies reveal they were feathered and not usually scaled. Above all brightly colored.

Lisa  enjoyed the cuppa coco on your porch this AM  ;D

Karen water was under control  the moment I turned off the water lines last Wednesday.  ;)

In the Midwest Clamato and beer becomes 'Red Beer'.  ::)

I think I"m caught up...who knows?

Oldguy, I'm so glad Grindavík residents were allowed to return and collect valuables/their pets. The officials made sure to go door to door looking for pets and removing them to a safe environment too. I feel so badly for all.  :'( .... Thank you for Walter Santi and Princess.  :)  .... Great song for the QKids! ... next Saturday!  ;)

Currently 43F and clear;   High  41F sunny,  Low 61 F Clear skies

Yesterday PM I stirred/chopped a batch  ( just shy of a quart ) of salsa for us. Had been a while and it makes a low fat/calorie
snack w/ tortilla chips. I'm always the last to turn in and I thought,  well let's check to 'see' how well the salsa had meld it's flavors.
That stuff will torch the tonsils, blaze a trail down the esophagus  and burn a whole in your gut.

Prayers for Linda and Ian. Linda was a high school friend of my bro Larry. Ian has Ventricular Tachycardia .

Lani Takahē is a pretty bird.  ;); awww red tabby asleep

Karen  and all we did lift the washer to wipe up the dripping of  overflow from the tub
that filled the inside and was filling the over flow pan. That was the only water we have to contend with. And, that seems to have stopped trickling down and out.
Talons crossed.

LANI   That is really bizarre about the albie eggs.  Too bad their cameras didn't pick up anything.  Maybe more cameras?

Tsk oh that salsa was...had to sleep sitting up. Some milk right after helped.   Tks for your comment to Lani about the stolen eggs. It reminded  me to go back and read her post.
Great pumpkin pie. I have to make one as I have
a fresh can of Reddi Whipp.   ;D   

Lani sorry I missed about the stolen  albie eggs. So sad.  Yes...Odd that the cam didn't pick a thing up. Hopefully some truth will be revealed.

Phyl, no guac celebrating for me!   ;D ;D  Love the description of your salsa going down!! A bit much jalapeno? Lovely 365, such a beautiful sunrise... And the sun rises over the Retention pond. Saving the History for later...

Lani, I was also very shocked and sad about the stolen Albatross eggs! Who would be so cruel to do that, they evidently know nothing about the gentle Albys that lay only one egg every two years. I do hope they catch the culprits and that they do some jail time...  Thanks for the info on the Takahe, very interesting. Their head kind of resembles a turkey vulture... I would call the beautiful cat you posted last night a Cinnamon Cat!! Baby Binx, a sweetie!

E4E, didn't get to the windows yesterday, hopefully today! I don't like Beer either! I prefer rum and coke...  ;D

oldguy, Santi's Princess, very sweet! Thanks for update on the volcano in Iceland, so glad they were allowed to go back and get their pets and valuables!

Gross winds today!...I'll wait till tomorrow to begin my hopefully final pick up of leaves in front and Thursday in back..Jacuzzi is professionally being put to bed on Friday.
However, I'm grateful for the extended time frame to get it closer to done as the leaves have been slow and prolonged to drop. At the end of the day, plenty will be left sitting matted on top of my gardens. It's always better to mulch them and I also have lots of mulch. 6 trees this year dropped on my property, I own 3.

Haircut day and cooking day even though it's going to be a gorgeous 63 degrees!

Iceland volcano: Eruption feared as 10-mile-long 'magma tunnel' forms beneath town

By Hannah Osborne published 1 day ago

Authorities in Iceland have warned that a volcanic eruption is imminent, with the town of Grindavík, close to the country's famous Blue Lagoon resort, evacuated.

Lisa - a home made potato dish, and changed my mind from grilling steak to indoor salmon, and a multiple vegie dish.

Too windy to grill cook, but the potato dish takes time:  Just red potato sliced, onions, garlic, peppers, corn, brown sugar and spices. Salmon inside makes me avoid the ferocious wind.

Took off early this AM to get to laundromat at opening---had a boat load to wash up.
 Washing machine...
Wednesday unknown to me at the time--for some reason, now washer  doesn't know when to shut the water off  during cycles.   The little chime it's suppose to make when the load is finished didn't go off. ..because it didn't cycle properly .

That's a true bummer for sure.  :(

Especially if your washing machine is on an upper level of your house you might want to consider getting a Automatic Washing Machine Valve Shutoff Kit.

Took off early this AM to get to laundromat at opening---had a boat load to wash up.
 Washing machine...
Wednesday unknown to me at the time--for some reason, now washer  doesn't know when to shut the water off  during cycles.   The little chime it's suppose to make when the load is finished didn't go off. ..because it didn't cycle properly .

phyls we had one of these in our last home with the laundry room on the 2nd floor.
Saved our bacon from a major flood !
1) We never do laundry or use the dryer when someone is not home.
2) If we are going to be away for more than a few days we always shut the water supply off at the valve.
3) Plumbers recommend replacing the water supply hoses at least every 5 years (especially the black rubber ones) no matter what there visual condition is. Due to the heat, high pressure and shaking the hoses get a lot more stress on them than most peeps realize. We bought the steel braided hoses for extra protection and marked them with the date of install.

The water supply lines do fail .. as happened to us. We were downstairs in the kitchen when we heard the audio alarm go off .. what the heck is that noise (it sounded different than a smoke detector) ran upstairs and sure enough the hot water supply hose had ruptured.

This devise shut the water off immediately and saved us the headache/cost of a major flood in the upstairs laundry room.  :) 
A quick mop up .. a run to the hardware store for new hoses and we were back in the laundry business.   :D

Karen I have seen a similar device for hot water heaters.
If your HWH is above your head in the attic it might not be a bad idea as an extra measure of home damage protection to ask your plumber about one of these ?   8)
Our resident Lowes expert OG will know.   ;D

Now I'm sure it just shuts off the incoming water supply line to the hot water heater.
There are going to be X amount of gallons in the tank that would still drain out if the tank itself fails and is leaking.
Hopefully your HWH sits in some sort of catch pan that drains outside somehow ?

If the water detection sensor is in the "catch pan" it will shut off the incoming cold water supply and keep it from trying to continually fill up the leaking tank.

Best case scenario : The HWH tank fails & starts to leak > depending on the flow rate of the tank leak (usually a small leak at 1st and not a 'dump of water'.)  > drains the 20, 40, 60 gallons of water out of the tank into the pan > hopefully the pan and the clog free drain line to the outside handle the flow rate of the tank leak and doesn't "over-top".
No more water going into the HWH due to the auto shutoff valve > pan properly drained away 20, 40, 60 gallons of water from the tank > to the outside > no call to Allstate.   :) ;D

Never heard of a HWH in an attic, but they plumb homes in the south quite differently.  ;)

The valve shuts off the water before the Water heater - so once the WH leaks enough to drop the water pressure, the flow will also slow down to a small leak for most of the tank's supply.  Most water heater leaks are pin holes in the lining or pipes.

I am familiar with the attic install of water heaters - usually located in temp zone where temps will get as low as 20 for short periods and slab building foundation.  This is a device much like the washer unit...
https://www.amazon.com/FloodStop-Detector-Automatic-Shut-Off-Audible/dp/B0013AG8H0?th=1

There are many such devices with wifi connection, so you can control and monitor from your phone - but they require a annual subscrtiption.

tsk  :)  My older brother Beak who absorbed all of Pappy's wiz bang electronic knowledge from Bell Labs.
Our basement floor any water on it at all from any source of water incursion 1970's.

Knew about it from the wake the dead buzzer. It would go off reliably. No false alarms ever.
Above water high 9 Volt camp lantern battery 5 day backup.  8) 

Beak as a 7 yr old kid built it with off the shelf Radio Shack components.
 
I just got off the hard line phone with Beak and he thinks 1971 for about today's $9.99.  :)

He still has and uses it in his basement laundry room and apparently the control box has been modified to notify his cellphone.   

:o I no.

I had started my comments for yesterday's last post  . But, we got a jump on today and shifted furniture  and moved the stuff off the landing. Cleared out the laundry room of the clothes organizer and wall mount  caddy for ironing board  and steam presser(yes I still do some ironing, mainly use the steam presser) so the deliver guys would have some room to work. It's all stored in the guest room . The house is all torn-up. 

CLynn great quilt and so true 'The Circle of Life'
What a riot the Hen in pumps/hand bag... so true keep smiling   ;)   Even if they catch the 'culprits' pilfering the Albie egg...it'll be worthless for hatching even w/keeping it gently heated, I'd think.

Old Guy tks for update on Iceland. So very sad and frightening for inhabitants. Jaspurr---I hope all's well w/her.

BLI don't run washer(dish/clothes) or dryer when not home, etc either. Tks for the extra info too. On detection sensor in the 'over fill' or catch pan for water
heater--- it makes good sense to put it in the  washing machine catch pan  too.  ;)   Thank goodness for "B" the cat

Phyl, pretty Flyway sunrise, cute Gray Plover in the 365, great pics in Amy's Blog! Thanks! Clean out your refrigerator day!  I do need to do that! Interesting leaves posters, we have some of the same trees as Britain! I remember the horse chestnut trees, they had 'conkers' that fell to the ground. Cathy and I collected them, they are like buckeyes! That is a fat little squirrel! 46 here right now, high 68 today! Love this weather... no more 60's after tomorrow...

BL, cats know things... it's good to pay heed... 

I remember back in the late 80's, I worked for the mortgage company in the building pictured below, the Ridgely Farmers State Bank that had failed in the Great Depression. The basement was cool, the big vault door, the Board Room with all the mahogany, outside the building the sidewalk opened up and the lift went up. They had one of those water detection devices, it failed, and before it was discovered there was nearly 2 feet of water in the basement. Other rooms were used for storage of paper files, and one of the main loan file rooms was actually in the vault. It was a disaster, this was back when most records were still hard copy. The loan files had to be freeze dried/restored. Here is a pic of the building, my office was on the 11th floor, the fourth set of double arched windows!

Sorry, I went way off... the water topic just made me think of this happening in 1988ish.

Lani, your 'it was okay' on the gluten free pumpkin pie doesn't sound wonderful, but I guess if you have to eat gluten-free it's better than nothing. I remember making a sugar-free pumpkin pie years ago, for Ed's diabetic sister. She said it was good, I don't know, she may have just been nice!

oldguy, oh poor Grindavik!  How crazy! I hope maybe they can relocate the town, maybe to a safer place. It looks like such a nice little town!

tsk, I too am glad they let people go back into Grindavik and get their pets and valuables. I can't imagine the anguish of leaving pets behind...

It was windy here yesterday, our big oak tree was raining leaves, and still millions to go!

Going to be a hard working day for me. After days of ferocious winds and just light and variable today, am going to blow, rake, mulch and mow my front yard/gardens today. And hopefully be able to push/pull/drag my front mower down steps and a steep hill to start the back or leave for tomorrow. My back mower needs fixing and can't be done per my small engine repair guy till the Spring. He's too busy fixing snowblowers now.
How fun!. (sarcasm)

Mine and nearby trees have mostly "fallen".

In case you missed delivery at NN - NND arrived with stick, then had to rest for a few seconds and panted.  When he moved to place the goods you can see why.  It looked to be 2 feet long and at least an inch in diameter.  Poor baby.  It ain't easy being an eagle.  DNF must have seen the guy needed help because she came in to help.

Replay back to about 40 minutes after the hour.

Yep, me too. Sort of. Stepson plans to rake the large maple leaves in front today. Then, I will do a final mow. Tomorrow I'll drag out the hose and set the sprinkler for the whole yard... a day long process.

Did I mention?  My ash trees in back finally decided it was time.  Even the small Japanese maple got the spirit.

In front however, it is still an on-going project.  Had my leaf guys come by Saturday for gutters (windows and fountain, too).  Thursday lawn and leaves was done by the lawn crew.  They did a super job - which was already being filled back up by sunset.  But they knew the routine and said it will probably be two more trips before they call it quits for the season.  Yesterday (Tuesday) the city disposal truck (LRS) came through with their street sweeper for 6 sweeps (3 in each direction); they had the road looking like a road again.   ;D  Of course, with the driveway back to being covered again, already, the clean road didn't last for long.  I sat in my garage, recovering my begonias from their pots for quite a while (9 hanging planters of  begonias), watching Mother nature laugh at us goofy nature  lovers.  I am on her side! 

As tsk said, we've been grateful for a week of nice.  I've divided it into days of chore lists.  Today's not bad only because I have normal living chores.  Grocery shopping will be later.  Noon today the ladies of the block are doing our monthly thing; neighbor Julie chose to meet 11:30 at PoppinFresh.  Then groceries.  Then feed the birdies.  They kept flying past me yesterday giving me nasty looks.  I hope to fit in my blueberry breakfast cake tonight for tomorrow morning.

Then tomorrow, MY LAST DAY OUTSIDE, I'll clean out my big urns!  Finally, put them on the patio with all the other "stuff" under the tarp for winter protection, and last, last, last cover the patio table and chairs.    ;D  ;D   ;D   ;D   ;D

WHEW  But it was fun.   :-*

Og - Iceland vids  :o  So sad / scary.   Moose's hard life  :o :(

Lani - If I have to leave the house when the Dryer is still going, I will press the 'pause' button!   Sweet 'nite' picture  :-*

Phyl - You & Jim sure have been busy with preparing to receive your new Washer today! Hope all goes well. :)    Cute little sea bird in 365!   Thanks for DOTY;  I completely cleaned out my refrigerator a couple of months ago - took me nearly 3 hours, but it was well worth it; pulled out all the shelves & drawers.  When I finished it shined & sparkled like new!    Thank you for posting Amy's blog - always great reading.    Like the leaves!

Puff - Yes, good you mentioned the Dishwasher - although I usually wash our dishes by hand since it is just the two of us.  ;)    Looks like you are a busy girl too - try not to overdo! :)

Tsk  :)

Clynn - Liked seeing the building you used to work in - good picture!   Your Oak tree is humongous!

Eagles, I hand wash the dishes for just the two of us too. Love your morning gif.

Puff, thanks for update on Decorh North  ;D ... sounds like a pleasant day with the ladies, birds will love you too! Have a good day.

Kb, I love the Highland cattle, the babies are adorable...  I watch This Farming Life on Britbox. Docu-realty show on Farmers in Scotland/UK. They are a hardy breed able to withstand the harsh winters.... take care with your outdoor duties.

Tig, glad you'll have help today! 

Clynn, What business is in the gorgeous old building today? Aly is no-gluten and she made the pie, she didn't like it either. It tasted like damp cardboard.... lots of leaves to clean up.

BL, {{{B}}}  :)

Phyl, run crab run, thanks for nature vid and RRP blog. Lots of good updates and beautiful pics.... Mike emptied the Raisin Bran box today....

I read there about 1,000 Highland Cattle being raised in the US...hm, somewhere, I don't know where.

Took about 2 hours to finish the front yard/gardens.
Going to head out with Ollie in a bit.

Thanks Old Guy!

Karen, just a reminder...  if the water heater's input water valve gets shut off, and the water in the water heater tank drains out, the water tank would still be on and operating, though empty, or at least with a lower level of water in it, depending on where on the water tank the water is draining from. Just as an FYI/reminder, you would still need to throw the water heater's circuit breaker to the "OFF" position if you have the type of water heater that has heating coils in it, else they will continue to burn without any water around them, which will burn them out, and/or cause other issues.

Tsk a crust-less pumpkin pie? 

CLynn I too need to do a quick clean on the fridge as it doesn't get too bad; nice Autumns this AM; interesting story about  failed Depression Era Ridgely Farmers State Bank ; you have a lotta oak leaves

Old Guy  Heartbreaking for  Grindavik.   A real disaster loosing  an entire town. .  Glad there's time to salvage valuables and rescue animals; moose was really funny--- intoxicated

Puff replay info on NN/NND will check it out later; sounds like you got lots accomplished

Lani  those owl chicks are adorable
BL  {{{B}}} cats have that 6th sense about everything  ;)

Lisa got your Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving ?  Although, tradition does have  it up at Thanksgiving .  ???


E4 E nice Autumn view today;  thanks  for remembering  about today.


Got a text message from Lowe's last evening with a Wednesday delivery  window of 1:15pm-5:15 pm . So as I mentioned we got busy last night and moved some things out of the way to make things easier for everyone.  This AM, I was just getting Maggie her  BP meds about 8:40 and my iPhone rang. It was the Lowes guys letting me know they'd be here within the hour. That was  alright as I was set for everything.
When they arrived I did a check of the truck to make sure the correct item was on the truck, it was.

However ...when the drive got upstairs and pulled my broken washer out he found water in the back along where the hoses and outlets were it needed wiping up...to my surprise  he tore off a wad of paper towels and cleaned it up. Which was wonderful. He cleaned his shoes on an  a big blotter as he left the room.

But the washer still had a good bit of water inside between the tub and appliance walls. There was no way to avoid spillage as careful as the guys were using
the harness and  support bands underneath the appliance. The hall carpet was soaked, again.  The risers on the stairs had  large wet blotches all the way down into the living room. I ended up blotting the water up and got the Bissell Little Green to clean/disinfect the stairs and back up to the hall doing the same  there. Once carpet was dry enough to walk on ---I brought the  Swiffer Wet Jet mop up and  mopped  w/ disinfecting liquid the laundry room floor . Once dry I began moving the laundry sorter/organizer (on  locking wheels) back in and the laundry basket of used bath towels, bag of our bed sheets/duvet cover. Put a load  in and etc.
 Went down stairs to finish with the carpet in front of the door.
 In short, unavoidably, I ended up doing the same work and then some as I did Wednesday. Didn't  get finish until 3pm.
But, it's all clean and back in order.  Had to laugh at myself because  as I  worked, I kept going back  up stairs to check on the  new washer.  :-[

Hello Beakers

Phyl - congrats on the successful replacement of you washer.  :)

This week the store is getting all Christmas product on the floor - nothing in overstock.  One more week until Thanksgiving.  Black Friday product will begin to show up on the floor starting Monday at full retail price - everything is in place by close on Wed. and the sale prices go up before we open on Friday.  So a very busy week coming up...
I am working Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun.

My front door has been pealing paint for over a year now - spent Monday and today scaping and painting - looks like new again...

Lani - I was wondering how a gluten free pie would taste! :-\

Phyl - Wow, what a very busy day you had with receiving your new Washer!  You sure did a great job of mopping up after the other Washer was being hauled out.  Nice that all that work and mopping up is behind you and hopefully you can just enjoy doing your laundry with your new Washer!! :)

Og - Your store is definitely getting prepared for the big sale!!  Looks like you will be working some longer hours!   Loved the Quarantine Kids singing Never Been To Spain! ;D

Post by: Lani on November 15, 2023, 10:38:52 PM

Lisa, yes, gluten free pumpkin pie taste different to me. Also, it depends on the type of flour for the crust. Aly finally settled on Almond Flour. She uses organic honey instead of sugar... Which is pretty good for most baked goods. Mike loves Aly's apple muffins... so good.  ;D .. what! You've put your tree up! And Eagle has been wrapping Christmas gifts.... I feel so behind. LOL!!  ;D

Phyl, Congratulations on your new washer, what a relief it must be to have old one out, new one in!

Oldguy, you're always working hard..... good luck for next week's sale! ... awww Donut, that makes perfect sense why he cries so loud. Its wonderful he has such loving and fun parents.  :-* ... Mike loves Jazz and enjoyed Dick Hyman... poor hungry kitty, I hope they took him home.

SED Karen and Piper

Eagles, I didn't like the crust Aly made the pie with, now she's settled on Almond Flour and instead of Splenda sugar, she uses organic honey which is so much better. I do not like no gluten pizza. Aly's tried all kinds of flour for the crust, and it just doesn't work for me. But, bless her, I'll eat it for her and not say a peep.

Good night!

'Time's finally up': Impending Iceland eruption is part of centuries-long volcanic pulse

Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula is now in a new era of volcanic eruptions that will last for up to 500 years, and the building magma beneath Sundhnúkur and Grindavík is part of this millenia-long cycle.

This year I am going to pull up out of storage my working snow blower and leave in the garage so if and when a biggy comes I am not totally reliant on Andrew's plow.

Will watch a you tube video to learn how to turn it on. It has an electric start as well. Was maintained while Scott was alive and if I can start it I know how to use it.

Watch, now we won't get any snow this year!...LOL. El Nino looks to be a hardy one this year and may continue well into spring.
Later

HI BEAKERS

PHYL   Getting my turkey on Friday - will check for pies  ;) ;)   Well check that project off the list!!!  Guess I'm lucky with my w/d in a mud room you enter from the garage all on the main level.  Not much room to maneuver tho.   Something very peaceful about wetlands 365    Serene flyway today.

OLDGUY   Awww  Deaf kitty story.   Jelly Roll - that is really fast piano playing. :o  This week will fly by for you.  Save energy for Sat night cards  ;)

Phyl, beautiful sunrise views of the Flyway and the Mississippi from the GSB! Will be reading the Iceland and Thanksgiving articles after I get this post done... I bet you are so relieved to get the new washing machine all set and working! Wow, you have been washing loads like a Chinese Laundry! I bet you are washing everything in sight!  The 365 says 'winter is coming'.

kb, very interesting about the elephants! You sure do a lot of physical work around your house, I don't know how you manage it all!

Lani, almond flour is good, at least what I have tried. Great idea to use honey instead of Splenda! I am where you are, have not done anything for Christmas yet. We usually get the Christmas decor out right after Thanksgiving. Erin's are coming here for Thanksgiving dinner this Sunday, since they will be in Florida with Sydney's Dad for Thanksgiving. The fresh turkey breasts arrived Monday at the grocery store, so I am all set. I found a sweet potato crock pot recipe I want to try,  https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/slow-cooker-sweet-potato-casserole/f7a859d6-c5e9-4f86-891c-dcea461a11041ZXRlNR

tsk, so is your Thanksgiving guest list final? I have my traditional menu planned for Sunday, Bella says I have to make mac'n'cheese too! Pecan and French Coconut pies.

E4E, I love wrapping presents and I have enough wrapping paper that I will leave some in my will...  ;D ;D ;D

oldguy, love the video of Donut the cat, what a fun family! Be sure and eat your Wheaties, you will be busy for a couple of months!

Lisa, good for you, you have your tree up already!  I bet there will be lots of presents for Sydney under the tree, I bet you have some purchased already...

Just found this beautiful picture of the Courthouse Square in Albion. IL (hometown) decorated for Veterans Day last week. There is a flag for every Veteran that has passed away and the names of all veterans are etched into the plaques on the Memorial right above the Pagoda. My Dad has a flag and his name is etched in the Viet Nam section of the USAF section The street on the left side is one of the many brick streets in town. This is where the shops are located. There is a brick square all around the courthouse and Historical Society (formerly the jail). Then there is the square formed by the streets on each side of the Courthouse. Fifth St, Elm St, 4th St and Main St. No traffic lights, just stop signs.

Clynn - thanks but doesn't seem like That much to me!
I stood/ worked physically my whole life as a career. Hardly ever sat down. Maybe that's why?

I can't imagine sitting or being sedentary in life. Think it would "kill" me to be forced into that.

Plus in older age, I work much smarter than when younger.

Interesting add on:
A Hopkins (smaller suburb of the Twin Cities) council member won a seat by just ONE vote!
Wow I guess this speaks to the saying:
"Every vote counts"
Scott used to work in Hopkins before his injury accident.

Morning!

low 58 - high 70 - scattered showers

Lani - Cute nite pic of sleeping puppy.    Will your daughters be coming over for Thanksgiving?

Phyl - Nice temps for your area today.   I bet it feels good to be catching up on your laundry. ;)  I actually like folding nice clean laundry. :D   Nice views of wetlands in 365.   Like the cam pics.   

Kb - Cute kitty!  Good plan you have today for your mower and for the snow blower.  You have been staying ahead of all you want to get done to get prepared for winter - good job - you are doing so good!!

Tsk - Cute pic this morning Lol! ;D  Good place for your W/D.  Mine is in our garage and they set on a concrete floor.  Our house is a single story home and I take one step down from my kitchen to enter into the garage.

Clynn - Perfect plan to have Erin & the family over for an early TG before they head out to FL.  Lol! Bella wants some mac n cheese made for the occasion! ;D     I too have a lot of Christmas wrapping paper! I would like to buy some new, but I know I should use what I have. ::)    Love SWFL picture!

tsk - Yep, just the tree tho, not the other Christmassy stuff I put out around the house.  I needed to see how Misty was going to be with the tree.  I was fluffing the branches, and all of a sudden the lights go out.  I was like oh no, a short. Jeff was like I will look at it later.  A few minutes later, Jeff was in kitchen and Misty brings a bulb.  Jeff looks for the one missing, inserts it and ta-da...we have lights again!

kb -  ;D ;D

Phyl - Thanks for 365, cute figurines, and pretty cam pics.  Yep, tree is up.  I have many friends down South in Mississippi that have had their tree up since Nov. 1.  One of them posted this saying on Facebook the other day when someone commented about their tree being up. Do what makes you happy, cause life is short, and you just never know. 

oldguy - Need to check out your website for some outdoor Christmas stuff.  Thanks for videos.

E4E - Pretty good night pic.  Oh wow, all done with your wrapping.  I will start buying next week. 

Lani - I will have to try something gluten free just to see the taste difference.  Mmmm, apple muffins sounds delicious!

kb - Hoping this will be your last mow?

clynn - Love the painted rock.  I have a few eagles ones that Jeff has got me.  Cute lil morning mouse.  I have only bought one thing for her so far.  I got a monogrammed teddy bear Christmas stocking from Pottery Barn for her. I am not sure what you buy a 4 month old other than clothes?

Parker tries to chase the squirrels off when he sees them, but doesn't do much to the rat. The squirrels eat a few pieces then leave, and there are almost always leftovers at the end of the day. But the rat parked itself and ate for 20 minutes, so he may find himself eaten out of house and home if he continues to allow it.  :-\

Lisa, Looks like Misty will have a fun celebrating her 1st Christmas! LOL!  ;D I'll ask Aly to email me the Apple Muffin recipe. She had chunks of green apples in it, then there's another one and she puts organic apple sauce in it.

Eagles, Shannon will join us, they'll be just 3 of us and a 13 lb. turkey... oh and Sadie, Milo and Norman will have their bites of turkey later.  :-*

Clynn, love your morning pics.Love the painted rock..... yummy/easy sweet potato recipe. I notice on the website, they have a Pillsbury Crescent Roll stuffed with sweet potato recipe on the side....I love using my crock pot on the holidays too. Saves on cooking space. Also, it's so easy to let it cool, then place pot in refrig, and I can deal with clean up next day. Ill cooking a ham in our crock pot for Shannon to take home for meals. It'll be just 3 of us for Thanksgiving.... The munchkins/Erin/Sydney will have a lovely time in Florida. I hope they have sunny weather to enjoy! And you will be able to have a nice quiet long weekend to start working on Christmas. I think I'll start putting out the Christmas glassware and dishes today. Oh, we finally had a little rain last night. It wasn't a soaker, but it helped remove the dust out of the air. I hope we get more. When do the kids leave for Florida? ... If you don't mind me asking, Who gets the Christmas wrapping paper? LOL!!  ;D ;D ;D .... oh my, SWFL Harriet's Legacy lives on... maybe the new SWFL female is one of Harriet/Ozzies? Poor M15. I see peeps below taking pics... {{{Lois and Jimmy}}} Superman!  ;D ... love the local customers!  :-*

Tsk, our w/d is in mud room off the garage too. Safeway just lowered their turkey prices to flat cost of $8 for a 7 to 15 lb turkey, $.80per lb.

Kb, great research article on elephants, they are so smart.... You and Chris will be more prepared than ever for winter.  :)

Phyl, Almond flour is one of the suggested items to replace a no grain diet in baking. Aly follows this prescribed diet by her doctor.... thanks for article on Iceland... pretty sunrise.

Lisa - Whew. Last mow of the season!...We did it. Hard to believe how heavy it was to move the mower down those steps. And even worse to move the snowblower up the steps and parked in garage.

I got lots mowed/bagged in back and the rest I will just blow into my gardens.

The wind is ferocious once again and my perfect and immaculate front yard is filled with leaves from the apartment across the street that never mulches or bags them ever. I'm disappointed. Both of my mowers are now stored with Seafoam in them if for no other reason than for me to just STOP!

It's been a strange leaf year, well, weather year. Spoke with Sis yesterday who said due to the drought (third year) but no longer, the trees acted strangely. Lots of rain and wind in October had them drop late and blow everywhere.
I doubt I'll ever have such a year again in my lifetime.

I now look forward to winter!...who'd a thunk esp. after our record breaking winter last year, LOL

I'm having skin cancer surgery again next Tuesday..no Covid this time to prolong my surgery and it's on my hairline/forehead. I'm skipping the Mohs surgery as I will never ever do that one again as it was so awful and needed plastic surgery. Instead there is an older type although I'll have an open wound for 6 weeks.

So, and because it's just me and Chris I am hoping nobody asks me what I'm doing for Thanksgiving.
Some of us have no one other than ourselves and or one or so. No cooking but for a routine dinner for us this year. When asked I just catch my breath for a second not knowing what to say anymore.
I am however, jealous of all of your doing your cooking things...Sounds delicious.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

Clynn, that's a great pic of Albion, and extra special with your dad's flag and name etched in the memorial there, too.  :) :-*  I was thinking this morning that your turkey would be in the firdge thawing today for your family's Thanksgiving get-together this weekend, but I see you got a fresh turkey. That will be yummy, and so will your pies! Miss Bella will be all smiles with her mac-n-cheese!  ;) :D

Lani, I guess Aly has already tried it, but I really like things made from rice flour, which is gluten free.  I'm not on gluten free, but I eat a lot of gluten free foods just because of my normal selection of foods. I love rice flour breads and crackers and such - but not those icky rice cakes I used to eat back in my "salad days!!"  ;) ;D  I think Parker the Toucan  :-* must have looked at that rat eating his food, and thought, "What?!?!? This squirrel must have something wrong with him because his tail isn't fluffy!!" Maybe Parker decided that poor non-fluffy tailed "squirrel" needed more to eat.  ;) ;D

Lisa, that's so thoughtful of Misty to bring you the loose Christmas tree light she found!  ;) :D :-*  Maybe she says y'all might want to check all the bulbs to find the ones that are loose so you can tighten them before they fall out (with her help, of course). LOL.

Karen, I only addressed that earlier post to you about the circuit breaker for an empty water heater because you had mentioned yours. I figured it would be a good reminder for anyone who read it.  ;)  I'm back to the 70s today, too, and for the next 2 days, before cooling off again after that. But, yep, I'm not putting my shorts back on either, even though it's warmer.  :D  I hope you and Piper get to enjoy this warmer weather from your porch glider with a view to your pretty yard, and Piper can look for tree frogs and lizards to gift you!  ;) :-*



My Littlest Greatniece and her mom (my niece) are doing the Boston Marathon again today. Ugh... that's what we call it when just the two of them take a very early flight to Boston, with all the meds, tubes, multiple forms of feed, and special supplies and gear required, in tow. And then they travel from the airport, with all that stuff, to Childrens Hospital for LGN's rounds with several of her specialty docs, tests and procedures, too, along with meetings to discuss it all. Their time at the hospital takes many hours, and they have to fit in giving all the meds and feedings by various tube routes for LGN, and something to eat for Mom, too. Then after everything is done at the hospital, they trek themselves and all their gear back to Boston Logan airport for an evening flight home... fingers crossed for little or no delays and no bad crowds or weather for their travel. They will get home late to the DC airport, and then have the drive back home from there. It makes for a very, very long and very demanding day - hence, the Boston Marathon. Also, it was LGN's Mom's 38th birthday yesterday!  :-* :-*

I'm heading to the grocery store. A few weeks ago my LGN and her Baby Bro went to their parents' college reunion weekend. A good time was had by all!  :D :-* :-* :-* :-*   Phyl, it was "down the road" from you, at Vandy.  ;) :D

Later, gators!  ;) :D

CLYNN    I love sweet potatoes but Tim does not.  Tried a new one the other day.  Boil the peeled potatoes cut into cubes  Drain well and drizzle with syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon.  Easy peasy but will add more syrup next time  LOL  Looks like photographer below the SW FL nest - tripod?  I remember we had to stay on the concrete...Albion is stunning.  You can't beat small town patriotism - Looks like a Hallmark setting...  Lois Lane - looks pretty good

KB   I'm surprised someone isn't screaming "recount" in that election  :o   Seems the thing to do these days.  I forget, are those basil cells or squamous?

EAGLES   Love the fall collage.  :D   You sure don't have to worry when your washer springs a leak!

LISA   That's right - you have a new cat experience as well.  Oh no -Misty brought a bulb.  Lulu is going to go bananas - I just know it.   It won't be til after Thanksgiving but may just bring up the 4 pieces and put them together without decorating and see what happens.  Let her get used to the idea.       Google toys for 4-9 mo old.  Sydney will grow into it.   I see CLYNN did some shopping for you  LOL
 
LANI   I got out my Xmas mugs yesterday as well as the holiday towels  ;) ;)   Our Perdue turkeys are .99/lb  Butterballs are 1.99/lb   That is an amazing deal on your turkey.

BAZI  That truly is a grueling day for sure.  What a way for your niece to spend her b-day.  I'm sure she will recoup many b-day wishes today  ;D   Cut pics of the kids  ;D

BL   LOLOL  Perfect gift  ;) ;)

T40   I've been there!  I've watched Martha Stewart and believe me - not worth it  LOL

By the way.  Barb and Tom as you know are in Florida right now and Pepper their cat is always with - She is 18 1/2 and they put her down yesterday... :'(   She had been getting those monthly injections which really worked so they had her for 6 months longer than they thought.  But now was peeing outside the box and not eating....

Does anyone have a Home Goods?  It is associated with Marshalls and TJ Max I believe.  Hadn't been in there in a while - boy did I get a lot of shopping done!!!

I asked Camper to dig up a couple errant nut tree sprouts (dang squirrels) from the rose bed and I noticed my little gate by the garage failed to stop a bunch of leaves that blew in from across the street. Grr. I'll gather them before going to yard waste site tomorrow.

I'm so glad we do not have a dishwasher nor a refrigerator with water that could malfunction; and our washer/dryer are in the basement right next to the drain.

Will be heating some meatballs and assembling some bowls of esquites tonight. Yum.

SED all

Lani - I would love to have the apple muffin recipe if Aly would share.  :D

kb - Mama had the skin cancer surgery in the same exact spot you are having yours.  But, I think she had the Mohs surgery.  Glad you got all your mowing done.

baz - I was very happy decided to bring Jeff the bulb.  I was ready to throw the tree to the curb, and go by a new one.  :D  Punkin and Baby Bro are getting so big! Love all that hair on Baby Bro.

T40 - LOL

tsk - I knew I could count on clynn to find gifts!   ;D  I do have to report, neither one has touched the tree again since the bulb incident, but Misty did tear up my tree skirt some cause the lil snowman has like a fluff ball on him.  ::)  So very sorry to hear about Barb kitty  :'(  We have a Home Goods here, but I have not been to it in a while. Good stuff?

tig - Enjoy your dinner!

Have a good night, everyone!

TIG   Good time to plan a trip away.  Hope the roads aren't too busy.

LISA  They have a ton of stuff at Home Goods.  Sometimes not the neatest displays but I noticed employees trying to keep the shelves organized.  Prices pretty good.

The Courthouse in Albion sure does look like a Hallmark picture!  Lovely, Clynn and special that your father is remembered there!
Great idea for Sydneys .Christmas! Lol, I have
to laugh about the baby musical instruments!  A friend of mine had a son followed by a daughter!  Everyone was bringing presents to Jennifer and poor Joey was left out!  I bought him an accordion!   A toy but a great replica!
I had a very successful facial Mohs surgery in Springfield!  Do not recall any pain and would recommend it to anyone!

Baz. That is some ordeal your niece and lgn went thru!  I am assuming all was well?   Cute picture!
Lisa, hope  Mistsy leaves  the Christmas rree alone! Tsk. Same for Kulu!

Baz, Thank you for mentioning rice flour. Aly only bought rice flour noodles. She try rice flour for pizza crust  :( I'll say no more about that. It's her taste buds not mine that matter. I did like the store bought rice crackers/breads. Now I ate a lot of rice cakes/ long rice noodles in Hawaii. Loved that!  ;D

I don't know if this company has product in stores outside of the midwest, but I have heard good reviews by those that tried it...  It is available on Amazon

BL & Pip Bounce.   :)

Shit we've been known to be ecstatic to see tepid water.

Pip took a turkey and put it on the table one year.
I took it you dress it  .. thump.

Hung her shotgun on it's peg and went about the day.
Glanced over her shoulder .. now cook me a pie boys.

Absolutely the worst pie ever cooked by jaw dropped Turkey hunters.  :) 

Fed 16 as I recall.  11 left.  :(

Oldguy, I've used Red Mill, but I didn't know they had no-gluten baking flour. I'll let Aly know, and I'll make a basket of no-gluten products for her this Christmas, I'll add the flour. Thanks for the suggestion.

BL, Love the Planet Drums playing for change. I listened to it several times. Totally love drums!

Howdy Beakers!  :)


Phyl, thank you.  :-* They went to Boston Childrens Hospital today. That's where my LGN's doctors are. They went to Vandy a few weeks ago for their college reunion.  :)

Lani, I love rice noodles, but those plain dry rice cakes gotta go! LOL. Well, they are better than cardboard, I'll give you that, and I would cheat and put peanut butter on them. But I only ate them as a diet thing - filling for sure - just drink a big glass of water to get it down the gullet, and then let it swell up to a fare-thee-well afterward.  :o  Now there are many flavors of them, and mini-sized ones, too. You enjoy!  ;) ;D

T40, LOLOLOL!!

Lisa, there are lots of great toys for that age group!  You're going to be having lots of fun this Christmas!  :)  Oops... it sounds like Misty likes to knead dough on your tree skirt's snowman... or do her nails. Ruh roh.

Karen, yeah, the Boston Marathon is rigorous. They usually go every 2 months, sometimes more often. It is usually a 1-day marathon trip because of work and school, but sometimes they go the evening before and spend 1 night. They took that round-trip marathon today!  I hope they are home by now.  :-* :-*  They won't be posting a report to me.  ;)  I just hope they made it all okay, and can get some rest now.  Tomorrow (Friday) is a work and school day for them, too.

TSK, there's a Home Goods store in my town, but I haven't been in it in years. Your sweet potatoes sound good. Do you cube them after you boil them, or before?  Aww, that's sad news for Barb and Tom having to let their sweet kitty go... such a hard thing to do.  Hugs for them. Well, my niece's birthday was Wednesday, and the Boston Marathon was today (Thursday), so at least they weren't on the same day.  ;)

BL, that was a plump wild turkey that fed 16!  I wonder which turkey call was Pip's favorite.  My father used to turkey hunt on occasion with his older sister's husband, and I remember some of the funny stories they came home with. I don't think the turkey population was in any danger from their outings, LOL. My father had a bunch of different turkey calls, and I remember, as a young child, having fun with him making those calls work, and then I would try them. LOL, lots of fun doing that as a kid. I wasn't so good at making the right sounds on the ones you blew into. My favorite was one of his turkey calls that you rubbed a stick like piece onto another piece... gosh, I can hardly remember it... oh now I have to go looking... LOL... well here is a page of old turkey calls, and I remember my father having some like some of these:
https://www.ebay.com/b/Vintage-Turkey-Hunting-Game-Calls/36252/bn_7023349483   :D

Oldguy, most all the grocery stores in NC carry the Bob's Red Mill product line. I haven't looked specifically for their gluten free all-purpose flour, but I imagine it's in many of the stores here.  You have a "new" front door! Yay! The weather must've been right for that task. The last time I painted a front door, I swore I never would again... couldn't shut the door for several days because the tacky paint would stick to the rubber weatherstripping. I didn't sleep so well those nights.  ;)

E4E, glad you got a little rain, and hope you get some more.  :)  We're right parched here.

Tig, oh law... leaves blow in the wind... waddaya gonna do? Have a fun Thanksgiving meal with some of your family, and then a fun trip!




My niece and her fam (husband, LGN, and Baby Bro) invited me to come visit over the Thanksgiving holiday. But I have been up in the air about making that trip. Her brother is traveling there to join them, and my sister (their mom) planned to go, too.  But my sister got sick night before last. She tested negative for covid yesterday, but positive on the re-test this morning! Dang! And, Ugh! eee-vennn...  Luckily, her doc prescribed her an Rx (5-day course) for it this afternoon. So, I don't know, but I'm guessing she won't be going anywhere for Thanksgiving. I'm probably going to stay put. Zippo and I can hang out together and enjoy some good eats here. We'll see.

I missed walking Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! But I did get in a 29-minute walk this afternoon just before dark. Yay!


Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Saw that pic of "FINALLY" cat, that was me last night. 

Three to do's accomplished:  Grass/lawn/leaves guy (but he will make one more last stop before the end of month); Davey tree finally got back to me on 1/2 hour notice  :P  to sculpt evergreens; got all the large yard urns to patio, covered with tarp along with etc outside, covered table and chairs, fed the birds (they did a "finally" to me).  Amen and finally, even beat the bad wind and wind gusts, rain and plunging temps today.

As KB and tsk well know - we love the outside and our yards BUT there is now a hard competition between them and our advancing ages.  Thinking of Lani and sagebrush, too.  It does keep us out of trouble and off the streets.  ;D

 ;D 

W/D done and working, Boston Marathon taken care of for the holidays, PT on the road to being taken care of, cars fixed, loading up the viddles for Thanksgiving --  sounds like we've got things all under control.

ENJOY and HUGS

Puff - LOL, keep us off the streets!...indeed.

Think it also keeps us young and alive!..

I forgot to mention I had to mow the back yard steep hill yesterday with my front yard mower.
Hmm, it pushed up the hill much easier than the other one?
Remember my cable broke on the one which propels it.
So, I'm thinking all summer long I was fighting the propeller that was off it's track!
So, I am not getting older or the hill steeper but probably had a not completely functioning mower!
I had to just laugh.

Have to respond about Mohs surgery.
I do NOT demean it for most but the background for me was very different.

I had to wait for it on the side of my nose, btw, the most delicate skin on our faces. Due to COVID. My dermatology clinic shut down. Also, um, Scott was dying.
Worse, the year before I pointed it out to my Dermatologist who IGNORED it. Then had the balls to repeatedly since remind me to come in frequently....Same clinic that does the MOHS.
Then it took the Surgeon 5 1/2 hours to finish and by then I needed major Plastic Surgery.
Done only after vaccines had been provided and Scott buried.

Unusual development so for me: I will never allow that to happen again. This lesion is in the very early stages and I won't go for it as it's not deep....Nope

Currently 62F cloudy,   High  68F and rain,   Low 49 F  clear skies.


And, I say "Good-bye"  to a really crappy week! :-*

Lisa personally I can't do Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Family tradition --  besides I do alot besides the tree. There's garland on the stairs,
over the living / dinning room  doors and entries-- then I work  timer lights in them and tie bows and hook ornaments. I do flora arrangements for all the rooms---living , dinning, bedrooms;  the Nativity is set up, Christmas music CDs to pick out and program in the Bose ,hang two sets of stockings with the fancy ones off the door knobs---the front porch. All that makes me happy to celebrate His birthday- ;) :) :-*

T40 ghosts of those trying to fold a fitted sheet. ROTFL ... was just folding a fitted sheet.  ;D

Lani oh gotta luv Parker the Toucan.   I understand about the almond flour Aly's doc advises. I just wondered it the flour had
a 'sweet' taste .

 Old Guy Claire’s video,  some subtitles didn’t make sense to me either

Bazi With the upstairs laundry room flooding ...with the washer's circuitry wearing and shorting out.  I got my wires crossed...had it all to do myself after
 us being sick.

So funny Puff yard work keeping 'us' busy and 'off the streets'.

More gentle hugs KB extra prayers.

Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; Linda and Ian, My  Alter prayer list
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

HI EVERYONE

Dreary AM here in Chicagoland after 4 days of gorgeous above average weather.

LISA   Forgot to mention last night - that fluff ball on the tree skirt was like manna from heaven  LOLOL

BL   Loved the drums - song around the world.  ;D

OLDGUY  My grocery sells Red Mill.  Claire's trips to the vet are always an adventure

KAREN   Our Home Goods is in a small mall of maybe 7 businesses and TJ Max is one of them  LOL

EAGLES  Beautiful fox. 

BAZI  Funny story about the turkey calls.  Sometimes a good thing to rest the muscles a day or two.  ;)  Maybe you could all meet in a Zoom or Skype call for Thanksgiving...

PHYL  Jim Brandenberg is my favorite 365

CLYNN  We always had a hopscotch chalked on our driveway or front sidewalk.  Double dutch jump rope was a big playground activity in the school year.   Whoa - that camper - may need bridge clearance  LOL

KB  Just loved those cuddling lions

current 57 - high 70 - showers likely

Bazi - Such a Long day for your niece & LGN - hope all went well with their travels (no delays).  Hope their day went well with the tests, procedures, meetings and everything they had to do.  Hugs for the both of them.   Happy belated Birthday to your LGN Mom! :-*

BL - Lol that gift suggestion for LisaG!

Tsk - Good pricing for a Turkey - hope they are that reasonably priced in Lani's area too!   I love the Home Goods store - we have one that is about a 30 minute drive away.  I have not been in it for quite a long time though.

Kb - Wishing you all the best for your upcoming skin appt this Tuesday.

LisaG - Cute how Misty wanted to play with the 'fluff ball' on your tree skirt!  Good idea you have in getting the kittys used to the tree. :)

Karen - So nice of you to have taken a gift to the little boy while most were taking gifts for the new daughter. :)

Phyl - Good job in getting your loads of laundry done! 

Lani - We are heading out of town for Thanksgiving - leaving here on Wednesday!

Puff - You've sure been busy with your yard too!  Glad Davey Tree gave you a little heads up before they arrived!  Stay warm with those plunging temps. ;)

Have to run now, will catch up later!   Beakers have a nice day  :)

Lived in company housing---marking up sidewalks a bit of a taboo.  But all the 'sidewalk surfing' we wanted.  ;D
Elem. school had HopScotch painted on playground.

Tsk luv all the 365. But, Jim Brandenburg is the best, always. I see you found the wayward turkey.  ;D

E4E you have free apple cider at your stand.  :)    A bit early...  St. Christopher be with you both on Wednesday as hit the holiday road.

The fiery Leonid meteor shower peaks this weekend. Here's how to watch.

Up to 15 "shooting stars" per hour may be visible in dark skies.

karen - I hope Ms. Misty does too!

E4E - I am glad she brought the bulb, and didn't swallow it. 

Lani - Sweet good night pic.

baz - Misty is a kneader!  She loves to knead blankets.

Phyl - How is the new washer?  Thanks for the 365.  Wow, you go all out for Christmas.  Would love to see a pic when you are done decorating.

About a week ago there was some talk of Highland cows.  Here is a farm in Illinois that breeds mini Highlands along with a few other breeds.  The photos will make you smile.  They are so stinking cute.

TGIF Beakers!
Morning 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 you're going somewhere warm and fun!  ;D

Tsk, We did hopscotch at school or we outlined one in the ground. No sidewalks or road in our little village. We did double dutch jump rope and this one Tinikling which is a traditional Philippine folk dance. When we were kids, we did it like a game and fast! Just line up and jump in when someone jumps out... Watch the ankles!!   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GNlKIyncsJk?feature=share

Clynn, I love shopping for Aly. She has always been the adventurous one, we both enjoy trying new things. And  Mike and Shannon are easy to shop for, they're picky, so I know their likes/dislikes. Shannon prefers gift cards. If I don't make it down to the valley I do online shopping at World's Market for Aly or I shop in Pine or small antique shops up here.

Phyl, beautiful and cute Jim Brandenberg nature vid. Love his videos. I hope the skies are clear for us to see the meteor shower.

{{{Kb}}} hugs and prayers ... awww the power of cuddling.  ;D

Puff, LOLOL indeed it does  ;D

Baz, understand about rice cakes, they do taste like cardboard. If you don't drink a lot of water they do get your system in trouble. Didn't know they come in flavors. Though I like them, I haven't had them for years.

Oldguy, Maru  ;D ... thank you for posting the link to Derek Paravicini and Adam Ockelford. Derek's ability highlights what we don't know about the human brain. Mike had an older cousin who though not blind, was learning disabled/autistic. Of course back in the 40's when he was born they didn't know anything about autism. His cousin loved math and playing cards. He would play Gin Rummy, Canasta and Hearts. After Mike's uncle/aunt passed away a relative put him in a home. He died a few months later.  :'( He was a sweet gentle soul.

LANI  Dog reminds me  of me at HG  LOLOL    I've seen tinikling done before .  Really need to concentrate on the beat  LOL    Very sad story about Mike's older cousin.  We know so much more today and what is yet to come in the future we will never know.

Mornin' back to you Lisa.  Following saga of the lights.  All these years/cats I never had bulb retrievals.  Puff did like to round up/ pull off an ornament for himself and sleep on the tree skirt with it.  Also they all seem to like rumpling up the skirt to lay on it.  Keep us up to date on the light capers. 

Hi to E4E, enjoy the 70's.

Doing nuttin' but reading/relaxing today.  Still only finishing my 2ndcup of tea.

Puff and other Beakers - An early Happy Thanksgiving wish to you all.

On Thanksgiving Day we start our journey to the South. We are headed to Buenos Aires, Ushuaia (the furthest south city in the world) and then to Antarctica.  It will be the adventure of a lifetime.  We can't wait to see penguins (up to 3 kinds), sea lions, whales and many varieties of birds.  Not sure if I'll do the polar plunge though.

Wow Weasel!!! Safe travels...

Standing for a half hour to pick up leaves did me in this morning. Luckily, I had a nice workout in the pool first. The yard waste site sure was busy at the 11 a.m. opening. After I warm up a bit, I'll wash the front picture window, and the back storm door window again. Then, I'll resume deep cleaning the kitchen.

Pepperoni for him and chicken pizza for me tonite.

HAGD

Lani... Aw. Hugs for Mike and you. It still stings, I'm sure.

Have decisions to make, hmm, not that good at it since Scott died:

Sell my jacuzzi?...guys who've maintained it all these years and replaced the motor etc. said if it's easy to move.
2. leave running all winter at 85-90 degrees.

3. Don't open in the summer so can leave the antifreeze in it for next winter.

The only reason to decide these things is: The cost of putting it "to bed" has now become the same as running all winter and paying for electricity/gas.

and secondly I didn't use it much this summer, reason: too hot and drought caused me to water all summer.

Hmm, I'll have to decide next spring....flummoxed. As nobody can predict the weather much in advance.

Lisa Autumn stays until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It all  comes down and stowed in the Rubbermaid tubs until mid Sept. I wait a week with the house looking 'normal. Then the Christmas tubs come downstairs and  it starts all over again. Decorating is subject to two factors: 1. Jim, how much and when is he willing to carry the tubs, holding the step tool and me 'steady'  ( I have  BPPV-https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+is+paroxysmal+vertigo&qs=SSA&pq=how+is+begin+proximinal+vertigo+abbrevated&sk=SSA2&sc=10-42&cvid=68B7D5B5269E4F56AA2ACC2FD8F18D52&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=3&lq=0 (https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+is+paroxysmal+vertigo&qs=SSA&pq=how+is+begin+proximinal+vertigo+abbrevated&sk=SSA2&sc=10-42&cvid=68B7D5B5269E4F56AA2ACC2FD8F18D52&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=3&lq=0)) #2. Me, mood, time and BPPV.  The house never looks the same from season to
season. And I usually have decorations up 12 days prior to Christmas Eve. One given, it all comes down and put away on  or just after Epiphany in January (6th). Many keep Christmas season until Feb 2nd.

Weasel The  Scottish Highland cows are also bred as far south as Texas and  Georgia.    Gosh you and your hubby are certainly adventuresome . Do take care and hope have some  snaps to share w/ us here.  In case we don't 'see' you here---St. Christopher be with you  in your travels from the time you depart until your return home.

Lani that one very excited Lab !  I hope you can see the meteor shower, too. 'Cuz we have cloudy/rainy skies. So heartbreaking about Mike's cousin.   :'(
  Darn near killed me to do that to Mom. But the law here wouldn't let me keep her with us at home even with Medicare approved nursing and all.
I hate 'nursing homes' and would rather die and rot in my own house instead. Jim too.   ;)

Oldguy I have sometime before tuning in for the night and will view Genius of the Keyboard.

PUFF   That was Lucy's favorite spot on the tree skirt.  Wonder if Lulu will choose that as well.  I'm thinking not as she like to be up high.

WEASEL   Oh my GOSH  What an adventure!!  I'm sure this is through a tour - maybe about 3 weeks?  Do you know how many there will be in the group?   Now you will have us on pins and needles waiting for a follow-up report - You let the cat out of the bag  ;D ;D ;D

KB  Big expense to keep it and you have to weigh against how much you use it every year?  Figure an average cost/yr.  If you sold it - You could figure the extra money from the sale and the savings in start up/close and yearly electricity.  Big math project  LOLOL    Like LISA said - you will know the right thing to do.

PHYL   My mom and dad said no nursing home so that is what we did and hired live- in help.  When they both died at age 90 I remember their doc saying to me on the phone when I called him after my Mom died ( 5 yrs after my dad)   "They never would have lived that long in the nursing home".....We ran through all their savings and we had about $30,000 left. after about 10 years of caregivers.

BAZI   Cat getting tips from Gordon Ramsey  LOL   Hope you enjoyed your afternoon  :)

Well we never got the rain last night and into the AM and the sun came out mid AM Pretty nice day in the 50's and very windy.  Tim wanted to clear leaves but not worth it.

You have all been busy bees all day!  Buzzing around here, your jomes and stores!
Weather wise we have had a misty, sometimes gentle rain for about three days but nothing today but clouds!  75 and will be as high as 76 with a cool down Wednesday!  Even so, No Shorts!
Weasel, Happy Thanksgiving and I am sending wishes fir a great trip!
Neighbors next door (new) are taking the fence , between out yards down and putting up a new one!  I had asked them to let me know so U could make arrangements for Piper. Ut, No!   I find out today at noon!  Stalked them until Monday but no luck with day care as it is a holiday week and everyone is full!   It will be fun to try to walk her!  She is known to slip a harness and collar! Always fun to have new challenges and experiences!
I searched Publix for single pecan or pumpkin pie a few days ago and found no e!  Googled Winn Dixie and viola!  They showed .edwards with Pecan!  Ordered it. 2 for One and now have two full sized pecan pies!   One will go home with the help Monday!  Would not have ordered this brand if I had known it was a whole pie!

The little cows are very cute but I do not know what is to be gained form all this messing with genetics!  People will not be able to keep them like the little pigs, dogs, cats, etc!
Love the stories of the cats and the Christmas trees!  Waiting for more reports!
Lisa, lovely fall picture today!

Lani enjoyed  dance tinikling video,  Dan did that once while stationed there in 1970s-

Oldguy all the best at cards; QKids- ;)  ; really enjoyed the dance videos;  absolutely never heard  distinctive Mongolian Throat Singer Bukhu!
watched Genius of the Keyboard . WOW!  Tks

Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; Linda and Ian, My  Alter prayer list
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Mickey Mouse Day
Celebrating the iconic character with round ears and a big smile — the symbol of a famous theme park and beloved cartoons.

Minnie Mouse’s Birthday
That iconic polka-dotted, bow-rocking character who's the perfect partner for some theme park fun and a dash of cartoon nostalgia.

Housing Day
Appreciating the simple comforts of a warm, safe shelter is a reminder of life's blessings and the importance of gratitude.

Good Morning Beakers! It's CATURDAY!

31 right now, high 62 today. Hight in the 40's after a 60 high tomorrow.

tsk, my folks said early on that they would never expect any of us girls to take care of them, this was after they saw what it did to my Grandmother when she tried to take care of her mother. It was really hard on her, it was then that Mom & Dad got long term care insurance. Mom has help three days a week right now and can get more as needed. She has the stairlifts but she isn't even using them yet (she does use then to send the laundry basket down to the washer, etc) and she just turned 89. We just go on like she's not getting older! We girls do try to space our visits out so we can be sure she is doing well.

Phyl, oh my, Bella would love those cat chairs! Oh the look on that cat's face with the opossum! I think Harley would be cat screaming and the hair on his back would be up full force! 

oldguy, those dances wore me out! Loved the I want Crazy!

Lani, now I want to go to Home Goods again...but not until Monday! It is in the big bunch of stores around the Jordan Creek Town Center, which is a mall surrounded by many other stores! It's crazy out there, especially on the weekends!

Weasel, you will have a wonderful time on your fantastic trip! Hope to see pictures when you return!

baz, love the cat learning to make biscuits! And you had a good walk!

Got a call from nr yesterday, she was at the hospital close to me, a fractured toe and wrist from a fall in the parking lot of her apartment complex. I picked her up and drove her home, she has a boot and a lower arm brace!

Kitten update: The kittens we were going to get, well, they were stolen! The guy called Erin, said he was in the hospital and the gal that was renting his basement and helping him took the mother cat and kittens. Gone. So Erin found another batch, I think he is enjoying being the one that is in charge of the 'Siamese kitten search'! These won't be ready until around the first of the year at the earliest. And she doesn't know the color points yet, probably next week. Here is a picture of a couple of them. She sent videos but I don't know how to post!

Phyl - Thanks for Banana Nut Breakfast cookie recipe, 365, and DOTY. 

baz -  I wish Misty would make me some biscuits!  ;D  Video is too cute!

tsk - I didn't think we were supposed to get any rain, but the front walk was wet when I went out this morning.  Jeff says, thanks!

karen - Sorry about the fence situation.  Thanks for kind words on morning pic.  :)

E4E - Love your cozy evening pic. 

oldguy - Many thanks for the videos.

tig - Jeff says, thanks!

clynn - Oh no, sorry about the kittens, but at least Erin found some more for you.  Did you have to put a deposit down on the others already that were stolen?  Sorry to hear about nr, hope she has a speedy recovery!

Ta Da! - I fixed my hood over stove light!..by myself.
I happened to catch a "life hack" video this morning comprised of heating with a lighter the end of a plastic water bottle..stick it up there and turn. It turned!..then I could grab it with my needle nose plier and it's out and a new light bulb is in!...didn't tighten so hard this time either.

My thinking on my jacuzzi is to do a sorta scientific experiment. It's now empty, off, with lots of plastic covering it and a form of antifreeze protecting the parts. I'm supposed to buy like an outdoor couch cover over it next spring for more water protection and it will last turned off through more than one winter if I want. It's 57 dollars on amazon.

Then, the next year, I'll open it up in spring, use it and leave it running all winter at a lower temperature, no "winterizing" it at all.

Then I'll compare gas/electric bills for the two years and see if I don't mind not using it or want it on and it's not that expensive?

Of course next spring I could totally change my mind, LOL

Morning all....I'm just so excited about my own fix had to share.

Off to grocery shop now.

Bottom line: I get life hack twitter videos/feeds every day and they all are quite amazing actually. continue silly.

Need to look for next project life hack: fix the fan/light over dining room table that "lost it's pull chain"

Also... the only time I could safely use a hot tub would be in the winter, because of my low blood pressure. I wonder if they make a deep version that I could use for exercise? Salt water tub. Tee hee.

Tig - You have a fun day planned today - enjoy!

Clynn - Sorry to hear about Nr's fall - hope she is not in a lot of discomfort - so nice of you to have picked her up and took her home after her treatment.        Oh no-unbelievable about the siamese Mama and kittens - so sad about them getting stolen. :o ::)   Good for Erin in how he keeps searching and sounds like he has found some more Siamese! :)

Good Caturday Morning!  Going to 76!   Think I already said this!
The Ukranian Dance wasamazing!  Seems like a combonation of tge Hira and a
Russian dance plus a little more!  I was thinking of tge beakers with bad knees and or backs trying this dance! Wiw!   We could allget a ward in a rehab facility!

Clynn!  Amazing about the kitty theft following the egg theft of the royal As.  People are greedy and stupid!  They need to be jailed!
The right kitties will come your way!

The new neighbor offered to walk Piper, but I do not think that is an option!  They do not know each other and she did not alert me to the fence building project even though I  had asked her to do so!  My helper can walk her.   My vet is too busy with her business!   She is the owner operator of a dog training’s , day care and boarding facility.  Exceedingly busy over holiday  seasons.   Anyway, it is only a day, if things go as expected and I will get over this!   

Off to do a few chores!  Have a good day!

TIG   Jersey Mikes is a good idea.  Our Jersey Mikes does fund raisers like that for the schools and other organizations in town too.

CLYNN    LOLOL  " When you've heard the same story...."  ;D ;D ;D    Your Mom and Dad had a good plan and now Mom is reaping the benefits!!   I saw that post of NR's fall on FB.  Did not know she had fxs.  So good of you to help her out.  Can she manage alone?    WOW  What a story about the kittens being stolen.  Nice renter  ::) ::) :o   But everything happens for a reason...Xmas will be over and done and may be a calmer time to introduce new kitties.  :D   Glad to hear Erin is "accepting the Mission Impossible challenge"  LOL    Gorgeous black eagle.

KB   AMEN  Halleluiah!!  You did it and should be proud!   If you go on Youtube and key in your problem - there are tons of ways to do things - Maybe the fan repair?

LANI   Love the cat at the counter   ;D

OLDGUY   Good b-day greeting for Jeff  ;D

KAREN   Yes, they had a very nice vet down there esp since they were down there 5-6 mo out of a year.

T40   The cat and the watermelon  ;D ;D    Singing cat - better than many people  ::)  LOL

Double change in plans. Everybody and their brothers showed up for church. We made the executive decision to watch online tomorrow to hear how many thousand came tonight.
And we decided to use a gift card for Burger Moe's because we were not thrilled with the Jerseys menu.
We had to talk our way into the parking lot because they are charging $20 for event parking tonight due to the Eagles concert nearby.

Happy Caturday, Beakers!  :)


It's late, and my eyelids are drooping... but I got a chance to catch up on everyone's posts - lots of news and reports from all!  :)

Clynn, that's awful news about everything with the Siamese kitties and their owner!  I'm glad Erin found some others... cute picture of them. I guess you're busy getting ready for your family Thanksgiving get-together and feast at your house tomorrow. Enjoy!


I walked 54 minutes today. It was a really pretty and warm, sunny day with a nice breeze.  I walked to a path in some woods that leads to the kayak launch, at the cypress marsh that feeds into the intracoastal waterway, and on to the nearby river. It's a very pretty and peaceful place.  I got a 4-bluebird escort along my return walk home!  They flitted from rooftop to rooftop for about 3 houses as I walked along and past, and then they stayed put as I kept going. They are so fun!  :D :-*

Well, groupies, my big idea didn't pan out. 

Local news reports said the meteor shower would be in the dark skies to the east.  I kept flipping through our cam captures, especially from N1 pointed east, hoping to see any sign of a meteor tail.  Other cams at NN and Flyway just were not aimed in the right view I guess.  It was certainly dark enough.  Well then I picked things up again this morning, N1 cams still pointed toward sunrise.  Lots and lots of bug trails - that's all I saw, and now it got lighter.  NN view and late night N1 view were directly into the bole.  Nothing to see that way.   >:(

Did anyone see anything ala RRP camera surveillance?

baz, thanks for the wake up music! I baked my pies last night, peeled the potatoes (sweet and regular) and have them in water in the fridge. Green bean casserole, easy peasy. Small veg tray, done. Turkey breast and small ham won't take long!  Kings Hawiian rolls. Macaroni and cheese. Make some whipped cream. That's all! They will be here around noonish.  Love the Joe Kaplow song! And you had a great walk!

Lani, sweet sleeping cat... Glad I'm not the only one who now wonders what BL was telling us... :o  I worry too about the Mama cat the gal stole. I am sure she stole the kittens to sell... a despicable person for sure....

Phyl, we were going to pay the deposit when we went to see the kittens last Wednesday. That is the day she took them, he was in the hospital on Tuesday evening. His place is in town. The kittens we are working on now are in Wisconsin, a five hour drive, but she is a very reputable breeder. Ed said he will go and pick them up! Expecting some pictures today!  Love that Vogue cat!  Interesting picture of Yarrow 7! Thanks for Amy's Blog!  33 right now, high 60 for today!

Lisa, how was that coconut cream pie? I made a French Coconut pie last night, Erin's favorite. And Jeff got to eat at the Fisherman's Inn!

Lori, good to see you, you always come through with the goodies for the Birthdays!

Mornin' Phyl

Yes I did see the lineup you posted two (?) days ago.  Nice capture of person.  We had perfect clear skies both Friday and last night.  It wasn't a full moon but it was clear and bright.  When the moon moved out of the view I thought for sure there would be some action to be seen.  Turned off TV and opened drapery - still nothing.  I guess we just wait for the next opportunity.

Enjoy the cool day.

Oh my word you've been a busy chef! It all sounds so delicious. I hope y'all have a wonderful celebration and time together.

tsk - Tested my blood sugar 2 hours after eating the dinner out, and it was 154.  I was like, that is good enough for me to have that pie.  ;D

Phyl - Jeff says, thanks!  Misty does not people food, thank goodness.  We have offered her different things, she sniffs it and walks away.  Bandit loves people food and turkey.   Oh gosh no, not a whole pie...a slice was brought home.   :D

kb - I did have a great day with Jeff.  I bought him some items for his Weber grill for his birthday.  I got him a full size griddle for his grill.

baz - Jeff says, thanks!

E4E - Jeff says, thanks!

Lani - Yes, dinner was delicious.  For starters, I had a cup of Cream of Crab soup and Jeff had Asian inspired Rockfish bites.  For meal, I had Jumbo fried shrimp and Jeff had baked flounder stuffed with crab imperial.

Speaking of cats y'all brought back tales of my namesake Puff (aka Puff the beast).

My first quick recall was about the time I had the turkey soaking in the sink full of water.  I walked into the kitchen and found him with his fangs deeply embedded in the backbone of the bird.  Once the bird was roasted the holes and the ripped skin was not at all noticeable.   ;D

Then there's the pumpkin pie issue - not pumpkin pie itself, it was the whipped cream.  I swear on a stack of bibles he knew the sound of the cap being popped off the can of the whipped cream.  By the time the fridge door closed he was meowing at your feet.

Then there was the time I came back into kitchen and found Puff with my entire fried trout on the floor munching away!  "What didn't make this for me"?  Threw it out; I wasn't going to eat it and he sure wasn't going to be treated.

Last story - a tale of the holiday season.  So many ways of getting into trouble. .
While most of my makings were in the backroom I learned to "hide" goodies back there.  I also learned to close the door to keep my whiskered friend from tasting, especially the cookies.  Came home from work at one time to find a trail of vomitted pecans down the hallway carpet.  He got to a bag, ripped it open, and finished at least half the bag.  Now I had to clean the carpet, go shopping for nuts, and vacuum the back room.  All because I forgot to make sure the door clicked shut.  Ah, but wait. . .it was soon after that as I was seated in the kitchen
that there was a noise ????  What he heck??  It was Puff who had learned that if he grabbed/hit the gold handle thing his weight would then also open the door.

Puff the beast - what a character, also sometimes known as the smart a$$.

Clynn, Oh my, you've been a busy mama! Your family is in for a feast today! The last pie I want before I go to Rainbow Bridge will be a French Coconut Cream pie with my homemade chocolate syrup drizzled on the top. The O'Keefe & Merritt stove is awesome! If I won the lottery I'd cook on that! Vintage available for $6000.00 on Etsy. Awesome job by the kindergarten class. Great idea. Have a lovely Thanksgiving with your family today!  ;D :-*

Puff, we had clouds last night. And I didn't think to check the cams like you and Phyl.

Phyl, love the background sounds on the nature vid.... thanks for RRP update on Amy's Goldens... pretty sunrise over Flyaway and from GSB... I will never forget about the mama cat/kittens. Once I read something upsetting it doesn't leave me.  :'(. ... great pic from Yarrow 7.

Mike returned with a sore lower back from a Costco run in Scottsdale yesterday. He could barely move again. I warned him to get another spinal shot asap, due to the traveling and because he was overdo. But, he always toughens things out. He's better today with a couple of aleve in him. Hopefully, he can get approval for another shot before Thanksgiving. But, I'm not hopeful about that for him. Maybe doctor can give him a cortisone shot or something to help.  Talons crossed for my Scorpio.

Good afternoon !  Going to 75 today and sunny!   Great weather!  No crackling fires here, Bl, Or fleece!
Piper alerted me , yesterday that the neighbors were installing their Christmas blow ups on the yard!   She added to last year’s display at an early black Friday sale at big Lots!   
Baz, you were up very early, very late or just could not sleep   Great walking!

Lisa, sounds like a great lunch/dinner .  I miss having a place that has stuffed flounder!  Do not even see it for sale here!   Wonderful blood pressure!
Clynn, I am guessing you are almost ready  to have dinner!  I know it will be wonderful!
 Sorry about Mikes back but understand why he delays gettingthe shot!  I need one but will have to stop hesitating!  The long term results are much better than a fre minutes discomfort!

The flowers in The sidewalk crack are wonderful!  I have a place where I may try that!

clynn - Pie was delish, and your pie sounds delish, too!  Love that stove.  I agree with tsk, you are an efficient dinner maker!

BL - LOL, the Constable.

tig -  Do you know how long the encampment has been there?

Lani - Oh no....hope Mike can be seen soon and get another shot.  Prayers for him!

karen - Wow, I thought flounder would be available down there.  Awww, Piper alerting you on the blow-up decorations.

Nope. It can't be seen from where we are. I was told by a neighborhood leader. Not sure how many tents nor people. She said the city and county disagree on ownership. Could be interesting.
Off to brunch. I hear a couple eggs and a blueberry pancake calling.
I've been cleaning the kitchen this morning. I'll finish tomorrow.

OH LANI   Someone is really getting creative with photoshop  LOLOL     Maybe this time, daily use of the Aleve will be enough.  If not, sure hope he can get an appt sooner and not later.

KAREN   We have a Big Lots across the street in another mall from our mall with the TJ Max and Home Goods and Michaels.  Big Lots mall has a Land's end and a Hobby Lobby  LOL   Rosalyn  RIP   She and Jimmy are long lived. He might not last much longer now... :'(

LISA   Somehow I missed your AM post.  I wondered if you were going to take your blood sugar after that wonderful indulgence - Not bad results  ;) ;)  Perfect gifts for Jeff.   Lulu does not eat people food either.  Your meals sounded great.

Karen many thanks for posting about one of this nation's dearest First Ladies. 
Hope you had a pleasant afternoon.

Lani I'm the same about anything regarding animals---esp cats.    Prayers hopeing Mike gets some relief soon---I sure can empathize with my spine and hip/knee issue.
I've been thinking about seeing my rheumatologist for some injections myself. It's been years and I can hardly move my knees to get jean or leggings on while dressing.  Best wishes for your Scorpio from this Virgo.

BL I pretty much understood your post. But like I usually do---got to thinking 'what if I'm wrong'?  So I shorten my comment. Turns out I did okay.  This time. that is.

Tig what sort of 'encampment'---outdoors folks camping or a  tent meeting and the 'like'? Do we need to be concerned for you /Camper?

Puff tks for sharing your kitty 'Puff' memories; 

Tsk your AM turkey looks great---hope mine looks as tasty.  ;D I was thinking the same about the 'nun's . Is that a deer in a Domican habit?

Lisa those cinnamon rolls are too tempting. I made breakfast sandwiches this AM and we had some of the Raspberry danish Jim brought home for our
weekend. My mom made the best cinnamon rolls, ever.  :-*

Phyl, great picture of the man and dog shopping for snacks in the fridge!

kb, love the baby ellie video, he was having so much fun!

tsk, yes, I am thinking the same as you, Jimmy may not last much longer without Rosalyn. They were so close. Reminds me of my Great Grandparents, she had been going downhill for several months, my Grandma and her sister Ruth were taking care of her. He was fine, still living in their home. She passed away on a Friday evening at Aunt Ruth's home and my Grandma had taken him to the hospital Saturday morning, he was having trouble breathing. He passed away 17 hours after her, he never knew that his wife of 62 years had passed away. It was a double funeral. He was just waiting for her, I wonder if that is what Jimmy has been doing...

Puff, your story of Puff with his claws in the turkey, I pictured in my mind Puff on the turkey's back, riding him like a horse! It sounds like he was a character!  Still laughing about the trail of pecans...

Lani, I would love to mail you a piece of French Coconut Pie! Hope Mike's back is better today!

If you need to soften butter quickly but don't want to MELT it, put boiling hot water in a heatproof glass to heat it. Dump the water out and flip it over your stick of butter. In a few minutes it will be perfectly soft to use! You're welcome.

This is holiday humor from KAREN  ;) ;) ;D

BAD PARROT

 A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a
bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
 
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with
 profanity.

 John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he
 could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.

 Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot
 yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even
 more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird
 and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and
 kicked and screamed..
 
Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a
 minute.

 Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms
 and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and> actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do  everything I can to correct my rude and
 unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change
 in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly,

 "May I ask what the turkey did?"

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Good morning!   Cloudy/foggy today with a high of 78!  Currently 63!  Got up early to get Piper out before the fence demolition begins and she begrudenly stood on the patio and came back in complaining that she doesn't like to get up  much before 9!  Thats my girl!

Yesterday I spent the day fighting  dizziness!   Seems to be gone this morning so probably not vertigo.  Always something!

Have errands to do today.  Need new fuses for my small christmas tree for the front porch!  Got some from Ace but they are too big! Hobby Lobby has smaller ones, Per the internet!

Ordered a faux boxwood sitting dog(lab) wearing a Christmas ribbon ,bow at the neck for my door.  I am really a traditionalist person but I have a quirky streak!  Do have a wreath for the gate and have other thing I am tired of!   Do have a multicolored red and green christmas balls wreath for over the fireplace.  Ordered two of the dog swags one for me and one for the vet!   She can use it at home or her business!   Should be fun!

Finally got Piper out!  What a girl!


You girls maybe right about Jimmy following Roslyn but I am hoping he will live until his 100th birthday!   My wish, maybe not his!

Good pictures of your holiday celebration. Clynn!  The kids look happy.  The kittie sure look alert!  The Wisconsin babies?

tsk, Erin's left arm tat is all about Manchester United, the English Soccer team he has been crazy over since he was a youngster. His right arm is all about family, the Holy Bible, a Rosary and such. Maybe I will take pics of his arms next time he is here! Inquiring minds want to know, and I can't exactly remember everything! I think there are 7 kittens, just not all in the picture. She also sends videos, and I can see all 7, but I just don't know how to post them!

karen, funny story about the parrot! 44 here now, high 50 and overcast, supposed to get rain. In other words, a dreary day.  You have Piper tuned into your sleeping schedule now! She has such a personality! Yes, those are the kittens in Wisconsin.

Have never seen that kitchen hack with butter before. I just leave it out ahead of time or like Tsk use the microwave.  Learn something every day.  ;)
Agree Harley seen too much Maru.  Really cool trash receptical idea on the beach.  Oh that walrus's reaction to his fishy birthday 'cake'..how cute.
 Those are darliing kittens  :-* You have 7 to choose from... Male to female ratio?  So adorable---  How many are you going to adopt?

Tsk   Thinking the same about the Carters...agree many stories just like theirs.

Karen that parrot joke is a riot! Thanks.  Piper is so funny. Enjoy the stories about her. Hopefully your dizzieness was a fluke...like maybe getting up too fast from bending over or sitting down or turning too fast.

Exciting morning here:

I was sitting on my couch looking out my front window when Mr. Tower was incoming!...He landed in the road in front of my/and neighbor's home. Grabbed some road kill and literally was only inches off the ground in front of my driveway, carrion in hand, and then lifted pretty quickly straight down the road to my south.

I jumped up so fast to grab my phone camera, I spilled my thermos filled with water/ice and only got 1 of 2 clicks to get a rather "terrible" pic of him.
However, I got a great video clip saved of him flying by from my camera.
Chris doesn't allow me to share and therefore I don't know how to share it. Plus videos aren't allowed in the Beak room without converting them to some video app? you tube for example.

He's in the road right behind my chicken wire fence surrounding my arborvitae.

Whew, fun times!

If you double click pic to enlarge him, he's looking straight at me in my living room

Finally...
Bluebird Update

As I said in my bluebird thread...
I am so sorry these are late  as we've had walking pneumonia. Plus, our washing machine developed issues in it's 'mother board' and wouldn't
shut-off the water during wash and rinse cycles. The result was a laundery room flooded with about 2" of rinse water that wicked  2' into our carpeted hall.
However, all that is behind us now.

tsk - Indeed i did figure it out with the help of google.

One would think, and I tried multiple times on my comcast remote, entering the menu and going to audio and picking English and SAP change to English to no result. English is my default and all channels are in English but some football games. Google says the Broadcasters of NFL are required to broadcast in English and Spanish, so not their fault and to try above if you encounter this issue.

In one of the pull down google questions I noticed multiple people are having this issue.
Far down one said to push the comcast DOWN button while on the channel you are watching and scroll left and there it was a SAP icon to click along with others and it wasn't in English so I switched it and voila.
I have no idea why this happens. I don't accidentally push something on my remote either. LOL

Now I am going to check one channel that doesn't have any audio at all on my tv and try the same. Probably not the same issue.

Reminds me not to be too hesitant to try lots of different things on puter and most electronics for that matter.

Trying something New this year. I just finished raking errant leaves and dropped grass seed on bare areas front and back.

UofM extension Service speaks about this. Ideally I need 2 inches of snow to fall on top of it. Nowhere in sight right now or near future. However, soil needs to be NOT frozen when dropping seed and our temps are getting awful darn cold coming up.
If it doesn't work, oh well, I'll buy more seed like I do anyway every year. I didn't over-seed good grass for dormant seeding, just bare areas.
Another Science experiment for me. I'm sure all properties and conditions are different, so we shall see.

I was reminded why I'm diligent about picking up leaves!...One tends or rather almost always steps on dog poo if leaves not picked up! cause you can't see it..

I overdid it standing in the kitchen to clean yesterday. I took an anti-inflammatory pill. It helped. The pool felt good this a.m.

KB - I have tried that "over-seeding before snow" in the past and have had good results... even without raking first.

Hmmm. A length of wood we had near our garage is missing. I'm wondering if it ended up with the folks in the woods?

LOL, love the "attack" by the Malinois.

Good to hear dormant seeding has been good for you. I'm crossing my fingers too. I not only rake for seeding but to prevent stepping on dog poo.....It's inevitable for me, but only with leaves on the ground.
Hope your wood wasn't stolen, :(

Today marks 5 years since my Dad passed away at age 87.  He is always in my heart.

We had a busy, but a good weekend.  Our Grandson spent Saturday here and then we went to dinner and he spent the night.  Then yesterday (Sunday) morning, I made a nice breakfast of bacon, eggs & pancakes and we watched some football together, then took him home. 

Please bear with me as I try to catch up here in the Beak.

Clynn - You were very organized for your Sunday Thanksgiving meal with your family!  It is good to get as much done ahead of time as possible, so that you have more time for visiting & enjoying your family!    Just read that you all had a great family day yesterday and love the pics (wish there were more)!  Wow-Talon has a birthday this Sunday - so nice you all sang happy birthday to him ahead of time!
Lol! Harley trying to get into a small box.  Sweet pics of the most recent kittens. :)     I hope that man whose renter stole his mama cat & kittens filed a police report.
Great idea with the 'Fish' receptacle at the beach to hold all those plastic bags!

Phyl - Sounds like a good music radio station you listen to!  Noisy crows on 365 this morning. ;)   Great Bluebird pictures!!

BL - Thank you for a little more explanation on your being over in the Catskills and Fire-wising and having some time with friends! :)

Puff - Love those recollections & stories of your Puff the Beast! ;D

Lani - Hope Mike's Back is feeling better now and hope he can get the shot he needs!    Love the 'Pilgrim' costumed dogs!!  Reminds me of Williwaw and her Ivy! ;D

Kb - Cute vid of baby elephant playing.    How exciting to see Mr. Tower!  You did good with getting a picture!!   Great job in figuring out your 'English' situation with your TV!!  Google is so helpful.

Tsk - Like the humor from Karen 'bad parrot'! ;D

Tig - Cute 'puppy dog' vid!  Hope the anti-inflammatory is helping.   

Beakers have a nice day.

kb - Cute lil ellie!

Phyl - Cute Thanksgiving figurines.  Thanks for 365.

clynn - Yes, love that butter tip!   :D  Great pic of your Thanksgiving with the munchkins and family.  Are they going to visit family in Florida or Disney?  The kitties are adorable.

tsk - Thanks for the holiday humor from karen.  ;D

kb - Great pic of Mr Towers!

Lani - How is Mike today?  Cute morning pic.  ;D

Good Evening Beakers

We are getting 'some' precipt this afternoon, but so far not measurable - radar looks promising, but will see.

It is Thanksgiving week - so it gets busy at work starting tomorrow - 2 days to get everything Black Friday on the floor.

Still no lava appearance in Iceland, but they are getting a major influx of magma in to the 4-5 km below surface chambers/fractures - this has increased the number of earthquakes again and rapid lift of surface near the power plant.

Been working on some maintenance items around the house the past few days - still have some items left, but all inside.

The cards were very good Sat. night won 3 out of 3   :o

I love this season!  I mean I really LOVE all the traditions and reasons for going all out.  There is a delay of a couple day because of weather, but that can be worked around and through.

I can't recall who it was who listed some of her "necessities" she puts out and up.  I have 6 or 7 storage boxes in the garage just for Christmas and just for outside decor.  Inside there's my house specials waiting in various nooks and crowded.  So many memories and meanings in all.  Inside are - oh I can't list them all here or I'll still posting in January.  Going along with things #1 biggest  would have to be the Christmas tree in the rec room from those who have gifted and even made for me.  I love the small monk ornament my nephew made for us using a filbrant nut and his grandpa's electric drill (big deal for him).  Ornaments are things people have made and/or bought, lots of Anna Lee.  My fun additional thing has been to bring back an ornament from the places I've traveled, states and country.  I can't and won't keep talking about the tree--except to mention that Tony did the tree and lights.  Don't touch the ornaments, if you want to you can sit and listen to my dialog about each one as I hang it.  Usually he walked away as I started to cry, which I am doing now.  Along with #1 I have maybe 8 other smaller trees through the rooms.  Upstair on its own lighted pedestal is my mini tree with its likewise mini ornament collection.  My niece comes to help hang the glittery white snow flakes on the front of black velvet drapery panels.   Wreaths (5) hanging from doors, fireplace, walls, doors.  Can't forget my lady! Aunt Jo bought two raffle tickets at bingo, one I had asked her to get for me, please!  The one she handed to me was the winner.  About 30 years ago I became the guardian Madonna (the Lady) and Jesus, handcarved alabaster from Italy.  Each time I unfurl her from their fabric I think of Aunt Jo, since passed on, and how much fun she was.  Tears again.

Maybe, as someone suggested, I should write a book.  And, I'm going to mention someone (I don't remember who) gave me the itch to just mention all the collections I have to change things with the seasons/holidays.  Who were you?  Likewise I have linens kitchen and bath, center pieces, collections AnnaLee and Beanie Babies, coasters/placemats/napkins, knicknacks, lighted mini ornament trees, mugs and serving dishes, window displays/floral designs.  Hey listen, I've now bored you enough.  That's all - just remember it's only 8 rooms, no storage cuz downstairs is all finished, garage has only room for outdoor stuff, no outside storage shed.  I'm an expert stower of the goods. 

Honest admission of my collection of all this special stuff in my world today.  Thank God for my niece, neighbors, and friends.  They help at various times with various things.  The street's newest (2 yrs) couple across the street, Kelly and Adam came running up the drive asking to help with outside lights and stuff.  Looks like Wednesday and/or Friday due to holiday and weather.  It is truly a blessed holiday and a blessed group of neighbors.  I've already had Michael take out and garage the patio umbrella, Paul moved four urns in backyard to patio so I could tarp them over, Jordan is on call to bring hose/reel into garage.  Unbelieveable, super neighbors!

OK - I cede the forum back to its owners.  Didn't even get to overseeding topic.  ::)

Eagles, sorry to hear about your father passing so close to Thanksgiving.  My mother died on July 4th!   Not a favorite holiday for me.

Fence is up and I hare it!  The rules call for 6 feet or less and I have an 8 foot wall!   Feel closed in!   Air For e y  are usually rule followers but these two are not!  I have a call in to the landscapers to put some landscaping timbers for the base of the fence!  Most fence panels are dog eared but these are just pieces of lumber.  Not attractive.

Have vertigo again!  Got a treatment today and will go back Monday for a recheck!

PUFF   I was going to mention you need to hire a crew to decorate for Xmas but reading on I see a wonderful neighborhood crew that will do just that.  You must be an amazing stower as I can't imagine where you put everything LOL

KAREN  We have a code in out town - No fences ( backyard) higher than 6'  If your town has a code - You could complain.
  What is the material of the fence - all wood? so that you cannot see through it?

Yes, the boards are close together, no light comes thru!  Problem is there is no hoa here, having been voted down ao I am not sure who enforces this!  The developer did the enforcing before he turned it over to the property owners who refused to assume responsibility.  Not sure I want to be the tattle tale!   Have to think on this and talk to some folks!

Oldguy - I knew you'd get 'em next time and you did;  you got 3 out of 3!!!!

Puff - Lots of wonderful memories {{Puff}} and precious keepsakes.

Karen - Thank you so much.  That year, my cousin invited us over to her house (2.25 hr drive, but completely worth it) and she & her husband cooked Thanksgiving dinner and we spent a couple of nights there.     Understandable how July 4th is not a good holiday for you - so sorry for your Mom passing - especially on such a celebratory holiday.  Hugs for you too.

Clynn, great pics of the Munchkins and Erin and Sydney. Fun times, good eats, and a birthday party with Thanksgiving dinner! Sounds good to me!  :D

Karen, your town's planning and building permit issuers would probably be the ones to enforce fence building codes and rules. Your Christmas decorations sound festive!

Puff, nice neighbors!

Phyl, good pics of your bluebirds.

Tig, yum on your Chinese meal.

Lani, I'm watching the Kelce Bowl, er, I mean, the Chiefs/Eagls game. One minute left.  :(

Tsk, I saw a weather report that made it look like you might have some icy roads in the morning. Watch where you step, too!

Lisa, it sounds like you and Jeff had a yummy birthday dinner at the great seafood place.

Lisa, Eagles, Mike is back feeling as he did before he received his shot a year ago. I wish he hadn't waited so long. He can't see a doctor until the 7th, and after an MRI. Then he needs to get permission from insurance for the shot. He's wearing a back brace and its slowing going right now.

Oldguy, Congrats on the cards! I really enjoyed watching "Military Thanksgiving" I'm surprised about Eisenhower's order during the war.... my step-father was a cook on a Naval submarine in late 50's to 60's, then became Head Chef at Pearl Harbor Mess Hall. I gotta say, I'm sure the sailors were happy he didn't use that cookbook... his Thanksgiving dinners were the best! ... Praying for the Iceland residents.... our Milo is like George  ;D ... Thanks for videos of Queen, Petersons... Cassowary is a beautiful bird.

{{{Puff}}} Thank you for sharing with us. You have good friends and neighbors.  :)

{{{Karen}}} I can understand July 4th would be difficult.... The last time I talked to my mother was Mother's Day 1998.... we have building codes. Does your neighborhood have one for fence height? I just read your post to Tsk. I understand your concern.

Lani those dogs in festive costume are a hoot! A keeper for a regular this time of year. Makes me think of Willie

{{Karen}} glad you get treatment for your vertigo---mine , BPPV, never goes a way.  That stinks having a fence that high . They must 'like' their privacy.
Please becareful with your neighbors it could get 'messy'. Hate for you to get troubles.

Oldguy congrats on the cards;  the volcano in Iceland is all over the news, especially FNC . They report daily and have a reporter on site with coverage.
Tks for the videos will check out later.  ;)

Lani not good news for Mike's back. I'm sorry for his suffering  Hoping he can get some relief very soon. Sending prayers .

Puff enjoyed reading about your memories and all.

Good Morning Beakers!

Phyl, enjoyed your pics of the Cane Ridge Bluebirds! I am always amazed at how you recognize them! They really love the home you and Jim have provided for them! Oh that chicken lamp! How clever that the bulb is the egg! I had to look up NES (Nashville Electric Service)! Wonder what the problem was?  Heavy rain? A heavy melting snow in the Alps! Your beef stew looks delish! I haven't made stew for a long time, Mom used to make it often!

Lani, oh no on Mike, the back is such a tricky place for issues! I hope he can get another shot soon! Sounds like your stepfather was a good cook, did he cook at home too? I wish Ed cooked! I envy women whose husbands cook!  We are getting two kittens! Can't wait, just worrying a bit about how Harley will take it! Might take a while, but we got Max and Emma as kittens after we lost Bogey. Beanie adjusted to them after a week or so of caution... then they all three cuddled together!

baz, love your Autumn walk picture, beautiful! Still chuckling about Zippo's reaction to karen's joke! LOLOL!

BL, I so agree, nothing quite like a sunny walk through the rustling leaves with a bit of a nip in the air!  Santana is playing right now...thanks!

karen, wow, an 8' tall fence! I looked up the City code: According to the City of Valdosta Land Development Regulations, fences in Valdosta shall be a minimum of 6 feet and maximum of 8 feet in height and constructed of standard wood or masonry fencing materials, which will provide at least 90% visual blockage. Maybe you could have a mural painted on your side!

Puff, it sounds like you have a wonderful collection of Christmas decor, I would love to see it after you get everything done! Maybe some pictures? I used to do a lot more than I do now, but I still do a good bit! We used to have two trees, a real one in the living room with all the metal ornaments, and an artificial skinny one in the family room with all the other ornaments. I loved sitting in the living room with the beautiful smell of the tree. A book detailing all of your travel experiences would be something wonderful! My Mom has been working on documenting her life and travels, I know we will enjoy reading it long after she is gone...

E4E,  my Dad passed away five years ago on October 10th. He was also 87...  Yes, always in our hearts ...

oldguy, congrats on winning all 3 games! Great video on the Military Thanksgiving! You are going to be very busy for the next several weeks! Love those sweet cat nannies... and George the difficult Bengal...

tsk, yes, Erin loves explaining his tats!

CLynn right you are that our loved ones never truly leave us.
I'am so glad you enjoyed the bluebirds yesterday.  Anymore, I really have to keep good notes and my thread in 'Other Bird Cams and Information'
helps me do that.
You're morning greetings are great today, esp the last two.
NES was probably doing some work over here as some new housing is being built and laying lines and what all.  I likely didn't use the correct term---but the breaks in service weren't long although lots of them  in succession. The longest was when we were eating dinner---by flashlight and batterycandles.  And, not a drop on the white table cloth.  ;D
That's a great Christmas window display for the The Prairie Press  in Albion, IL.
Please keep us posted once you get the kittens on how Harley gets on and all.   Thanks for the extra info for Karen

Karen I'm a gal that loves fences and privacy at that. But, if it's  8 ft high---even I'd fume over that .  CLynn's got a good suggestion with a 'mural'.
Hope you doing better w/ your vertigo today. Take care.  ;)

That brings up a couple traditions in this "home for the holidays"  clynn.
We decided a long time back to switch from a natural tree to artificial.  Seemed anti legitimate.  Did it for two sensible reasons.  First, I have a definite schedule in having the tree.  As the seasons lined up, exactly a week apart it's Christmas, New  Year, and my birthday.  Never took down tree before my birthday, 1/8.  Secondly, we got into a fun routine of taking a break (aka trip) usually covering New Years and my BD.  The iffy condition there was leaving a rather dried out fire hazard alone in the house for a week or so.  Finally made the decision for that reason if for no other.  Second reason -- As the ornament collection grew the weight on the real tree meant many bent branches and therefore caused precious ornaments to slide down off tree.  Crunch.  :'(

Come back to memories - Ton and Puff sitting in the dark soaking in the glow and quiet of the scene for hours, both of them.

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS

BAZI   Sweet pic of Zippo showing off her beautiful colors  :D   We had rain all through the night but it has stopped now.   We needed it.

LANI   Feel bad for Mike.  Awful problem to live with.  Tim had his last back injection ( for sciatica)  a yr ago but recently was suffering a lot - not with sciatica tho.  Doc said get an MRI   Results from last week  " not much change since last year".  Doesn't need an injection - is supposed to walk 30 min a day which he tells him to do every time he sees the doc but never does - sad!   What a super story about your step Dad - head chef  :o   Did you benefit from his delicious meals?

OLDGUY  Reading LANI's note reminded me I forgot to mention that Cassowary in the water with just the head up reminded me of the Loch Ness monster  LOL

PHYL  Chicken night light  ::)   365 beautiful.   You set a beautiful table.

CLYNN   Love the Naturals peace wreath

KAREN   Via CLYNN  I guess 8 ' is a go.  Love her idea of a mural!!!

Baz - Darling pic of Zippo - looking as cute as always!! :)   Good for you in continuing your walks!

Lani - Thank you so much Lani.   Poor Mike having to deal with the discomfort - hope all goes well with him having an MRI and the insurance approving the shot.

Phyl - Cute rainy gif this morning.  Thank you so much Phyl.  Hugs for you too {{Phyl}}    Like the deer & snow (had my sound turned up for it) in 365 - beautiful and serene.     Wow! Your stew and your table setting looks so inviting and delicious! :)
Lovely pic at Great Spirit Bluff Falcons.

Clynn - Cute graphics!   I didn't remember (but I should have) that our Fathers passed so close to each other and they were the same age!  {{Clynn}}   All of us who have lost parents never forget them and they remain in our hearts forever. :-*
Like the Christmas window display!    It may take time, but hopefully Harley will accept the new little kittens into your home. :) :)

Puff - We used to take the kids to choose a live Christmas tree, but now we just bring in the artificial tree for some of the reasons you list!  Precious memories of you & Ton sitting in the dark with the beauty of your Christmas tree all aglow.

Tsk - We had showers off & on last week and now this week, we are having some nice sunshine.

Hi Tig, Bl, Kb, LisaG, Karen, Lori, Og!


This morning, Hubby is leaving in about an hour to meet an old school buddy to have breakfast in nearby Moss Landing (the town is along the coast), then they will go fishing off the shore.  Hubby went and bought his fishing license for the occasion last week.

Beakers have a nice day.

Good Morning Beakers
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/88/ad/d1/88add173b8f6bafdc08458c24db45131.jpg)

Miserable day here...ESE winds at 10 to 20mph with 100% chance of rain for the day, and later tonight SSE winds at 20 to 30 mph with 1 to 2 inches of rain.  The temp is 49, but the winds are making it feel colder.

Lani - Big gentle hugs for ((Mike)).  Hope the back brace gives him a lil comfort till he can get in for his MRI and shot.  Hang in there!

baz - You are doing great with your walks!  Adorable pic of Zippo!  Are you getting all this rain too?

((E4E)) - HUGS!  Hope Kris has a great time on his fishing trip.

BrokenLug - Thanks for the tunes.

karen - Sorry about the vertigo and the fence situation. 

Puff - Sounds like you have good help around the holidays.  :D

oldguy - Busy time for you at work with Black Friday.  Thanks for the videos. 

tig - Yummy, love the Orange Chicken from Panda Express.

Phyl - Thanks for 365.  Dinner looked delicious.

clynn - Very pretty arrangement and wreath in your morning pics, and LOVE Prairie Press Christmas window display.  Great idea for karen on her side of the fence.

Tsk, The back brace and heating pad seems to help Mike with discomfort... my stepfather taught me how to make gravies, sauces, biscuits, pie dough, cakes. No recipes... My MIL, Julia Child  and Martha Stewart fined tuned my cooking.  ;D

Eagles, thanks  :-*

Phyl, beautiful, serene nature video.. Beef stew and dinner looks delicious.... gorgeous sunrise from GSB... scary photo from Iceland, I feel so badly for the residents. They'll have to start all over again, rebuilding their lives/businesses. No one is going to give them $$$ for their homes, land, etc.....  :'(

Clynn, Mike is missing three discs in the lower back. He's refusing to have surgery... He thought he could wait out the pain... Step father did the cooking when he was home. He taught me how to cook/bake. Learned how to make gravy, sauces, biscuits, pie dough, cakes.... Mike loves my turkey/roast beef gravy, it's a combination of stepfather and mom-in-law. Neither wrote it down, it's by memory.... only thing he did that wasn't abusive, and I'll leave it at that.... {{{Harley}}} will receive lots of TLC when new babies are around too.... right now Milo is going through some kind of stress. So, I've added another litter box, bought him a calming collar and Feliway calming diffuser going too. Vet also said to give Milo more time-out time in my office. Scolding him will just make him angrier and defiant. In my office with door closed, he can give himself downtime away from Norman. He settles and goes to sleep. Norman's a quiet sweetie, but Milo's been bullying him around and marking areas. The calming collar should arrive today... sweet Christmas window display. I miss Salina.  :-*

Karen, a mural painted on the fence is a great idea! Lots of home owners in the Valley had their high walls painted with murals. Especially if the dining room window looked out to a brick fence 4 feet away from window. I hope you're feeling better today.

{{{Puff}}} lovely memories of Christmas past. I miss my MIL and grandparents.

{{{Lisa}}} send some of that rain over here!  ;D

Thanks for the ifo on Valdosta codes, clynn!  I am in the county and they are just a little different but the original code of the subdivision is a nother set if numbers!   The ones I like are those for the development and there is noone to enforce them!    The county requires a building permit for fences in the front, over 6 feet and in the back, over 7!  I am guessing this fence is  7 but will measure it!   A mural would be nice or a row of tall evergreens, ala kb! Cost a fortune and there are a thousand tree roots back there!   Enough about this!   Btw, I have never seen a fence in a front yard!
Earthquake is terrible!
Old Guy sure does seem to be a card shark!
My mother died at age 54 in 1959!  I have conversations with her almost every day!  Dome times we even argue!   Memories are good!
Baz!  Tell Zippo not to worry!  Lol
Backs are something!  I need s shot too and hate to get them!  Have a brace here and never think to put it on!

Have to go to Hobby Lobby for fuses for my tint tree and need to order more water!   Later

EAGLES  So who won the fishing tourney?  LOL  Any fish to cook on the grill?  Bet the guys had fun.  Did you go visit Mom?

PHYL   Such a rough time for those living near that pending disaster.

LISA    Is Misty still behaving herself?  No more surprises?  Very windy here too of late.

LANI   Looks like "Buddy" made quick work of that pie topping  ;D ;D  You learned a lot of cool cooking skills.  To this day I cannot make gravy and I don't do well with a rue.  Learned my basics of cooking from Mom.
Had to Google "calming collar"  Never heard of that before.  Let us know how it works.  Has Milo had these episodes before?

KAREN   Gosh, I hope you feel better tomorrow.  Falling asleep sitting might have contributed .So disabling.

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone) From Ranger Sharyn Broni
Thank you all for your patience at this quiet time on the Royalcam.
Elsewhere in the colony it has not been as quiet as watching the grass grow.
Some eggs are old enough to candle to determine whether they are fertile or not.
Check out this video from 2020 to see how candling an egg at a nest looks.

Rangers Candle The Royal Albatross Egg at the #RoyalCam Nest | NZ Dept of Conservation | Cornell Lab
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBH959EPhkk&t=126s

Jan 11, 2020
Candling uses a bright light to shine through the egg shell to observe changes in the size of the airspace and embryos within the shell. Candling the eggs allows biologists to assess whether the embryo inside is developing properly as well as estimating how near to hatch the egg is. In this video, a New Zealand Department of Conservation Ranger visits the RoyalCam nest to candle the egg, which should be nearing hatching in the next couple weeks. Afterward, she reported that "Egg is developing as it should."

Tsk, Milo was difficult the first year he was with us. Remember he kept jumping off the 2nd floor patio, jumping on the kitchen cupboards, he wouldn't let anyone pet him. I didn't know about a calming collar until now, I did use calming spray then, lots of patience and tlc.... Norman has always been a cuddle bug.... I don't know why he's acting up... Nothing has changed except the seasons.... Here's a recipe for Roux mix. I've made it for 60 years, mainly by memory. I found this recipe for you..  https://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-make-roux/

T40, Thanks for article. We've been alerted, thank goodness for our Beak family and walking buddies. Sadie is current on her shots.

{{{Karen}}} I hope you have a good night's sleep and feel better tomorrow.

Good night!

Howdy Beakers.  :)

I'm just now getting a chance to check in. I walked 33 minutes today - was in a dash to get out to run errands before the rain, so I kept my walk shorter.

Lani, the Kansas game in Maui just ended. Ruh roh... not their best game.  I think I can hear Mike from here.  ;)  Are you hiding in your office?  :o  My team plays in a holiday tournament in the Bahamas Wednesday at noon.


Beakers, I'm going to try to read the posts now, but may not get a chance to post afterward till tomorrow. It's after midnight my time, and I'm tired and not feeling great, no thanks to a major digestive upset after dinner tonight. I'm not prone to that kind of thing, so I'm guessing something I ate didn't agree, since I feel fine otherwise, and I have no fever or other symptoms.  I'm wondering if it was the crab salad I picked up on my way home from errands and had with my dinner.



Sleep well, All, Peace. SED.

A painting done in 1995 by Karen Rinaldo, of Falmouth, Mass., depicts what many Wampanoag tribal leaders and historians say is one of the few accurate portrayals of “The First Thanksgiving 1621,” between the Wampanoags and the Pilgrims. (Karen Rinaldo)

http://Phyl, love the Fall barn pic! 24 here now, high 53 and sunny! Will read the WAPO article about the Pilgrims as soon as I find my password! Nice picture of the First Thanksgiving. The French Alps are beautiful with all the snow, those goats are real mountain climbers!

baz, good for you getting your walk in! Hope your tummy wakes up fine this morning! Funny how we always tend to blame the seafood, maybe because it's hard to tell by smell if it's gone south! Hope that's all it was!

Lani, interesting video of the egg candling, Mama is so patient watching the Ranger. Very clever to give Mama the fake egg while they check! I have made Roux a few times, we always called it White Sauce but it is the exact same ingredients. Grandma and Mom never measured any of it, no written recipe either. It's one of those recipes you can adjust depending on how thick you wanted it I guess. Poor Mile, he is going through a phase. I sometimes feel bad about yelling at Harley, but he just keeps on doing the things. Maybe I will try some Feliway, I don't think I could ever get a collar on him!  I feel for Mike, hope you get a quick answer on the shot.

karen, hoping you wake up fine this morning! Has Piper noticed the new fence?

SWFL - MLiz Photos  - 11 21 2023  -  Officially on egg watch!
Today M15 brought a fish, F23 claimed the fish and mantled, she then began to eat in the nest and M15 too off and brought grass, some stick, there was one stick that M15 got was a long one and when he flew pass by cam tree 2 it broke and he got some pieces he arrived to the nest and F23 remind him that she is eating lol my fish! Sub Adult flew by west pasture area and continue, 2 Caracaras flew by as well they were too far away for pics.  Unfortunately GHO (Great Horned Owl) attacks will continue, it is part of nature.
I will remind again: Behavior of an Eagle before egg laying: The female may begin to exhibit increasing lethargy for a day or few days before oviposition. She may stand in the nest or lie in the cup almost motionless for minutes or even hours. This is a great tease, and it may or may not lead immediately to egg-laying. Observable lethargy does not always occur. Watch her body and her behavior. She is exhibiting those behaviors. Any day now! She will tease us every now and then lol. Keep watching. 🙂 Be kind to one another!

HI EVERYONE

T40   Thanks for the news story on new respiratory illness in dogs .  Very scary.

LANI    Thanks for info on candling  Cruise ship  :o   Yes now I remember about Milo. Thanks for the refresher.  Let us know how the calming collar works.   Sorry for the misspelling on roux - It looked funny when I typed it  LOL   Liked the recipe - Didn't know roux had different shades.  I book marked it.

BAZI   My alma mater Marquette ( 4th) is there as well.  Have not checked the news yet.  Hope you feel better today.  Could be crab salad... :-\

PHYL   Beautiful sight in the Alps 365 

CLYNN   That was quite a tree M15 was carrying  ;D

Good mornin' all.

Found two stories on treatment yesterday for dogs.  The other - I got item from Paws/Chicago Humane.  There is a new Parvo shot treatment.  Instead of month long suffering technique that wasn't always successful, there is now a new injection that works 2-3 days.  Great fast, and thorough recovery sometimes a couple days.  Of course downfall is cost.

I only mention in case we have any pet/dog lovers in the group.   :P

Lani And Milo..How is your fella doing this morning...much better I hope. I've read  a lot about the 'calming' scents and collars for cats. But, never used them.
I sure hope that helps and/or he's back to his ol' self.  :-*

CLynn I got WAPO article   w/o a password. I was redirected by Smithsonian. Many , many thanks for the update on SWFL . And,  EGGWATCH! too.  Is that the 'Y' branch from Dechorah M15 was carrying?  ;D
It won't be too long and all the nests will be on 'Eggwatch' and the 'eggscitement' begins.  ;)

T40 - thanks for that article regarding the new pathogen making dogs sick. First I have heard about a possible identification of it and why it's been so hard to do so. Doxycycline is now planted in my brain.

I got an e mail as did all my Vet's patients regarding this problem a week back. Bottom line, keep your dogs away from other dogs. No problem for me and Ollie except when head to clinic for dog toe nail clips. However, they do keep dogs away from each other in separate rooms etc.

Had my skin cancer laser tx yesterday. I was told this procedure vs. the Mohs on this particular lesion will provide a 95 percent cure vs. the other. Meaning there is only a 5 percent chance it will return in 3 years without doing the Mohs...I'll take my chances thank you. Doc only said 3 weeks to self repair not 6 like someone on the phone said. I did forget to ask the same risk/benefit percentage on the Mohs which surely can't be 100.

It did occur to me that the Mohs is far more lucrative than laser ;) ;)

are no complications or returns. Good that Olliman keeps away from other dogs w/ that 'pathogen' spreading. He'll be safe and healthy.

Thanks, Phyl - I feel good about My decision.
He reiterated, after many of my questions, this is all from sun exposure in my "youth"....again, I blame California and the 20 years I lived in the sun there, LOL.
He also said I could spend as much time in the sun now and going forward as I want to. I'll be dead before any of that exposure causes me any new skin damage.

I reminded him of the fact that my moving to California by 20 yrs of age reduced my chances of getting Multiple Sclerosis by nearly 100 percent. My mother had it.

So kinda of a comme ci, comme ca.

Taking a break from cooking!   Will get potatoes peeled and in water after lunch.  Dressing and veggie done.
Tim's son and wife ( undergoing chemo for ovarian CA) and grandson will be coming.

PHYL  Sad to say but Lulu would not be interested in Turkey day - She will likely hide since new people will be coming into her house. ;)

KB  Gorgeous black wolf.   Good decision on the laser Tx  I'd take my chances too.  Much simpler all the way around.  How would moving to Calif, reduce your chance of getting MS?

EAGLES  Safe trip and enjoy the holiday.   Kris would have thrown the fish back anyway - Fun is in catching them  LOL

TIG   You are going to be doing some fine dining!!!  Enjoy your time away.

Good Wednesday evening, Beakers.  :)


Thanks to all who asked about how I'm feeling. I've been fine today. No lingering after-effects, thankfully.


Clynn, yowza on that stick M15 was carrying!!! Hate it broke off before he could show it to the new girl.  ;) :D  I just love that picture of M15 watching his new lady mantle and eat the fish he gifted her in the nest. Love the look on his face! It's love again at the SWFL nest, I hope. I hurt for Harriet being gone, but M15 really is Mighty, and he will do what he can to carry his species forward. I know we will never know, but I still think he is "of Ozzie".  :-* :-* :-* :-*

Lisa, the rain didn't get here till around 6pm last night (Tues. night). We had about 2.5 inches, officially, in the 24 hours from 6pm Tuesday till 6pm Wednesday... and a bit more after that, but I think it finally has mostly stopped as of just a little bit ago. It will be sunny and 60 here tomorrow!  Congrats to Bradley and Kelly on buying a house!  That's wonderful!

Tsk, my team won today, so we play Thursday at 2:30. I haven't looked to see... how did your Marquette team do?  I hope you get a good night of sleep - you have worked hard preparing for tomorrow. Hugs to Tim's son and DIL - I hope she is tolerating her chemo okay and will be able to enjoy some time with you all for Thanksgiving.

Lani, %$#!#$%^#! ... your post!  Hope you like your new phone. Hate Mike is enduring such pain and hope he gets in to see his doc earlier than his curent appointment, by way of someone's cancellation, maybe. Hugs to Milo, poor guy upset about something... seems I've heard of UTI sometimes causing related issues. Don't know if you've already looked into that. Hope Norman can "brush it off."  :-*

Karen, hate it about that fence. It will work out one way or another. People telling you to have a mural painted on it... LOL, don't think I would be painting someone else's property.  ;) ;) :D  Maybe Piper will decide to pee on it regularly.  ;D

Karen, your bed/sleeping description  ;D ;D ;D made me remember this scene from "Here's Lucy", when Lucy was trying to fix the hospital bed for Harry when he got his tonsils out:

Mike is moving better today. thanks... calming collar seems to be working. All is quiet  ;D. Thanks for the Thanksgiving food list for our pets.

Clynn, Milo doesn't like to be touched around the neck... I wrapped Milo in a towel and placed the calming collar on him. He gave me death stares from across the room. But, he's been quiet today. His appetite and activity is just fine. He's left Norman alone and no jumping on the kitchen counter .... One of Mike's employees called him today and asked for my turkey gravy recipe. LOL! I guess Mike raves about it.... I pray the GHOs would stay away from SWFL nest. Great pics...

Puff, thanks for posting more pet info.

{{{Kb}}} glad your surgery went well, prayers for successful healing. You, Chris and Ollie keep safe... Baby Tiger has a healthy big tummy to rub.  :-*

Eagles, Mike is moving better today... Milo seems to be doing well with his calming collar.... Safe travels and have a lovely Thanksgiving in San Luis Obispo.  :-*

Lisa, I'd love to do the island cruise too.

BL, I read your weather report for Lilbro, no wonder we're getting a cold snap south of Wy.

Tig, Have a lovely Thanksgiving and weekend at Cove Point. Looking forward to pics. {{{Tig and Camper}}} Safe travels.

Tsk, I like my new phone, it sure has a lot of bells and whistles.  ;D Enjoy your Thanksgiving tomorrow with Tim, his son, wife and grandson.

Lisa, Wonderful news and best wishes to Bradley, Kelly and little Miss Sydney in their new home! I started my Thanksgiving cooking today too....

Baz, I checked with my vet and read quite a bit before I got the calming collar. I'll keep it on him ten days, even though it's for 30 only. .. Congrats to UNC... Peace  :)

BL, thanks for sharing your adventures and love of music .. like the House of Blues  ;D

Phyl, your menu for today sounds perfect! I am thinking of making a turkey & dressing casserole today with the leftovers from Sunday. We have leftover green bean casserole and sweet potatoes and pecan pie so I think we will have a good dinner! The kids made it to Florida yesterday by about 10:30 AM, they flew directly from Des Moines to Punta Gordo, the Airbnb is on Sanibel Island. 34 now, high 42, mostly sunny today. 365, the Juncos need to get going!

Lani, well, I think we would all like your gravy recipe, especially if Mike brags on it! Glad to hear Milo is responding well to the collar, The 'death stare'! LOLOL. One of Erin's two cats started doing the same as Milo, we finally figured out that it was because the other cat was bullying him in the litter box. A second litter box seemed to have solved the problem. Oh, the new phone woes, I have that after every update! Something changes! Then I have to call Erin to figure it out! But I love having a camera on hand!  Hope Mike is feeling a bit better each day... Harley is pestering me right now, and he is in that nipping/swiping mood!  ::) ::)

Yesterday picture of the kittens!                                                                                  And Harley just now...

BL, ahh, the Blues Brothers! The movie was on tv Tuesday, so enjoyed watching it again! Your words about RRP and how we have all been brought together to form these friendships is a beautiful thing and so very true! I cherish all of the Beakers, and feel like we have been friends for a long time! We will all grow very old together...

baz, loved the scene from the Lucy Show that karen reminded you of, I had that same vision too!  Your words of wisdom picture, beautiful...

tsk, hoping you and Tim have a wonderful Thanksgiving with Tom's family coming for diner, I am sure all preparations are going well!

Lisa, congrats to Bradley and Kelly and their first home! The first home is always special!

karen, what does Piper think of the fence, or does she not even notice? Have you got a nice little dinner planned for you and Piper today?

kb, oh that sweet little tiger, and what a full belly!

tig, have a wonderful Thanksgiving up north!

Hi CLynn glad to hear Erin, Sydney and Munchkins arrive safe n' sound; the Siamiese kittens are sooooo cute; Harley looks well.  Was thinking the same of Lani's gravy receipe---so maybe she'll share it today and we'll have it next year. ;)   
Your casserole is it just turkey and dressing mixed  with gravy and poured in a casserole dish?

We,  do have such a special group of folks here. Bob and RRP have created a special place to allow us to come together ...to discuss the raptor we love so much...and to chat among ourselves sharing our highs and lows, our joys and sadness, smiles and tears.
Love you all.

Finally took some time and gave Dan a short call. Says all  is as good as can be expected.
Making his own Turkey Day feast.

tig - Your meal sounded yummy.

tsk & karen - The house is an older built home in a nice neighborhood, that has been remodeled.  It is about 25-30 miles away from where they are now, so it will take me a good 1.5 to 2 hours to get there depending on traffic.  Here is a pic of it on Redfin. https://www.redfin.com/MD/Frederick/1312-Mulberry-Ct-21703/home/15226521

BL - Happy Thanksgiving to you and Pip.

baz - Thank you.  We didn't get the 1 to 2 inches that was expected.  It was like a drizzly rain all day, but the day was gloomy and miserable.

Lani - Thank you.  Is Shannon coming over today, or is it just you and Mike? Oh, I see you said, Mike is moving a lil better.  Hope he gets some relief.

Phyl - Thank you.  Your meal sounds delish for today. Thanks for the 365.

clynn - Thank you.  The home is in Frederick.  Didn't you say you have been there before?  Aww, Harley and the kittens!  Glad to hear that Erin and family made it to FL. 

Puff - Morning   :)

I think a baby gate or two will be in order.  ;) 
 You'll have to plan  house warming party.
When you next see them tell them how much I like 1312 Mulberry Ct, Frederick, MD . And, I wish them a successful purchase...a very

Not a turkey!..but a cute wombat.

Morning all and hope you all have a lovely meal whether with family/friends or alone.

Eeks!..I always seem to make a big boo boo on Thanksgiving.

Readying to start my pot roast I realized I defrosted my spare ribs and NOT my chuck roast.
Good grief. I did my best to defrost it in my microwave without um cooking it, seared it in a pan and added all to crock pot. Whole foods always wraps the butcher meat in brown paper and I didn't look at the label.
Crossing my fingers the meat will taste okay.

One year I dropped my whole green bean casserole on the floor

Guess I should learn to have a pick up meal instead one of these days. :)

Off to walk Ollie on a bitterly cold morning with coat soon. Hopefully that will shake off my upset, LOL

Lisa, yes, I have been to Frederick many times! The first time the Firstbank Mortgage (Springfield, IL) was sold was to Standard Federal Savings in Frederick. Then we were purchased by Prudential, also headquartered in Frederick. Then purchased by Norwest, which then purchased Wells Fargo. All the time with a presence in Frederick. A beautiful little town with so much Civil War history! And wonderful seafood! A very vibrant downtown and beautiful surroundings! Sorry that it is even farther for you but still not too far! The house is lovely, looks move-in ready! They must be so excited! Found a great view, just click on the first picture and you get a slide show!

I've been following this big guy....he's heading North and he DID just cross Highway 10 safely. Someone has been tracking him from a safe distance from Southern MN, some suggest even Iowa. He's now safely across most major highways in MN...where he ends up nobody knows, but he should be in Northern MN.
This is Staples MN mid central MN. but before someone posted he safely crossed north of Highway 10!.
go big guy :)

karen -  Thanks!  It was a nice day, and I got to have lots of Sydney time today.  Jeff's dad went over to one of the brother's houses today for dinner.  Sounds like you have a nice dinner for yourself. Awww, the vet coming to see Piper.

Lani - Hope you had a nice day!

T40, E4E, and Lori - Happy Thanksgiving!

clynn - Jeff's Dad has a split level, but only two levels. I have never seen a tri-level, so kinda excited to see Bradley's.  Aww, are the munchkins having a great time at the beach?

tig - Enjoy your dinner!

And a wonderful time was had by all!  Tim's son and Amy and Emmett left at 5:30 loaded with their doggie bags and full tummies.  Kitchen cleaned up and dishwasher going.  Time to get the jammies on and put my feet up

LISA  Good news and bad news - Further away =bad news and a gorgeous tri-level home is the good news.  Lots of room to grow. Beautiful deck and at least a 1 car garage..  Tim's Mom and Dad had a tri-level home with an additional basement.   Tri-levels are not uncommon here.

KB   Willi would have wanted a wombat  ;) ;)  Glad dinner turned out OK  :)

CLYNN  Thanks for the glimpse of Frederick.  Love the colorful row houses .  I think Georgetown has something similar.?
Love how Talon is holding Bella's hand.

LORI   Your pets were definitely in the spirit of the day  ;D

KAREN   I think you are set for food for a day or two. Nice neighbor and vet friend. Bless their generosity.

T40   ;D ;D

PHYL  Thanks for the Iceland update.    "carve it"  LOL

Lani, I was happy to hear that Shannon spent Thanksgiving with you! If I remember right, she often works on Thanksgiving so other families can be together... I told Erin about Sanibel and CROW,  it turns out they are on Marco Island which is about 65 miles and a boat trip from Sanibel. After watching the dancing in the Hawiian video oldguy posted I wondered if you learned and performed any of those dances when you were a young beautiful Hawiian girl?

oldguy, I had to chuckle, finished the 14 day diet in 3+ hours! LOLOL! I also had to chuckle at Claire thinking she has spoiled her cats!! She will never be able to be very stern with them, I am sure!! Maru and his boxes, and Hana adores him! You will be busy today! That is if you can get around. I remember in Springfield, Ed's sister Peggy and I got up and went to Menards at 5:00 AM for the Black Friday deals one year. We could hardly move, the checkout lines snaked all around the store. Seems like it was a smaller store than the ones we have now. That would have been back in the 90s.

I noticed in Claire's video, one of these:  https://www.amazon.com/QQ-Acrylic-Keyboard-Protector-Anti-Cat/dp/B07WWBFL6J
(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bT65Mhv7L._AC_SY450_.jpg)

Lisa, glad you got to have some good Grammy time with Sydney! Saw your pictures on FB, your food looks delish, are those stuffing balls? If you don't post a pic or two of Sydney I will!  You have to know we need to keep track of her growing up! Remember Bella at that age? Time flies by so quickly!
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/05/c9/86/05c9865e70096e6bd02796a847c0874f.jpg)

kb, wonder where Ruff will end up? I also hope he makes it! Kind of scary though, hope he doesn't try to cross I80 or I90!

Phyl, lots of good info on Gryndivik, I hope they are able to return or can rebuild somewhere close by, such a pretty and clean little town. They will have to fix that big crack in the road if they return! Maybe a bridge over it!  365 -I hope the birds stopped by my crabapple, it was loaded! We had turkey and noodles last night, still enough turkey left for sandwiches for lunch! 23 here now, high 33 today. Must be a cold snap across the country! Best GSB sunrise view yet! Perfect timing, the day is awakening!

karen, you had a good Thanksgiving! And the Vet is coming to help you put up your decorations, so nice of her! Does she have a name or do you just call her the Vet? We have been busy taking care of Erin's dog and cats while they are gone. Three times a day, because his boxer is so attached to him and probably pining... I think Erin has some kind of video thing that he can check on him, don't know if he can talk to him. Anyway, he is a big baby...

tsk, glad to hear you had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with your guests, and oh the wonderful feeling of having everything cleaned up and in your jammies!

Wild Heart Ranch - Still waiting on our blower motor to get the heat on. Mini splits and our emergency space heaters are keeping up. Keebler has figured it out though. 💚

clynn - He's already made it across 80 and 90 and now Highway 10 in Central MN.
In 2018 as the article states a different Moose being tracked and not where it was supposed to be, was hit and killed on a highway/road.

This guy, named Ruff, was starting to be tracked at the Iowa/MN border so he's gone a long way already. I assume he's headed to north of Brainerd at the very least.

Nobody knows why he was so far South and even thought to be in SD and ND....tis a mystery for them. And why he's attracted so much attention. 24,000 viewers last checked.

Hey Woody!
 Luv  your bittersweet centerpiece this AM. I always forget about it.  :(

KB tks for 'Ruff' update. I too wish him well and safety. The photo you posted today--he almost looks as if he's posing for the camera.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on November 24, 2023, 09:20:09 AM

Phyl - indeed it does.

However this is not our guy...I just cut and pasted the picture embedded in the linked article. Other than that picture the article explains not all but the gist of Ruff's travels. The picture includes what looks like mountains. No mountains in MN...wish they wouldn't do that btw, but it probably gathers attention?

the pictures I've posted in the past here, have all been him on his fb page with followers and he's mostly been in fields so far...as he heads into the deeper forests well they may lose track of him.

I'll keep you all posted when he "lands" where he's headed....

Good Morning Beakers
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/de/3f/50/de3f507bacbdd83ba24775ca0896a99a.jpg)

Late this morning, but had to go get blood work done, and of course the check-in iPads were not working, so things were a lil slow at Labcorp.

kb - Glad to hear that your roast stew turned out great.

Phyl -  ;D the turkey carving funny! We don't have much of the chow left either, after Kelly & Bradley took some home.  Thanks for the 365. 

tsk - Glad to hear a good time was had by all.  The home Bradley is buying has a basement too, and I think that might be the reason for the single car garage.  He said, the shed in the back is an Amish built one, has electric inside, and is really nice.

baz - Are you feeling better?

oldguy - Oh wow, long hours today at work.  I hope it goes by quickly for you.  Thanks for the videos.   ;D no uploading pics of your Thanksgiving meal.

Lani - I agree with you on the cooking for 3 is the same as 6.  I cooked for just us 4, and felt like I could have fed an army.  Glad that Shannon was able to join you all. 

clynn - I am glad I got to spend time with Sydney, too.  Yes, the stuffing balls got a lil too dark on top.   I was paying more attention to Sydney than the stuffing balls and forgot they were in oven.  ::)  Aww, I remember when I started the Beak, Bella being that small. 

A few pics of Sydney from yesterday

Good Morning!  I hate it when I eat a lot of food that is not very good and gain almost 2 pounds!   Lol!  I am a Thanksgiving food freak and used to be one of the best cooks around!  I am now one of the old ladies who cant cook!  Stuffing tasted ok but had too much broth in it and something  was not right about the green beans!  Not sure what.  Was a pretty good pie maker and like Mrs Smith!  In my attempt to buy a single slice I ended up with an Edwards pie!   Crust is a little thick!   Oh well!  The Cornish hen was very good.   The good thing is that the garbage disposal works!   Remind me that the grocery store sells prepared holiday dishes !
Clynn, Darling picture of Bella and Talon!      Vets
name is Amanda?  I call her, Dr. Hall and she still refers to me as Miss Gramke!   Not crazy about the arrangement but that is how  she seems to prefer it.   I had called her on Wednesday to let her know I had something here for her so she came between shifts at her business!   Gave her the lab boxwood Christmas  door swag!   She will hang it in the reception room at her  business!   Now I hope UPS finds the other one  I ordered and delivers it today!   Want it for my door!
When I looked at the picture of tge kids on the beach at
Sanibel, I thought it looked quite different than the  flatter sand and shells I remembered and thought perhals it was added sand after the hurricane!  Aha!   Wrong Beach!   They are across the  shore from Naples, not Ft Myers!
Phyl, did you get one of the small half turkey breasts fron the Publix Meat area?  I have cooked them before and thought about one of them and a few thighs for dinner but went with the hen!
Tig, what was on your menu yesterday?
Good football day yesterday!  Tsk, did you see Green Bay had  a surprising win?   Do you think the Pack is Back?
Enough of my  griping?  Bbl

Remember this guy, Taho?....the man driving and a multiple car jacker was just sentenced to an 18 year Federal Prison term.
the woman who actually threw out Taho has yet to be sentenced. Her case is ongoing.

I'm happy for the long sentence so far...and it doesn't happen here as a State Case, but when the Feds take over it does. Our US atty, Andrew Luger is doing the right thing but he doesn't get many of the cases.

BTW, our moose is Rutt not Ruff :D...Daily Mail also posted about his journey. Some suspect the Canadian Fires this summer drove him south. He's now north of Staples, MN. He's not yet of breeding age, btw.

Our moose has hit the National News:
https://www.insider.com/moose-on-the-loose-tracked-across-midwest-facebook-group-2023-11

Go RUTT ! ...hope you make it buddy.

Cool Kb.
The pic above sure looks like a AK moose to me.  :-\
I'm glad Rutt has cleared most of the major roads in that area as he heads north.
He shouldn't have to cross to many more if he's North of the Staples  -  Brainerd neck of the woods.  8)

Looks like he might be heading towards camperstig's fishing lake.   ;D

Here's a NJ fellow named Turkules that caught a ride from the state to a much safer area of NJ just before Turkey Day.   :)

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/turkules-turkey-1.7038260

Here's a real picture of Rutt.
He definitely has a ways to go before he really gets into any true rutting behavior.  ;)

Boy, the day is flying by and now I need to stop.  Too much time standing.  :P    Set up our Advent giving projects area in the church gathering space with 3 helpers.  An hour later was home making my world famous turkey soup  ;) ;)  While that was cooking away, brought up some decorations and of course Lulu had to partake.  ::)

LANI   How did Aly spend the holiday?

PHYL   Good idea about the turkey club - I have all ingredients - That is supper tonight.  Thanks  Gorgeous sunrise over the flyway  :o

CLYNN   That is some coffee design  :o   You know, when you mentioned Sanibel I wasn't sure they were up and
running fully yet.  Marco is more like it.   Now that I'm sitting I will enjoy Claire's video - Cool keyboard protector.   That was a sweet pic of Talon and Bella  :) :)  Am sure Erin is so grateful he has you to help out with the dog and cats.  If I recall they are not just minutes away either..  Keebler - " what heat problem, I'm just fine"  ;)

LISA  Those eyes on Sydney are just gorgeous.  Cute pic of you two  ;) ;)

KAREN    Yes I did see that Pack win.   Thought the Bears might do it this week but no  - gave up a 12 point lead in the last 3 minutes  :P :P :P

KB   Thanks for all that great info on Rutt.   And that sweet baby Taho looking great. - I remember it being thrown out of a car story.  Sure hope the gal who threw him gets some time too.

BL  The story of Turkules is hysterical.  The Superman of turkeys  LOL   Thanks for Rutt's true ID

Happy Day After Thanksgiving, Beakers!  :)

Clynn, I love that sweet throwback pic of Talon and Baby Bella.  :)  Keebler cracks me up!  So glad he has that wonderful home where he will always be lovingly cared for.  :)  It looked like the kittens' point colors were starting to show up in your last picture of them. Stella, Sammy, Prissy, Chase, Daisy, Henry, Fifi, Willis, Wally, ... ... ...   ;) ;D

Lisa, I love your pics of Sydney and you!  I still can't get over how much older she looks than her true age. It sounds like B&K's new home is going to be perfect for their growing family.  :)  I feel fine, and have since I went to bed that night after I had that sudden digestive upset. It was intense, but it only lasted a little over 2 hours, and then I was good as new after that.

Lani, it sounds like Milo is much better... glad the calming callar and other helpful changes worked. Norman and Sadie must be relieved, too.  ;) :)  Glad Shannon could be with you and Mike this year.

Karen, uh-oh, sorry some of your dishes didn't turn out as you had wanted, but glad the Cornish hen was yummy. Nice of your vet, but that is odd that she can't find her way to being on a first-name basis after all these years.  Oh well, whatever... she sure has been helpful. Your gift to her was very thoughtful, and will look nice where she plans to hang it. I hope your other one arrives soon for you, too!

Oldguy, that was a house full for dinner, which must have been fun. Sorry so many couldn't make it due to illness, and hope they are all well soon.

Phyl, turkey forever!  ;) :D  A turkey club sounds yummy.

Tsk, uh-oh on standing so long.  Rest now, and enjoy your yummy homemade world-famous turkey soup, and a turkey club.  :D

T40, LOLOL on that hilarious "turkey."

BL, glad the NJ ride worked out for Turkules. May he live long and prosper.  :-*

KB, glad the stew turned out tasty.

Lori, I hope you and your father and Destini enjoyed a relaxing and tasty Thanksgiving.

E4E, I hope you and Kris are having a wonderful time in SLO!

Tig, glad the hot tub did the trick.

Puff, it's nice that you have such helpful neighbors.



I walked 45 minutes today.



Have a good evening, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Karen - awww, I bet your food came out great.  I am stuck with two huge pies from Sams, an apple and pecan.  I know someone better help me eat these or they will be going in the trash. 

Lani - Hey there 😃

Kb - I do remember you posting about Taho.  I did forget that he was euthanized 😞

Tig - Enjoy!

Tsk - You are too kind.  I always feel like I look a wreck in pics that Jeff takes of me. 

Baz - Glad you are feeling better.  Sydney does not look 3 months old to me.  My BIL has a new grand baby too, and he is 2 weeks older than Sydney and he looks 6 months old or older!

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: tsk34 on November 24, 2023, 06:12:51 PM

TIG  Now you need to get a hot tub.  Talk with KB   LOL

KB   WOW  I did forget that.  Thanks for the reminder on Taho.  Yes now I recall.  That was very sad.

BAZI   LOL  Before and after Thanksgiving.   You are so funny with the naming marathon  ;D ;D  Again another great walk.  Parka weather here today.. :P

LISA   I think maybe we are our own worst critics in photos.  I can count on 1 hand the pics of myself that I have liked.  Truly!   Isn't that funny about the two babies not looking their ages.  Well as you might expect Tim's blood sugar shot up this AM after yesterday's "no holes barred dinner".  I keep my mouth shut!

I found a general travel map of Rutt's route north up from Alton, IA [on 09/23/23] to his crossing of Rt 10 and to now just North of Staples, MN. [on 11/23/23].

Rutt the moose is on a serious cruising travel mission I would have to say.   :o

From Alton, IA to Staples, MN he's traveled "as the crow flies" 240 Miles in 62 days.
Now obviously Rutt is NOT wandering by hoof in a straight line or on a prescribed aquatic grazing time line.

I would guess he's traveled closer to 270-280 miles of actual 'hoofing it'  -if not more-  in those 62 days by the looks of the cell phone map image attached below.

If you realistically use 280 Miles that's about 4.5 miles of distance per day on average probably many more.
He was likely not moving any miles at all on the 'weather days'.   :o

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable of the movements of Alces alces in North America.
His track is a bit unusual for sure to say the least. As in his distance traveled & the area traveled at this time of year.
Once again shocked.

Go Rutt go.
Or as Scooby Doo would say Ruh roh.    :D

Had a shock late this afternoon!   Piper had a seizure!  Scared the bejeezus out of me!   She is sleeping now and seems fine!  Talked to the vet who said there are no indications yet to give her any medication.   Keep calm and quiet!   I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop!   Hope it doesn’t!
Dieted all day and ate a lot this evening!  Food tasted better cold! Mixed some off the neighbors plate with mine.   Oh well!  Like Lisa, I am going to have to throw some of this away!   Maybe freeze it!
Tig, you talked about a deep hot tub!  Might be worth investigating!
Tsk, you have worked hard for days!   Turkey soup sounds good, world famous or not!
Baz. You must be getting thin as a rail with all the walking!  Good for you! 
Turkeles is quite a bird!  Thanks for the story bl!   Great map! 
Baz, i feel like the cats!
Off to clean up the kitchen

Is that picture of Rutt.
2 small moose tines Ive noted.

The last reliable human identification of Rutt I hope was near Staples, MN.

As he heads into the arboreal north woods of MN to hook up with some other transient of his ilk.  8)

A different picture and poster says between Nimrod and Sebeka.

There is highway 71 that he could cross but this is still pretty rural country with like 69 peeps living in Nimrod. Always a danger though. Hope he sticks to the fields and creeks.

KB many thanks for the name clarification-stand corrected 'tis 'Rutt' not 'Ruff'. ;)  Tks for update on Taho sure hope the USAT tosses the 'book' at these folks
WEll that puts an end to my thought as to 'why' Rutt was venutring so far. It was 'smoke' from fire and not a cow.  ::)

Lisa like the bittersweet on white today; awwwww  Sydney snaps, that first one today is a 'grabber'.  ;D. BTW...have you lost a pound or two?

Karen I think maybe you're  just out of practice in the kitchen. T'was a boneless turkey breast. I declare that man o' mine can find 'stuff' in that store!
I had served Maggie her HSD kidney formula Tuna stew she ate most of it. But, sure as 'H' I got that turkey breast out to gently w arm. And, that feline
stopped dead and sat in the middle of the kitchen floor and gave me 'that look' as if I was holding out on her cat-ness. I told her she had to clean her dish and then
she could have turkey (plain unseasoned) . She just stared---finally she left and went up to the computer room and  curled up in my seat. That's were she is now.
WE all know that I'll cave ---toss out the 3 remaining bites ---chop the turkey into tiny pieces and set out for her return. At which time I'll gently w arm in micro wave.

Lani very handsome Stag.

BL be so cool if Rutt did go to Camper's tig lake and Camper got a snap.  ;D  Many tks for the snap of Rutt... i
Turkules  story is a hoot.

Bazi funny-cute 'Before and after Thanksgiving kitty; my Turkey club is waiting in kitchen and calling out to me. I must needs go---soonest.  ;D
If my down jacket zippper wasn't broken I'd be out walking after dinner. Can' t find a tailor to replace it'

Lisa maybe somebody Jeff will here your plight.

How in the world are they going to keep Rutt down on the farm now that he's been to the big city?  ;D

BL and KB, here is a "pre-Alton" report on that wandering moose, from "Radio Iowa," dated Sept. 22nd, after he had been seen wandering in Sioux County, IA, and was heading, at that time, southeasterly toward Orange City, and Alton... and as he has wandered on from there. I thought the remarks in that article from the DNR Regional Conservation Officer, and also of the Sioux County Conservation Board Biologist, were interesting, especially about young male moose showing up more often there in recent years and then heading back north, and that DNR Officer mentioned that, "moose can travel five to ten miles a day, and have been known to travel up to 100 miles a week."  It's an interesting brief article:
https://www.radioiowa.com/2023/09/22/meandering-male-moose-seen-in-sioux-county/  Stay safe, Rutt!

Karen, I'm so sorry Piper had a seizure, and I'm glad to hear he's doing okay now.   :-*   Do you think this means you can't take him to the disco with you anymore?   8)  ;)   LOL on your comment about my walking!   :D  The only thing getting thin from my walking are the soles of both pairs of my walking shoes!  ;D

Phyl, it seems the cat "death stare" is going 'round... Maybe hers was not as severe, but I have a feeling Maggie has enjoyed a nighttime turkey dinner by now.  ;)


Speaking of... Zippo has finished her treat of slightly warmed leftover sufferin' succotash, from my Thanksgiving fixin's, and is calling to me to get her to her night roost tuck-in.

Tsk, you've had a busy day! Aly and Dewey spent a quiet day at home. She was invited out, but wanted to catch up on client paperwork. She grilled herself a steak.  :)

Phyl, beautiful sunrise....

Clynn, My mother taught me to do hula, not Tahitian dancing, which is what Oldguy posted. My sister and her daughter were professionals, and did Tahitian dancing too. Especially my niece, who danced professionally for Hilton Hawaiian Village...  Here in Hawaii, girls and boys are taught to do traditional Hawaiian/Maori/Tahitian dancing starting at toddler age. I love the music, especially the drum beat.  The Acrylic Keyboard Cover Protector is a great idea! ... Love baby Bella and Talon's photo  :-* ... King Keebler! LOL!!

Phyl, great 365, funny seeing turkeys in a crabapple tree, the branches barely hold their weight!  27 right now, high 35 today. Chilly! Glad to hear that Maggie got her turkey treat last night, Harley has never been interested in human food, weird! Not much interested in canned cat food either, mainly eats his dry food although there is always canned food served (that I end up tossing). He is not underfed, he is chubby! HOORAY for SWFL, hope there is another one in a couple of days! Ed was not a cat man when we met. He is now, it didn't take long!

Lani, Aly must be busy with clients, that is good. One day she may be a renowned therapist! One thing about being single, you can do what you want!

BL, thanks for the Glen Campbell! Memories! List of weird town names in the us! Nimrod not on the list but it should be!  https://www.shortlist.com/news/america-town-city-village-name-us-states

tig, sounds like you need to get a hot tub! Becky and Jennifer had one in Portland and wouldn't you know, the house they bought in Corvallis has one. They use it a lot! Sounds like you are having a good time!

baz, thanks for the memory of sufferin' succotash! Sylvester and Tweety were one of the staples of our Saturday morning cartoons, it was a tradition of our childhood!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQiGAgejpTc  Mom used to make succotash, I liked it, it was only lima beans and corn. Many delicious recipes with more ingredients out there!

Lisa, love the picture of you and Sydney, she's blowing bubbles! You are both sweeties!  I had your same problem with pies, I cut the leftovers in serving pieces and froze them individually. At I feel better even if I have to toss them later, I tried!  ::) ::)

kb, thanks for the updates and clarification on Rutt!

Wskrsnwings - Here are scaps (courtesy and property of SWFEC) captured by myself of our first sight of Egg1 and F23 caring for it.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

BL  Thanks for that tracking map.  Very interesting

Oh KAREN   How scary.  How was Piper acting during the seizure?  Sure hope it was a one time thing.

PHYL   I see Maggie is still running the show  LOL   Would cost me a fortune to replace a zipper in my parka - Found the shoe repair shop- cheaper - IF you can find a shoe repair shop these days.  This was a few years ago.  Caught that news about SWFL on FB yesterday - YAY  It all begins.  Loved the 365  :)

BAZI   Haven't heard sufferin' succotash in ages  LOL

LANI  All the forest creatures listening to a good night story  :)

CLYNN  Enjoyed all the AM cats  ;)   I bedt that crazy name list of cities could go on for pages!! Funny

tsk - Mama and I were just talking about that recently, how babies nowadays do not look like newborns/babies from years back.  They look alot older when they are born. I have to say, I think I did pretty good for blood sugar wise with my Thanksgiving meal.  On turkey day it was 165, two hours after eating, and then I had the same thing for dinner yesterday and it was 144 two hours after.  I do think the insulin at night is helping my numbers.  Just got my A1C results in email...I went from 7.6 to 7.3!!   

karen - Oh no, sorry to hear about Piper's seizure.  Hope she is OK this morning. 

kb - Rutt sure is making his way around...LOL

BL - Your stories crack me up!

Phyl - Sadly, no weight loss....I just think in some pics I look heavier than I really am. 

Lani - Thank you  :-*

Phyl - Yay...congrats to SWFL on their egg #1!  Thanks for the 365.

clynn - Thank you  :-*  Thanks for the SWFL pics!

No new news on Rutt near Nimrod this am yet.

Did not know/remember? the Biblical character Phyl.

My first thought was what? they named a town as an idiot or inept?..
Daffy Duck did not invent the word but used it and it's meaning as an insult, LOL. He referred to Elmer Rudd as my nimrod.

Morning all:

Lisa - Hmm, I think even in 1988 when Chris was born I thought my he looks like an old soul.

A few pics of him as a newborn, a few months old, and 2 years old...the one with me is the only time in life I had short hair!

And watch this till the end: A beaver felling a tree.. Smarty pants!

LISA   Great numbers!   Tim's went up again today  His lowest was 155 now 189.  He can't figure it out.  I said seriously?
I said you are no longer religiously doing breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack and he is relying on flex meals.  He thinks the foods he was given that weren't frozen were too high in sugar - so I said and yet your values were going down those first two weeks!   This is very frustrating for me.  I try not to say anything - nag city!

KB   What a beautiful picture of you and Chris - I love your hair like that. :)

Break time over - back to decorating.  Too much for Lulu - she went to take a nap  LOLOL

KB this what I found on Nimrod. Of course my query was 'Nimrod in the Bible" But that was the instant connection I made.
https://www.bing.com/search?q=nimrod+in+the+bible&qs=HS&pq=nimrod&sc=10-6&cvid=46008DC71EE645449637FA5F9CE8BF0D&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=1&lq=0 (https://www.bing.com/search?q=nimrod+in+the+bible&qs=HS&pq=nimrod&sc=10-6&cvid=46008DC71EE645449637FA5F9CE8BF0D&FORM=CHRDEF&sp=1&lq=0)

Lisa there was just one 'photo' of me newborn It was as I was being carried all bundled up by a nurse. On 16mm film , so Dad captured the nurse
scurrying to the nursery straight from the delivery room. There after I resembled  a Gerber baby.'   

Tsk Maggie is so sweet---I'll almost always 'cave in' to her. You know, I think I'll check a shoe repair about my zipper. It does have snaps too. But they don't
shut out the cold like the heavy duty zipper.  I got that  down filled jacket from Macy's eons ago it was on sale for $50 maked down from $150. Seasonal sale.

Bazi oh yeah!  I remember ' sufferin' succotash"  from Daffy Duck and all. Like Tsk, haven't heard that one  in ages

CLynn luv your kitties today!  I see those glasses and always think of Beatle John Lennon.  But, Ringo will always be my fave---who knows why.
Great SWFL snaps today. Many thanks. Yep! Being single one can do what and when they want..

Lani I did notice the cuteness of your nighttime image. And, the moose, too.

KB beaver  ditto 'smarty pants'  funny

Happy caturday!
Following Pipers seizure she seemed sleepy.  No symptoms.  We both slept well and she is behaving as normal, today!  Eating her kibble, all seems  well!  My first reaction to her episode was that she suffered a back injury!  She is quite athletic!   As she had no reaction to my rubbing her spine, etc I suddenly realized it was a seizure!   I have never seen one but have read about them!   Pretty  classic!
Chilly today and will be what I consider cold or sweater weather until Friday.    Then, back to the low to mid 70s! 
Great blood sugar  Lisa. Come by for some pecan pie!   Freeze yours
Tsk,  i can understand Tims reaction to the food but  he  should eat it!   Take it easy on the decorating!   Are you having parties?

Thanks for the  news on swfl!  I am so happy for M!   He loves tge babies and young eagles!   Wonder what is happening at nefl!

Lisa, Mike takes his insulin shot at night and seems to make a difference too. ... glad you're doing well.

Clynn, Love morning pics.... Aly's biggest concern is her Payson clients and those she helps from the Gila Court system. She has 12 Medford clients, but the majority come from Payson .... great pics of SWFL first egg and SWFL mom. New era has begun...  :)

Phyl, Congratulations to SWFL! Prayers for protection from the GHOs!! That's nice for Dan and Matt.... Love the wild turkeys enjoying the crabapples.... Thanks for the reminder of Nimrod. A bible school lesson remembered.... OMG! The cats climbing the wall. I would freak! My poor walls :o ... Maine Coon death stare!!! I'm a bad cat parent, I've never given any of my cats a bath. Wouldn't dare!  :o Then they might start climbing the walls or me!  :-\ ... I would love to have a Maine Coon.

BL, Glen Campbell is always Gentle on My Mind... as is John Denver and so many others that are no longer with us.

Karen, Happy to hear you and Piper are well today and Piper's back to normal. All is quiet at NEFL.

Back to Christmas decorating on this cold day!
Lots of great football games to watch too!

Lani really like your  Caturday rough boys band this AM.  Christmas decorating next week, hopefully. For some reason the passing of October and November
have me a bit 'blue'.  :(   
 I stopped givng kitty baths ages ago...Sam's  vet in Joplin, Mo said indoor only cats don't need bathing. And, "...cats are suppose to smell like cats. "  So you are not a bad cat parent.  :-*

Phyl - Sweet memory of you as a baby.

karen - Thanks!  I can't say that I have not cheated with being on the insulin, but it has helped.  I have also got back to walking after dinner on the treadmill.  That helps my blood sugar numbers, too. Glad to hear that Piper is back to normal.

PHYL  So interesting about Nimrod.   I guess if Mr Vivo can tolerate a bath he can tolerate confinement in the dryer  LOL
I've had cats steadily since 1980 and have never given a cat a bath.  :-[   Puzzle time  LOL  Interestingly she will not be new to puzzles as I was doing puzzles when we got her.  She never did that but who's to say now that she has settled in what will pique her curiosity. ;)

KAREN   Girls party on the 11th.   Only the tree is left to do - no hurry on that.  Good to hear Piper is OK today but still would like to know how you knew it was a seizure - shaking? frothing?

LANI   Didn't realize Aly still had so many Payson clients. 

T40   First one  - eerie  :o   Cat staring down the bird on the roof  :).  No thank you on those specialty cats - Beautiful tho.   Kitty IT  LOL

KB   My guess Bullwinkle  LOL

LISA   His doc told him to walk 30 min a day - speed doesn't matter.  Never has he done that.  Twice he has asked me how to use my treadmill - never happened.   In the summer he mows the lawn and now that leaf blowing is done.....sad

Tsk, I have never had a dog with seizures but have read about them on a dog forum.  Piper was laying on her side on the sofa next to me and sudden,y became quite rigid and was moving her kegs in a  dog  paddle motion.  I first thought she was caught in her collar or that she was trying to get it off!  I quickly checked, not caught so took it off .  Second thought was spinal  or back injury but  after a quick check  I dismissed that theory and suddenly my brain said, Seizure!   Just as quickly she stopped  the involuntary leg movements and slowly moved her head!   She looked around as if to say, hey, did something happen? The n she pottied in the house. As I was verifying my diagnoses with google.  I then called Amanda who said no need for her to be seen, at this time.  No indication for medicine!  I can tell you I was a nervous wreck but stayed pretty calm!

No in the process if putting my leftover food down the garbage disposal!   Have eaten to much of it and it is not that good!  Not worth tge weight gain and I have very little will  power!


Tsk, your house will be lovely!

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!! :)

Gorgeous day here; brisk. I took a 1 hr. 6 min. walk mid-afternoon. I walked to the big wide-open tall grassland marsh, and then down the path through the woods to a floating kayak launch in the cypress trees wooded marsh that becomes the intracoastal waterway that winds through the marsh to the river. Nice place.  :)

My timer just buzzed, so I need to take dinner out of the oven. I'm starving. My college team plays tonight - Go Heels!!  ;D  I will also be checking in on Lani and Mike's game, and on the Ga/Ga Tech game. All 3 of those games are being played during overlapping times on different channels. Lots of college football today. LOL.

LISA  No kidding!  I'll try and suggest the treadmill again tomorrow.

KAREN   Yes that was pretty scary.  Thanks for the description.  I know dogs/cats move their limbs occasionally when sleeping/dreaming but Piper's going rigid seemed a sure sign and then voiding in the house also did not seem right either.   Sure hope it doesn't happen again.

BAZI   You have such beautiful areas to walk in and observe nature on the way.  :-*

Karen watching a seizure is  scary. I remember seeing my Mom having her 2nd  one in the ER right after she was brought in for the f irst which  she had while alone. The body does some strange things
You are lucky for being there as you could  observe and call Amanda. It's the ones you don't see. Loss of bladder does happen sometimes.
St Francis be with you both. Prayers continue

Bazi all the best on the 3 games tonight

Tsk hope Tim can get some treadmill time

One of two different photos....Now Rutt is just west of Sebeka....Means he traveled 12 miles due west since yesterday from Nimrod.

Oh and get this:
There is a different Moose in Spirit Lake Iowa:

(https://scontent.ffcm1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/405050727_10225087334070842_8987942768525861913_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=j1bwlOV_Hs4AX8OY_JU&_nc_ht=scontent.ffcm1-2.fna&oh=00_AfA6zFJZZnMMgm9JszlNC6IW5-9ChaGAhTBF70VLNZAlSA&oe=656687BE)

also this is just one of two different pictures.

Tee hee. they are thinking of naming this one Nutt!

the suggestion is the Canadian wildfires this summer may have caused many moose to leave their natural range. And, now they are hoping to head back towards home.

Go Rutt and Nutt!

I'm thinking all in the Upper Midwest, keep your eyes open for moosers :)

There is another article about tines on Rutt....very scientific mutation dealy..I'm too tired to repost.

Phyl, great 365, hundreds of geese! Wow! Giving Tuesday this week! Currently 25, high 36 today. We got about half an inch of snow yesterday. Back in the 40s starting Wednesday!

Lani, sweet kitty asleep with the ornaments.... Love the ZZ Toppish Cat Band pic! Reminded me of Angela's Dad on Bones! Wow, Aly must have a good-sized portfolio, with all the Payson clients, and Gila Courts. Is that in the Phoenix area?

kb, oh no, another moose! Rutt and Nutt! Great picture of you and Chris from a few years ago!

baz, your walk sounds ethereal... the big wide-open tall grassland marsh, and then down the path through the woods to a floating kayak launch in the cypress trees wooded marsh that becomes the intracoastal waterway that winds through the marsh to the river...  I would love to walk with you!

T40, great videos and love the Kitty I.T.!

tsk, great pics of Lulu the Supervisor, especially the one with the little nun sitting next to her! Looks like Lulu gave stuff a good look over! You will have a fun time at your Girl's Party!

Hopefully by the time you get closer to the metro the roads will have improved. No salt and there were hundreds of accidents here last night tig...Amazing what a light dusting of snow at the right temp caused highways to become glare ice.

I am sorry we didn't post anything on the 60th anniversary of JFK's death..Nov. 22..

Chris and I watched the entire History Channel documentary recently. It was fabulous.

Found this tribute by Bob Dylan a 17 minute couplets of rambling tune that has one transfixed.

I personally believe this country would be a different country without this and feel sorry for those born since who can't possibly know what it was like.

Clynn - Love the sweet picture of Harley!  Kittens are sure cute!!  Cute pics of the Munchkins at the Beach! :)  I bet your casserole for you & Ed was delicious!

Good afternoon!   Been a dark chilly rainy day!   If this was snow I would need a plow!   It has been interesting to watch drivers in the south trying to navigate on snow covered streets!  It never occurred to me that folks in Minnesota would have trouble!   Sure did not see that in Wisconsin .   Hope Tig is home safe!   Good to see you back Eagles!  Hope your trip was fun!

Happy Birthsat Talon!  A year to remember with extended celebrations!

Just checked SWFL and the egg was deep in the  bole with no cover!  Think it was F23 sitting on a branch over it!   Mighty M had taken his turn on it  and rolled it!   Funny Guy!

Clynn, funny camper!  All the comforts of home!

Lisa, lol!  Time to return to portion control here!   Had a delivery of frozen dinners and fresh fruit today!   Unfortunately 3 of the 5  tangerines were rotten!    I could smell them before I opened the bag!

Lani the cat in the throw with coffee was hysterical!  Thanks for posting it!
Baz is ready for a marathon!

tsk - What Hallmark were you watching today?  I have been watching A Heidelberg Holiday, its pretty good.  I am glad Ms. Lulu behaved herself with the tree skirt.   :D

Puff - You be careful if you have to go out driving or walking.

E4E - Thank you, and yes their new home will be further from me.  I had a mixture of Thanksgiving & Christmas up, but Thanksgiving is all put away, as of today.  :D

karen - I agree, back to portion control.  Oh no, sorry about the tangerines. 

tig - Glad you arrived home safely.

Have a good night, everyone!

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Karen, I have had similar weather as you today - dark, brooding skies and 50-ish temps most all day - no walking, except for a run to the recycling center, and some very quick grocery shopping - it started raining here a couple hours ago.  No marathon, LOL. Just a nice long walk yesterday on a pretty day of sunshine. Gotta get out in it while I can!  But not today.  ;)  I hope you and Piper are just relaxing and staying warm today.


I have a pot of fresh collard greens cooking on the stove. When they're ready I'm going to steam an orange roughy fillet on top of them and reheat some sweet potato I baked last night. Zippo and I finished off the succotash last night. She loved it, and with sweet potato, too, which she just had some more of today. But she is not going for the collards, LOL. Maybe she'll give them another try when I sit down for dinner in a bit. I cooked a ribeye steak for my Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, so the fish and greens are going to taste good tonight.  :D


Wishing the Beakers a safe and warm evening. Peace. SED.

CLynn sweet bison calf; really cool/interesting van -great interiors. Oh my! Cold /white stuff. Brrrr.
Great snaps of Erin, Sydney and Munchkins . They always looks so happy.

KB congrats another Tower sighting.

E4E A safe return home.   I too am in the process of taking down and putting away Thanksgiving decorations and such.   I'll probably work on the front porch this weekend. Gonna keep it 'generic'---non specific and with the changing season this year. So it can be up until March .   

Tig safely home  :)

Lori very nice birthday greeting for CLynn's Talon

Bazi   :)


Don't forget the Winter Solstice is December 21st. Marking the official begining of Winter. Although many literally have it on their doorsteps already.

BAZI   Cool card for Talon!   You are having a very healthy dinner tonight!

LORI   Great card for Talon too. :)

LISA   It was an older one - Don't remember the name..  Did watch the road trip one last night.  A bit more substance than most of them  LOL

tsk - I've had food delivered to my house for 3-4 years....in the last 2 only in the winter.
But, You'd be surprised how good those shoppers are. They want to get good ratings and I've never had the pick out bad food for us...ever. They chat with you while shopping and if can't find something on your list they offer replacements and you pick replacements before they go as well..

Minnesota drivers are terrible winter drivers. Every year it's advised to stay off the roads the first few storms until people "remember" how to do it. We also don't have salt laid down as frequently as it should be.
Furthermore, Minnesota has the highest per capita population of refugees in the nation. They don't come from Northern snow/ice climates. Lastly, there has been a multitude of factors that has driven people to live in denser and denser cities. So: more cars, less experience, less salt, and "forgetting" results in lots of accidents. Long time residents just shake their heads and wait it out if they can.

Clynn, Gila County Courts is where Payson and Globe. Apache Reservation, Globe, Strawberry, Pine, Star Valley, etc.... Love the baby bison, the van camper is cool... Globe is an area known for scenes of Fort Apache with John Wayne... We were watching the KSU and ISU game, and there was snow, snow, snow!!! I wondered if you had some of the white blanket too and you do! It looks a bit slushy like it did on the KSU game...

Kb, a Grimpoteuthis aka Dumbo Octopus! He's a cutie!  ;D you have snow too... Mike and I watched a JFK doc too.

Tsk  His Holiness is a cutie  ;D... I hope the snow melts soon... {{{Lulu}}}

Lisa, good luck with the treadmill. Maybe Bandit/Misty will join you. I miss our treadmill. No room here for one.

Hi Eagles, welcome back! I bet you had a wonderful time!

Tig, glad you both made it home safely.

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes for Talon, I texted all of them to him yesterday! He said to tell you all Thank You! He was having a wonderful day!

Lani, Aly certainly has plenty to keep her busy! Does she seem happy to be so busy? You get to see a lot of birds migrating in! We have geese that stay here year round, I used to worry seeing them on the frozen pond at work. I thought they must be frozen, but they eventually moved!  Did you watch the History Channel Kennedy documentary? It was great if you love history, and especially if you have a connection to some part of it.  https://play.history.com/shows/kennedy

BL, that was a beautiful Playing for Change...

Phyl, quiet sunset on the Flyway last night.  17 here now, high 31 today. Brrrr!  Back in the mid 40s by Wednesday! Heat wave!

baz, so did Zippo give in and try the collard greens last night?  ;D

Mississippi Flyway - Jeremy Thrash - I spotted 12 eagles on the fallen tree today which is the most I've seen so far. 😁😎
Very much appreciate RRP for giving us the ability to see this, really love observing the activity on the flyway.

BL   Good to know.  Figured something like that had to be in place while you take off on your adventures.  ;)  Love that unique instrument in Playing for Change

CLYNN   Nice saying this AM   Great screen cap on the flyway.  :o

Lani - Like the Sunday blessings pic  :)  Yes we did have a great few days away from home - rest/relaxation poolside - and took walks too - high temps averaged 75 each day last week in San Luis Obispo.

LisaG - Enjoy something different for dinner!  Good for you in keeping up with the transformation from Thanksgiving decorations to Christmas!

Hi Beakers! I've been to the eye doctor this morning. Reading is still blurry after eye tests.
And I've got a headache.... I'll be back later! 8)

Hello Beakers

(https://media.makeameme.org/created/happy-monday-have-8857747a27.jpg)

Our Black Friday sale is over - we sold out on over half of the items and not much left of the rest.  Christmas product selling quickly as well - we did a lot of condensing over the weekend on Christmas stock.  Live trees and porch pots arrived last Monday and the porch pots are almost sold out - trees are going fast. 

Lisa - Bradley's new place has a garage - does it have a driveway to the street - Google map does not show one, but the street view is from 2019.

We got about 2 inches of snow Sunday - temps have dropped - staying below 32 today and Tuesday. - low of 9 for the morning.

Lani - Hope your headache goes away soon. 

oldguy - I had to get some clarification on your question about the garage.  It is a detached garage with a drive in front of it, but not a drive to the street.  He said, you would have to drive your car in the yard to get to it.  He also said, it more of a workshop/shed then a garage, but you can put a single car inside it.

Howdy Beakers!  :D



TSK, Lulu is definitely a keeper!!   ;D ;) :-*  She has lots of kitten energy, for sure, but it sounds like she is going to grow into a really sweet laid-back, go-with-the-flow, loveable kind of kitty.  :) :-* :-*


My knees are not smiling.  ::)  I'm glad it wasn't walking weather out yesterday, because they needed a major rest.  They woke up pretty stiff and sore this morning, but improved a lot after I was up a bit and took an ibuprofen with hot coffee.  So I was able to get out for a 30-minute walk this afternoon, to keep them loose and moving.  I adjusted my pace considerably, though. They hung in there.  I kept today's walk to nearby mostly-flat pavement - walked to my nearby "Bluebird Lane," but the Bluebirds were a no-show today.  ;) :D  It was a bit breezy and cooler, so it was brisk.  It will be more so tomorrow, so I may need to bundle up into a for-real jacket tomorrow. We'll see.  :)


P.S.  I don't know about some of you, but I'm keeping my warm socks on my feet!!!   ;) ;) ;D



Stay warm, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Some very pretty BD cards for Eburg and Neva.

Lani how are   your 'eyeballs'?  Hopefully much better.  I have frames like your  AM
 poochie ---I hate them. What ever posessed me?  ::) 

Lisa I drank all the cocoa this AM and took the cup home to wash.  ;D
Bradley's 'garage' may have possiblilties. Wonder if there's room for a bonified garage on the property?
. 
Old Guy  congrats on the snowfall.  ;D---seriously tks for the links, Q-kids and all.  Will check out later.

Thanks Lisa for the additional info - that is what I was expecting from Google Maps.  The house is on a Cul-de-sac so the front lot width is short and the back is long - pie shaped -  There may not be enough room between house and neighbor's property line to fit a driveway.

PHYL   Like the evening New Yorker - the days before TV and electronics  ::)

KAREN   Thanks for bringing the good news at SWFL 2 eggs  :)- you are right - No owl trespassing.

Clynn - Great picture at the Black Eagle Project Roodekrans.

Tsk - Thanks for the reminder of Eburg & Neva's birthdays!

Lani - Have a good evening. :)

Phyl - Good for you in the decorating you are doing!  I am having a hard time getting motivated to decorate.  Everyday seems to busy with obligations and things to do, so I have not started my indoor decorating for Christmas.

Og - Busy time at the store! Will you be working more hours during the holidays?

Baz - Cute birthday greetings for Eburg & Neva!  Good that you are walking, but take care not to over do. ;)

Karen - Great news on two eggs at SWFL!    NO OWLS.

Clynn, Regarding your question about Aly happy to be busy? It's been emotionally difficult year for her. She has a soft heart and wants to mend the world... the Flyaway pic of the 12 eagles is fantastic.... Juv 23 is a stunning black eagle juvie! Gorgeous.... prayers for safe travel for Erin and family.

Phyl, glad little Coypu made it up on the ice.... my eyes are much better tonight. Thanks.

Tsk, YAY sweet Lulu, she passed the Christmas decorations test!   ;D ....  I guess I will need cataract surgery on my left eye in a year or so...

Eagles, sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation!  8) Hi to your mom and sis!  ;D

Oldguy, sounds like a successful Thanksgiving weekend! ... Love the Pentatonix Christmas song. Now, I've got to listen to more of their songs while typing this.... Maru, Hana, Miri  :-*

Lisa, I wondered about the new home's shed/garage.... yes, my headache was gone by late afternoon. But, it took my eyes a few hours to get back to normal.

{{{Baz}}} I hope your knees will be smiling tomorrow... good for you to keep the joints moving.... it was cold and windy here too. Take care.

Karen, great news about the 2 eggs at SWFL!! Prayers for the owls to stay away!  :-*

Hi Puff :)

Kb, love the dog/cat sharing stool. LOL! Cat looked perturbed. LOL!

Eburg! I hope you had a great day! Meadowlark has a pretty song!  ;D

KB have to agree with Bird Eckler's comment  ;)

Lisa A thought ---Bradley,  since no room on either side of the house  like my old house in Mo.---  I had a garage  built in the back of my house in Webb City. I had it added later and attached my backyard  privacy fence to it. The driveway spilled into the alley. Do they have an alley between the streets?

Karen  great news ... 2 eggs at SWFL! Go away owl.

Lani glad your eyes are better, sweet ;Good Night baby

Bazi hopefully  happier knees today

Lani, I remember you had said that about Aly before, that she wanted to save everyone...I was hoping the change might have resolved some of that feeling that she was responsible for every person she helped. She is such a gentle and caring person, and she chose a difficult career, but I bet that she has helped others more than she knows... Love the Meadowlark song!

Phyl, love the 365, an owl, a deer and those beautiful turkeys!  13 here right now, 35 for the high today.  :o Today is Giving Tuesday! Thanks for the reminder!  Great pics in Amy's Blog, I see the eagles on the log got posted in the blog! When I see your sunrise pics I always think of the city waking up...Great cover on the New Yorker last night, Dad in his suit and tie, Mom in her dress, 1948.

E4E, I haven't done any Christmas decorating yet either! Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving, but Erin was gone. He always helps us get all the stuff out, so it will be this weekend.

kb, love the dog and cat on the stool, wonder which one fell off first? Here's another fun video:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/319474167325498400/

tsk, sounds like Lulu is a good cat! Unlike Harley, aka Turdbutt.

oldguy, thanks for all the links, still working on them! I may have to visit Menards this week, they usually have great Christmas stuff!

History Three Thousand · The Dyerville Giant was a massive sequoia the fell in 1991 in Humboldt Redwood State Park. At the time it was considered one of the tallest trees in the world measuring 362 ft. tall (larger than The Statue of Liberty). It was 17 ft. wide and 57 ft. in circumference. When it fell, the ground beneath it moved the earth so much that it registered on a nearby seismograph. The sound was so loud that those who heard it said it sounded like a train had crashed. Today in the park you can walk the entire length and marvel at its massive root structure. The tree was estimated to be between 1600 and 2000 years old.

For the life of me, I only count 6 barn owls, not 7...Beakers?...I even opened the picture up wide. Also, what pray tell is that noise in the background?

Phyl - yes on her comment....LOL, however the puppy sure looks happy with it's non stop tail wagging.
Kids, I tell ya.

tsk - thankfully, I fell asleep during the Vikings game as I heard it was a total disaster on our part!..You do remember we don't have our multi million dollar QB or wide receiver among many..That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

No Ollie man, we are not walking again today, so sorry...won't be up to 22 or so till noonish...
tomorrow however looks good ;)

HI EVERYONE

12 degrees  :o :o  heading to 24

KB   That is too funny...Good thing the Dalmation was still a puppy  LOL  That 7th owl must be behind??

EAGLES   No worries.  Thanksgiving was early this year - You have an extra week to decorate.  LOL  I looked into next year and Thanksgiving is really late  Nov 28th!

LANI   The technology on cataract removal has so improved as the years go by.   Doc said I could wait a bit still.   Elvis did some great songs - I always liked "Mother and Child Reunion" and " Can't Help Falling in Love with You" too.

PHYL   Lots of nature in 365  Liked the last shot!  ;D   Good vids on Amy's blog - Interesting duck hunting and north interloper.

CLYNN   A tree 57' in circumference is hard to imagine  :o

Morning - tsk, Puff, tig and all  :)

Lani - I am glad headache is gone.  My eyes seem to take a long time too, to get back to normal after being dilated.

E4E - I am like you with the decorating.  The tree and stockings are up, and that is it.  I may not do all the extra this year.  Jeff has not even mentioned putting the lights on the house.

kb - Too cute....If it fits, I sit   

oldguy - I think you are correct in how the house sits on the property.  They close on Dec 4, and we are helping them move some things that weekend, so I will get to take a look at it then.

Phyl - Glad you enjoyed the cocoa!  I don't think there is an alley.  He said, there is a really nice privacy fence around the property, and on each side of the house is a double date to open the fence. Thanks for 365, DOTY, and RRP post.

baz - Hope your knees are feeling better today. 

clynn - Thanks for the SWFL update...Congrats to M15 & F23!!!!  Sad the old tree fell, but the root structure is amazing!

tsk, so many good Elvis songs, hard to pick one! I was always moved by 'You Gave Me A Mountain'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxNlpZxVR7E   Mother and Child Reunion from another wonderful pair of musicians, Simon and Garfunkel.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS59-z3aE2c   Thanks for the opening to post some music!

Lisa, December 4 is less than a week away! Doesn't seem possible, where does the time go...  Erin and Family got home yesterday afternoon, back to school and work today!

Eburg - Always great to see you! Hope your day was special!

Lani - Glad your eyes feel good and that your headache went away! :)     I have an Eye appt this morning, but I don't believe i will need to get dilated, as I will be receiving the results of a Field Vision Test that I had a couple of weeks ago.   

Phyl - Beautiful 365.  Yes- giving Tuesday @ Decorah!  Like the cam pics  :)

Clynn - So helpful of Erin to come and help get the Christmas stuff out - bet you look forward to this weekend. :)   Beautiful pics at SWFL!   Amazing picture of the fallen giant sequoia and thank you for the story behind it.    Wow-no 'down' time for Erin & the family with getting right back to school & work today!   Love the amazing picture of the rolling cloud deck at the bridge!

Kb - Agree with you; a good day to stay in with Ollie. :)

Tsk - Very chilly in your area - bundle up and stay warm & comfy  :)

LisaG - I think I will cut down on the decorating too - probably do what you did! 

Beakers have a nice day - stay safe & warm!

E4E -  :D

Morning karen  :)

Has anyone heard from jaspurr lately?  I emailed her a couple times, and have not heard back.  I am a lil worried and concerned.  If anyone has, can you PM me and let me know, she is ok.

Good morning Beakers!
Hi 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 ;D

Eagles, I hope you get good results from your eye doctor.

Tsk, I told him I would wait awhile too. Now, I understand why I keep thinking my glasses are dirty. LOL! I'm constantly cleaning the lens.  ;D ... I posted that particular Elivis song because it spoke to my heart as well as the baby in the good night post. May we all know where our children sleep at night, safe and loved... I wish for Peace and for protection of all God's children and creatures big and small. My good night's post reflect my thoughts at the moment. I'll say no more  :-*

Kb, there is 7 owls. It's behind the owl on the far right of your screen. Enlarge the screen and at the 40 sec mark, watch the top of the owl's head and you will see one move right behind it.... If the cow didn't, she did a good job of covering her "faux pas" as Phyl would say. LOL!

Hi Puff, Lisa  :)

Clynn, Look at those precious SWFL egglets! Life goes on.... your Pinterest link is gone... love morning posts... thanks for your thoughts on Aly... I miss her help too. I'll have to get someone to help me put up the garland over the front door this year. I tried on Sunday but I couldn't see the nail close up. I'll have to figure this out.... sad about the old tree, awww the history of life that has occured around it's growth. I feel like its Treebeard from Lord of the Rings. LOL!  ;D .... you found the 7th owl too!  ;D I knew it had to be there if the owner of the cam had been watching these babies.... Happy to hear Erin and family arrived home safely and back to their routine!  ;D ... awesome pic of the Mackinac Bridge.

Phyl, I haven't had French toast in years... Peaceful nature video this morning, gorgeous closeup of owl, glad to see a few turkeys made it through Thanksgiving... Lovely sunrise pics.... darn that Arthur! Harvey gets in my way alot.

Lisa here's your cup back all nice, clean and ready for a refill.  ;D  Gosh too bad about no alley. But,  nice they have that out building that was
kept up.

E4E wishing you the best at the optometrist

CLynn that cloud deck rolling into the Mackinac Bridge  :o. Imagine being stuck in that? Will check out it's video. Thanks for SWFL update--- ;)
That massive sequoia sad it's gone.  Remember LOTR and the giant trees ...the Hobbits riding in 'Treebeard' ?    So happy to hear the kids made it home safely.

Tsk I had never heard 'You gave me a mountain.'  from Elvis.  Tks for the link, will listen .   All the others I have though.

KB yep! the dog was thrilled to be with his kitty pal.  So funny cow sliding downhill on her butt. Good idea to stay indoors w/Ollieman.
I did the front porch for  Christmas, well more for Winter with evergreens yesterday. And, it was cold!
The titanium plate in my neck felt like a sheet of ice, as I didn't have my neck wrapped. The cold radiated down my spine  seemingly to trouble L -4, 5- and 6. Let's not forget S-1.
It was my own fault and the whole 'haste thing' to get out and get 'it' done.

Lani cute pooch with red bow.  {{{you missing Aly}}}   Have always wished the best for your girls--esp Aly in her career. She'll do a lot of good.
How cool you read LOTR books. You have the DVDs too?  ;)

I rested yesterday. Today, after watching the funeral service and crying a lot, I gave second floor a good cleaning. That just leaves the dining room and living room to do. Then, I can start decorating. Not doing much this year. I brought up some big pine cones my Mom had in storage in the basement. I'll weave some lights in between on top of the organ. Etc. The tree with our Pooh ornaments and our Pooh socks.  :o

Here's another view of Shelf cloud over the Mackinac Bridge.  Showed this to Jim and he called it a 'cloud roll'. Saying they usually come before severe weather i.e. T-storms. And are along the edge of a cold front. It's lifting the air up and infront of itself-causing that roll.

I also watched the funeral/Memorial service this afternoon!   i had a brief personal interaction with Mrs.  Carter in a book store.  She was talking with her 0a very young girl who had just selected a few books and I was impressed with her getting down to the child's level and her conversation with her!  I hope, the now adult remembers it as well as I did!  She signed some books for me before going back to the white House. A very vibrant, charming compassionate woman.

Dare I say, Yea Bears!

I havent done any indoor Christmas decorating yet but may start tomorrow!  Have a few things ro do outside which I will finish soon!

My steam mop died yesterday so spent some time finding and ordering a new one!   Should be here on Friday!   They do a great job and no need for chemicals on the floor!

Clynn, that picture of the cloud and the
Mackinac Bridge is something!  WOW!  I would be terrified  if I was driving up there and such a cloud rolled in!  Oh My!

Lisa, do you think Jaspurr is away for the holiday?  I was thinking of her and the kitties the other day.

Lani and Eagles, hope your eye exams are good!   Lani, cataract surgery is good!  You will be thrilled with the difference it makes!

Have to clean up the kitchen!

Butt slide, lolol

PHYL   Another great pic of the cloud roll.

KAREN   What a neat experience to have had an interaction with Mrs Carter.  They were/are wonderful people.   For the Bear/Viking game I actually went to bed with about 5 minutes left - clicked on the PC this AM and to my amazement they won.  Don't know how they did it with so many penalties - 4 turnovers tho I think.   Is that a steam mop for tile surfaces?   I last heard from Jaspurr on Nov 23.

LISA   I last heard from Jaspurr on Nov 23 last Thurs.

My parents were square dancers in the early days of Eagle Mountain Mine, before I was born. They often dance with The Merry Miners locally.


Oh I almost forgot this one... ::)

Tsk  My mom also made all of her dresses and costumes.     ;D ;)     All this was before I was born and Larry/Dan were just boys.  In school teachers often made time in class for
students to learn and practice. The dance is such fun and I love it!

BL, sounds like you're just itchin' to go play in the snow!

karen, what a wonderful memory of Rosalyn Carter! I watched most of her service yesterday, her Grandson did a beautiful eulogy, he had the people laughing and crying... She accomplished so many things that I didn't even know about. So sad to see Jimmy looking so frail. It reminded me of my Dad's last few days. I don't think he will last long now that she is gone.

New pictures of our kittens, these are the two we are getting. A female Blue Point and a male Seal Point. Can't wait!

Watertown, N.Y.
Abraham Abraham & Nathan Straus, the two retailers who built their twin summer mansions on Cherry Island in 1899, had a long history of philanthropy. Straus, who later acquired a general partnership with the Macy’s Department store in 1888, retired in 1914, devoting his time to charity. According to Wikipedia, he served 1,135,731 penny meals for the unemployed during the winter of 1914-1915. The next year, he sold his yacht, Sisilina, to the Coast Guard and used the proceeds to feed war orphans and later fed returning American Servicemen from WWI. 
Abraham also had a long history of “endeavors as a leader in all that made for the betterment of Brooklyn and its institutions, and his work as a leader in the civic life of the borough.” His accomplishments are too numerous to list here.

The Twin Pine Tree House
Located on Cherry Island, the green Twin Pine home was once half of a perfect pair. Built and owned by Nathan Strauss and Abraham Abrams, co-founders of the A&S Department Stores of New York City, the mirror image homes were an ode to the twin sisters the men married. Sadly, the friends & business partners were separated by tragedy. Abraham suffered a Heart Attack and passed away on the Island; Strauss’s brother was on board the Titanic, a loss that changed him forever. In spite of this Abraham’s son and Strauss’s daughter married and turned the remnants of the A&S department store into what we now know as Macey’s Department Stores. Unfortunately, only one of these magnificent homes remains today. What came of the demolished house? The foundation was repurposed into a massive in-ground pool!

Morning all,

30 above and heading to the mid 40's...oh just an hour or so of that but going to spend some time outside today for sure.

speaking of square dancing. My grandmother did it till her death at 99....most of her "partners" started to pass in her early 90's so it became more rare...She only died as a much younger walking partner fell on top of her while walking and broke grandmother's hip...then a medical disaster followed..
Pretty long life esp. for that time and I attribute it to good genes and active lifestyle. also a long time swimmer.

Rumor has it that Rutt is possibly in the Ada MN area now in Moose Country and probably not to be seen again. Godspeed Rutt!

Kb - Good question on that vid with the cow!

Lani - I have very small cataracts in each eye, but they are so small, that he said we won't do anything about them right now.  Thinking of you and how much you miss Aly {{Lani}}

Tsk - I love all music/songs by Elvis - including Christmas!   Just read your parents were Square dancers too!  Your Mother must have been quite an amazing seamstress!

Tig - Have fun with decorating  :)

Puff  :)

Phyl - Great picture of the shelf cloud over Mackinac Bridge - glad to read how it forms!  Liked your night pic.  How wonderful that your parents did Square dancing! :)  Your Mother was an amazing seamstress!!    Cute little squirrel digging in the snow for acorns in Nature365. :)

Karen - How lucky it was that you were in the bookstore that day :)  such a memorable & special moment. :)

Love Christmas - EVERYTHING!

Thanks for the tour clynn.  I've heard about it but never done it.  Bucket list 2024?

Made alterations thru the years but the WH for sure has me beat.  What a wonderful presentation.  But they can't better me in spirit. . .  More recently than before, the last 5 years or so Ton and I made changes that were smart, now mandatory.  Got the "bug" from my Dad.  He once made a biplane, to scale and silk on the wings, with Santa in the front seat and a bag of presents in the jumper seat.  Had a slanted runway, center marked and blue side lights (we lived within mile of Midway).  It made the rounds with the family and others.  Even hung it off the ceiling of the snack shop Ton had.  Every time he worked on it he had to wear his Santa hat.

I'm trying to keep the spirit going but I still am being forced to "adapt".
DANG
First it was body issues.  Then they took away my ladder.  I was only 5'3" now under 5'1".   And as with many of us, bending, squatting, reaching, carrying, and  trying to move the next day have become no-nos!

BUT IN MY HEART THE SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS BE !!!!!!

(This stinks.  :'(  )

Good morning Beakers!
Hi 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, looks like we're both have eye issues, thank goodness surgery way down the road for us. I've been busy texting with Aly this morning. She's trying to help me find someone to help with putting up the Christmas garland over the front door. And Dewey's mad at her and giving her the death stare. Poor Dewey is lonely for a buddy to play with.. You have a good day too.

Kb, sweet puppy yoga pose... thanks for Rutt update

Phyl, cute "stocking up" nature vid... thanks for RRP annual report.

Clynn, Is this a special trip for Ed and Kelsy? Are they picking up the sweet kittens? Karen calls them Betty and Buddy, is that their names? ... It's a beautiful setting for the Twin Pine Tree House and it's history of Abrams & Straus is very interesting.

{{{Puff}}} wonderful Christmas memories  :-* .... I've mine too, especially when I put on Christmas music to add to the decorating spirit. Remember family Christmases for 20 and now just 4 of us... I'm having ladder battles too.

Wonderful square dancing memories of Beak parents!

CLYNN   Wish I had saved my girl scout sash - I think we had a dancing badge  ;)   Not taken as political - they always go WAAAY out for this.  Can you imagine how hard it is to get in and see it all?    While Ed and Kelsey are gone - Boy can you get a lot done - decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking, "purging"  ;) ;)   WOW  You picked out your kitties already.  Exciting.   What an amazing story about Abrams and Strauss.  Can't imagine the cost of building and maintaining those homes.  :o

KB   Cute dog  :)   What a freaky accident for Grandma leading to her demise.  I'd say at 99 she had a good active life.

PUFF  Dad's biplane story - WOW

LANI   No word of mouth "handyman" in your  neighborhood?  We have a "Township office " that keeps a list of handymen for seniors.  Don't know if there is something like that in your area

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)



Tsk, I used to think the weather affected my joints, but now it's a rare day they don't hurt, so the weather doesn't seem to make a difference.  I just try to ignore it, much as I can.  ;) ;D

Karen, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!  You're on a roll!  ;D

Clynn, oh... those kittens look sooooo sweet!!  :-* :-*  I'm just now catching up on a couple days of posts.  Just to think of a tree that was tall enough to have been able to shade the head and raised arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty! A 2,000 year-old tree. Just amazing.  :-* :-*  That story of the twin mansions on Cherry Island... I swanee, some super-rich people sure do some weird-ass s*&^%$#@it.  ;D ;)



I used to do a lot of Contra Dancing - loads of fun!
https://www.masterclass.com/articles/contra-dancing

I walked 27 minutes today. My knee (and ankle and foot) are way better, but I still kept it fairly short. I waited till noon, after the temps got up to 40, and the wind had laid down, so it wasn't bad in the sun. Pretty day, despite the colder temps. A hawk was screeing over and over, and I knew he had to be nearby because of how loud it was, but I couldn't see him, till I turned around and started walking back, and then I found him - top of the sentinel tree in his environs. I didn't have my binocs, but I think he was a Red-Shouldered Hawk.  He was very insistent with his calls, maybe saying, "Mine, all mine!"  I wanted to say, "I hear ya, buddy!"  :D :-*

Meet the Amazing Jaguar

The jaguar (Panthera onca) stands as the third-largest big cat on the planet and the only big cat in the Americas,  effortlessly blending grace with raw power. They resemble the leopard, but their coat displays larger and more spaced-out rosettes, often with central spots inside each, creating a less clustered pattern.

These big cats live mainly in the Americas, adapting to different environments. They are found in the Amazon Rainforest (Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia), Pantanal Wetlands (Brazil), Gran Chaco (Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia), and Cerrado biome (Brazil). They also roam through Central America (Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala) and the Yucatán Peninsula (Mexico).
Despite their adaptability, jaguars are at risk due to habitat loss. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these majestic cats across their diverse habitats.

Jaguars mean a lot to people living where they roam. They are not just strong predators but symbols of power in indigenous cultures. These big cats are part of local stories and traditions, representing a connection to nature. Some see them as guardians or special beings. Jaguars also bring economic benefits through wildlife tourism, creating jobs. However, in places where people farm, jaguars can cause issues. Conservation efforts aim to find solutions that let people and jaguars live together peacefully, respecting these amazing creatures’ cultural and natural heritage.

Puff, maybe an even newer pair on N1, would that be possible? Oh, I was watching a re-run of an NCIS show, one I must have missed, but McGee and Torres were watching a Bald Eagle's nest that had eggs, and it reminded me of my first year watching the cam in 2011. That first year was very scary! And these guys were the same way. I asked Google what nest, he told me it was The Big Bear nest, Jackie & Shadow.  https://www.vvdailypress.com/story/news/2023/03/15/artist-paints-bald-eagles-jackie-and-shadow-who-appeared-on-ncis-tv-show/70006521007/  Bob Anderson had no idea what he started in 2011! I know Luther College had a cam there a couple of years earlier, but 2011 was the year it went viral!

Phyl, leopards are so beautiful! I don't know how anyone could ever shoot one... or wear a coat made from their fur...

baz, I have never heard of contra-dancing! I was hoping there was a video. There wasn't so I found one:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3StARgH_fM  Looks like fun!

kb, it got to 54 here today! Snow all gone!

Lisa, we have a Carters/OshKosh here, I was a regular customer when Bella was little! So many and such cute baby outfits! Then go look at the little shoes!  This is crazy, but Cracker Barrell, in their store, always has adorable outfits for babies!! I have also shopped Old Navy! Cute stuff there too!

tsk, I still have my Girl Scout badge sash somewhere! I don't remember if I got the Dance badge or not!  I had badges all the way down the front and starting up the back of the sash. I was in all the way through Cadet level, always a big thing on an Air Force Base.

Lani, Ed and Kelsey usually go to Springfield sometime around August/September. The schedule got kind of out of wash with covid. Ed's sister Patty from Georgia and his niece, also from GA will be there for a few days to visit with Ed's sister Gina. They wanted to see him, so he and Kelsey are going to leave Friday and will be back Wednesday. The kittens won't be ready until the end of December and we haven't got a date yet, but Ed and Erin are going to go pick them up. I think. I would really like them to stay with their Mama until they are 10 weeks old...we shall see. I think they were born about November 12th.

E4E, I am like you, have the beginnings of cataracts but not bad enough for surgery yet! I sure have noticed a change in the last several months though!

Yesterday in America  · Cashiers at the grand opening of a Piggly Wiggly in Encino, California in 1962.  Piggly Wiggly was the first self-service grocery store. It was founded in 1916 in Memphis, Tennessee. At the time of its founding, grocery stores did not allow customers to gather their goods. Instead, a customer would give a list of items to a clerk, who would then collect them throughout the store. This created greater costs and higher prices. Piggly Wiggly introduced the innovation of allowing customers to go through the store, gathering their goods, thus cutting costs and lowering prices. Losses due to easier shoplifting were more than offset by profits from increased impulse purchasing. This style of grocery store came to be known as a "groceteria", reminding people of cafeterias, another relatively new, self-service idea.  Today, there are 499 Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in the Midwest and South.

clynn & all  I got addicted at about the same time.  I remember hearing about PBS showing, watched their hour-long show just after holiday (January?) when Christmas had passed.  Checked out mention at the end of PBS show - Now RRP is the second stop on the puter in the morning (weather first).  2011 was a good year.  First watched eagles, saw laying of eggs, first pip, first hatch. . .life has never been the same.

I also thought single adult was  HM but was hard to be sure.  When there was the pair I was even less certain.  I hope what we're all hoping for comes to "wishes granted".

Your mention of years of eye exams followed about the same routine for me.  Had  to renew license as January is my month.  Took the written test, took the eye test. That's when the examiner suggested  ::)  I see my eye guy before I come back next renew time.  Eye exam, one eye, waited a month, second eye.  Cleared to go by the end of March.  After years of watching, getting new glasses $$$, doc said OK.  It was done!  It was about 15-20 minute procedure each time/eye.  No more glasses.  But again I always like to forewarn to be careful with the eye drops and the directions.  You have to make sure to avoid the evil infection at all times, follow the rules/mandates.

Had square dancing and the Virginia reel lesson's in Elementary school!   Thought it replaced a PE class!   My favorite country dance is Clogging but I cannot do it.  My first introduction was in Asheville, NC on Friday Night music or something on the green!   Great fun!   Watched but too old to make my feet go that fast!   Baz, sre you familiar with this?   You must be!
No stuff stored today and nothing out!
Vertigo very bed!   
Finally found a friend who disappeared when I was in the home!  A girl I have known since  we were 3 1/2!  Can you believe it?   She moved and has a new phone  number!  Sent it in a Christmas card!
Clynn, maybe Stella
 and Stanley?

Have a good night and watch N1!    I am still a fan of the Y
Seds

Lisa, pretty scene this am and glad you heard from Jaspurr!

Karen, so sorry your vertigo is bad right now. I hope it's better tomorrow! Glad your friend sent the card with her new contact info!  I also learned those dances you mentioned in elementary school, and then one section of PE class in junior high school was for learning all different kinds of international folk dances - Irish, Scottish, Russian, Mexican, etc. LOL. I sure know about clogging! I sure can't do it!! LOL!  It's so similar to some Irish and Scottish dances, and even though I haven't looked up its history, I would guess it is derived from Scot-Irish dancing since so many people in the NC/Appalachian area were settlers/immigrants from Scottish, and some Irish, families.

Clynn, I hope the kittens can stay with their momma cat as long as you would like them to be able to! Maybe the owner will be able to do that. They look so sweet and pretty.  :) :-* :-*  Contra dancing is a total blast! It's so casual, unlike square dancing, though many of the steps are the same. But it is based on lines of dancers, rather than 4-some dancer groups. I got into it back in the 1991-1992 timeframe, when I lived in a fun old neighborhood in Winston-Salem, NC, the former home of the NC Dance Theater (which moved to Charlotte). The building that was that dance company's rehearsal and administrative home was left vacant when they moved. Then it was bought and used for dancing, performances, art shows, and other events. I lived right down the street from it for a couple of years, and they started a regular contra dance night there. You didn't need to know how to do contra dancing to take part - they had lessons the hour before, and people just showed you as you went during the dance, as well as the callers with the live bands also teaching you how to do the steps before, and during the dance. I always ended up laughing my butt off because I would sometimes get lost, but always having so much fun. The whole nature of it is everyone is welcome, and the more skilled dancers help bring along the newcomers, thankfully. All different kinds of people, and all ages and styles, go and have fun dancing with each other. No one was a stranger, even though I didn't know a single one of them! LOL. A fun time is always had by all, and it is a workout, too!!

This write-up from 2004, more than 10 years after I was there, is about that same venue (the Vintage Theatre) that I used to go to for contra dancing in the neighborhood I lived in back then. That dance theatre had not been renovated yet when I was there. Contra dancing goes way back, but it was kind of a new fun thing to do around there back when I went, and wasn't nearly as organized as it is now, but that venue for it sure got to be well-known by contra dancers far and wide.

This is kind of a long story (from 2004) about it, but if you read the whole shebang, it gives a good depiction of the feel and color of the place and the contra dancing there, the people who go there, and why it is so popular:

And here's a youtube video of a night of contra dancing at that same venue (The Vintage Theatre), from 2012, which was ten years after I was a regular there:

Kb, 50 sounds pretty good to me. Considering it's been in the low 30's every morning when Sadie and I head out for our walk. It'll be 29 degrees Saturday.

{{{Tig}}} take care

Clynn, sounds like a nice family visit for Ed and Kelsey.... You will be able to get a lot of things done while they are gone... your Contra Dancing video was better than what I found. A larger group, looks like fun.... never seen a Piggly Wiggly except on Driving Miss Daisy.... sweet mama Flamingo and chick.

{{{Karen}}} glad you heard from your childhood friend.  :) I hope you're able to get a good night sleep and feel better tomorrow.  :-*

Good night!

Karen good time as any to put away autumn decor and think about winter and Christmas. How's Piper?  it is so nice to hear from old friends

Lani I always play Christmas music when I decorate for the holiday. Makes it more festive

Lisa you did some shopping didn't you?  ;)   So glad you heard from Jaspurr--all's well.

CLYNN  I second that - Bob had NO idea!!  Now the whole world can eavesdrop on Nature at its best and worst.  One good thing that has come out of the age of cyberspace...Mom was a Brownie and Girl Scout leader  It ended for me after 8th grade.  Enjoyed the history of the groceteria  LOL   The photo was remarkable  ;)  Piggly Wiggly is the grocery chain in Door County.  ;)

KAREN   WOW  Did you call your friend from the past?    Does she live in Georgia?   Steady as she goes today with your dreaded vertigo.  :(

BAZI   Love your description of your contra dancing experience.  I would get lost too, I thought, after watching a video.

KB   " no words needed"  ;D   Ollie looks like a small German shepherd in that pic.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY BISCHUE

kb, very sad looking dog...

Phyl, that is a beauty of a sunrise! Very pretty in the Alps today, I looked at their weather. 35 degrees, snow and rain for a few hours. I am always amazed at those goats and how they manage those slopes! Memories of the past, your Mom was a seamstress as was mine! She made most of our dresses when we were young. By 7th grade I started sewing for myself! We had Home Ec. in Jr. High, quite rare. I got a Singer Athena in the 1976, I bet I put a million miles on that machine. Didn't have to replace it until 2004! I will join you and E4E on the waiting for cataract surgery list!

tsk, well, it's now a countdown to Christmas! Lots going on in December, as always!

Lani, Ed is watching the weather forecast, checking for snow tomorrow... and I am itching to get down to the Mole Hole and purge a bit! We don't have any Piggly Wigglys here either, I just thought it was wow, how the cashiers were dressed!  And I have never heard that people couldn't do their own shopping but gave their list to the cashier to fetch their groceries! Kind of like when customers weren't allowed to pump their own gas! You are having some COLD mornings! Does it get colder than that later in the winter?

baz, that was a good article about the Contra Dancing, I noticed in the video that people just come and go, they just work their way in or out, nothing formal. It looks like a lot of fun! Probably invented by those who couldn't adhere to the perfectness of the Square Dance! Very good video, all skill levels! Looks like you turn around and dance with whoever lands facing you!

karen, so glad to hear you found an old friend! That vertigo needs to go! I have never had it but my sister Becky has. She doesn't get it very often though.

Puff, I agree, life has never been the same since connecting with the Decorah Eagles and all of the friendships gained!

SWFL - 11-30-23  Good Morning!  F23 moves off the eggs, stretches then goes to the attic.  M15 moves to the nest and is incubating within 30 seconds! These two are great! ❤️

Tsk I hung our stockings yesterday in their usual 'spot'. Yes Maggie has her own little stocking too. My Mom made all the family stockings.
I was seven years old when she did them. Now the white  is turned yellow from age---wow! 60 yrs ago. I miss mom.
Jim and Maggie's stockings I purchased from Hobby Lobby here in Nashville and used liquid tube craft paint to add names. Then I hand sewed the bells on
Jim's stocking. My sewing machine is perpetually 'broken' as I can never find a repair that last more than a few stitches. Yes  I have a Singer my mom bought me back in
the 1980s. I think the journey out here jlggled 'something'. I had it in it's case in the back seat of my Mercury for the trip out here in 1999.  :(

Lani -   Yes, a good clothes shopping day, now to find some things to play with for her. :D

CLynn cute fried eggs with strawberry hearts this AM.  This old world/planet needs a lot of---boat loads of love .  :-*
Little girl painting daises,  ;
I went back to look at the rest of  yours posts from yesterday--grocery store clerk costumes and they did the leg work shopping for customers. Reminds me of the
personal shoppers we have now i.e. Publix---just email the store one's list and a shopper takes a cart  and grocery shops while chatting w/you via cell phone. Pays for it and dirves to you home and drops  the 'stuff' off.
The fllamingo was awesome---so pink. What a contrast to the chick she's feeding.
In case I didn't mention--safe travels for Ed and Kelsey tomorrow. Visiting relatives-what fun for Kelsey.
Will you need a dumpster for 'purging' the Mole Hole?  ;D
Many thanks for the  morning's SWFL update. What a pair indeed. Great snap

Hi guys, just wanted to say hi and let you know that grandma is feeling much better, unfortunately, she is just not home which are her wishes, however she is where she needs to be to get the care she needs right now.  Thank you for all of the thoughtful pm's, messages, cards, emails and texts from everybody with prayers for my sweet gamma.

I just talked to Lani, she is having some issues with the forum. After the birthday picture she successfully posted the forum she is trying to post just words and it is telling her that her picture is too large. She was not even trying to post a picture at the time. Is anyone else having any issues?

Lori, so good to see you, sure do miss you! Glad to hear that your Grandma is doing better! And how are you and Destini? Love the Elf on the Shelf hot tub party! And that snowman drowning in the snow!

E4E, we are all happier in this world because we have our Beaker friends! I feel like we know each other so well that if we met it would be like we were always friends... It's been 12 years for a lot of us, and many more years to come. Because there will always be eagles and things to talk about!

kb, wow, look at the claws on that bear! I still think it's a sad look on the dog.  :o

Lisa, cute bowl of soup! We may need a lot of that this winter!

Phyl, beautiful cake for blschue!  I love reading about how things were eons ago! Myers Bros Department Store in Springfield, a bit before my time there but when you paid, your $$ and handwritten invoice was put in one of those tubes and sent to the Accounting Dept where they would check it, add it up and make your change, then send it back to the clerk. I guess they didn't trust the clerks with money! I see you have a little stocking for Maggie too!

clynn - In 2011, Yahoo news had a front page article asking, "Would you like to see into an eagle's nest?" Why, yes, I would! Up pops an extreme close-up of Mom that filled the screen. I was frozen in place! And then this other eagle (Dad) flew in, landed right in front of Mom, and took off! I looked closely and said -out loud and at work - "He brought her a fish!" And here I am in 2023. ;D

T40, I know exactly what you mean...my son was at work and one of the girls was talking about a Bald Eagle nest in a town called Decorah, there were 3 eggs and one was hatching! He gave me the link and I pulled it up in time to see the first eaglet out of the shell! I was hooked too! Remember how we all had to look around the ps that was on the camera lense! No panning, just closeups. It was wonderful! I was on the edge of my seat a lot of the time watching, remember that awful storm, the tree was actually moving..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j90phejogY

He is very well behaved, and impeccably trained. I just adore him.  :-*
 He's my boyfriend. Yes! He is!   ;D ;D :-* :-*

Good Evening Beakers

Last night got very dark in this part of town - The substation that supplies power to the industrial parks and residential for the SE part of IC had a failure occur.  My computer is on a Backup PS - so I keep it going for 15 min. before shutting it down - the power company posted that repairs was expected to be completed by 10pm (2.5 hours of dark).  So I was surprised that the power for my area came back on after only 53 min.

Happy Birthday Bischue!  I hope you have had time top enjoy some of all your cakes!

Good posts Beakers!  2011 was definitely full of tense and nerve wracking stuff!  The first time I saw Mom laying in the snow, looking like a mound of snow was hair raising!

Corgis are nice dogs! 

Hope tomorrow's snow isn't too bad!  I am sure Ed and Kelsey will not take any chances!

Amanda , vet, came by this afternoon with a Christmas card that was 12 inches high.  It became a Christmas tree that stands and had 2 sheets of punch out ornaments to hang on it!  Just darling and is now standing on the end of my kitchen bar and is visible from all over!  A great replacement for my white ceramic pumpkins.

Very nice strawberry cake for Bischue

Lani RIP Dear Dot.  :-*

T40/CLynn   In 2011, Yahoo news had a front page article ...  this was before my time . But always a thrill and delight. Easy to get 'hooked' indeed. ;)

Bazi   'Dodger' the Corgi  must me 'in like with you'.  ;D

OldGuy tks for links.  Good ones I'm sure as usual. Will check out after chow.  ;) Never fun to loose electricity in the 'Berrrrr Months'.

CLYNN   I sure do remember the days we could not pump our own gas ... " Want me to check the oil, sir" to my Dad.

After I was a paper boy at 11 I became a petroleum transfer engineer at the age of 14 at a gas station/car wash.

I was there and had pretty much figured out the job.    Boss gone for the Holiday.

2 Idiots plus a 14 yr old. What could possibly go wrong. ?

The day before Thanksgiving this beautifully 70's dressed couple in there full wedding attire pull up in a Mint White VW Beetle.

On there way to their wedding. I don't judge.

um .. I said do U not see that huge horizontal bar luggage rack bolted to that bug  .. Idiots ?

Emergency Stop pushed too late.

It went straight up off the 'rails' from the brushes about 3' until the luggage rack installer cringed.

It dropped like a Bug from 3' up with like 4 perfect 'shotgun' holes from the inside. Like a tuna can but like TP. 

Now needless to say the soon intended to be blissful are not happy at 1st on this visage.

The groom says starting to laugh really hard to the very not happy bride to be  .. shit I never liked so & so anyway .. the bride then starts laughing hardily.

Moral of the story I ran into that very couple many years later a long away from the "incident" .

Still very happily married and they had made amends with the Bug owner too. 

30 years later in such a place.  :)
The 3 of us just stared howling with laughter as the facts started to jive quickly.   

The owner summarily dismissed all 3 of us 3 7 days later.
The end of my petroleum transfer engineer career.

Lori - Glad that your Grandma is feeling better, but that must be hard on all of you that she wishes to be at home.  Sending good thoughts to you and prayers for your Grandma.

LisaG - Thank you for passing along my message. :)    Cute 'feel better' for Tig  :)

Clynn - Your are so correct about being in the Beak - I feel as you do, that if any Beakers were to meet that have not yet met in person, that there would already be a special friendship and yes, there would always be Eagles and things in common to talk about!! :-* :)

Lani - Sorry about the forum issues - hope it gets resolved real soon.

T40 - I know your message was for Clynn - but love how you first came to know about the Decorah BEs and you are still here! :)

Baz - Cute birthday greeting for blschue!

Phyl - Thank you!   You & Jim have a nice evening  :)  Pretty evening picture.

Hi Oldguy - Like the birthday greeting for Blschue!   

Tsk - I have a similar story;  back in 2011, I was watching a local news channel and they showed a clip of the live cam with Mom & Dad Decorah and gave the link.  I signed on and the rest is history!!!!

Karen - What a beautiful surprise that Amanda brought you - very nice!!!   Hope you feel better and the vertigo subsides.

BL - Wow- that is quite a story - and with a happy ending!!!

Beakers have a good night  :)

BL, Oh, my! That wedding couple! I love 'way back' pictures... this one reminds me of the inside of Timberline Lodge in Oregon. I checked the Momo post, the location was answered in the comments, Tin Hat Mountain in Canada.  Put that one on your list.  https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/british-columbia/tin-hat-mountain-via-sunshine-coast-trail?u=i

Lani, I hate that you are having so much trouble posting! A Poof! can make one cry... I remember back in 2011 you and me and calhound were going to take grapes to Jewel and try to get a look at Herbie and Fern. You were the only one who could make heads or tails of those tiny cubs in the cam view.

E4E, I love how we can all remember when we discovered the eagles. And yes, we would be right at home with any Beakers we happened to actually meet! The only one I have met that is a Beaker was tsk!

Phyl, it does seem like you have been a Beaker forever! And I was only 59 when I joined, seems like decades ago... Originally the Decorah Lounge, then we split into The Beak Room and Cheers. Can't remember when that was. Love the picture of you and Jim on FB! You should post it here!

karen, oh your Christmas tree! Sounds pretty, is it a LovePop card? I got Mom one for Mother's Day last year, it was a bouquet of flowers, she loved it!

oldguy, power gone in the cold, not fun! Glad it didn't last too long! Thanks for the entertainment!

tsk, Ed decided to wait until tomorrow to head for Springfield. I am already getting stuff ready to donate though!  ;D ;D

What a brilliant idea!                                                                 The cast of the brilliant 1965 musical The Sound Of Music then and 50 years later in 2015 💖

Good Morning Everyone..

Currently 43F and cloudy  High  43 and rain,  Low 38 F   

Had some light rain last night. Will work on putting up garland and stringing it's lights downstairs.  Will add our Nativity to the livingroom. At this point I'm
not sure about adding a Christmas tree. I often feel more 'connected' to the season when I see the Nativity and Holy Family. I think I'll sting some delicate accent
lights in the Nativity like I've done in the past. I love seeing it displayed in the delicate lights. And, leave them lit all night to dawn.
 Jim will keep searching for a Toyota Camry to replace the Pontiac. So far no luck.  Lol he found one in Chicago though.
  Seriously, he going to check out a dealer ship after work today. I won't hold my breath.

Lani hopefully you'll have a better posting  day in The Forum.

BL   ;D 

CLynn I vaguely remember Beakroon and Cheers being as Decorah lounge. But, then shortly very shortly after I joined it bacame as it is now.
Interesting about the city of Holland, Michigan and it's streets.  Cool photo of  'The Sound of Music' cast.   Still very much learning about FB    ::)
 Somehow, I don't think the current issue will come to that.

Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; Linda and Ian, My  Alter prayer list
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Fun day for our block today - our ladies' Christmas get-together.  In the rain instead of snow OK.  The net big event is getting Christmas-ized.

Lani - Losing your post is such agony - I know the frustration - so sorry - wish your computer issues would disappear. :o ::) :(    Cute 'good night' tho!

BL - 1935 :)

Clynn - Probably a good idea for Ed & Kelsey to head out tomorrow. :)   I had forgotten that you've met Tsk!  I think we all know you had gotten to meet Annie, and every so often, someone posts the sweet picture of you both. :-*   I have gotten to meet Camperstig, and from the time we got together, it was like we had been friends for years!! ;D
Sounds like you are ready & motivated with your 'to do' list! ;) :)    Great pics of the cast of Sound Of Music. :)   

Phyl - Enjoy setting up your Nativity with your pretty delicate lights - so much joy!   Wishing that Jim can find a car that he will be happy with - especially one that wouldn't be too far away. :)
Liked nature 365-Cranes and lots of snow!   DOTY :)

Puff - Have fun with the event today! :)

Tsk - Wish you could share some of your rain over here!  Thanks for the reminder of Lil Bro's birthday!


Happy Birthday Lilbro!

clynn - I feel like making a bowl of that soup.  So glad you posted something from Andrew, as I have been wondering how the pups and he were doing.  Aww, Lani's Dot.

T40 - What a great memory, and glad you are still here.   :D

tsk - When I was a junior and senior in high school, I worked at the local Exxon.  It was a full-service station.  The girls who worked at the station were allowed to pump the gas, and clean the windshields. I wish I had a pic of me from back then doing that.   ;D

oldguy - Glad that the power company got the repairs done quickly.  Thank you for the videos.

karen - That is cool about the Christmas card turning into a tree! How is the vertigo today?  I hope better. 

BL - LOL, the end of your petroleum transfer engineer career.

E4E - You're welcome  :D

Lani - Sorry about your losing your posts. 

Phyl - Good luck to Jim on his car search.  Love the red mittens this morning. Thanks for 365, DOTY and RRP post. 

Puff - I am a banana a day, too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, lilbro...Miss you in here!

Lisa, love that unique teapot!  Below is a picture from my Texas visit, Jennifer was fixing a cup of tea for all of us! I would love to see a picture of you pumping back then! I follow the Momo FB page, just hadn't seen a post recently until now. I hope Andrew has been able to tame his demons...

So very glad that I got to meet her and Jerry!  And just like we say, it was like we had known each other for years!

Puff, what fun, a Ladies get together in the neighborhood! I wish they did that here! I do get together with Vickie and Joni across the street quite often, we like to sit in the driveway with a beverage and just talk when it's warm.

Phyl, post a pic of your lovely nativity scene with the pretty lights! Good luck to Jim on the car search!

When opening our blinds this morning in McGregor, I saw something on the ice.  After my eyes focused, this is what I saw.  There was an 8-pt. buck (with one tine missing) on the ice and couldn't stand up.  I called the Aitkin DNR and they came out and got it off.  They said that there were some wounds on it also from a coyote.  It could have bitten it on the ice, or it was running from it.  We're just glad we got him off and he ran away.

Courtesy of Paulette Kruger.

Awe, glad they got him off...yes, too many coyotes......McGregor is due north of me.

Rutt has been spotted on trail cams. As of yesterday he's near Perham, MN...northwest of me...they say lots of folks "up north" have trail cams so may be able to track him for awhile yet?

Been busy busy...heading out for a walk with Ollie, Later.

LISA   I know you did not ask my opinion but I think it is just fine.  ;) ;) It's educational and moves along with her growth  up to 3 years!!  Very well done gingerbread men.  I won't post my effort  :P :P

Clynn, I hope it was a fun visit with the Munchkins. I bet they loved their surprises. And maybe you got to put up your feet after they left and enjoy your favorite adult beverage.  ;)  Smooth travels tomorrow for Ed and Kelsey!  :)

Karen, I'm glad your vertigo is a little better. Fun card that Amanda the Vet brought you! You found a good place for it. You have been getting some nice decorating done, and I hope Piper continues to be well.

Lani, ugh on your post going POOF!  :P   I hope Mike is hanging in there okay. i've lost track of where he was headed next, but I was thinking it was Gila... but maybe those plans have been re-scheduled. Oh, I just remembered the Kansas game was tonight! I totally forgot! I'm going to check the score now... oh, they're up by 3 with 2 seconds left! fingers crossed! Oh, game over - Kansas won by 4 points!  Big game vs. UConn. Maybe that will help Mike feel better.  :D

I walked 34 minutes yesterday, and I had my walking shoes on today, ready to take an early afternoon walk, before the rain started. But one thing led to another, and the next thing I knew, the time slot I had to walk, between taking care of several items of business at home, and before running some necessary errands, got squeezed out completely! So I ended up changing out of my walking shoes and socks without ever going for my walk. It's supposed to rain off and on till Monday, but maybe there will be some "off" stretches long enough to get a walk in. We'll see.  :)


Goodnight, Beakers. Peace. SED.

LisaG - What an interesting job you had while you were in HS!!  I bet you met all sorts of people and could tell some funny stories!   Your gingerbread cookies are so cute!!

Phyl - Cute birthday greeting for Lilbro!

Clynn -  Have fun with your Munchkins!!   Like the picture of Jennifer!   I knew you wanted to get a jump start on clearing stuff out! ;D   That was a wonderful visit you had with Willi and I was so happy you posted some pictures!   Beautiful pic of HM  ;D

Lani - Cute pic this morning!  Glad your new phone is working out well for you! :)

Tsk - I bet that pretty soon you will be doing some holiday baking!

Kb - Wow- that poor deer, but so happy he got rescued!!

Puff - Bet you had a great day with the ladies!! ;D

Bazi - Yummy cake for Lilbro!

Karen - Good for you in the decorating you did - bet it all looks so pretty!

With talk here about Apples, I have to finally tell you Beakers that a couple of days ago (Nov.29th), I had an appt at the Orthodontist and got braces on my lower teeth.  Now I know you will be asking why at my age??! :o   This is why; my jaw is small and my lower teeth are crowded.  Slowly my lower teeth have shifted so much that a tooth in front is starting to shift outwards and it was getting pretty bad, and even my tongue could feel the difference.  So I had made an appt with my Dentist who referred me to an Orthodontist.    I could have chosen to let it be, but if it kept shifting outward, it might have needed to get pulled.   I did not want to have a lower tooth pulled if it doesn't need to be.   So, I made the decision to get my teeth straightened!
As you can imagine, I am learning to eat differently - soft foods right now as I am sore and getting used to these! :-[

Kb, glad they were able to rescue the buck.

Lisa, little ones grow up so fast. Sydney's first car will look perfect in the new home!... perfect gingerbread cookies!

Baz, delicious birthday cake for Lilbro! Mike is moving more comfortably this week. No long distance driving until mid-December. He has his MRI next Friday. It was a great game! Lots of noise at Allen Fieldhouse... even Ted Lasso was there.  ;D ... I bet you did more walking doing your errands and business!  Take it easy tonight. :-*

Karen, glad you're feeling better and able to do a bit of Christmas cheer around your home. Gentle hugs for Piper.

{{{Hugs Eagles}}} I hope the braces will help, take care  :-*...

Good night!

Lani, glad to hear that Mike is better this week, hopefully he can get the help he needs before he has to travel again... Love those bulldogs with their Christmas tree hats!

E4E, yes, I am itching to get to work on the Mole Hole. The Munchkins were good, that Bella is a hot mess! I think she has missed all of our activities! We had to get baby dolls out, some arts and crafts and I had to read our favorite book to her! And they were only here a couple of hours! Talon was on the laptop, of course! I wish you luck with your braces! I know a couple of adults that got braces later in life, to prevent future issues. Good for you!

baz, yes, I put up my feet after the Munchkins left! And yes, an adult beverage was in order! I agree with Lani, you probably put in plenty of steps doing your errands!

tsk, are you doing anything at the church this weekend?  I have a couple of groups that try to get together now and then, one is 3 people and one is 4. It hard to find a date even with that few!!

Lisa, I think that toy will be perfect! As a baby she can play with all the stuff on the sides and then sit in it when she is a little bigger.  I can just see her now, driving around like a diva!

Puff, hope you had a good time with your neighbors!

karen, good for you, getting all decked out for Christmas! How has Piper been doing? Back to normal I hope!

Post by: Puff on December 02, 2023, 07:09:13 AM

Let me bore y'all with our ladies' routine.  Again I moved in 1971, there were only 4 or 5 houses (?) at that time.  Small subdivision that grew to a total of maybe 20 houses - great look to the development, no house the same as any other.  Builders were Dorian Homes (Private setup among 1 family.  Mother financed daughter/husband, daughter was an interior designer, husband a carpenter contractor, son an architect.)  They mostly built houses on spec, living in it, they would start on the next house etc.  Two homes they contracted and built to order.

Some houses/people never seemed to get interested, that's why I say 15 houses/owners got involved.  Ten months out of the year the ladies get together for breakfast, brunch, lunch.  We take take turns doing the monthly option and set up and do the invites.  "Things" sometimes don't work for everyone and that means it can be anywhere from 4 to 15 (RSVP's).  We have the 2 special leftover months - Sept or Oct we invite the husbands/mates for a B B Q backyard at oneof our houses.  All welcome, bring a pot luck; house that volunteered to host takes on the actual BBQing.  Last summer just to be special I called and invited our mayor; he did join us.  Other special month is the Christmas get-together, ladies.  We reserve space in a room of the spot, do a "small" $ grabbag exchange, and most imbibe.  Yesterday's popular choice was raspberry margeritas (tanqueray/tonic for me), a couple wines.

We do have a varied attendance.  Two are newer to the group, some are still working, one was doing babysitting 3 kids for daughter/SIL while they took a vacation.  Then there's always those other things that come up, I'm thinking CoVid.

Where do we go places:  Bakers Square (mostly on Wednesdays ::), Honey-Jam Cafe, Country House, Chuck's Rib House, our local new Olive Garden, Home Run Inn Pizza, Jamison's Charhouse, Denny's.

We do enjoy doing waving hi at passing cars, but this is much better.  Next month we get together I'm going to get a concensus on when this started in earnest.  Some have moved out from that original group, some we have lost.  I'm mostly certain I've lived here the longest now.  Sometimes an oldtimer shows up; sometimes one of us will go pick up Carol who is in a senior residence.

Like the good old days when people knew their neighbors, talked to their neighbors.  But it can be modified to groups who drop off the kids at school together, doing an after-church group. 

And then too I also have my group of travel advisors - We get together every other month or meet up at learning travel seminars; we share new experiences we tried or if we did special workshops information.  Think about it!

Days of the Year

Candle Day
Candles offer more than just light — fill your home with sweet scents and transform any space into a warm oasis.

Play Basketball Day
The fast-paced game that echoes with the rhythmic bounce of the ball and the swish of the net, where teamwork reigns supreme.

National Fritters Day
Tuck into a whole variety of deep-fried, battered foods and sample snacks from all over the world, whether Japanese tempura or Indonesian pisang goreng.

Thank you all for your opinion on the Christmas gift for Sydney. 

baz - That cake for lilbro...deeeeeelish!

tsk - I would love to see your gingerbread men!

karen - Grapes is my evening snack.  Love the red ones better than green.

E4E - Yay for you on getting braces.  My aunt was 72yrs old when she got hers.  She always had a small gap between her front teeth and wanted to get that fixed. 

Lani - Love your evening pic of the pups!

clynn - I also bought the drum set thing that BrokenLug suggested.  ;D  I am sure Kelly will kill me! LOL

Morning Puff and Phyl :)

tig - Feel better soon!

Lisa, years ago when I was married to my first husband we had bought a drum set for one of his 3 nephews for Christmas, I think he was about 6 years old, old enough to make lots of noise! We both worked nights in the factory, and when we got home one morning our trailer had been broken into and all the presents were stolen from under the tree. We laughingly blamed his sister for the theft, because of the drum set!!

Sloth Preschool Updates:

Grover: He's already started eating leaves, is active, and is steadily gaining weight.
Elmo: Growing, adapted well to having smoothies, quite active.
Binx: Slowly starting to eat leaves, active, and growing gradually.
Ken: Eats quite a few leaves, growing very well and gaining weight.
Frankie: Eating well, started transitioning to smoothies.
Phoenix: Very big and active. He spends a couple of hours a day in the almond tree to exercise.

Hi everyone    Tim still in ER as of 10:30 last night with another a-fib episode with chest pain.  Still there and can't seem to get the HR down no matter with they have been trying.  Esp since those drugs helped the first time back in April.  Cancelled his flight to Florida for Tues.  Poor Lulu  Haven't been giving her her usual exercise routine.

EAGLES  I have known several friends who finally got braces when they were working and could afford them. Never too old.

LANI   Pups set up for that good night pic must have been interesting  ;) ;)   Let's hope for an informative MRI leading to a solution.  What a beautiful AM white kitty.  Thanks for the super news on the Royals and two cams now  ;D

CLYNN  I would have been decorating the Church for Advent but got Barb to sub for me.  Hated to leave our "leader" alone.  I was otherwise occupied...LOL  Goose on a moose  ;) ;)  Did you ever confirm the presents theft  was a revenge act? Yikes   Love how you call Bella a "hot mess"  LOLOL

PUFF   That's what keeps you young!!!  A healthy social life.  You have a great neighborhood.

LISA  Red grapes altho they have more sugar contain - I forget -something really healthy because it 's red.  good for red peppers vs green etc.  Drum set   LOLOL

LORI  Thanks for posting LILROS pics of Penny.  I love those boots  LOL

T40   will catch all your great links later - Gotta run.

Phyl - Thanks for the 365, and DOTY.

clynn - Oh yikes on the trailer being broken into!  Did you all ever find out who did it?  Don't tell me it really was the SIL?!

Lori - Thanks for all the Penny pics.  She is so stinkin' cute!  Beautiful pup that lilbro was dog-sitting.

E4E -  :D

Lani - Beautiful morning kitty.  Thanks for the Royal and TRR updates. 

T40 - Thanks for the videos.

baz - Good luck to your team, and your snack sounds delish!

tsk - Oh no...praying for Tim!  Keep us posted.  Are you at home now, or at ER with him?

{{{Tsk}}} so sorry to hear Tim is still in ER. I know how that goes with Jim. Sending 🙏 's for a speedy recovery. Lulu will be fine. She'll understand when you and Tim come back and she smells him/you.

I think you might have been thinking of '  phytonutrients'---red-pigmented compounds include anthocyanins, betacyanin, betalain, and carotenoids such as lycopene. Plus--carotenoids, ellagic acid,resveratrol,flavonoids,phytoestrogens,glucosinolates. Etc., etc.  All good to have ---fights inflamation, bone and eye health and a host of other 'issues'.

CLynn  Lol...'goose on a moose'  ;)

Lani thank for Royal Albie update and all.   Glad to hear Mike is in the kitchen---I don't allow men in my kitchen. That's just me. Hat's off to a women who can.

Lisa not a set of symbals to go with the drums.LOL

Lori that is a really decadent cupcake for Lil' Bro---Many thanks for the Penny Pics she's so cute.  I sure hope that buck wasn't murdered.

Phyl, hope Jim can find a Camry!  Unfortunately folks don't trade or sell them often!  Sure would give you both more i dependence if he could find one. 
Lisa, a drum set will save the pots and pans!  Growing up all the kids would get. Them out and bang on them!   Terrible noise!  She will develop a great sense of rhythm .  In a year she can pile them into her pink car and drive off to the local dance hall!

Lisa I was a teacher's assist. in a Montessori-style PreSchool. This was a good choice from an educational stand point.
It would have to be up to the parents to control 'the when, where and for how long and supervise." IMHO
Pediatric docs and pre-school experts have long recommend allowing toddler to 'bang' on various household items usually
with a wooden spoon to help with various developments in growth etc.   I did, even way back then...LOL  From what I've been told I had started
slapping 'things' rhythmically and doc said to give me pots and pans plus a spoon. Some such.
I don't know Kelly /Bradley. As I said it's up the parents to control the exposure, etc, etc. Don't you think? After all?  ;)

Oh Karen LOL Sydney.   Do hope you don't get flooded. mercy! Glad vertigo is under control.

   Jim  :( , he's back with the walking pneumonia and I'm sure to pick it up,  again. Just as long as Maggie doesn't.
No, indeed  folks don't trade Toyotas in and if they do ...price beyond our budget. From what he said this AM
I belive he realizes his budget won't allow choozienes. He's mostly looked online. And, I've stayed out of it other than to state over again---
'I want my Kia back. All nice and pretty like the day I bought him." 
If he'd only take better care of himself.  ::)

Karen I've been noticing that train of rain passing through your area today.

Now I insist you stay put and let Piper go out back and play with the autumnal aquatics that may temporarily come to reside.

You, him and the Lob Lollies take care now.  :-*

Post by: baziunc on December 02, 2023, 08:03:14 PM

Lisa, GREAT drum/musical instrument set you're giving Sydney for Christmas!!!  She will love it!!  I can still remember playing my xylophone for years when I was a kid. All kids love those! I have given xylophones and tambourines to kids many times over the years - an enduring gift for all kids! And when my oldest nephew was a toddler, for Christmas one year, I gave him drums and a tambourine. LOLOL!!!  I loved the look on my older (Mtns Sis) sister when it was opened.   ;D  I immediately showed him how to play and bang on them!! He loved it, and banged away!  ;D  I also gave him some kind of car, I can't remember exactly what kind, that made a loud siren sound and had flashing red lights.  He loved that, too!!  I left early, just grinning.   ;D ;D

(((TSK))) (((Tim))) Sending wishes and prayers for comfort and a resolution for Tim's symptoms soon.  You take care of yourself, too.  Hugs.  :-* :-*

Lani, I'm so glad Mike's getting around a little better and his MRI is soon!

((E4E)), yay for getting your braces!  Hugs, I know your mouth is sore!!  I still remember what it was like having braces. How long does your orthodontist estimate you will wear them?  Oh the fun of food stuck in them! Not! LOL.  I remember eating corn on the cob when I had braces. !!!  Oh law...  ;D  I know you will be so glad when they have done their job, and they are so much better now than when I had them as a kid!  I would always remind myself that when my mouth was sore, after adjustments, it meant they were working! Hang in there!  :)

((Karen)), ugh on the vertigo attack!  I'm glad it's a little better.  I hope the rain slows down there!  You and Piper stay above the high water mark!!

Phyl, I hope ((Jim)) can get some meds soon, and is much better fast!

Lori, thanks for posting Lilbro's Penny Pics!  :)  She is really growing up! - and I can tell she loves her time playing outside.  :-* Tika is beautiful, and looks like a sweet dog. That's nice of Lilbro to dog-sit for their friend, especially since keeping dogs out of boarding and kennels is recommended now as much as possible, to avoid the mystery canine illness that is being seen in many parts of the country now, and that is so highly contagious.  I hope you and Destini are having a good weekend!  :)

Puff, glad so many in your neighborhood can get together for some social fun and good food!  :)

((Tig)) I hope you are well soon!

Clynn, have Ed and Kelsey gotten to their destination yet? I hope the weather was kind to them on the road.  Is the Mole Hole an empty hole now??  ;) ;D

Oldguy, I hope your work schedule hasn't been too rough this past week, and that you're winning at cards tonight!  :D

BL, hope you and Pip have enjoyed a nice fireplace somewhere this weekend.  Sometimes it's nice just to be by a crackling fire.  :)


Good Night, All. Peace. SED.

It's a very original field stone fireplace that Pip & I snuggle up to this eve.  NJ.
Built in 1925.

Ralph the Grey is perturbed for some reason about the dates, grapes, wine and cheese served this eve.

I stay on the porch when she goes out!   Hope the loblollys behave!  At least there is no big wind system with this!   Too bad I didn't shut the sprinkler system off and fertile. Actually most things were fertilized a short while ago!
Tsk?  Any news on Tims condition?  Hugs and prayers for both of you!
Hopefully Jim and Mike are better or at least on the road  to feeling better!  I did get another pneumonia shot this year.  Need them every 5 years!
I hope Old Guy is not trying to play cards while watching the  Michigan Iowa game!  Not good, so far!

Phyl, I am the person who posted to you that I was having shrimp tempura as a game snack today!  Not T40.  ;) :D  Because your DOTY for today included Japanese Tempura!!   ::) ;D

Baz - Thank you! I was like "shrimp tempura?" Did I really say that? LOLOL!

Oh my gosh! I made a faux pas!!   ::) 
 By the way the DOTY in yesterday's --- Saturday's post didn't list Japanese Tempura!  ;)

Thanks for the laughs---with all the crap going on in my life right now ---And there's more than I chat about. I sure needed them 
Merci mille fois.

DOTY ????

Lob Lobbies ?????

I must not have turned the brain back on this morning.

BTW  I did pick up on the "Let's Hug Day".
Checking through the posts there are a lot of us in need of a hug.  If you know me you know my feeling of the value of a meaningful/sincere hug.

HUGS and prayers to all!

Lani, you must have gotten the Bambi warning before you had the chance to see it. I wish I had. Same for Old Yeller... I would love it if Ed had even one specialty he could make! He has made mostaccioli a couple of times, in several decades past and if I say that he doesn't ever cook anything he always brings up the mostaccioli. The last time he made it was before we bought our first house, so before 1987!!!

Phyl, love your little chick with the winter hat on! Hugs for Jim, dang it. Hope you don't get it! Sometimes those memories sneak up on you, don't they... Interesting 365, nothing goes to waste in the wild. I can remember Dad untangling the Christmas lights! International Disability Day, I always try to be extra kind to those with disabilities, as so many are with Kelsey. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect!  I hope some of your other crap gets resolved soon....

BL, sounds like you had a lot of company at your campfire!

baz, heaven's no, I am not done in the Mole Hole! I have one corner cleaned out, my coffee table is full, as is the kitchen table. Sorting into Keep, Trash, Goodwill and Not sure yet. There are about 10 boxes of empty soda bottles for return so I told Erin if he would pick them up and push them through the recycle machine I would pay him $50 and he could keep the $$. I just need to know the amount so I can give Ed that amount of $!!  Getting ready to head back down after I get dressed!  Ed & Kelsey made it to Springfield fine, Kelsey always has to call someone whenever she crosses the Mississippi. She used to call Kay, but I got the call this time!

E4E, the Christmas present theft was back in 1974, nearly 50 years ago. I do remember that the worst part was that most of the presents were gifts I had made in Ceramics class, so there was no replacing any of that! And I was scared for a while after that, slept with a shotgun (which I had no idea how to use) beside the bed! Theft never solved, but we had an idea of who it was. We laughed later because they got nothing valuable!

Puff, you are right! Lots of hugs needed! Loblolly is a pine tree in the south, DOTY (Days of the Year).

1. Go to the woods. Bring a pinecone home.🌲🌲🌲
2. Put the cone in a pot with some soil - so that most of it stands out.
3. Every day water it with a small amount of water, as excess water makes the cones rot.
4. After some time, a tiny tree will appear.
5. Congratulations - you just started oxygen production and you have a piece of forest in your own home.🍁🍂🍃.
Thank-you for doing something for nature!

Working on our Christmas card list.
I checked in on the Iowa game. Shucks. I've also been watching Tiger's latest comeback (and still have  "love/hate" feelings). Encouraged the Wild will have new life with the new coach.
Well, it is Sunday. Time to take my weekly pill and sit up for a half hour.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

As of 7 PM yesterday when I left , it was at that time he finally got a transport out of the ER to a cardiac monitoring room. It took 2 hours and 15 min for that to occur  :P :P  Two total transporters for the entire hospital on a Saturday, and 1 was at "lunch".  Will go back around lunch as I have so much to do here but as of yesterday , his heart rate was coming down slowly so that is good albeit after many drugs pumped into his system, none of them working which had worked back in April.   Monday a "modified" stress test and home in the PM.  Will see how that goes.

PHYL   Yes  Lycopene, specifically,  is what I couldn't think of - thanks - didn't have time to google.  Love the bow laden white kitty. ;D   Oh NO  ((((Jim))))   Stay out of state for the car - Can so often be a scam...Just met someone the other day who was scammed.  Came to our church looking for gas gas gift card to get back home.. :(

LISA   Think you should then give ear plugs to Kelly and Bradley to accompany that gift  LOL

KAREN   Ressurection ..Ouch to that dang vertigo. ( what brought it under control?)   I'm also not a favorite of hunting however if nothing is wasted and maybe some meat donated, the herds have to be thinned at least around here.

Have to stop for now - Will catch up in a bit

For those who are not familiar with loblollys, you have all seen millions of them and just did not know it!   They are the heart and soul of your power and telephones!  This is what makes all the poles stretched across  the landscape!  In Georgia and South Carolina they are grown  as crops and harvested about every 27 years!   In addition they dot the southern landscape  providing shade and mulch, food for squirrels a job for landscapers hired to clean up their ever falling needles, pine conrs and weak branches.  In addition these softwood  trees often give way to hurricane winds and fall on houses.   Probanly more than you wanted to know!

Tig glad to hear you're feeling better.

Puff yes, doesn't matter what culture or language lots of hugs needed.

Clynn, never saw Old Yeller either.... I was always in tears with Lassie and Rin Tin Tin.... I had to look up Mostaccioli, it's looks delicious! I appreciate Mike wants to cook something. He makes the mash potatoes, as well as cutting items up for soups and such. Every Monday evening he cooks the hamburger for tacos or enchiladas.... glad to hear Ed and Kelsey arrived, how sweet she likes to call someone when she crosses the Mississippi!... Pinecone tree is awesome idea. I might pick up a Ponderosa Pine during my walk tomorrow.

Phyl, Another Brandenberg classic, crows or ravens are bothersome no matter what part of the world.... {{{healing and comforting prayers Jim, Phyl and Maggie}}}

CLynn glad  Ed/Kelsey arrived safely and are  having a good visit w/ family ; still working on 'mole hole', becareful down there. Luv the 'hug' graphic.
A call from Kelsey  :)

{{{Karen}}} tks for the info on ' loblollys' I knew they were pine (conifers) but that was the sum & total---

Lisa how cool Bradley is a musician that means he and Sydney can really 'jam'  and Kelly will have some unique music to listen/ dance .  Maybe we'll have'a
family group i.e. Quarrentine Kids.  Then Beakroom will it's very own musical group.  I can see it all in a few years...playing at The Rhyman in Music City USA!

BL - critters, hooves, flames . . . .  :-\

Puff - I agree, hugs are a great thing - I know I love to receive - so a warm heartfelt hug to you sweet Puff  :)

Clynn - Like the story of Ed making mostaccioli and how long ago it was - so funny that he reminds you of it! ;D    Glad Ed & Kelsey made it to Springfield safe & sound! :)    Good for you with all the progress you are making in the Mole Hole, although it looks like you have a ways to go!! ;)   Good deal to ask Erin to take the recyclables - works out great for you both! ;D
Yes, I understood that the theft had occurred long ago, but I was sorry that such an event had happened to such a kind, sweet person (you)!    Glad you mentioned to Puff that a Lobiolly is a pine tree in the south - I didn't know either!   Thanks for posting about the pine cone  :)

Tig - Glad you are a lil better - keep taking good care  :)  {{Tig}}

Kb - Interesting pic this a.m.! :)  You, Chris, & Ollie have a nice day  :)   What a precious vid of baby chimp!! :)

LisaG - Pretty holiday image!   Didn't realize your son plays the guitar & drums - so your family is musically inclined! ;D   Lol! Hope the toy isn't left at the Grandparent's house! ;D

Tsk - Thank you so much for sharing an update on Tim.   Glad it seems he is doing better.  Prayers that all goes well and that he can go home tomorrow in the PM.  He will definitely have a heartwarming welcoming from yourself & Lulu!! :-* :-*

Karen - Hope you are doing okay with the vertigo.  You & Piper have a nice day.

Good afternoon Beakers!  The vertigo is still here and limits what I can do!  Not as bad as the other day!  I have to hold my head up and keep it pretty straight so the crystals don’t bounce around too much!   Piper seems fine, at least no more seizures!   Knock on wood!
Phyl, are you masked up?   Can Jim breathe  well in a mask?   Hope he recovers soon!
Tsk, prayers continue  for you and Tim!
Lani, nice to have Mike around the house!
Lisa, Christmas will be fun!
Tig, feel better

PHYL   Got a hug from Barb today  ;)
 
CLYNN   Such a funny post about Ed and the recycle bottles  LOLOL  Kelsey's call after crossing Mississippi  :-*   Love the thought of growing a pine tree - Great for kids to do.

LISA   Didn't realize Bradley plays drums  LOL  He'll love the gift  ;D

KB   That chimps hug was so cute  :)

KAREN   Thanks now I know not to ever grow a loblolly as If I ever could  LOL

EAGLES   Snowmen on the beach!

Tim's heart rate back to his normal of 54 after 2 1/2 days.  He's thrilled.  He's getting insulin which is bringing his much elevated blood sugars to a safer level - normal for such an event.  Still doesn't know the time of his chemical stress test tomorrow but will call me when he needs to come home.  I have desk duty this week for our Social Concerns ministry.  Thanks for all your prayers.  Told him that is why his HR is back to normal so quick today  ;) ;)

kb - Yes, perfect for hug day!

Puff -  :D

Lani - Bradley got interesting in the drums when he was in 4th grade, and then in middle school he got interested in the bass guitar.  The guitar I could handle in my house, the drums not so much.  ;D

Phyl - I wish I could share a video here with you all, but Bradley likes to golf too, and he had a lil video of showing Sydney how to putt. He had the putter in her hands, so cute. 

E4E - Thank you on the image, and I love yours this morning, too!  There are some pretty Christmas scenes on Pinterest.

CLynn tks for the pine cone tip growing conifers. I have to do that!

Lani went back over your post, as I've had to do with several others here    So sorry  for y our friend's loss of her husband. :(.

Tsk more good news for you and Tim.  Years ago CLynn told me of the miracle of 'Beaker Prayers'.  ;)  So excited about Tim's homecoming tomorrow.  All the best with the Social Concerns Ministry-desk.

KB awwww chimp's hug-cute

Karen  Hope you have better days ahead. Jim went to Kroger 'Little Clinic' yesterday etc. etc.;)    . When I'm around I mask. When I'm not he does.  He knows to stay clear of Maggie. 

Lisa Years ago,  for fun and curiosity, I did a short video of Mike eating lettuce  and posted it to YouTube. No I didn't share it here. But, I think  if you upload to YouTube then you  would  be able to post the link here.  Maybe try that? Im sure others here will have better suggestion. I would luv to see all the Sydney flicks.

Lani, Erin and Sydney brought all of the empty boxes back, and I put $17.80 in an envelope for Ed! Just so you don't have to wonder, that is 356 cans. Very interesting good night cat! Love the little religious critters!  Sister Rat last night, just look at her toesies!

Phyl, glad to hear that Jim was able to go to the little clinic at work, did they give him anything? Good masking, hope you can steer clear!

tsk, glad they were able to get Tim's heart rate down, but kind of scary that it took so long! Do they think it has anything to do with the diabetes? Was he already taking insulin?  I bet Lulu sure misses him! I can tell that Harley misses Ed and Kelsey!

E4E, love those sandy snowmen on the beach! I made good progress on the Mole Hole but still a good way to go!  Making some stuff 'disappear'! I am going to ask Erin to come after work Tuesdfay and take a load to Goodwill! He has a truck!

Lisa, neither did I realize that Bradley was musical, no wonder you thought of the drums for Sydney! They will have such fun!

karen, vertigo be gone! So far so good for Miss Piper! Hopefully that seizure was a fluke!

T40, thanks for all the videos, haven't had a chance yet to look at them yet but will!

Phyllis, broken nose!  Ooh, not fun!   What happened?  Glad Jim is better.   You might need to borrow my walker!
Clynn, vertigo is not gone!  Just got rid of  the really bad spell!   Still comes on every time I bend down or look down!  Things are rocking and rollin at your house!   Good job!
Lisa, speaking of which, they will be  lots of jamming at the new house!

Another cloudy day here in tree city!  Cooler but no rain!    Still have puddles in the back yard!  Humidity of 87 percent!

Have a 6 months appointment with my cardiologist this afternoon.  Hate an appointment with a Dr. right after I have eaten a lot of no, no foods at a holiday!   Have one with the internist tge first of January!   Think my blood work will be skewed!  Oh well!  No pecan pie or Baskin and Robbins  for a little over a week!   Love that pralines and cream!

Phyl - Just read that Jim is much better - yaaay!    Oh no Phyl - so sorry for the  terrible fall you took.  Please take care.  Prayers for your healing. {{{Phyl}}}    Can't believe you are still posting all your usual stuff this morning - thank you.  Please allow yourself to rest.

Lani - So sorry for your friend losing her husband.  Thoughts & prayers for her and the family.  Big football games yesterday - sorry for your Chiefs.  Our team lost too.  Enjoy your early morning walk with Sadie. :)

LisaG - I bet Bradley will get a kick out of the musical set for Sydney!! ;D

Tsk - Continued good thoughts & prayers for all to go well for Tim today, and that you will all be back home together later in the PM.

Clynn - Good for you for digging into all you had to do and getting lots accomplished!!  Erin is such great help - thank goodness for family! ;D    Great pictures of the Crazy Horse Memorial project - amazing what they are doing for it!!

Phyl, oh no, your poor nose! Hope you feel better soon, did they give you some pain meds? Hope Jum is feeling better! The 365, I have never heard of cattle egrets, but now I have! Thanks for Amy's Blog! You take care, hope you are getting some rest!

E4E, I'm pushing forward, going to have to ask the ladies across the street if I can use their spare garbage can! I can also put bags out, I have to put a sticker on each bag that costs $1. Well worth it, but I will have to put them on their side, don't want Ed to come home Wednesday and see bags of trash on our side! Trash pickup is Thursday... Love your good morning pic!

karen, well, your new plants sure got a good drink!

Morning all.

Oof, on the nose Phyl...speedy recovery.
Glad to hear Tim is much better, tsk.

Going to try to get my snowblower started this morning. Crossing my fingers. I have the manual on my phone. It's electric start so a few more "moves" than a mower. Plug in, engine start button, choke closed as cold, and fuel valve open....then pull the cord....we shall see. It's been sitting in my shop for a few years.
Seafoam in it though.

Since I wanted to save energy to clean house later I skipped the pool but got out of the house for fresh air and a hot shower at the Y. It looks like Camper has a cold now. Darn it.

Clynn, can Erin take some trash to the dump?   When Ed first goes into the Mole Hole he will know a whirlwind cleaner went thru there!   Just make sure Harley doesn’t tell  and that Ed doesn’t  read the Beak!
Lani, I think I missed your post on your friend’s husband’s death!   Always sad but even more so when it happens at a holiday time.
I am a Packer fan so enjoyed the game!   The Chiefs have a great  qb but do not seem able/to move the ball down the field unless he throws it!   Hope all is good at your house!
Tig, sounds like you are better but sorry about Camper.
Owl strike at M 15  last night but he is okay!
Old Guy, where are you?

Phyl - Glad to hear that Jim is feeling better, but oh no, you fell down and broke your nose!  Are you in alot of pain?  Thanks for the DOTY, RRP Post and 365. 

Lani - I think Bradley will.  She is the apple of his eye. 

tsk OK on the insulin.  Good luck to Tim this morning.  Waiting for your next report. 

clynn - Again, LOVE the dried fruit! Yes, they will have so much fun with the drums...at their house!  ;D ;D  Oh, all that snow in Västerbotten, Sweden...no thank you!

karen - Today is the closing for the new house.  They are excited.

E4E - Cute morning pic!

kb - LOL, cow shampooed and blown dry, ready for showtime!  Good luck with the snow blower.

Ha!..She (snowblower) started right up for me!....now we shall see when it snows how well I can move the machine in snow and changed the chute angle etc....

No need to hurry, snow!

I downloaded the manual on my phone so just went step by step...didn't try to move it forward obviously as on tar...now at least I know it's full of gas and will start!...

A few more times at it wouldn't hurt to become muscle memory.

Off to my only 500 piece puzzle with large pieces...much more enjoyable for me.

Eagles, there were great games yesterday! Poor KC Chiefs Mahomes :(

karen, Talons crossed for a good doctors appt....  Maybe he can help advise about the vertigo.... I love Pralines/Cream too... Poor KC Mahomes spent a few times on the ground... Good game though! God, I hate those owl strikes at SWFL! They are getting more frequent.  :-\

Clynn, love your morning pics.... LOL! Sister Rat!  ;D ... 356 cans! :o I'm almost afraid to think what Ed's going to buy with the $$! You know he's going to hunt for replacements.  ;D {{{Erin and Sydney}}} .. Crazy Horse Memorial will be an magnificent tribute... I hope Ed and Kelsey are having a good time! Oh my, look at all that snow in Sweden!

{{{Phyl}}} glad to hear Jim is better, but very sorry to hear of your accident and broken nose! Ouch! Sending healing prayers and get some well needed rest.
Thanks for RRP update pics/articles. Beautiful American Kestrel next to downtown La Crosse nest box.... beautiful Western Cattle Egrets, an new bred of herons I'm not familiar with. It is written they like the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones.

 By the way the DOTY in yesterday's --- Saturday's post didn't list Japanese Tempura!  ;)

Thanks for the laughs---with all the crap going on in my life right now ---And there's more than I chat about. I sure needed them 
Merci mille fois.

Phyl, it isn't a big deal!!  But au contraire, your post about Days of the Year on Saturday, Dec. 2nd. says, "Japanese tempura."   ;) :D

Quote from: Phyl on December 02, 2023, 07:28:10 AM

Days of the Year

Candle Day
Candles offer more than just light — fill your home with sweet scents and transform any space into a warm oasis.

Play Basketball Day
The fast-paced game that echoes with the rhythmic bounce of the ball and the swish of the net, where teamwork reigns supreme.

National Fritters Day
Tuck into a whole variety of deep-fried, battered foods and sample snacks from all over the world, whether Japanese tempura or Indonesian pisang goreng.

PHYL   OH NO  Broke your nose - You and Jim are under a dark cloud!!  Hope it doesn't hurt too much.  " Black eyes" too I bet.

CLYNN  $17.80   Not bad.  Tim's never been on insulin but should be .  We were trying to get blood sugar down and were doing pretty good until this happened.  I slept in the master "big bed" last night and was bed partner with Lulu who was glued to my back or stomach from 10:15 to 5:30 this AM  LOLOL     Dying to know if Ed will miss what has been hauled off in the truck   ::) ;D   Saw Crazy Horse back in the 80's when it was a mere outline. Such dedication through generations.  Some snowstorm in Sweden ??? ???

KAREN  The docs have to give you a "bye" - a pass for the holidays.  How did the cardiologist visit go? Reading on I see it went well.  Did your HHA go with?  Several days now and Piper remains OK  This is a good thing.

KB   Doesn't even look like a cow... :-\  On our electric start , we have a black rubbery button we have to press in slowly 3 times to prime the engine.  YAY   It works I read on..   I picked out a 500 piece to start but still haven't set anything thing up to start.  Still have lots of Xmas stuff to do first.  Am behind with this glitch!

TIG   Golly what is going on with the Beak  Hope you don't catch the cold...

LANI  Another gorgeous view for the albies.

BL   Thanks for the Pic of Ralph.  So that is how you got him  - from Mrs Kenny's passing?  I love African Grays

LISA   How did the closing go?  Did you say you were helping with the move?

Last report:  Home at 3 :15 nest time.   Some meds adjusted for a bit and he goes tomorrow for a holter monitor.  Stress test was normal   PHEW  He's a happy camper and now has his arms in plastic  garbage bags taped on so he can shower and shave  LOL  - Priorities..

A Cattle Egret in pretty breeding plumage spends time at my retention pond almost every Spring.  :-* :-* It forages every day, and usually has a lot "to say."  ;) ;D   I've watched it build a nest, or at least start one, at least 3 of those years, but I never saw any sign of eggs, and it never stayed for a full breeding season. It is almost always by itself, and I have only ever seen it with another Cattle Egret on fewer than a handful of occasions, so I think it never attracted a breeding partner to the pond, and then left.

Lani, thanks for the Royals update, 42 fertile eggs! and more to come! I didn't realize there were that many nests there! Wow! And a different view this season, nice! I plan to watch Grandma when I take a break this morning!

Phyl, missing you this morning, hope you are sleeping peacefully... see you later...

blschue, good to see you! Stop by more often if you can!

E4E, LOL, I don't worry about Ed reading the Beak! He doesn't even come in this room unless he needs to ask where something is or tell me something! And he never touches my computer!  His brain is very technical, but not about PCs, more about Servers and business applications etc. That's what he does at WF. I made good headway yesterday!

tig, you and camper, hope you feel better today!  More soup!

kb, are you wishing you had some snow to blow?  ;D  No snow in the forecast yet!

baz, I did notice when I looked up the cattle egret, that their breeding plumage was very pretty! Thanks for the article! And great peace sign in the snow!

Lisa, yay for the first time homeowners! Busy days ahead! Maybe you could watch Sydney while they tote stuff in!

tsk, glad to hear that Tim is back to normal, hope he stays that way! Did the episode scare him? It would have terrified me...

karen, good report from the doc!

BL, still chuckling over F.M.R.!!! Reminded me of the Matlock episode when he had to watch a client's parrot. The parrot kept saying 'your mother's a jackass' over and over...

Southwest Florida Eagle Cam - The Great Horned Owls spotted on the cams at night have found their home across the pasture in a nest started by Harriet & M a few years ago. GHO’s are not nest builders and frequently try to take over established or abandoned nests. Hopefully we see less of them bothering M & F as both raptor species incubate and hatch their next generation of young. 🙏🏻🦅🦉 Check in on our Eagle family here: https://dickpritchettrealestate.com/southwest-florida.../

Camper was only up for 7 hours. Back to bed he went. I got some soup, toast, jello and liquids into him, and a couple Tylenol which broke his fever.
We had a dusting of snow overnight. Luckily, it will melt.

GOOD MORNNING BEAKERS

LISA   Good news.  They will be able to get the kitchen mostly set up and get some boxes in the right rooms before all the furniture comes.

BAZI  I'm so happy you are building on your walking.   I have not exercised in 3 days - I'm not a happy camper and hope to get back to my routine today.

TIG   Ding!  That's right - He got the cold from you.  Excuse my brain.. :P ::)

EAGLES  I think Lulu was a bit hesitant once sniffing Tim and all the new smells.  In fact she slept with me for about 4 hours last night - Never has done that before.

BISCHUE  Welcome - Hope you got all your b-day wishes  ;) ;D

CLYNN  Tim had his first episode with this back in April when we called paramedics at midnight.  HR at that time was twice as high as this one and he was really scared then.  I have a feeling this might not be the last.   SOOOOO many people deal with a-fib - and many do not even know it.   Gosh - I now remember that Matlock episode  LOLOL  Those owls are nesting far too close if you ask me..

PHYL   Take it easy.  Am sure Jim is happy to get back to work.  Will catch all your links later - Gotta go

Blschue - Hope you had a nice birthday!  Great to see you! :)

Lani - Are you having a warm day too?  Today is our area's warmest day of the week, but we have a chance of showers tomorrow.   Cute night pic!

Clynn - Lol! Good that Ed keeps busy with other things and not with your computer & the Beak! ;D  You've been so busy with clearing out that you will need a much deserved rest when Ed & Kelsey return! ;) :)   Thank you for SWFL info and picture!  I already have the SWFL tab saved and look in on them, but have not been looking in regularly.

Phyl - Glad that Jim was well enough to go to work, but hope you take good care of yourself while he is gone. {{Phyl}}   Thank you for DOTY and 365-amazing migratory.

Tig - Good that you are seeing to it that Camper has soup, fluids, jello - and especially your TLC  :)  Glad fever is gone!

Tsk - Oh I didn't think about the fact of the different smells/scents - understandable Lulu needed a little time to adapt  ;)  Sweet that Lulu slept with you. :)
Hope you have a nice day and that Tim gets some good rest.  Hugs for you both. :-*

Kb - Ice conditions - good for you in taking care.

Beakers have a good day - all stay safe & warm in those cold temps.

Clynn, Albatross rangers are very busy keeping track of the 42+ nests. Those nests with unfertile eggs will make great foster parents when time is right... sweet morning pics.
I wish the GHO nest was farther away... I remember that Matlock episode  ;D

{{{Tig and Camper}}} glad to hear Camper is doing better, especially with your TLC. Take care.

Phyl, glad to hear Jim's back at work... you take care... thanks for DOTY, amazing nature video and RRP highlights.

Tsk, I bet you're getting lots of exercise with all the running around you're having to do.... awww Lulu :-* .. Milo has started to sleep near me lately. He's moved from on top of my head to next to my back.  ;D

Kb, the cougar stalking the neighborhood is not good... It's nice having Chris's help.

Eagles, We're having a warm day too, 63 will be our high. It was 34 when we left for our morning walk... I hope your rain moves in our direction.

I am late, as Jeff and I had our endocrinologist appointment this morning, and she was running behind.  I got an increase in insulin units, and a change in brand as my insurance company is no longer going to cover what I am taking now come January.  The new one will be Lantus, and is an equivalent.   

baz - Great job on the 53 minute walk!

tig - Hope you are Camper are feeling better. 

E4E - Thank you, they are pretty excited about moving.

Lani - Thank you, very a busy weekend ahead, and it looks like rain in the forecast, too! UGH!  Adorable sleeping kitties. 

clynn - Thank you, and that is my plan!!!  :D Love that pic of the SWFL owls that Liz took. 

Phyl - Thank you.  Don't try to do too much if you are feeling wobbly. Glad to hear Jim is back at work, so he must be feeling better?  Thanks for the DOTY.

tsk - Yea, I think they will be able to set up the kitchen before the movers come.  Bradley has a bed, two book cases, a 55" TV here with an entertainment center that we will need to get to him at some point, too. How is Tim feeling today? 

kb - Glad your computer is back up and running.

Update:

I have a fracture of the nasal bone close to the tip.  https://teachmeanatomy.info/head/osteology/nasal-skeleton/ (https://teachmeanatomy.info/head/osteology/nasal-skeleton/) Plus a 1/2' laceration just above that on the right hand side. Dermabond (purple-ish) was applied to that wound which had close up on it's own.    ;)  The Derma bond as some of you know is like a bandaid, and takes 72 hrs to 'cure'  until Thursday.  But, this morning,  I found a way to at least wash my face.

Sunday about 6PM, I tripped on the carpet in the spare room and the BPPV( Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) pulled me on over. I put my hands out in front to cushion my face and smack right into the door's frame, the corner/ it's impact,  cut the upper R. side of my nose   and I 'broke' the tip of the 'the nose' . When docs say the nose they mean the bone that one sees on a skeleton. Not the cartilage .
 The impact of hitting the frame knocked me backward giving me a slight whiplash movement to my neck/head ---thew me down hard on my bum -- I landed with legs apart and hand holding my nose with blood running down my face and chin-- evidently I bit the inside of my lower lip. It's  a wee mess inside.

Jim heard the thud and came running up stairs. Got mad at me 'cuz I just sat there crying. A few questions later we were in the car to ER. Well, you how the rest how this goes, imaging CT scans of my head, face and neck ( to check my 'hardware' from 3level ACDF (Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion)of cervical spine). The wait for that reading was 90mins, etc back to room finally ER nurse on duty came in delivered a Tetanus shot.  Then some time later ER doc came in and tidy  up my nose  and Q-tipped the Dermabond onto my nose's  right side.  And delivered a litany of  restrictions for not making the fracture worse.
My discharge nurse told me the scans were fine save for the nose.
My nose dosen’t  look smashed in or  do I have black eyes ---well just from my mascara when  I woke Monday AM...raccoon eyes for sure. LOL
 Any one with allergies will know what they are  some of the restrictions are---sadly no Flonase up the nose or sinus flushing. I'm stuffy and a entire face aches with lots of sinus pressure extending up to my eyes.  Sleeping restrictions too.

I have Rx for Augmenten Clav875- 875mg/125mg tab twice daily w/food.   Plus a another Rx.  No pain meds as I refuse narcotic drugs. I have Ex- strength Tylenol and that will have to do.

The entire Rxs cost--- $0.16.   It’s because Publix has special pricing for certain antibiotics, some are  FOC (free of charge) others are discounted.

That's about the sum/total.  Save for me not being able to tolerate my eye glasses too long a time. Either sit on my nostrils or high above scrunchhing my eyelashes  against my eyeballs.

I have appointment w/ PCP tomorrow for follow Up and obtian a  referral to EENT.

Thanx for the update Phyl. Good news that other conditions were not affected. Ouch. Hope you feel better soon.

Um... sitting here laughing at and admonishing myself. One of my reactions after finishing reading was... mascara?!?!! OK... I know I am by nature very judgemental. I got it from my Mom. I wear makeup maybe 12 days a year... if that. LOL. I had a long talk with Camper before we got serious... regarding his expectations. Luckily, he is attracted to my "tomboy" nature, but is appreciative when I get "gussied up".  :o
My memories of Mom include her wearing red lipstick every day. But that was it. Later in life the palette softened and she would add shadow when dressed up. But more often, she dressed casually as a home gardener, camper, Girl Scout leader, etc. My role model.

I've been pretty busy today, but I got in a 29-minute walk mid-afternoon.  I kept it a bit shorter at the request of my knee and ankle.  ;)

I had wondered how much snow/ice/winter precip Beakers in various areas had gotten/were getting. That same clipper is expected to bring 5 inches of snow, starting tonight and into tomorrow, to my Mtns Sis, in the northeast Tenn mountains. She loves snow, and is hoping the forecast comes true.  ;D

Tonight my college basketball team plays in the Jimmy V Classic, in New York, and it's going to be a big game, so I gotta get my "cheer" on!  :D  GO HEELS!!  :D

P.S. Lani, UNC plays UConn tonight!   :o  Your Jayhawks just barely beat them in a nip-and-tuck squeaker a few days ago!!  But UConn (the Huskies) only fell from Number 4 to Number 5 this week. My Heels moved back up into the Top 10 this week, at Number 9.  It could be a close game - maybe it will come down to whoever has a hot hand from the 3-point range. We'll see... let the nailbiting begin...


Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

PHYL   Rough fall to be sure.  I'm so relieved to hear your cervical spine was still intact!  Day by day you will feel better.

TIG  My Mom similar.  Essentially no make up except powder and eye brow pencil - maybe a bit of lipstick if we had company or she went out.  Thus that is what I come from.  Not an area I pay much attention to  LOL

 Please, don't anybody, especially Phyl, take me wrong. I was simply being down on myself for even thinking about the mascara first, instead of concentrating on the injury and trauma poor Phyl was going through. There is no judgement towards anyone wearing makeup. The judgement is toward me ... for even letting the thought enter my mind.
Time to sleep and move on.
Camper seems a bit better tonight. Prayers answered.

Old Guy?  I hope you are okay!  Long time no see no hear!
Tsk, I do not understand why Tim cant get his arms wet.  Afraid of infection  where needles went?   Glad he seems better.  Afib is sure tricky to treat and. Seems to affect people differently. 
Lisa, hope you can baby sit this weekend!

Good Evening Beakers

Sat. night was a 1 win and 1 loss night - both were close games...  was checking the score on the football game with my phone while playing cards.  Then watched the second half on TV - I thought the game was about as expected - the score was better than the results of the Iowa/Penn St. game earlier in the season.

The women's BB team is having another great season so far, with the star player setting new records every week.

The Christmas floor at work is shrinking in area every day.  Live trees are selling fast and live porch pots only had 10 left at noon today.  Artificial trees are also selling out - less than 20 models (out of 83) with small number of boxes left.

Glad to hear that those with medical issues the past week are making some recovery.

KB - good job on the snow blower startup - wow, that cougar was close to you.

The estate is getting close to the end - I still have stuff in a storage unit to complete, but hoping to get the funds distributed by the end of the month.  Have an appointment with a CPA in the morning to go over my personal taxes this year, because of a lump sum payment for Executor Compensation.

Still have work to do today, but they Ed & Kelsey won't be home until probably around 5:00 so I have time to finish up!

Lani, hope the calming collar effects keep working! Is it feliway in the collar? I will be able to decorate for Christmas Sunday, after Erin helps Ed get the decorations and tree up from the basement! I have never been this late decorating, but Erin was in Florida the weekend after Thanksgiving, and Ed and Kelsey gone this last weekend! Then we will have Christmas with Erin's on the 17th since we will be leaving for Mom's on the 22nd!

baz, love the pictures of the kids! The older twins are in the same grade as Talon and the younger twins are in Kindergarten, like Bella! Talon is 9 and Bella will be 6 in February!

oldguy, you have been busy! I'll catch up on the videos this afternoon! Good to be nearly done with your sister's estate! I think the holdup is usually the IRS. Kay's sister is waiting for the last piece to close the estate, and of course it's the IRS. It took them over 3 months just to get back to her on the taxes she had to pay and she is still waiting on the final, after the sale of the townhouse, etc. I filed my extension request on 4/14 and on August 19th I got a letter from the IRS stating that they couldn't approve my request because it was received after the deadline. I didn't owe them, they ended up owing me so no big deal, but it took that long to tell me...

E4E, I think Kelsey is ready to come home, she misses her routine!

tig, glad to hear Camper is feeling a bit better!

kb, technically inclined kids are good for us seniors!

Phyl, hope you are feeling better today, thankful you have no black eyes like my Mom did when she fell and hit her nose! Hope Maggie is giving you kitty love... Thank goodness no injury to your back or neck!

tsk, and Tim is feeling better too! My goodness, we are having a time in the Beak!

Lori, love your little Holiday train for Godiva! Good to see you again!

Lisa, this is one you want to watch while driving over the bridge!  https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/watch-the-new-world-s-largest-cruise-ship-pass-under-a-bridge-with-only-feet-to-spare/ar-AA1l4WOA?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=b15dcf29ce084403bf2a18f90687d205&ei=21

GOOD MORNING ALL

KAREN   In the hospital ( ER) Tim had 3 IV's going in 3 different sites.  He was on so much blood thinner that he kept bleeding under the bandages holding the IVs in place.   Eventually all IV's stopped but large dressings were placed on these 3 sites to insure clotting would occur.  I think he will take them off today.   Piper said "what?" to your decorations  LOL

OLDGUY   Sounds like a typical busy Xmas season at the big box. :o   Settling estates is a long process. Bless you for doing it all.  Not easy.   Two weeks and 30 builders for that 800,000 domino set up.  :o :o   Wasp removal was amazing - What a job!    Scolded kittens Awww   Will finish Santi at lunch break  ;) ;)

BAZI    LOLOL  on the kids decorating. 62.5% compliance   ;D

CLYNN   Like the porch chair decoration.  Is Becky also coming on the 22nd to Moms ?   Kelsey's a real trouper.  Would love the before and after of all your efforts. Ed is bound to notice.  You won't have much time at home to enjoy all your Xmas decorations this year.  :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GODIVA

oldguy - thank you for the update on Iceland. I'd been wondering what was happening. Wow, the guy in the video said they might look back someday and wonder why they put the Capitol where they did!.
Also, thanks for the compliment on starting my snowblower, esp. from you. As you know an electric start Honda is different than our older Toro.

Have to drop the Jeep off, just recently passed 65,000 miles!, for her winterizer check up. Ugg, I have to walk home but it's only a few blocks away!
Then a walk with Ollie man, etc. etc.

https://kstp.com/kstp-news/local-news/cougar-struck-by-vehicle-killed-in-minneapolis/

So sorry to report most likely the same cougar spotted in Minneapolis on camera was hit and killed on the highway early this morning :( :(. The DNR has the body and the man who hit him struck a barrier on the highway but he himself is uninjured.
This is why they don't belong in very very dense areas....so sorry Mr./Mrs. Cougar, that you lost your way.

Many suspect they are lone males traveling from the Dakotas or farther from the west and crossing MN. We have lots of open/rural land. For some reason maybe the Large River valleys are attractive to them?.and then they head towards the city?

OLDGUY   Thanks for tracking down the owl variety.  Next to that Luzon Lowland owl next to it in the link it has spectacular eyes.    Was a good Santi piece today reflecting on earlier this year.

Oh Lani that bulldog Santa and those baubles. Tks for info on  kitty calming collars .And esp for the good wishes at Doc's today.    Say those cute little birds in the 365 are Red knots who've migrated to  Britteny,France sporting non- breeding 'plumage'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_knot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_knot)

to the suburbs. That  'owl cafe' selling raptors(?) Hope not. As you thought--rehab and displaying in cafe like setting.

The DNR has stated the cougar was marked, and the Nebraska Game and Fish Commission has confirmed it was a 2 year old male.  A necropsy will be performed to find out more. Reminder: Cougars don't live in Minnesota. I believe as much as we know about "Everything", we know very little..the mysteries about all continue ;D
He was hit on highway 394.

That cafe  with the owls sounds like a pet store for wild life!  Not a fan  but do not live in Pakistan!
Happy Birthday Godiva!   Hope you enjoyed the cupcake from Lori!   Hope you do not mind that I ate half!  Mmm, so yummy!
Tsk, good for Tim!   Do you make peanut butter blossoms?
Clynn, Imagine Kelsey and Ed have  crossed the Mississippi and pulled into  the drive!
Eagles and Tig, 😭
Lani, that is one decorated Georgia Bulldog!
Old Guy, good to see you.
Phyl, easy does it!
Baz, did your sister send any snow pictures?  So pretty!
Had a terrible nights sleep last night.  Got in bed and the controller would not work! Changed batteries, nothing!  Took forever to fall asleep and kept waking up with serious back pain and vertigo!  Was sleeping on two pillows and Piper was in a state!  She said, first the Christmas c**p snd now you took my pillow and the bed is flat!  She laid down and then stood up and looked again!   This morning my back was not good!  Tried to unlock the thing, no go!  U plugged it for  an hour and by then the help arrived and it is now fixed!
So in a bit, Piper and I will head to the bed!  Alls well that ends well!   Ent tomorrow! Seds

Howdy Beakers!  :)

I saw more of the story about that 2-year old male cougar, poor thing. He had been tagged 2 years ago in northwest Nebraska, so he had traveled hundreds of miles, the DNR said. It was a good news article about him from CBS, but I didn't post the link because it had a photo of him after he had been hit. Very sad.  :'( :-*

((Karen)), I didn't get any snow pictures this time from my Mtns Sis. She said it was a pretty snow at her place, but started melting quickly - a heavy dusting is how she described it.  I hope your back gets to feeling better, and your vertigo! Hope you get some more restful sleep - and Piper, too.

Tig, got it. Thanks.


Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

LISA   He didn't nap ( sometimes 2 hours - not good) at all yesterday or today and I think that helps to have a good night's sleep.

KAREN  I cut way back this year.  I just made chocolate pretzel bark and crockpot peanut clusters.  Both pretty easy. No cookies  or mini breads or the like to give away.  I've not made peanut butter blossoms but know what they are.   The first thing I go to like you is the battery - next unplug for about a minute and replug in - then it usually works.  Sounds like that's what happened - Now you know.  What an awful time for the bed to go out tho.  Tonight will be better.

(((Karen))) so sorry you had a lousey night--glad in the end you got your controller fixed. Piper  :-*
Sending some extra 'Zzzzs' your way.

Tsk your Chrismas confections sound yummy---Jim and Dad would love the peanut clusters.  Here's to another good night for Tim.

Lisa/Eagles doc got called away so I saw her NP (nurse practioner). She's very nice and cautious. Jim asked her some questions that I knew professonally /legally couldn't anwer. I didn't hold her to the issue.  Importantly a referal to a EENT in Brentwood/Cool Spgs. Just this side of the city, who she and doc think mostly highly of professionally. So  will get a call from them.
NP did aread the ER report and a very, very, very  gentle exam of my nose---more like on the very very tip of nasal bone. Could have missed it altogher if more fortunate.  ::)

CLynn sure hope Ed/Kelsey are back h ome safe and sound.

OG congrats on the card game.


I still feel drained from the experience.
Now I have to do the finger to the nose  'thing' to stave of  a rash of sneezes.  >:(
Tylenol is a Godsend.

Time for 'chow'...

Kb - That was great news about your jeep - so good you didn't have to think of getting any maintenance or repairs! :)   So sad about the Cougar. :(

LisaG - Wonder if it would be worth the $$ to rent a small truck from U-Haul or Home Depot to do it all in one trip?  I don't have any idea of the cost, so if you say you'd rather use your car, I understand!

Lani - Glad it seems like the collar is working.  Was it for Norman?  I think you said Milo is more mild (unless I got it wrong)! :-[

Tig - Brrrr - that pool was cool! ::)

Puff - I agree what you said about the cougar - so sad.

Tsk - Awesome that Tim had his best night's sleep ever!!! :)   

Phyl - So nice to have Maggie by your side keeping you company and hopefully you are still trying to take it easy. :)  Glad Jim is much better!  Although you saw the NP today, will you still need an appt to see your actual Doctor?

Karen - Hopefully tonight you have a much better night and maybe by now Piper has gotten more used to the Christmas decorations and is ready for a good night's sleep too. :)   Sorry for your vertigo and Back pain - hope it all eases up and you feel better soon. {{Karen}}

Bazi - Cute birthday greeting for Godiva!   Like the pic of the Twins on their walk. :)

Beakers have a good night - sleep well  :)

Lori, Godiva will love the birthday greeting! I hope she's well.

{{{Karen and Piper}}} sorry about last night. I pray you both have a better night's sleep.  :-*

Baz, great birthday greeting for Godiva! I'd love that cake.

Tsk, I love peanut clusters. I hope your time at the Social Concerns Desk is going well...  I pray Tim has another good night's sleep.

Hi Eagles, the collar was for Milo, He's bugging me for attention right now and Norman is like sleeping beauty in his basket.

Phyl, prayers for continued, healing and comfort through the night.

Mike's in the valley for a meeting. I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning to meet him.
If I can get in on my ipad I'll check in.

Good night!

History of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day
The History of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is the history of the attack itself, an attack which took place on December 7th, 1941. The attack was devastating, killing over 2,400 citizens of the United States from the time it began at 7:48am Hawaiian time and ended just 90 minutes later, making the attack incredibly devastating. Multiple ships were lost during the attack, though things could have been much worse.
Intelligence gathered after the attack indicated that there was intended to be a third-wave of attacks to hit the island, complete with an invasion fleet intended to take the island and prevent it from being used as an American base of operation.
The purpose behind this surprise attack? America was well positioned in the Pacific to interfere with Japanese fleet maneuvering, and it was hoped that by launching this assault they would cripple the US Pacific Presence and be able to control the ocean unhindered.

Pearl Harbor Firsthand Accounts: Video
On December 7, 1941, a surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor shocked America. These are the stories of veterans who were at the naval base that morning.

karen - I hope you got a better night's sleep last night. 

baz - Do the twins live where it is warm?  I notice they have short sleeves on. 

tsk - Yep, I agree that napping can disrupt your night's sleep.  I bet he was tired too from being at the hospital and being woke up all hours of the night by the nurses.

Phyl - Sounds like a good report from the NP.  Hope you get an appt with the ENT soon.  Thanks for the history of Pearl Harbor, 365, and RRP post.  I remember that day...HM trying to keep DH2 dry.

E4E - We are thinking about renting a truck for the stuff that Bradley still has here at my house...bed, book cases, TV, entertainment center.  He doesn't need those right away, so no rush on that.  We are helping him move stuff from their apartment to the new house, that he does not want the movers to move and throw around. 

Lani - Have a fun time in the valley today.  :D

tsk - Your peanut clusters sounded yummy.  Are they hard to make? 

Happy Heavenly Birthday to JANE CR

Lisa, love your cute Christmas coffee cup! I think renting a truck will make it so much easier for you and Jeff!

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog, the video of 'shelter in the storm' is definitely one of those endearing moments when our hearts and prayers go out for our eagles... cute little shore birds, love watching them run when the waves come in. Great 365, although I couldn't tell the difference in the birds! Hope your schnauz is feeling better today!  Pearl Harbor, still a day we remember well, even if we weren't even born when it happened. I wonder if kids of today will still remember in the future...  Wow, high will be 61 here today!  Ed and Kelsey got home about 4:30 yesterday, both were glad to be home!

(https://www.grantcountybeat.com/images/2020newsitems/front-page-news/pearl-harbor-2020.jpg)

Lani, so you are driving to the valley this morning! Maybe you and Mike can do a little Christmas shopping and have dinner together! Sweet kitty sleeping under the tree...

E4E, love the goodnight pic, the best of both worlds! Sitting outside around a fire, with snow coming down and a snowman!

tsk, Sounds like Tim is doing well, hope he can avoid the naps and sleep well at night. Ed has a lot of trouble sleeping through the night. His great niece works in a cannabis dispensary in Springfield and gave him something to try. He said he slept through the night... and that is really something for him! He said his doctor told him he would give him a prescription for it but Iowa doesn't have anything worked out very well. Anyway, it's a lot less expensive if you have a doctor's prescription in Illinois. I think he said it was a 35% tax if no prescription.

karen, glad you got your bed working so you can sleep like a baby!

Bright sunny day with temps of 44 now going to a high of 61!  This will be for one hour at 3pm.  It seems like the upper mid west is having a milder season than usual this year!  El Nino and climate change?  Not good for native flora and fauna!
Clynn, love the cartoon of the adjustable bed!  I guess in real life it is even funny!   There are just so many things in life you cannot take too seriously!  Particularly those you have no control over!   Any way, slept very well!  Load of laundry in the dryer.
Planning on a visit to a farmers market after the ent visit.  They say, Georgia grown and at Christmas have chocolate covered pecans!  Gave some to the help at the home last year and they are reportedly very good.  The vet goes there often.
Lisa, truck rental sounds good!   Wow. You will have a lot of empty space at your house  when all of Bradleys things move out!  Has it all been in one room?
Lani, have fun in the valley!
Phyl, how is the nose?   No sneezing or blowing allowed!   The good thing about this is that it will heal!
Off to dress for the appointment today!  Lol, I will put on a tad of make up!   Lol
Eagles, our temps for the day are about the same!

Smiled at your last added comment KarenG  For the week there have been a few mentions of makeup habits.  Personally, I don't go anywhere without my "natural beauty" on.  Even if I go out to feed the birds, water the flowers, get the mail - even then I have to at least put on lips.  Last thing I pass leaving the house is a floor to ceiling 8 foot wide sliding mirrored doors .  I don't like seeing anything blah aka ugly!  Just my thing; lots of reasons behind it.

I also have been following the December 7 rememberances.  Please take this to heart.  The memorial is unbelievaby moving and emotional.  They have changed tour requirements; it takes time and efforts.  Don't wait for last minute.

It's amazing and sad that some arrive never even learning the facts and happenings of that day.  They first start with old, old film clips of the events of the day.  Then there's a short transfer sail out to the monument.  If you know and care there is no way on God's earth that you'll not have your emotions overtake you. 

Such an enormous feeling.  If you have the opportunity never overlook this.  I've been fortunate to have seen and done much.  I've never felt such deep emotions.

Another newer added visit to add is a tour of the USS Missouri.  Last commission was during the Gulf War.  Guides leading you through the decks are retired military personnel; they know everything and have many special comments on what things are or were.  Most overwhelming feeling there, for me, was standing under on the huge deck under the overpowering size of the deck guns/cannons.  WOW.

LISA    Another pretty winter mug.  Layering in the crockpot several chocolate layers over dry roasted peanuts- letting it all melt on low for a couple hours. Stirring.  Tedious part is getting teaspoonfuls into  - I used - mini cupcake papers - Makes a ton - about 75  LOL  Ran out of papers.  You can google and find a lot of similar recipes for these.

CLYNN  Funny you should mention the cannabis - My Florida girlfriend who's husband died 3 months ago couldn't sleep.  Long story - a doc wrote prescription for cannabis chewies and she sleeps like a baby on just half a one...no after affects.  Since then she has found a ton of people who have been using this for years to sleep!!!!  All new to me.  Glad it works for Ed.  Every state, like you suggest, is different - some don't even require doc prescription.    LOLOL  Cartoon for KAREN.   Happy to hear the travelers are home safe and sound.

KB  You've got us beat- 48 and breezy so feels even cooler.  BUT is a sunny day  - long in coming.

KAREN  Enjoy your afternoon out.

Norman Lear passed yesterday at 101 - am sure it's been all over the news.

Lori - Good to see you! LOL, it's a beaut Clark!  I love the VW bus all decked out!

Puff - I am like you...I do not step out the house without my full face on. And, the only time you will catch me without one on is when I am having surgery!  ;D

Tig, LOLOL! That dachshund is the cutest!!  :D  :-*  I hope Camper is feeling better, and you are continuing to be better.


Lisa, my twin "greats" live in Charlotte - it was in the 70s several days there last week.  I know B&K are so thankful for the help you and Jeff give them, and will give them with their move to their new home. What an exciting Christmas it's going to be!  :)

Karen, I'm glad you slept better, and hope your back is better, too. That is a GREAT cam shot of The Might M at SWFL.  :-* :-*

Emyrauld! Great to see you stopping by The Beak!  LOLOL, love your ditty about makeup!!  ;D

Clynn, glad Ed and Kelsey are back home safely. Thanks for posting Karen's pic from SWFL. Your pic of the Owl family on their ledge nest reminds me so much of Allesondra's OKC GHO owl cam from their original nesting location on her family's home's balcony with the live cam and moderated chat her father created. I watched that cam all hours of the day and night and was a regular on their chatroll there, for several years, even after the Owls moved their nest. I felt like I got to know Allesondra's whole family, including their aunt (I think she was), who lived nearby and posted her own photos of the owls on neighbors' roofs and in trees nearby after they fledged.  :D :-*  You must be busier than ants at a picnic, getting ready for an early Christmas gathering at your house, and for travels. I hope you put your feet up with your fav adult beverage as often as needed.  ;) :D

((TSK)), I'm so glad Tim is resting well, and hope he can get the best treatment to control his symptoms. I can taste those yummy homemade morsels you're making all the way from your house! Lucky recipients of them! And of your church's Advent packages.  :) :-*

Lani, safe travels to the valley, and enjoy your time there with Mike.  :)

Lori, Happy Thursday backatcha!  :D  LOL on all the kitty Christmas fun!  I think Destini might've played the title role in, "It's a Wonderful Lap."   ;) ;D :-*




Remembering JaneCR on her birthday. Her kind spirit, and knowledgeable posts in several threads, are remembered and missed.  :-*

Also finished my puzzle in 4-5 days.....hmm, it was addicting to both Chris and I.  It was harder than I thought but not insurmountable. 500 large piece Ravensburger puzzle.

Lisa festive cup this morning. Grilled chicken breast sound delish. Left over Chicken parmesan tonight, etc. Here's to an uneventful move for B, K and S an---Stewie  and Ziva too.

CLynn so glad Ed and Kelsey are home safely. The video of HD sheltering DH2 in the ice storm tugs at the heartstrings mightily. I remember watching ...as we all did.   Oh  Gosh. That cartoon for Karen. Look at those owlets.

KB thanks for the Snow Leopards---great snap by the trail cam. You are toasty.  ;)  Congrats on the puzzle -looks like loads of fun; grilled steaks  good weather for grilling

CLynn tks for posting 'Mighty M' brooding his egglets, for Karen this moring.

Karen how'd the doc appt go? Well I hope.  Nose will hurt for sometime although I 'baby' it. Hopefully, the EENT , if I get an appointment , will give me some direction on when I can take care of my sinsuses  and use my Rx. Maggie never leaves my side.  Where would we be without our kitties and pups?

Lori lovely tribute to 'Jane CR'. She added so much to the threads with her knowledge ---so helpful when I was a 'newbie'.

Puff  :)

Tsk tks. I missed the news programs today---RIP Norman Lear, thanks for the laughs. Advent work y'all do touches so many.

Lori " Feliz Naughty-Dog"   ;D    Wreath on doggie door ; Peace Christmas tree, indeed.

Hi Emy cute limmerick; nice seeing you.

Lisa, be sure the cats are=in a closed room or crate during the move!  Tgey get freaked outbwith the activity and many in the neighborhood have bolted, never to be seen again!   Same for the move out and move in!   Jmho
Phyl, apt went well!  The usual maneuvers and vibrator on the head.  I was admonished not to bend down, turn head, etc for 48 hours.  Very hard for me! shall see how I do!

Funny limerick Emy.  Good to see you and thanks for sharing!
I did not copy the picture of Mighty M.  It was one of many on the sefl Facebook page.  Thought the sky was pretty and he  was doing one of   His  favorite things.  Apologies to the gal who captured it and  shame on me for forgetting her name.   Big thanks to Clynn for posting it!

Puff - I bet it is a special experience to tour the USS Missouri.  You have been to and toured a lot of historical places!

Tsk - Yes, been seeing the tributes and remembrances on Norman Lear. RIP

Lani - Hope you & Mike got to have lunch together in the Valley!

Tig - Cute Dachshund jumping in the winter wonderland  ;D

Lori - Lots of great and funny comics today!! ;D ;D

LisaG - I like your idea to make the extra room, Sydney's room.  She will build beautiful memories of having that special room at her Grandparents home! :-*   It looks like Bradley's new house will be closer to his work?   Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken by Jeff!

Bazi - Lovely tribute for JaneCR. :-*

kb - Love the puzzle - must have been lots of fun - very cute!! ;D   Enjoy your delicious dinner!

Phyl - Glad you are taking care and sweet Maggie staying by your side. :) :)

Tsk - You, Tim, and Lulu have a good evening. :-*

Karen - I was reminded of a sad event when you cautioned about moving the cat from one house to another.  Back when I was 10, my family moved to another house and our family cat who I was so attached to and loved so much, somehow got out of the house during the first couple of days, and I never saw her again.  I was so very sad.  I remember my Mom & I going door-to-door around the neighborhood showing a photo and asking if they had seen our cat, but of course, all of this was to no avail.  She was a pretty black & white cat and her name was Mitsie.

Beakers have a nice peaceful evening - SED's

Hi Beakers,
We're very tired from our trip to the valley. Mike had his MRI and 2 doctor appointments, lots of waiting.
Didn't plan on any shopping. Of course confirmed his lower spine has worsen. He has an appointment for a shot
on the 22nd. They need approval from insurance company.

Phyl, thanks for Pearl Harbor history, I'll always remember my family being part of the story... I'll watch the video this weekend... cute nature vid, cute little leggins moving quickly over the shore.... oh what a heartbreaking memory of HD protecting DH2 from the icy storm. It's always hard to watch during those times... sweet Christmas sweaters.

Tsk, God bless for all you do for others....  I'll decorate our tree this weekend. Mike takes about two cat naps a day and is in bed by 7pm. Then he's up at midnight for an hour.  :-\... I hope Tim gets some good zzzzs tonight.

Clynn, Happy to hear Ed and Kelsey arrived home  ;D ... no shopping for us, just Mike's doctor appointments. Traffic was terrible in Phoenix/Scottsdale, saw three car accidents...  that mama owl and babies are adorable. Nice area with a view. I hope it's not too hot for the owlets.

Kb, gorgeous cats! Fun puzzle! I would enjoy doing that one too.  ;D.... awww love the typewriter story. I've always regretted getting rid of my typewriter. There are times you just want to type a short note... end of an era.

Clynn and Karen, great pic of SWFL M doing nesting duties.

Lisa, you'd be amazed what you can get in the small U-Haul van. It's a good idea. What a busy week for Sydney's parents, baby, Stewie and Ziva. The cats are going to have a surprise too.... Jeff grilling chicken... We love grilling outdoors in the winter. Food always smells especially delicious.

Karen, I hope you had a good day  :) ... the sky is beautiful in the SWFL pic, it's a lovely pic and thanks for sharing  :-*

Puff, thank you for sharing your thoughts of December 7th remembrance and USS Missouri.

Tig, jumping through a winter wonderland! Adorable!  ;D .. I didn't have problems with the video. It had a couple of ads in front of it, I clicked the x, and was able to see the video. Oh he loves the snow.  :-*

Hi Eagles  :)

Lori, love your Christmas posts! Feliz Naughty Dog, VW, cartoons LOL!  ;D

Emy, great to see your post! Love the limerick! Do you still watch the birds? Peregrines?

I will be working at our women's educational fundraiser tomorrow. I'm in charge of food/kitchen, another busy day.
I won't be able to check in, I'm taking Sadie on a quick short walk at 6:30am, I need to get the ovens warming at the
church by 8:30am, serving brunch at 10am our auction of Christmas items at 11am.

HI EVERYONE

KAREN    Good reminder to LISA.  When we moved into this house we had two cats.  We had access to the house before the movers came so we would bring the cats over in their cages and just let them smell the new surroundings while we put a few things away.  The day of the move we brought them over and set them ( caged) in a corner of the kitchen where they would not see all the action.  When all was done we brought them to the basement and sat them next to their litter and left them alone to explore.

EAGLES    Awwww  How sad at the time for you at age 10 to lose Mitsie.

LANI    Wait Wait Wait - the story of medicine lately.  Hope Mike can endure til he gets the shot.  Ins co.  :P   Thanks so much for post our Jane's photos. I don't remember the young pic of her.   She was such a nice person.  You have a busy day.  :o   Hope your women's educational fundraiser makes a lot of money at the auction.  ;)

BAZI   I could hear the Chipmunks song in my head before playing it  LOL  Had it as kids on the record player.  Bet it drove Mom and Dad nuts.  ;D

Lani, wow, you have a busy day today! Hoping all goes well and you raise a lot of money for your group! And prayers for the quick approval of the shot for Mike.

E4E, I remember when our cat Bogey (my soul cat) somehow got out back in Springfield. I walked the streets around the house many times, and Ed put signs up and went door to door in the neighborhood. We were heartbroken...two or three days later a lady on the next street over called our number from the posters we handed out and said she didn't know what a Siamese cat looked like but there was a strange cat that had been sitting on her porch all morning. She gave Ed the address, he walked over to her house and there he was! Ed picked him up and brought him home!

kb, really enjoyed the video of the typewriter repair shop! When I started working at the mortgage company in 1987 (and even before that at the bank in 1983) everyone had a typewriter at their desk, along with an adding machine. A dumb terminal (no computers). The first fax machine in 1989. One very slow computer in the whole site, for transmitting to FHA. Accounting done on the green ledger sheets.

Phyl, hope your nose is feeling better today! Amy's Blog, very interesting and good videos! I want to throw some fish out there for those hungry eagles!

tsk, how is Tim doing? And what is going on at the church this weekend? Are you done with your goodies for Christmas?

Lisa, so wonderful that you can have a room for Sydney in your house! She will love it!

Arggggh! My computer is so slow this morning--as it was last night.
Could hardly get it going and all much less get a task accomplished.

Tsk nice greeting this morning; I had the Chipmunks records and watched the TV show too.  ::)  My poor parents.

CLynn  Scary story about Bogey---wonderful  Ed found him.  When I saw Alvin/Chipmunk post  there was no need to click the link--that Christmas song is forever lodged in my brain. Ditto  on that song  being annoying now. In the late 1980s, I sold my Chipmunk records(only had 3)  to a vinyl collector for $50 . Then I bought some groceries and fulled the tank on the Chevy.   Luv the cuppa with the cookie house on rim.  Luv the Christmas tree---Peace, if only... 
 Thanks for the 'I Love Lucy'  :)

Lisa had to go back and re-read some posts.  Yours---a room for Sydney with her grandparents. How lovely for her and you. She'll love it. I bet you'll have fun decorating

Been almost a week and I never go that long with a dirty 'mop'. LOL   It's going to be real task ---  I'll have to stand with my head tilted a back to the shower head and pray the BPPV doesn't make me fall on my head. LOL       If I bend forward then the dirty water will run down my nose.  Won't be good for an infection.  Speaking of---having adverse reaction to the Augmenten...not surprizing at-all. But somtimes a person's 'system' changes. However, not this time.   My nose is 'itchy' today and the Derma bond is peeling off. That sounds about right though on the Dermabond.    Maybe  a 'paint job' on the face too.  ;D

No bounce

I haz a sad today... 20 years since my Dad passed.
Happy he hung on long enough to walk me down the aisle when I was 48.

Next best memory: one Easter during our annual after brunch kite flying with the cousins across the parkway at the "updraft hill", he brought over a huge ball of string under his jacket and secretly tied it to my kite. Hours later when the other families went home and we could barely see my kite a couple blocks away, he and my Bro built a winder out of wood. It still took an hour to land. I won. LOL.
Thanx Daddy.

Phyl - Love the lil sweaters last night.  Chicken parm sounds delish.  I have not made that in a while.  Thanks for DOTY and RRP post.  How's the nose feeling?

karen - I will be sure to let them know.  They would both be devastated if Stewie or Ziva got out.

E4E - It's about the same distance to Bradley's work from his apartment, as to his new home.  I like the idea too of having a lil room for Sydney.  I do not want a junk room...LOL

Lani - Big gentle ((hugs)) for Mike.  Enjoy your day at your women's educational fundraiser.  Good luck with your auction.

baz - Thanks for the tunes.   ;D

tsk - Good cat advice, too. I am relaying this to Bradley, as well as karen's. 

clynn - Annoying yes, but don't you find yourself singing like the chipmunks  ;D ;D  Love the lil Gingerbread houses on the coffee mug.

((tig))

kb - That is a great idea!  I downloaded something like that from Friskies when I had the kittens here at the house and they loved it.

Morning oldguy, Puff, and all  :)

Lani - Long day for you & Mike in the Valley yesterday for his medical appts - sure hope the shot on the 22nd gives him immediate relief.  So nice of you to help at the Women's fundraiser today - bet you will be very busy in the kitchen.  I'm sure it will be a great success! :) :)    Thank you for posting JaneCR pictures.

Bazi - Alvin & the Chipmunks  ;D

Phyl - Thank you for your kind words.  Hope your nose is healing nicely, although it will undoubtedly take a while. {{Phyl}}   Liked Peregrine Falcon in 365.

Tsk - Thank you so much.   You did the right thing in how you introduced your two cats to your new home when you first moved in. :)

Clynn - Thank you for your story of when your Bogey went missing, and so happy you & Ed got him back!   Like the cast of I Love Lucy with the Christmas tree - I saw that episode!! ;D

Tig - Awe, sending a special hug to you today on the 20 yr anniversary of your Dad passing. {{Tig}}   Love the wonderful story of Easter long ago when your Father brought that huge ball of string for your kite!!!! What a fun & special memory!!!! :-* :-* :-*

Og - That is a good suggestion for Phyl!

Kb - Interesting way to keep the kitties occupied - never saw that before! :)

Beakers have a nice day.

The Advent giving drive - going on since the weekend after Thanksgiving - ends this weekend.  Hectic time.  Tim doing good  ;D    The Ricardos and Mertzes  ;D

PHYL   Good 365  Tim saw our Cooper's hawk this AM fly into the arborvitae and pick out a tasty breakfast and carry it away.  :'( :'(     What if you wore a mask in the shower??

(((TIG)))  Love the kite memory of Dad  :-* :-*

OLDGUY   Great idea for Phyl!

KB    The cats really seem to like that IPAD game  LOLOL  And they figured out how to play it  ;D

LISA   Heart shaped mugs - Right up my alley  ;D   Could you also make that room into an office as well? Or do you already have an office space?

EAGLES  What a cheerful AM post.  ;D

Good morning!  High today of 66!   Piper says woof, woof!
Tig, you have special happy memories of your Dad, be Happy in remembering Him and the good things!
Phyl, great suggestion from Old Guy!   Another is ,if you have a walk in shower, install a hand held  shower head, get a no slip mat and a chair!  Recommend a potty chair with the bucket removed!   Best investment I ever made!
Lisa, can you board the cats at your home for the weekend?  Use Sydneys room? Received a first time catalog  the other day that was interesting,,   They are on line, called Olive and .cocoa, it is from Utah. Expensive but some different things to perhaps duplicate! lani, have fun in the kitchen,  what are you cooking?  Good luck with the fundraiser!   I find with the back shots it usually takes two to get the best relief!  Hate them!
Phyl, hard to get appointments now as folks are going to mds now in droves as deductibles have been met.  Do not want to go after the first!
The dog in the snow waS funny!   No problem seeing it, clicked that the x in the upper right hand corner to eliminate the ad and the video began playing.I think that would be Piper.

tig - LOL,  great jokes!

karen - Looked up your Olive & Cocoa...nice stuff!  Jeff would rather not stress out Bandit with anymore kitties coming into the house, and I highly doubt Bradley & Kelly would let the kitties come here.  Stewie has been thru the moving process before, its Ziva who went from my house to shelter to Bradley's.

TGIF, BEAKERS!!  WOOT!!!


(https://www.digitalmomblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/long-week-funny-friday-memes-735x917.jpg)


 ;D :-* :-*


I walked 47 minutes today... followed a new-to-me path today, for new sights and sounds, and different pooches to greet who were on walks with their humans.  :D :-* :-*  I missed my walk on Wednesday and Thursday, so it was nice to get it in today - much nicer weather for it today, too - warmer, with calm wind today - not the 33 mph gusty winds like I had 2 days ago. LOL.

My new refrigerator is scheduled to deliver Jan. 3rd. I will be glad when it's here. Living out of my freezer is not fun, since I have to completely forgo some foods that require refrigeration but don't adapt to being frozen very easily.

Last night I baked a whole fillet side of Alaska salmon - one that got away from the Brooks Falls bears.  ;)  I had bought a bag of fresh Roma tomatoes, so I quartered them and put them in the baking dish with the whole salmon side, to roast with it. Lots of herbs and spices, of course.  I steamed some cauliflower, and I reheated a fourth of a baked sweet potato that was a frozen leftover. I've been missing my normal veggies recently, so it was so good to have several last night with dinner. All the leftovers were portioned and frozen to have again - they will make 3 more meals, so I will have the same dinner tonight as last night.  ;)  Thank goodness I'm not a Diva when it comes to reheating leftovers.  ;) 8)


Phyl, have you ever tried dry shampoo? It might be something you could use in emergencies, or when you don't want to get your head wet.  I have helped a couple of people use it when they were in the hospital.  It's not like getting a real shampoo, of course, but it helps in a pinch!



Waving to All the Beakers!  Have a good evening All!  :D


It's...

Hello Beakers, just asking for prayers needed for Bald Eagle Mom Andria...  :'(  Thank you so much.

I am so grateful we have RRP that rescues our babies especially due to human fault ie: lead poisoning.  Prayers for you sweet Andria in Lousiana. Lori

December 8, 2023 Update:
07:44:00 From Steve Shively, Kisatchie National Forest Wildlife Biologist:
Obviously, Andria is big time sick. I thought she looked like she was recovering yesterday but now it looks like a long downhill slide. Maybe she will recover, but if I had to bet I would bet not.
We will NOT climb the tree to capture her. If she falls out of the nest, we will try to retrieve her and get her to LSU in hopes she could be saved then release her back if she is saved.
If she dies or is off the nest for a prolonged period it is not likely that Alex could incubate the eggs to hatching much less raise young to fledging alone.
There are lots of hazards in the natural world for all wildlife and eagles are not immune. Most wildlife, eagles included, manage to keep population going despite hazards.
Lots of eagles in Louisiana and their population is increasing. Unfortunate and tragic that this eagle is suffering like this and may die. But that's reality.
We all hope she survives and eggs hatch and young fledge. If she dies, we may discontinue streaming this nest, depending on circumstances"

A Great Gray Owl I photographed at Sax-Zim Bog near Cotton, Minnesota today (December 7th).  According to the Audubon Society,  Sax Zim Bog is the best place in America to find these rather rare birds.  They look huge, but it is mainly feathers.  Great Horned Owls usually weigh more.

with all the owls I saw when I volunteered at the Raptor Center, I never saw a Great Gray up close and personal.

Hi, I don't really follow this nest either I was just asking for prayers... I am "assuming" it's probably lead poisoning, but I have no idea and that is not confirmed.  I will try to get more info.  Prayers for Mama Andria 💜

LISA  That's great  - Then you can go all out on a cute little girl theme  ;) ;)

BAZI    LOLOL   " It's been a long week"   Wondered when we would hear about the new frig.  Not too long now and life will be back to normal.  Nice walk today  :D   I'm with you Bazi.  Leftovers never bothered me.  Besides, I hate wasting food - Comes from depression parents... ::)

LORI  Beautiful prayer for our animal friends.  Was not familiar with Andria. Thanks for the info.   "Worst poker face ever"  ;D ;D

KB   That great gray is stunning.  I love owls.

Well I got my hair cut yesterday in my friends home.  We wore masks as her hubby tested + two days before but she was -.   She texted me tonight - she's + now.  Cold symptoms.  Let's hope the masks worked.  I have so much coming up  Yikes.

This missy was raised on leftover meals. Every Friday night a smorgasbord.  ;D


OldGuy/ Eagles  Tks.  for thinking of me.  {{}}  But Since I don't have my car anymore  as Jim took it over---right now,
I don't look pretty enough  to be seen I can't do the salon 'thingy' .  :(

{{{Tig}}} lovely memory of your dad.  May he 'rest in peace'. 

Tsk Cool you have a Cooper's Hawk--- :( :( for  the breakfast.   You're a blessing ---I did the mask suggestion. {{}} It worked perfectly.
I'm sold and won't ever forget.  ;)

Puff the other day in Cheers I did see your menltion about not bending straight over---which was a very well timed reminder of the same I was told
when I tripped at Michaels in Cool Springs a few years back. The impact of the concussion ruptured the skin  beneather my left eyebrow---you may recall.
Anyway, many thanks for the reminder. {{{}}}

KB  I have that very game loaded on my desktop PC for Maggie. She's been years playig it.   Good idea for Lisa. Gone nutz over that Snowman in bath tub. What an imaginative 'night light' .  ;)

Lori of course prayers for Bald Eagle Mom {{{Andria}}}. Please do share whateve news on her you may receive.  Not surprized if it coninues to struggle they'll close that nest's cam down. Happy Friday to you, too.

Bazi  You're telling me it's been a  l-o-n-g week !?    Thanks--- Some time back I had thought it a good idea to keep dry shampoo for myself (in case) and Maggie for that matter. Time got away from me. And well we all know how that goes.  ;)

Tsk Oh no! Hopeing you'll be okay and won't have brought anything home to Tim and Lulu.

Latest update on Andria at Kisatchie National Forest via facebook... We are praying for you sweet girl!💜
Kisatchie National Forest Eagle Cam Fans Facebook link https://www.facebook.com/groups/1106311276803033/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=1523592338408256
latest update today...
POST FOR UPDATES ON ANDRIA:
This pinned post will be the only place in the group for updates regarding Andria and the health issue that she is having - this will serve to keep all questions and answers in one place. Please check back here for updates - I don't think FB notifies when posts are edited so you'll have to scroll. I will add any updates to the bottom.

E-3: Just after noon today Andria appeared to be trying to cast a pellet and then had what appeared to be a seizure on the nest. A few minutes later she was able to cast a huge pellet. But she does still show signs of something not being "right" with her.
KNF's Wildlife Biologist, Steve, and Wildlife Technician, Cody, are aware of the situation and are keeping watch.
KNF has put out this statement: "2:20 PM bald eagle - ​We understand that Andria is having health problems at this time. If she falls from the tree, we will be able to retrieve her and get her to help. We will not intervene by climbing the tree."
Please try not to speculate at this time as the only way to know for certain what caused the health issues in Andria is to have tests run.
While this is certainly not anything we expected to happen, we just have to watch Andria to see how she is faring.

As for outlawing hunting, will never happen, should never happen, as an avid hunter/fisherman, I would advocate strongly against it. Outlawing lead would be good, even if that's not what's ailing her.

____________________________________________________________________
Here is RhondaandCraig's video of the event from yesterday, December 7, 2023 that made it known that there was a definite issue going on with Andria. Warning: this is hard to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iBsE22Xmug

___________________________________________________________________

a sweet post via fb user💜
The first picture is where Andria has been sitting and watching her eggs. I witnessed this beautiful momma as she mustered up her strength and stumbled to her eggs. She gently placed her feet around the eggs, and settled upon them. She has been a good, gentle momma. Nature is gentle and beautiful, but also wild and untameable.

I am not going to watch anymore of Kisatchie National Forest Eagle Cam but I will update you on Andria's status.  Our  Beautiful Beak room is a great place to discuss Eagles and off topic items and I truly believe the prayers we have all sent out as a group have helped our sweet raptors and all fur & feather babies!! I will light a candle for her in Lani's prayer link.  That's all we can do for her right now...  :'(  Thank you for the prayers, all of you are a blessing!  ;)

Sorry for just jumping in after months away.  I do check the Beak room from time to time, but I lack the time and the energy to keep up with such a prolific group.  I have continued to monitor the local peregrine cams, but I have significantly cut back the number of hours I devote to it.  I am not getting any younger.  My eyes tire very quickly.  I would rather reduce my involvement than try to keep up and miss something important and let my group down.  It was a nightmare year this year with all the wild fires and smoke, heat and drought.  We had takeovers and challenges,  sometimes as many as four at most of the sites.  Two of our oldest sites had no eggs at all. At one, no birds returned and no new ones appeared, at the other, our 17 year old female came late and took up with a very young male.  They remained the resident pair until migration, but did not produce offspring this year.  At 2 other sites, we lost 4 chicks in all, 2 to disease and 2 to weather.  And at the other three nests, we lost track of 2 fledglings and rescued 3 or 4 others.  I think we only witnessed 4 possibly successful fledges.   My numbers could be off, it was very busy and mind-numbing. 

As for my avatar, I got it up with the help of Eagle Duck.  I lost it when his family closed down his site.  I tried a couple of times to get it back up using a google url, but lost it again  often after just a few days.  I decided it wasn’t worth the irritation.  I seem to spend a way to much time keeping up with my digital world these days.  What with non stop updates and upgrades I am forever in a fog looking for parts of programs that move around and come and go, work and don’t work.   I swear this is an intentional move by techies that use it to ensure their continued employment.

And with this, I end my whiny post.  If I don’t have anything a little more upbeat to offer, i will stay quiet and just read.

LisaG - That is so special that you are planning to have a room for Sydney.  It won't be long until she becomes familiar with her room and will love it and she will have wonderful memories of coming over to her Grandparent's house!!

Hi Puff!

Tsk - Glad Tim is doing good.  How are Tom & Barb?   Bet it felt good to have your hair cut.  Probably good that you wore a mask. ;)

Tig - Loved your Dad's jokes!!!! Lol!!!! ;D

Bazi - You make delicious meals - and that is great that you make enough for at least a couple of more dinners!

Lori - Awe, so sad - prayers for Andria - I truly hope she makes it.

Phyl - You will find a way to shampoo your hair.  No doubt you will figure it out. :)

Og - Thank you for links!

Emy - Thank you for your knowledge of all the different nests you've kept track of.  Eagle Duck had helped me with several Avatars too.  Then, after he sadly passed,  I had to get a different one.   I think E-D actually helped me with at least 3 or 4 of my previous Avatars. 

Karen - Hope you & Piper are doing good tonight.  Did Piper finally 'accept' your Christmas decorations? ;D

Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

Just wanted to say, Good morning and hope everyone has a great Caturday. We are heading out shortly.  Will check back in later tonight, or tomorrow morning.

T40 - Thanks for the videos, will save those for later.

Lani - Hope your long day was a good one. 

E4E - Love that Christmas pic from last night.

Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post, and so sad about Ryan O'Neal.

Lori - I am glad you are not going to watch, but are going to keep us updated.  I don't think I want to watch the videos either.

oldguy - We are going to be in the 50's today too, with that expected major weather event tomorrow.  It is going to make for a nasty moving day.   Thanks for the videos.

tsk - Oh yikes...I do hope the mask helped.  I know how busy you are this time of the year. 

Have a good day, everyone!

T40, not used to seeing your post first thing in the morning! Thanks for all the fun videos, cats are so cool!

Lani, yes, you had a very busy day yesterday. Hope you rested well... Cute doggie with the bows!

E4E, hope all is going well for you and Kris and the rest of your family!

Emy, good to see you, so sad to hear about the not-so-good year for the birds. I know they are all very special to you, hoping for a better next year. My sister's partner has 30 something bluebird nests in Oregon that she monitors and sends reports on. Some years just aren't good ones...

Phyl, oh, Ryan O'Neil...I so remember crying at the end of Love Story, he was such a sweetheart...He was also in Bones, as Temperence's Dad. I found this picture of Ryan and Ali McGraw taken in 2016. Love Story was filmed in 1978, 45 years ago...  His life was pretty messed up though: https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/12/08/ryan-oneal-dead/

Lori, prayers for Andria...

oldguy, thanks for the entertainment, Simon's Cat and Maru! I bet you have been busy at work! Good luck at cards tonight!

tsk, fingers crossed and prayers that the mask kept you safe, you do so much with your church at Christmas!

kb, beautiful Gray Owl! Love the snowman in the bathtub!

Lisa, safe travels wherever you are going! Helping Bradley and Kelly move in I suspect!

It was a hard day!

update on Mama Andria at Kisatchie National Forest Eagle Cam Andria has fallen from the nest and rangers are going to get her at first light this morning... see below...
Prayers for you sweet Andria there is still hope!!!💜


via Tonya Irwin  facebook
E-3:  Andria appeared to be having trouble breathing and also appeared to have another seizure.  She went over the side of the nest.  The rangers will be able to go get her in the morning.  We are heartbroken.  💔
The Rangers will go out at first light to get her.  She has been found on the ground via the canopy cam.  If she is alive, they will bring her to LSU - LSU has already been contacted.

here is a clip of Andria and her mate Alex on December 5th.  Andria just laid 2 eggs in the past week... Alex is busy protecting Andria, the 2 eggs and his territory💜

This is in Palos Verdes CA. the writer states Peacocks lounge around the neighborhood...hmm, I had no idea that was the case. I can think of wild turkeys here sitting on vehicles. Wonder what either would do to a paint job on the vehicle?

Lori - terrible news but do keep us posted in case they can retrieve her and help.
I know they don't know what is wrong with her but speculations.
I found this and was surprised, a potential other than lead that causes seizures in eagles..
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191018080612.htm
A virus affecting app. 1/3 of bald eagles...hmm.

clynn - adorable kitties to be!..I forgot the sex of them?..one of each?
Your article on Ryan is paywalled for me.

We were predicted to have an inch of the S word here today....as I look at radar the main part of the system seems to be north and may fizzle?
Wouldn't bother me a bit.

Lisa prayers for a successful move!

Clynn, darling kittens!  So tiny!  Will they be spayed and neutered when you get them or do you have to do it?

Lori, sad for the eagle!

Baz, do not know how you have managed without a refrigerator for so long!   Your dinners are an inspiration however!  Healthy and good!  I have to get back to that kjind of food!   Was bad as I stopped at kfc a few days ago!


Phyl, glad you got your hair washed!  Always feels good!

Eagles  I have a December surprize coming.

Lisa how's the move---going along?  How are Stewie & Ziva handling all this?
I almost suggested boarding them for the day or two.

Karen a clean head always feels great---one feels good all over for it. I see hematologist this Wednesday, gonna ask for a stronger cortizone cream for the

Hi Beakers….

Oh my word….we are tired!  I am not going to lie…the drive is long to their new place.  I missed the exit to take Route 70 home, and ended going back towards Bradley’s apartment.  Tsk, go ahead and laugh….I am notorious for taking the wrong exits! 😂

The house is very interesting.  When you walk in, you are on the main level.  If you turn to the right, you take 5 steps down to another level and you are in another living room with a fireplace and a bedroom off to the side.  That will be Kelly’s moms side of the house.  She has a door to the brick patio that she can enter and exit her side of the house.  From that living room, you go left and take 5 steps down and you are in the basement.  Big finished basement.  Back on the main floor, you take 5 steps up and you are on the 2nd floor of the house and there are 3 bedrooms up there, a full bath in the hallway, and of course their master bath.  The workshop is very nice, but that other shed on the right side of the property looks worn and Bradley said, he may take that down.  I see lots of yard work in his future. 

Sydney got 4 vaccines yesterday and was not feeling too good today.  She was running a low grade fever.  She fell asleep in my arms. 

Have a good night, everyone!

Update on Andria & Alex and the eggs...

Via Kisatchie National Forest Eagle Cam Facebook : E-3:  Cody has confirmed that Andria is gone.  Our hearts are broken.  Fly high and free sweet Andria.  😭💔🦅

Beakers...Dad Alex doing his best to incubate these precious eggs... meanwhile a female stops by... I am praying that this female will be like DM who was Mom Decorah's Angel when we lost Dad Decorah.  See clip below... the visitor is in the upper left hand corner in the other camera frame.  Below is a full explanation and footage of the Rangers assisting today via LadyHawk

KNF Kisatchie E-3 Nest Cam ~ USFS Rangers Retrieve Andria's Body 💔 Alex Incubates Eggs 12.9.23
https://youtu.be/WCTElZ928kw?feature=shared via LADYHAWK
USFS personnel retrieved Andria's body at 07:37 this morning. The eggs are unlikely to hatch due to inadequate incubation by Alex, who cannot do it alone. Andria died on impact and she is being taken to a disease center for bald eagles. Her body will be frozen and taken by FEDEX on Monday to the research center. A necropsy will be will performed and testing to determine the cause of her illness & seizures. It normally takes 4-6 weeks to get the results from the toxicology back but Cody will let us know the results when they come back.

Cody reported that Alex did look over the nest edge while they were retrieving her body, so he is aware that something happened to her but may not know to what extent. A female eagle came to the nest tree while Alex was incubating the eggs this morning. Alex has been incubating most of the day and defending his nest. At some point he will have to leave the eggs to hunt and take care of himself. It is impossible for an eagle to fully incubate eggs alone without a partner to share the responsibilities.

This is such a sad time for everyone who has been watching this nest. My deepest condolences on the loss of Andria, her two potential eaglets and for Alex who has lost his partner. My sincere appreciation for the rangers and crew for their deep concern for all the eagles well being & safety ❤🙏 Thank you for watching!Ladyhawk.

Below are a couple pics of Andria and her babies to honor her memory...

Karen - Nice warm temp in your area!  Good that Piper is used to the Christmas decorations and probably likes them now! ;D

Tsk - I will put my bet on you staying well & being fine. :)

Phyl - Hope you feel a lil better each day.  Oh no, hopefully no tornado! :o

LisaG - What a day you had!  Hope you get a well deserved good night's sleep.  That was a lot of vaccines - understandable that Sydney was sleepy.

Lori - Thank you for the update on Andria.  That is what I was afraid of hearing.  I am so sorry for her and what this may mean for her eggs.

Beakers have a good night.

Sorry for just jumping in after months away.  I do check the Beak room from time to time, but I lack the time and the energy to keep up with such a prolific group.  I have continued to monitor the local peregrine cams, but I have significantly cut back the number of hours I devote to it.  I am not getting any younger.  My eyes tire very quickly.  I would rather reduce my involvement than try to keep up and miss something important and let my group down.  It was a nightmare year this year with all the wild fires and smoke, heat and drought.  We had takeovers and challenges,  sometimes as many as four at most of the sites.  Two of our oldest sites had no eggs at all. At one, no birds returned and no new ones appeared, at the other, our 17 year old female came late and took up with a very young male.  They remained the resident pair until migration, but did not produce offspring this year.  At 2 other sites, we lost 4 chicks in all, 2 to disease and 2 to weather.  And at the other three nests, we lost track of 2 fledglings and rescued 3 or 4 others.  I think we only witnessed 4 possibly successful fledges.   My numbers could be off, it was very busy and mind-numbing. 

As for my avatar, I got it up with the help of Eagle Duck.  I lost it when his family closed down his site.  I tried a couple of times to get it back up using a google url, but lost it again  often after just a few days.  I decided it wasn’t worth the irritation.  I seem to spend a way to much time keeping up with my digital world these days.  What with non stop updates and upgrades I am forever in a fog looking for parts of programs that move around and come and go, work and don’t work.   I swear this is an intentional move by techies that use it to ensure their continued employment.

And with this, I end my whiny post.  If I don’t have anything a little more upbeat to offer, i will stay quiet and just read.

Emy, I can help you with your avatar.  I did keep some of the avatars from Eagle Ducks web site http://www.thehomedi.de/ after he passed because I knew the site would probably be taken down.  What is the avatar of?  Do you have a photo of it or can you describe it?  You can PM me or send me an email at [email protected] and I will help you.  Hopefully I have your old avatar if not, you can easily add a new one of your own via pinterest or I can do it for you.  Let me know... hugs and love Lori

Getting ready for day two, and it's going to be a nasty rainy day today. 

karen - Stewie and Ziva are acting like it is any other day.  We were back and forth out the door so many times, and neither one tried to get out. 

tsk & karen - Yes, Kelly's mom is moving in with them.  What I gather from Bradley, now that she has two grandbabies Sydney and Scarlett, she wants to be near them a lil more.  He said, she will still keep her place in Florida, so she can take turns staying at each place. 

Lori - So very sad about Andria.  :'(

E4E - I was sound asleep after I made my post last night.   ;D

Lisa, I bet you are tired...and it's raining. Darn! The house sounds like Erin's, enter main level, down a few steps to family room, up a few steps to the bedrooms. From the family room down more steps to the 'basement' level, another finished room and storage room. Stewie and Ziva are good kitties! I wish their new house was closer to you though...I am sure you do too. I love the Christmas cup of white chocolate with raspberries in it!

Lani, you and Lisa both fell asleep quickly after your busy days! Probably as soon as your head hit the pillow...maybe even before! So glad to hear your event was a success! Hope you are well rested this morning!

Lori, so sad....I was hoping with Andria it would be like the time Mom North had that episode from what they thought was some kind of poison...she was able to overcome it.

Phyl, hope you and Jim stayed safe and sound....

tsk, and I hope you are feeling well!

Waiting for the Christmas Parade in Albion!

The Desert of Ghost Ships
Only  30 years ago, this was home to our planet’s 4th largest inland water  mass; an ancient sea so vast, even Alexander the Great wrote of his  struggles to cross it; where fishing commerce boomed and holidaymakers  once flocked to its seaside spa town.
Now, for the first time in  600 years, the Aral Sea is (almost) bone dry, and the fleet of giant,  rusted ships left in its wake have become some of the only proof of the  past.
The Aral Sea is (or was) so large, it spreads over two  Eurasian countries that now straddle its dusty remains: Uzbekistan and  Kazakhstan

One of the brightest stars in the sky will 'blink out' on Dec. 12. Here's how to watch.

Betelgeuse, the most famous red supergiant star and one of the sky's brightest, will disappear for up to 12 seconds during an ultra-rare occultation by asteroid 319 Leona.

Who Invented Candy Canes?
One theory claims the iconic holiday candy was created in Germany to appease fidgety choirboys.

His story and where he lives:

We got the NW side of the storms (left upper comma portion) up here...started as light rain most of the day yesterday, then light snow, then huge drop in temps = Ice skating rink streets
No pre salting/treating, idiots......tons of accidents last night. People said they couldn't stop with 100 feet before a stop sign. Currently 24 and may not rise above freezing.

Was going to go grocery shopping this morning. Nope, holding off till tomorrow.

Hello, Beakers.  I'm glad to hear you are all safe at last report, and hope you all stay safe through the rest of the severe storms today, tonight, and into tomorrow.

Karen, I have been watching the tornado reports in your part of the world, and hope you don't have any come near you. Stay safe.

Lisa, the threat of severe weather later today and tonight includes the area for you and for Bradley. I hope everyone there has their ears to weather alerts, with the volume up for notificaitons in whatever area you are at the time. I hope you all stay safe and don't have severe weather. I hope you get back home before the 40-60 mph winds get there. Take care.

Lori, that's such sad news of Andria, the Bald Eagle, may she rest in peace. And sad, as well, for her mate, Alex, and their unhatched, recently-laid egglets.  Alex is doing all he can to care for his nest and egglets, but I know he will have to leave them to hunt and find food for his own survival. I hope he will stay healthy and safe, and I hope he will find a new, healthy mate for next season, and meantime, I hope he will stay safe.

Prayers for the 6 people who died from the tornadoes in Tennessee - 3 of them around the greater Nashville area, and 3 dead in Clarksville (in 3 different homes that were completely demolished down to their foundations), and for the many injured, and also for their loved ones, and for all who experienced those awful storms and tornadoes, and the loss of so many homes, schools, businesses, and other property, and who will be without electricity, some for many days, and with cold weather returning to those areas after the warm-weather storms went through. Last I heard, there were 27 tornadoes reported in the Tennessee tornado outbreak, and Kentucky was also hit by some.

My TN Mtns Sis and her home is safe - they were lucky that the tornadoes and severe weather that came in their direction did not hit where they live - but it was close.

It's all good so far where I live - just rain so far.  But Zippo and I are alert to potential severe weather, and will be throughout the rest of today and overnight, when some of the newer lines of weather will form and come through. It's a small craft warning here now, but that will change over to a gale later today as the winds change direction and the cold front gets closer - expecting 35-40 mph winds tonight, but fingers crossed, not tornadoes, though we are in the area of that possibility.


Everyone stay safe and take care.

P.S. Lani, I'm glad you had a successful fundraiser, and you got some good rest.  I saw the last 8 minutes of the KU game yesderday. It was close part of the game, but I saw the Jayhawks prevailed with a nice lead, as expected. I plan to watch the Kansas City Chiefs later today. I hope they have a better game this week, than they had last week.

Afternoon Beakers  :)

It's been a rainy day, but it looks like the worse is coming tonight.  Thankful to be home before it gets bad.

clynn - I am tired, and we are both sore.  Yes, Erin's house sounds similar to Bradley's.  I love that muffin tin decoration. 

Phyl - Thanks, and thank you for the 365, info on Betelgeuse, and who invented Candy Canes.

kb - Aww, Jonathan.  I hope he lives many more years.

tsk - Thanks for kind words on the Christmassy pics.  Yea, how about that, a built in babysitter. 

Lori - I will have a decorative donut, and a cuppa...thank you!

karen - Thanks  :)

Lani - Bradley's friend was supposed to help today, but he calls him this morning, and says he had the Covid this past week.  I told Bradley, tell him to stay away!

baz - I am home, and getting ready to get me a snack and get in bed. 

Have a good night, everyone!

LORI   That pup with his bedside pal is a sweetie.  Bringing us Krispy Kremes again  LOL

LANI   Oh no - another nun  LOLOL   Lots of work goes into those projects - I can empathize.

BAZI   Thanks for the update - I've been away all day.  You take care.

I'm beat - at church from 10:30 to 4.  Long day.

Og - Shocking TN tornados - so sad for all those folks who are affected.

Lani - Wow! The event was a huge success!!  I bet the brunch itself was delicious!!  Yaaay! $4k is awesome!!!!

LisaG - That was a long/tiring day of helping the 'kids' with their move!  That is good news that Kelly's Mom will keep her home in FL and just go back & forth when she wants.  I know you loved seeing Sydney, but I bet it is nice to see Ziva too.  Are you able to pet her?    Get some much needed rest today!

Clynn - Like the pictures taken in Albion!    Awe, sad about the Aral sea.  Hard to believe the transformation happened in only 30 years. :o :o

Phyl - Definitely prayers for all those who were tragically affected by the tornadoes in TN.   We drove from Knoxville to Memphis last April.  Hard to imagine a tornado in that lovely State.  My cousin & her husband (who live in TN) were safe from the tornado.   I'm glad you & Jim are safe.

Kb - My neighbors have a Tortoise that looks very much like the one in your picture!!

Tsk - Like your graphic this morning!

Lori - Thank you for all the pictures/images/treats!! :)

Karen - Stormy day for you - but glad you mention that Piper is not bothered too much.

Bazi - Glad that your sis and her home in TN was safe too!!!

Tig - Hope you & Camper are having a nice day.

 thank you and praises to Him for sure. In 22 yrs we've not been touched.



Although one year--- maybe our 3th here (?)---Jim still flying as Chief Pilot/Dept Head  for Doane Pet Care Inc in Breantwood and gone to Dallas for the week. It was a Friday and about 4pm I was getting  dinner as Jim'd be home too late to go out as we usually did on Friday's. The cats (Mike/Maggie) napping in the guest room as always. I was doing my cooking  'thing' and thought I heard
a strange out of this world noise. I stopped  knowing there was a tornado on the prowl and suspecting a funnel to touch down...suddenly a deadly silence--- and that pumpkin-colored sky was developing from the distant horizon. And yes I went on the deck and looked out to the distance...then the gurling...I looked up and straight  into the eye directly above our house and neighbors. No one else was home on the block. Just me the cats and God.  I was awestruck for a moment, that moment seemed to last forever---it didn't as I darted back in, secured the door set everything off the stove cut the power ot the burner, shoved the pans insed the oven.  The coat closet was just underneath the staris I threw the coats on hanger, vaccum cleaner, , attachments wellies and all into the livingroom, grabbed rope from the garage to secure the  closet door from inside, ran upstairs, grabbed my purse /cell phone and already packed travel bag, back down ---opened the pet carriers and ran back up for Mike as he's the quietest, secured him, back up for Maggie, back down with her and secured her quickly placed both in the back of the 
closet with purse travel bag and a bottle of water. Then opend a couple of  windows. Locked  us all inside and secured the door with the rope as best I could.
Left a message for Jim on his office machine. Waited. It was silent save for Maggie's catawalling--it was incessent.   My watch kept me current with the time.  A couple of hours later my phone rang---Jim. "Where are you? " I told him everything. I could hear him smile. He' said 'We've landed  at Signature (Nashville's FBO). (The Nash Inter'l Airport is just a few miles from our house).  Honey, the all clear has sounded. It's safe. I'll be home after Rodney, Rod and I secure  the plaine.."
I had untied the door and used the little key to unlock from inside.  Let the cats out of their carriers and began putting everything back.  Turned the TV on and tuned to WSMV for the latest...LaVerne had been hit--- But, no fatalities!   ;)    The  almost touch down that could have been us, lifted and went to LaVerne instead.  :'(

Finally got the Christmas tree decorated and all of the rest of the decor around the house!  I am so late this year, with Erin being gone the weekend after Thanksgiving and Ed/Kelsey being gone to Springfield the next weekend! I didn't put everything out this year since we will be gone starting the 22nd.  Christmas with Erin's this coming weekend!

Phyl, I know that feeling, might as well get up, take a nap later! My elf name is Jolly Kissy Face! The Norths look beautiful in Amy's Blog! Wow, your harrowing story of the approaching tornado! I had a similar incident back in the 70's! We lived in an old wood frame farm house on top of a hill, we gathered the cat and some blankets and went to an outbuilding off the barn that was made of stone blocks. We sat in there (with rats, I am sure) until the wind died down. Wonderful good morning pic!

Lani, sorry to hear you have a cold! Dang! I am sure that didn't help you get rested up yesterday! You are finding the cutest church critters!

tig, enjoyed the video of the woodpecker and the hawk!

karen, still getting rain?

Lori, great critter pics! And always a good snack! Hope your Mom, Dad and Grandma are all doing well, and you and Destini!

baz, glad to hear your Mountain sis is safe! I have a cousin in Cookeville, TN, no news so I assume they are fine.

E4E, how is everyone doing in your world? Well, I hope! Mom and Sis okay? Glad they are close enough that you can help...

Lisa, I bet you and Jeff were just worn out when the move was done! Are you also going to help when the furniture gets delivered?

Albanus Kiswili  · The town of Whittier, Alaska, is known for having nearly the entire population living in a single apartment building.
The building is called Begich Towers, a 14-story apartment complex that houses about 90% of the town's residents (total: 272). This has earned Whittier the nickname of a "town under one roof".
The building, originally constructed as an army barracks, now serves as a cozy condominium featuring a post office, general store, police station, laundromat, health clinic, mayor's office, and a heated indoor pool.
Whittier, Alaska is accessible only by air or through a single-lane tunnel that stretches over two miles through neighboring Maynard Mountain. The town's weather conditions can be harsh during winter, making the Begich Towers a convenient and practical living solution for the residents.
In addition to the Begich Towers, there is a second condo building in the town where the remaining residents live. The town's school and gym are located in a separate structure but are connected to the Begich Towers by a tunnel, allowing for easy access during the winter months.

Phyl  Good for you - tension seems to have faded away after yesterday's test.  Body says "can I take a break now."  Make today an easier day, you've earned it.

I don't know why but my inner clock told me OK you've had enough - woke up wide awake about 3.  Did some reading - now checking in with posts - and there you are greeting me.   ;D

Enjoy!  It is better today.

What is you?....oh I see, under your hat you is an otter, LOL.

Morning all,

Yes, tig, it was one of the ugliest FB games I've ever watched. But, hey, we are now on our 3rd QB, lost our star WR after his first drive once again, lost many other players to injury. Hmm, I may be wrong, but I remember the Raiders in the past being shall we say, aggressive?

And, because tis the season: A feel good vid:

KAREN   Would be nice for you to have a sun shiny day today.  :)

TIG   Wow  amazing footage of that hairy hiding from the Coopers hawk  :o

LANI   I'm barely hanging in there my self - Living on Tylenol and Aleve  LOL  Can't wait til this week is over - Too much going on.

CLYNN   Glad you cut back on decorations.  Timing not quite right this year.   Saw the "town under one roof" story the other day.  Everyone knows everyone - Hope there's a doctor among them in that health clinic.  LOL  Fascinating story.
I'll coose the "perfect place"  Nice contrast.

KB   Otter way too cute  LOL   Perfect "affection" video.  so true .    Have fond memories today of your wedding day so many years ago.   :-* :-*

Girls party today at noon.   See you all later. size]

Thank you tsk - for remembering....Every and I mean every anniversary but for 2019 (the year he was diagnosed and undergoing lots of treatment) we went to a new and different restaurant. The last one we went to was my favorite: Colita...I still have the little ducky we got to take home with us.
https://www.colitampls.com/menu
It's only 10 blocks away from us and they have an entire wall behind the bar that is greenery.

Oh, something like fog/ice/snow?...falling from the sky right now. I need to take Ollie this morning for his toe nail clipping. Unexpected and this after a very slippery day yesterday evening. Hmm.

tsk - I hope you got some rest too, after your long day at church.  Enjoy your girls party!

E4E - Ziva is very lovable, and so is Stewie.  He is kinda like Bandit tho...pet me till a snip at you, then I have had enough petting.  ;D

tig - Yay for you and kb's team. 

Phyl - I could not wait to get in my bed.  I was asleep before 6pm.  ;D  Thanks for the RRP post.  The elf names...LOL

karen - LOL, I had a large Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Latte to keep that blood sugar high.  Sydney was in better spirits yesterday, then on Saturday.  I made sure to be gentle with her lil legs, cause that is where she got the shots.

Lani - Oh no, sorry that you caught a cold.  I hope you feel better soon!  In order to get out of the apartment before the lease was up, they had to pay two months worth of rent.  Thankfully, their first house note is not due till Feb 1st., but they have to out of the apartment by Jan 31. 

clynn - They have movers that are coming to move the heavy furniture.  I don't know if you all have the name of this company, but I think its rather funny....College Hunks Hauling Junk.  I hope you all have a good Christmas this weekend with Erin & munchkins!

Puff - Morning  :)

((kb)) - Cute lil otter.  Thinking of you on your anniversary!

Good Morning!   Beautiful sunny crisp day at 47 degrees!  Brrrr!   Lolol!  Will have an hour at 57 at 3 pm.   Happy to turn the sprinkler system off  as all is very well watered!  Petunias look great sitting out in the bed in front, waiting for the Christmas stuff to be put away so they can return to the door!   One geranium is revived and on the patio!  Think I will have to check out a few coats today!  Haven't  had one on for well over a year!
Lani and tsk, feel better!  Chicken soup and liquids!   Love that soup anytime!
Did not get to Farmer Browns last week so will have to go today or tomorrow! 
South Georgia Pecan also has them and they may ship!
Thanks for the  storm reports BL.
Lisa, glad Sydney was better!

some bounce

The pool was a warm 83 degrees this a.m. I swallowed my pride (?) and finally used my 3 yr. old rollator to navigate our sidewalk and the Y icy parking lot and the Y pool deck. I also selected well-traveled streets instead of the neighborhood "ice rinks". Home safe. Reading.

KB - you are too kind in your description of the Raiders.  >:(  A tackle can be "legal" but still dirty...

Karen, thanks, you take care and enjoy your day!

Tig  :)

BL, thanks for info

Tsk, zicam, aleve and Christmas music to get me through the days.... Aly and Dewey are coming home Saturday or Sunday! It all depends if she is able to leave Friday.  ;D  ;D

Lisa, glad to read Sydney is better. Sweet baby..... Thanks, I've been using zicam since yesterday.... College Hunks Hauling Junk is a great moving co. name!  ;D ... glad to hear they have awhile to move out and things in order.

Phyl, thanks for Amy's blog.... Have a restful day... Tinsel Merry Berry McSnowflake

Good morning Jolly Kissy Face! you've been busy, please be to take care too.  :-* ... very interesting story of Whittier, Alaska. I had to google and check it out. It has a beautiful port, cruise ships stop, vacation rentals available. It would be a cozy place to call home. Everyone knows their neighbor. I hope they allow pets.

TIG   Very smart idea with the rollator!!!

LANI   Cup of tea with an orange slice - Think I will try that when I collapse after the party today  LOLOL   How great to see Aly this coming weekend.  I expect you will celebrate your Xmas then or will she have the whole week?.

Tig - LOL, yes I should have been far less democratic regarding the Raiders! You did a much better job.

The parking lot at the vet was a disaster!..with ice I mean, and this is in Edina, my neighboring city and very rich. The parking lot to my vet also houses a large new condominium where they go for over a million bucks each, but the maintenance folks can't keep the parking lot safe?

Whole Foods parking lot also in Edina, lot was dry and safe, whew.

I also take only roads I know are ice free....sorry Ollie man one more day before my residential neighborhood hills are safe. No salt whatsoever. The environmentalists' lobby must have a deal going with the auto body shops? tee hee. Not that unlikely.

Lisa, that same College Hunks Moving Junk company is here, too. LOL, funny name.  I always wondered if they really are hunks - so you can report on that when they move Bradley and Kelly's things.  ;) :D

KB, glad you're staying safe in the slippery stuff.  I wondered if the type of ice you mentioned you had today could've been either rime ice or hoar frost:

(https://raptorresource.org/raptorresource/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2813.0;attach=592582;image)




TSK and Lani, I hope you both can spend some extra time in your jammies, sipping hot tea and chicken soup and the like, till you're powered back up and feeling good again.  :-* :-*

Clynn, aka, Kissy Face   ;D ;D ;D, you are crazy busy!  Pace yourself, and maybe do some pre-emptive jammies time with hot liquids slurping.  ;) :D

Tig, smart move re. the rollator!

Karen, whatever coat you decide to wear, it will be like new since you haven't worn one in a long time!  ;) :D  I had to bundle up more than usual for my walk today - it was 50 degrees, and felt nice in the sun, but the north wind made it "feel like (wind chill)" 44 degrees. Our high today was supposed to make it up to 51 - much cooler than the 73 degrees here yesterday.  Will go down to 32 tonight.  Roller coaster weather for most of us right now, one way or another, I think.  :D


My KC Chiefs lost last night, to the Bills.  ::)  Mahomes lost it after the game, on the sidelines - never seen him do that before!!  I went for a walk on Saturday, but I had to cut it short because my knee started screaming in sharp pain shortly after I headed out the door. I walked a bit to see if whatever it was would get itself right, but it did not!  So I had to turn around back home and get off my knee.  So it was only a 15-minute, very painful, walk on Saturday.  No walk on Sunday!!  I had to rest my knee, and due to very rainy weather.  My knee is way better today, so I walked 44 minutes today.  Yay!  :)  My knee only grumbled a little on the single downhill slope today, and my ankle complained on the uphill slope. LOL.  They will both get over it.  ;) ;D  I walked down "Bluebird Lane" today - and one pretty male Bluebird was perched on the very top of the newly-installed street lamp there, surveying his area, but he did not provide an escort for me this time.  ;)  So pretty!   :) :-* :-*



Waving to All the Beakers!!  Stay warm, and have a good night, All. Peace. SED.

My sis lives only 5-10 min away from me. :)     Just read of your close encounter with a tornado a few years ago  :o  You sure knew what to do!!  Quite a scary event. :o ::)      Jim is going in to work even earlier?!  Nice that you get his breakfast set up. :)    Elf name:  Kringle Puddin' Cake  ;D

Tig - Amazing vid of woodpecker 'freezing' in place!  Take care out there  :)

Clynn - You and family had such a busy schedule that it is no surprise you are not setting out as many decorations as you normally would!  My Mom & sis are hangin' in there. I took my Mom to a doctor appt this morning.      Interesting reading of Albanus Kiswili - the town of whittier, Alaska - never heard of anything like that.  Thanks for the picture and story!

Puff - I see you and Phyl both woke up early today!! I find it harder to get out of bed now that the mornings are dark and the house is cool!

Kb - That really is a 'feel good' vid!!!  ;D ;D    This was your wedding day so many years ago - thinking of you and sending hugs.  Thank you Tsk for mentioning!

Tsk - Have fun at the 'Girls' party today!  Hope you feel better.

LisaG - Glad that Sydney is in better spirits from getting all those vaccines!  She is bouncing back quickly!   So is Stewie the one that is a little bit like Bandit? 

Lani - Hope you feel better soon.  You've been so busy!! 'Tis the season for colds . . . .   Glad Aly & Dewey are coming home this weekend!! That is something fun to look forward to!! ;D

CLynn yesterday I told Jim to put the Christmas tree decorations and all back up on the closet shelf in guest room. Not gonna fuss with it this year. I have the
nativity and it has a string of petite timer lights  laced about/inbetween figureines for night. I happy.   ;) :)
 Whittier, Alaska, is a very interesting town as it's land locked. Great concept they have there.  If I were to live in AK---Whittier would be the place.  ;)

I do luv your little Emmett Otter with the snow cap.   :-*  I just love your Twitter (X) video. They're not just animals.  ;)   Ollieman and his 'nail clipping' thanks for the reminder---Maggie needs her font claws cut. We keep the back long as cats use them for self -defense when they roll onto their backs when fighting, etc

BL tks for the weather links.

Lisa glad to hear Miss Sydney is doing better.    And,  we have Collage Hunks here too. I've used them .

Tsk hope the party goes well; good idea to nap before hand

Karen the coats will seem like new and wearing  for the 'first time'.  Be safe on your outting to Farmer Brown's. I love grocery shopping I find it relaxing and being a 'stay at home'  it's a chance to visit w/people.  I know no strangers.

Tig perfect water temp for a nice swim

Hi Lani  will be so nice for you to have Aly/Dewey for a visit.   So glad you're using the 'Zicam' like I said earlier--we swear by it.

Emy fantastic avatar Lori crafted for you. Like several others when Eagle Duck passed and his website taken down Lori helped a lot of us.
Pretty cool video---and they all line right back up again.  Enjoyed it.

Well, Whittier is not actually land locked.  They wouldn't have rooms for the daily surge of ship passengers.   ::)

They have either a railroad or bus service that gets included in your cruise price to take you "north to Alaska".

BAZI   Girls party (7 of us) - 4 hours long ended and the house was so quiet - Ahhhhh.  ;) ;)  Of course tons of laughter and fun.  You sure are in a roller coaster of weather.  50 would be a warm day for us now  LOL   Your body sure does tell you when your attempts at good health need a break.  Seems the weather plays a part.  " they will get over it"  LOL

Karen, I hope you have a good visit with your pulmonologist. Aww, Piper's looking festive!   :) :-*  But Piper's not a clothes horse. LOL.  You asked about Baby Bro's age - he turned 2 yrs. old this past August.

Phyl, your Nativity with the little lights sounds pretty. Glad you felt like getting out and doing some grocery shopping.

TSK, you had a good long party with "the girls."  It sounds like it was fun, and like it was good to get some quiet time after, too.  :)  I haven't noticed that any of my knee issues are weather related. When I had such a bad sharp pain with my knee on Saturday, it was mostly sunny and 73 degrees.  Also, the very sharp, severe knee pain I had that day was something totally different from the regular wonky knee pain I have chronically every day.  Today it was a cooler 50 degrees here (44 degrees with the wind chill) when I walked, and I didn't have that sharp knee pain like I had Saturday, just some minor "'grumbling" on the downhill slope, as usual, LOL. It's harder on my knee walking downhill (vs uphill, or level).

E4E, I hope all goes well when you take your mom to her doctor appt.

Puff, you were an early bird this morning!  :D

Lori, you did a great job with Emy's avatar!  :)  How are you feeling these days? Has Destini given you her Wish List yet?  ;)

Hi Eburg and OG and BL!


Good night... again.  ;) :)

Tsk, Aly will be here 12 days or so.... Glad your party was a success, and now you can enjoy your cup of tea/orange slice... and you are now warm and snug, ready for a good night's sleep.

Emy, Fantastic video.

Hi Eburg :)

{{{Baz}}} Never seen Mahomes react like that too.  ??? ... sorry about your knee, glad your knee was better today.... Bluebird surveying his area and keeping an eye on your safe way home.  :-* .... Littlest great niece looks adorable in her beautiful dress and Lil Bro although absolutely adorable looks a bit hesitate about the little old guy in the middle.  ;D

Kringle Pudding Cake,  your cousin in TN okay?  I hope all goes well with your mom's appt....I haven't had a cold in a long time....   You take care of yourself too.

SED Lisa  :)

Phyl, Mike's been using Zicam for years. So, he always puts the box out if I even sneeze. LOL! Cute Santa Pull-apart bread.... love Brandenberg's classic video of the lone wolf marking it's territory. Just like the coyotes do here.... praying the rest of your Christmas season is a peaceful one for you, Jim and Maggie.

SED Winter Kissy Face, awww Piper in her Christmas collar.  :-*

Good night!

...Happy Tuesday !  

Currently 30F   High  48F sunny,  Low 30F.


See my hematologist this Wednesday . And same afternoon another followup with PCP  ::)
Do have an appt with EENT surgeon  in Nashville for Wednesday 20th. Taking along  a copy of the ER physician's report
since neither he or I will have access to imaging's CT scans. Then he can tell me what no one has.
I love our nativity it's beautiful ---found it at a Cracker Barrel two decades ago. I'll have to post a daytime snap  too, so the detail can be seen.
Our bluebirds are wintering here as usual---occasionally I spy them using the nesting boxes like they do holes in a tree this time of year.



((Karen)) hoping you have a good report from pulmonologist; Piper is a sweet looking little dog----if the Christmas collar has bells, try removing them
she might like the collar better.

Bazi  Wish I could get out and grocery shop---since his accident 9-29-23, Jim has taken over my Kia and I'm at home w/out wheels---I can't go anywhere etc.    Says he hates  driving my car tho.  ::)

Tsk glad your party was a success. Sounds like it was loads of fun.

Lani   I've noticed Amy's Blog and Brandenberg's 365 are all repeats  which is about par for the course this time of year though.

Puff  :)

Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; Linda and Ian, My  Alter prayer list
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

HI EVERYONE

KAREN    Awww  sweet Piper not truly enjoying his collar.   :( ;)   Good luck at lung doc today.  Thanks for Packer score - I had to hit the hay before it ended.  Boy, you are really chilly this AM.  We're at 33.

BAZI   Downhill will get you every time.  Back in the 80's, I think, my Vancouver, Wa friend and I who did all the traveling together - did a ton of hiking in Banff and Jasper.  We had 2 days left in Jasper when the only way I could walk was with a hyperextended left knee - Well that put a damper on things.  ::)  I diagnosed my self with a patellar tendonitis  - inflammation of the tendon going over the knee cap.  That quad muscle gets double duty on downhill walking.....If you go up  - you gotta come down  LOLOL   It eventually went away on its own.
"Needles"  So clever  ;D ;D

LANI    What a wonderful visit from Aly and Dewey over the holidays  :)  Bet you can't wait  ;)

PHYL   Love the cute, knitted red cup cozy  :)  I would love to see a pic of your creche.  Amazing what you find at Cracker Barrell.  :o   Good luck with all the appts coming up.

tsk, sounds like you had a good time with your girlfriends yesterday! I hope to be able to see my high school girlfriends when we go home for Christmas. If not this time, we will surely have a good visit in April when I spend my April week with Mom!

karen, hope you find a new old coat in your closet!

Phyl, hmmm, interesting info on the Holiday tv specials! And the memories on Amy's Blog! 365, lone wolf in the snow, I remember that one... Cute Christmas cup with a sweater! 26 here, high only 37 today but with very light wind, so won't be too bad. That darn wind makes a big difference! Love that you found your nativity at Cracker Barrel, they have so many wonderful things in their store! I got Bella a couple of Holiday outfits from there when she was little, and that's where I usually get my WoodWick candles. They always have Redwood, my very favorite!

Lani, I am so happy to hear that Aly will be home for 12 days! You will have a wonderful family Christmas! I bet Sadie will be happy to see Dewey!

baz, love the picture of Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro with Santa! I am surprised, neither of my kids liked Santa at the age of 2, they were actually scared of him! Love the Needles piece!

Lori, you did a wonderful job with Emy's avatar! Hope you pop in with more goodies today!

Oh I love this!..Smart ducky...Tiger says where did it go?...where. The background music is perfect.

Morning all:

Speaking of patellas!..the bone cap in front of your knee ya know, LOL.
In the 70's my then boyfriend and I drove from LA to San Fran to hike Mount Tamalpais. Made it to the beautiful top but noticed it was getting late, hence dark soon. So, we started running DOWN hill...Oops, my patella ended up behind my knee and couldn't walk. Mind you we are still near the top and no cell phones at the time. Boyfriend ran down to the Ranger Station and luckily found them. Meanwhile, I sat on the now dark path imagining all sorts of creatures coming to get me amongst the huge trees. To distract myself I started scooching myself on the ground down the path. They brought a hand held cot thingy and Walked me out while I screamed every step sure that everyone in San Fran heard me down below.
Some sort of General Hospital peeps injected me with something and flipped the patella back around where it was supposed to be. Still took many months of pt and recovery. I have a troublesome Baker's cyst in my left knee but for the life of me, I can't remember which knee my patella re-located!

Have Jack my master plumber coming today to fix a leak/drip in my large cement laundry tub. He says after looking at pics it will take longer as it has galvanized pipes to the faucet. He'll replace the entire faucet and valves. With the price of my city's water it Must be fixed. The fix cost will pay for itself over time.

Will walk Ollie today with coat on as it's probably going to be the coldest day in the next 10 but ice is gone mostly off the roads. Hang in there Ollie.

kb - Very cool pic of the Canadian Pacific Holiday train.

BL - LOL, glad you like your TV!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

KB, what a horrible and icky thing - kneecap dislocation... ugh!  Just thinking about it gives me the willies.

TSK, ugh on your knee hyperextending anytime, but what horrible timing for that to happen to you while you still had 2 days of hiking left on a great trip with your friend in Banff and Jasper!!!  My "bad" knee will hyperextend anytime, anyplace, for any reason, and especially for no reason at all...  ::) :P  like when just walking around in my kitchen making coffee, which it did a few of weeks ago. Dang knees can be so troublesome, but they're a good thing to have anyway!!  ;) ;D ;D  How is Tim doing? Is he still wearing the monitor, or has that info been collected now so he can take it off. I don't remember how long he was scheduled to wear it.  ((Hugs to you, Tim, and both of your families.))  You all have been dealing with a lot recently!!  :-*   PSST... Wild Heart Raccoon?  LOL!  I could've sworn that is their funny resident Lemur.  I'm rubbing my reading glasses...  ;) ;) ;) :D

Lani, great news for Aly and Dewey coming for the Christmas holidays!  I guess Sadie may be asking, "Does Dewey really have to come, too??"  ;) ;D :-* :-*  ((Hugs to you and Mike))  I hope your cold gets better fast! And I hope Mike gets his insurance approval quickly so he can get that shot for his back, and get more pain relief soon!

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

I'm getting ready to bundle up and head out for a walk.

I can't remember if this has been posted in The Beak before...  ;) :D

BAZI   Don't ever trust me with naming animals or birds.  Forgot about the resident lemur - so don't clean your reading glasses  LOLOL   I may not need to clarify but I voluntarily held my knee in full/hyper extension so I wouldn't be in so much pain.  I had to take my quads out of play as much as possible.  Tim wears the monitor for 3 weeks - I think til the 19th.   Complimentary bread  LOLOLOL

That's why I posted to you last night, saying, "Glad you felt like getting out and doing some grocery shopping."  Maybe I misunderstood what you meant... oh well... LOL!

Okay Kid-O.
Hope this helps.  ;)
We did go grocery shopping that day---Jim drove and I was passenger (he's off Sat/Sun)
 But, during the week he takes my Kia to work at Publix---Mon/Fri. I'm left home w/o wheels. This has been going on for 2.5 months.  :(

Thank you all for good wishes on tomorrow's appt. Right back to back commencing 2:15pm and ending at 4pm

{{{Karen}}} There still are ENTs and  EENTs. Either can do surgery. I believe Optomertrists (sp) are concerned with the eyeballs themselves.
I have put round ball orniments in glass bowls and such at Christmas for decoration myself. It's elegant and reminiscent of "Home Alone' movie.

{{{Tsk[}}} adore the reindeer this AM

CLynn when we were doing Sunday breakfoo thee, while Jim was in line I mosied over to the clothes and always found  a unique top/sweater. I have a cute
lavendar crop 3/4 sleeve mother of pearl button heavy guage knit sweater I bought for $50 15 yrs ago---still looks great and I wear it every winter. Remind me I'll take  snap and post sometime.
Wild Heart Ranch - Keebler, When it fits just right. :-* :-* :-*
Luv the Peace sym w/ Santa hat

{{KB}} what a hoot! Tiger gets pranked by ducky. Luv it.  All the best with your knees and all!   My patellas give me grief too. I must see Dr Byrd!
awesome snap of  Canadian Pacific  Holiday train over the Mississippi in Minneapolis last night.

Oh Lani Hagred hauling the Christmas tree for the Great Hall HPSS.

Eagles  cute reindeer tonight; agree w/U Piper has a cute face

Jim's preheating the oven for MC pot pies with garden salad. You should see my nose Dermabond is all but gone and whatls left of that is right over the laceration
and makes it look 'crusty'. Golly Gee is Dr. Erter gonna be sur-prized when he reads the NP report after she interviews me tomorrow---broken nose--ER.  LOL

TSK, oh, I understand now about your knee hyperextension. I totally didn't pick up on that before. I didn't realize how long Tim will wear the monitor. Glad it will be off by Christmas.

Phyl, yep I remembered about your Kia being used by Jim and you not having a car to go places while he uses it for work and such.  I was only referring to being glad you felt like going grocery shopping on Sunday, since you had that accident and injury earlier in the week. Didn't need help understanding that you were with Jim for that, but thanks anyway.  ;)  Hope your appt goes well with the ENT.

Clynn, that will be fun if you get to catch up with some of your high school friends during your Christmas time.

Lisa, ruh-roh, mix-up on the package! I hope they can get the right item to you in time.



I walked 38 minutes today.  I discovered I walk faster when it's colder!   ;D

Phyl, we have a number of ophthalmologists in stand alone practices with differing strengths snd there are retinologists , etc and surgical specialists eye specialists  other than. Cataracts, that I was surprised.   Good luck to you and hopefully they will say it is healing perfectly and no surgery needed as everything is perfect!

Lisa!  Did you at least order a ski jacket so they got in the right department!  Oh my!  Hopefully the jacket is still in. Stock!

Do no see the pulmonologist for another year!   Yea!

Lisag - Hope it didn't take too long to get the order straightened out.  That's a pretty big mistake; you ordered a coat and got ski pants. ::)  Usually the worst thing is in trying to talk to a person - they are usually switching you over to another extension/dept.

Bazi - Cute comic!  You probably walk faster when it is cold so that you can get back into a warm house!! ;D ;D

Tsk - Thinking of Tim and hoping all goes okay for him.

Phyl - Enjoy your dinner pies from MC!

Currently 33F   High  49F  mostly sunny,  Low 30 F  clear skies.

Some confusion on docs- today is hematologist  blood work CBC to check platelet count for ITP.  Then right after I see my PCP for another followup on  nasal laceration.

Hi Puff

BL/Emy thanks for the tunes, like guitar

Lori lovely birthday greeting for Oma the cake  :o

Tig bad time of year for the 'porch pirates', The moment a package is delivered I'm out the garage and hauling them in there until Jim gets home.

Lisa that's a shame about the order, hopefully it will get fixed in time for Christmas giving--- On my end... Got a message from Macy's on Jim's slacks which are shipping .But they are sending two pair of the same color---I didn't order that--just one of each color. They did get his sweaters correct.


Finally found a new feeding system for Maggie as she needed a new set up since the old one had been around from  Mike's kittenhood. I hope she likes this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB9QMZFH/ref=pe_386300_440135490_TE_simp_item_image?th=1 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB9QMZFH/ref=pe_386300_440135490_TE_simp_item_image?th=1)
'Cuz it isn't going back. 
Finally I'm finished. Now , it all has to get here .  Family members are getting 'gift cards'. Jim has so many that they draw names. His kids always draw for us which is fine as we're not in Joplin. We always get some one different.  :)  Dan and Susan will get 'gift cards'  as well.


Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; Linda and Ian, My  Alter prayer list

Phyl, 29 here, 43 for the high today. You have a busy schedule today, hoping all goes well! I like the new bowls for Maggie. Harley eats out of stainless steel dishes, I set the food dish on top of a large tuna can... Interesting info on the historical events at Christmas. I never knew that the confederacy all received pardons from the government!  I am waiting on a couple more orders to arrive as well, I need them by Saturday! We are having our Christmas with Erin's on Sunday.

BL/Emy/tig/oldguy ditto what Phyl said! Good music! Listening as I post...

Lori, love the beautiful female cardinal and luscious cake for Oma (Sawyer?). A Mod?

Lani, when is it that Aly is coming home (I can't remember!) I bet everything will be perfect when she arrives, and of course, Shannon will be there for Christmas as well! Does Mike still have some cozy burgers in the freezer?

Lisa, hope you get Jeff's present in time! A few years back I had ordered Ed a jacket from Land's End. It didn't come, and didn't come and they didn't reply to my first email inquiry, so I sent another about not getting the item and no correspondence. The jacket was here in 2 days, and when I went to pay the credit card there was a credit for the entire amount ($132)! Land's End doesn't want any bad reviews I guess! The kids get their furniture today, right?

tsk, love your good morning picture! My Christmas tree has red apples on it, this morning I found 2 in the hallway and one under the table... Harley, aka Turdbutt likes to lay on the tree skirt, acting oh so innocent. Ha!

baz, yes, walk faster when it's cold! Cute cartoon, the snowman taking an eye exam!

Hope this works, Phyl

My Hallmark treasure from 2021 wasn't really an ornament.  It is a musical animated thrill.  My Ton would hit the button whenever he walked by it.  Again it was presented to me as I checked out of Hallmark with my own purchases.  (The store is evil!)  The clerk asked my name and presented me a paper bag "from Rita". 

Rita and I had met for the first and only time that day.  We had a fun and interesting talk of at least 1/2 an hour, no it had to be longer than that.  Talked of Disney, families, love of the season and all its traditions, etc.  We hit on so many things.  Gave her my business card which had all my contact info.  She never contacted me in any way.  All I knew was she had a great attitude and pleasant personality.  Noone at the store had any info they could share.  Every time I shop I have to rue the fact that such a lovely person is still a secret Santa for me.  BTW, my deceased sister's name is Rita,  she had passed away spring of that year.  I truly believe Rita was an angel sent to me.

Let me describe my toy:  music box plays throughout the antics:  Santa goes up and down in the chimney, reindeer goes up the side of the roof, there's a rabbit that hops back and forth the front of the house, the door opens and closes displaying a girl and boy gingerbread who say Merry Christmas, across the to of the doors there is a cat and dog chasing each other around and back thru the top of the house.  All the time, even without the button/activator, the gingerbread house is ornately flashing its strings of colored lights while the "voice" sends Christmas greetings.  A bit more involved than an ornament?

If the below doesn't work I'll try something else later.  I should be getting ready for a visit from a friend.  I'll check things out later.

Pool was nice and warm 84 degrees with sunshine streaming. Ahhh...

PUFF ... how nice of Rita to give such a nice gift. Similar story... My Mom was in a nursing home for less than a week before she passed. Camper and I lived a block away so we visited each day. On one afternoon when we wheel-chaired her outside for some fresh air, a visiting poodle puppy said hello to Mom. Her name was Indy. Our Indigo (Indy) had passed a few months earlier. ! And, Mom passed a few days later on her wedding anniversary. I'm convinced Indy and my Dad came to welcome her home.  :'(

Well, just finished my oatmeal, peanut butter and green tea.

"White's always right."  Tks Mom  ;)

CLynn Maggie is eating out of SS as well. It's the wrought iron s croll holder that's loose. I 've had to Jimmy-rig them to sit higher with a tilt--to about 6".
This set is a bit shy of that. But should still give her a good height. I hear ya on packgage arrivals---Christmas is only 12 days away.  Gosh! Time is getting away from me, again.  :'(   Enjoyed 'Kinder than Man'  What a hoot! 'Key's under the mat'

Hi Emy

Tig nice warm pool again--soothe those joints. Luv P,B and J

Lani LOL tortoise in Santa hat. And yet cute.  Glad everyone will be together for Christmas. Maggie's new dishes, right now I've had to rig them to sit higher to about 6" with a make-shift tilt. Hopefully this will serve as well since  it'sa bit shy of that. But should still give her a good height.

Morning all!

I've been busy and still have some catching up to do.

Jack the plumber came this morning as yesterday his job lasted the entire day...
Oh well good to have a new laundry tub faucet not leaking/dripping.

Anyway, my State Farm Insurance Agent sent us homeowner/policy holders an invitation to join Ting. They are offering a free sensor and 3 years of free monitoring. Hmm, in my old house seems like a good idea. It's for elctrical arcing, etc. A detector meant to prevent electrical house fires. Given I've replaced almost all my faucets inside and out on my now 66 year old house and more, it seems like it might be a great idea to monitor all of my electrical networking. Anyone else know about this sensor?

Tig - lovely memory of Mom and your thoughts!.

CLYNN   The stress of package arrival... ???   Key is under the mat  LOLOL

PUFF   Beautiful story about "Rita". Your description was perfect.  Glad the link worked.  Have a good visit with your friend.

LISA  Hope you can listen to a good book in the round trip 3 1/2 hr+ car ride today  :o

TIG   Great story about Indy - spooky..

LANI   turtle  ;D

KB   Funny you should mention plumber.  After dinner last night the garbage disposal died - water pouring under sink on to floor - after Tim noticed disposal backing up.  sigh  Plumber here at 8:45 AM  our time was scheduled for 10 to 12 AM  LOL  Good thing Tim was up and ready - I was not here.

kb - Beautiful hawk.  I have not heard of that sensor.  I have State Farm, and may inquire.  My house is 51 years old.

Phyl - Love the TV Guide cover from the 80's.  Thanks for the 365.  Thanks for the links on Christmas.

Lani - I saw Sydney for a few minutes, and she was whisked off to the room to feed.  But, not before she looked at me and cried when I talked to her.  I told her...I am not a bad person, stop crying when I come over to visit.   :-[

tig - That sounds like a nice healthy breakfast. 

Puff - Very nice story about Rita. 

clynn - Got a email this morning saying coat was to be arriving FedEx, and just checked, it is delayed in WV!   ::)  I am crossing my fingers I get the refund back for the first one I ordered.

tsk - Beautiful morning pic!

Clynn, I kove the Kinder Than Man! The key IS under the door mat!  Do you mind grabbing that for me, please?   ;) ;D  You mentioned Lori's post of a red cardinal and treat for Oma, but I can't find that post from Lori - where did she post it? Someone else mentioned it, also, but I can't find it. Help?!?

Lani, I love the Turtlw Santa!  :D  Your house is going to be a busy place - the fun kind of busy! Yay!  :) Did I get it backwards about Sadie and Dewey?  I was thinking Sadie didn't like having Dewey around, but maybe it's the other way around? Seems you had to keep them in separate rooms before to keep the peace? I hope Mike gets his injection before that trip before Christmas... fingers crossed.

Karen, yay! See that doc in a year!  :D

Lisa, hope the ENT appt goes well - hope your ears aren't bothering you again. "Run to Bradley's" - ? the new or old place?  That trip would be longer than a "run to" for me, LOL!  Safe travels.  :)  Oh, I see your new post - you've already been there!  Aww, not enough Sydney time! Next visit will be more Sydney time!  :-*

Tig, as Lani mentioned, I don't know John Gary either, but that song is nice, and his voice is so smoooth.

E4E, LOL, you might have plugged in to my unconscious mind re. walking faster when it's colder!  ;) ;D ;D

TSK, love that pic in your morning post!  Hope you and Tim are getting some time to relax today, and letting Lulu take turns warming your laps.  :)  Oh, I just saw your post about the disposal.  :o   Sheese... it's always something!  ::)  Okay, it's definitely time to for that relaxing/cat-in-lap time!


Later, gators!  :)

The video embedded is incredible.
this literally makes me cry: Both fisherman and the dog were saved. But ice fishing in Nowthen, MN when ice isn't safe, ugg.
A Sheriffs deputy went out without enough rope but they found extra rope to get them as they were hypothermic in advance of the fireman yet to get there.
You can here the woman say: "I don't like this" repeatedly.

Oh I didn't realize it was the old place today.

Quote from: Puff on December 13, 2023, 08:11:16 AM

Hope this works, Phyl

My Hallmark treasure from 2021 wasn't really an ornament.  It is a musical animated thrill.  My Ton would hit the button whenever he walked by it.  Again it was presented to me as I checked out of Hallmark with my own purchases.  (The store is evil!)  The clerk asked my name and presented me a paper bag "from Rita". 

Rita and I had met for the first and only time that day.  We had a fun and interesting talk of at least 1/2 an hour, no it had to be longer than that.  Talked of Disney, families, love of the season and all its traditions, etc.  We hit on so many things.  Gave her my business card which had all my contact info.  She never contacted me in any way.  All I knew was she had a great attitude and pleasant personality.  Noone at the store had any info they could share.  Every time I shop I have to rue the fact that such a lovely person is still a secret Santa for me.  BTW, my deceased sister's name is Rita,  she had passed away spring of that year.  I truly believe Rita was an angel sent to me.

Let me describe my toy:  music box plays throughout the antics:  Santa goes up and down in the chimney, reindeer goes up the side of the roof, there's a rabbit that hops back and forth the front of the house, the door opens and closes displaying a girl and boy gingerbread who say Merry Christmas, across the to of the doors there is a cat and dog chasing each other around and back thru the top of the house.  All the time, even without the button/activator, the gingerbread house is ornately flashing its strings of colored lights while the "voice" sends Christmas greetings.  A bit more involved than an ornament?

If the below doesn't work I'll try something else later.  I should be getting ready for a visit from a friend.  I'll check things out later.

Hi there!
Got an excellent report from hematologist on CBC! Platelets are a 240k pml ! A solid normal!!!
Remission is holding very well. Almost 5 yrs now.
 This is so  wonderful after the rocky, edge of the seat
testings, surgery - spleenectomy; blood transfusions, steriod meds, weekly venipunctures and CBCs and on and on and on  for the previous decade.


Lots of festive greetings from everyone today.  Your Christmas bunny,   too . Bazi. :)  ;)

KB glad your utility faucet is repaired  and no more dripping' Very nice Cooper's Hawk. Not familiar with that sensor but agree be a good idea for anyone; tks for the FNC video, so relieved man and dog were saved. Such a brave officer, too.

Tig wonderful memory of your mom---sorry I missed it earlier

Tsk oh yuck! The disposal---so glad it's fixed.

Lisa perhaps next time you visit Sydney it will be better---she could have been both tired and hungry ( as Tsk said)


Woke up this AM to a brand new Google Chrome! That's was a surprize.  :o

Post by: oldguy on December 13, 2023, 09:10:52 PM

KB - I can not find any detailed 3rd party info on the Ting Sensor.  However the user agreement is one of the most detailed and long UAs that I have ever read.
https://www.tingfire.com/ting-terms-of-service/

Some info I did find...
Ting does not forward your data to the insurance company, but does submit general reports to them.
The service charges an annual subscription fee - that is paid by the insurance company for the specified time, after which you can take over the payments or return the equipment.
Ting prefers to use one of their service companies to respond to fault reports, but you can request one of your choice and Ting will contact them to verify them on qualifications, license and insurance.
Ting, from their description, is using AFCI technology - to sense if electricity is leaking from the electric system.

AFCI breakers are a relative new feature in homes - they were required by code starting in 1999.  They are not required in any home built before that date, but if any major electrical work is done, it is encouraged to be added. 

Ting is not a circuit breaker, it is using the technology to catch a problem early and report it to you for remediation, before an AFCI breaker will trip.  How well the system works is an unknown  - reviews are mixed.

Hope this is helpful for those interested.

Puff, lovely memory about Rita.

Phyl, stunning views on the nature video.... good report for you, sleep well tonight.

Kb, beautiful Hawk ... I've never heard of Ting.... great rescue of two fisherman and dog.

Baz, love your Christmas bunny.... Our daughter Shannon's dog Kona doesn't like other dogs. When she comes to visit on New Year Eve or the 4th of July, she brings her dog, we keep Kona downstairs. And there's a gate to keep the dogs separated. Sadie and Dewey are best buddies.... Oma's birthday is on the 19th, everyday is a good day to celebrate a birthday. I love mine.  ;D

Lisa, Little Sydney was probably just tired and hungry, and it's not you.  :-* , and she probably senses the changes in family routine... I use Audible for my book listening on long rides or working around the house.

SED Eagles   :-*

Oldguy, thanks for info

Karen, I know how you feel about filling out forms online. ugh! sleep well.

Good night!

Oldguy thanks for the low-down on 'Ting' . Never have had our insurer mention this to it's policyholders.

KarenI don't mind online forms. But, I prefer paper forms ---I know my bank is all about 'e' this and 'e' that.  ::)  You're with Farmers Ins Group?  I use to be an agent for them in 1980s. 
I saw my PCP yesterday for the laceration on my nose as Dermabond has completely peeled off. This was on par. She said it looked great and just cover it in the shower.
Nothing needed otherwise.

As for the EENT,  my appointment is for next Wednesday,  Dec. 20th in the mid -afternoon.  He has two offices on in Brentwood and the other on 20th Ave., North in
Nashville. I'll see him at his Nashville practice.
 Yesterday pm  I just recieved some forms  in the mail to complete and bring with me . This MD is also a surgeon. I m hoping somehow he will give me
the green light  to  live normally with my nose .  LOL

Awe....Morning all!

oldguy - thank you for all the research on the Ting sensor and State Farm's involvement. I myself opened State Farm's main website and there were a lot of drop down question and answers under the Ting section. For me, it's almost like it's Too Good to be True. I wish there were more expert reviews somewhere. I am waiting for a week or more to watch and see if anyone in my city's fb group asks a question about it as there are quite a few State Farm homeowners and even my own agent posts on it.
State Farm did state no false positives with this sensor and a 3 year free subscription? What's to lose I ask myself but will wait and watch for more info.


This baby owl was found 4 days after they cut and put up their Christmas tree by a carpet cleaner in their house when they went away...Geesh, the article states the guy released the BABY owl in a nearby forest area. Wish he'd instead taken it back to the Christmas Tree Farm or a rehab facility. My first thought was how can that baby owl survive on it's own

OLDGUY   Thanks for doing the research and keeping us safe  :)

KAREN   Not familiar with dog care but don't you get heart worm med from vet?

LANI   Enjoyed the basket of pups last night  ;)

LISA    Great AM gingerbread/cocoa cup.  :D   You got a new cat condo ?

Phyl, love reading about the old days...malls and tv dinners! Malls are dying, back to strip malls all over the place. Love seeing all those big old cars in the parking lot! The roads and parking spots were so narrow back then and the cars were like boats.  :o :o  Hooray for your great hematologist report, and your nose is doing fine! Loved watching Mr. North catching and eating his catch! The sounds in the video are wonderful! Great morning pic!

Lisa, you have been so busy! I think Sydney's tears were because she didn't get to be held by Grandma Lisa! And all this activity is scaring her! I bet after things are settled in you will get a big smile from her! Love your cocoa with the Gingerbread Man!

Lani, I remember that Kona is not very sociable, but you have the issue solved! I am so glad Sadie and Dewey will have a good bit of time together! Does Shannon stay the night on Christmas Eve, or does she drive from the valley on Christmas Day? We will leave for Mom's on the 22nd and return on the 27th.

E4E, it is a good thing to have good neighbors! The ladies across the street are our good neighbors, they take care of my cat (s) when we go to Mom's. I often take lasagna over to them when Kelsey makes it, they love it!

baz, love that sweet bunny in the wool coat!

kb, love the German Shepherd with her little one!

Good reminder Phyl. Southdale in Edina MN, only 1/4 or less miles away from where I live now was the First fully enclosed, climate controlled mall in the country built in 1956
I worked there at Bachman's Floral a retail outlet of their much larger garden/agricultural facilities.
The door I walked in to get to work is just to the right of the right most section of then Daytons.
Started there at 16 and worked on weekends during the school year for a few years.

At a younger age Southdale was THE place to go hang out. A semi indoor zoo, birds in cages, grocery store, vendors in the middle and tons of shopping with the four corners comprised of Pennys, Donaldsons, Daytons and one other I forgot, the biggies if I remember correctly.

It's currently a shell of it's former self :(

Royal Albatross 💗 Welcome Our Royalcam Couple LGK & LGL For the 2023-2024 Season 💗 12.13.23

Welcome back for the new 2023-2024 season for our Royalcam couple LGK & LGL!! ♥
This year we have our stars at Top Flat and an extra bonus couple of WYL & BOK right next to them at Top Flat Track in view! Double the fun again!! Here is the new Meet the Royal family page with updated information https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native...

From Sharyn Broni " Currently, on view are LGK (male, left nest at Top Flat, on for 3 days) and BOK (female, right nest at Top Flat Track, on nest for 1 day). The grass has not been cut between Top Flat and Top Flat Track to give the less experienced pair some privacy. WYL and BOK have incubated an egg previously but have never raised a chick. Minimizing stress for them with some privacy from their neighbours is helpful for younger pairs. We will still see changeovers and the parent stretching etc. The grass will die down as the season progresses also. "

Enjoy some coverage and closeups of LGK and a glimpse at BOK to the right. Also LGK gets two visits today - the first one is from a no color banded albie (non breeder) who is very affectionate and preens LGK at 06:46. We get to see the RC egg at 02:36 &10:46 and the next visitor is LWK at 12:44. LWK is bereaved this season so hopefully he will find a new mate. LWK is the son of OGK and YRK and Dad of Plateau chick from Tiaki's season 2021. Thank you for watching!

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!

Clynn, Shannon never leaves her 13 year old dog alone at night, unless she gets a sitter when she leaves on a trip. She'll have Christmas Day dinner with us... Love the awesome eagle nest... Woodstock Reunion! LOL!!!

Tsk, Have a lovely day with your family and safe travels  :-*

Kb, Sweet mama shepherd and pup..... oh geez! I can't read the owl story, and I agree with you.  :'(

{{{Lisa}}}, I'm sure she's feeling unsettled right now. Many strange things are happening, babies sense things. Are you helping with sitting duties while they are moving?

Phyl, Thanks for RRP blog, fun video of Mr North doing nestorations with one large branch.  ;D I thought he had it perfect three or four times.... sweet oystercatchers... very interesting Birdseye vision of who invented TV dinners! I always thought it was Swanson.  ;D ... continued prayers for good news from your doctors.

kb - Aww, I wish they would have taken the owl to a rehab place, too.

tsk - Yea, the kitties got a new cat condo for Christmas.  They first day neither one would get on it, second day both are trying to get in the bed, so they can see out of the window.  It is hard to find a cat condo that is a certain height where the cats can see out of the living room window.  Enjoy your Christmas lunch with Bros and SIL's!

clynn - I am trying to be positive about the Sydney situation when I go see her, but it is getting to me a lil.  I keep thinking...am I that scary looking?  Is it my hair?  My glasses? WHAT?!?!?!
Wowza, that nest!

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update.  I am glad I can come here to the Beak, and you all know how to make a girl feel better.  I wasn't asked to help out with the sitting on moving day.  I am sure Kelly will be the one doing the sitting.  She wanted to make sure the movers did everything, so she didn't have to do anything.

Yes, Lisa - I now pay for one specifically delivered to Scott every year. Doing it the way I do a sponsor also gets a few dollars from each wreath that signs up the way I do. A mom, Justice for Jonathan, whom I indirectly know, son was murdered in our city on a fourth of July. He was just walking home from our street dance. I'm happy to help her as well. No suspect has ever been found and it's been now many years.

I so love this btw...

I wouldn't read too much into the Sydney thing LisaG.
There are a lot of changes occurring in her new little world right now and she's only xx months old.

The wee ones just get cranky at that age from one minute to the next.   :-*
Once the "dust settles" and a smooth daily routine is reestablished she'll be right as rain again.   8)

Today's low 45 - high 69

Karen - It can be a little frustrating sometimes in filling out Forms.  You & Piper have a nice day  :)

Puff - I remember you telling of this special moment at the store, but it is so nice to hear it again in more detail!!  What a special person you met that day.  It is a beautiful holiday decoration!!  I can tell that you will forever cherish meeting that nice lady that day.

Tig - What a powerful story of your Mom and the visiting poodle named Indy.  You are so right about the 'welcoming' - your story gave me chills.  I get chills when something really touches my heart.

Kb - Gorgeous pic yesterday of red shouldered hawk.

Tsk - Glad it worked out perfectly that Tim was home yesterday when the Plumber showed up early!

LisaG - Hope you get that refund in a timely manner and that you receive the jacket soon!   I read what you said to Lani; and I agree with Lani! :)

Phyl - So glad you got a good report on the healing of your nose!  You are taking good care. :)   Liked Oystercatchers in 365!   Love the flashbacks!! ;D

BL - Very good what you are saying to LisaG - so true.

Hi Baz, Clynn, Lori, Og  :)

Got to finish getting ready to have a friend arrive here in about 45 minutes!  We have been friends since 1985.  We used to work together.  We are both retired now.  We are going out to lunch at a nearby Olive Garden!

Beakers have a nice day  :)

Lani, looks like it's cool and rainy on the Royal cam!  I couldn't find the 'Meet the Royal Family' on that link, can you tell me how to get there? Love listening to the sounds on the cam...

E4E, I love getting together with old friends from work! Vesselina is from Bulgaria and we both started working at WF in 1996, we have been good friends for a long time. She calls me her American Mom! Her Mother sadly passed away this past April, she was a year younger than me. We will get together, Vessy and I and Tim, after the holidays! Tim was the manager whose place I took, he lives in Tucson AZ now. Both of them are still working at WF, I am the slacker.... ;D ;D

Lisa, a new condo for Bandit and Misty! Cats love looking out the window, the back of our couch is where Honey just sat and watched the squirrels and birds.... NO, you are NOT scary looking!

KB   that Ting thing is new to me, too.  I've been State Farm for years, too.  And, I read a lot every day of the news type stuff.  Will look into more, for sure.  Thanks, too, to OG.

E4E  I'm so glad the pic went thru; much easier to picture it if you have the picture. LOL

Thing too is I go to the Hallmark frequently.  Each time I have the chance I walk slowly up and down the aisles looking.  I have even been known to sit in the car and watch the people.  I hope that works.

CLYNN   Boy, that has to be a record size nest.  Amazing

KB   Like CLYNN said  - the days of the big malls are waning - hit hard by internet shopping..

LANI   A right pretty Royal nesting. :) :)   LOLOL  Snowman dog  - so funny  ;D

LISA   Don't overthink it - You are the perfect looking grandma!!!  :-* :-* :-*  Scary is dracula, santa claus, ogres, Tim in the morning.....Wonder how many wreaths on those trucks?

EAGLES   Isn't it fun to be retired and go to lunch with friends?  Enjoy and be grateful.  ;D ;D

KAREN   Yes quite a few malls have bit the dust here and in Milwaukee. 

Great time in Milwaukee today.  So much catching up on lives.  Agreed  - we all need to meet more often.

Hi Lisa    :(   
Maggie has a super douper Kitty Condo and it's set right in front of the window in here. She'll watch the birds and fall asleep.

KB  Awwwww Mom  shepherd and pup;   Owlet, even I know better--- the local fish and game department could be another source to contact--sometimes they will come out and retrieve the critter.  Otherwise they will instruct  the rescuer on what to do. I've called a time or two. 

Tsk we had TV dinners on Saturday night. They had the little dessert square of apple crisp like CLynn said.  Sure gave Mom a break-. Enjoyed your AM greeting. Glad y'all had a great time in Milwakee.


CLynn luv the Peace  images  you've been posting and the ballerina sheep, so cute;  Woodstock Reunion Concert  :o ; gosh that's some eagle nest  Whoa! There's a few tons of sticks and 'stuff'. Nice memories of old work friends.

KB enjoyed your post about Southdale shopping Mall. The aroma of florist shop. So sweet.

Lani tks for the Royal Albie update  --looks like maybe a damp day / enjoyd the sounds . Cute Snowman Pug


Puff alll the Hallmark, Gold Crown stores pulled out of the area (nashville metro incl) a decade or more ago. I miss Hallmark

Karen   :-* ;  ER says a followup by EENT to verify if healed or not---this takes from 2wk to 4 or more wks . I'm not guessing on my face and mess it up by blowing my nose  or flushing my sinsuses /using my Flonase before it's healed.  I paid too close attention to my recovery instructions  to 'blow' it now.  ;)

When I saw my PCP  this week, I was concerned about the laceration when the Dermabond was peeling aways some of the scab went with it.  That was different from what I m seeing a specialist for  this Wednesday.

Grandma Gets a Christmas Present With a Kitty Inside – But Wait, The Real Magic is Coming
In this heart-warming video, we see the joy of giving at its very best. Their beloved grandmother has a gentle and generous heart, but they realize she needs something special of her own to share it with.

HI EVERONE

PHYL   Like the old Brach's ad  ;D   We have a Hallmark store right in town and a bigger one about 3 miles away.  I love that store.  It is packed to the gills.  Two doors down next to the Starbucks they have a half price store open FRI SAT SUN      Awww  Grandma and her kitty  ;D

BL  Your grandparents sound like fun people to be with.  I'm so drawn to people who laugh easily.

OLDGUY  Never saw the Chaplin/Keaton piece before - watched the kid and pancakes too  LOL  I'll need to do some research on that Theremin - Have no idea how that works  :o  Istanbul cats -  :-* :-* :-*   Simon's Cat  :D    I skipped through some of that long video but will watch later - Claire is done?  :'(   Chocolate is salad  LOL  That's my kind of thinking  ;)

Good Morning Beakers!

Phyl, a very lovely story, loved Grandma's reaction when she realizes the gift is a cat! The Sanderlings in the 365, I could watch them scurry around all day! What a unique snowman! LOLOL! 37 now, 51 high for today. Nice December weather!

oldguy, good update on Grindavik, sad that they can't get back in their homes for Christmas. Such a neat little town! Love the cats in Istanbul!

Lani, Love the cross-eyed Siamese kitty, Beanie was cross-eyed! Not uncommon in Siamese. I agree with you, Lisa is a beautiful Grandma! Back in the 70's Mom used to get us the Hallmark year ornament every year, they are all the fragile balls. That was before the Keepsake ornaments, most all ornaments were balls!

BL, why am I not surprised that your grandparents were adventurers! You had to get it from somewhere!  ;D

kb, the VFW in my small hometown puts a wreath on every Veteran's grave in the county at Christmas since there is no military cemetery nearby.  So the cemetery's are sprinkled with wreaths   Very pretty in the snow... I think Christmas is when we miss them the most...

tsk, scary is Kelsey in the morning! We always ask her if she slept with her head in the pillowcase! You love Hallmark stores like I do! The day after Christmas is wonderful, good half price items!  Our Half Price Store closed, don't know why as it was always busy. Now a Flooring store, exciting...yawn.

E4E, I am five years older than you, I graduated in 1970! How did we survive with ho cell phones, computers, ipads? I think we did okay, we just got the words to songs wrong quite often!  The Hallmark Gold Crown Store I loved to shop at closed a couple of years ago, now it's a stupid Dollar Tree (they need to change their name to the 'Buck and a Quarter Store!).

This video is totally off any topic, but it was very interesting to watch! Hope you enjoy it!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7__r4FVj-EI

Doug Kelsey (my cousin in Bloomington, IL) - Someone has been busy this week…
Lynn and I were up at Comlara Park hiking this afternoon. A beaver had cut down this tree plus three smaller ones.

Phyl - Loved getting those hard candies in the net stocking for Christmas as a kid. Thanks for the 365, and awww, the present for Grandma!

E4E - Pretty Christmas pic last evening.   

Lani - Yes, the video does make you tear up, and seeing the trucks in person even more. 
Here are a few pics taken by the Sheriff's Office this morning, as they were having breakfast at the American Legion up by the bridge.  Thank you for the kind words.  :-*

E4E (and someone else mentioned too) I still work with my gold crown card.  About 2 years my evil store switched from a Amy's Hallmark to Little Green Apple but still mostly same Hallmark "stuff", plus more.  Again, I've dubbed it evil.

Looking up some background when the changes happened: It seems as though they were still prosperous, but new family generation wanted to expand and experiment.  Open house in November still got their share $ .   ::)

Unfortunately - Never ran into Rita.

Good Morning!

I'm blessed with a Christmas Present delivered by UPS from sister yesterday evening: A HUGE Box of meat from Omaha Steaks. I had to totally clean out my freezer this morning and take all the meat out of individual boxes (it's vacuum packed) to make room for it all. Chicken breasts, franks, hamburger patties, pork loin chops, meatballs, apple tarts, potatoe, and of course STEAKS! additional seasoning. Had to cut off the instructions of each box and save.
Sis and hubby have been sick so didn't want to stop on by before Christmas. They are fine but preparing for a trip to Rochester next week to take care of her son and DIL's dogs while they travel..

Gloomy today but I can't complain and won't.

Hi Karen, Puff ;D

Kb, what a wonderful Christmas gift from your sister!  ;D .... love the lion, and the photos.. so far no snow.  ;D

Eagles, when I put my ornaments up, I can remember the places and year I bought them, and why they spoke to me. Their like an old book I get to take out once a year and go through their pages. I don't rush putting them up, each one calls me to put them in a certain spot. And they're never in the same spot or order... I'll finish the tree today. That's why I keep my tree up till my birthday  :). I have Hallmark, homemade Swedish ornaments from Lindsborg, KS, German ornament from Wilson, KS, Lawrence, KS, Kansas City, MO, homemade bread ornaments from summer/fall festivals, hand blown glass ornaments from little hideaway Christmas shops in various states I've vacationed.

Lisa, wonderful pics of the trucks!!!  :-*

Phyl Sanderlings nature video.... awww sweet grandmother and Christmas Kitty....

Oldguy, glad to see the Grindavik residents able to return, though many houses will need to be demolished. Good luck to the residents and the city government as they go through recovery. Glad it's not me.  :-\. ... I'm thankful the Istanbul stray cats have someone who cares.... Hana and Maru.... God Bless Claire and her beautiful cat family, surely she'll return  :'( .... Chocolate is a salad  ;D ;D ;D.  thanks for links....

Clynn, I have the Peanuts Hallmark Christmas ornaments. I gave Shannon quite of few pieces, she loves Charlie Brown and his gang.... Mark and Sashimi, what a story! I pray Sashimi finds another treasure trove, here's to many more Sashimis!! ... busy beavers "TIMBER"  :o

I have this 70's Snoopy Christmas bell of the Peanuts Hallmark Christmas collection.

Oldguy, thanks!  :-*  I'm ALWAYS on it when it comes to the weather! They didn't call me "the Weather Girl" at WERK?!?k for nuttin'!   ;) ;D  My little spit of coastal southeastern NC is expecting 3-5 inches of rain on Sunday, with winds gusting up to 50 mph, and possibly 60 mph, expecting coastal flooding (the NWS has already issued the watch for that here) and erosion, and large breakers in the surf zone, a gale, of course, with this developing strong low pressure system/nor'easter preparing to barrel up the East Coast after crossing over the Florida peninsula from the Gulf region. My power company has already put resources in place to handle the expected power outages around here.  Zippo and I watch the weather several times a day, every day, and more when there's trouble brewing.  We iz ready!  ;) :D


Waving to All the Beakers! TGIF!  :D

Spent 2 hours and 45 min trying to get my wireless printer up and running - I'm down to the last step of getting the PC to talk to the printer - not doin' it.  Could have paid $99 dollars for Office Max to do it but wanted to try myself and will take a break and try tomorrow.

CLynn  I enjoyed the Sandelings this morning too. Kinda cute birdies.  Interesting video about Sashimi and her intelligence in puzzle/maze solving.
 I had always heard they are very intelligent critters. Sure hope she survives . A  busy beaver on  your cousin's walk.

Lisa I've seen 'Wreaths Across America' trucks here too.

KB Omah Steaks meats are so delish.  We used to buy that all the time in 'our past life'. LOL     Anyway,   you're gonna have some awesome meals.  ;)
Such a wonderful and thoughtful gift from your Sister and BIL.  Was it all packed in dry ice? They use to ship that way.
So glad you saw your Mr. Tower and mate.   

Lani LOL Bassett hounds.   Collecting collectables is such fun. Anyway, bet your tree is eye popping.

Puff - I hope somehow you get hooked up with Rita!  At least you know that you made it possible to keep in touch by giving her your business card!

Kb - What a nice gift from your sis!!  We have been seeing an Omaha Steaks commercial on tv and it sounds great.  We have gotten a box in the past, and their stuff is such high quality.  You will enjoy!! :)

Lani - Very special memories with all of our ornaments.  My MIL advised me to make little notes about when & where I got the ornament or if it was a gift from someone to write from whom and the date.  That was wise advise!!  I can only imagine how gorgeous your Christmas tree is!!     Does Aly arrive tomorrow or Sunday?! :)

Tsk - Hope you & Tim were able to find a new copier, printer, scanner today!

Lisa, I collected one Peanuts ornament every year....  Mike loves the Olive Garden's salad bar. He goes to the Olive Garden when he's out of town. How's the move going?

Tsk, the last ornaments I put on the tree are the girls's grade school handmade ornaments/cards. I even have an ornament Aly made out of an ice cream cone.  ;D
Oh geez, sorry you've got pc > printer problems. I pray you can get it resolve tomorrow.

Karen, Just checked on SWFL nest. Mom is snuggled over the eggs keeping them warm during this windy night. Take care during the coming storm, you and Piper, Baz, Zippo, SWFL, NEFL and all. 🙏🏼

Baz, You're a walking beast! 👍 Take care and praying the weather isn't bad.

SED Phyl, Oldguy

Eagles, great suggestion from your mom. ;D.. Aly leaves Oregon tomorrow and will be here Sunday late afternoon. Are you getting any moisture? We're finally getting a few clouds our way starting tomorrow. I've been deep watering a few pines, but we really need rain.

Good night!

That Nature 365  brought back to mind a trip into the Rockies while visiting my Aunt/Uncle for their 50th anniversary.  We took a ride, two cars, up into Rocky Mountain Natl Park, just passing by Estes. It was an hour's entertainment while we watched two bighorn rams in a tete tete.  Too, added thrill was the loud echoes of their horns/antlers hitting one another, filling the quiet canyon walls.  Also, it was in September so beginning of the rutting season.  Casually in the trees behind was the disputed herd of ewes, munching their breakfast. 

Just got a new adventure. . .After putting away Christmas I'm going to start going back thru the picture albums.  I'm guessing 1982.

kb - What a great gift from your sister. 

tsk - Those cookies would be too pretty to eat.  :D When I got my new HP printer, I could never get it to work with the wireless and gave up. 

karen - Hope the SWFL nest holds up with the storm, and the new female does OK.  I just looked at my weather app, on Monday it says 20 to 30mph winds, gusts up to 40.  And, I need to go across the bridge...ugh!

baz - You and Zippo be safe with the weather headed your way.  Good job on the walks!

Phyl - Cool on seeing the Wreaths Across America trucks in your area, too.  Thanks for the 365. 

Lani - The movers are supposed to be there early this morning.  I hope Aly has a safe trip.

Puff - Morning  :)

Busy, early day for you all, Lisa.  Hope it goes smooth.

I've had my current HP MFP about 3 years now (I'm sure that means it's no longer current).   ::)  I go wireless too.  It's in a side room, HP puter in kitchen.  After this time though I still don't have printing/feeding of envelopes conquered.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

LANI   Long drive for Aly.  Safe travels for her.  We are needing rain as well. Supposedly today and tomorrow  :-\

PHYL   Cute AM Xmas cats  :)  Stark scenery in 365  :o  Good cat pics - "FOOD"  ;D

PUFF   Good winter project- albums.  When we moved into this home - will be 16 years in Jan - I went through all albums from Kodak instamatic days in the 60s 70s up until present day and digital era and took out pics of the nieces, nephews, and sent them their pics.  Pitched everything else.  Now down to one bin of favorites.  :)

LISA  I have the option to connect with wire but have a couple other things to try today first.  Oh No the bridge on a windy day.  Weather might change for the better before then.  :-\

Good Morning Beakers! It's CATURDAY!

Lisa, oh no, does the bridge sway in high winds? I can imagine how scary it would be in one of those blinding rainstorms with high winds, no rain for you I hope!

Phyl, wow on those Alpine Ibexes (yes, I had to look them up!) I don't know how they don't tumble down the hill, but then they are a species of wild goat, notorious for climbing dangerous places with ease! That black cat, so clever with the FOOD! And the cat who does NOT want visitors...LOLOL! 40 here now, we are having 42 for the high and rain today. We need the rain for sure!

Lani, Aly will be on her way soon, I am praying for a safe trip for her and Dewey! I know you are so looking forward to having her home for a while! I looked and it's almost 1100 miles from Medford to Payson, a good 2-day drive!  I had several Hallmark Keepsake ornaments going, year after year, but I finally stopped. It was getting too expensive and I have so many more than could ever fit on the tree! I also have a few ornaments that Erin and Kelsey made in school, they are very special...

E4E, good idea, to write notes on gifted ornaments, because it gets harder and harder for us to remember! I try to remember to write things down in a notebook calendar I have, but often it gets away from me! I was never good with a Daytimer at work, and some couldn't function without it!

baz, sounds like you might have a rough day tomorrow! We are finally getting some rain today, but no high winds! You and Zippo know what to do!

Puff, I need to work on boxes of pictures and all of that too! I have a winter list of about a hundred things I want to do...  ;D

tsk, did you look for any youtube videos to show you how to get it hooked up?

Remember these toy from the 60's?

Good Morning!

Phyl - yes they delivered all the food in a temporary cooler with dry ice in it. I carefully disposed of the dry ice and recycled the cooler.

Rained all night long, to continue till around noon. My arborvitaes and shrubs surely appreciate it.

But, today is the day for all the Volunteers to lay wreaths at our Fort Snelling Cemetary. I'm not sure if they do that in the rain or wait till it ends...There are more than 290,000 gravesites here.

Will watch the Vikings game today at noon and make cheese, bacon, tomato sandwiches for brunch. Not opening up the meat in the freezer till tomorrow. Now it's hard to figure out which to make?, LOL

Printer is up and running after a couple different options I tried to get the job done.  I need to challenge my brain to figure things out.  I would have done Youtube if I needed to.  I was very happy.  ;)    Remember all those but never had a troll doll or Spirograph.

KB   Baby cheetah hair whitish on top  :)  Wonder what the photography circumstances were that they were so close.
Saturday game for the Vikings today.  ???   Bet they lay wreaths in the rain - so many to do.

LORI   Good Caturday pics today  ;D

Off to a Xmas brunch pot luck with Tim's sibs and cousin.

Good Caturday Morning Beakers

clarification on Claire's last video - When I first posted her videos here, it was under 3 different names.  She was creating content for a corporation originally and left them and started up her own channels.  It was a similar situation as Catman Chris (Cole and Marmelade) without the lawsuits.  So her video was referring to her start with the corporation and then leaving there to start up her own channel.  She is now doing hour long live streams as well as the videos, but the live streams are not subtitled.
Claire also has her own business that makes cat safe products like hand lotion.

clynn - The only time I have felt the bridge sway was when I was stopped on top for an accident.  So, it must have a lil give in it.  They do stop traffic from crossing when the wind gusts get too high.  I loved Spirograph. 

kb - Your cheese, bacon, and tomato sandwiches sound delicious!

Lori - Great winter Caturday pics!

Just read a community post wondering why Highway 494 was stopped both directions. Answer: Wreaths across America. Yeah!. Am guessing they waited till the rain ended, earlier than thought to end and now they are on full board!.. Highway 494 gets to the Cemetery.

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!  :D


I walked 54 minutes today. Yay. I won't be walking tomorrow - weather!  ;)

Lani, your Caturday Cat with the Candy Cane!  Yikes!!  :o  It makes Stephen King's Pet Sematary come to mind.  ;D ;D ;D  I didn't get a chance to watch, but I see the KU Jayhawks won their game against Indiana today - whew! a close one! My Tarheels play Kentucky at 5:30, eastern... in Atlanta... I hope my Heels will prevail! GO HEELS!!  :D

Clynn, glad you're getting some needed rain.  I loved roller skating when I was a kid. My skates looked exactly like the ones in your picture.  :)  Memory song...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTMTflcuug  :D


Karen, I hope you and Piper don't get any severe weather, and tell Piper, "No swimming in the backyard pool!"  ;) :D

Lisa, our bridges close when the wind gets above a certain point, too. If it's bad, I hope you won't press your luck just because you have a plan for tomorrow.   You can always put your back-up plan in place.  And have a back-up plan.  ;)  Sometimes, even important plans have to take a back seat, so I hope you don't apologize if your good judgment says it's safer to change your plans. You all take care, and I hope the weather won't turn out to be that bad for you. Fingers crossed!  :)

TSK, YAYAY! You got that persnickety printer working!  Congrats! Hope you cranked up the song, "I Am Woman!"  Sing it loud and proud!!  :D ;) :D

Remember the women who went to work in so-called "men's jobs" during WWII...  They showed 'em!!  I bet you looked like this while you were getting your printer to work...   ;D

Hi Puff glad the N365 brought back some nice memories.  Sorting thru photos is an adventure through time.

Tsk I have both  cable and wireless printing (for away from home)  ; Glad the brunch was nice and lots of food.

CLynn  roller skates and Trolls. I have two Trolls and several vintage Barbies, Ken, Midge and Allen and then I have the Repros . Vintage are 'ugly' in that the colors have turned and all.

KB  thanks loads for the Cheetah family. If memory serves, cheetahs are the only big cats that purr like house cats.   I've made BLTs w/ a slice of cheese u sually cheddar or American. Which did you use>

Lori tks for the Caturdays  ;)

Oldguy enjoyed the Caturday vids; always the Q-Kids; Walter has a 'Santa-like' laugh

Lani that looks like, maybe a Russian Blue gnawing on that candy cane.

Phyl - I don't actually add lettuce when I make bacon, cheese, and tomato sandwiches.
I use 2 pieces of large sharp cheddar cheese per sandwich, sliced tomato, and no name smoked/peppered bacon.
After frying the bacon on a griddle frying pan I throw the grease out, butter both sides of a thick white sandwich bread from whole foods and fill: cheese, many pieces of bacon, 2 slices of tomato, and second piece of sharp cheddar cheese and fry both sides, flipping after brown.

Yummy and filling too.

sunny today - low this morning 50 - high 74

I know I am checking in late today, but it is still 'Caturday'!!  I had some things to do this morning before I went and picked up my mom to drive her to her haircut appointment!    Then the afternoon was so nice over here, I went out in the back and got some yard work & pruning done.  We should get some showers next week.

Lani - I love your 70's Snoopy Christmas bell. :)   Safe travels for Aly and I know you can't wait till she arrives tomorrow!! ;D

BL, why am I not surprised that your grandparents were adventurers! You had to get it from somewhere!  ;D

Clynn one of my most treasured things is them and their home in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/82-N-Franklin-Tpke_Ho-Ho-Kus_NJ_07423_M69702-69309)

One very snowy X-Mas eve the power popped off with the huge fireplaces crackling.

There were 78 souls on board the house all accounted for at the time of the candle lighting.

Now U know this is when the good things are going to start happening.

The unofficially tallied total of revelers was 105 peeps in walls.

Now here's the Grandma bomb 1st light.

Huge snowball fight and sledding now and pancakes for all after she said.

In her lovely backyard all 38 grandchildren obliged.

There was ham, bacon, egg and cheese fried in lard slid onto a Wagner's freshly baked roll with grandchild coronary precision.

Best A #1 NJ breakfast sandwich bar none.

And then The Wagner's re-appeared with the "days leftover" sundry.

Phyl, thanks for the nature video. Two powerful magnificent boys having a slight disagreement... Love the FOOD cat!  ;D ... love the Christmas ornament tree hanging from the ceiling. Sounds like a lovely night in for you, Jim and Maggie.  :)

Lisa, I hope moving day went smoothly.... and safe driving tomorrow.

Clynn, Aly stopping in Beatty, NV for the night... I remember all 4 vintage items, no roller skating for me.

Kb, gorgeous mama Cheetah and beautiful cubs. Beautiful and gentle sounds she makes calling her cubs to her. Looks like she was laying down when the camera shuts off. Awesome moments for the photographer. I wonder how long it took for him or her to build trust with the family.... yummy sandwich!

Oldguy, thanks for more info on Claire. Yes, I saw her introducing her lotion.... fun Caturday posts... Thanks for Santi video...

Tsk, I hope you and Tim had a fun day with family.... YAY! You got the printer working!  ;D

Good night!

I was busy most of the day yesterday, got all my holiday goodies, ended the night with the pizzelles around 11:00. Have to get goodie boxes put together and ready to mail to my sisters tomorrow. And to the gals across the street who will be taking care of Harley while we are gone to Moms. Leaving Friday morning, back home 27th or 28th. Erin's will be here around 3 or 4:00 for chili and cheddar bay biscuits and to open presents! Still have some to wrap!

Lisa, I bet Bradley and family are glad to be moved in finally!  The kittens have a lot to explore! How was your trip across the bridge?

oldguy, thanks for the cat version of Stairway to Heaven, very well done! And thanks for all the good stuff earlier, still watching...  ;D

Lani, I bet you are excited to see Ali and Dewey walk through the door! Sadie's tail will be wagging non-stop! Looks like rain all around Christmas here and at Mom's as well! A Wet Christmas, not a White Christmas! Love those good night cats!

BL, wonderful memories of good times with grandparents...I can almost see and hear the scene you describe! 100+ keeping warm and having a good time. Wish the world could have more of that...  Pip looking good sitting on that bluff amidst all that beauty! And I am sure she only added to it!

karen, already hatch watch at SWFL? Where does time go!

E4E, love it when we get a nice day amongst the cold weather, good time to get a couple of yard chores done! I remember getting a transistor radio for Christmas, I think 7th or 8th grade, it was WOW! Music wherever you wanted it!  Much simpler times... my sister and I got one main present, which Dad often hid til the very end. I would wake Cathy up in the wee hours and we would sneak a look at the Christmas tree to see what Santa had left!

Phyl, I will put my chili on around noon, I like to let it simmer for a few hours. Then I will get the Cheddar Bay Biscuits ready to bake around 3:00. I don't have a written recipe for my chili, and I always use Gebhardt Chili Powder. It's what Mom always used and all three of us girls use it exclusively. No one carries it around here and we used to have Cathy (in TX) get it for us, but now I can get it on line! What can't you get online these days? Last year when I was at Mom's we went through some old boxes. We found this box, it was Becky's. She was never into Barbie, but she had a Ken and 3 Midge dolls. This is how we found it and this is just how I mailed it to her... Symbolic?  ;D

tsk, a rainy Christmas for a lot of us! I think we would be buried if it was snow instead of rain!

Phyl, great 365 on the Ibex's. They certainly look well fed!

baz, the tree fainted, glad the cat notified someone! My tree fainted a few years back, but no cat was anywhere to be seen!  Thanks for the roller skate song! I also remember my dad using the wheels off of some old skates and making us skateboards. We were happy campers!

Erin and Bella making cookies at Sydney's Mom's house yesterday.

Good  morning!   Still getting rain and the back yard is flooded!  Lots of places for Piper to swim but she said it is too chilly for that!   Supposed to rain until 10 and then stop and a hour around 3 but it will stop!  Flood watch in town.  Winds are to stop at 1,  have not noticed them.  Very dark and gloomy!  All in all, not as bad as was predicted and hopefully that will hold for the northeast!
Early this am, F23 was on the veranda drying off and Mighty M was incubating his precious eggs!  No apparent nest or tree damage there.  No sign of a pip either!
Cute parody Old Guy!
Pretty Christmas house Tsk!   Good news on the printer.   
Phyl, you mention a lot of collectibles from time to time!  Good you have them.  I can smell your chili here and may have a bowl!   Think maybe Clynn is making some today as well!
Lani, Hope Aly and Dewey had a good rest and good chance to stretch their legs before making the last half of the drive!
Bl, lovely picture with Pip almost hidden and great sounding time with Grandma and delicious food!  I want some of it!
Lisa, glad to hear, mission accomplished on the move!   What is your forecast for the bridge to orrow?
Baz, sorry about the heels!  Maybe next time!  Stay dry!

The tree farm is 20 minutes away. It took only 2 hours to get tree, put in stand, water and clean up. It is a smaller tree, so easier to transport and handle. I'll make minor adjustments to it's configuration in the morning after the branches relax. Her name is Susan Kare... a Canaan fir.

Bl, you could be right!  The rain was steady for a long time with very few gaps!   We did not have thunder or lightening!  Wind not bad either.  Hope all do as well!   Thanks!

Yup, they do. Bob, John, George... sometimes after celebrities. It is an inventory thing for them. A guy told Camper an older couple have come for years and always pick their tree by the name... no matter what it looks like!

I got the email as I'm part of their 'virtual guest' program for all the space missions and launches. I even have a NASA Passport ...yeah kinda funny when you talk about it.  ::)  There are over 4,000 participants from Tennessee alone  to date.  Finally gonna get my 'wish' and venture in to Space who knows who I might 'meet'. LOL
Any way ... I signed on, hypnened name and all.   I'm so excited.  Just 'over the moon' about it.  ;D

Message starts off...
Calling All Virtual Guests: Send Your Name to Jupiter’s Moon Europa

NASA’s Virtual Guest Program invites YOU to join the Message in a Bottle campaign and sign your name to a poem written by the U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón that will fly to Jupiter's ocean moon Europa. The poem connects the two water worlds—Earth and Europa, one of the most promising currently habitable places in our solar system.

Participant names will be etched on microchips mounted on NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft! Europa Clipper is set to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in October 2024, and by 2030, it will be in orbit around Jupiter. It will gather detailed measurements to determine if Europa has conditions suitable for life.

Lani, a very happy reunion for Sadie and Dewey! So glad to hear that Aly made it home for Christmas! Didn't know Mike has to be gone for a few days! At least he will be home in plenty of time for Christmas! Erin sent a cute video of the Siamese kittens, I wish I could post it! All 5 of them are having a ball playing with each other!

karen, is your back yard a lake? I can just see piper taking a look and turning around!

E4E, yes, we had a fun time opening presents with the kids!  I didn't get many pics, it was too hectic, as it usually is with young kids!  And Bella was sitting right next to me, I only got one good shot of her when she sat on the coffee table for a bit! I wish I had told Ed to take some pictures, she squealed when she opened her package of Squishmallows!

HI BEAKERS

KAREN   Rain is good. Storms are not.  ;)

TIG  So funny - naming trees.

LANI   We brought Lulu home in the first week of January and I had my puzzles going already.  She had so much to explore she didn't pay too much attention to it.  Today - she laid on the card table and watched me put pieces together. - Thankfully she did not help and the puzzle was small so she had room.  LOL  Glad to have Aly and Dewey safely home. Dewey smelling the pines - I believe it.

PHYL   Interesting NASA project for you  ;D

CLYNN  Those Cheddar Bay biscuits are to die for.   My greats will be opening Squishmallows this Xmas too  LOL
I'm always amazed at how many celebrities pass during the year.  Like the idea of renting a tree in a pot .

Morning all!

Lani - I love the story of Dewey "smelling" my second home is near!
Dogs are so frigging smart.

Clynn - Love the white decorated Christmas tree. I sometimes spend way too much time scrolling through multiple fb pages of pictures of Christmas trees decorated, some by professionals.
I haven't tried to haul my beautiful flocked artificial tree that rotates and is lit out of the garage since Scott passed. Instead I put up a 3 foot fiber optic one. One of these days? maybe.
BTW - looks like you might have needed a whole roll of Christmas paper to wrap that large present :)

Brr. it's only 16 above today...with a very strong North wind...scratching a walk with Ollie and a few outdoor projects...nope.

Funny thinking about hiking/walking in MN winters. At 50 years of age we limited our adventures to no colder than 11 above. 20 plus years for me now I limit them to close to 21 above...er um, 5 years warmer per decade!.LOL In another 20 years I'll have to move to Florida!...at age 91 or so.

Royal Albatross ~ LGL & BOK Have Front Row Seats To An Albie Party! Closeups of LGL 💕 12.17.23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5uSfd8GyXo

1,011 views  Dec 17, 2023
LGL (Lime Green Lime) is on her nest and her neighbor BOK (Blue Orange Black female) is on her nest when a party of non breeders fly in and decide to socialize and have a party! Looks like at least 6 maybe 7 on the ground/air as they come to meet one another with skycalls and bill taping. The two Mom's don't bother to get up - they remain on their eggs. The non breeders will stay for a few more weeks as they make their acquaintances and hopefully future partners.

On another note, the Royalcam chick of 2016  Moana has been banded! She is yellow A55. Moana is one of the non breeders that has returned this season to try and find a mate like Tumanako and some of the adults who are bereaved and looking to find love again. Looks like Top Flat is going to be full of action this season!

You may notice that the grass is high between LGL and BOK's nest. The DOC has decided to not trim the grass but to leave it natural allowing for some privacy for BOK & WYL as they attempt to hatch their first egg. Thank you for watching!

KB  Cats have something going for them as well.  When we used to take Lucy back and forth to Door County she had the option of being in her carrier or roaming about, ( we had her litter pan in the hatch which she could access) we would be about 2 miles from either place and she would come to the front seat and stand on her carrier or move to the back seat and look out the window and know we were almost "home".  Always surprised us.
We have horrible winds here today with wind chills in the teens.

LANI  And "why not", I say to Santa hats on cacti - Fit perfectly and bring a smile  :)   Loved how that sky got so dark over the albie party  ;D   Finally what the letters stand for in their names  :o

1st we are safe, dry, no trees came down on our property and we have power .. many around us do not . :(
The temperature is falling like a rock. It was 60° @ 7 am and it is now 45° @ 1 pm. Forecast low 32°.
 
- ~ bombogenesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_cyclogenesis) ~ -  :o

At last check of my nearest (and accurate) local rain gauge we were @ 5.15 inches of rain in the past 24 Hrs. (11 AM EST 12/18/2023).
Locally we had wind gusts of up to about 50 MPH.
The ground here is extremely over saturated from all of the rain events over the past 30 days and it can not hold the huge trees in this area with those kind of gusts.

Our local river (Saddle River) that runs through town is out of it's banks just about everywhere.  :(

speaking of pups awareness'. Ollie man was going crazy at the bottom of my backyard hill. anything that changes in his view he alerts me too. Yes, I don't remember that thingy Ollie. Thanks much. What to do or say about it, I don't know that either, LOL. It's hanging off either the power line or tel-com line?.

BL - thankfully you didn't lose power or trees...I just have to say this in jest of course: It's you all's turn....I'm loving this Super El Nino!...all kidding aside, I lost a front yard ash tree to the issue of torrential rains plus wind. Uprooted on top of my house...in 2003 I think. Was a tornado however. My back yard willow felled it's top on my roof but from the opposite direction and not uprooted.

I made it safe and sound across the bridge, and back.  :D

kb - The heated igloo is cool for outside dining. 

baz - I am glad to read that you made out OK with the storm. 

tsk - Can't wait to see your puzzle. 

E4E - Jeff has been baking cookies.  I know one of the Beakers mentioned they make Fruitcake Cookies, so he is on to that batch today. He also made choco chip, peanut butter and oatmeal scotchies.

karen - I hope the water has gone down or you.  I came back home, and passed the creek on Main Street, and the water was still high and covering the roadway.

tig - That is cool about the naming of the trees for inventory purposes.

Lani - Awww, so glad that Aly made it safely, and that Sadie & Dewey are reunited.  :-*  Love the Santa hats on the Cactus! Thanks for the Royal update.

Phyl - Yea...cats are fine, now to get the house in order.  Thanks for the RRP post, and 365.  Very cool about, participant names will be etched on microchips mounted on NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft.

clynn - Looks like Christmas was a success at your house, and Santa Claus was good to the munchkins!  Love the London Christmas Tree Rental idea.

BL - Glad to hear that you are safe, too!

Kb I'm actually glad it wasn't cold enough here in North Jersey for a humdinger of a bombogenesis Nor'easter.

If the temps had been around 25° last night lets say _ 5.1 inches of rain could have meant about 66 inches or 5.5 feet of snow ! (https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/winter/faq/)  ::)

Trail cam photo of what is pretty sure Rutt, the moose on the loose. Perham, MN. Hasn't moved much north for the last 3 weeks although the Rut is over. People speculating he may be hanging out here for the time being.
Read all of the comments and pretty sure this is him.

kb he's just so sexy it's hard to be really sure.   ;)

I'll add Rutt the Moose to the map north of the Perham, MN
Near little and big Pine Lakes North of Perham, MN after the site Mods can actually verify it's actually Rutt.   ;)

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!
Waving to ALL the Beakers!  :)


T-Rex is getting in the Christmas spirit in London!  :D :-*

and, ruh-roh on those toasty warm scarves for the Snowman!   :o ;D ;)

(https://raptorresource.org/raptorresource/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2813.0;attach=592778;image)



I walked 34 minutes today - severe clear skies here today.  ;)  All good at my place. Some places south of me took it pretty hard on the chin, however.  Prayers for all who have suffered loss from the recent storms, far and wide.



BL, glad you and Pip and all at your place are safe and sound. I watched pics and vids from Paterson, NJ this morning.  Cyclonogenesis - so glad it wasn't snow!!! Loved your story of Christmas past at your parents' wonderful home - and all the great fun with a big crowd of family, and love and laughs abounding - beautiful memories, for sure.  :-*

Karen, so glad no severe weather hit around you, and all the ponding water is soaking in.  You and Piper keep on keeping on, and enjoy the lights, special treats, decorations, and neighborly Christmas time.  :) :-*

Phyl, congrats on your Nasa Passport!  I visit their website often, and watch most of the launches - I get to see some of the launched crafts "fly" by my home, along their way up the Eastern coastline, from their Space Coast launches. (Ditto with some of the SpaceX launches from FL, too.) If the data from Jupiter's water-moon, Europa, comes back as conducive for human habitation, will you move there?   ;) :D  It's always exciting to see all the discoveries from the many space probes, launches, and related science. I love all that stuff.  :)

Clynn, fun pics from Christmas with Erin's!!  Great pics of the kids!  They are happy!!  :D :-* :-*  Air hockey table - YES!  Let the fun begin!  I remember playing that back when.  Yum on the Cheddar Bay biscuits!!  I loved your report and pic of finding Becky's old box of "Barbie dolls" from the Wayback Machine! - no Barbie, and Ken, off with his head!!!  LOL!!  She's going to love getting it!!  I can't wait to hear what she has to say about that Ken doll situation.  LOLOL!   :D  I LOVE the London Christmas Tree Rental project!!!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

TSK, awww... Lucy said, "We're almost there!"  :-*  Lulu keeping you company and supervising the new puzzle...  :-*  waiting to see if she is one of the kitties in it?  If you finish and you're missing one piece, she might know where it is.  ;) :D

Lani, I love the Santa hats on the cacti!  So glad you used to do that, too!  :D  Thanks for the Royal Albies report!  :-* :-* :-*  I hope Mike's trip goes well - any news on when he might get his shot for his back?  So glad Aly and Dewey are there, and all are safe, and all tails-a-wagging!  Dewey knows when the pines signal they're getting close!  Sadie welcoming Dewey with lots of tail wagging and slobbery kisses - THAT'S the real sign... true friends forever.  :) :-* :-* Did you say Shannon will be there for Christmas, too?  Your house is filling up!   :) :-* :-*  It looks like rain and snow is coming your way - snow for the upper elevations - wonder if you will have a white Christmas!!

E4E, sooo glad to hear you got some rain - I know it's needed.  I saw the weather forecast for your part of the world, and it looks like you have more rain on the way this week! But hopefully not the kind that will spoil any of your plans.  :-*

Lisa, I'm so glad you got across THAT bridge   :o  and back, all a-okay!!  Glad B&K got all moved, and the kitties are busy discovering all there is to discover in their new home.  I bet Sydney is snug-as-a-bug in her new abode.  :) :-* :-*  Oh, tell Jeff, I will take some of his hot-n-fresh homemade peanut butter cookies and oatmeal scotchies! Mmm!  :D



Take care, All. Peace. SED.

Tsk - Have fun with your kitty puzzle - perfect time of year for enjoying puzzles!   That's right - you've had Lulu almost a year now!!  It is nice that she was happy just to be up on the table letting you do all the 'work'! ;D
Liked the story of how Lucy used to know when you would all be home soon!!  Pets really are so smart. :)    My pets in the past knew too when we would be home soon. :)

Karen - Wow lots of rain yesterday for you!  Hope Piper didn't insist on going out. ;)

BL - That is LOTS of rain - thanks for updating Karen!    Oh my gosh, just read about your situation.  Glad you have power and no trees down is excellent.  You & Pip and Kopje stay safe (hope I spelled the name correctly).

Tig - What a fun way for those folks to name their trees for Christmas!

Lani - Have a wonderful time with Aly & Dewey back at home for the holidays!!  Glad Mike will be back home at the end of this week so that he can start enjoying too!! ;D     Darling pups in your nite post!
Hope you had a good appt at your Dentist today - maybe just a cleaning?
Thanks for posting Albatross update.  Nice that the grass was left long for privacy!

Phyl - Cute elves in your morning post!   Thank you for Amy's blog.  Cute winter walk in 365.   Excited for you and the Nasa's Europa Clipper spacecraft message in a bottle!!!

Clynn - Understandable you didn't get many pictures of the Munchkins and all the present opening - such a fun & exciting time!!! ;D   Squishmallows! :)
They will have such fun with the Air Hockey Table!!
Thank you for Igloo dining link!! I understand it now.  It sure sounds like lots of fun!!
Amazing and sad to see all the folks we lost in 2023.
Always a great thing to rent a Christmas tree. :)

Kb - Cute horsie!  It seems you sure know how to keep warm walking in chilly temps!   Does Ollie mind wearing a jacket or sweater?   Nothing gets by your Ollie Man!  I see the black thing up there in your picture!  Maybe it is a flattened balloon(?)

LisaG - Lucky you, that Jeff likes to bake cookies!!! ;D  Bet your home smells so yummy!!   Glad the 'kids' are settling into their new home and kitties are all good!!

Tig - Beautiful lovely Christmas tree!!!  Beautiful Pooh ornaments. ;D

Hi Puff, Og, Lori, Bazi  :)

Beakers have a nice evening - stay warm & safe.  We got .25" of rain so far, but more is forecast for this evening.  I hope so.

BL  Wow  Some rough times for you there.  Glad you got through it and still have a roof!  The fact that you still have power is amazing enough.   YES  Rain definitely better than what could have happened.  Are you directly impacted by the overflowing of the Passaic river?

KB  That Ollie is something else to spot that so high up

TIG   Who carries the Pooh ornaments?  Do you order those on line?  Great collection.  ;D

BAZI   scarves came right out of the dryer  LOLOL

LISA   Yay on your bridge trip today.  Can you take a pic of Jeff's cookie array?  I'm interested in the fruitcake one . ;D

CLynn I'll take the cookie and hot cinnamon tea; Great snaps of the Munchkins -that Hockey Table will get alot of attention.  Talon's science kit looks like some fun.  I've seen the Red Lobster mix for cheddarbay biscuts. I found their reciepe for tartar sauce and I make it for us on 'fish/seafood' night.  The talent we lost this year ---many recognize---the one that upset me the most was Matthew Perry--for some reason. Not a real fan, but did enjoy his acting. Renting a tree in a pot is a good idea.

Tsk me thinks that Lulu may be a fan of puzzling like Maggie is of computer games. She's gets so into that she'll play along with her paw as if to say 'this one'. My little fur ball is never wrong!


Eagles  Awwwww Pig Pen.  Thanks. Be so cool if after the info was gathered NASA would just let Europa Clipper drift out into deep space---aliens find it and check it out then  come to Earth to find the Earthlings who belong the microchips. But that'd be so far in time one direction or the other,  that aliens  no can locate.  ;D

KB handsome Icelandic horse; cats are no different that dogs on many points.

Lani here's to a good dental outcome-my  dentist is 'retiring' next spring.  I'm really gonna miss Doc   Many thanks for the Royal  Albie update. Finally the name code is decoded.  ;)
When I was a little girl the families would string Christmas lights on the cacti .

BL glad you and Pip are safe; getting lots of rain you are and Saddle River, well let's hope it doesn't swell much more. Y'all take care.

{{{Tig/Camper}}} this year will be rough without Zeus for sure. But  you still have Rosie and she has lots to give. That's great idea to have those tree tags from the farm too. Thanks for the snaps.

Bazi   the congrats comes from being selected to add my name to NASA's Message in a Bottle and the honor of having my hyphenated name etched on one on the 100's of thousands of microchips that make up the Europa Clipper.  I knew one way or the other I'd get in to Outer Space and beyond---even if in name only.   LOL
Glad you and Zippo are well

Phyl, Thanks for RRP highlights on the goslings.... Winter Walk  :) ... Congratulations on the Nasa Passport.

Clynn, thanks for the biscuit recipe.... I bet the kittens are adorable in Erin's video....  fun pics of munchkins enjoying Christmas... I bet Talon will love the Science kit. What's in the big box? ;D ... what are Squishmallows? They look adorable. I saw a large jar of those in the dentist office.  ;D... I love TCM Remembers..

Tsk, It doesn't seem like Lulu has been with you almost a year. Well, she's a quiet observer.  ;D... "Finally what the letters stand for in the Albatross names" me too!  ;D

Kb, sweet horse.... brrrr, you, Chris and Ollie keep warm.... awww {{{Rutt}}} I wish he'd find a friend.

Lisa, glad you made it over the bridge... your home must have smelled delicious with all the wonderful goodies Jeff was busy baking.  ;D .. Jeff we need pics!

BL, glad to hear you and Pip are safe. In one of your links, it looks like rough fast moving waters.

Tig Beautiful tree, I love the lights... fun Pooh Collection  :-* ... YAY {{{Rosie}}} is coming.  :-*

Baz, love the sweater on the T-Rex ... Mike returns Thursday, and will get his shot on Friday... Aly's going with him and drive him home... Shannon will come for Christmas Day dinner. Aly went to work in her Payson Community office and visited with her clients in person.. Lots of hugs and a good day for her. And Dewey settled back into his regular routine with grandma  ;D.... Looks like some rain is coming our way from the west coast.... may turn into snow Christmas Eve. Are you going to visit family for Christmas. We've got some great football bowl games to look forward to this weekend.

Eagles, Dentist gave me a star!  ;D... You've got some serious rain clouds coming towards CA... I hope the rain won't affect your Christmas plans.

Good night!

Lani, the big box is an air hockey game, they love it! Squishmallows are all the craze for little girls! They are stuffed and oh so soft critters, they have been around for at least a couple of years but are getting more popular! Here is a video, enjoy!  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=Squishmallows+Channel&&mid=8239634BCCA8834E34028239634BCCA8834E3402&&FORM=VRDGAR   So glad Mike can get his shot Friday, and that Aly will take him!

E4E, animals have great instincts! Every morning when I get up and walk down the stairs there is Harley sitting at the doorway to the kitchen to greet me. He must hear me because he is always there! Then he sits on the table and watches me make coffee, patiently waiting for his breakfast to be served, then a few treats!  Love Pigpen and his snowman! I always loved the way the dirt cloud followed him around!

Good morning Beakers!   Busy day yesterday here and on the Beak!   Love the posts and glad to see Lisa, Baz and BL made it thru the storm in fine fettle!  🤑 Bl and Pip!
Lisa, Jeff is definitely a keeper as tgey say!  Cooks and takes care of the kitties, etc!  You seem to make a great pair!  Not a fruit cake lover but I will take some of tge rest!   My father used to make me take s piece of fruit cake so I would eat the cake part and pick out the fruit!  A friend of mine made a cake to substitute for fruit cake caked would you believe sausage cake!  Made a large heavy moist cake with a pound of pork sausage, a cup of hot coffee,  and spices and more.  My great Aunt in Tn used to make Mince meat pie with Hard sauce!   My first taste as a young child brought forth a loud laugh and “there’s swiskey, in here!”    Y reaction was based on the fact that I knew the southern relatives did not drink.  My mother and aunt neglected to tell me they cooked with it!   Remember the pie and the delicious taste to this day!  Hard sauce is a mix of butter, sugar and, I think brandy!  Served cold, hence hard on two counts, liquor and cold!

Clynn, fun and festive Christmas at your house! You can now rest up and get ready for a trip to Moms and a second celebration!   Over the hills and through the woods as the song goes!  (Now via interstate s, lol)
Thanks for all the charming morning vignettes!  The same for all of you who post  cheerful scenes and cute puppies and kitties!
Phyl, looks like you will be, out of this world!
Lani, I had two Shih Tzus, charlie and Chu Can and we visitrd a friend on weekends who had one, LaFu who loved my teo!  They played together  all weekend.   One time  we visited and La Fu didn’t know we were coming and he got so excited when he saw’s us that he actually levitated!  So much fun, so I can appreciate 
Dewey and Sadies reaction and love for each other!    Good for Aly, life is settled in as it should be!  Good for Mike.  Some times it takes two shots to work really well!  I should have received another last time but I hate them!
36 degrees this am but a brighrt sunny day!  Same yesterday.  Think all the water  has soaked in or u
Run off  so no more swimming for Piper!   Rain  expected for Christmas.
Waving at you Lori and enjoying s piece of blueberry  lemon cake and a cuppa!  Thanks

Everyone's baking and so will we Christmas Eve weekend. Told Jim I missed fudge so he'll make some then.  I'll never forget the  Christmas he and Mom made his
fudge---she assisted and the laughs I heard.  :-* :-* :-* Anyway, he's promised me milk chocolate with walnuts.   ;D

Lani so happy Mike gets his injection this Friday and Aly will be there as driver and support. No doubt her Payson  clients will be glad to see her.  A sweet snap that would be of Sadie and Dewey napping

CLynn thanks for snap of Munchkins playing air hocky. Dan's son,  my nephew,  Matthew "Matt' plays amature ice hocky as a 'hobby' . The Pros told him too bad he started too young.  Luv the Christmas 100 yrs ago not so very different---just the toys. Lovely  Puglia, Italy

Tsk congrats to Tim on his blood glucose level.  I have some hand blown ornaments of Dad's circa 1930's  are so delicate now I have to keep them boxed in transparent box w/ bubble wrap.  Lulu keeping you company while 'puzzling' ?

Hi Puff!  Pls keep warm in and out of doors.

 Sending my best thoughts and sincerest prayers for you today at pain clinid..Lovely birthday greeting for Oma, {{{Lori}}} cake and all look so yummy.
Oh dear me! Those Peppermint White-Chocolate-Cheesecake-Bars!

Karen 'Out of this world' I know ! I can barely wait for launch next October. Gonna be glued to the PC /TV for that one. Not all like fruit cake ---my mom took orders on hers. She wrapped and soaked them in wine for what seemed like eons.   Sweet story of y our puppies and friend, La Fu.
Never had the hard sauce as the wine was plenty.  You and Piper keep dry and warm. Nice front porch. Cuppa is always nice.

KB nope snap doesn't do your deck justice, too bad. Luv the Short Eared Owl and her owlets. Tks  Good snap of 'Rutt"

Lisa fruit cake cookie sound interesting. Jim speciality is fudge---dark chocolate!

Hi Tig/Camper lovely Iris. Tks

Lani sweet puppy for Oma

  A friend of mine made a cake to substitute for fruit cake caked would you believe sausage cake!  Made a large heavy moist cake with a pound of pork sausage, a cup of hot coffee,  and spices and more. 

Karen - I looked up Sausage cake from what you described.  I think I found a recipe.  Sounds interesting!

Loved seeing and reading everyone's posts!  Loved all the photos and hearing about everyone's "doings."  I'm in line with Lani for the cake, and for all the other treats, too!!  :D

I didn't walk today... maybe tomorrow.  Someone asked... Zippo and I only have plans to be home over Christmas, and we will keep each other company, and eat some special treats... don't know what that's going to be yet, though.  ;)

Everyone stay safe, and enjoy all the fun festivities, decorations, and special treats!  :)

Tsk LOL that would have made a funny snap. I can just see that.  Yes, N365 promises to be good in '24. I'm not sure either if I'd make the sausage cake. But, I'm lucky in that Jim is adventureous in dinning. So I can say he'd try it if I made one.   
Wonder who here will make it first---Lisa?

Boight abd keep eating  cookies from Publix!  Phyl, tell Jim to ask them to take them out of the aisles?  Lol.  No will power!

My sister Cathy's oldest grandson Cole (upper right corner, 15) has played ice hockey since he could hold a stick. His team plays all over the US. And there is my other great nephew Kai (#2), he's a baseball kind of guy! Ice Hockey too rough for him...

Lani, I can just picture you and Mike and the furkids all safe and sound at night, a sweet picture...  I am also on the 'no willpower' list! So nice that Aly can work some so she can stay longer with you and Mike at Christmas!  Steaks for New Years sounds wonderful! Kelsey told Mom she wants roast beef for Christmas! Mom makes the best roast beef, with the potatoes and carrots, yum! I also look forward to a pic of Sadie and Dewey!

E4E, well, I think maybe Ed and I will have steak for New Year's Eve too!! Little girls are over the moon with the Squishmallows! Bella has always loved stuffed animals and everything! I got her a soft pink heart pillow a couple of years ago, she gets it out everytime they are here! She likes to surround hersalf with pillows and stuffed animals! Gosh I miss having her on Wednesdays...

kb, beautiful downtown Minneapolis sunset! Listening to the video now, it is beautiful...

tsk, congrats to Tim on his good work! Sounds like he is on track! The cat's tail, a thing with a mind of its own! I love how it twitches when you hold it!  Sometimes Harley gets on my desk and tries to sit on the mouse, otherwise he lays and reaches his paw over to the keyboard. He has messed me up several times! Mom has some bubble light ornaments and a few other very old ornaments that she puts on the tree every year, I don't think any of the bubble lights work any longer, she said they got those when we lived in Germany, in the 50's. There are a couple that were my Grandmother's as well.

oldguy, Ed came in my 'office' yesterday to tell me about the volcano eruption in Iceland. I told him that I know all about the Iceland volcanic activity for the past several months because we have a Beaker that brings us all the latest news! I let him watch the videos you posted, he was amazed!

Lori, I am in line for a piece of the cake for M9oa's birthday! Looks so good! And those Peppermint White-Chocolate-Cheesecake-Bars! I found the recipe:  https://www.thechunkychef.com/peppermint-white-chocolate-cheesecake-bars/    Good luck at the pain clinic! I hope it works and for a long time...

karen, cute story of the puppies rejoicing at seeing each other! The Siamese cat lady sent a video of the 5 kittens playing, they are so cute! I wish I could post it, they are running, jumping and hopping all over the place! And those tiny meows!

Lisa, Jeff's cookies look worthy of Bon Appetit!

NEFL - Gabby lays her first egg. (yesterday)

Jussi Bjorling’s father was a popular opera singer.  His son followed in his footsteps as you can hear in his rendition of O Holy Night!  He came to a Lutheran Church I attended in Chicago and sang during the service!  Magnificent  experience! 
Have some  rib eye steaks in the freezer  for Christmas!   They are Prime beef, from Sams.   Delicious in the past.

I'm the one that's been posting this map on "Rutt-The Central MN Moose on the Loose" group FB page using Pip's account.

Brenda Johnson updated the description. Admin.

This site was created for a Central Minnesota Moose that was spotted crossing the state in September and October of 2018. Then a huge following occurred when we had Rutt appear in October 2023. We watched him for two months as he made his way up north.
Feel free to use this page for pictures and videos of Minnesota moose sightings.
Please do NOT attempt to get too close to a moose. No pictures are worth your safety.
*This is a Happy Place! Possive posts only please. 🙂
Since Rutt is closer to other moose, and his antlers will be falling off in the next couple months, it will be impossible to track him. The page will now be dedicated to all Minnesota moose sightings.

thanks, BL...cool....yep, Silver Leaf Township is just east of Frazee, MN. I last posted here a picture of him 8 miles east of Frazee. Thanks for the map making. I do notice more than one admin. I try to only acknowledge pics where AN admin has at least posted something confirmative of it being Rutt.

I expect that it will get harder to identify him...esp. when he drops those antlers. A small part of me though would love to hear/know where he finally ends his journey and perhaps "joins" a female..
I expect not but who knows.

Chris and I decided to wait till Friday to visit Scott at the Cemetery. Until Sunday we will only be staying at our current warmer temps or even getting warmer still...I will take pics. No snow will be there, but I'm sure it will still be gorgeous.

oldguy - that's really good news. Early this morning the tv peeps were still suggesting it could go on for months. Great to hear!

📺 SLOTH TV

🦥Sloth Preschool Update:
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Under 500 grams, seems to be adjusting well to his diet (goat's milk) and gaining weight.

Mimi, two-fingered sloth: The vet team had to amputate her hand until wrist level to prevent the risk of infection. She has the most reserved prognosis and hasn’t been gaining weight. Hopefully, it will start to perk up after the surgery.

Grover, two-fingered sloth: The wound on his leg is nearly healed. We have left it without a bandage, so the injury is ventilated.

Binx, two-fingered sloth: Seems stable, eating well, and gaining weight; we are closely monitoring her bathroom breaks.

Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Although he has progressed, he still has anemia and is getting weekly iron and cholesterol, closely monitoring his bloodwork.

Ken, two-fingered sloth: He will be moved to Sloth Elementary for the next stage of his rehabilitation process.

🎓Sloth University Update:
Coco, two-fingered sloth: In one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures, consistently eating the most. Coco is likely the next sloth to be released.

Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax needs to gain more weight before release in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures.

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 one of them.

Liana, two-fingered sloth: Stable but still too small to move to a bigger enclosure.

Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Our smallest graduate, but growing well. We just increased his leaf amount. All the other sloths are offered the same amount except for Antonio, who’s working hard to catch up.

🥀In Loving Memory:
Cajeta, three-fingered sloth: We are sorry to deliver the heavy news that Cajeta died of chronic pneumonia. This is a common issue TRR sees with orphaned three-fingered sloths.

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.

Binx and Elmo  :-*

NEW ARRIVAL:
Meet S’mores the juvenile Spectacled Owl!
🌵 A familiar story for young owls just learning how to fly, S’mores was found tangled in a barbed wire fence in the Limón Province of Costa Rica. Unable to escape, he was rescued by MINAE and brought to us for treatment of a wing injury.
🦉 Thankfully, the injuries S’mores had sustained were not significant and he breezed through his treatments in less than a month. He has since been moved to the Release Site where he is flying well and on track to be rewilded. Once we observe him hunting successfully, he will be #backinthetrees!
🎁 Looking for a last minute gift for a bird lover? Imagine S’mores under the tree this holiday season! Well, not physically–Symbolic Adoptions sponsor the overall care of an animal at TRR for one year!
💚 While wild animals are #notpets, you will receive recognition as being the adopter on our website and social media platforms, as well as an adoption package full of goodies! For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/TRRAdoptions

Phyl - Dark chocolate fudge sounds delicious.  ;D ;D I was seriously thinking about making the Sausage cake.  Jeff likes to mix his Scrapple with his pancakes & syrup, so I bet it would be kinda the same.    Love those Lenox nutcracker figurines.

baz - I am sure you and Zippo will have some delicious treats/snacks for Christmas.  You always have something yummy! 

tsk - I bet his doc is going to be very happy with Tim's blood sugar!

karen - I was reading some of the reviews, and some said it was a breakfast cake.  Aww, sweet pic of you!

kb - Beautiful pic of downtown Minn!

E4E - I will eat one for you.  ;D ;D

Lani - A few left.  ;D  Lovely Christmas tree in your good night pic.

Puff - The sky was so clear in Decorah this morning, you could see most of the stars.

clynn - Woohoo...Congrats to Gabby and V3!  I bet all at NEFL are ecstatic!

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.  Those Q-Kids are still my favorite.

KB & Lani I'm pretty sure Rutt crossed Co Route 34 heading North near Rochert, MN yesterday 12/19/23.
Not officially confirmed by the Admins, but I checked out all of the pics & vids pretty closely and I believe it was Rutt near the https://four-corners-convenience-store.business.site/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral located @ the intersection of 34 and 29.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zcJpiyb7ZnaEsNFg9

According to the locals he's heading right into prime moose habitat in the Tamarack NWR and the White Earth Reservation beyond to the North.

He should find plenty of his ilk in that neck of the woods/lakes.  ;D

They think Rutt is around 2 years old.
Bull moose don't usually start breeding until they are about 5 yrs old, so it will be a few more yrs before he has a 'date'.  :-[

GO RUTT GO .. safe travels my hoofed friend.  8)

Yeah I have been reading some peeps concerns on that FB group about the wolves/wolf packs up in that area.  :-\

Rutt seems like a very healthy and active male moose and he has been sticking primarily to open agricultural areas.
(Less likely to be accosted by a wolf in open terrain except for frozen lakes and since the lakes up there aren't frozen over enough to support a moose that shouldn't be a problem either. Stay off the lakes anyway Rutt !
I would think that the wolves would steer clear of him for the most part and he would give them a run for their money if they made a go at him.

Remember one good kick from an adult bull moose and it's possibly sayonara wolf, they don't want/need to deal with that risk. There's much easier pray for wolves to be had at this time of year (aka deer) especially with the relative lack of snow on the ground in that area.

I really don't think they'll give him much trouble especially if Rutt hooks up with some of his bull buddies that are also in the area.   :)    8)

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


(https://cache.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/blogs/10-Happy-December-Quotes-And-Gifs-49659-2.gif)


Brrr! I don't know if I'm going out for a walk today... though we're supposed to make it up to 50 today - warmer than yesterday! I may wait till tomorrow though, when it's supposed to make it to the mid-50s.  ;) :D  It is going to get a little warmer each day this week, and we will be in the mid-to-upper-60s for Christmas! Rain coming Christmas night here, I think, and then more on the day after, but I hope the weather will hold for the kids to get outside Christmas Day some, with their new outdoor things.  I think a warming trend is in the works for a large part of the country over the next few days, and rain, too.

Everone's holiday food plans sound delish!  I'm probably going to hit the grocery store the day before and just see what strikes me at the time... and like I did over Thanksgiving this year, I may settle on a yummy steak - so unlike what I usually choose for Christmas, but my lack of a working refrigerator makes for a change in my usual, which has included oysters, homemade crab bisque, and fresh whole steamed Maine lobster. I'm trying not to think about it. LOL! Looking forward to getting my new fridge delivered the first week in January! Yay!

Great news from the NEFL nest of the 1st egglet of the season - great pic of Gabby on the nest. I hope they have a successful season. And fingers crossed for the SWFL nest, too!  :-* :-* :-* :-*




Lani, hugs and love for all those sloths... sadness for the ones who aren't able to continue.  :-* :-* :'(  Love seeing the toucans, too! Yay for the gorgeous Spectacled Owl making such a great recovery and on track for release back into the wild soon!  :)

Clynn, great pics of Cole and Kai, your great nephews!  They are at the top of their games!! Funny about your news of Becky after she got your package of the dolls. Love the pic of the kids playing with their new Air Hockey table! :D

Karen, I would try that sausage cake with coffee for breakfast or brunch - well, anytime, really!  ;)  I bet it's a savory delight!  Love the picture of your home's front entrance all decorated for the season - classic! Great throwback picture of you  as a child by the Christmas tree! Hugs to you and Piper!  :)

Lori, I sure do hope your pain shot gives you some relief. Fingers crossed! Let us know how it goes... hugs to you and Destini!  :)

TSK, LOL on Lulu's tail-swishing!  :D :D  Congrats on Tim's greatly improved blood sugar levels!!  Is that all from his change of diet, or is it in combination with insulin? Whatever all he's doing, it's working! Yay! Enjoy your puzzle, and y'all stay warm!  :)

Lisa, great pics of Jeff's yummy cookies!  The peanut butter ones look like the ones I used to make with a recipe called Miracle Cookies - LOL. I havven't made them in eons, but they were a fav of one of my husbands-past.  ;D ::) :P ;D 8)  I think I could eat every one of Jeff's oatmeal scotchies!!  :D   I bet you're looking forward to visiting with B&K&S over Christmas days.


Zippo calls.  ;) :D  Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Tsk, 2 1/2.  Should have posted it to orrow for throw back Thursday!

The sausage cake was made in lieu  of fruitcake.  Good breakfast deal. I will  ot make another one but would if I was having s large crowd for brunch!  In the winter.
Liketge stockings from the past week?  Phyll and maybe clynn posted them, I think!   Lani. Thanks for keeping us up to date on the royal As and tge sloths!  The owl is beautiful!
Clynn, good for nefl!  Glad they are back!  Late egg laying for them.

BL - Oh your opinion makes me happy!...it is one reason I hope that somehow/someway somebody will spot him to alleviate any fear going forward. Of course I know that may not be possible.

Hope so, crossing my fingers for this young Moose who was driven out of his homeland? most likely by fire and has made such a miraculous journey back home from so far south.

If they (wolves) pack that's a different story. You probably have read some about that....same with coyotes which are starting to pack hunt even in my urban setting. But, I know Rutt is as far as we can tell not an unhealthy, weak male Moose, in his favor.

Hang in there Rutt!....we are praying for you.

Oh and stay off the lakes/ponds...the Spirit Lake Moose drowned unfortunately.

Frank Viva’s “Wrapping Up”


KB enjoyed Jussi Bjorling performance, many thanks.'  Like sure hope/pray for  Rutt. And, that the right person spots him as he travels.
   Looking forward toyour snaps of Ft. Snelling.

CLynn    No snaps of Matt as Dan only sends short videos.  The fellas look great in their pro photos.   Didn't watch N365 today. Nope no way.
Congrats to NEFL'sa Gabby on her first egglet of the season.  :-*

Tsk enjoyed the candy canes today.  I have   favorite two carols 'Silent Night' and " O Little Town of Bethlehem'. My favorite European Christmas song is the Ukranian folk song, " Carol of the Bells'. Released in 1961 if memory serves. 

Karen so  that sweet little girl in ringlets is you at 2 1/2 yrs.  Tks for backstory on Bjorling

BL many thanks for the sightings map for Rutt and the moose  web site info and addt'l reports... you keep us so well informed

Oldguy  Many thanks for update/wonderful news for Svartsengi , Iceland...so relieved for them. Still concerned for a recovery
I love Mannheim Steamroller , have all the Christmas CDs and several of the others. Please post about the concert. We went to a Christmas concert here in Nashville when we first moved here. Just awesome. Been attending every chance we get.
  Q-Kids as always ---think of Home Alone whenever I hear 'Run Rudolph Run'

Lani sweet kitties today. Tks for update on Parker  & Sebastian.  And the new arrival , S’mores the juvenile Spectacled Owl! So cute! :-*

Lisa the breakfast cake classification sound about right for the  Sausage cake. Not sure what I'll serve as breakfast Christmas morning. But as a nod to my late  mother we always have pizza for Christmas Eve dinner.  Memories of haveing  a late lunch at the newly opened (that very day btw) Pizza Hut on Rangeline Rd, Joplin . It was Christmas Eve and we were going to take in the special holiday lights  inside NorthPark Mall afterwards .

BL   Good update - thanks

BAZI    Only a couple weeks left and you won't have to make thinking about meals a part of daily routine.  We should hit 51 here with rain on Xmas day.  Can remember quite a few Christmases without snow.   Tim does not want to do insulin shots so is working feverishly with diet to get that A1C down.

Thanks BL for the Rutt report!  Moose are able to kill wolves by kicking them !  Grizzly Bears, not really!  I too wish Rutt well !

I have seen a similar young moose under no duress what so ever launch a wolf clear out of the picture frame

We were like

Respect.

And we ate it harpooned off a pine bow.  A lot like bacon ?



Here are the 33 mapped sightings of Rutt The Moose (RTM) on his journey from Iowa up North to Minnesota.

It is believed that RTM came out of the Dakotas, but it is unconfirmed, so his adventure begins in Alton, IA on 09/23/23.

RTM was Parachuted into Alton, IA on the 23rd of Sept 2023 for some mysterious moose following reasons.

No Chinese balloons, UAP's or signs of either of them were seen dropping their moose in the area.

"We" suspect the wildfires in Canada drove RTM south out of 1 of the Dakotas.

First confirmed sighting of the moose that became to be called "Rutt The Moose" (RTM) was in Alton, IA on 09/23/23.

All of the subsequent sightings of RTM were confirmed using photos or videos by Group consensus, the FB groups admins and some wishful moose thinking I suppose too.

The last confirmed sighting of RTM by the FB admins was near Silver Leaf Twp, MN on 12/18/23.

I have added another sighting point to my map in Rochert, MN on 12/19/23 because I truly believe it is RTM from all of the videos and stills.
He's now in moose bliss country in MN for the holidays.

RTM stats hoofing it about from A to B:

Date Begin: Alton, IA 09/23/23
Date End: Rochert, MN 12/19/23  = 87 days.

Point to Point STRAIGHT line track miles by RTM this leg so far = 401 Miles.

Average miles per day on this maps track if RTM moved every day = 4.6 miles.

Thousands of yards to 15 miles the next.
That's how moose roll at this age.

That is a measure of time and distance. Both linear.

I always like to take into account the Gravity, Elevation and Obstacles. 

I'm a grazing young moose heading on my way back home to the correct Latitude is all my compass says.

I assure you I did not hoof this track in a straight line RTM

A moose eating granola bars for 87 days.

Look out wolf pack.

A GoPro camera hovering between his tines looking forward the whole time is priceless.

Lisa, Looking at the ingredients, don't you think the Sausage cake would freeze well too? It's a bundt cake, You could cut it into slices to go with Jeff's breakfast and freeze.

Tsk, I've never seen an owl such as Smores. He's gorgeous!

BL, Thank you for the update on Rutt. I'd like to think he may finally find a place to call home, especially with winter coming. His senses must be leading him in the right direction.  ;D

Baz, you have a beautiful family.

SED Phyl

Tig, thanks for the suggestion. We haven't seen it. I see Bradley Cooper wrote and directed it.

Eagles, yes, Mike flies into Sky Harbor after 2pm, he should be home around 5pm. Dewey will be over the moon when he sees Mike, and of course, Miss Sadie will be too. And me too  ;D ;D ;D

BL, Thanks for more updates, pic and maps on Rutt... He is a beauty

Good night!

8 Winter Solstice Celebrations Around the World

Since long before recorded history, the winter solstice and the subsequent “return” of the sun have inspired celebrations
and rituals in various societies around the world.

Christmas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas)
Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25[a] as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it follows the season of Advent (which begins four Sundays before) or the Nativity Fast, and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many countries,is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians,as well as culturally by many non-Christians, and forms an integral part of the holiday season surrounding it.
The traditional Christmas narrative recounted in the New Testament, known as the Nativity of Jesus, says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem,

What Is Yule? What Is a Yule Log?
https://www.almanac.com/content/what-yule-log-christmas-traditions (https://www.almanac.com/content/what-yule-log-christmas-traditions)
Today, “Yule” and “Yuletide” are largely synonymous with “Christmas” and “Christmastide,” but the meaning behind them is quite different from that of the Christian holiday.
“Yule” comes from Old English geol, which shares a history with the equivalent word from Old Norse, jól. Both these words referred to a midwinter festival centered around the winter solstice, which traditionally marked the halfway point of the winter season. After the solstice—the shortest day of the year—the days again begin to grow longer, so it’s thought that Yule was a celebration of the re-appearance of the Sun and the fertile land’s rebirth...

BL - Thanks for the info on Rutt.

baz - Great picture of greatniece and her mom in front of the pretty tree!  I am looking forward to having B, K & S here for Christmas Day.   :D  I am going to bake a spiral ham, but no one wanted all the big sides to go with the ham.  So, we are going to make lil sandwiches with the ham, and then have some appetizers.

oldguy - How was the concert? 

kb - Mmm, chili sounded good. I might have to make me a pot soon.

Phyl - What a nice nod to your mom on Christmas Eve.  Love those candle decorations in your good night pic.  Mine outside are the older ones that have NOEL written down the front.  Thanks for the 365, and Winter Solstice Celebrations Around the World.

E4E - I see you mentioned your Mom & Sis will be with you on Christmas Day.  Is your son and grandson coming over, too?

Lani - I was wondering if the cake would freeze too.  Did Mike get his injection yet, or did I miss you posting that?  I hope he has been feeling ok.  Aww, love the good night pic.

tig - I will look for that once it comes on cable.   :D

Lisa, your Christmas meal sounds perfect! I can remember many double huge dinners in the past, with one family at noonish and the other in the evening.

Phyl, lovely Winter Solstice pictures! Interesting history on the Yule Log, imagine getting the tree trunk into the house and into the fireplace! And big enough to last 12 days! Love those sweet energetic Sanderlings in the 365, their scurrying around makes me want to get busy!!  40 here now, high 54 today. The picture of the guys by the plane, is Jim the tall one on the left?

Lani, Mike gets home this evening! I bet he will be glad! Is it tomorrow Aly takes him to get the shot? Sweet pic of the dogs...they remind me of Monks...

BL, great update on Rutt!

E4E, so glad that your Mom and Sis are close, makes getting together so much easier. I enjoy visiting Mom but the 8 hour drive is tiring...  But I shouldn't complain when Becky and Jennifer drive for 3 days from Oregon. Of course, a much more interesting drive, and they do it so they can take their cats Molly and Lucy with them! I think they are going to Mom's in February this year.

tsk, it will be 57 and rainy at Mom's on Christmas Day! No snow going or coming, it's just so unusually warm for this time of year! It sounds like Tim saw the light of possible insulin shots and changed his course dramatically! Hooray for him!

baz, soon you won't have to eat out of a cooler! Yay! I had to look up Miracle Cookies, at first it came up with Miracle Alien Cookies, which is a strain of cannabis. Nope, not the one. Then I found the right one, I think called Miracle Cookies because they contain no flour!  https://www.anallievent.com/miracle-peanut-butter-cookies/

karen, we always have Skier's French Toast for Christmas Breakfast, I have been in charge of making it for years...I make it the night before so all we have to do is pop it in the oven! Here is the recipe, the only thing I do differently is I slice the French bread into 1.5" slices and arrange in the 9x13 pan. https://www.cookingnook.com/recipe/overnight-french-toast/

TSK... on Netflix. We don't subscribe to HBO, etc. but we do get Netflix and we have Prime video on Amazon (which we usually watch at the lake). I have Hulu until after the last season of The Handmaids Tale. LOL. There are a couple things not my favorite. For one thing, apparently he was a chain smoker... and his wife smoked. And they still did after her cancer diagnosis. Reality is tough to watch.

I sharpened my pruners yesterday. My plan is to prune my 3 large clumps of Japanese Forest grass today (I usually do it in Spring).

Morning all!

I shall from here on out remember the solstice for the day that Ollie man sheds the most!...
He of course sheds all the time but these days is insane esp after washing blankets, covers etc. etc. and immediately finding clumps..Yeah, it's that time of year I guess.

Also he had the gaggies early this am...it's like" Mom I have to lick and eat your carpet or anything else I can find until you let me outside to eat grass/leaves"at 4:30am....he prefers snow but no luck this year!

It's been very infrequent lately and have no idea why. I give him pepcid and let him go outside to eat whatever and it passes. Only thing I can think of is I have missing puzzle pieces from a few days back? That or he's licking his hair between his toes too much.

Phyl, which one is Jim?   He must be there with the plane!   Good facts on December celebrations!
Think it is unusual to see two eagles sleeping in the nest together!   Must really be young love!   Saw this on  swfl fb this am!
Lisa, the sausage cake will freeze.  Are you making  Southern Ham biscuits? 
Bl, wonderful reporting on Rutt! Wish he could be tagged!
Tsk, are you having company for Christmas?
Baz nice photo of your family members and the tree in Charlotte!

TIG   Thanks for info.  We don't stream anything.  LOL But I do have prime.

KAREN   Nice peak at SWFL  :)  No company for Xmas but start the day with 9:30 mass.  Tim's dtr in law Amy had her last chemo on Monday for the ovarian CA so she is out of commission for at least two weeks.  We mailed his Grandson's gift...and decided that other than Emmett we would not exchange gifts this year.  Tim sends them a check however ;)

CLYNN  Looks like 2 at Berry college  :D   Snow and it melted.  My kind of winter  ;) ;)

KB   Those mantis varieties are amazing.  Thought the gray cat eye was a stick and was looking for the mantis  LOL

Happy Winter Solstice Day 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!

BL, Winter Solstice at Stonehedge.  :)

Kb, Gorgeous Long-eared Owl... I've seen a Cat-eyed mantis which I always thought was a Stick mantis, but not the others, the Pink Orchid mantis is stunning.

Karen, sweet pic of SWFL  :-*

{{{Clynn}}} I love your darling Christmas family photo!  :-* .... yes, Mike gets his shot in the lower spine tomorrow. I just talked to the doctor's office. No food 8 hours prior to shot and no driving for 24 hours. The french toast looks divine and so does the Peanut butter cookies. I printed recipes for both. I wonder if Aly can have the cookies, there's no flour. Yum. I could bake those today!  ;D ... sweet pic of NEFL eagles and their first egglet, and photo of the Berry nest.... 

Phyl, love Sanderlings!... Winter Solstice celebrations around the world. The Hopi of Northern Arizona is #7 Soyal, Sadie comes from the Hopi Reservation. She was especially watchful on our walk this morning.  ;D ... fun photo, Jim, happy crew and/or friends or all of the above!  ;D

Tsk, I will be so relieved for Mike when he gets his shot. I know this trip has been hard on him. He wouldn't say, but I could tell in his voice at night.

Lisa, I really think you can freeze the cake. I would try it. I've done this for the girls when they wanted a snack after school. I've baked my honey cornbread, brownies, cake, cut the slices and left in the pan. Cover & freeze. They've cut a piece with a butter knife & warmed in the micro. I bet you could pre-slice the bundt cake, place parchment paper between slices, keeping the cake in its shape & moist, cover & freeze.... Mike is returning from Louisiana in late this afternoon. He and Aly will leave for the valley in the morning. His appt for a shot is at 1pm. No food before shot and no driving for 24 hours. Aly will drive him home.... Your Christmas Dinner sounds perfect! You will be to spend lots of TLC time with Sydney, B & K.  ;D. Which is what Christmas is all about {{{Family}}}  ;D

Lani, love your sweet little snowman! Yes, I would call that peanut butter cookie recipe gluten-free!  Boy, I hope Mike feels like a million on Saturday! I went to the store this morning to get the loaf of French bread for the Skier's French Toast and got a loaf of fresh baked sourdough and cranberry walnut breads to take to Mom's, we love having those toasted with our tea first in the morning. Then we switch to coffee! I have Starbucks Sumatra to take, my fave!

karen, are you asking about the Christmas picture? That is me, Ed, Erin and Kelsey, Christmas 1997! 26 years ago!

tsk, I plan to get Acorn TV after Christmas, I am finding too many times that nothing is on that I want to watch or I have already seen it! We have Dish. I need to cut down on computer time, I buy too much!

Looks like the late 60's!

tsk - I would love to own all the pretty mugs I am finding.   ;D 

karen - Awww, sweet...SWFL!  I never thought of biscuits with the ham.  That does sound really good. 

tig - Hope you got your pruning done. 

kb - Yikes, I hope it is not the puzzle piece.  Hope Ollie feels better soon.

BL - Beautiful pic of Stonehenge.

CLYNN  Sourdough cranberry walnut bread toasted - I'm in heaven.  ;D  I must have been distracted by you know who this AM and missed the cute pic and the recipe which sounds great.  Too much sugar for Tim but I would eat it and make it in a heartbeat.   That is a beautiful Tudor - staged perfectly.  Would be well over a million in this neck of the woods!!  Have a safe trip tomorrow.  Do you and Ed share the driving?

LANI    I can so empathize with Mike - struggling to keep up with the day to day and not let the pain get the better of you.

I plan to create a supper including shredded chicken, garlic, cream of chicken soup, mashed potatoes, and veggies.

Unfortunately, crime has increased so badly since 2020, even in that area, they might have a difficult time even after lowering the price? Might be a great bargain soon?...LOL

Had a nice Holiday visit today with ssrl who came bringing gifts.....!!!!
Love the gooshie (sp?) socks for my off and on plantar fasciitis..it feels better already!

The December solstice is when the sun shines above the Tropic of Capricorn at noon. It's a line on a map precisely 22.5 degrees south of the equator — running through Africa, Australia and South America — that marks the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon.

Clynn, OMG, I love your Christmas throwback pic of your family in front of the tree when Erin and Kelsey were little!!   :) :-* :-*  Your Miracle Cookie recipe is almost identical to the one I've used for years. My recipe might be ever slightly more of a miracle, LOL! , because it only has 4 ingredients, instead of 5 and cooks 2 minuttes faster. HAHAHA!!

Here's my ancient version...

Miracle Cookies (Peanut Butter)

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix peanut butter and sugar.
Mix in egg and vanilla.
Shape into balls about 1/2" in diameter - or drop by spoonful, like in your recipe  ;)
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Flatten with fork.
Cook in 350-degree oven about 8 minutes.
Let cool completely before removing from cookie sheet.
Makes about 4 dozen.

They'll burn on the bottom in a heartbeat before you know it - so check them.
I find if I don't let them completely cool, they fall apart when I try to take them off the cookie sheet... just sayin'  ;) :D

Clynn - Love your Christmas photo from 1997!!  Safe travels as you leave tomorrow for your Mom's.  Have a wonderful trip and enjoy Happy holidays!!!

Good Evening Beakers

More info on Iceland...
There is continued evidence of magma refilling, with uplift restarting.  No consensus on what this means or what to expect at this time.
Iceland Volcano Update | Eruption stops but uplift continues   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10x960BctzI

Last night's concert was enjoyed - will not chose that seating area in the future - not old folk friendly.  Hand rails too far apart in the center of steps, could not reach from one section to the next, needing to climb 2 steps without support rail to get to the next one. :(
attached are shot of stage before event started and 2nd during the event.
One of the pieces in the show was a conversation from Chip Davis - He said that when he started his career he had said to many, that he would never write a country song or live in Nebraska.  His first bid hit was "Convoy" (which was cowritten by Billie Dale Fries - aka CW McCall)  He has lived most of his life in Omaha.  Soon after Mannheim Steamroller had their first hit record, he told the record label that he wanted to do a Christmas album - the response was absolutely not - that was the fastest way to kill a career.   He did it anyway - and 40 years later, with a new Christmas album every year - they are the #1 seller of Christmas albums....

The December solstice is when the sun shines above the Tropic of Capricorn at noon. It's a line on a map precisely 22.5 degrees south of the equator — running through Africa, Australia and South America — that marks the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon.


Winter solstice 2023: How to see Jupiter dance with the moon on the longest night of the year

Jupiter and a bright moon will shine together on the winter solstice, which occurs Dec. 21-22 in the Northern Hemisphere.

BTW- First thing I did this morning was check the live feed from the hatchery area.  Left last night with someone (don't know which) being followed around the area by the cam operator.  They did a good job of tracking as night started setting in.  But they did keep the eagle on cam as it settled in for the night (in what tree I don't know because of all the area that it covered before it settled down).

First settled down around 5 pm - I wondered how long it would stay.  Lo and behold, it stayed there all night in the same tree (again, where I couldn't tell).  That means it was there for at least 12 hours!  Making a statement?

Just checked at 6:23 am   -  Still there.  I'm going to follow the saga and watch as the area lights up.

Phyl, beautiful Nativity that you found at Cracker Barrel, they do have some lovely items in their store! A bit of everything, I love browsing there, it's also where I always get my Woodwick candles!  Becky and Jennifer (Oregon) joined a Solstice Walk last night, they decorated candles and walked through wooded area to a valley. I'll ask them today how it was! Busy little Sanderlings! 42 right now, high 52 and rain today. Hopefully we will be on the road by 9:00 (since I told Ed 8:00)! I think you may have posted a picture of Jim some years ago, I did pick him out in the picture, he looked familiar for some reason!

oldguy, glad to hear you enjoyed the concert despite the accommodations! Ongoing issues in Iceland, not a very good Christmas for the villages that have been evacuated.

Lani, safe travels for Mike and Aly today, I hope relief comes quickly for Mike so he can enjoy Christmas with all his girls! Beautiful and puffed out Snowy! Ed and Erin are driving to Wisconsin next Friday to pick up the kittens!

Phyl  Well, whoever it was- they finally left the roosting at 7:08.  Cam person tried to follow but it is still bit dark for certainties.  Looked like it was in the tree barrier to the west of the hatchery raceways.  Took off going east toward the cliffs.  But, as I said, there's still not enough light to be certain.

In the twilight yesterday, actually started moving around at about 4:30, I believe I saw the streak of dark feathers down the back of the head.  Mom?

Time for my banana and english muffin.

LANI   Love snowys!

OLDGUY   Good shots from the concert.  No seat was a bad seat.  Too bad tho about getting to your seat.  Now you know what to expect in the future about the venue.    Chip Davis knew that not all advice is good advice  LOL   Those poor cats with the two boys    :o   That was a great Santi piece.  ;D

CLYNN   LOL  Told Ed 8 AM  LOL  It works tho.   Time will go fast with Mom and then kittens for the New Year  ;D ;D  Safe travels.

Well, made an executive decision to wait till next week to visit gravesite....in doing so I tried to find out how long the wreaths stay up?..never found out for sure but thinking into January.
Furthermore, I read unfortunately they ran out of wreaths for a significant number of graves. Fort Snelling is one of or the largest National Cemeteries in the country with somewhere between 260-290 thousand graves. Number varies depending on which site you read.

They only at last minute had about 15,000 wreaths to lay. It will be interesting to visit when I go and very sad. I couldn't find the reason anywhere. So many sites are now pay-walled it doesn't help.

Fog/mist and rain in the area all morning was the determining factor.

Wow holy cow Kb I had no idea Fort Snelling National Cemetery (http://Fort Snelling National Cemetery) was that big.

Probably a good idea to wait on your visit for nicer weather and I also assume the traffic around MSP is pretty brutal Today.

kb I found this info on their official web site (https://www.cem.va.gov/CEM/cems/nchp/ftsnelling.asp), under Floral /Grounds Policy :

Quote

Christmas wreaths or grave blankets may be placed on graves from November 1st – January 20th. They will be removed after January 20th or when they become withered, faded or otherwise unsightly. Grave floral blankets cannot be larger in size than 2 x 3 feet. They cannot be secured to headstones or marker.

Yes, it's pretty sad how few of the wreaths were available to be placed. Plenty of volunteers, just not enough wreaths.....gad.

The National Cemetery here is much smaller, with about 5,000 graves, which all got wreaths from Wreaths Across America this year - several hundred people showed up here to place them on each grave, and for the special ceremonies that day.

I found this 2-minutes youtube video from a news broadcast in Minn. that reported on the reason for the shortage of wreaths at Fort Snelling this year, with info about where to find additional info at the end of the video:

Lisa, did I miss Jeff's recipe for his peanut butter cookies? They looked so similar to the ones I used to make, that I wondered if it was a similar recipe.  Your Christmas Day ham and apps meal sounds great! Yum!  :D  My mom used to put out sliced ham as part of a Christmas Night buffet at our house for all the immediate family, and some grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins - whoever all could come. It was a tradition at our house every Christmas night for all the years I can remember. She would put out a mixed selection of breads for people who wanted to make a sandwich with their ham - rolls, buns, small soft biscuits, etc., along with small bowls of mayo and multiple types of mustard for people to choose from. All pickup food for people to choose and help themselves to as they liked, including various app-type foods, like you plan to have. But my family seemingly can't eat ham without potato salad, LOL, so Mom always made a batch of that to go with it, for those who wanted it. When I was older, I made it a tradition to bring a bowl of chilled boiled shrimp and a bowl of my cocktail sauce to add to the table.  You're all going to have a wonderful time, and so extra special, too, being Sydney's first Christmas!!   :) :-* :-* :-*

BL, I'm so glad you and Pip and yours are safe and above any flood waters. I saw the pictures last night of the giant ocean waves at the NJ shore!!  Yowza!!  Many tears for the lost lives and their loved ones, and all the people who lost homes and property, or suffered major flood damage, in NJ, PA. NH. ME, NY, and other states in the northeast, from that record-breaking strong storm.

KB   What a great photo of the owl and jay.  :o   Yucky day here as well - Drizzly and windy.  That is so sad about the cemetery wreaths.

BL  Was your friend actually surfing or watching??  Crazy waves - amazing.

BAZI  I love the type of buffet you used to have.  Anyone who does not serve a variety of mustards/horseradish with ham, doesn't understand ham.  It had to be served with potato salad at our family gatherings as well.  Baked beans didn't hurt either.   One gal for my girls party always brings a big bowl of iced shrimp with cocktail sauce. :)

Just finished putting up partial decorations at church for Xmas.  Sunday is still Advent so we will get the altar decorated between noon and 2 for the 3 PM and 5 PM and 10:30 Xmas eve masses - Crazy year for liturgy  LOL

I hope you have some good help, and don't do more than your body should.  Hugs.  :-*  I know the vestibule and sanctuary there is going to be beautiful! Even though I grew up with the simple elegance of the Quaker Church (Society of Friends), I always loved seeing all the beautiful robes, vestments, and other special or sacred fabrics used in other churches and synagogues. I guess you're all going to have to work pretty quickly to get it all done before all the Christmas Eve afternoon and night Masses begin!

Mike was out there surfing that craziness.
He's a total surfing nut since he was knee high.
He has surfed all over the world as I can solidly attest to. 

chill NZ new dude. 

I'm talking way more than a celestial collision of water.   
He lives about 1/2 a block from the beach on 23rd Ave. (https://maps.app.goo.gl/eNwonRcxEGYxevUW7) His grandparents - parents - and now his family have lived on that road since the 40's.   8)
He goes into the shower in his full winter wet suit > with him in it > "fills" it with hot water and runs down to the waves >
Catches a few sets > rinse lather repeat   ;)   :)

He was in his glory I know.
He said it was his best day ever @ the Jersey shore eva ..   8)

I sure hope the wreath you paid for is at Scott's grave site too kb.   :-*

Placing +/- 270,000 wreath's is a heck of a lot of wreaths and volunteers however.

From the #'s I could glean that would be about 68 tractor trailers worth of wreaths from Harrington, Maine to Fort Snelling National Cemetery, MN. (https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/asset/documents/2023_WAA_Media_Guide_Final.pdf)   :o

Could be the pine bows needed are harvested and assembled more locally, like in MN, I don't know.
I didn't really know all that much about NWAA until just today.  :-[

kb I guess as a fellow Naval Squid I will never know because my ashes will directed to be scattered on the 7 Continents I've walked on.

Wherever the toothless salty dog bastard's can reach to let me go to the winds on the planet is just fine with me x 7.  ;D

Even if the harvesting, assembling, trucks, fuel and tolls were paid for via donations the amount of people needed to physically do all of that is just staggering and a beautiful respect to our Veterans.    8) 8) 8) 

How many volunteers to place that many wreathes in one day in say possibly a foot of snow safely??   :o :o 

My brain can't compute that kind of volunteer mobilization.

Does every single veterans internment location deserve a wreath, absolutely, but logistically speaking a massive undertaking for sure.  :)

Good Afternoon Beakers

Another issue this year with wreaths and trees...  Weather conditions over the past several years are starting to take a toll on the trees in northern Minn. and Wisconsin - the number of trees/wreaths harvested were cut a lot - our store normally brought in 850-900 trees for the season - this year it was about 550.  But the prices also went up by a similar percent.  The price increase also effected whether the customer bought a live tree or artificial tree - wee sold out our artificial trees this year - first time in the 6 years I have been at the store.  We still had about 40 live trees left on Thursday morning when the store marked them down to $5 each.  If any remain by Sat morning, they will be free.  A lot of people with ponds will come get 5-10 to create fish habitats.
This would have also effected the number of Wreaths that the organization could buy with the reduced funds and/or how many wreaths the vendors could contribute.

Well, I'm also getting close to the end.  Yesterday was the rough day - my poor old arthritic hands - made the traditional Italian fish salad.  (shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, squid, whitefish, crab, calamari, pollock, soaking in lemon juice, garlic oil, clam juice, and for looking pretty sliced black olives, parsley, octopus).  The hard part that takes the longest and scrunches my hands is the crab, lobster, octopus which has to be broken into/opened up.  Lots of treatment today with warm water and ice filled dishcloths.  Note to self:  "New cracker and knife and scissors for next year."

Tonight is the oatmeal cookies, tomorrow the tassies, Sunday the cucidadi.  Easy peasy!

Monday?  Pig out on duck while O D ing on sports.

I had a friend drop by - briefed me on her open clients just in case - she's leaving January 8 - 24 for her own trip to Oman, Sri Lanka, and Bihar Uzbekistan - I share backup for her/her clients.  Anyway, I had to give credit to her for a fantastic card.  Front pic was of her and husband last February on trip to the Antarctic.  Bundled in appropriate layers, poles, floes and mountains.  Reminder:  Feb is summer at the Antarctic.  That was one super nice pic for remembrances.  BUT the card inside was awesome and inspiring - Huge sized print - Celebrate Jesus!       
Simple and to the point.  WOW

BTW she spent May at the other pole, Arctic Pole's summer.  Hubby said no; he passed on that one.

Enjoy all the celebrating, family, food, we got another year.  Be grateful for all we have and those with whom we can share.  Thank God, Thanks Jesus, Merry Christmas all.

KB, I saw that in that video news report, too. Must have been some sort of unexpected coordination snafu this year. I believe they also mentioned another factor was related to a lack of donations, maybe, if I heard that correctly.  I bet it will be a different story next year.  Too, as BL said, the sheer size of every aspect of that effort for such a large number of grave sites in one place must be overwhelming, to say the least.

You make it the same way as the italian Conch Salad I love so much, that I like to have along with a big plate of linguini with white (clear) clam sauce! Oh gawd... now I'm jonesing for it! And at least one glash of a nice Italian white wine to go with!  ;) :D  Hope your hands recover soon - please be careful. Hugs.  :-* Great stories of travels, cards, and such!  :)

My nephew (the father of my 2 sets of twin "greats") won't be all the way to the North Pole, but he will be close! ... He will be inside the Arctic Circle, in Norway, starting the day after Christmas. I can't wait to hear about his trip, and hopefully, see some of his pics!

Hmm, I get the rationale and all but this has never come close to happening before.

I believe I read Arlington got all their wreaths and they have just a titch fewer numbers than we do.

A big snafu that if I can, intend to get to the bottom of as this is very embarrassing.  If Arlington and others can do it we can too.

I'm sure we've never laid wreaths through WAA on every grave in the past but this number is so low I can't hardly believe it.

To find out: Who is the Coordinator?...the coordinator would also be responsible for donations...and why if donations are down only on this, the first or second largest cemetery in the country? To find out yet is the Coordinator someone at the Fort Snelling Cemetery ie, the VA, or the Governor/State?
I only say Gov/state as he shut down the Cemetery during Covid and is a former National Guardsman.

Whomever/whatever this is not acceptable. Speaks very poorly for Minnesota.

Most embarrassing at the very last minute half of the 15000 were brought by the Patriot Guard out of California....

PUFF   GOLLLYYYYY.  Who is coming to eat that Italian meal - fish salad.?  I would think you would just have the top of the line cracker and scissors for a job you do every year. You just have to take care of your hands.   Does it take you all day?   Had to google cucidadi - Italian fig cookies. YUM    Cool card from your friend.  :)

BAZI   Is your nephew going on business??

LISA   We got some help this year from the men's club - The 5 church trees were up in no time( gym had 2) .  There are no men in the Art and Environment ministry but our leader put out a call for volunteers and about 5 guys including one of our deacons were there today!!!  She was amazed. ;D

Wow!   I have seen those storms up close and personal  in my disaster working days .
Talked with folkd who had a house that was washed out to sea!   Theres and a whole neighborhood was under water!  Streets, telephone poles etc!   Never did hear what the resolution of that was as I was reassigned.  This was
Close to Atlantic   City.  You all stay safe and as Gov Christy once said, Stay off or, get off the damn beach!  Lol, too cool!
 Lisa, you can buy those red lobdter rolls frozen at Sams, Walmart and other places, I am sure!  Comes with the butter mixture they  use!
Lani, hope Mike is home and feeling like a bite or two to eat.

Lots of those buried in Military cemeteries are probably without living family members due ti age!   I do not. Ever recall a fund drive for this  and since it is not a Veterans Holiday they are in competition with many other fund. Drives for toys for tots , food for families. Etc.   no disrespect meant.. 
i do not think I won my war with ups but my package was delivered to my friend in Pprtland, Oregom this afternoon!

I went to the Home this afternoon and delivered a bag of amaretta chocolate coated pecan halves to the nursing sirector!  He was pleased to see me walking without a walker as. Were all who were in the area!  Excited to have the pecans!  Told them I was not there to check in but wished them a Merry!   Fun a just a tad show offy!
Puff , love your salad exceot for the
E squid, octopus and tge other rubbery sea thing!  When I stop in for some do you mind if i pick that part put?   Lots of work you are doing. 
Lori, check in and let us know how it all went!
Baz, you are a walking machine!   Tsk, if you wore a pedometer you might be surprised at the amount if exercise  you are getting! 
All be good!  Santa is watching!

well, tsk It does take the better part of a day because of the time cutting/cubeing the fish down.  The calamari alone takes a slow simmer to get it soft to chew, an hour.  Then, the tenticles another slow simmer so the "ink" doesn't do too much of a dye job on the tube (round) white body meat.  Each fish has its own problem to work around.

The new tools should make things easier.  Ton never fought like I have to; big, strong hands.  There's another reason he should have hung around a wee bit longer.

All total I'd guess about 3 or 4 gallons of salad; basically its about 1 pound of each fish.  It usually stays good into January about a week.  Then it gets a little strong.  Also, make up/give out ziploc containers to the fav neighbors.  Some just automatically wrinkle the nose and say no thank you.  More for me.  But yes, an all day process.

There's a lot of grinding for the cuchidadi fruits - I have a good electric grinder for that.  Not hard but takes a lot of time for the different steps.  Again, extra hands means it wouldn't take as long.  Ton wasn't as thrilled with them; one every once in awhile.  Keep them in freezer, keep a few at a time in the  fridge.

They're like fig newtons on steroids.  Two cups of tea and 1 cuchi makes for an adequate breakfast.  Bad Puff - I think I mentioned last year that I'd send a sample.

PJ is a very smart cat, remembered his way home and he knows how to turn on the lights! LOL! He looks like a cat that could quickly be trained.... thanks for more info on the Wreaths.

Phyl, sweet RRP blog video of DH2 in dream state. Beautiful nativity.

Puff thanks for your observations of the Decorah cam. I wonder what eagle that was.... oh my, Bless you, you are amazing! What delicious food! I'm following Baz to your home!  ;D

Clynn, kittens are adorable  :-* .. beautiful morning Christmas pics.. Merry Christmas and safe travels!  :-*

Karen, I have Paperwhites too. They are just starting to bloom.

Kb, darling capture of Grey Owl and bird.... probably best to wait for a better day to visit Fort Snelling National Cemetery. I didn't realize it was that big. It's too bad they didn't have enough wreaths, but what a blessing they are.... beautiful owl, I hope it can be rehabbed and released... I'm sure the wreath you bought for Scott will be there.  :-*

BL, thanks for info for Kb.... huge waves off the Jersey shore! Sad for those dealing with the aftermath from the storms.  :( ... I knew someone had to ride those waves. Glad it was his best day on Jersey Shore! I just read Karen's comment about staying off the beach!  ;D

Lisa, Thanks for Jeff's cookie recipe!  ;D

Baz, didn't realize so many states were affected by the storm.  :'( ... your family had a wonderful Christmas traditions and memories.  :-* I love ham and potato salad too ... Love your post to Tsk. My prayers for your beautiful family too, and to you and Zippo.  :-*

Tsk, As always you have been busy, and you say you're not getting enough exercise! LOL! And so giving of yourself to so many. I'm so glad you're feeling well, after some difficult months earlier this year. My prayers for Amy and for your beautiful family continued healing, comfort and health.  :-*

Hi Bggolden! So glad to see you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!  ;D

Karen, glad your friend received your package.... Two of Aly's gifts haven't arrived. I guess I'll print a pic of each and wrap in a box.  :) .. you're a hoot!  ;D

It was a long rainy day, and much needed moisture.... Careful driving through it on the Beeline to the valley.... Mike received his shot and was able to sit comfortably again. He really did not look well when he returned home yesterday. But, he moved much better tonight. He went to bed early. Thank you All for your concerns for Mike.  :-*.... I started rushing about and was in town for grocery shopping by 8am. Went to Bank, Post Office, and decided to go with Mike and Aly to the valley....  Payson residents try to beat the holiday travellers going through our town on Highways 87 and 260... The traffic on the main highways through our town was crazy today, and will be through the weekend. And you add rain, that probably turns to snow in the higher elevation it's a dangerous time for travelers. I took a short cat nap to finish my post tonight.  ;D

Good night!

LOLOL, Karen and BL!!!  I remember that admonishment from a NJ Governor back when Hurricane Irene was heading for a NJ landfall!!  ;D  I mean, really! they had maximized their tans!   ;D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHy6S5u7M3w - August, 2011


Karen, you saw some awful devastation and sadness up close and personal.  Sorry about your battle with UPS, but I'm glad your package made it to your friend in Oregon. Your pecan treats sound delicious! I know the nursing staff at the Home appreciate your thoughtfulness and will enjoy them!

BL, that is odd!  :D ;)  Well, if you had much of a layover at the right time today, you could've hopped it on down to one of the area beaches and joined Jim Cantore, of The Weather Channel, who was guest bartending and slinging Hurricanes and other libations at one of the Tiki Bars, along with one of our local meteorologists - for a fundraiser for a dog rescue and rehab organization.  He's in our area fairly often, but usually when you see him on one of our beaches, it's bad news, weatherwise.

TSK, my nephew is going to Norway on a solo vacation. He has some wonderful activities planned during his days there.

Phyl, yes, my post about Jim looking the same was exactly because I recognized it as the same photo I had seen before! It was a joke!!  ;)  Hugs to you and Jim, and wishes for you both to be feeling better.

Hi BGGOLDEN! Merry Christmas to you, too, and wishes for all the best in the New Year. Hugs, and take care.  :)


Good night, Beakers. Sleep well. Peace.

Lani, you posted while I was working on my post. I'm so glad you and Mike and Aly had a successful trip, and Mike is sitting better now, too. I thought about your trip today, knowing about the heavy rain and your stories of the traffic through there, and even more so with the holiday travel. Hugs. Sleep well, and I hope you all can have a lazy morning and relaxing day, enjoying being home together  :).

Local photgrapher Eric Sherman got this amazing shot last weekend (Sat. 12/16).
From his Facebook post: “I was able to sneak out to the woods for a couple hours this afternoon and once again I was in the right place at the right time. This beautiful Canada Lynx is my 12th of the year.”

Cool!....morning all on this day before Christmas Eve.

So foggy here this am...as yesterday morn, but thicker. Weather app says to be foggy till at least 11am.
It's my day to walk Ollie so perhaps a little later than normal this morning, Ollie.
I think record setting high today for this date of 50..Yah!

My family has a life time history of celebrating Christmas mostly on Christmas day and eve...Christmas Day was always for more reflecting and quiet...other than as kids opening Santa's gifts that morning. But really tomorrow is our Day...

In contact with the sponsor of my wreath to hopefully discover more. But, with the holiday near, any substantive findings will probably happen down the road.

GOOD XMAS CATURDAY WEEKEND EVERYONE

BGGOLDEN   So good to see you and happy to have you join us everyday, perching  :)

KAREN   Glad your friend got the package - Phew!  You have seen some of the worst in our disasters... :'(    What a fun experience at the Home  LOL  You deserve to show off as you have come a long way since those days.

PUFF   So no relatives will stop by?  or are those days long gone?   Let me know when BL/Pip arrive.  ;) ;)

PHYL   No altar society at our church - It is an art and environment ministry.  sigh.   Love that porch angel.  Lots of good posts this AM   ;D ;D ;D

LANI   You were lucky to make it through your morning errands in one piece.  Always a mess here with long line and not enough staff esp at the grocery.  My gas station of which I am a loyalty member is offering any size free coffee today - No gas required  LOL  So glad Mike is more comfortable and should improve with the days coming up.

BAZI  The 2011 clip of Christie was so funny...Hope your nephew sends pics  ;D

T40   ;D ;D ;D   Cats talking - I must listen better to Lulu  LOL    North Sea -  :o :o :o :o   Nathan  ;D ;D ;D ::) ::)

Hi {{Karen}} I hear ya on all fronts...the longer one lives and all that.    Say, I like that 'felt' Christmas tree on your fridge in you kitchen---I think that's what it was.  :-\   Golly---ages since I ate corn on the cob. Folks always had in w/ BBQ

KB thanks loads for the C. Lynx.  If I read your post correctly---I quite agree w/how you celebrate Christmas.   OMGosh! Another 'Now I've seen everything' moment---that dachshund.

Tig  happily agree on the dachshund.

Tsk cool 'Merry  Catmas.  Okay think I understand now about your churchs "mission' ( for lack of better word  ::))  I loved working in the Alter Society at our old church. We did so much in and out of the church.  Your church is most blessed to have you as a working member.  You need Christmas CDs / DVDs to play.   IMHO
 Like the puzzle---don't think I saw Lulu in it though?

Lisa wondered the same Re: BLs post  we're out of EWR via ILM---all I got was the LOL 'Not  Gordon as in 'Gordon's fish sticks and fillets'

Lani sweet of Mike to fill the girls 'stockings'. Mom helped Dad on that---one thing he always gave me a 'Book of Life Savers' candy.  Too big to fit in my stocking actually---he wrapped them.  Remember them?
I loved getting those and miss them lots. I inturn gave him  boxes of Queen  Chocolate covered  Cordial cherries---milk chocolate. Boxes all wrapped seperatetly of course  ;D  Jim is off the same tree on those.
Just love the kitten in the stocking wearing Santa hat.

Bazi LOL remaining lives. Luv kitty's expression too. Got the joke Christmas Adam---Eve and all that.

Oh my, y'all... Karen, you were on the right track, and then you veered waaay off course, LOL.

EWR is the airport code for Newark, NJ, and ILM is the airport code for Wilmington, NC.

TSK and Karen, sometimes you may notice me posting something like, "What she said."  That's kind of like saying "Word." Also, "Werd" is just a take-off intentional misspelling of "Word," but it means the same thing, as in, "I agree."  "Werd" is to "Word," as "Werk" is to "Work."    :D

Karen, your shrimp and corn-on-the-cob dinner sounded yum!


Good Night, All.  :)

Lani - Dinner was delicious, and also very carby, so I skipped lunch.  We had the onion basket for a starter.  Jeff had a half smoked chicken platter, and I had the Delta catfish platter.  I had my fingers crossed that my blood sugar would not be high, after all that fried food.  It was 144, not too bad!

kareng  Tsk gave out good info - ORD indeed does stand on land that was formerly an orchard.

Bonus answer: Midway MDW was given to the airport during WWII honoring those who faught in the battle of Midway.

Many connected side facts: We lived within 1/2 mile off of Runway 4L.  My Dad ended up taking flying lessons, got his license at Midway.  Other related factoid - Dad was a welder.  He got a job in SF working on modifying the decks of the Enterprise to handle to equipment/planes.  Was top secret - it just hit me, I wonder what happened to the old (very old) pictures of the inside work he did and had pictures as a keepsake.

Puff, Thanks for sharing your dad's work on the USS Enterprise. We were privileged to see the Enterprise, awesome ship! After your post I looked up to see when it was decommisioned.

Enterprise was deactivated on 1 December 2012 at Norfolk Naval Station, Virginia. The deactivation of Enterprise resulted in a one-time increase of approximately $857.3 million in depot maintenance costs for the U.S. Navy's operation and maintenance budget for Fiscal Year 2013.

Enterprise was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be decommissioned.Naval enthusiasts requested that Enterprise be converted into a museum. By 2012 this was deemed too expensive to make such an effort practical, in addition to the fact that the ship would need to be partially dismantled anyway to remove the eight reactors safely.[ A petition was also set up for the next carrier to be named as the ninth USS Enterprise. At her inactivation ceremony, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced that the next Gerald R. Ford-class carrier, CVN-80, would be named Enterprise.

The final disposal plan for Enterprise was a long and complicated process. The carrier had eight reactors and numerous compartments contaminated by radiation and therefore could not be used as a target ship in a SINKEX or live-fire training sinking exercise. The Navy set up a new office to organize the disposal of Enterprise and the coming retirement of the Nimitz-class carriers. Ultimately it was decided to use a commercial facility to break the ship up, with scrapping to begin in 2025. The process is anticipated to take five years.

The decommissioned Enterprise alongside her replacement, USS Gerald R. Ford, at Newport News, July 2018

Family secret on the oatmeal cookies Lisa.  It really isn't much of a secret, though.  Everyone who has a Betty Crockett big cookbook will not doubt have it.  Personally, I use her Cooky Cookbook.  (Notice the spelling they use for cooky?  Niece found that to be a gas.) 

OK, what you do before you start the recipe is to start the raisins.  A full cup of raisins that get even fuller because you simmer them is a cup of water for about 1/2 hour.  Save the left over liquid.  Don't waste/pour out the liquid left.  Use that left over simmer water to add whatever to get 1/2 cup mixed.  You'll mix in the raisin mixed water later in the recipe.   Capisce?

P

BTW Michigan or Minnesota?

Hello Beakers!

(https://cache.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/344924-Red-Ornament-Christmas-Eve.jpg)

We got to Moms Friday evening around 5:30, droppd Kelsey off and headed for the ER in Evansville, In. About 3 hours into our trip I blinked my left eye and poof! the vision in that eye was gone. After 3 hours in the ER and a consult with an ophthalmologist we went back to Mom's with a 9:00 appointment with that same Dr for him to determine what happened with my eye. Turned out to be Central Retinal Artery Occlusion. I have a small amount of vision at the far left edge of my left eye, but mostly just seeing out my right eye. The Dr sent test results to my primary and my eye Dr with referral to the Wolfe Clinic in West Des Moines. They have 2 retinal specilalists there. There is nothing that can be done right now but the Wolfe Clinic is the place to go in IA. Hopefully there is something, and mostly to try to determine what caused this, to prevent it from happening to my other eye.

So there is my  Holiday News!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve! I willl pop back in tomorrow!

Well, I'm also getting close to the end.  Yesterday was the rough day - my poor old arthritic hands - made the traditional Italian fish salad.  (shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, squid, whitefish, crab, calamari, pollock, soaking in lemon juice, garlic oil, clam juice, and for looking pretty sliced black olives, parsley, octopus).  The hard part that takes the longest and scrunches my hands is the crab, lobster, octopus which has to be broken into/opened up.  Lots of treatment today with warm water and ice filled dishcloths.  Note to self:  "New cracker and knife and scissors for next year."

Puff, wow!  All that yummy food you're making! I'm coming to your house!! I would kill for some of your Italian Seafood Salad!! You make it the same way as the italian Conch Salad I love so much, that I like to have along with a big plate of linguini with white (clear) clam sauce! Oh gawd... now I'm jonesing for it! And at least one glash of a nice Italian white wine to go with!  ;) :D  Hope your hands recover soon - please be careful. Hugs.  :-* Great stories of travels, cards, and such!  :)

baziunc we're out of EWR via ILM up to Puff's house oddly enough tonight .. we'll split the miles.

-edit to decode-   ;)
I was joking with Puff and Baziunc that Pip and I will be leaving Newark International Airport (EWR) with a layover at Baz's local airport, Wilmington International Airport (ILM) and heading to Puff's house (MDW) for her Italian Seafood Salad !   :) ;D

Truth be told I'm American mix:  German/Russian, Irish, Cherokee, oh yes and Italian.  Ton and his mom both 150% Italian.  Mom was the chef, worked a couple restaurante, part owned a couple, was frequently requested for cooking special to-dos.  Her fish recipe I was sworn not to talk about - don't want any secret visitors.   8)  So unlike Betty Crocket I won't be talking about that recipe. 

But it is Goooooooood.  Two neighbors already came by when I told them the salad is ready.  Guests at neighbors' respective dinners tonight or tomorrow will not be offered any.  She did have a respected name/reputation.  Good thing is "Supreme" knew her and Ton, and me now.  (Supreme is main purveyor of fish products in greater Chgo.)   

My main contribution to their enterprises was the Ricotta Cheese Cake.  Only 800 calories for what I would call a tiny piece.  Here's a cool idea - A ricotta cake with the pizza for ATF?

tsk We (parents) lived on Keating, one block over from Cicero.  There were 4 main runways, two running NE to SW and two across in X pattern SE to NW.  These were the runways taken by commercial, larger equipment. There was a shorter runway across the field N to S. Then it basically had nothing for 8 (?) years.  They made all the options longer and brought in/back the busy.  It truly is a big airport now.  Terminals moved over to the east side of Cicero.

Times change - I remember when Midway was 1 mile square.  Outgrew its britches.  And then started  the growth of O'Hare.  My guess - ORD is close to 10 miles square.  BL do you know?

Looks mighty busy there this eve.

We were crazy when there and young BL.  We like to scare ourselves by going up to the barrier fence (can you imagine a huge TWA Constellation coming down at you while you were looking through the wrong end of a set of binoculars?  My brothers threatened me that I couldn't go home until I did it.

Plus, imagine an ordinary chain link fence being the only thing midway between me and the  touchdown. Jeepers!  But my brothers loved me.   :P  And I knew they'd never go back home without me!

Stayed in the area when I married.  Moved to quiet, undeveloped Darien in '71.

Lucky guess BL.

I'll bet some might think make up some this "stuff".  Here's another anecdote.  Just by chance I moved into a town that became a town 2 years earlier, 1969.  Half a mile down the road, just a two lane road, is an airport kinda/sorta.  It has a specific designation, I think it is a residential/aeronautic development.  I am guessing maybe 20 lots where next to the house is the garage and next to the garage is a possible hanger.  Not sure how many have a plane/license; I'm sure though that they have $$$$$$.  When Dad came to visit us there was equal time devoted to visit the guys down the road.

Oooh no Clynn!   I hate to read about your eye!  Particularly when you are away from home and immediate assistance!  Prayers for you as you navigate the dos and don't of keeping the other eye safe!  Hope you can find a little  cheer and joy thru the holiday.  Are you leaving for home Tuesday?  I forgot!

As a you g kid, Midway was the only game in town for a commercial flight!  Planes flew right over our house!  The neighbors used to sit in some one’s back yard, sometimes with the sprinkler on to cool down,(called it green lake) and always had to pause conversations when the planes came over!  Lol.  Before tge latest revival of Midway there was a lot of talk about moving it with many locations, including Indiana , suggested!  Since there was never  an agreement. Midway stayed where it has always been! 
Tsk,   I am surprised st the renaming of Old Orchard but many of the original stores have gone out of business.  Many Malls are housing a lot of different kinds of merchants than those in the past!
Jackie, from across the street , her two boys and theirs 6 month old male Pomeranian, skiperke  came for a visit!  We sat  on the patio and watched these two black pups run and play, rest and do it over again!   Very funny!  I gave her a collar like Pipers  and  for them,  some candy!  Piper is exhausted and said entertaining is difficult and tiring!  Temperature was perfect, about 70!
Had a delicious dinner tonight!  Crab cakes, salad,   Cheddar Bay biscuit
 and broccoli.    Tomorrow is Prime, rib steak, potatoes au gratin  and something green!   By the looks of it I will have several meal out of this and then maybe a lot of slim fast  or something!
Pope Benedict is truly quite hysterical.  Hope all have a peaceful evening and a good sleep!  Do not forget to leave the milk and cookies out for Santa?   Oops. Baz great family pictures!   Thanks!  Seds

Prayers and hugs are sent for comfort, healing and may you find some Christmas joy with your loved ones around you.

Baz, It may have been a short walk today, but what a joyous one it was! Christmas Cheer was enjoyed by all during your walk!  ;D ... awww LGN, I hope she had a great visit by the Tooth Fairy! Little Bro has the most gorgeous red hair!  ;D ... great pics.... Take care, I pray the rain stays away!

Tig, sorry about your fudge, I bet they're delicious! Aly had a hard time with her Pecan Bars, trying to make them no-gluten is a bit different, Mike and I think they're decilous.

BL sounds like a great evening for you, Pip and  Kopje  ;D

Emy, I'm surprised it's not snowing in. your little corner of the world.

Karen, glad you and Piper had an enjoyable Christmas Eve with neighbors.

Merry Christmas Puff, BL, Tsk, and All!

KB cute Christmas greeting today. Indeed for the child in all of us.

Hi Emyrauld hoping your  Christmas will still be special.  And, who knows it may yet snow your way.

Very curious kareng - you make a lot of mentions of the city and neighborhoods in Chgo where I spent between 1956-1971.  Actually grew up for about 8 years on north side of city - now trendy old town.  We got out because things seemed to be going downhill.  Spent a lot of early teens at North Avenue Beach.  Outcome for Old Town - put facades on the buildings and yuppies took over. You know what that means $$$$$.

Anyway we went south and west to Midway area.  Grade school = Mark Twain    High School = Kelly High School   College = Chicago Teachers College  Career = CPS Teacher 30 years.  Left the city (except for occasional White Sox Game) in 1971 for the big west DuPage County, Darien.  Travel Advisor now, here, for about 30 years.

Ooooops, we aren't suppose to post personal info.  :-\  At least I didn't post my address.  But I just wanted to pin down our close history.  It sounds like we just missed each other?  Tsk is even not far, far away; 15 miles?

And, a most joyous and blessed day to you and your families.
 With love, Jim, Phyllis and Maggie, too.

Tsk    Re: 'Why not happen?' Yes it is interesting.   

{{{CLynn}}} so nice to hear from you this morning. Thank you for the Christmas greeting. Sure hope you're doing, at least, some better. Wishing you a blessed Christmas with your mom, Ed and Kelsey.

Tig I always thought fudge a 'tricky' confection to make. I've never made the stuff ...So-to-speak,  you will ever be one up me. LOL  :-*

Lori tks for the special Christmas greetings.
Y'all thanks for the Merry Christmas greetings.


BTW: 'Pope Benedict' kitty wasn't posted for laughs, etc.

LISA   Can't wait to hear how Christmas went with B&K&S today  ;D

PUFF  Thanks - I couldn't think of the company at the time.  Westfield

CLYNN   Merry Christmas - Hope you are hanging in there.

LANI    I thought I recognized David Archuleta in the Angels song.  Loved him on AGT.   That was a great piece by the Piano Guys.   Another great choice with Let There Be Peace... :)   Loved the picture too. :)   Beautiful prayer, LANI  :'(

KB   LOL  "That's the spirit"

LORI   Loved your awesome Xmas greeting this AM  ;D

Off to Barb and Tom's at 3  - She offered to cook us dinner - YAY

Merry Christmas Beakers!     Wonderful greetings from all!   Rain here this morning but it seems to have stopped and the sun almost seems to be breaking through!
The two Christmas  Days I spent in Viet Nam were sunny and warm!  Lani probably experienced the same. Growing up!   The militarydid a great jon of providing Holiday food for staff and patients!  We, the r staff at the hospital made Christmas trees out of okd Readers Digests, folded and spray painted green!  Each patient had one on their bedside table!  We passed out red cloth ditty bags filled with soap in a plastic
box, a  red wash cloth, a paper back book  a greeting card  andother toiletries!   Some times little things mean a lot!
Tig,  at the army hospital in Colorado Sorings some of our volunteers ran a xandy kitchen!  They made fudge once a week!  Ambulatory patients would help or sit in our kitchen with a coffee and talk.  A little like home!   Anyway, try to melt your fudge a little and put it on Ice cream.  Iam sure the taste is wonderful.  A hot fudge sundae!    Bbl.  Going out to enjoy a bit of sun.

KAREN   I enjoy hearing about your times in the Red Cross.  You certainly got creative with what you had for the patients.
Like the Colorado Springs story about the candy kitchen - " little like home"

Merry Christmas to All!  :)



Lisa, great pics of you and Sydney!!  I love your matching grins!  :D  And what a cute idea for the Santa sack!   :)  :-* :-*   I'm glad you all had a wonderful day.  :)  She likes you! She really likes you!!  ;) :D  (a la Sally Field at the Oscars... LOL!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl_NpdAy3WY



It sounds like everyone enjoyed their Christmas Eve and Day, and enjoyed some special treats, too.  :)

I didn't have any beignets, so I had pecan pie and cafe au lait for breakfast, LOL, the Christmas morning breakfast of champions.  ;)  I walked 41 minutes.  I walked to the big, wide-open tall-brown grassy marsh, and I got a major treat!!  I got there just in time to see an Osprey in mid-hover, down low, snaring a fish in the marsh, not very far in front of me! and then flying off with it!!  I watched to see where it went, in case I might discover its "home" tree, or such. But it flew waaay down to the far end of the marsh from where I was, and into, or past, a stand of trees in the distance there, and so I could not see where it landed, so far away.  I have seen an Osprey fish a few times in the retention pond next to my building before, but not in over a year now, so I was stoked to see that Osprey today! Just thrilled to see that on my walk today.   :-*



Good Christmas Night, All. Peace. SED.

Tsk, oh I do love a good grilled rib steak! And Like you I can make a couple of meals out of mine, with a few bites for Miss Sadie  ;D ...  David Archuleta has a beautiful voice, he was my  favorite on American Idol too.... I hope you and Tim had a fun dinner with Barb and Tom.

{{{Lori and Destini}}} beautiful Christmas posts. I hope you and Destini had a lovely Christmas. And best wishes for your grandmother, dad and family. 

Karen, I loved reading about your Red Cross days in Viet Nam. I imagine a few of those young men/women were from Hawaii, maybe even my high school. Bless you and the RC for giving them a little bit of home and lots of TLC....  I've melted down a sad looking batch of fudge and served over ice cream. And family members loved it and asked for the recipe! LOL!!  ;D

Tig, I bet your fudge is delicious.

Oh Lisa, you and Sydney look beautiful and so happy!!!  ;D :-* ... awww, the sweet Angel in the Santa Sack is a winner! It needs to be framed and sent to family members! Your mom would love it!  ;D :-*

Baz, Awesome to see an osprey catch it's meal! Talons crossed that you might find it's home. you're in its territory for sure! What an great Christmas gift!  ;D

She loved tearing the wrapping paper on the presents.  I do have to say, BL's drum kit suggestion was a big hit with Bradley and Sydney.  She loved watching Bradley beat the drums, but Kelly said, this gift needs to stay here.   ;D ;D  I was like no way, that is a prezzie for your house!  And, Sydney loved her car I got her!

Morning all and yes it will be hard not to think of today as Monday..

Lisa - cute pictures esp for me the Santa Sack one.

Raining lightly still but should end today after around 2 1/2 days of very needed rain here so that makes me happy..

A little worried when I think of Rutt hanging out in the NW are of MN with a 2 day ice storm event.
Ice isn't good for any living thing, plant or animal. And, to the west of that a true blizzard.

Tired this Tuesday. Camper's family Christmas gathering of 5 hours last night included authentic homemade tacos and 21 folks exchanging and strategizing white elephant gifts. Camper and I returned home and exchanged gifts that, unbeknownst to each other, had a red cardinal theme. A very merry Christmas with family and music and blessings.
Yay for rain instead of snow.... another blessing.

Our Gophers play in a bowl game this afternoon....

Good Morning Beakers!   Not only Tuesday but Boxing Day in all places in the united Kingdom!   Time to box up and return the presents that do not fit or suit you for other reasons!   Be sure to keep the receipts!
Cloudy but our last warm day for a while!  Will be 71 this afternoon and then a gradual cool down!
Tsk have cooked a prime rib fir Christmas a few times and also made Yorkshire pudding with it.  Love that dinner! Have half of my steak in the refrigerator along with potatoes  au gratin and green beans!  So good and fattening!   Have plans to make Chili for  New Year’s Eve and Day!   Enough about food as I have gained about 4-5  pounds since Thanksgiving!
Lisa, Sydney looks much older than she is and is so tuned in to things!   So cute!
Baz, good on seeing the osprey!  Nice walk!
Where is old guy?

KB have been to the breathtaking Monument Valley in my childhood. The entries in the contest I'll say , for me, a tie between Joshua Tree National Park, California and  Zion National Park, Utah  Tks for sharing.   I've been wondering about Rutt too.  WERD, freezing temps aren't good for any living thing.

I only mentioned .christmas in the jungle to say tgat Christmas spirit prevails akl over the world for celebrants and that snow is not prevalent in many places!   I will admit that on some of tge hottest days of tge year there and here in .south Georgia. A little snow to take the edge off of the heat would be very welcome!  Lol

Lani, speaking of melted things, I once made Christmas dinner for friends and had the same stuff you make for a traditional Thanksgiving meal.   Instead of cranberry sauce from a can I made a cranberry jello salad  using the can of whole berry sauce and pineapple!   To be fancy I used fresh pineapple, forgetting that would not gel!   Anyway, I needed something red and a tad tart so I poured it into a silver bowl and put a ladle in it!   One of the guests, a husband of a friend was putting this on everything and raving about it!   This guy was a world traveller and he was married to a good cook!  I just said it was a cranberry  mixture!    How could I say it was melted jello!   Too funny!

Tsk, Yummy Prime Rib! ....  tonight it's leftover turkey/dressing for me! Shannon gave Mike two tickets to tonight's KU vs UNLV Bowl game in Phoenix, with parking spot close to arena! I'm staying home and watching from the comfort of our cozy warm home. Mike and Aly will go. Though Mike didn't tell Shannon it may be uncomfortable sitting on those hard seats. And I'm worried about the walking and josling about for him....  But, he's so excited. ;D Aly will drive home after the game. It'll be a two hour drive to and from the valley. Our furry family and I will keep the lights burning for their return. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!   8) ... Enjoy your lunch with the girls... Will Barb/Tom sell their Naples home after this trip? You mentioned they were considering it.

Mike's in the kitchen having a little bowl of turkey/tators/gravy/jellied cranberry!

Tig, yummm!  And... a big, fun family crowd! ... Name tags, please!!   ;) :D :D

TSK, I cooked a ribeye steak for Christmas, too!  Like you, my steak leftovers will make 2 more meals, but my leftovers are in the freezer!! LOL. It was yummy, but way big!  :D

Camper and I were blessed to visit their home in California in 2018. The husband passed soon after and she has been in memory care for a couple of years. They had a good life.
I'm sad.

LANI   What a wonderful surprise for Mike from Shannon.  If they got a pretty close parking space, I bet Mike will do OK.  Long ride back and forth.  Go KU.  I agree with Bazi - maybe a seat cushion would help?   Well it seems Barb and Tom may not sell this year after all, but let's say it is likely to be in the back of their minds.  I suspect, Tom might have changed his mind because his recent scans showed the melanoma he had treatment for in his arm about a year ago now has not spread so he might feel relieved about that.

BAZI   Festive vs confused.  I had to tell myself all day today that it was Tues!   It has become very obvious that the older I get the less it takes to fill me up.  By some odd and unknown to me medical phenomena - I do not lose weight with less food  ::) ::) ::) 

TIG   I would be sad too.   HUGS

Tomorrow is another day.  ;D

Baz, Mike said seats were comfortable. They were in row 17 on the 40 yard line and behind the players. And they are in Chase Arena where the Arizona Diamondbacks play, it's a covered arena. So it was very comfortable. They were surrounded by Kansas fans!!! Mike felt at home  ;D :-* They realized at half time they wouldn't get home until 1am. Aly has to work at 8:30am tomorrow. They are returning home and listening to the game on the radio. What a game! The refs are tough! .... Yes, Tomorrow is another Day!  ;D

Kb, stunning photos! #13 Sunlight patterns would make a great puzzle too! Very hard.

{{{Tig}}} I'm sorry, I would be sad too  :-* .... congrats on Gophers great win. What a game! 

Lisa, very happy for B & K, and kitties that they love their new home.  :-*

Tsk, I remember you saying Barb would have a hard time leaving her Naples friends and life there.... I'm glad for Tom's good scans that continues to give them the choice to spend their winters in Naples.

T40, we love to watch the old Carson shows.

Phyl 1960's magazine cute! Interesting LiveScience article.

Hugs Tig! Thanks for staying up! Jayhawks won! And Mike and Aly walked in the last 19 secs!  ;D :-*

Oldguy, Eagles, and Clynn, thinking of you both!

Good night! Heading off to bed with my pup, and cats following close behind.

Hi Karen     and Good Morning.  I went with the 'Nature's Own Perfectly Crafted Bread' because it's on a BOGO sale this week. But, you are correct, Publix bakery has some great breads and baked goods.  Hope you and Miss Piper are well.
Gosh-a-mighty- it's chilly this AM.


I wonder if anyone else got their Social Security notice on the increase coming next month. It's not much for me, but it'll help
The bills for the ER are beginning to come in the mail.  I'll wait for a while longer before I trumpet  the amount.

My brain thought CLynn said a Wednesday return---she did say Ed and Erin were going this(?) Friday to collect the Siamese kittens to bring home. ???   ???


Lisa tires and all will be an all day experience  :(  Or near about.

Hi Oldguy


Came in here to boot up the PC and found a puddle of 'barf' on the carpet in front of the shredder. Now I have to check out the rest of the house!   :( >:( :(

This is Alaska and I assume many of us have already seen these types of pics from there. But still, LOL.

As regards to the tv miniseries Dr. Death.

These are based on true stories and the reality is much worse than these tv series based them on.
Last year was about a Doc in the US and he is in jail like forever.

This years series also true, based on a Swiss surgeon and believe it or not only sent to jail for about 2 years.
The reality is there are sociopathic physicians out there and they knew what they were doing for money and/or fame would kill patients . The other sad fact is how long it took to stop them and the real life barriers not implemented early on.

Sun is partially out here for the first time in days!..

I often feel a little confused, bored, and /or blue just following Christmas...so looking forward to the New Year.

Does Shannon stay the night on Christmas Eve, or does she drive from the valley on Christmas Day? We will leave for Mom's on the 22nd and return on the 27th.

Still at the dealership waiting for the tires and oil change, but thought I would pop in.

tsk - I have 59,959 miles on my tires.  Jeff drove it to work one rainy morning, and he said, you need new tires, as they are not gripping the road too good.  The service adviser did tell me last time I was here in July, that I would need new tires at next oil change.  My next oil change is due at 60,300...close enough.

kb - Love that pic.

Phyl - Yes, an all day thing.  I have been here for a few hours already.  Laptop design...lol  Thanks for the 365.

karen - To add to my comment to tsk, Jeff wanted me to get the new tires, as I will be taking a week long trip to Mama's near the end of January.  She is having surgery, and will be in hospital for a few days, and I want to be with her while she is there. 

((clynn)) - Have a safe trip home.

(((CLYNN))) Smooth travels home today! I saw that Des Moines is expecting light snow showers today, but not any significant accumulation, except maybe a dusting on grass and such. Hope the weather is good to you along your roads home.  :)

Lani, congrats to the Jayhawks! What a game!!! I watched till midway through the 3rd quarter, and then I had to hit the sack, since it was after midnight my time by then. But I recorded it and the show after it so I could see the ending this morning. WOW!!! I agree with you - the refereeing was  :o :o  LOL. Glad Mike was comfortable at the game. They had GREAT seats!! I looked for them in the crowd!  ;D  I did!!   :D  I hope Mike will continue to get good relief from his shot.  Thanks for the report on the RAs. They are just sooo sweet to me!!  :-* :-* :-*

TSK, what's that about Lisa's nose??  Did I miss something happening to her nose? Glad to hear Tom's good health news! Hope he and Barb have safe travels!

Lisa, you got a lot of miles from your tires - good deal. What an expense, but a necessary one. Did something happen to your nose?  ??? I'm sorry to hear your mom will be in the hospital for several days after surgery. I'm glad you will be abe to be with her then. You will be able to cheer her up with pictures and over-the-phone-facetime with Sydney while you're there, too! Prayers for a quick recovery, and that she will be able to enjoy Mardi Gras this year in New Orleans!  :)  :-*

KB, I know about the "Dr. Death" series, and what it's about, and I won't be watching.



WHERE'S E4E??   ???  Maybe they took a vacay? I've lost track, I guess... Seems like I remember maybe her saying they made New Year's Eve plans, maybe??  Maybe not? I hope all is good with them.


I walked 39 minutes today. I walked to Bluebird Lane, and I got a 2-Bluebird Escort!!   :)  Two beautiful male Bluebirds!! They flitted along with me for 3 houses - from tree-to-tree in the yards, and up-to-and-down-from a rooftop, too. LOL. It seems 3 yards/houses is about as far as they will come along, and then they double back. So sweet to see them.  :-* :-*


FYI, for those interested...

Tomorrow (Thursday), the "Today Show" is going to do a special segment on Bald Eagles, and the remarkable comeback they have made in their numbers since being placed on the protected species list.  It's on NBC, from 7am-9am, Eastern time, but check your local listings. I saw a promo for it this morning.


Take care, All.   :)

LANI   Beautiful AM reflective... :o   Thanks for Royals update. Greenish feathers or a bunch of grass in front??  Did Mike get to rest up a bit today?

BAZI   Thanks for catching my error.   Meant the nose comment for Phyl ( I hope)  ::) ::)   Thanks for the heads up on the Today show - Will remember to record it tonight as I am at an early  meeting tomorrow and might miss it.

Lani - The morning pic is absolutely gorgeous.  Mama is VERY excited for her Miss Fisher Con this year, Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page) is going to be there! Thank you for the Royal update!

baz -  I kinda figured tsk was asking Phyl about her nose, and put the comment under my name by mistake.   :D  Mama sure doesn't want to miss her Mardi Gras, so I am sure she will be bouncing back from her surgery.

tsk and all - Mama has a cyst the size of a large navel orange that they are going to remove.  It is on her ovary.  It is not a "big deal" surgery for some, but Mama has reoccurring pancreatitis, so they have to be extra careful.  She also has alot of scar tissue in her lower stomach area from previous surgeries, that she had because of her pancreatitis.

It's 48° and pouring balls where we is.

I just checked the sun dial on my smart wrist like Fred Flinstone.

It just exploded and sent shrapnel into innocent want-to-be snow travelers

LISA   Thanks for update on Mom's surgery at the end of Jan.

KAREN   Great home cooked meal you have to look forward to tomorrow  ;D   So nice of Dr Hall to stop by. I should make some gumbo - Will hunt up that recipe tomorrow.  Agree CLYNN  should be home by now.  Hopefully the weather was not an issue.  Hope she has an eye appt set up already.

BL   How much rain in the gauge?

Hello Beakers!

We made it home about half an hour ago, weather was good until we got to the rain in Iowa. A bit of sleet but not enough it make it slick! Erin is on his way over, he wants some of the chocolate milk! I am too tired to say much more, but I wanted to thank all you Beakers again for all the prayers and wishes for a safe trip! See you all in the AM!

Tsk  Hi.  Oh that.    No, I'm waiting until this Sunday as that's the 1 month anniversary of my injury. Should be healed by then, eh?  I'll treat it normally. But, with caution. Basing all on how I healed w/cervical spine ACDF---that took just a week.
Don't see the ENT until January---he was shut down due to illness then were others reschedule in front of me. Still don't know how I'm healing, etc.  w/o professional opinion. No one I've seen thus far will tell me anything.
What a mess this has been---I feel lost and abandoned.

Hi Eagles! Shannon will bring her dog Kona for New Year's Eve. Mesa allows fireworks, Kona has to be sedated, since she's an older dog the pills make it harder on her. So, Shannon always shares New Year's Eve with us, she'll leave at midnight. So Kona can sleep in her own bed at home. We have to keep the dogs separated. We're going to grill rib steaks, I'll make potato salad and the sides.

Lol!  A little while ago, I was sitting on a sofa in front of the kitchen window and heard a racket that sounded like someone was in or outside the house banging on things!  Piper was eating and not paying close attention.  I turned to look out the window as she flew to the top of the sofa.  There was a large bushy squirrel crawling on the screen and jumping around to get to a bird feeder that is attached to the  window.   It must have a vision problem as it is empty!  I filled it when Dr. Hall first  brought it here. But these critters were so fast the birds never got any food!  Was also afraid they would eventually rip the screens!   A brief bit of excitement!

Well, I'm very disgusted. Just returned from Fort Snelling to visit Scott and there was NO wreath there. I'd bet you money that last year there was NOT one either as a sponsor told me there was a snafu last year. I didn't go at Christmas last year because of our weather.
I paid for a wreath to be placed on Scott's grave both years.

I won't do that again. Nope.

Here's some pics.:

Plenty of Veterans get wreaths laid without ever paying for one. Paying for one is supposed to guarantee it.

Erin got my computer fixed! Thank goodness for TeamPlayer (allows him to take control of my pc). I clicked on a 2024 calendar to print, my Norton was deleted and things kept popping up telling me the Russians were accessing my information and that I needed to let McAfee fix it. I don't have McAfee, (I have Norton 360) so I didn't click it.  What a mess, it took him a while to find the issue. He deleted my Edge and Chrome and re-installed them and blocked something that came from India...

Now I am waiting on my Doctor to call me so we can get the referral to the retinal specialists at Wolfe Clinic. Thank goodness it's only about a mile from here.

karen, I would share Erin with any of you if I could! Oh no, the bushy squirrel! We have had 2 small squirrels get into our deck, through the one little space by the eaves. I blocked the spaces (little birds came in from another spot) so nothing could get in while we were gone, looks like it worked!

Lisa, yes, Erin got his chocolate milk, but I think he really wanted to see his Mom & Dad! And his good Mom sent him $100 for the computer service!  I bet your Mama is so glad you will be visiting her! Love the picture of you and Sydney and the one of her in the bag under the tree! You are both beautiful!

Phyl, not easy to blow your nose with caution...  ::)  Lost and abandoned...know the feeling. The Dr. in Evansville said he would send the information of my visit to my eye Dr. and primary Dr yesterday. Neither of them has received it, so they say. Hope you get a check on your nose soon, does it feel pretty much normal?  Your green glass reminds me of Ed's friend Greg. His wife Sandy collected green glass, over the years Ed had found several pieces for her. She passed away in 2020 from breast cancer. Greg takes care of her collection like it was gold...

Lani, you and Mike will have a good New Year's Eve with both of your girls! How is he feeling? Hope the shot gave him relief. That Ring-necked Pheasant looks like he thinks he is a rooster! But maybe they sound off in the morning too...  :o

E4E, we are going to have steak for New Year's Eve too! And I think I will make some chili for New Year's Day! Hard to believe it will be 2024, seems like it was 2000 last month...

BL, hope you and Pip are cozy and safe wherever you are!

tsk, I would me miserable too, if I couldn't blow my nose!

Kelsey has always loved my sister Becky's slippers, she even tried to steal Becky's one year. Becky and Jennifer sent her a pair for Christmas!

BL, I just saw the official 24-hr rainfall total for my area for yesterday was a little over 3 inches. Lots of places getting sooo much rain in the northeast - after lots of rain already just recently, too! Glad you and Pip and Kopje are all safe, snug, and hydrated.  ;) :D  Stay out of the mud - but if you must go for a mud bath, make sure you are spread-eagle, face up!  ;) We do not want to see a pic of your Big Green Machine tugging you out of a big mudhole at the end of a tether!!  :o

TSK, when I saw your comment about Lisa's nose, I never even put 2-and-2 together to realize you meant to say Phyl. LOL! Dumbo me!  ;D

Phyl, glad the laceration on your nose is mostly all gone, and your nose is hopefully healed, or very close. I fell 9 years ago and fractured my "eyebrow bone." Ouch. It took a long time for that bone to heal - and was tender to even a slight touch for a whole year. It sounds like your "nose bone" is healing quickly, so that's great! Is that bone that you hurt the tip of in your fall called the ethmoid bone?  Funny bone name. LOL. Hurting it is not funny, however! Enjoy the NYE pizza treats!

Lisa, prayers for your mom to sail through that surgery and recovery with no complications, and a quick recovery! On to Mardi Gras for her!  :) :-*

Eagles and Lani, steak for NYE sounds delish!  :)  I sliced my leftover rib eye steak from my Christmas dinner, and made small steaak sub sandwiches with it.

Karen, homemade gumbo and French bread! YUMMM!!  LOL on the sudden loud commotion turning out to be a squirrel - he must have decided to shake that bird feeder good, just to make sure nothing was left in it. LOL! Glad your window screen didn't get messed up.

Lani, loved your pheasant this morning - doing his rooster impersonation! LOL! Clynn's comment about it, and your gif made me look, and here's what I found about if Ring-Necked Pheasants crow like roosters, and about them flapping, which I never knew:

KAREN   I saw that this AM that Tom Smothers had died.  86?  Nice long life.  That is the one reason why we are not putting a window bird feeder up - We just have too many squirrels and they would wreck havoc with the screens

KB   That is shameful.  And I'm sure you will let them have it next year.  I bet they don't count on many folks following up.  You could always get your own?

CLYNN  Sounds like your computer got sick while you were away - Thank the Lord for Erin  :o   Sure hope you do not have to wait long for an appt!!!!  It's kind of an emergency, right?   We could use Erin if we had Team Player installed?  LOL   Kelsey is so cute with those slippers.  Nice idea for Becky to send  My 11 yr old great twin nieces wanted Squishmallows but they got smaller ones  LOLOL   Cool scooters.

LANI   Happy pheasant this AM  :)  I remember that from last year about Kona coming with Shannon.  Poor thing.

tsk - I let them have it this year...chatted with the board of directors.
I order it from them so as to acknowledge Scott with winter here typically being atrocious knowing I won't drive there. Only this year it wasn't. So yes, I could do it myself, but I appreciated the volunteers to do it for me when I'm not willing to drive. Plenty got free ones.

I won't pay for it again...nor bring my own unless the winters are like this one.
The board said they'd comp me next years...oh, okay. but now I'll have to go to see if they really did.

My point is they should do what they say, end of story.

{{{CLynn}}}  while I've cleaning BRs I've  done some thinking on your situ regarding the ER/doctor records, images and all. The only way, I can see right now,  for you to get the ER/doctor reports from Evansville is to contact your PCP and request a form giving your PCP/specialist permission to obtain the documents in 'question'. I believe your PCP could e-mail the forms to you for completion  with you hand carrying them to your Doc's office---or you could just personally go to doctor and get the forms fill them out there and doc could do the rest. Get copies before you leave there.

CLynn glad to hear PC issues resolved. I'll fight 'MS Edge' every step of the way...if I can. Still need to set the new Outlook up. Always something getting in the way.  >:(
I was suppose to hav e gotten from my PCP's NP a call from ENt that same week of accident. I got tired of waiting so the following Friday of doc's visit, I called doc's office and got the contact info for ENT and called them---turns out PCP never called the ENT so I just set appt up myself. The ENT got coviid and the rest is history.
How sweet of Becky to send Kelsey same slippers. Very thoughtful. Luv snaps of the Munchkins

Lisa     Your mom will be grateful l for your company and support. again safe travels T. Smothers was a hoot -amazing interpretation of Johnny  Tks for link

Karen thanks for news on  Tom  Smothers. RIP Tom.  Some squirrely excitement.

Lani Thanks---it'll over 5wks before I see the ENT when it should have been 3 days right after the injury.  ::)
Tks for info on Pheasants enjoyed the snap

KB  sorry for the wreath confusion

Bazi 5 yrs ago I fell outside Michaels and hit my head on the curb---the impact ruptured the flesh over my eyebrow and cause same type of laceration on my nose. The plastic surgeon took over 60 + stitches. Now the brow hair completely covered the scar and look perfect. My nose hurts me alot.  I have another two weeks before I see a doctor of any knowledge. God only knows the damage I've done . No one tells me anything .

Lisa/tsk, the Brothers along with N. Lear and a hand full of others were quite revolutionary!   Under the messages was tremendous humor!   Went to sams this afternoon to get Preservation and Tylenol arthritis!   They were out of the latter so came to home with canned chicken breast, A rotisserie  chicken, 2 salads, a box of  wonderland tomatoes and cotton candy grapes!
Now, back out tomorrow  for  the Tylenol!   Maybe Walgreens!

Tsk, early am trip tp the airport!  Can you go in pjs?

On average  one inch of rain equals fifteen  inches of snow!  Variable  due to temperatures. Wind, humidity, etc!  At any rate, Bl, you and Pip were lucky!
Clynn, good Christmas photos!  All gift recipients look happy with what Santa dropped off!
Lisa, you needed new tires for tge bridge as well as a trip to the coast!  Prayers for mama.
Seds!

Baz - I watched the BE segment on the Today Show this morning!   Sounds like a perfect way to finish up with leftover steak; to have a sub sandwich!

Phyl - Love the beautiful glass collection - a little of my price range tho. ;)   Yes, I had taken a few days off just to try and catch up on obligations over here.   That must be so hard for you to feel abandoned due to your Doctor being gone and then not knowing the status of your healing situation.  I know you are taking good care and that is good.

Tsk - Thank you!   Have a wonderful evening with Barb & Tom!

Clynn - Sorry for your computer issues - hopefully Erin was able to come help you and get you up and going! :)   I just read that Erin was able to take care of your computer problem.  Thank goodness for Erin!!    Kelsey looks so cute and comfortable with her new slippers!!  Your Munchkins are so cute with their Razor's(?) and such a cozy squishmallow for Bella!  Pretty Christmas tree!!

LisaG - Have you driven out in the weather conditions and noticed how well your new tires are handling?

Lani - So nice that Shannon will have NY eve with you guys even tho she will leave at midnight.  Wish the dogs got along, but completely understandable how you have to keep the dogs separated.

Karen - Yikes - scary moments with that squirrel!   Hope you find the Tylenol you want at Walgreens!  I love our local Walgreens - it is always clean and organized!

Kb - I am so sorry for your Scott not having a wreath after you have paid for him to have one.  :( :(

Today, we went to the cemetary and placed flowers for my brother and my Dad.  We also went and purchased some 'skirt steak' that we will have for our NY eve dinner!  Then we came back into our town and went to Lowes.  Hubby is doing a new project and we purchased some wood. 

Beakers have a good night - sleep well.

Kb, I agree with Tsk. I'm sorry, I know it must hurt not to see a wreath on Scott's grave. When you paid for Scott to be remembered and be part of this magnificent project. Contact the organization and let them know. You can buy one with them next year and let them know you will be going to see Scott or buy your own. Then you will know he received one.  :) It's sad to know so many did not receive a wreath. I'll check on donating to them.... okay I just read your post to Tsk. You've got it resolved. sending hugs.

{{{Clynn}}} You are so blessed to have your own in-house Tech! LOL! Glad Erin was able to get your computer up and running. Mike is moving slower than he did after the shot last year. But, he's always up and positive.  :) ... Love the Joyous look on Kelsey! She loves the slippers so much!   ;D. awww Bella and her giant Squishmallow  :-* and the munchkins and their new scooters!  ;D ... prayers you get your appointment to the clinic asap!!!  :-*

Tsk, Enjoy your evening and dinner with Barb/Tom. You have an early wake up on New Year's Day!   :)

Baz, so basically my beautiful pheasant is shouting "Ladies, Ladies, Pleeeaaassseeee, let's have order!!!  Cool! Thanks  ;D

{{{Phyl}}}

SED Karen and Piper, Mike and I always enjoyed watching the Smother Brothers. Yummy items from Sam's!

Eagles, One of the things we miss about Christmas or any of the holidays, is not being able to visit family graves.  :)

Good night!

HI EVERYONE

KAREN    I get my Preservision at Walgreens when they have the buy one - get second for half price.  I did some comparison once and I think that price came out better than Costco. - unless Costco is running a sale on it.  Also in our area anyway, Walgreens on the first Tue of the month is "senior day" - 20% off non sale items.  Do you have a loyalty card with Walgreens?  You earn points and then get cash back.    LOL  I will throw on sweats and a sweatshirt for the airport run - yes,  ;) ;)

BAZI   Watched the eagle segment last night - A bit disappointed they didn't mention the lead issue now causing many deaths in the eagle population.  Would have been a great opportunity to reach a lot of people.

EAGLES  What is Kris's new project???  LOL

Still no referral to a specialist yet, no one seems to have received the information from the Dr I saw in IN, I am amazed that no one even called me back as promised. I will not be so nice today. Will start again this morning, I may just go over there.

Erin and Sydney just left to go to Wisconsin and pick up the kittens! They are both off today and the kids are at Sydney's folks, so they have the day to themselves! Erin said they were looking forward to having some alone time to just talk! I am glad Ed didn't have to go , that Sydney went instead...

tsk, aka Hope McIcicle, my Mom uses the Preservision too. I have clipped $5 coupons from AARP and mailed them to her! Sounds like the 'half off the second one' would be the best buy of all. I too am curious about Kris's new project!  ;D ;D

Phyl, aka Tinsel McBlizzard. The 365 is beautiful and brrrr! Reminds me of living in Duluth MN! But back then I was in HS and kids don't hate the cold/snow so much as long as they have a snowmobile!  Love the green jar! I remember when you fell outside of Michaels! Signed  Bells McChilly!

Lani, well, Mike is moving slower, I do hope his back is feeling better though. He is one of those men that will not whine about pain unless it is serious pain. I am very thankful for Erin and his computer knowledge. I don't know where or how he learned all that. It certainly wasn't in school. I really think some people are born with something in their brain that understands all that stuff. Ed and Erin are both technically minded, but on different things, and neither one could boil eggd!  My pc is running better now than ever! I bet you are looking forward to New Years Eve!

E4E, yes, I am also wondering what Kris's new project is! You should know you can't leave us hanging with a statement like that! And it involves wood!

karen, I love it when checking out in the grocery store they ask you if you found everything you needed. I tell then that 'I came in for 2 things', and am checking out 12! I think one must have the perfect window to keep the squirrels from getting at the window bird feeder. We found just the right spot on Mom's front window, they can't quite reach it...

baz, thanks for the article on the pheasants, how funny that they run around keeping their harem in line! Kind of like the Moose!

kb, sorry you didn't get the wreath you ordered, but it doesn't mean that Scott has been forgotten. We all remember....

Lisa, Erin says my car is due for new tires soon... Egads! They are expensive these days!  Erin got me a Weather Tech cargo mat for Christmas, it looks so nice! I think I will try to get the mats for the front later!

Morning all..

clynn- so will they be able to return the kitties to you today?..

I'm actually someone who doesn't believe you have to go visit your loved ones at grave site. I know Scott lives with me every minute of every day...and he knows that too.  I do wonder however if Wreaths Across America is somewhat of a scam. It get lots of money from large corporations and is a non-profit. the scam being taking relatively small donations from relatives/friends of their loved ones to guarantee a wreath.  It was just a few years ago, they laid 3.2 million wreaths. Surely every 290000 headstones in MN could have been covered. Anyway, it's a beautiful tradition but I won't be contributing my little financial resources to them again.

Post by: kbshcb on December 29, 2023, 10:18:21 AM

Clynn yes we knew this....bottom line was poor planning and not having a coordinator...it doesn't say they couldn't honor the one's who paid that I read anyway.

Like I said previously, they marked down to honor Scott by comp next season.

But, I was told the same logistics snafu happened last year too when they had the wreaths...

Poor planning here in MN with the very large National Cemetary needs to be fixed and I'm trying to find out who picks the planner? State? VA?..Wreaths?...
Two years in a row of snafu's big time shows a lack of concern....we do have a lot of peeps in my state who are opposed to this laying of wreaths so sometimes the loud minority is whom is heard over doing the right thing?

Again I won't be paying for the 3rd time of not being honored...

KB   Loved those kitties  LOL  Of course I would call the cats Zorro and Ranger  ;) ;)   That savant was amazing as they all are.  I like your thoughts about Scott always being with you and not relegated to a headstone.  :-* :-*

Off in a bit to my niece's family ( the one with the "broadway" star - LOL)  for our Xmas - I'[m always the last one as her husband has 2 families in Grand Rapids and my niece's Mom and Dad ( two separate families) are in Green Bay/Door County area.  I bring subs for lunch. ;D  It's a busy time for them - They just got back yesterday afternoon.

Your new kitties will help to pick up your spirits  :-* and liven Harley's life. Oh {{{Harley}}} You have no idea what's the New Year will bring!  LOL!! ... as for Mike, I was just in his office and talking to him, and he just fell asleep sitting in his chair. I've checked on him a couple of times, he's sleeping, but seems okay. I'm sure his body is catching up after all the traveling.  :) ... glad your pc is running great! I don't know what's I'd do without mine. You will love the Weather Tech mats! That was the first thing Mike invested in after he bought his new car. It's so sturdy and can handle Mike's heavy materials and dirty boots from the company's plant soil/lime debri and of course, Mike himself! LOL!  ;D... I would love to see the Vasa! I've been watching Abandoned castles and repairs. Right now I'm watching one on a convent. So cool. I'd love to explore all of them.

kb, it sounds to me like Minnesota needs more volunteers, especially since they are second in size only to Arlington! Something you can't just snap a finger and get. People just aren't volunteering as much these days.  Sad.

His low but assertive manly voice seems to be getting somewhere.  ::)  The kittens will soon be here!

Clynn - adorbs on the kitties!

BTW, attorneys speaking in most of my CE hours for my profession always said if grandma or mom goes into the hospital she'll get better care if a man, any man, particularly in a suit comes to visit and speak with the Doc. So, doesn't surprise me when Ed may get somewhere for ya.

We needed a coordinator, we have many many volunteers here for all things...MN Nice ya know.
No, this was a logistics problem with the lack of a planner/coordinator. Who was responsible for getting that done. I don't know.

Lani - of course..I like both but don't require it to feel close or respectful.

clynn - Oh no, how frustrating that they have not sent your referral to the specialist yet. But, glad to read that Ed is getting somewhere with it.   Yes, the tires were not cheap.  Oh, what a great prezzie from Erin!  I have the Weather Tech floor mats in my Honda Pilot.  I love them.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


(https://declutterthemind.com/wp-content/uploads/mindfulnessquotes-768x328.jpg)



(((Clynn))), yay! The new little kitties will be at your house soon!!  Let the fun begin!   :D  They're so pretty, and look how sweet they are sleeping like that. ((Harley))  :-* :-* :-* I hope you have your appt to the retinal specialist soon! Sheese.  ::)  Hugs to you. Hang in there!  :-*


I walked 35 minutes today. I walked to the heavily wooded marsh, where the kayak launch is that goes into the intracoastal waterway... I wanted to see how high the water level was after getting over 3 inches of rain in 24 hours on Wednesday.  The floating kayak launch was almost as high as the footbridge to it. It would've been a good day for someone to launch from there - water level high, sunny, cool, and windy - would have a nice tailwind in one direction. LOL.



Waving to All the Beakers! Take care, All.  :D

Finally got the appt set with the retinal specialist, 1/9! They said it would take 2-3 hours! Go to my regular Dr Tuesday morning for all the blood work and stuff...

Baz, yes they are sweet kitties, I can't wait to see them!  Good for you and your walking!

Lani, I would love to let you hold them! Have to get serious about names now!

TSK, not a dirt road! LOL. Historic city of 77,000. Yep, it's cold... above the Artic Circle, by about 400+ km or so... and this time of year, you know, the sun never rises.  If you click on the link I posted, it gives some summary info and overhead views of the town. It's the largest city in northern Norway. Here's a better description of Tromso:

Clynn,  i cant wait for the stories of Kitty antics in West DesMoines!   Sure they are starting already! I’m  not sure Harley will teach them the best habits but hope he turns into a great big brother!   Any progress on the names?

Baz, interesting Norwegian town and area!  Thanks for sharing!
Lani, when I have had shots in my back they said many need to get a second for great results.  I have done one and two and two works better.  Think they are a month apart!   Hate them!  Lol

Well, Erin's just left! They went out to eat after they brought the kittens in and the Munchkins stayed here. They loved playing with the kittens, and then after I fed the kids we couldn't find the kittens!  I swear, we searched everywhere, even rooms they really couldn't have gotten into. For over an hour! When Erin and Sydney came back they started looking and Sydney found them! They had gotten in a basket in the back of the lower shelf of one of the end tables, curled up together and went to sleep... It was so cute, and I found a lot of dusty things I need to clean...  ::)

karen, there's the first story...  ;D

And, the kittens  are  so sweet/cute ---delightful furry bundles of joy that feel like heaven against the cheek -- very nice of Erin/Sydney to  bring them home to you.
 Interesting bit about Swedish warship Vasa; interesting Bennett School..

KB  Karen's idea---you as   a  planner/coordinator for wreaths ; interesting markings on the cats; great video of  Lucy playing Chopin piece have seen some of her playing before, tks

Karen  That's a great suggestion--KB-would be fantastic.

Clynn, yay on getting your appointments set up!  Bring on the kitties!!   :D :-* :-*  Seeing that great picture you posted of Atlantic Road, that connects that string of islands in Norway reminded me...

My nephew (the father of the 2 sets of twins) is on vacation in Norway now. He arrived in Tromso, Norway, which is also an island, and is above the Arctic Circle, at midnight-ish,  2 nights ago.

This link gives some nice views and info:

And here are 2 pictures my nephew took of that pretty town when he arrived, attached...

Thanks for the snaps from you nephew. And, for the info  on Tromso, Norway. Very interesting.

Lani - I am glad for our trip to the cemetary yesterday. My husband took his 'Edger' and trimmed around the head stones and we took a broom to sweep the grass/trimmings off of the head stones/Plaques.  The cemetary groundskeepers just mow over the grass/weeds - nothing extra.
Hope Mike is catching up on rest & relaxation and that the shot is working.

LisaG - Okay - you've already driven in the rain with your new tires!  At least you know they gripped the road for you! ;)

Tsk - You are so right about the BE segment on the Today Show.  They should have mentioned the issue of Lead poisoning.         The project Kris did today was to make a Platform for the mattress on our bed.  Our bed squeeked pretty bad when someone had to get in or out of bed, so he recently looked at the mattress, and discovered that our mattress was NOT meant to be used with box springs.   So he did some calculations and measuring and bought the wood yesterday.  Today he began the project; sawing the wood, etc.  It took him several hours (almost all day), but he got it finished!  We now have a quiet bed! TMI! Lol  ;D

Clynn - You too wondered what project Kris was going to make, so please see what I wrote to Tsk (above)! :)    So glad it worked out for Erin & Sydney to go pick up the kittens!!  I can't wait to hear about the trip and I do hope all went well!!     Darling pics of the kitties!!     I hope you get your referral asap!  Glad Ed has stepped in!
Just saw the darling pics of the kittens with the Munchkins - so cute!!!!!   Can't wait to hear what names you guys settle on! ;D

Kb - I agree with you in that you won't pay for a wreath next year.  You can do it on your own if weather permits.  And as Clynn mentioned, we all remember Scott and his service to our Country. :-*  He is always remembered. Warm hug for you Kb.

Tsk - Hope you had a wonderful day with your niece's family for your Christmas celebration.

Baz - Good for you in getting in your walks!  Lots of rain in your area! :o

Karen - You & Piper have a good night.

Tig - What a fun and great restaurant!!

Hi Bl!

Baz, you have many wonderful places to walk. You make every walk an adventure.... Yes to "Declutter the Mind!" ... Great photos your nephew took of Norway. The beautiful town is so well lit at night! Good link on Tromso. I sent it to Aly, she spent three years in Kragero, Norway and loved every minute of it.

Karen, this was Mike's 2nd shot in a year. Doctor said one shot once a year. I have a feeling he'll need another one soon. He promised me he plans to retire the end of 2024. Mike said the doctor does amazing job getting the needle in the right spot with minimum amount of pain. Thanks for your concern.  :-*

{{{Clynn}}} So glad you have an appt with the specialist! It'll be good for you to see your doctor on Tuesday and talk over things while getting your tests completed for the specialist. I'm with Tsk if anyone says you "you should have come in sooner!" You know what to do and say!! .....  Great pic of the Atlantic Road, Norway.

Tig, what a fun family restaurant, it looks warm and inviting. I bet the food is great!

SED BL, Pip and Kopje

Eagles, We would do the same with Mike's family headstones too. There are four family plots area. Mike's the 4th generation Kansan. Mike's mom/dad has family plots in different eras in one cemetery in Salina.... nice comfy bed for you  ;D

Oh Clynn, they are adorable. And so are the munchkins.  :-*.  Looks like the duo found a safe haven and lots of fun places to explore and hide.  ;D :-*
You've been through a few trying days, traveling, etc.... Sending hugs and prayers for a restful and peaceful night for all.  :-*

Good Morning, err Caturday or Adam s day!   Waiting patiently on this chilly (35degrees) early morning for chapter two!   Wonder where the frolicking twosome spent the night!

Good to see you Old Guy!   Glad you were busy  and not otherwise out of commission!

Morning Puff and  Phyl!

Lani, different types of shots!  I can have 5 a year!   Currently a tad stiff and bent over but pain is okay!
Peggy Lee😬
Bl,  busy night?

Phyl, looks like the wolves in 365 are stationed for sentry duty! Interesting green cat decanter!

BL, yes, I can't seem to get anything else done, they are so cute! So just where are you? It must be a beautiful place...

Puff, yes, the Munchkins sure wore them out! I wish we had been able to get a picture of them asleep in the basket, they sure found a spot that was hidden from most of us!

tig, that looks like a fun and cozy restaurant!

oldguy, I was alarmed when I heard that you hadn't posted for a week, so glad you are well, just BUSY! Hopefully some quiet time in Iceland! Cute rooster and cat, have never seen a cat lick a rooster! Walter Santi, always good, and is there maybe a bit of romance with Claire and Dr. Yoon?  Hmmmm....

Lani, I think karen is able to get the shots for her back pain much more often than once a year, and I remember when Ed had the first one, his Dr then told him after he had 3 he wouldn't give him any more. Such different pain management, makes one wonder... The first one is the only one that ever really helped him. Are you getting ready for your New Years Eve party?  ;D  I think I am going to get some shrimp/coctail sauce and make a couple more 'fun' foods. I think Kelsey would like pigs in a blanket, and then something else...not sure what yet.

E4E, thanks for the reveal of Kris's project, must be nice to have such a handy man around! Yes, box springs are becoming a thing of the past. What they don't consider is that it is so much harder to lift the thicker mattress when changing the sheets. We have a split king adjustable. the mattress is so high, I actually had trouble trying to change the fitted sheets, I ordered the ZipFit sheets and it is so much easier now!

Glacier National Park, Montana - Baz, this would be a breathtaking walk!                                              Albion Town Square yesterday!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

28 degrees  Frost on the ground.  10 day will get us back in the 40s

KAREN   Same thing happened to me a year ago.  Second injection worked.

CLYNN  Hope you put those darling babies in their litter first?  Looks like one muzzle is browner that the other?  We put Lulu in the basement and couldn't find her for half a day.  Finally she appeared upstairs finding her way up.  We never knew where she hid. :o   Loved your morning greetings today  ;D  Speaking of heavy mattresses - Can no long lift the new one - have to let blankets and sheet hang  :P :P   Pretty view of the town square.  So many questions to ask about the first night  LOLOL

TIG   Lots to look at while waiting for food  ;D.  Cute place.

PUFF   Thanks for the tip at SWFL.  I knew they were close.

EAGLES  Tuckered out little fox  :)   You have such a handy, wonderful hubby - sign him up for another year  LOL   Yes it was a nice couple hours catching up with this very busy family.  My niece gave me a notice of her donation to RRP! plus a Yeti 14 oz cup.  I was ecstatic as when I drink tea in the afternoon it cools so fast in my regular ceramic tea mug - Now I have hot tea for the duration  LOL

LANI   So perfect a song for CLYNN  I do remember it.  ;D ;D   Love that good night pic of noses  ;D ;D

OLDGUY  Certainly a very busy time for you - Glad you are back  ;)   Cat and rooster - amazing.  Love Santi's laugh  ;D
Cat beds was funny.

BL  Perfect to have a wonderful view with a cup of coffee.  ;)

PHYL  Wolves all spread out  365  :o

A piebald moose in Norway...these pics were posted in the moose on the loose fb page...
Thinking of you Rutt!

Phyl - love how the wolves are laying down perfectly equa distance from each other...

Eagles4 - Thank you. The pictures I saw of the Santa Cruz areas waves are incredible. Glad you are a bit inland.

BL - loved the Zac Brown video esp the part of singing Van Morrison's song. Scott's favorite singer was Van the Man. It reminded me when he was vented and they told me he could hear me even though in a coma, I played Into the Mystic for him while visiting...probably my favorite song as well.

Baz - I love the adventure your nephew is on and can't wait for your further reports. My entire family is from Norway. Grandma from Dad's side is from Alta, Norway..northern Norway. She used to visit Norway on her own into her 90's and the whole 100 plus clan would congregate in Brooten MN annually. Brooten, MNLOL it even sounds Norwegian is where my Grandma grew up!

Supposed to get an inch of snow tonight...I ain't complaining. I've taken all my inside and outside Christmas decorations down and quite happy to move forward into the new year myself.
Laying low today and baking cookies and pork loins from Omaha today for dinner...don't have to drive today. These night time lows below freezing are leaving a hoar frost on the roads and decks and surfaces around my home making all slippery and hard to see..I'll appreciate having some snow cover actually.

clynn - Awww, look at those kitties, and the munchkins look like they are in LOVE with them, too!  How is Harley taking to them?  Can't wait to hear the names you have for them.  Love your Caturday pics this morning. The Albion Town Square walk looks much safer, then the Glacier National Park walk, even with the snow...LOL

karen - I agree, kb would be an excellent coordinator.  She would get them all straight on what they need to be doing!

Phyl - Love that lamp in your SED post. Thanks for the 365.

tig - Love the Pink Panther Christmas decor at the restaurant.

E4E - Sweet fox, we had one a couple nights ago on the trail cam come visit the food bowl.
Yep, those new tires grip the road. Just read, no squeaky bed!  Good job, Kris!  :D

Lani - Aww, sweet pup noses. 

oldguy - There you are...you have been busy!  Many thanks for the videos!  I am not quite done with all, but getting there.

Puff -Thanks for the SWFL info!

tsk - Morning  :)

kb - Beautiul piebald moose. Stay warm with the impending snow.

A "saltie" and a "laker" follow each other out of our favorite port in the moonlight. Wait until the end...

Cute kitties!

Title: Re: Beak Room 2023
Post by: kbshcb on December 30, 2023, 10:46:01 AM

tig - Loved the video and mostly the horn noises..is the laker large enough to travel on the ocean or is it like it sounds? A saltie can travel the ocean but a laker cannot?

I get twitter notifications when something posted regarding the SWFL nest. I think yesterday there was concern about an egg collapsed/crushed? latest notification said they still see a chick alive in it.
Is this an accurate assessment?

KB   Cute little piebald moose  :)    So you have a significant Norway connection as well  :o  How do you like the Omaha products?  Have always wondered about them.  Sounds like you have a good nestling day ahead.

LISA   Wonder what your AM kitty is thinking?  You had a fox on the trail cam.  Was it cat food kibble it was eating?

KAREN  Have we seen two eggs hatch at the same time??

LORI   Thanks for the kitty play vids  ;D ;D

TIG  Cool video of the boats.  Wonder if those living in Duluth even hear those horns anymore  LOL.  Is there significance to the two levels sounds of the horns?

tig, love the video of the ships in Duluth Harbor, I remember being so excited to watch them! A tingle goes up your spine when the horn sounds! Lovely in the moonlight!

karen, both hatching at SWFL!  Do I remember this happening last year, or maybe the year before?

Lisa, we haven't introduced the kittens to Harley yet! We have been trying to give them some time with something with the other's scent on it. We'll see if that works!

tsk - so far with the omaha products I have tried: I absolutely love their scalloped potatoes. You take them out of the freezer to cook on a parchment paper lined baking pan and cook from frozen. They look like cupcakes..and delish. I haven't tried their apple tarts yet but the same cooking process. Loved their franks as they are jumbo sized and I added my own home made chili but am sure fine without. Their tenderloin steaks I would remove the bacon wrap from next time I cook. I used the reverse sear method and cooked in the oven. Good and tender but bacon was too salty for me. Have 2 left. Absolutely loved their chicken breasts cooked in the oven seared before oven. I almost always buy thighs as I think of breasts being too dry. These were not dry at all and I added mushroom soup to it in the oven.
Trying the pork loin today. Haven't yet cooked their meatballs or hamburger patties.
All in all I think it's a relatively great buy and very good.

Hi Karen sent you pm  :)

Phyl, another beautiful classic wolves nature vid!

Hi Puff thanks for SWFL update, sweet days ahead  :-*

Tsk, You'll love your Yeti cup! I drink warm tea throughout the day in the winter.

BL  ;D

Tig, Fun videos of the ship, hearing the horns. Enjoyed listening to Mike in the 2nd vid.

Oldguy, great to see your post this Caturday morning! We've been surprised at a couple of big bowl losses! ...I am howling with laughter with the rooster/cat exploring! What a trusting and close friendship these two beauties have. I especially love the ending.  ;D :-* ... thanks for links. Enjoyed the PTX video with sweet Ellen's voice. Good luck with the cards!  ;D

Clynn, sweet Caturday pics... How is Harley taking to the kittens! Oh, I just read your comment to Lisa regarding Harley. ...  I understand Karen and Mike's medical shots would be different because their medical physical needs are different. Mike has Lumbar spinal stenosis, moderate to severe degenerative disc disease, bone on bone.... Never heard of zipfit sheets! What a great invention. Easy folding too!  LOL! ... Yes, that would be a great walk for Baz, I'd love it too with Sadie by my side.... snowy Albion  :).... Oh my Caturday Junior Wrestling Olympics going on with your two new babies.  :-*  Thanks Lori, great and fun videos!!!

Lori thanks for sharing CLynn's Siamese kittens video.    Brings to mind..."Tussle and play, tussle and play; there's no other way to be happy...then to tussle and play."  :)

Phyl, great Simon's cat about boxes!  Here's Harley, AKA Turdbutt:
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/78/80/e0/7880e08fc706c066f89f2f947838b82d.jpg)
The kittens were back in the basket, I am leaving it there for them, it's their safe place...

BL, I looked at pictures of Sundown Wild Forest, it is a beautiful place...

Lisa, we haven't really gotten the cats together yet, we are letting the kittens kind of get used to the place first. We have been switching them from our bedroom to the family room and Harley between the family room and the Mole Hole, hoping they will get used to the scent of each other.

Lani, Harley has hissed once looking at the kittens in their little tent home. Hopefully it won't take too long to get them together. They look so tiny compared to him! I love the ZipFirt sheets, I ordered another set of the topper, you only need the one base section. Now I can change the sheets without waiting for Ed to wash them so I can put them back on.

Lots of great posts.

We have been busy. Dinner tonight was at a favorite family restaurant with interesting decor and yummy Italian food: https://donatellis.com/about-donatellis/#1490279767578-dd8b1406-708cefc2-d3f5

Tig, YUM! I want some!! (Saw their menu.) Love their Christmas decorations in your pics!

TSK, LOL, that's what the scroll bar is for!  ;) :D

Clynn, I LOVE the pics of the new kittens' first night! And with Talon and Bella! Their 1st Big Adventure at your house - LOL - sleeping in an out-of-sight basket!  :D :-* :-*  I'm posting as I read... I bet you have posted lots more since last night already... so I will read more posts soon!  :D


Happy Day, Beakers!  :)  I'm just getting started reading all the posts from last night and today... posting as I read...  ;) :D

I fo not remember two hatchs at once before but some have been close together!  Harriet was big on delayed incubation on the first so they would hatch close together!  F23 was just calling M  but he was not around!   Soon he will have to stock the Pantry! 
No babies yet!

Good Morning Beakers!

...

Glacier National Park, Montana - Baz, this would be a breathtaking walk!                                              Albion Town Square yesterday!

Clynn, that sure would make for a breathtaking walk - in Glacier! My Mtns Sis's younger son and his wife live in Montana, near Glacier Nat'l park. He is a professional photographer, expert skier, backcountry rescue-certified, and an all-around outdoorsman. He has trekked in many breathtaking places, like that, and others, and has some incredible photos of nature, too, like Bighorn Sheep on mtn cliffs and such. It's such a breathtaking place.  LOL, and they don't call it Big Sky Country for nuttin!  ;) :D  Your NYE treats sound yummy!

I walked 41 minutes today... no big adventure... just chilly in the colder temps with lots of wind today. But I did it!  :D

Phyl, great Simon's cat about boxes!  Here's Harley, AKA Turdbutt:
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/78/80/e0/7880e08fc706c066f89f2f947838b82d.jpg)
The kittens were back in the basket, I am leaving it there for them, it's their safe place...

BL, I looked at pictures of Sundown Wild Forest, it is a beautiful place...

Lisa, we haven't really gotten the cats together yet, we are letting the kittens kind of get used to the place first. We have been switching them from our bedroom to the family room and Harley between the family room and the Mole Hole, hoping they will get used to the scent of each other.

Lani, Harley has hissed once looking at the kittens in their little tent home. Hopefully it won't take too long to get them together. They look so tiny compared to him! I love the ZipFirt sheets, I ordered another set of the topper, you only need the one base section. Now I can change the sheets without waiting for Ed to wash them so I can put them back on. They are pricey but well worth it to me! Look at those lion cubs...cats are cats!

Lani - Hope Mike gets some good relief with the 2nd shot.  Sometimes, one shot per year is probably not enough!

Og - You have definitely been a busy guy!  The storms have not been bad for us, but not so far away, coastal areas had lots more rain and high surf and had to deal with flooding.  We live about 11 miles inland from the ocean, so where we live, we don't get flooded, of which I am grateful.    Have a wonderful New Years Eve tomorrow and I'm sure you will make delicious Chili! :)

Bl - Sounds like you & Pip are in the perfect place - Enjoy your time!  :)

Puff  - You are right - not easy being cute (kittens)!   Thanks for the status at SWFL! ;D

Clynn - Bet the kittens slept pretty good after playing with the Munchkins.  Funny how they found a perfect quiet spot to sleep! :)     It was nice to finally have a quiet bed, but not only that, the bed actually felt differently and much more comfortable. :)
Wow - that picture out at Glacier National Park-Montana is gorgeous, but don't know if I would want to be way up there! ::)
Sounds like a good plan with trying to gradually introduce Harley to the kittens.

Tsk - I read your nice compliment to Kris and he got a big smile and said 'Thank you'! ;D    So nice of your niece to gift you with that nice cup to keep your tea hot.   I think I have a cup that size too!  Yeti cups are great  :)   Wonderful donation for the RRP!! ;D

Kb - Amazing you saw the waves around the Santa Cruz, CA area too!  I think today was the last morning of high surf and today the rain ended pretty early, so that was good break for the folks over in Santa Cruz County; Rio Del Mar, Seacliff Beach, Santa Cruz Wharf, Steamer Lane area.   
Awe, hugs for what you said to BL {{Kb}}

LisaG - Thank goodness for your cam in that you were able to see that a fox had visited your feed bowl!!   Kris says 'thank you'!! :)

Karen - Thank you for SWFL update! :)

Lori - Love the vids of the kittens!!  Thank you so much!! ;D

Phyl - Love the pics of the forest area-beautiful!!    Cute comic of kitty returning the sweater! :)   Cat-Opoly! ;D

Hi Baz! Beautiful picture of your twin greatnieces with their birthday cake!! 

Beakers have a warm, safe & nice evening.

I see there is a new kid in town at SWFL this morning! E23 in 2023, made it just in time!

tsk, Puff, tig, karen and all - Morning  :)

Phyl - You're welcome.  Thanks for the history on New Year’s, the festive facts and the 365.

Lani - Thanks for the SWFL update.

E4E -  :D

kb - Thanks for the Rutt update.

baz - Happy 6th Birthday to the twins!  Great shots of the Norther Lights by your nephew!

T40 - Thanks for the videos.  :)

clynn - Was just reading your comment to Lani, about Harley hissing at the kitties.  Bandit did that same thing to Misty when we brought her inside, but he was the one we had in the carrier.   ;D ;D The Millers returned from vacation to find Bob and Daphne Honeymooning in the Spa.

Lisa, thanks for the news of E23 arriving at SWFL!  Wonder if E24 will hatch before midnight? I think there is always some hissing in the beginning of introducing cats, probably one more day and we will let them get close. Harley is just so much bigger than them!

Phyl, spooky 365... Interesting New Years article, a lot of interesting customs around the world! I would like rice pudding with an almond or eating a dozen grapes right before midnight! Will dig into the other article after breakfast! That is a beautiful wreath!

Lani, we have tie dye everywhere around here, Ed and Kelsey wear it a lot! I bet Ed has well over 100 tie dye tee shirts... Kelsey about 20. I have 5.  ;D ;D

baz, beautiful pictures of the Aurora Borealis from Norway, and a Burger King!  The twins are so cute! Six years old and the first tooth gone! Some cute pictures will be coming!

E4E, I bet Kris is looking for the next project! He seems like one who likes to keep busy working with his hands! I wish Ed was handy, he and his brother think they are handy but they are not. I should take a picture of the shelf Ed built in the new shed!

tsk, I got Mom one of those cups that will keep her coffee hot for 12 hours, I hope she uses it! I was going to set up Acorn on her TV while we were there, that was her present. Then she asked me not to because she would watch it all day and she has too many things she wants to get done, with her pictures and albums. Said she would like an immersion blender so she doesn't always have to get her mixer  or blender out, I ordered one on Amazon and it was delivered to her on Thursday!

kb, Rutt looks like a moose on a mission...  ;D

There's a lighthouse in Iceland that sits on the highest of three rocks six miles off the Icelandic coastline, built in 1939 on top of an extremely steep and dangerous rocky cliff. It's the the Thrídrangar lighthouse...

and, from a trail cam....hmm, trail cams are turning out to be a godsend, right.

Morning all.
maybe a half inch of snow fell on top of our bad ice..roads still here have had no treatment whatsoever.
Hmm?...they have no concern apparently for life or property?
Oh that's right, it's Sunday and New Years eve, LOL

Hopefully I can stay awake long enough for tonight's Vikings/Packers game.

Good Morning Everyone

PHYL   Some beautiful green glass.  Rerun on St Patricks day  LOL  ;)  I have a similar tea light  in clear glass.  Very funny waving to someone in Russia  ::) ;)    New Year's resolution  LOL.     Good 365 for NYE

LANI  Love the closeup of the sleeping kitty. 

LISA   Thanks for the heads up on E 23.    Will put the nest up when done here.

CLYNN  We will be home in our comfy clothes and Lulu for sure tonight  ;) ;)    LOL  "Ed's shelf in the shed"  ;D ;D  I had to google " immersion blender" .  Looks perfect for those smaller jobs.   Well you better not be a sleep walker tending that lighthouse  :o :o :o   What views though...

KB   Gorgeous cheetahs   Very dedicated photographers to wait for those shots.  Also ready to watch that game tonight
I see Detroit lost by 1 last night

Happy New Year's Eve back to you Lisa and to all the early riser birdies/beakers. 

I also pushed myself to stay the course and make certain hatch was successful at SWFL.  Can't say I wasn't concerned.  She sure is protecting the view.

I don't recall ever making a resolution for New Year - I will, however, have a new furry companion!!!

New Years resolution, a to do list!  So funny!   Tuesday, the Christmas stuff will be put back in the plastic tubs in the garage!   Then I think I will start cleaning glass shelved and door cabinets and china cabinet!  Hate the thought!  Bbl and Happy New Year!

Here's a recent pick of my icy road.....Nobody around. My instacart guy said all the roads other than those that have dragged salt/sand from car tires are atrocious.
I e mailed the Supervisor today who is wouldn't you know out of town till Tuesday.
My guess is that is why nothing gets done here.

I know for a fact other cities were way on top of it....we have hills too.....but god forbid they act like this when I do need to go out.

I mean when cars are out there playing bumper cars and pedestrians are falling on their keesters during a "relatively minor winter weather event" .. where does the public safety aspect kick in.

LisaG - I've had the SWFL cam up over here!   You & Jeff have a good one!

Clynn - Yes, Kris loves to keep busy with tinkering in the garage or making something!  He really does enjoy working, building, repairing things!   I too, think it is natural for Harley to hiss at the kittens, so it will just take time. 
Ed & his brother! ;D ;D   

Kb - Wow, awesome photo of Cheetah and her gorgeous cubs!  You, Chris & Ollie have a wonderful evening.

Tsk - Yum! Enjoy your split pea and ham - sounds so good!!   You & Tim have a nice evening.

Puff - I too, noticed that it has been hard to get a glimpse of E23 - F23 protecting him/her from view!!

Karen - Your news is not old news! Lol!  Your news/updates are always appreciated. ;D   Oh no, just read what you & Clynn are saying about E24. :'(   Wishing you & Piper a nice cozy night.

Tig - You & Camper have a good night!

Og, Lori, BL, Baz - Wishing all of you a wonderful evening.

We have stayed home all day - never drove out at all!  We are enjoying football and just doing things around home - no company today!  I did give hubby a haircut today!   Looking forward to a quiet evening and will have the tv on later tonight for the count-down and the Ball to fall and ring in the New year!! :)   We will bbq steak for dinner.  Hubby has been wearing his PJ pants all day! :)

Overzealous environmental concerns...used by supervisors to let the staff take an extra long holiday is my opinion. Remember, the trucks haven't been out all winter so far due to our mild winter. I think they are painting smiley faces on their trucks....I've seen them. We are not out of money. We are taxed higher than most states. And have the staff...
I know this as our community fb page is full of them. Dehumanizing anyone who even asks why haven't the trucks been out yet.
I live in a very radical loud mouth minority who have the ears of the council and mayor...go figure.

I didn't take my Ollie walk today as I would have. I saw multiple dinged up cars just on my road alone traveling by today. You think that's why our car insurance might be very high?....LOL. I just have to laugh at this and hope I don't have an imminent car drive to do during these days. And pray for a change in leadership soon. People are too afraid to speak out as when they do they get trolled.

Thinking along the same line tsk.  We see a lot of the backs of the parents and/or look up at them perching.  No hope of getting much of a peek at the little one.

Also, I've been wondering if this is the first time for F23.  I found very quickly that she is in need of some tutoring by M.

CLynn  'cool' cup to keep coffee 'hot'  ;)   Harley's an 'old man' kitty  and they don't like change LOL. Mike hissed at Maggie thru the upstaris bathroom door as she was kept in there w/ essentials while Mike got use to the 'idea' of her. But until she grew bigger we always locked in bathroom while we ere gone as Mike was Maine Coon and he'd killed her easily if he had the notion. Once he and her had their 'talk' and he explained the 'rules' and she told him not to bully here--they were inseparable and best pals. Ed/Kelsey really do luv 'tie dye'  far out.  ;)
Awesome lighthouse in Iceland

You may have to use the toothpick 'trick' to watch for tonight's Vikings/Packers game. LOL

Tsk splt pea w/ ham sounds great---you make yours from dried split peas or fresh?    Using leftover pizza crust and pepperoni, mushroom and monzer cheese  with romaine salad and brew. Gonna watch something on Fox Nation--maybe  'History fo the World in 6 Glasses' with D. Ackroyd, J. Belushi,  and the gamg from the '80s. Could be interesting

Puff  thanks for the nest update; never made NY Resolutions either. But keep mental goals.  Cheers to all our furry companions tonight.

Karen   tks for nest info---take care, don't fall or break the 'china/glass' either.  On no! An inactive egglet.  :'(

Yes, we are snuggled inside, Chris already asleep in the recliner upstairs, and me and Ollie snuggled in the big king size bed getting downstairs ready to watch the Vikings game. Chris gets up around 1 am.....grr.

Sad thing is when they leave the roads icy they don't melt for sometimes weeks in MN. So, unless tomorrow stays above 32 for more than a few hours Ollie man and I may stay with ball play inside rather than his walks he loves so much.

The Minnesota National Guard was called in because he got to close to North Dakota.   ;)

He has been helicopter lifted to the U.S Bank Stadium downtown and is under evaluation by the fans in Row 27 .. hmm ..
Rutt seams suspicious of these peeps ..   ;)

This is a rapidly developing story stay tuned ..

Karen, Puff tonights SWFL update 11:21pm E23 peeking out in front of F23 while her head is tucked, F23 up, brief peek at E23. 11:55pm M15 continues to perch on the attic watching over F23 and E23, F23 up, repositions and back to brooding. Happy New Year everyone! 24 minutes

Clynn, love your morning pics ... well, your tie-dye blanket is beautiful, looks cozy and comforting....I looked up the Thrídrangar lighthouse to see how it was built there, can you imagine the view from there. Just stunning!

Kb, majestic Caturday pics of mama Cheetah/cubs... with all the mess outside your door, staying safe and warm with Chris and Ollie Man sounds like a good plan.

{{{Puff}}} awww a new furry companion!  :-*

Tig, glad you and Camper had a good time with Bro/SIL. When does Rosie come to visit?

Karen, oh, I read your post about E24  :'( ... Aly will be here until January 6th  :)

BL, Is it dangerous for Rutt to go into ND?  ??? ... Happy New Year on Sugarloaf Mountain!

Tsk, good cleaning plan...Split pea and ham soup sounds delicious. I'm the only one in my family that likes it. I love peas.

Eagles, We've had Shannon and her dog Kona here. We've had dinner, fun visits, lots of barking between floors. LOL! Mike's asleep  ;D ... Shannon and Kona will be leaving at midnight. So, Aly and I will stay up, right now all pups are quiet/snoozing, Milo/Norman are exhausted from their Caturday fun. Well, I am too.  ;D... Mike would not trust me to trim his hair.
