GOOD MORNING

BL  WOW  What a whopper.  You must be on a charter?  I love mahi-mahi 

TIG  Do you find your tulips multiply on their own like daffodils? 

LANI   Actually the female lead, Marion,  in her credits she has played NY and London's East End.  She had a very strong operettic voice that Tim and I both felt was "too much" for this part gorgeous as it was.  Many of this huge cast had TV roles as well.   Such a good teacher and friend you were to those kids.  It's no wonder that you have beautiful girls of yoru own      What a funny good night sleep over  LOL

PHYL  Throwback Thurs.  I do remember Cremora     Thanks for Amy's blog as always.  Falcons getting busy now.  George Washington and the jars of cherries 

[karengramke]

Good Morning Beakers! 
Phyl, thanks for the update on Jim and for taking the time for posting interesting links for us!  Hopefully you are now resting and getting a little rest! You were posting at 3 am!  Wow!

Temps are currently 65 with 95 percent humidity!  Going to 91 later today with an average high for this date of 84!   A tad high!  You can almost squeeze the air and get wet!  No rain in the forecast!

Think my finches have fledged but not sure! Occasionally see a head in the back but no flying around or looking in the house!  Will wait for a second clutch!

Hummingbird  feeder is out but no sightings!  May have been late hanging it!

Help comes an hour late today. And I have two things to do besides the ent! Cpap machine broke when I got to bed last night!  Said major air leak in humidifier tube!  No air coming out anywhere so have to get that fixed!  Also need to pick up some plants this afternoon so I  can get the yard man to plant them tomorrow!  Need a few more  liriopes, a few roses and a Mandevilla!   May call the garden center and have them ready for pickup!
Bbl

Good Morning Beakers!



Phyl, sounds like Jim is getting good care, I agree with you about staying another day, so both of you can get a little more rest. I will be reading your 'Miscellany of Interest' throughout the day! Curious about the Old Bras article! Amy's Blog, great as usual! Warms my heart to see how good the Decorah North and Trempealeau kids are doing! I remember Cremora! I have had Coffee Mate Hazelnut in my coffee for years! And Years! Have tried other flavors but keep going back. 

Lani, so you are a two-handed back-hander!  I was looking up the 10 Best Women Tennis players, 4 of them were two-handed back-handers (including your Idol!), and of course you know, the number 1 was Serena Williams who was also a two-handed back-hander!  So you were in good company! Kudos to you for being a good friend to the kids you were teaching, you probably helped them more than you know... Your May Day picture...you look like a Princess!  Love it!

E4E, you should have seen Sophie yesterday! Ed attached a furry mouse to a long thin strip of leather, she had the mouse in her mouth and was running all over the house and up/down the stairs. Sam was chasing a knot at the end of the leather, all over the house. It was so funny! It went on for several minutes!

BL, a 29 pounder, WOW! That had to be quite a job, bringing that in! Several meals worth!  Yum!

karen, you have a busy day planned!

kb, love the tulip house!

It's the first day of the Tulip Festival in Pella, Iowa!


Norwich Cathedral - about an hour ago. Egg-citing news from the Cathedral spire!Two peregrine falcon chicks hatched last night (1 May) at about 6pm and 8pm.Thank you to our friends at Hawk and Owl Trust for the picture of the new arrivals!

Hellgate Canyon - Jenny Powell - The new couple maintaining body contact as they take in the view.....together ❤

[karengramke]

You go Iris!  Do not let Louis distract you!   Thanks Clynn!  Fun and funny kitties you have!   Mickey has a. Black male cat that washes his feet in his water dish.
  Will occasionally wash a toy in there!

[Puff]

Looks nice and inviting posture to all of us.  There are a lot of us watching; we're all hoping the new couple becomes a permanent couple.

Interesting report from Amy on the Trempealeau nest.  I would have guessed the opposite.

[camperstig]

some bounce
TSK... Certainly not the new tulips out front. I wonder about my Mom's tulips in the back yard... from the 60s or 70s? They are still going strong. I'll try to get a pic today after the rain.

Good Morning Beakers


I didn't get back in here yesterday, so catching up some. 

Lani - Love the pup from yesterday with the Daisy wreath. 

tsk - Glad to hear you enjoyed The Music Man, and got a yummy meal afterwards. 

baz - Glad to hear that your appointment went well.  It is always a better visit, when the person has good beside manners.

kb - Love the tulip house!

E4E - Your marinade sounds good, too!   

BrokenLug - Nice catch!

karen - We were as hot as you yesterday.  Think today is going to be the same, then a cool down.

tig - Pretty tulips 

Phyl - Jim sounds like he is in good hands.

clynn - Love the flowers in the colored bottles.  Aww, love the pic of Iris & new guy.  Congrats to the Norwich Cathedral falcons on their hatches.

[karengramke]

Lisa, wish we would have a cool down!

[kbshcb]

Hmm, I caught this very long white thing out of the corner of my eye outside my front window..toilet paper?, white long tailed bird?

Then Mrs. Robin returned to my yard hoisting that long "rope"...she struggled mightily with it wrapping it around her beak several times, flying off, returning, etc. .with Daddy in my maple tree either encouraging her or discouraging her?

Both are now in my tree with rope like thingy laying across my driveway....this could take awhile, LOL

So much fluffiness on TF Albie chick!


Good morning Beakers!
Morning Ezee, Eburg, Weasel, Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Eagles, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Phyl, Happy to hear Jim is a bit better.... Thank you for the nest updates, happy to see our eaglets are doing well, as well as nature video sweet owls  ... goodness lots of interesting articles.... Take care and get some rest today. 

Tsk, Lisa, Tig have a good day 

Kb, beautiful garden 

Karen, I bet the hummers will be there soon....  You have a busy day planned, take care. 

Clynn, pretty morning pics..... sounds like a fun day for S & S! ... gorgeous tulips! ... sweet falcon chicks  love the view from their nest... that was my favorite pic of Iris and her new beau yesterday. It's wonderful to see Iris staying home again. He just brought her a big fish! 

Hellgate's new male just landed with a nice size fish in his talons!!! YAY!!!


She took it to her owl pole!

[kbshcb]

well, I took a walk in the drizzle with Ollie. When I left long piece of what looked like twine was in my garden, no birdies around.

When I returned home, no twine anywhere...

[baziunc]

BAZI   Thanks for that backround in tennis for you too.  I remember Yvonne Goolagong.  Excellent OT report.  Rapport is so important!!  You used a modality term I've never heard of  LOL  " cold and heat machine".  Someone should have invented that a long time ago! "Manual lymphatic  drainage" - another procedure not around when I was practicing.  Sounds like you are on the right track and she sees you as a good patient who does not need more than a once a week check. 

 

TSK, oops! It was not a cold and heat machine! LOL, that would be nice, though! I said it was a cool heat machine! Meaning, it was an amazingly wonderful heat machine - not cool in temperature. LOLOL!!
