Good Morning Beakers....It's Caturday!


tig - Those spam calls had stopped for a while for us, and have picked back up this past week.

tsk - Patriotic Lulu  ;D 

karen - I see Beryl's cone is making her loop around.

Phyl - Love that house boat!

baz - Thank you!  Can't wait to see tsk!!!  Great pics of the lil greats!

Lani - You know I will be sharing.  Jeff bought me a laptop for Christmas this past year, so I will be able to keep up better while I am away.  I hate typing on a ipad!

clynn - Mom & DM2 left a couple years after the maple was taken down.  Mom used the 2nd maple down from the original one for a while, they called that one M2 (Maple 2).  It is still up, and we have seen HM or HD on it just this past year.  Greta pics from Hellgate and DNN!

PHEW  Can turn A/C off today and open windows  ;D

PHYL  LOL  that is why I like saying it   ;)  Rolls right off the tongue.  When do your PT visits begin?  Love that river boat tiny house  :D   Walt and kitty  ;)  Enjoyed all the AM funnies  ;D

BAZI  " Lovey and Dovey" cute  ;D   Lots of fun things to do for the kids.  Will you get a visit from them?  Gosh Lil Punkin' and Baby Bro are really getting big!!!  Bro's hair is really curly  ;D

LANI    I had been thinking Mike now goes to places with his "successor" who would drive.  I do remember that fall. Hopefully never again.   The airlines just may cancel the flights..Wait and see.

CLYNN  Oh no.  I have chills - Prayers have started for Aunt June. Mom must feel just awful.  Your trip couldn't be more timely.  HUGS to you and your family.   Very cute pic at Hellgate  ;D

LISA  Love the AM art work. So colorful.  Eager for our LONG chat and a good pizza  ;D

Many things in the "beak news" today.

Hi back to all clynn  LisaG   tsk and all. . .

Started off with that special order by kitty for special sammich.  Cute  LOL

My beast Puff had a thing for ice.  Ton would be "told" to throw a chunk in his water.  Plus he would go crazy, goofy if a stray piece would drop to the floor when we used the auto ice dispenser. 

So sorry Clynn about the news of your aunt.  Three years after the fact?  Prayers for all.

Yep, 70's here today.  Would like to be out in the yard; too much yesterday though.  Taking a break today.

Hellgate Osprey update
To our untrained eyes, the eye seems to be healing well with all eyelids functioning normally. As the vet said, the concern is the cornea. We know Dr. Greene has been in touch with a raptor specialist. Time is a great healer & our positive thoughts and prayers.

Y'all Re: houseboat post, back in the '80s when Cali rent was  astronomically high.  Dan lived on a houseboat at pier in the harbor.  Dad took
a vaca for two weeks and stayed w/Dan. They had fun---one afternoon he was at the pier watching an episode of 'Rockford Files'
filimg---he started to leave so not to get in the shot when James Garner was chasing 'a suspect'.  A production aide approached him
and asked him to stay as a bystander.  He did and got a token check in the mail for 'extra's  pay'.   I was surprised as Dad wasn't a member of SAG and all.   And yes it aired with Dad in the scene. Purdy cool.



Funny  'X"   aka Twitter

{{{CLynn}}} had to go back and re-read your AM post, how could I've missed?!   >:(     So sorry about your {{{ Aunt June}}}feeling so bad all
that time.  :(  :'(

Lani just l love that leopard in the tree !  :-*  I envy the ladies w/children  :-*   Maggie (all my kitties) know me---just sometimes she has
selective hearing.  ;)  ; tks for Hellgate update on chick's eye recovery   ;)

TSk  LOL 'chicken sandwich;   not until I call and set sessions up.  ;D;  Chachalaca--now say it while doing the Cha-Cha with upper body shimmy.   ;D LOL
 
Lisa colorful AM today




Dina 5-23-21  :-* I miss you so much.

A couple of feel good vids...:

Excited dogs greeting their caregivers at a shelter...BTW, Ollie lives like this daily to whomever he meets.

https://x.com/i/status/1809631613661118812
this dog finds out he is being adopted....OMG.

Tried sitting in the sun enjoying my back yard gardens. Made it almost an hour while Ollie sniffed out chipmunks under my deck and got too hot. He went inside, LOL and then so did I!

Phyl - Thanks for the article on, Your cat can recognize your voice.  I get emails from VRBO, and a couple days ago houseboats came up as places to rent for your vacay.  Some even had pool sides on the side of them to slide into the lake.

tsk - I am ready for LONG chat, and pizza!  :D   We are still having a scorcher today, not as bad as yesterday tho.  Enjoy Bakers Lake Prairie

((clynn)) - Totally missed your comment to Lani about your Aunt June.  Prayers being sent her way!

kb - That is too funny!

Puff - Glad to hear you are resting up after your day in the yard. 

Lani - I bet you are excited to see Aly & Dewey, and I bet she won't mind helping out with what you need done. Great pics from Hellgate.

PHYL    How cool was that for Dad to be a part of a Rockford File episode  LOLOL  Right place at the right time  ;D

KB   Hysterical - caregiver and the black dog "in love" with her  LOL    Awww that sweet baby being adopted  :-*

SO  We are back.   GPS took me to the smallish parking lot in the prairie.  What - no lake.  We came back after trying to find another way there.   Noticed what I thought was a light post? but why in the middle of the prairie way out in the distance.  With binocs - an osprey nest  with two osprey sitting on the edge.  It was a platform with a few strands of nest material hanging from it.  Further googling said there was a Baker Lake outlook.  But where?  Got an aerial shot and a map of Barrington and we drove to what turned out to be the outlook to this lovely lake surrounded by trees.  AND it is a Rookery.  A man was parked next to us and he noticed my binocs.  I said I was looking to see if I could see the osprey platform from this side of the lake - no dice.  BUT  DID SEE two eagles perched on the structure on the Rookery island - below, the structure were cormorants and great egrets!!!  I was very excited.  Never knew this place existed.
So by trial and error we not only saw the osprey - eagles were thrown into the mix  LOL
Unable to take pics - too far away.
