LANI   Yes for sure Mike will have to wait it out in Ohio.  Hope the plows can keep up with it and he can get out on time.

LISA   Full court press on the hearts this AM     Barb reported yesterday she is at 80%  Good thing because her sister arrived yesterday for a week  LOLOL   WOW  7.5" of snow.  I think you may get more snow this season than we will.  Your town may just have to invest in a couple of good snow plows    Love how you put hay out under the picnic table - Great idea.  Spotty is cute .  How many kittens are there again?  Yes read about Mrs North - a few days early    Will need to check the nest today and see how much snow they are getting.

CLYNN   Love those little birdies with the hats on.    The little single birdie on the fence paid more for his ticket  LOL   I also have a cup of tea in the afternoon - usually around 2 ish.  I'm enjoying some peppermint tea during the winter.   Good for you  - no falling and all that nice weight loss.     I think LISA got the snow storm that only gave us the dusting we had early yesterday.   Except for maybe two, I don't remember any of those commercials!!!

clynn - Yes, lots of snow again, and it is supposed to start raining/sleeting this afternoon around 4pm. I need to get out and clean my car off before all that mess starts. Good to read that M15 & F23 are back to working on nest. 

tsk - Glad to hear that Barb is almost back to normal.  Yes, enough of the snow, Jeff said!

Here's a sunrise time lapse video from today (02/12/25) from Mt Desert Island, ME.

http://www.barharborcam.com/webcams/dysarts/sunrise_sw_harbor.mp4

Dysart's marina is in Southwest Harbor about 1.5 miles NW 'up' the road from where we are staying at Mr P's house.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/tFCvR6UWLzKgQQPd9

Mr. P is a close family friend I have known since .. heck, as long as I can remember.   
He has/had 3 boys the exact same ages as me and my 2 brothers.
Our family lost our middle brother Jumbo in 2005 and Mr. P lost his oldest son Don in a motorcycle accident in 2008.  Cry.
We all grew up in the same NJ town, went to the same schools and all 6 of us boys got into as much trouble as was humanly possible.      

This family "compound" very near Acadia NP has been in his family for over 60+ years.
Mr. P's father, Old Man P left the property to him 30+ yrs ago and Mr. P retired up here to live year round in the 90's.
Old Man P worked directly for Henry Ford as an engineer and secured the family fortune. 
All 6 of us boys spent many a summers up here over the years raising cain on this island.   
Such great times and very fond memories for sure.

Howdy Beakers!

I'm heading to the dentist - a crown came off my molar this past weekend... hope it's a simple and quick re-glue.
It's a misty foggy day here - upper 40s... feels raw out.

Stay safe and warm, Beakers! 

[LisaG1967]

Phyl - Hope all went well at the docs today.  Thanks for the 365, and the Great Backyard Bird Count info. 

Lani - The B&B kitties do like the hay.  Pretty morning greeting. 

tsk - How much snow did you get? 

BL - Very cool sunrise time lapse video.

baz - Good luck at the dentist. 

Good night, everyone 

[tsk34]

Some storm...    Just snow blowed 1.5" off the driveway and walks - very windy and snow has been light all day.  We may get a bit more overnight but certainly no 4"-8".

BL   Did you do that time lapse?  Very cool.   Wow  thanks for sharing the Mr P family story.  Life long friends and family you just cannot beat.  6 boys raising hell..LOLOL  Explains a lot.   

BAZI  Hope it is a quick repair.  I have a crown on a front tooth - I hope that one NEVER comes off  LOL  I'd have to wear a mask until repair   

[karengramke]

Seds Beakers!   Hot , humid day.

TSK... my dentist makes the new crown while I wait! New tech. ...

We go to sign off on our taxes tomorrow. Prolly will do a Mexican food buffet after. I'll need to work hard in the pool in the a.m. I worked very hard today too. I didn't want to get my injured wrist wet so I held my hands above the water while I marched and even while I kicked into the deep end. 

Camper took nice pics of "Tchaikovsky" tonight.

Tsk no just one of the many webcams around here.

Mr P or Papa Smurf as he is colloquially known to all of us.  *

So dearly beloved to all of us as a pillar of wisdom. 
No Spring chicken either. 88 years young now. 
Smoking a J with Pip and I just the other night at the "seal shack" listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd.   

I went for a walk with him up by Beech Mtn today and he imparted some subtle wisdom upon me that I'll take with me to the end.

Some I'll share. You got a great woman in Pip there Phil cherish it. Yes Sir I know. 
The other wise advise I'll put in my back pocket.

 https://mapper.acme.com/?ll=44.31402,-68.34492&z=14&t=UL

* Would often flip us the keys to this slice of heaven back in the day.

The only admonishment to his and us boys was leave it better than you found it or don't bother coming back home ! 

We all - his sons - Brian, Alan and Don and us brothers BL, Jumbo and beak - built the "seal shack" one summer as a wedding gift to Mr. P and his new bride Betty as a surprise.

Hinted hey why don't you and Betty take a walk down to the beach.

You guys just made Betty and I cry.

That was the aim James enjoy the sunrise.
Get your own Fn wood.   

Now Mr. P's father, Old Man Mr. P was a frigging riot of a hoot of an old codger too.
Long grey hair & beard with a floppy felt hat and as eccentric as the day is long.
Every Tuesday at sunrise weather permitting his "banjo band" would knock it out of the park on top of Cadillac Mtn.

The 1st place in the USA the sunrises every day BTW.
   
I met him 3 times when I was just a pup and it was the 1st time I ever saw the USA's 1st sunrise on top of Cadillac Mtn.

These old guys picking rocked the sunrise better than I've yet to hear again

Hello Beakers

It is back to winter here now...  The snow is just about over, according to the radar - the NOAA page that BL posted earlier is showing 8-9 inches for the Iowa City area - that is close to my measurements here.  Spent about 40 minutes early afternoon with about 5 inches and then at 6pm for another 3-4 inches clearing the cars, parking and steps.

Working tomorrow, so hoping that the streets are in good condition by the time I head in.

Kilauea is in pause status again... after 22:30 hours of fountaining...
