Good morning when you get up at six and let the doggie out you hear a weird noise which I determined is coming from the sprinkler system. I am calling the people back for the third time to fix something that is not right I think the sprinkler may be hitting the propane tank and something else but it’s coming out in a stream instead of a spray something wrong with that head over there and I hope they can fix it once and for all.
At least until there’s something happens like more tree, removal or storm damage or something anyway, I’ve had people fixing this other than the man in charge and they don’t do as good a job he could come once and be done with it but these people don’t seem to be able to. I’m waiting for it to be late enough to call and then they will be there for the day until I have my afternoon appointment. Piper was in a hurry to get up this morning as well as I was but she’s gone back to sleep now. I hope everyone has a lovely day. Annette Tim’s appointment goes well. I think I was up before they left for the hospital. Maybe that’s why I woke up at any rate prayers for the day for 10 and task.

BL    Wise Mom - Mandatory 2 yrs HS Latin  Am forever grateful!

KAREN   Of course Tim didn't sleep a wink    Will leave here in about 20 minutes.

Dinner at Barb's was great.   For the first year ever she is seeing several Baltimore orioles in her yard - at her grape jelly feeder.
Normally they just pass through (I forgot to put mine out this year).  She has males and a female.  They are singing from the big tree next door to her.  Would be wonderful if they nested there.  I said get your binocs out!!!

Later today folks.  Thanks for your prayers.

Good Morning Beakers!



Phyl, good 365, love the mist over the water...  Love the duck on the motorcycle and the chick in the hiking gear, so cute! Still sending prayers for you and Jim and Ms. Maggie. Hope you are all as good as you can be! And getting better...

tsk, you are at the hospital by now, praying that all goes well with Tim and his heart! I also would love to see a Baltimore Oriole! The mention of a Baltimore Oriole reminds me of a day in 6th grade! the teacher (a man) was asking random questions of the class, and he asked if anyone knew what a Baltimore Oriole was and I held up my hand and answered ' it's a bird'. And he said WRONG! It's a baseball team. Later I found the bird in the encyclopedia and showed it to him. He apologized to me in front of the whole class the next morning...

karen, I just hate it when you pay someone to do a job and they do a crappy job, even when they come back to correct it and it's still not right! I wish the guy who enclosed my deck would ask me for a reference! Boy would he get a good one...NOT! Bathroom updates coming Wednesday! Walk-in shower in ours and new tub enclosure and shower doors in Kelsey's. Next step, next year, new countertops and sinks, and fresh paint. Oh no on the SWFL nest...I hope eagles they will stay! It looks kind of bare!

Cottonwood Pass, Colorado - Only a few weeks until this road opens up for the season!
I took this photo last year on May 31st. Lucian Manthey.


Hawk and Owl Trust🐦 News blog from the Peregrine falcon nest at Norwich! Both parents are diligently caring for their 3 chicks. One little one is smaller but there's hope! 🐣
Sadly, a fourth egg didn't hatch, likely non-viable. However, 3 healthy chicks is a win!

Goid mirni g again! I called the sprinkler service people who are also my landscape, hard-working people and ask them to send the man in charge instead of his son can fix the sprinkler system. I think what they do if they get in a hurry to fix things and don’t do a complete job so the adage haste makes waste is appropriate. I’m hoping that Tim is now through with his procedure and recovery so that he can return home waiting to hear from tsk.

I went to the office about 30 minutes ago to shred some information. I stared at the door of the room which was closed, and there was this creature on it, and I was trying to figure out how to attack it when it went down the door and into my bedroom and under the dresser I haven’t seen it sense, but I can’t just sit in there waiting forward to return to daylight from underneath the dresser. I don’t know if this was a spider or if it was a frog or maybe a roach I’m not real sure but I’m very uneasy about it and I don’t like sleeping with people I don’t know lol OL. Lol OL sharpie paper did not see this thing and so I can’t get her interested in tracking it. Oh well we’ll see what happens it’s big enough to carry something along with it maybe the size between 1/4 and a half a dollar

Tim and Tsk, you're in our thoughts and prayers!

Good Morning Beakers


I started a morning post before I headed across the bridge, and forgot to post it.   

karen - Oh boy, you and Piper were up early.  I hope nothing too serious with the sprinkler system.  Yikes, on your creature!!  I hope you find it and dispose of it.

tsk - Hugs, good thoughts and prayers for ((Tim))!  Very cool that Barb is seeing Orioles. 

Phyl - Be safe with the weather, and thanks for the 365.

clynn - The falcons are so cute!  Pretty colorful greetings this morning. 

Lani, tig, kb, Puff, oldguy, BL - Morning

Karen and Lisa, OH No, so sad to see the Attic branch break .... that tree has really taken a beating through the last couple of hurricanes.
I'm glad there wasn't any eaglets in the nest...

[Lani]

BL   It's a shame we didn't have "penguin" along with Spanish and French to choose from. 

Or as my dear Mother gently learned me reading Latin to the knowledge of survival.

Go for it.

BL, that explains a lot

Phyl, beautiful Mother's Day poem  .  Peaceful nature video, I looked up Coypu, I've never seen one before. always keeping you, Jim and Miss Maggie in our prayers. Take care with the weather. 

Clynn, Beautiful Mother's Day pics... I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day too... I was tired and very glad to be home.... wonderful Colorado pic... awww prayers for the baby Norwich Peregrine chick and sibling. 

{{{Tsk and Tim}}} Thinking about you both, and praying Tim's surgery goes well.  🙏 ... glad you were able to spend time with Barb and Tom... yummy dinner... awww Baltimore Orioles, I hope they nest nearby.

Kb, I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day with Ollie man and Chris. 

Lori, Love your Mother's Day pics!    I hope you and Destini had a lovely day too. 

Karen, Good luck with your appt and sprinkler system. I can't get my dripping system time schedule set right. I keep looking at youtube DIY videos. I may need to have someone check it out for me.... awww {{{Piper}}} I could join her, I'm still tired... YIKES on your creature. I hope you find it or else if it keeps hanging about, you might put it to work and help fix the sprinkler... I hate creepy crawling things, especially when they disappear. I know one of the cats will find it and place it in my office or bedroom. 

Oldguy, Kilauea is spouting big time! It's very worrisome to my Hawaiian family in the area. They feel there's more will come.

Hi Lisa, Puff, Tig, Paulie, I hope you all had a good weekend.

Lani - yes, episode 21 lasted about 8 hours on Sunday. - short video..
Raw Unedited Footage From Kilauea Volcano Episode 21 May 11, 2025   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNRer4VPvQg

USGS reports that the rift zones are showing no activity with CO2 emissions below detection.  The current activity is exclusively within the caldera and at current levels would take many years to fill.  The lower magma chambers go almost straight down the core, so as long as the caldera vents do not get totally blocked, the likely hood of the rift zones going active is very slim.  The best scenario is for the current activity to continue, as this keeps the vents from getting blocked.  View the current activity like the pressure relief on a pressure cooker... as long as it works, no explosion.
