Good Morning Judy and all at EA.

Elle, I look forward to seeing your video. It is wonderful that you and other ground crew can see Ma and Pa and bring us back updates, videos, and photos. Thank you so very much my friend.

Scott, FrankplusJen has some awesome videos, they must have some really good equipment. I'm glad to hear that Buddy is doing well.

& Howdy Do, (((All)))?.....


Thanks for the link Scott. It's still very interesting to hear the different thoughts on Hope.
Nottie didn't come from a breeder and maybe the people didn't know she couldn't swallow solid food, but you have to wonder.


elle.....you are so right; prior to our loss, i never realized just how much the word "hope" was uttered in this world. I'm sure they chose Hope's name with much thought, but they could not have had idea how significant it would become.


Annie (Yeah to rain!) & Scott......some kind of marking, at least, for the yearlings known to visit baited areas for sure.


Nancy.....i know what you mean about your Rays. We waited thru sooo many years of failure & were shocked the Rangers even made it to the playoffs last year, much less this year too. Your boys certainly came close to beating us each game.


Scott.......I laughed at myself early this morning when i had a moment. Somehow i thought you were confused when i read your bat tree post, i had baseball on my mind and thought i'd missed a comment from Jean to Nancy about her Ray's needing more bats. It only took about 36 hrs. before it clicked for me.

Good Morning Dear Friends



Wishing You a Wonderful WEDNESDAY !

'afternoon {{{{{{{{{{Nestlings}}}}}}}}}}

I watched this show last night....Hummingbirds Magic in the Air on PBS. Here's a link to it but it's not available yet but it will be so bookmark it for later and try again. You really should take the hour out to watch it, it's fascinating!!!

Black-chinned Hummingbirds build their nests all in the same tree as the Cooper’s Hawks. One hawk nest surrounded by dozens of hummer nests. The reason for this: the hawks prey on all the animals that prey on the hummingbirds. These little hummingbirds know they are safe around the hawks as they're too small and too fast for the hawk to bother with. The hawk knows his lunch will come to try to make the hummers their lunch, I just love relationships like this!

the other thing I wanted to share with you guys is this...

You likely or maybe remember me telling you about the day my most beloved Pokey came home and I put a dish of milk down for him right? He took one look and came flying over and jumped in it! well looky what my buddy sent me last night.....

HAPPY WEDNESDAY DEAR NESTIES

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring........ Yep it's pouring. It didn't start until a couple of hours ago but it is a real downpour and it's very cool....61F with wind so it feels much cooler than that. I had to put a sweater on It's coming down so fast and hard, I had to go out there and put an extension on the rain gutter and got soaked!

No time for k-up right now. Hope all are having a great day! See you after awhile..

Good morning

The "Ray's needing more bats" thing works well too Naoma.

Cute greeting for Wednesday Laurie.

Thanks for the link to "Nature" Lori.

Great vid of the puppy and new water bowl.

Another absolutely beautiful rose for FOTD Kat.
