I've had a bug the last week or so myself. I was on a 10 day course of Augmentin which did absolutely nothing for me. I'm now on Levaquin, which seems to be working.

I can't stop the coughing either. Neither Mrs. MacNessa nor I have slept well lately.

Didn’t get out at all. The wind was really blustery so I stayed put. Wasn’t anywhere I needed to be anyway. LOL!

I don’t know how you find names for all of them and then remember each one. LOL! All the black and white kitties around here are called Mojo, for our high school battle call. :) The mascot is a Panther.

OOOOOO! Erupted is right! Look at all those snowy blooms! Gorgeous!

I have no idea what the name of these roses is because Hubby's mom planted them years ago. They're growing up into a dogwood tree and the buckeye tree that's next to it. They start blooming about the same time the dogwood blossoms fizzle out. This pic was snapped last week.

That's beautiful! I thought my Jacobite was done after the ice storms we had this winter - but she pulled through after all. I planted that rose in 1991 and she has served well over the last quarter century.

If the wind there has been anything like at OKC, can’t blame ya for staying in.

Just breezy here today so it wasn’t too bad having to do the grocery shopping. At least the rain held off until late tonight/early in the morning.

I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy and get a lot of the names from books. And you should recognize the lil feller’s name since that’s the name of our favorite white-tailed eagle in Latvia. :-)

Aaaaaah, that’s the one you worried about after the ice storms? Looks like she came through QUITE well. Looks very healthy now.

I don’t know how old the pink roses are. They were there when I moved here in ‘99 and had been around for a while then. Hubby doesn’t remember when his mom planted them.
It’s nice to look out the kitchen window and see that big spray of pink.

I definitely did recognize that one! I’ll be glad when that cam comes back up for a new...hopefully better...season!

it was pretty strong wind. I had no real pressing reason to go anywhere, so I didn’t. I LOVE that I can make that decision! LOL! It is cooler and will be cooler tomorrow. Which means I’ll sleep well. That’s always a good thing!

I just hope he’s the one who shows up to reclaim the nest for next season and that he doesn’t get run off. That nest has gone through so many changes of occupants this year. LOL

Last year’s male started out at the nest this year but was run off and the changes just kept coming.

Been catching up on all the birds tonight since I didn’t get to watch them last night. It’s cracking me up that Primo moved back home.

You’re lucky you didn’t have need to get out in it. I reckon it was kicking up a lot of dust. GACK!

We had strong winds Sunday and I had to go visit Aunt Clara. The wind was shoving the car all over the highway between here and the nursing home.
Tomorrow’s visit day again and they have us under another wind advisory. *sigh* Gonna be a repeat of Sunday, plus we’ll have rain with it this time. Tomoorow’s temps will be comfy enough but they say Friday’s high will only be 55! That’s TOO cool!

I keep thinking we’re through with jacket weather and it just won’t go away!

Primo is smart! He knows where the food is and that it’s a lot easier to eat on a flat surface. LOL! It’s very entertaining...especially while the eagles are all snoozing. :)

I only watched that nest part of last year, so am not that familiar with the adults. I wonder whatever became of the sweetie that fell off the nest. I’m not sure there have been any updates on him.

Well I just checked their page and this is what was at the top:

“sea-eagle60 nest report:
4:50 PM May 3 posted on seaeagle cam SS.
Hello all. Looks like action again very soon in Sydney
Working on pulling cables in place next week and turning things on again.
Then camera maintenance and hopefully eagle action....”

Just very strange seeing a fledgling return to the nest like Primo did after being away so long. It threw everyone for a loop.

I wondered what you meant about the cam coming back up. We were talking about two different nests. LOL!

I’m waiting for the sea eagle nest cam to come up too. They’d said they’d turn it back on when Dad and Lady got down to serious business for this season. Looking forward to watching everything this year.

I hope Peaglet is thriving. Things seemed to be going well last updates we read.
