LOL! Is that from a movie?
What a wonderful introduction to her new home...a birthday moose. Anyone that approaches a moose is a fool. Glad she has been taught that already. They can kick to the front.
The west edge of my neighborhood backs up to college property and lots of woods. Lots of moose in there...they can come east into the neighborhood or go west thru the woods coming out on campus. A couple years ago a group of folks got too close and the moose stomped a man to death. They can be very crabby and do not tolerate harassing.
She’s enjoying the shoveling and is clearing the deck every time a couple inches accumulates. It’s really easy, therapeutic, and provides instant gratification.
Just push the shovel...no lifting. We left a 4 inch gap at the bottom of the sides....push snow over the edge. LOL!
Try to stay dry when you go shopping.
Good evening/morning, my...have you had a good weekend?
Celebrating at the VFW Friday night?
Great rainfall!! This will help the land when it’s time to plant. Sure hope you don’t get anything but a bit of wind with the rain. The rain is the important part!
I’m glad they’ll get a mic...and I hope a closer cam while they’re at it. LOL! I keep hoping she’ll lay a 3rd egg. :)
I have warned them about keeping their distance. It is a pretty cool thing to see for the first time, though.
So far they seem to like it up there. My DIL would love to be warm again, but guess that’s a hint to my son to turn the thermostat up a bit! LOL! He always keeps it too cold in their house for this cold-natured person. :)
She ENJOYS shoveling? You can tell it’s still a novelty to her. LOL! But with no lifting, it isn’t too bad.
Just got back from the store and managed to do it fairly dry. Had been keeping an eye on the radar and saw we had a brief lull and made a run for it. Good to go now.
Yep, we’re happy with the amount we’ve gotten so far and there’ll be more by the time the system moves out of here.
Now we wait to see how much wind we get.
I’ll take a better cam angle over a mic any day. I can enjoy it without audio but would like to be able to see the nest better. Maybe whoever set it all up needs to check out other nest cams to see how it should be done. :-)
I don’t know her egg-laying history so don’t know what to expect. She might be one who always lays two. Guess we’ll see soon enough.

rescue helicopters arrived, and when the helicopter that was to extract him from the battlefield crashed, he ignored his own injuries to save the downed craft's pilot. Zabitosky was later promoted to Sergeant First Class and, in 1969, was presented with the Medal of Honor by President Richard Nixon. He retired from the Army after 30 years of service with the rank of Master Sergeant.
exposing himself to concentrated enemy automatic weapons fire, directed their return fire. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Sfc. Zabitosky ordered his patrol to move to a landing zone for helicopter extraction while he covered their withdrawal with rifle fire and grenades. Rejoining the patrol under increasing enemy pressure, he positioned each man in a tight perimeter defense and continually moved from man to man, encouraging them and controlling their defensive fire. Mainly due to his example, the outnumbered patrol maintained its precarious position until the arrival of tactical air support and a helicopter extraction team. As the rescue helicopters arrived, the determined North Vietnamese pressed their attack. Sfc. Zabitosky repeatedly exposed himself to their fire to adjust suppressive helicopter gunship fire around the landing zone. After boarding 1 of the rescue helicopters, he positioned himself in the door delivering fire on the enemy as the ship took off. The helicopter was engulfed in a hail of bullets and Sfc. Zabitosky was thrown from the craft as it spun out of control and crashed. Recovering consciousness, he ignored his extremely painful injuries and moved to the flaming wreckage. Heedless of the danger of exploding ordnance and fuel, he pulled the severely wounded pilot from the searing blaze and made repeated attempts to rescue his patrol members but was driven back by the intense heat. Despite his serious burns and crushed ribs, he carried and dragged the unconscious pilot through a curtain of enemy fire to within 10 feet of a hovering rescue helicopter before collapsing. Sfc. Zabitosky's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.
