Good morning, after today a clear week so it says but we all know its often wrong !
I have two nests a Goshawk and a Golden Eagle so I am keeping to those but I am keeping Brownville up all the time to see how the Duck nests go !
Chesapeake have started their nest the only ones to start from scratch !
I’m sitting here wondering what to write but nothing comes to mind so I will leave it up to you all to do the writing ! 🤗
Hi Beryl
I dont always have much to say either. I am getting anxious about Iris She is 30 years old and her return date is around April 7.
I was always that way with Otis the bear and he didnt return………….. 😪
So here’s hoping we see Iris and she finds a good mate this year.
Hard to believe Iris is 30 years old. Seems amazing!
She is the oldest living known Osprey♥♥
Hi Beryl,
Chesapeake has a lot of work but I have no doubt they will have a big lovely nest when they finish.
I have had that empty head feeling of what did I do to write about…lol
Good Saturday morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
Another cloudy and cool start to the day will be no sunshine today again.
Just a high of 48F with that gusty wind still blowing.
Looking at the weather going forward on my weather app one day next week on the Wednesday is showing a temp of 70F.
But that is for one day then back then into the 50F range for the rest of next week.
Coffee time now with a couple of bread sticks,
Will see you all in a while. 😀 😘
Hello Ice
Oh nothing worse than strong winds. Our neighbors beautiful tree with the yellow flowers are all gone now because of the wind.
Hi Ardy.
I am with you there it plays havoc with the flowering trees.
Sooner we get a light wind all the better for the new flowering trees and bushes. 😘
Good morning Ice,
I sure hope that one 70 degree day does happen!
Hi Jenn.
I would settle for that one day to get a taste of whats to come.lol.
I hope, but not a heat wave. 😀 😘
Jenn, wanted to congratulate you on selling the house in SC to move permanently back home to Maine. The extension added to the little cabin will make for a lovely retirement place; the land it sits on is spectacular. {{HUGS}} 💗
Be careful of the mice and a lurking cookie monster 😎
😀 😘
😁 They have changed this emoji and I don’t like it ! 😾
Thank you Pam. 💗 Ice said yesterday Maine is in our blood and that rings so true.
There were five yellow finches on the wire but two flew away
Great picture of the finches, love the pretty yellow. 💛
@Kathy S Did you get your stick Vac yet? I think mine comes today.
Good morning, I have not said anything about our plans because I did not want to put the whammy on it, so to speak. It will be no surprise I guess that we have decided to locate permanently back to Maine. We miss our family too much and it has not been quite like we hoped living here. We had an offer on our house on the 20th and we have worked through the crucial days of that with them being allowed to move here in this community ( you have to apply and have a background check ) and… Read more »
Hi Jenn, proper nomads you two but if you have the money then moving is no problem and I wonder if this will be the last move.
Will you live in the cabin in the Winter or will you be buying another house ? I see from watching cams that Maine Winters are hard so is the cabin warm and solid enough for the snow and cold of Maine winters but for now the weather will be slowly changing towards Summer so plenty of time to look around ! 😀
Hi Beryl,
Yes the cabin is insulated and we have heat. We are having an addition put on it starting in May. We will take it one day
at a time. We do have some thoughts about winter time, the cabin is insulated and heated so it will not be a problem keeping warm. : 🙂
Sounds good, your reply only just came up and more appeared as I answered so where they were hiding I know not, lol !
😄
Good morning Jenn!! I knew this was happening…..lol I could tell from the way you talked…..I understand being so far away from your family….life is short, enjoy your family all you can.
Now..I believe when I met you you were wintering in FL and had a home….I am trying to figure out how many homes you have had since then…can you name them?
I kept some pictures because I like to go back and look at ALL pictures in my life……
Did i miss any homes?
Thanks Ardy! This made me laugh you have the right order of the houses too!…lol
Denny and I lived in our home in Washington for 20+ years then once we started moving, it has been busy!
Denny does say now we should have stayed in the Apartment and just rented down south rather than buying. But hindsight is everything right?
Lol I wasnt sure if they were the right order. I never saw the outside of the house you live in now or your FL home. Maybe you can help me out so my photos will be complete. :)
I kept all the info on the houses but lately when my computer went crazy I had to remove stuff but I remember all of them !
😫
😊
Hi Jenn.
I am not at all surprised because for you family means everything so well done you.
I do not think you are crazy, because that is your roots calling you back where you belong. 😘
Thank you Ice, that is very nice of you to say this. 💗 We do miss family terribly.
And I’m just jealous, lol !
😂
Good Morning, Yesterday was cooler and cloudy but, no rain like they predicted. I did give myself a pedi and polished my toes with this bright color I ordered from the shows that have deals of the day. This color has never been me but I wanted to try it…..Nah, not my color but it will do since I have nails to match. I did lots of laundry. Our power went out for 40 minutes due to an accident down the street, two vehicles involved and one hit a power pole. Have you heard of the new show The secret… Read more »
I love this beautiful green view at Amyjo’s
@icecream do you heard why the Seaton tram still is w/o sound this season AND no chat?
Hi Ardy.
I have no idae about that I have given up on it only the occasional visit 😏
I have given up too but i check in hoping to hear toot toot!!!
Looks vibrantly green, so pretty.💚
Hi Ardy, yes I liked it there too, nice and green peaceful !
Yes and I love to see people and dogs walking by.
Hi Ardy,
Your toes look perfect, I need to do a pedicure soon!
Too bad you lost your power, it seems they got it back pretty quickly though.
I haven’t heard of that show, where do you watch it?
Disney + is where I watched it.
We do not have that, we only have Prime and Netflix now.
My girlfriend gave me her password a couple years ago so i could watch Taylors Era concert so I still have access to it…lucky me ♥
