Live Hummingbird Nest Cam – Oceanside, CA
Your watching a live broadcast of wild female hummingbirds nesting.
There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Their nests are usually located bushes and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Hummingbirds lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 14-16 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. More information about the cams, set-up or to make a donation please visit alyssasnaturesanctuary.org.
I thought of a awkward moment it includes Jade-one morning I was making coffee I had Jades wet food dish ready next to my coffee cup I put water then milk in my cup and then put the stevia sweetener on top of Jades cat food. Throw the wrapper away come back and I couldn’t figure out what was on Jades food so I dumped it out made a new bowl (this was wet food) for her anyhow went up stairs gave her food to her sat down got at the computer took a sip of coffee it didn’t taste… Read more »

🤣
Poor Jade at least I didn’t feed it to her🙄
It probably would not have hurt her but once she tasted it she would have probably been unhappy.
there is one sweetener not good for pets, though
😄

Good morning Bella Buds. Our temps are improving, yah! I hope we are done with below freezing daytime temps, but probably we aren’t. I’m still in my forever project of getting rid of stuff. Yesterday I worked on the contents of that lock box, but I also pulled out old sweats too big for me and threw them away. Today I’m going to look at jeans. Those way too big for me will go to Goodwill now. Some too big but not by a whole lot I may put in storage just in case, but I hope I never wear… Read more »
Good Morning Sparky⚡ my back does feel better, I need to do less sitting at the computer, that’s what really bothers me, then there’s shoveling. Carrying things back from the Dollar store, to heavy but I still do it. I make it worse and I know better🙄 I will follow your lady and do some cleaning😍
I have an advantage with a tablet, I think my butt and back would hurt if I sat at a table with a computer. What heavy things are you carrying? Maybe kitty litter and bird seed?
Just food stuff and the girl scout cookies and the 4 cans of Guinness. It was awkward to carry
You would probably think you sit on something hard again, what is that ?
Your butt bone , less flesh there now.
Remember the hip bone in your bed a little while ago ?😁
Now sometimes I turn, cross my legs or do something and “pinch” myself. That one was hard to figure out. Then I realized my loose skin was folding on itself underneath and pinching! 🤣😂🤭. My arms have “wings” when stretched out. It is lucky I have reached the age where I care less about appearance or I would have to wear long pants and long sleeve shirts all winter. Just so my clothes are neat and clean, I won’t worry to much about extra skin.
Well, my arms are not toned any more either, neither are my thighs and stomach. Oh, and my double chin , lol. 😂 If i get rid of some more weight, there will be more flabby skin. But i dont care about that and i wouldnt do any surgery on it. The only surgery like that was my “girls” and i am happy i did that. Should have had them done much earlier.😏 I am like you with clothes. Neat & clean , thats how i like it, too. When there is a little hole somewhere, i take needle and… Read more »
Thank you so much Gabi. It is just about one year now, 100 pounds. There is really nothing that can be done about wrinkles and excess skin, and no surgery for me either. Yes it is better to have loose skin than the weight. Your “girls” surgery probably helped your back, so worth it. I sometimes do very easy repairs on clothes. But usually by the time I have a rip or hole The whole garment is looking worn and needs to be replaced. Most of my clothes are durable!
100 pounds in 1 year ! Wowowowow !! Great ! Super well done !🌷🌹😲.
I guess my new girls helped my back, but i also kinda like the way they look now, lol. Oh boy ! Blush…😳🤭. But nothing in there, no silicone, just smaller and tightened.
Its been 2 years now that they were done.
My clothes must do well in the washer, hardly need ironing or no ironing😁 , and last long. Its mainly jeans, t shirts, sweaters, fleece stuff. Sneakers.
Thanks Gabi. I’m glad you like your new girls, it is good no silicone. You made them smaller I think?My clothes are like yours. Iron? What is that? (Just teasing).
From big , i mean BIG and saggy, to much smaller. Around a third is left.
Two thirds gone. And more firm. Doctor lady did wonders.
Wow Gabi that sounds great. Reminds me of an episode of Golden Girls.
Omg
That is a great show !
In the show Blanche had saved her money to get a girls job, but I think bigger! Then in the end she helped someone with the money and decided her breasts were just fine. It was cute. She had photo examples of what the doctor could do and the rest of the family walked by the table where she had them scattered out and all those breasts were looking up at them. The expressions on their faces!
Oh that blanche ! I am laughing, all those breasts looking up, haha.🤣
Good morning Julie Yep everything I do makes my back hurt feels better in the morning but then I start all over again so I can’t win
Thats it exactly Ardyth, and I try and do less, like it doesn’t hurt when I’m doing it, it just gradually gets sore after the fact
I think binders would help, maybe better ones. Even the best conditioned athletes use different preventive things.
I have a support thing but its so hard to get on
icing and stretching helps me…and once in a long while I/we go to the chiro
I do stretch every morning
that is really good, I don’t do that..the ones I do are specific to my back problems and I do them when I’m having problems.
There are probably better ones. Becki was talking about a support for her knee. She had many ones but none seemed to help. She splurged and bought a better one and she talked about how much more it helped. Of course a doctor can actually prescribe what might help with your particular need.
I have one that my chiro told me about and it did help but haven’t used it in years, not even sure if I still have it.
*lead not lady? auto correct is changing my words
Good morning Debbie! Did you have a lot of papers in your lock box. We don’t have much in ours Good for you getting rid of clothes Unfortunate for me I have to get bigger clothes maybe they’ll fit me
The clothes I’m getting rid of definitely wouldn’t fit you! The lock box isn’t too big. Still takes time deciding, then being sure I remove identifying names and numbers which I know I over do and is probably for the most part unnecessary. Accounts are closed, people are gone. My personal info is available online so I don’t know why I overdo this.
If that’s what you want to do, or how you want to do it. That’s fine and it just takes time-no worries
I’m concentrating on things in my bedroom now. I’ve reduce the content of my chest of drawers by half, maybe my dresser too. My closet will be reduced, but then probably added to somewhat. I don’t really need a lot of clothes. A big project will be going through my files in the file company, throwing away, organizing better. I think my hospital experience made me think. If some day I need assisted living do I want relatives going through all this and helping me downsize. They did that last spring when they helped Nancy move and it needed to… Read more »
I am pretty organized but there will be plenty to toss when we are both gone and if my sister isnt alive there wont be anyone to do it I guess. ALL of my 100 photo albums will be tossed out too.
Sad thoughts. Ardy, dont think of your photos now, but i do understand your thoughts. But they are here, you are here, everybody enjoys your pictures, and that will stay like this for a long time ,i hope.😘
I often think about what will be with my daughter, when we are gone.
When she didnt find a husband at all. She will be completely ALONE then. No family at all. I could cry…. i pray every day that God has a hubby for her.
Yeh there is nothing I can do and i wont know the difference when i am gone….they wont mean anything to anyone after i am gone.
Your daughter still has time…..how old is she? My BF JoAnn in MN was 48 when she married ….her first marriage.
My dd jenny will be 43 soon.
I guess i will never be a grandma, but thats ok. I am not so much into little babies anyway. Except when my dd was little. But my family will come to a stop then and everything will get forgotten. It would hurt my dad if he would know. Oh well….🥴.
PS: that was a cute pic of you with the drink you didnt like.
I won’t be a grandma but my sister is a “grandma” to her foster son’s kids…so I consider myself a great aunt.
I have no siblings, i only have my DH, DD and a cousin.
I know someone who got married in his 60s…and another person I know is engaged, in her 60s.
Good words for Ardy.
I hope for your daughter she finds a husband. A good man. Has she thought of adopting a child? My close friend’s son adopted a little girl about 4 years old. She is just like biological family, treated the same in every way as the other two grandchildren of her daughter.
adoption is wonderful 💕
You should know. Are you sure your son won’t adopt?
doubt it, he likes his freedom
Could change his mind when he retires from Ultra running?
of course I can’t say for sure but just doesn’t seem the type..
Some change as they get older. I don’t know your son so I’m sure you are right.
I dont think that she will adopt.
But you never know…
Such is life. Are you sure some of your relatives won’t want your photos?
We have downsized, too. For the same reasons. I dont want my dd to have to worry about so much stuff or papers when we are gone.
That is an act of love.
I guess so.
I always remove names and numbers before i throw stuff away.
A shredder would be good to have, but i dont have one.
I have a shredder. I use it if a page has lots of stuff needing destroyed but often just remove a little bit and the rest can be thrown. I dislike emptying the basket, it is hard to keep little bits of paper from getting on the floor.
I had already taken a pair of big scissors and cut such a page like a shredder would do it. I know, its crazy. Normally i tear it apart.
A little while ago i had replied to you but not hit post yet , now its gone.
I wanted to let you know in that reply that DH has hayfever and i wished the o’Wabbles a good night and also a good sleep later.🥰😍😘.
😁. Dizzy appreciates it! Sorry hubby has hay fever. Jo used to get that but doesn’t seem to any more.
Bleary- eyed is glad that jo doesnt have it any more.
But still better than that is, that YOU dont have it and I dont have it. Good grief, i write stupid mess, lol. Guess i am tired.😂
I am very lucky. The only allergy I have is amoxicillin. No food or outside allergies. Well, poison ivy is very bad if I touch that.
I was in hospital after taking metamizol. BAD allergy. Could not breathe.
Dont ask how it all happened, lol.
I was a teen, i was in my room and doing a headstand. (I can see you grin, lol.)
A creak , pain, doctor, painkiller pills with metamizol, red skin, swollen face, bloodshot spots on skin, …hospital, breathing problems, ok again after a week or so.
Oh no that is and! But I guess now you smile a little about it.
Yes, but i never again take those pills.
Good night sweetie, its very late here.😘😍
Good night Gabi Habili. Enjoy talking to you. Love you. 🥰♥️
Love you, too. 🤗
I know our fireproof box sits in the bottom of our closet, and isnt real big either.
What happened to the funeral pants ?
Always good to get rid of stuff.
Happy day debbie.
Evening here and slowly getting dark. I was outside today, walked in the sunshine, was sitting on my balcony in the sunshine , now i have cold feet and need to get moving. DH just came home, now i have “to care for him ” . Hugs and kissy to you.😘
I still have my funeral pants! Sounds good to sit and walk outside in the sunshine. We will be warm in a couple of days. Take good care of your husband. I think he takes good care of you. 🥰♥️
Good Morning Bellas it did snow last night a couple of inches it’s hard to beleive I had no snow and it sure is pretty I was ready for spring, I just got so tired last night, I just zonked out. Slept hard. I even ignored Jade trying to get me up this morning today on my calendar it says its awkward moments day. Lets tell a awkward moment we have had. I have had many I want to remember a good one I’m thinking of a good one🤔Have a great day😘
Good morning Sunshine. Did the snow shoveling cause the tiredness? Some of it could be emotions talking to your Dad. Even positive things can be draining. All of the awkward moments are stressful that are popping in my mind. I’ll tell one of I can think of a funny one.Have a good day, hope it warms up enough you can sweep that snow away instead of shovel. Your back needs a continued rest.
I might sweep it or at least try, its not that much- I want to call the city and report some people for not clearing their sidewalk, I had a heck of a time walking there yesterday- everyone else has their sidewalks cleared. I worked hard on mine to get it cleared so I feel like reporting them so they get a fine
Hello
On my walk i saw this rock and thought the design looked like a kitten😻
I fed the birds and pets. I will give myself my version of a mani and it is time for Nikki to have a trim and bath
which i really dont like to do, it tires me out.
Rick got pads and filter for the swamp cooler so he wants to get it going today.
Good morning Ardy, you got an eagle eye. Cute rock. That rock beside Kitty looks like a chocolate covered caramel. Kitty don’t eat the chocolate! Makes those nails and Nikki all pretty. And Rick, stay safe up there on the roof.
Good Morning Debbie😍
I passed it by and then turned around to take a picture to post here.
Good Morning Ardyth, I do see a kitten or a chick I can see eyes and what looks like a little been like Tweety bird
could be a chick too
I can see that or maybe an owl 😀
🦉
Good night to all. Karen have a safe trip to with little Dutchess tomorrow. I hope you get a positive report and all goes well. I forgot, how old is she? That little cutie. Julie and Ardy hope your backs are resting right along with you and you are improved tomorrow. Julie, glad you got to talk to your parents and hope Dad is growing stronger and is home soon. Lynn hope the drip spat is soon no more. Pam I don’t know what to hope for you so I’ll just say I love you. I miss Lin and Gem,… Read more »
Habibi !!🫂👭🥰
corned beef supper which was delicious and time for bed
Looks mighty Irish and tasty, Ardyth. Glad you enjoyed it. Sleep well. 😘
It looks wonderful 😋
Wow looks delicious. Is the sauce mayo, maybe horseradish? Good night Ardy. Did you see my post below when I said your hair looked great at the bar?
I saw on FB but i didnt like it in the picture
creamy horseradish
Very good !😃
Does this picture contain one frame on the left and then three small frames on the right?
I see it now Karen, thank you. But before the nest block was taking up the whole frame. I’m going to eat now, back in a bit.
Okay, cool. I thought I was seeing something that nobody else was seeing. 🤣🤯 Enjoy your supper!! 🌹
