Jann although it was HOT here all Summer I don't think we broke 100 this year. We got pretty close a couple of days though, but no cigar.

you are right we didnt hit the century mark, i looked and the top temp this season was only 99. Normally too we have 21 days over 90 degrees adn this year only 15 with the first being before summer even started the last being two weeks ago.

I hope that doesnt mean we will have the coldest winter in ages . PECO/EXELON and the heating oil man are not really our friend after all, they only love us for our money rofl

George- Dr. Sharpe wrote to me telling me my small wing blings for my Flapping Eagle cap are finished and they are waiting for them to dry.  I can't wait to get them so I can put them on.

GREAT, now we only need an occasion here in the east to wear them.

Hopefully, I will finally find out what and when the next ,pardon the pun, step will be with my left foot a week from this wednesday. IF tendon surgery again is to be done, i would rather get it done now than when its colder and the risk of ice appears. (besides, i cant wear shorts in winter and dont want to cut a seam in my levis to get over the harness they put onto the foot post op)

With the ice, i dont want to risk doing a "Mrs Fletcher" and have to say <::: IVE FALLEN AND I CANT GET UP! rofl

George I sent you an e-mail.

I agree with you on getting it taken care of prior to Winter setting in. I'm hoping for a nice Indian Summer now.

I had to bring in my Night Blooming Cerus today. It was getting to cool at nights for it to stay outside 24/7.

It doesn't appear anyone was interested in coming East, so I'm going West. Not sure of the details yet. I have to work them out. Have plenty of time to do that. Hopefully there won't be another family crisis as we had last year when I had to stay close by home.

Vicki I sent you an email before I saw your post about Bruce. Yes that is my friend's son in law. Bruce used to live in my complex. You are absolutely right. Such a dear sweet man. He is the one that saw my Bernie fly out the door. I would not have him today if it weren't for Bruce.

I'm not sure about my test. I was unable to take it. They had someone reading it to me and it just did not compute in my head that way. Perhaps this is not the right course for me to take at this time. And there was some discussions about my ability to actually do the work. Not necessarily the actual procedure as that is all in the touch and feel. But more in the processing of the paperwork etc. It does present some challenges now. I have to chat with my counselor. I may have to go on to something else.

Love love loved the purple flower and bee. (I don't really like bees, or rather they don't like me!)

I loved the school answering machine. So appropos (sp??)

Guess I will be helping DD move stuff this weekend. I have a little party to go to at my boss house tomorrow. Hope it's a little cooler tomorrow

I have faith that they will catch the culprits that set the fire. Police and fire will do their utmost to catch them.

Deb so sorry about the puter prob's. I hate that!! Wrong timing for being sick. Perhaps you can parlay that into next week???

Penny do they allow the Eagles in captivity to mate? I was wondering given the curiousity of who was in the next pen or was that all it is.

Hikers is your family still here?

Just sent an email to Burpee Seed company based up there in your neck of hte woods cricket. I hope they are able to tell me if they give credit to any of the photographers who did the images used in their seed catalogs and if so would they be able to tell me what years my great grandfather shot for thier catalogs.

I am hoping that if they can, i can then seek and find old "antique catalogs" for the early years and the last that he shot images for them to go along with the shot i have of Atlee's Son David with mr and mrs Eisenhower from 1948

Never understood why i loved shooting botanicals but i suppose its in my genes. This way , should i obtain the catalogs i can contrast and compare his with my own images. (i know his were much better than i could ever home mine to be alas)

I don't think that happens at WCV but it does happen at the Winnipeg Zoo where there is a mated pair of non-releaseable eagles who usually hatch an egg or two almost every other year. They are very senior in years...almost 45 years old now. Their juvies can never be released either because they become habituated to humans.

Dr. Wrigley wrote me in May after I asked after those birds (the juvies who had been put in a separate pen).....they were sent to European facilities along with four other Bald and Golden eagles – all either born here or rescued from the wild due to injury. He also stated... "Since the species is not at risk currently over most of Canada, there are no plans to release captive-born birds, as has been done in recovery efforts in the USA. The numbers in the wild are back to normal in Canada, after periods of low numbers due to poisoning (e.g., DDT etc)."

And the eagles at the Waco, Texas zoo have produced many offspring! I don't know whether they are released or sent to other zoos or wildlife programs though.

Gee seems that they should be able to release the babies to somewhere like to Peter's facility so they wouldn't get humanized. What a shame.

The moon just started shining in my window. Sure is beautiful. Meant to ask Cat if it 's just the first moon of Sept makes it a corn moon or if there is another reason. Also what is a blue corn moon??/

Blue moon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the astronomical phenomenon. For other uses, see Blue Moon (disambiguation).

A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days. The extra days accumulate, so that every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon." Different definitions place the "extra" moon at different times.

* In calculating the dates for Lent and Easter, the Clergy identify the Lent Moon. It is thought that historically when the moon's timing was too early they named an earlier moon as a "betrayer moon" ("belewe" moon), thus the Lent moon came at its expected time.
* Folklore gave each moon a name according to its time of year. A moon which came too early had no folk name - and was called a blue moon - bringing the correct seasonal timings for future moons
* The Farmer's Almanac defined blue moon as an extra full moon that occurred in a season; one season was normally three full moons. If a season had four full moons, then the third full moon was named a blue moon.
* Recent popular usage defined a blue moon as the second full moon in a month, stemming from an interpretation error made in 1946 that was discovered in 1999.[1]

The term "blue moon" is commonly used metaphorically to describe the rarity of an event, as in the idiomatic expression "once in a blue moon."
