I've missed so much over the past two weeks. I traded in my old car with nearly 208,000 miles for a newer model. That took much of my attention the first week and I had internet issues earlier this week. I have to go back and re-read all the comments. I'm sorry I haven't kept-up with everything. I had to make it back before the Eagles' eggs start to hatch hopefully sometime next week.
Yaay! welcome back my friend :hug: I was just about to send the Minions on a mission to check on you :D

Sorry to hear about your internet problems, what a nightmare that must've been.

Are you happy with your newer car? and are you like me and feel sad saying goodbye to your old car? :pen:



That will be a long book with all my plants. I do like this book idea.
Its a great idea for a book and the possibilities are endless. I just hope no one in internet-land is reading about this book and pinches our idea. :yikey:


I did purchase a rescue Orchid on 20 February while I was away from TT. Her name is Winter Star.
Oh wowzer! a new Orchid! :D and what a very cool name she has. What colour is she?


We'll see who will be laughing as my hotness reigns supreme.
What is this hotness you speak of? :NI:


How is Hope doing? I hope some good news.
The good news is .... she is still alive. The bad news is that we are down to 5 leaves :fp: .... I'm still clinging onto the idea that she might just burst into life as Spring progresses. Thank you for asking.


My Pinkie Poinsettia has decided to stay in the realm of the living and has started to sprout small pink leaves from her stem. Good news as I was worried about this plant.
That's great news :clap: you're obviously giving her what she needs to thrive again.


Have you had your hair cut since I vanished two weeks ago?
:floor: ... I have no idea why that question made me laugh, but it did.

In answer to your question...no I haven't :lol: Our Hairdressers are not due to open until April, so things are getting a bit desperate, it wouldn't be so bad if I could see where I'm walking ...Lol!


It is cold and windy here today. Some warm days have melted the snow.
You still have snow? is your weather similar to what our eagles have? I've noticed that they've had some very windy days recently.

How is your weather?
Its slowly improving, thanks. Cold, but dry and we have just this moment had the most beautiful sunset with a red-sky, so that's a good sign for tomorrow :gotcha:

I see people driving with their mask on while they’re alone in the car as well. I don’t get it either. Personally I think it hinders ur vision. I’ve left it on by mistake sometimes after a stop and I notice I can’t see as well, so I would imagine it’s even worse for the older people to drive with them.
I know what you mean. Even just walking around the supermarket when wearing my mask I feel hindered, as though my vision is impaired.


Any word on when the lockdown will end for you over there?
We now have a plan, thanks for asking... or I should say Boris has a plan :lol: Next week our schools re-open, they've been closed since Christmas, also people who live in Care Homes are allowed to have visitors again, I've felt so sorry for all those people not being able to see their loved ones.

After that, new areas slowly open week, by week until the end of June, things such as non-essential shops, gyms, hairdressers meeting up with our families and friends again.

I don't think I've explained all this well, but hopefully you will get the picture DFF :)

I’m glad you like my avatar! I downloaded quite a few and I’m gonna keep switching them out every couple of weeks.
Ooo how exciting! :dance:


You and Michelle created a monster now!! I warned you both!!
"a monster" ...:laughing:

you're a quick learner DFF and I'm so glad you're enjoying trying different avatars, I hope I still recognise you ..Lol!



Btw:- Have you recently earned the title of Dream Maker? :cool1

Those eagles look very serious to me today. I feel like we’re intruding LOL!!

@Long Lashes I’m happy to see it’s starting to get back to normal where you live. Where I live in Florida we never had a lockdown, we never had a mask mandate, we never had anything and I’m really not sure why that is. Quite honestly I’m not sure how I’m still alive considering but I’m very careful.

I don’t know what a Telly Talk Dream Maker is but I do like the way it sounds. I hope this doesn’t mean people are going to start asking me to grant their wishes or anything like that though LOL!! It sounds like a genie or something.

Welcome back Michelle!! We definitely missed you!! 208,000 miles? Wow! You obviously take very good care of ur cars. How long did you have it if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you! I appreciate the kind thoughts. :)

207,764.8 miles to be exact. I had that car for nearly eight years. I will miss it as it never let me down. Emotionally it was hard to get rid of something that was so dependable. With the worst of winter hopefully behind me I thought I better find something newer and leave my old car as a great memory before it started to nickel-and-dime me to death.

I get frustrated when my internet is slow or not working. :censer:
Are you happy with your newer car? and are you like me and feel sad saying goodbye to your old car? :pen:

Yes indeed! I wasn't too happy about having to trade it in as I was so fond of that old blue car. It never let me down and was so reliable. I just fear this one will never fill the same shoes the old one did but we all get old and things have to move on. I was nearly in tears at the dealership when I signed the title to sell my old car.
larmeoeil.gif
I'll try to search for it and hope someone could use it as it probably had a few years left in it. I just drive long distances for work and a car with 207K miles was a increasing risk of trouble. Having said that my new car or crossover as the call it has a panoramic sunroof which I like and higher overall driving position as opposed to a car.

Its a great idea for a book and the possibilities are endless. I just hope no one in internet-land is reading about this book and pinches our idea. :yikey:
Well they would only have to "husk" of the idea, I live it so they would have nothing. If they take this idea I'd be pinching them and it would not be a loving pinch I can tell you.

Oh wowzer! a new Orchid! :D and what a very cool name she has. What colour is she?

She, Winter Star is white. I remember how cold that night was taking her out of the home improvement store and the full moon in the sky.

I bought my eighteenth, twentieth overall, orchid this weekend, a deep magenta coloured orchid. She is a real beauty. One a month so I have March down. I'll share photos soon. I love these orchids as you can tell and it's all your fault my friend. :)
What is this hotness you speak of? :NI:
Pfft! :huh:
The good news is .... she is still alive. The bad news is that we are down to 5 leaves :fp: .... I'm still clinging onto the idea that she might just burst into life as Spring progresses. Thank you for asking.

Oh no! Id you still have leaves there is always hope for Hope. Spring is just around the corner for longer daylight hours. I so hope she makes it. :pray:
That's great news :clap: you're obviously giving her what she needs to thrive again.

I must have as the new growths were a complete surprise. She must have liked her plant family I have here and decided to live.

:floor: ... I have no idea why that question made me laugh, but it did.

In answer to your question...no I haven't :lol: Our Hairdressers are not due to open until April, so things are getting a bit desperate, it wouldn't be so bad if I could see where I'm walking ...Lol!

We could call you Rapunzel at the TT Cafe until you get a cut. :hide:
You still have snow? is your weather similar to what our eagles have? I've noticed that they've had some very windy days recently.

Very similar to what the eagles have. Most of the snow has melted and warmer temps forecast this week. Yes, very windy this past weekend hence the cam issue at the Farm Country Eagle cam.

Its slowly improving, thanks. Cold, but dry and we have just this moment had the most beautiful sunset with a red-sky, so that's a good sign for tomorrow :gotcha:

Sunsets are so lovely. Did you have much snow this winter? How are your Snowdrops? Any other plants coming up in your garden on the eve of Spring?

@Michelle Stevens I totally understand what ur saying as I get very attached to my cars as well. I bought my current one in November of 2011 and it only has 78,000 miles on it. Obviously most of my driving is work related and in a company vehicle so I really don’t drive my own car that much.

But when that day comes when I finally have to get rid of it I see myself holding on to the tires for deal life and not letting go as they drive it away. I dread that day LOL!!

I so know the feeling. I was nearly in tears when I had to relinquish my ownership of my old car at the dealership two weeks ago. I had looked at other vehicles in Dec. 2019 and February 2020 but each time I just couldn't pull the trigger.

They become a part of your life and it's hard to say goodbye. You have had your vehicle even longer so it will be hard sure to end that chapter in your automotive life.

@Long Lashes I’m happy to see it’s starting to get back to normal where you live.
Thanks, DFF. Its going to be a slow process of returning to some sort of normality, but at least we are now moving in a positive direction.
I will let you know when the hairdressers reopen and I get my longed for hair cut :laughing:


Where I live in Florida we never had a lockdown, we never had a mask mandate, we never had anything and I’m really not sure why that is. Quite honestly I’m not sure how I’m still alive considering but I’m very careful.
Wow, that's incredible! I thought everywhere in the world was in lockdown at some time or other. Thankfully, you have the common sense to be careful.


I don’t know what a Telly Talk Dream Maker is but I do like the way it sounds.
Its a lovely title to have :D


I hope this doesn’t mean people are going to start asking me to grant their wishes or anything like that though LOL!! It sounds like a genie or something.

Yes they have fixed the camera, thank goodness and I do love this view. I was watching Guy and Lipstick earlier and some of those Starlings get quite near to them, they're fearless little birds.


That's a fab image! look at that face :D



This should be the week for some hatching.
I'm getting quite excited about this . If I remember correctly it was Liberty who laid her eggs first? I have everything crossed for Liberty and Freedom after last years sadness.

She, Winter Star is white. I remember how cold that night was taking her out of the home improvement store and the full moon in the sky.
I should've guessed she would be white with that name . We have had a full moon too recently , doesn't it look amazing.



I bought my eighteenth, twentieth overall, orchid this weekend, a deep magenta coloured orchid. She is a real beauty. One a month so I have March down.
Welcome to the new Orchid ;) and it sounds like she is a gorgeous colour.

love these orchids as you can tell and it's all your fault my friend.
I'm more than happy to take the blame :lol: if they bring you joy then that's a bonus.


:Clol:


Oh no! Id you still have leaves there is always hope for Hope. Spring is just around the corner for longer daylight hours. I so hope she makes it.
Some positive news today. I was giving her the once-over this morning and I noticed two tiny weeny new green leaves ... I'm hoping this is the first of many leaves. At least she's still trying .


We could call you Rapunzel at the TT Cafe until you get a cut.
:floor: .... I think I'm starting to look more like Tina Turner than Rapunzel ....lol!


Very similar to what the eagles have. Most of the snow has melted and warmer temps forecast this week. Yes, very windy this past weekend hence the cam issue at the Farm Country Eagle cam.
This is interesting to know. Which means that you also might get t he gorgeous sunrises which Liberty and Freedom get?


Did you have much snow this winter? How are your Snowdrops? Any other plants coming up in your garden on the eve of Spring?
We had about average snow this winter... roughly about 2 - 3 weeks worth.

Funny you should ask about the garden as I've been out there this afternoon weeding . The Snowdrops and Crocuses are past their best now, but we have had loads of them. We now have what I call "small daffodils" otherwise known as narcissi ...I think :lol:

Today I planted some Sweat Peas and sowed some Sunflower seeds ...... I'm hoping the birds don't eat the seeds ... maybe, I should make some tiny scarecrows? :cool1


Do you have any signs of spring yet?

Indeed they are fearless and talkative. If only they were members of TT they could tell us more about Guy and Lipstick. ;)

That's a fab image! look at that face :D
I got this image of what at first looks like a two headed Eagle.

dacfcc57ef74c2e65642e9c4f0246b1e

I saw double headed Eagles while in Russia, on their coat of arms and flags but never on a nest.

I'm getting quite excited about this . If I remember correctly it was Liberty who laid her eggs first? I have everything crossed for Liberty and Freedom after last years sadness.
Yes, Liberty laid her egg before Lipstick by a few days. it's day 35 or 36 for the first egg so I have my fingers crossed. I so hope this is a successful year. I do worry that after last year Liberty's age may be becoming an issue if these eggs are non viable.

By next week both nest should have hatched. :pray:

Very nice 'Lashes but do you think they would listen to you? :p
I'm just the same. it makes me feel locked out :mad: I hope its all sorted for you now.

It is, thankfully.
You sound just like me :) I too have got near to tears saying goodbye to a car.

That is one reason I stayed away over those two week, a little bit sad about that as odd as that may sound.
Ooo that sounds fab! I'm sure you will soon bond with your new car . May I ask what colour is it?

I hope so as I get more accustomed to it. It is white with a beige coloured interior. The new vehicle has so much more tech in it so I have to learn how it all works.
Lol!... no one would dare to steal your idea after that threat :lmao:
They better not!
grrrrr.gif

I should've guessed she would be white with that name . We have had a full moon too recently , doesn't it look amazing.

Indeed, I enjoy full moons. They lighten the dark landscapes so well.
Welcome to the new Orchid ;) and it sounds like she is a gorgeous colour.

She is and I plan to share a photo of my two newest soon. I did pay full price for my most recent orchid but I wanted to treat myself and they had no discount orchids available that day.

BTW, are you still looking for a friend for Orkie?
I'm more than happy to take the blame :lol: if they bring you joy then that's a bonus.

:best:
Some positive news today. I was giving her the once-over this morning and I noticed two tiny weeny new green leaves ... I'm hoping this is the first of many leaves. At least she's still trying .

Oh joy, this is positive news after so many week of decline. Let's hope more leave appear and grow as Spring approaches. Maybe Hope has decided to live. :pray:

Oh my! :laughing: I hope your hairdressers open soon for you. :)
This is interesting to know. Which means that you also might get t he gorgeous sunrises which Liberty and Freedom get?

Very similar.

We had about average snow this winter... roughly about 2 - 3 weeks worth.

So your winter is probably over? Do you have very windy days? It seems to be more windy here during the Winter than other times of the year.
Funny you should ask about the garden as I've been out there this afternoon weeding . The Snowdrops and Crocuses are past their best now, but we have had loads of them. We now have what I call "small daffodils" otherwise known as narcissi ...I think :lol:
Do they look like this?

How I love Spring flowers after months of ugly and grey landscapes.

Do your Robins eat those seeds? How have your Robins been? Any news of what happened to your old garden cat? I do hope your Sunflowers and Sweet Peas make it. :)
Do you have any signs of spring yet?
I took a walk today and noticed the Daffodils are starting to peak above the ground in a few locations. We are also having a warm stretch of days here so that helps melt what snow is left.

Looks as if at least one of the eggs is in the process of hatching.


It is day #38 for eggs 1 and #35 for 2. I think it may be egg 2 that is hatching as 35 days is the normal period. I hope I'm wrong and both hatch and they are both just a little behind.

Early Saturday update, one eaglet has been hatched to Liberty and Freedom. :roll:

I think you might be right, but at least they now have one baby and I must admit I've been a little anxious this past couple of days, I kept checking and re-checking the nest for any signs of a hatching. I was worried that Lipstick and Guys eggs would hatch before Freedom and Liberty's, because that would mean bad news for Free and Lib as they laid their eggs first.

This is the BEST NEWS :gidd::gidd: :gidd:

After last years heartbreak I'm so chuffed for them!


I've been trying to catch their chick on the live cam all day today, but Liberty and/or Freedom are stuck like glue on top of it so I've not been able to take a shot.


Here's one someone else took and I pinched from the website....

Very nice 'Lashes but do you think they would listen to you?
I would've found a way to make those Minions listen to me :bang:


I hope so as I get more accustomed to it. It is white with a beige coloured interior. The new vehicle has so much more tech in it so I have to learn how it all works.
It sounds very swish :cool1 white and beige are a classy combo.

Good luck with all that tech, I'm sure you will soon suss how it all works .... unlike me, who is still trying to get to grips with a simple new ipad :lol:


I did pay full price for my most recent orchid but I wanted to treat myself and they had no discount orchids available that day.
If you paid full price, does that mean she is in tip-top condition? I think we all need to treat ourselves at times :) I've just sent for a couple of books from Amazon.



BTW, are you still looking for a friend for Orkie?
I am :cool1 although I must admit I've only been looking half-heartedly these past few months. Our lockdown makes going shopping more of a functional chore, rather than a pleasant look around.....does this make sense?..lol!

I did see a tiny Orchid in TESCOS last week, it was very cute. Have you ever bought a baby one? I decided not to buy it as I would prefer a more established and robust looking plant ..... one that can survive my chaotic care :lol:



Oh joy, this is positive news after so many week of decline. Let's hope more leave appear and grow as Spring approaches. Maybe Hope has decided to live.
Thank you for your encouragement. The two new tiny leaves are growing .... slowly, but at least they are actually growing :D and the old remaining five leaves are still with us.



So your winter is probably over? Do you have very windy days? It seems to be more windy here during the Winter than other times of the year.
Yes, thankfully we are at the end of winter. Funny you should ask about windy days, because these past few days have been very windy. Today wouldn't have been so cold if that wind wasn't blowing, I was hoping to get out in the garden and do some more tidying up, but the flipping wind put me off. :rolleyes:

Do your windy days cause much damage?


Do they look like this?
30129Optimized.jpg
Yes, we have some like these and also some which look exactly like miniature daffodils. I really must take some photos for you, before they start to droop.


Do your Robins eat those seeds? How have your Robins been?
We have a pair of Robins who visit our garden everyday, they're so cute. They don't hang around though, a quick landing onto the bird table to pick up some seeds and they're off again. Luckily they seem to leave the plants alone, except when they start collecting straw for nest building., wish I knew where their nest is, it cant be far.


Any news of what happened to your old garden cat?
Sadly no. He has completely disappeared, I still expect to see him lounging on our bench . I think he was probably an old cat, even so, I like to think he just moved house with his owners. I don't see the ginger cat either, the nervous one who used to dart through our back garden to get to the woods. We are completely cat-less :confused:



I do hope your Sunflowers and Sweet Peas make it. :)
:ty: ... so do I.



I took a walk today and noticed the Daffodils are starting to peak above the ground in a few locations. We are also having a warm stretch of days here so that helps melt what snow is left.
Do you think your seasons are slightly behind ours? or maybe, its just that your weather seems to be more extreme than ours? Your summers are definitely hotter. Just to clarify, Michelle Stevens I am saying your summer weather is hotter, not you :p
