. We stayed in Dunedin FL in January. Yesterday an "abandoned" eaglet from Kissimee FL was placed in a nest in Dunedin which already had 2 eaglets. The tree is behind a residential house. Looks like the Dunedin parents and babies have accepted the foster bird. Here is the video of it being placed into the nest.

Lynda White, Florida Audubon Society Eaglewatch coordinator, said, luckily, eagles have a poor sense of smell — and generally feed anything that seems to be eagle-like begging for food in their nests.
And eagles can't count. "That's why this works

"Fruiting crops, including tomatoes, need full sun most of the day for good production of quality fruit. Good drainage is also important. In high to medium rainfall areas (more than 30 inches per year) work the soil into ridges and plant on the ridge or build raised beds 12 to 18 inches deep. Plan on setting out at least one cherry tomato and 4 to 6 large-fruited varieties depending on the number of fresh tomato lovers in your family. You'll need stakes or wire tomato cages to support the plants to keep the fruit off the ground where it would rot. To insure even and efficient watering, you will want to put in a drip or soaker hose system for watering. Finally, count on mulch to keep down the weeds." .

Growing Smiles

A smile is quite a funny thing,

It wrinkles up your face.

And when its gone, you never find

Its hiding place.

But far more wonderful it is

To see what smiles can do;

You smile at one, he smiles at you

And so one smile makes two.

He smiles at someone since you smile.

And then that one smiles back;

And that one smiles, until in truth

You fail in keeping track.

Now since a smile can do great good

By cheering hearts of care,

Let's smile and smile, and not forget

That smiles go everywhere!.

Sara's Dog Training blog what would you do ? I think that I know. This link has become so popular that everyone knows what it is. Thanks to you Sara and of course Oreo and Misty. You three do a lot of hard work for us. Did you say that school is out this week? I know that Oreo and Misty will be glad. Dad..

Web Cams and Skype Our granddaughter, Kara, has a new web cam. And it motivated Dad and me to also get web cams. We now have web cams installed and are learning to use Skype. I think it will be interesting to keep touch with some of our friends that live far away. We are looking forward to using the cams to keep in touch with our friends in Ireland, Italy, Columbia, Australia and Mexico as well in other places in the USA. If any of our friends would like to join Dad and I we will give you the way to get to us, DAD & Jim. Iim's is JRW5255 and Dad's is Dad6416.

THURSDAY'S ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND & SEVENTY

When AOL began these Blogs several years ago they provided us a spot for us to post our mood , And today 2/11/10 mine is {SAD } we are starting this again so you will know what to expect before you begin reading. The mood will be changed every morning, Dad.
,
( I do want to explain that { SAD] Mood above, we did not get to go to our bible study last night. When I awoke Wednesday morning I was feeling good but later in the day my throat was very sore, so we decided it was best to stay in out of that 30 degree weather )

What an awesome and orderly GOD!!
God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs. For example: -the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days; -those of the canary in 14 days;-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days; -The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days; -those of the mallard in 35 days; -The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven , the number of days in a week!)The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life. If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a profitable end.God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant.. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily. The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as well as in the number of grains. -Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind. -Each orange has an even number of segments. -Each ear of corn has an even number of rows. -Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains. -Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number. -The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather. All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold - all even numbers. God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence. Only the God-planned safe life is successful. Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is fulfilled.

I don't know for sure how I feel this morning, there is no one hear to test my voice on, but there will soon be, I don't think that my throat is as sore as it was last night .O how I long to be able to settle down to a normal life. In the bible study last night Paul spoke of " Leading a quiet and peaceable life." That is the desire of my heart, and I wan't to be able to do what it takes to have that.
