This image is what has been left in place of the beautiful streaming images of the infamous Eagles' nest at Norfolk Botanical Gardens ... it can be found on WVEC-TV's website where the streaming video use to run 24/7.
When my Mother in Law Told me the other morning that the Mama Eagle had been struck and killed by a plane, I was a hot, hot mess. Hadn't cried that hard in some time. I'm not certain why it affected me so much. But, I know it's affected thousands of people. These same people waited with bated breath to see if Papa Eagle would return. In fact, he did. But, at their age, these Eagle babes are gonna be needing more than one parent to keep them fed and hydrated as the temps soar on the East Coast.
It was decided that the 3 Eaglets be removed from the nest and taken to a refuge where they will be raised and then released back into the wild.
THANK GODDDDDDDD!!!
Don't know if I could have taken more of the proverbial "train wreck." I swore to my sis, Angi, that I wouldn't look at the darned video of the babes alone in the nest. But, I couldn't help but check back in to see if Papa returned. Good thing my M-I-L called early Tuesday AM to tell me that they had been taken by scientists ... I would have clicked on the link and thought they'd thrown themselves to their deaths. Arghhh ...

I TALKED MY SURGEON INTO LETTING ME GO BACK TO WORK LATE NEXT WEEK!!!!
Yeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwww! I'm going stir-crazy up in here. Silas and I, left to our own devices, have a ball. But, we're running outta things to do when I am temporarily physically-challenged ... especially when it means we stay in the same house for weeks on end. I know it's earlier than I was "quoted", considering the Staph infection has still left my belly open. But, I've become a master belly-dresser. So, all will be just fine.
I look forward to getting back and seeing my fabulous co-workers and clients. I miss 'em dearly.
That isn't the most common of occurrences in the work-a-day world. I'm blessed.
xoxo
Anna
