April showers bring May flowers

 

[tree]

Our teacher, when I was in fifth grade, taught us to
make May baskets from paper to leave on neighbor's
door knobs.

Ring the doorbell, then run to hide so you can watch
them being surprised and happy.

The only flowers we could find were mostly dandelions.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

I never understood why anyone would want to kill the dandelions and clovers in their yards. Grass is so itchy and plain. Someday, when I own a home, I'm going to plant the whole yard in clovers and moss and dandelions.

The first job I had was when I was a child.
My father paid me five cents to pick dandelions.
Not pull them up.
Just pick them so they didn't go to seed.

Dandelion wine is the name of a book, it was pretty good I think

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

When you pick a dandelion blossom, it immediately goes to seed. Leave a blossom on the kitchen table. The petals will wilt and invert, revealing a whole pod of seeds that were hiding underneath.

Most potential problems we worry about never actually happen.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Your trauma is still valid even if people tell you it was your own fault it happened.

Meningococcal disease is a sadly too-common condition afflicting college students living in crowded dormitories. It's easily preventable if vaccinated in the last years of high school.

My brother had a beautiful nose until he bumped a slalom gate with it during a race.

That must have been tricky.
Most people use skis.

Mars attacks was the name of a film, jack black was in it

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

An ancient Hindu tale says that Mars is the son of the creation goddess, the River Gange, and Agni, the fire god.

He was born to kill the king of the demons. He used a lance forged from the rays of the sun to do so.

I’m very much enjoying the longer brighter days.

Gratitude is good for your health. Simply being thankful for what you have increases oxytocin and decreases cortisol.

I’m practicing finding as many things as I can, no matter how insignificant or weird, to smile about. And every workout, even the wimpie ones, give a little dose of endorphins. Free feel-goods.

James Brown, singer of "I Got You", a song commonly referred to as "I Feel Good", invented the moonwalk.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

I have been told that "GOLF" is an acronym that spells out "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden".

Tall people loathe riding in the backseat of two-door hatchback cars.

Short people with enormous 4x4’s and how one of my friends makes me laugh when he mutters, “compensation.”
