Things learned......

Who knew! It is simply amazing what kinda stuff you can learn that you may never use in your daily life! For instance, the formation of an embryo in a plant! Wow! Then we tore apart

a bunch of plants to see:

1. The venation
2. The Margin
3. The Shape
4. Whether or not the flowers were perfect
5. If they weren't perfect what reproductive parts they had
6. and whether the plant needed external fertilization or
7. self fertilization

It was fun. Then to a class that is also taught the great 'Professor Leah'. Only..... it was extremely boring. Oh well, not all your classes can be perfect, right? :) On the whole though much better than last week! Hope you all have a great week!

BTW the iris at top is a perfect flower that can be self fertilized. :)

New look!

So how do you all like it? I like the cute little owl. awwwww! :)

I found this great place called www.shabbyblogs.com. It is Great! And even better than cutest blog on the block!

Fried

So anyway, as the title states, I am fried. Long day at school with Biology. Plus I had to listen to a long Anatomy lecture. wahoo. My brain is fried. Anyway........ How are you all doing? Leave a comment and tell me how you are. :)

soaked through and typing............

Ahhhh spring..... that lovely time of year when birds are chirping, people are out on their front porches and dust just happens to collect on your car. Sigh. One Maroon 2003 Chevy Suburban was needing washing BAD! So Lil' Bro and I went out and gave that baby a thorough cleaning. Anyway so there I was rinsing suds, when all of a sudden I hear a "splush" right next to me and feel tiny water droplets hit my leg. WATER BALLOON FIGHT! Or a water balloon vs. hose fight that is. :) In the end I was soaked but he was more soaked. *grin* The moral of this story is 'never try to drench your big sister if she has a hose'.

Happy Monday to you all!

Spring

So I know first posts are always awkward so this is going to be a regular (though shorter) post. Have you ever noticed that when shoots start popping up, allergies kick in and birds sing more often, you feel very alive? I feel so today. Though it is a little chilly, life seems to be everywhere. Maybe it is just me but hey it is lovely.

Also we have a lovely tree in our backyard with white blossoms all over it. sigh.
