April showers

bring May flowers.  At least that is what the age old adage says.  But so far this month it has not rained much.  I wonder if this is a bad start to the spring?  I’d hate to think that this is the beginning of a drought!  I really enjoy seeing my flower garden alive and lush, and although I have planted drought tolerant plants, it always looks nicer if there is plenty of rainfall.  And I was hoping to plant a few new shrubs in a couple of weeks, hoping that the natural rainy season would help me be lazy and not have to water the shrubs every day.

Additional training

My niece just can’t seem to make up her mind what she wants to do with her life.  She bounces around from job to job, only working for about a month or two in one place before leaving it.  At first she says she really likes the job, but the initial euphoria wears off fairly quickly.  She keeps talking about wanting to go to one of the massage therapy schools and becoming a massage therapist.  I always tell her that I think that is a great idea.  She’s a good worker, and has plenty of upper body strength.

 The big catch for her though, is that she insists that she wants to go to school in Hawaii.  Well, her folks can barely support their family in the state that they are in, and I keep suggesting that she find a place where she can go and still live at home.  I have found a website called career-education.net that helps people find training schools around the country, and there are schools close to where she lives that she could go to.  I know that she could do that, but she is adamant about going to Hawaii.  So until she changes her attitude about that I guess she will just keep on doing what she is doing!

Funny findings

I like to browse around the Internet and see what tickles my funny bone. There are a lot of interesting things going on out there! This morning I found a video that shows an eagle that adopted chicken eggs and is now raising the baby chicks. I wonder what will happen when the chickens get older? Will the eagle eat them? Anyway, here is the video, I found it on yahoo’s video link.  Enjoy!
