Nature Quotes :o)

(... in the video below, when Ol' Barb greets the crowd she mentions "Your Brave For Coming Out At All !!!", if you remember her TIMELESS concert aired right after the events of 9/11. Many events taking place in large venues were cancelled or postponed but I guess with a broadway background 'the show must go on')

Everything is always in a constant state of change... evolving and adapting. Life is fluid. Catch the wave and cherish every moment. No matter how challenging a situation you're always stronger than you can ever imagine.

Geez Louizzeeee....

Don't you just hate it when there's a song stuck in your head.  Well, I'm hoping by posting it my head shall be cleared and the song will be stuck in your head instead.  So Hope You ENJOY! :o)   (Middle age folk, next time you're offended by the suggestive lyrics the youngin's listen to today think about just how suggestive music of days gone by has been.  same old, same old... merely dancing to the beat of a different drum (oh great, now the show 'different strokes' is stuck in my head...I yi yi, but anywho.. have fun, take care & think happy thoughts - always)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:


Cherry trees blossom six years early after a trip to space

BY TERRENCE O'BRIEN  @TERRENCEOBRIEN  APRIL 13TH 2014, AT 7:17:00 AM ET

 

In 2008 Japanese scientists decided to take a handful of cherry tree seeds (and by "handful" we mean over 250) to space. The embryonic plants spent eight months aboard theInternational Space Station as part of an educational project aimed at children. When the stones returned, 14 of them were selected and planted around Japan. The saplings were expected to bloom after 10 years of maturation. Instead, four of them sprouted flowers this year -- a full six years ahead of schedule. The sudden and extremely early blossoming of the trees has scientists quite confused and desperately seeking answers. Kaori Tomita-Yokotani, from the University of Tsukuba, told AFP she was stumped. "There is the possibility that exposure to stronger cosmic rays accelerated the process of sprouting and overall growth," she said, but also suggested that cross pollination could be the culprit. Since the project involving the seeds was not a true experiment, and more a stunt to pique the interest of children, there is no control group to compare against. In fact, there's very little data at all for the scientists to work with. We're betting on the cosmic rays, though. We all know what happens when humans are bombarded by them
