My playing around with it lead to me falling head over heels for wordpress. So, if you got here via bookmark, you can change it to http://heather365.wordpress.com/
I hope to see you all over there.

Pondering
Still playing with dandelions and the magic of childhood wishes. It is very important that they be just the exact right wish.
As an aside, I imported all of my posts from blogger and some of them got messed up. I'm not going to worry about fixing them right now and I am going to try to export the ones from my Wordpress blog onto blogger. I will try to keep everyone both places updated while I decide what I should do. Any feedback would be appreciated as well.

I wish...
It were May 3rd already ;) I also strongly suggest that you click on this one so that you can view it large, it loses a lot being shrunk down to blog size.

Nursing School survival tip #2 -- what not to do
Cute, fluffy, and fuzzy animals need to be walked right on past on days you are feeling your internal strength is down. Unless you are planning on turning your home into a small scale zoo.
I did not act on that piece of advice.
Where I apply for a small scale zoo license?

Countdown begins
and so it starts. I do feel I can officially say that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train headed my way and I believe I can see others on the outside playing the grass and laying in the sun.

the one left behind
I don't have a lot of stuff left to do before graduation, but I am finding myself doing everything possible to not do it. After all one of the rescue bulbs that got left behind was blooming and had to be shot. Right?
The ones that were rescued aren't going to bloom this year so I had to capture the one left behind. Portfolio due on Monday? Pshaw.
Tulips blooming? Highly important.
14 days exactly until I graduate. 2 weeks. 1/2 a month. 1/104 of a year. So why can't I sit down and finish my stuff so I can enjoy this time?

Open to the world
These tulips open up wide almost immediately, without keeping a tight blossom that is typical of tulips.

The business side of blogging.
I'm playing around with things. Trying to decide if I like the pictures bigger in the middle of the blog or small and linked back to flickr (the bigger pictures are also clickable to take you back to my photostream) The bigger pictures don't work with the format but I can play with that (I think, I hope)
Nursing School survival tip #1-- Weeds grow fast
Same plant, just 7 days inbetween them and different angle.
In life, and specifically nursing school there are things in your life that you really don't want around. They are prickley, itchy, make you grumpy, suck all of your time so that you can't be growing, er...doing, all that you really want to.
Whether that weed is a big project that you are just dreading because really it isn't anything but busy work or a negative situation at school or home the weed needs to go before grows. Projects get bigger when you are doing them the night before and the article you needed for it has to be ordered through the interlibrary loan so you don't have the information required. Big weed. Sometimes you have a problem with an instructor that you keep ignoring and hoping it goes away but it never does. When you try to address the issue later it has been blown out of proportion or is no longer rectifable (yes, I just made that word up)
Dealing with your weeds before they grow and overwhelm your life is key.

From apricots to crabapples
I think my favorite part of mid-spring is the flowering trees. Our crabapple tree is absolutely beautiful in the springtime, I will miss it (it's one of the trees we are taking down and replacing with something else, probably a cherry tree)

Ready to pop
Yup, more of the apricot tree. I've been trying to cross things of off my Great Big Giant To Do List™ and my blog is feeling neglected because of it.

Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree
I love apricots from the time they bud until we are eating them later in the year.

Go ahead Spring, take your time
This morning as I lay in bed moaning and complaining that my alarm was going off (again!) I realized that my mornings are very much like spring. I don't get up and jump out of bed and am good for the day, my alarm goes off and flop over to turn it off, I might even get up to the bathroom and come back to bed making my family mistakenly think I was up and good for the day.
Similarly Spring starts and stops in spurts and sometimes we think for sure she has finally come to stay and she crawls back underneath the duvet of snow for another 9 minutes of rest before the day begins.
I enjoy the time between my alarm going off and me being up and functional to go nice, slow, and calmly so I'll stop rushing Spring. Go ahead and take your time, just know that my cabbage seeds have sprouted.

Achooo!
It's a beautiful time of year, my nose just happens to disagree with my eye sees. I like the texture in the buds and the branch crossing through the image.
