Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future. ~Lewis B. Smedes

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. ~Max de Pree

Express yourself. Dogs’ ears are extremely expressive. It’s no wonder! There are more than a dozen separate muscles that control a dog’s ear movements. Source: Whole Dog Journal

True love is when your heart and your minds are saying the same thing. ~Leanna L. Bartram

Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice. ~Nora Roberts 

Features: Pussy willows have both male and female sex trees. The
pussies — call catkins — typically bloom in early spring
(February-March), with the pussies turning into flowers by April.
Catkins on the male tree are different than those on the female tree,
and are typically better looking.

Facts: The average height range for pussy willows is between 20 and 35 feet, with the tree having a total spread between one-quarter and one-third of its height. The tree will grow 4 to 6 feet each year, reaching maturity in about 5 years.

Considerations: While pussy willow trees do not take too much space to grow, their roots are invasive. They can ruin septic tanks and water lines. Heavy pruning is necessary to keep pussy willows strong, healthy and looking clean. Full sun is preferable when planting, although the trees can handle partial shade.  Source: ehow

Honey bees can fly at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour. That might seem fast, but in the bug world, it’s actually rather slow. Honey bees are built for short trips from flower to flower, not for long distance travel. Their tiny wings must flap about 12,000 times per minute just to keep their pollen-laden bodies aloft for the flight home. By Debbie Hadley, Insects Expert

Dogs do dream! Dogs and humans have the same type of slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) and during this REM stage dogs can dream. The twitching and paw movements that occur during their sleep are signs that your pet is dreaming. Source: Healthy Pet
