Gotta do some gardening stuff soon. Like this weekend. Just because it snowed last Monday doesn't mean it will snow again. Right?
Here are some very interesting Infographics I found. So I'm sharing.
One I couldn't find on the website source is one I stuck on Pinterest. It's regrowing veggies from organic root bases.

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Using Time Wisely
You know how they (let's not get into the discussion about who they is) say using your mind for things like puzzles and figuring "stuff" out is good for it? Yeah. That's what this is about.I don't think "they" recommend that you use this technique when procrastinating. But that's beside the point. That's how I roll.
Anyhoo, while working on my mental cognition I was perusing Bored Panda to discover more tools for keeping my brain elastic and found Momo. How cute is Momo?
See my momo - Lola and then go visit Momo and work that brain.

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Spicy Lady Interview For Hump Day Viewing
This is a 14 minute interview with the Frank's Red Hot Lady. "I put that bleep on everything."
Her story is intriguing. Cancer 3 time survivor, 91 years old, used to get sick on street cars. Couldn't hear her big break in the phone call telling her she'd won the contract because she didn't have her hearing aids in. She had cervical cancer at age 33. Ummm that would be back in the day when cancer was usually a death sentence.

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Tax Day and Crappy Weather... A Poem
On Saturday the breeze blew a gentle 84
The air, a bit thick with promise of rain
Lack of common sense scented the smoke tinged ozone as fools burned brush piles ignoring the warning of high chance of raging grass fires.
We scribbled in numbers on our tax preparer's form, scratching out explanations. I made my husband take the walk of shame to drop it off, alone. We are those people. Tax procrastinators that cause accountants to gray early and develop tics.
Sunday, the skies opened with rain. Sheets of rain, thunder, lightning, even hail.
Rain. Rain. Rain. Wet feet, soggy shoes and a long nap.
Monday. Iowa played one of her favorite games. Stump the weather man, tease the birds, torture the inhabitants who have complained about the longest. winter. ever.
Snow. 24 degrees. Snow. On top of frozen rain slicking the streets, causing delays, making for a manic Monday.
60 degrees in 72 hours.
This is Iowa. Spring in Iowa. Or Fall. Heck, it could even happen in winter.
Tax preparer must talk to me today. Needs clarification. Payback. He got the walk of shame. I have to do the talk.
There are three things that are true in Iowa. Death, taxes and crazy weather.

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ True Dat or Not
This is kinda fun.
I'll bet you don't know that I love learning weird things about personalities and human behaviors. Ok. Maybe you do.
I found a show on Netflix that I'm not sure I'd recommend (Lie to Me) because of content etc but it was fascinating because the main character (who was a real jerk, btw) was an expert on human tells.
Anyhoo, this guy reads body language and micro expressions (the tiny flickers of emotion that happen before people are able to mask). People use his skills in court cases etc.
So my friend Michelle found a video quiz that gives you the opportunity to test your skills at guessing who's lying and who's telling the truth. Proud to say I guessed right 9 times out of 10.
You wanna try? Here it is.
