The Lusty Month of May!

The weather in here in Pasadena has dropped in temperature. For locals, having to wear a heavy jacket during May is as shocking as snow in July. The cold weather has come in with CST testing (California Standardized Testing.) Ugh. Why can't it be Saturday?

Earth Day Approaching

Earth Day is coming up next week. What are you going to do to show your appreciation for planet Earth? I would love to here from you!

The Disaster In Japan

As you probably already know, Japan was recently hit with one of the largest recorded earthquakes ever. The following tsunami destroyed towns, and left thousands of people homeless. The disaster in Japan affected marine life, too.

"While many animals have been affected by the disaster in Japan, the impact of the radiation appears to be less harmful than we expected." ( Global Animal ) Contaminated water is flowing into the Pacific Ocean, but since ocean water is full of potassium and calicum, it lowers the chance of an animal's body taking up radioactive particles instead. (sciencemag.org)

It appears that the greatest harm to wildlife was the tsunami itself. It is estimated that tens of thousands of costal birds were killed when the wave hit. " The endangered Midway Atoll albatross population was severely affected by the tsunami, but will survive as a species. The impact on other endangered species is unknown at this time." ( Global Animal )

The disaster in Japan did not just affect humans. If you are interested in helping the animals of Japan, www.globalanimal.org is asking for donations for animal rescue there. We need to remember this disaster did not just effect humans, but wildlife as well.

Sister Wright

Sister Wright is my sunday school teacher at my church, who is currently in the hospital. She has been battling cancer for a year and a half and is coming to the end of her fight. She has been a wonderful friend to me for a very long time. She is like a grandmother to me and I will miss her terribly when she's gone. She gave more than she probably realized, from the smallest hug to her largest gift. She always made me feel better,and I could never be angry around her. She was more than a teacher,she was a friend, a person who could love me, almost family. I hope she knows their are many that will miss her terribly once she has passed away. My hope is that she knows she is loved dearly. I love you Sister Wright.
