You have got to love soap operas. From the intricate plots and finely woven webs of deceit, to the depths of schemes, they were, are and always will be classics. They are timeless. I wrote this article as my take on them back in 1970 when filling white space for our high school paper. Watch a few soap operas for the next few days and see for yourself how closely they resemble soap operas 36 years ago…

And now for that thought provoking question that plagues men’s souls unceasingly through the bright shining of the day and through the untold dark depths of the night:

Why did Peter, who in reality is actually Superman, fake that he stubbed his toe on the 17th stone on the sidewalk starting at 4th and Grand instead of the 16th stone, which was bigger and more logically the victim of that invulnerable toe and why did Marlys take Sam’s advice to buy the yellow tulip instead of the red and green carnation, while all the time Rodregus knew that the curvaceous young Pandora was at the moment buying the last purple, double-breasted, duck-billed, warbling giraffe in the world for her dear departed Phillip disguised as a lowly second mate on the Queen Mary, which was under attack by the tyrant Cedric because of the terrible beating he had suffered at the hands of Radcliff whose ex-wife Natalie was actually Percival’s long lost great-great-uncle Maximillian in disguise who knew that Zigmond was fond of un-pitted olives stuffed into green grapefruit filled graciously with Granny and Gretchen’s goulash, which was gradually getting gooey and who also knew of Jennifer’s contact Louella in the deep Congo, seized at the time by the dread Gardenia, the 7th cousin of Guenivere, in hopes of receiving the eight-ounce bottle of Elmer’s Glue stored in the vast files in the cortex of Courtney’s colossal computer complex carefully compiled to correct the current curling, commonly crusading as the contagious, communicable, crystalline, cucumber crud, carried on cue sticks by crying cuckoo clock birds continuously to conform with the cunning Cornelius’ cumbersome plot to corrupt the currency and continue the crisis of the Cormandel Coast Cult, complicated by the coroner Cort’s corny connotation to conceal his consecutive coronary contractions constantly crippling his conscious efforts to contradict congenial counterparts’ careful counterfeit correspondence with Corwyn, the cosmic cosmetician?

Was it because Bill had green eyes or was it because Melissa meddled menacingly and meticulously in Maude’s plans to read the calendar to see what year she had been sent to by her superiors in the future?

Tune in tomorrow for the exciting climax created by another deep question.

A child's first scribbling is something which it tries to express if you give a pencil in his hand.  Drawing is relatively very simple and an easy skill and is something with which you can have great fun. It is also relatively not a very expensive hobby and can start with paper and a pencil.  It can go on till acquiring costly pen and tablets - a computer hardware through which you can draw on your computer.  It is very costly; however the precision for perfection is very high.

Flowering landscape trees are the crown jewels of the yard. 

Perhaps no other plants, individually, can have as great an 

impact on how a yard looks in spring. Browse the articles to 

which I've linked below for information on particular varieties 

of flowering landscape trees. Pictures are included. 

Crape Myrtles: Landscape Trees of the South 

A popular choice in flowering landscape trees for Southerners, 

crape myrtles have a long blooming period (mid-summer to 

fall). The blooming clusters of these flowering landscape trees 

come in pink, white, red and lavender. The clusters appear on 

the tips of new wood. Northerners can sometimes get away 

with treating these flowering landscape trees as perennials 

that die back in winter but come back in spring. 

Trees

Not all specimens with a weeping habit are flowering 

landscape trees, but this article looks at several weeping 

varieties that do bloom, headed by four types of cherry. 

Saucer Magnolias 

The size and shape of the blooms are what suggested the 

common name for these flowering landscape trees. Want a 

specimen with a brilliant bloom as big as a saucer? Access 

information on these beauties here. 

Rose of Sharon 

Although some people think of it as a landscape "tree" 

(because it gets tall and can be pruned so as to have a single 

trunk), rose of sharon is, in fact, a flowering shrub. The fact 

that it blooms relatively late -- and for a long time -- makes it 

a valuable plant for those looking to distribute their yard's 

color display throughout the growing season. 

Top 10 List of Flowering Landscape Trees and Shrubs for 

Spring |

This article features information on ten flowering landscape 

trees and shrubs that brighten our spring seasons. Included 

are redbud, callery pear and crabapple. 

Hawthorn: Late-Blooming Landscape Trees 

This article offers information on Washington hawthorn trees, 

which are perhaps most valued for the time at which they 

bloom (late spring to early summer). Many of the popular 

flowering specimens bloom earlier in the spring, and while 

their blossoms are pleasant sights for eyes sore from winter's 

barrenness, they desert us too quickly!
