GIS Butterfly: April Showers bring May flowers

Rain may keep me inside, but doesn't take my joy

☔I don't care

☕My cup is full

💖My heart is happy

👣My feet are resting

As a child the saying,"April Showers Make May Flowers" was very true in my home town. We even had snow sometimes on Easter Break. Redding on the other hand is to a city of two seasons, "Flood" and "Fire". However, this year the Flood season has been very long. We even had frost on car windows just a week ago after a very wet week.

The weather app on my Table broke and I installed a new weather app that is sponsored by weather underground.

Cute kitten makes the weather better

The little red triangle warned of breezy weather and flooding. I have lost count of how many times I have dumped out my 5 inch gauge, but our total for the year is over 45 inches.

Pink

My son moved out about a month ago and I have been getting use to being alone. Last weekend he even took his drafting table and bike.

Carpet and Chimney Cleaned

A day without reading is like... Just Kidding, I have no idea.

Easter Week I only worked 6 hours in afternoon.

Each day I had an activities in the morning to keep me out of trouble. Carpet cleaner, Coffee two different mornings and car repairs two other mornings. My apartment got a spruce and extra touches of pink.

April is Month of the Young Child

Child abuse in Shasta county is very high. April there are a lot of child care awareness programs.

Stayed up until 9pm Friday to make this poster for Healthy Kids Day

Our local Y had a great celebration on April 29th to support families in Healthy habits and to raise money for camp scholarships. There were spin classes all day. You paid for the bike for a hour and the money went to camp. Someone had sponsored bikes and I got to ride one for free and get the swag. I say free, but my tail bone is telling me that I am paying. (That is why my cruiser has a wide padded seat)

Next week is Unicorn Week in Kindergarten

One of my Unicorns last week

I just made that up. My co-worker in Afterschool care got sick last week and I flew by the seat of my pants when a big cloud burst and thunderstorm kept us inside. I love that they think I am a magician and will sit so still to watch me draw or make something. That day we had cats, bears, and unicorns. The next day one wore her unicorn horn all day. So, Thursday we were all Unicorns and Friday I was an unicorn until we finished the rainbow of fingerprints. I gave my horn to our smallest unicorn as she left (she hadn't been there the Day of the Unicorn)

hard to get Unicorn Kiddos to turn their back to a camera

They were so excited to go to Unicorn School. Where the school Mistress told them that they would learn: Kindness, Gentleness, Wisdom and Prancing. It was so fun to see them Prancing around the playground. Tomorrow we will continue with them coloring themselves as a unicorn for our May cart design.
