1) The blue whale is not only the largest animal in the world, but it is also thought to be the largest animal to ever have lived on the planet!  In fact, a blue whale’s heart is the size of a car, and its tongue can weigh the same as a bull elephant.

2) Most kangaroos are primarily left-handed.

3) A hippo’s skin is so thick the animals are essentially bulletproof.

4) Giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks (seven) as humans do.

5) Each zebra’s pattern of stripes is as unique to them as our fingerprints are to us.

6) Sharks do not have bones. Their internal skeletons are made entirely of cartilage.

7) Cheetahs are well known to be the fastest land animals in the world, with a top speed of around 75 miles per hour. Even more amazing, they can reach their top running speed from a standing start in just 3 seconds.

I love this tin sign…It sends a great message.

Today is the first day of my favorite season.

SPRING is here!

I am patiently waiting for my Hummingbirds to come back for their annual vacation. Spring is the season of renewal, growth, and new beginnings. It’s a time when the world awakens from its winter sleep, and nature comes alive with color, sound, and energy. From the first bloom of a flower to the return of migratory birds, spring is a season of beauty and wonder.

 Take the time to enjoy Spring.

Summer is always “nipping at its heels.”  Summer will MELT its way in on June 20.

Although the young people of today will not believe this, air conditioning was not always an option. Most of the places I worked DID NOT have air conditioning. There was a lady at one of my jobs who would say with a smile, “Just think about snow and you will feel cooler.” Smiles are free and they are appreciated. Sadly, Smiles are less abundant nowadays.

HAPPY SPRING AND BIG SMILES TO ALL!

It is no secret that I like MEMES. Each Winter, a reader of Tolley’s Topics sends me MEMES of cleverly constructed snowmen with this note: SNOWMEN FALL FROM THE SKY UNASSEMBLED.

YOU CAN SMILE ABOUT THESE THIS WINTER!
