National Peace Rose Day! in early 1945, French horticulturist Francis Meilland developed the peace rose with crimson pink edges and yellow to off white centers. Meilland wrote to Field Marshall Alan Brooke thanking him for key in liberation to France. Meilland originally asked Brooke to use his name for the rose. Brooke suggested peace was a more suitable name. Therefore, on this day in 1945, the flower was officially named.

Weather Outlook

It sure was hot yesterday. I think Mother Nature forgot that Spring is just a little cooler than summer. Let us check our local WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Some stormy conditions at times on our Thursday. After several days of high pressure dominated weather, we will change our weather forecast a bit.  We will see a frontal system move through our area on our Thursday and Thursday evening.  This will bring back to our area good chances for some rain and thunderstorms.  Some of the thunderstorms will be on the hefty side at times.  We will see the best potential for some strong and gusty winds, along with some hail at times.  However, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out of the question with a few of the thunderstorms.

Thursday  Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm, then showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. High near 74.  South wind 10 to 15 mph.  Chance of precipitation is 50 percent.  New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Thursday Night  Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 1am, then a chance of showers.  Mostly cloudy, with a low around 57.  South southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming north northwest after midnight.  Chance of precipitation is 50 percent.  New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

On This Day

National Girl Scout Leader’s Day! Today honors all the volunteers that lead and mentor our young girls. Today, we come together with girls, their families, and communities to thank all the volunteers, leaders, and mentors. If you know one, thank them and recognize them today.

Earth Day! Today marks the anniversary of the modern environmental movement created in 1970. The idea came from Senator Gaylord Nelson who wanted to promote a national teach in on the environment at colleges and universities between spring break and final exams. Today, plant a tree, clean up your yard, and anything that generates a healthy and sustainable environment.

National Jelly Bean Day! Jelly beans are small and colorful bean-shaped sugar candies with soft candy shells. They have thick gel interiors and are normally sweet and chewy. Now, they are even sweeter with Jolly Rancher, Starburst, and other popular candy brands. You may even have some left over from Easter.

Word of the Day: Hamartia is the character flaw or error of a tragic hero that leads to his downfall.

Quote of the Day: Even a stopped clock is right two times a day. -Marie von Ebuer Eschenback

On This Day

National Hanging Out Day! Not what I thought today was at all. I thought it was a form of hanging out with friends or skipping school to hang out. NOPE! Today is to encourage people to conserve energy and hang out clothes. I love hanging out clothes. Not many places have clotheslines anymore.

National Oklahoma City Bombing Commemoration Day! The name speaks for itself. In 1995, the bombing destroyed 1/3 of the building and killed 168 people, injuring over 680 others. This was an act of domestic terrorist car bombing. It happened downtown Oklahoma City at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

National Garlic Day! Garlic is a herb or vegetable, upon which garlic is actually the bulb. It is packed with potassium, magnesium, maganese, zinc, selenium, arotene beta, zea-xanthin, and Vitamin C. It is used in many dishes for flavoring. Today, try something with garlic and keep the vampires away!

National Amaretto Day! Amaretto is a sweet, almond-flavored, Italian liqueur. It is used to flavor alcoholic beverages and sometimes coffee. As you relax for the weekend, have a drink to relax!

Word of the Day: Cogwheel is a toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion. Also, referred to as a gear.

Quote of the Day: Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself. -Paulo Coelho
