Do you remember when we talked about seeds and the baby plant inside of them just waiting to grow? Isn’t is amazing how flowers make seeds for new plants to grow? The seeds now contain all the parts that will grow into a new plant and the food it needs to start growing. The flower has done its job and the petals start to die and fall away. Once a flower has been pollinated, a seed begins to grow inside it. Many flowers are pollinated by insects, birds, or other animals. Some plants use the wind to carry the pollen from one flower to another. How does pollen from one flower reach the female parts of another? Flowering plants need help to spread their pollen. Pollen grains come in many different shapes, but they are always too small to see properly without a magnifying glass. Most plants are pollinated by pollen from another plant of the same kind.

The hallmark of a healthy cycle is ovulation, and more specifically, when it occurs in the cycle. Not only can she use it for pregnancy achievement or natural birth control, but it can alert her to numerous potential gynecological issues. It is the most practical way that a woman can tell on a day to day basis what is going on in her body. It involves observing the two primary fertility signs: waking temperature and cervical fluid, and the optional third sign: cervical changes. The Fertility Awareness Method is an easy but scientific means of charting the woman’s menstrual cycle on a daily basis. This is where the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) comes in. If only people were routinely taught the fundamentals of human reproduction in school, scores of couples would not be erroneously led to believe they have an infertility problem.

This happens so many times it starts to feel like a setup, until - as though to one-up them all - an old man with two dirty white terriers tries, as a flirty joke, to steal her purse. “I just love your bow, your outfit, and you’re beautiful.” She says this almost reverently, then leaves, only to be replaced by another admirer. “Sorry to interrupt,” the woman interrupts. She is soon approached by a very sunburned woman. She is gap-toothed with a jaw that makes her look haughty, although she is not, and big black eyes that glint in the light of the fake fireplace.
