National Poultry Day – Poultry is not
just chicken. It could be any domesticated bird raised for meat or
eggs. Be creative today, try something you've never tried before
like quail or cornish game hens.
Swallows Return To San Juan Capistrano
Day – I don't know how these birds know what day it is but
apparently they are always on time and there is a big festival to
celebrate their return. http://www.sanjuancapistrano.net/swallows/
Operation Iraqi Freedom Day – On this
day in 2003, President George W. Bush announced the beginning of
Operation Iraqi Freedom. The mission was to rid Iraq of Saddam
Hussein and stop Iraq from being able to produce weapons of mass
destruction.
National Agriculture Day – Started by
the Agriculture Council of America, this day is for recognizing the
fact that agriculture is the backbone of life. Without the abundance
of agriculture, civilization could not have expanded beyond the
little family farms of centuries ago. http://www.agday.org/
National Chocolate Caramel Day – Ok,
I admit it, I'm salivating right now. I love chocolate and caramel
which is why I never have any of it around. But since today is a
special day, I guess I just have to go out and get some.
To celebrate today, plan out a backyard
reenactment of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Get your whole neighborhood
involved. Then when you're done and your backyard is demolished,
plant some agriculture back there instead of grass. Get your
binoculars and examine each bird you see during the day to see if
it's a swallow. Then whip up a poultry dish for dinner and have some
chocolate caramels for dessert.
