Be a Messy Monkey

Today is Biscuits and Gravy Day. It is also Monkey Day! It started when artist Casey Sorrow scribbled Monkey Day on his friend’s calendar as a joke. They started celebrating with other Michigan State University artists and it grew in popularity. So today, eat biscuits and gravy like a monkey!

The Candles Are Burning

Yesterday at sundown, Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, began. The Jewish holiday commemorates an ancient miracle in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. A one-day supply of oil lit a menorah, which is a type of candelabra, for 8 days. Hanukkah is celebrated for 8 days by lighting the menorah to prayers, songs, food, gifts and games.

This Is a Tasty Burger!

A backyard barbecue in Tennessee ended abruptly, after an uninvited guest showed up. A black bear crashed the party, and devoured all the food. After lifting the grill’s lid and eating 10 burgers, the bear washed everything down with a Diet Coke. The bold bear is probably trying to fatten up, before it hibernates.

Awesome Autumn Adventures

What’s your favorite fun fall activity? There are pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted houses, and apple orchards to visit. You can hike through crunchy leaves, and collect a specimen of every shape and color. Rake a big pile of leaves, and leap in! Enjoy the brisk weather, with hot apple cider. Cheers to Autumn!

Quit Bugging Me

Today is Insect Repellent Awareness Day, and just in time for summer! There are lots of sprays that help keep mosquitoes away, as well as natural oils like citronella and lemongrass. Lavender can help keep fleas and ticks at bay. Marigolds are a beautiful insect deterrent. Waving mosquitoes towards someone else actually works best!
