odditudes-and-weirdities

Turning degraded land into healthy land, avoiding driving gasoline powered vehicles, taking a workday to have fun, apple strudel, cherry tarts, eating vegetables, Stewart's Root Beer, author Judy Blume, the battle of Bunker Hill, and violins are subjects around today's observances: Blumesday Bunker Hill Day Dump The Pump Day Eat Your Vegetables Day Internati onal Violin Day National Apple Strudel Day National Cherry Tart Day National Stewart's Root Beer Day Recess at Work Day World Day to Combat Desertification And Drought Though I can see it improving morale, I have to admit I've never worked anywhere that supported Recess at Work Day. The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on this date in 1775 at, oddly enough, Breed's Hill. Today's Blumesday, inspired by yesterday's Bloomsday, celebrates young adult author Judy Blume. International Violin Day is celebrated on the date of the birth of Igor Stravinsky in 1882. Photo by Lucia Macedo on Unsplash
