NATIONAL SEED SWAP DAY

National Seed Swap Day on the last Saturday in January serves as a reminder to gardeners that spring is on its way. It is also an ideal time for gardeners to gather and swap seeds in preparation for starting seeds indoors.

NATIONAL OPPOSITE DAY

Day Opposite National on January 25th celebrates a fun day of switcher-roos. What better way than to not celebrate? We don’t really mean that, or do we?

NATIONAL FLORIDA DAY

National Florida Day on January 25th recognizes the 27th state to join the United States.

The Sunshine State is home to the oldest established city in the country. With over 400 years of history, St. Augustine’s streets and colonial architecture have stories to tell. Founded by Spanish explorers in 1565, visit the city and walk in the same footsteps as 16th-century bishops, ponder the escapades of pirates and the whereabouts of lost gold and learn about the lives of European settlers.

East and West Florida became the 14th and 15th British Colonies after the end of the French and Indian War in 1763. However, in 1783, after the end of the American Revolutionary War, The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spain.

The present-day borders of Florida were absorbed through two transactions: The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 brought East Florida with it (but not without dispute from the French) and through a U.S. intervention in an uprising in West Florida in 1812 causing West Florida to join the Mississippi Territory. Florida joined the Union on March 3, 1845.

NATIONAL IRISH COFFEE DAY

National Irish Coffee Day kicks off January 25th each year with a mug of strong coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and topped with a layer of cream.

Oodie, Hello in Florida. Have you had snow in your parts? I know you posted about it being cold.
Stay safe. You might need to hire a handyman to get a few things done until you get your hubs home. I know my hubs does all sorts of things here that I could never do. He recently fixed the stove and my computer.
Ms. Heidi likes adventure. I may have to check out her video. I love her get up and go!
We hope to travel next year back to central Europe. Fingers crossed.
Take care and be careful walking on those steps.

Sheba, I’m with you about watching the news. Too bad my hubs watches it a lot. He’s very aware.
If I had to guess, I would say yup you have a good time wherever you go! 🙂
Hopefully your SIL will get some good news. I understand about this cancer.
The Lion/Tiger pictures are lovely.

I had to wash some outdoor cushions and clean up a bit but still went hiking. It’s just nice to get out. The new side I go to seems to always have people around so I feel better about it scaring off any critters.

Amen
