National Theme For July 2nd: National Anisette Day.

🥃National Anisette Day. Anisette is an anise-flavored liqueur that is made by distilling aniseed and sometimes adding a sugar syrup. Anisette is popular in Spain, Italy, Portugal and France. Pure Anisette should not be drunk straight as its alcoholic content is high enough to cause irritation to the throat. However, mixing it in with coffee, gin, bourbon or water will bring out a bit of a sweet flavor. To enjoy this sweetness without drinking, you can make Anisette cookies! If you are one to grab all of the black jelly beans at Easter, you will surely enjoy this day and the drink that makes it unique, Anisette. Although Anisette does not contain licorice, it does have that sort of distinct flavor.

📆The history of July! The seventh month of the Gregorian year is named in honor of Julius Caesar. In 63 B.C. Caesar had been elected Pontifex Maximus. The calendar was 355 days long and gradually through mishandling and corruption (pontiffs allowing the calendar to lengthen to please one priest, shortening it to anger another) January slipped into fall. While Caesar didn’t place the month of Quintilis (meaning fifth) the strangely seventh place, he did decide to change from a lunisolar to a solar calendar. (Before the Roman calendar, there were only ten months, and Quintilis was the fifth month. When the Romans added new months, Quintilis and other months were adjusted.) The solar year would consist of 365 days, adding 10 to the total. The extra days were distributed among the months with 29 days. A year after Caesar completed the calendar, he was assassinated on the Ides of March. In his honor, the Roman Senate named the seventh month July, the month of Caesar’s birth. Thе new calendar went іntо effect оn the first dау оf Jаnuаrу 1, 45 B.C. and put аn end tо thе arbitrary and іnассurаtе nаturе оf thе еаrlу Roman ѕуѕtеm.

The month of July holds many celebrations. In the United States, it is considered the month of one of its biggest celebrations, Independence Day. July is also known for firsts. Louis Pasteur tested the first rabies vaccine in 1885, and Bikini’s made their debut in 1948. In 1978, space travel took great strides, and Neil Armstrong put the first footprints on the moon. Delaware became the first state to gain independence from Britain. July is thе seventh month оf the year аnd оnе оf ѕеvеn mоnthѕ wіth the lеngth оf 31 dауѕ.

Oh I've been getting plenty of sleep here lately, I don't know what it is but sometimes I just can't stay awake and Storms game is beginning to show it too. Our humility is what's making it miserable here. The temperature hit 90°, with 79% humidity. All this rain has made us prone to have server thunderstorm in the evening when it starts cooling off.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶🌞
