National Themes For July 31st: National Avocado Day, National Raspberry Cake Day, and National Mutt Day.

🥑National Avocado Day! Guacamole is grand, but don’t settle for just the chips and dip on this food holiday. Clear the table for everything from the appetizer and main dish all the way to dessert. On National Avocado Day, this tree grown superfruit has them all covered! Avocados have become more than a staple food in the American diet; they have proven to be a key ingredient in recipes for both inside the body and on the body! According to the Hass Avocado Board, as of 2015, avocado consumption in the United States doubled since 2005 and quadrupled since 2000. In fact, a whopping 4.25 billion avocados were sold in the U.S. in 2015. That’s four point two five billion of this amazing food. Super Food; There are many reasons to celebrate National Avocado Day. Targeting insulin resistance with heart-healthy fats and fighting Alzheimer’s with its Omega 3 fatty acids, the avocado also prevents and repairs damage due to its source of Vitamins C, E and K. One of the secret weapons in an avocado is the high oleic acid content. This moisturizing fatty acid helps keep skin soft and hydrated but also supports regeneration of damaged skin cells reducing redness and irritation. Eat more of this superfruit or cook with avocado oil if you have this type of skin issue. Beauty; Ancient Aztecs used the avocado to beautify their skin topically with masks, and in the early 20th century the cosmetic industry discovered the benefits of its oil in creams, lotions, facial cleansers and other products that required a smooth application. The practice continues today. Avocados have found their way into every meal of the day and even into dessert. The creamy texture replaces calorie-laden oils with healthful fats so we can indulge without the guilt.

🐕National Mutt Day encourages us to embrace, save and celebrate mixed breed dogs twice a year on July 31st and December 2nd. Desperately longing for a new home, millions of loving and healthy mixed breed dogs in shelters across the United States are waiting for someone to come and adopt them. National Mutt Day provides an excellent opportunity to find the perfect canine companion. Despite the name, a mutt learns, obeys and trains much like purebred animals. While their lineage cannot be traced and their features a bit murky, their companionship will be faithful. Celebrity Pet Expert and Animal Welfare Advocate, Colleen Paige, founded National Mutt Day in 2005.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶🌤

Four more waterfalls in the U.S. state of Maryland. I'm really interested in what you think of the Paw Paw Falls and it's tunnel. They say the tunnel is haunted. Would you go through a 3,118-foot-long (950 m) haunted tunnel for a waterfall?👻😳

🇺🇸Maryland🇺🇸 💦Kilgore Falls! The Falling Branch area of Rocks State Park is located about five miles north of the main park on a separate 67-acre parcel of land. It is home to the 17 foot (6 m) high Kilgore Falls, which is Maryland's second highest vertical drop waterfall.

💦Susquehanna Falls, Havre de Grace is in Susquehanna State Park in Harford County, Maryland.

💦Tolliver Falls is in Swallow Falls State Park, Garrett County, Oakland, Maryland

💦Paw Paw Falls! Hike along a tree covered trail to an old canal tunnel built in 1836, then make your way through the spooky dark tunnel and come out on the other side to a waterfall. This hike is a short 2.4 miles to the other side of the tunnel and back. It's easily accessible, located right off the highway at the Paw Paw Tunnel Campground on the Potamac River at the border of Maryland and West Virgina. The trail is located on the Maryland side of the river. The Paw Paw Tunnel is a 3,118-foot-long (950 m) canal tunnel on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (C&O) in Allegany County, Maryland. Located near Paw Paw, West Virginia, it was built to bypass the Paw Paw Bends, a six-mile (9.7 km) stretch of the Potomac River containing five horseshoe-shaped bends.
