October 22nd: National Nut Day, and National Color Day.

🥜National Nut Day! Created by the Liberation Foods Company —the U.K.’s only Fair Trade, farmer-owned nut company—in hopes to raise awareness of Fair Trade nuts and encourage a healthy diet. Nuts come in a vast variety of shapes and sizes. Nuts are also delicious and nutritious. Almonds are rich in protein, calcium, and vitamin E, while all nuts provide large amounts of healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Nuts are also a good snack when your on the run and no time for a lunch break.

🖍🌈National Color Day! Think of all the colors that signal something in your life. From the color of the shirt you have on to the stop light down on the corner and all the colors of flowers. Imagine a world without the mineral chrysocolla. This mineral formed from hydrated copper phyllosilicate develops colors from a brilliant cyan to jade green. From darkening skies before a storm to the undulating fragile glow of the aurora borealis, color in nature moves us to pause and enjoy or to warn us of impending danger. Long before colors had names, they served a purpose. Different colors are perceived to mean different things. The following is one rendition of the perceived meaning of the various colors in the United States. Red: Excitement – Love – Strength, Yellow: Competence – Happiness, Green: Good Taste – Envy – Relaxation, Blue: Corporate – High Quality, Pink: Sophistication – Sincerity, Violet/Purple: Authority – Power, Brown:  Ruggedness, Black:  Grief – Fear, White: Happiness – Purity.

Sometime time you feel like a nut...😂...no wait that's a candy bar. I do love nuts, all nuts, except macadamia nuts, those I don't care for. My favorites are cashew, pecan and walnut. Yummy. I knew nuts were good for you I just didn't know how much. I may have to add more to my diet. I hadn't thought about how much color effects our lives. But I'm aware now. I love my colors🌈. Forest green, purple, and burgundy are the top three of my favorite colors.

I also sleep the same way. I don't know what kind of monster it is but it has huge sharp teeth. And those closed closet doors keeps the one in there contained thank goodness. When my hubby work the midnight shift I had to sleep with a night light on. To many horror movies.

Sending nutty hugs under a rainbow of colors!🐶🐞🎃👻💕🍂💕
