National Themes For May 30th: National Creativity Day, National Water a Flower Day, National Hole In My Bucket Day, National Mint Julep Day, Loomis Day, and World Multiple Sclerosis Day.

🎨National Creativity Day! Whether you are an artist, writer, musician, filmmaker, blogger, photographer, graphic artist, or any of 100 other creative personalities, the world is going to celebrate you and your creative pursuit. Other than nature, everything within sight originated with a creative thought from someone!

🌷National Water a Flower Day! This time of year, our flower gardens should be in full bloom. Be sure to keep them hydrated. Not just one, but all of them. On National Water a Flower Day, it is also an opportunity to care for the gardens of those who may be homebound or in the hospital. The time to visit a friend who may need some cheering up by bringing them some freshly watered flowers.

🛢National Hole in My Bucket Day! This wacky holiday is in honor of the fun children’s song; There’s a Hole in My Bucket. The song which has origins in 1700 Germany, is about a back and forth conversation between Henry and Liza. Henry needs to fix his leaky bucket. In each stanza, Henry asks Liza for advice. In the end, he needs a bucket to carry water to repair his bucket.

🍹National Mint Julep Day! Each year, people around the country gather for a glass of mint julep! This refreshing southern classic is a traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby. A classic mint julep is made with a mint leaf, bourbon, sugar and water. In the Southern states, where mint julep is more associated with the cuisine, spearmint is the mint of choice. Preparation of the drink may vary from one bartender to another. It is believed that the mint julep originated in the southern United States sometime during the 18th century. The term “julep” is generally defined as a sweet drink, particularly one used as a vehicle for medicine. During the 19th century, Americans also enjoyed a gin-based julep. Each year almost 120,000 mint juleps are served at Churchill Downs over the two-day period of the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby. May 2008 – Churchill Downs unveiled the world’s largest mint julep glass (6-foot tall).

📞Loomis Day! Washington, DC dentist, Mahlon Loomis, received US patent number 129,971 titled “An Improvement in Telegraphing” on wireless telegraphy in July of 1872. Born on July 21, 1826 (d. October 13, 1886), Mahlon Loomis was a dentist, the inventor of artificial teeth and one of the earliest inventors of wireless communication. Leading up to his patent, Loomis conducted many experiments in electricity using kites flying miles apart in the mountains of Virginia. Then in 1868 before several scientists and Congressmen, he demonstrated his wireless telegraphic system. While he couldn’t explain how he was able to produce the transmission, he appealed to Congress for an appropriation to incorporate the Loomis Aerial Telegraph Company for research. Senator Charles Sumner introduced the bill, and on May 30 in 1872, the Committee on Commerce reported poorly on the measure. Stripped of its appropriations, it eventually passed in 1873 strictly as a bill of incorporation.

🎗World Multiple Sclerosis Day creates an opportunity to boost awareness and connect those with MS to resources and improve support systems. As one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, Multiple Sclerosis impacts more than 2.3 million people around the world according to the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation. The term multiple sclerosis means “many scars,” and this term relates to the areas that appear on the brain and spinal cord after the myelin covering our nerves is damaged or dies. The damaged myelin leaves a lesion behind. These lesions are identified by an MRI when symptoms begin to appear. The resulting symptoms vary and progress at different rates for each person diagnosed with MS. The disease is unpredictable, progressive and challenging to diagnose. The cause is also unknown. While there is no cure, treatments are advancing to help slow the progression of MS and reduce the symptoms. As with many conditions, education, research, and funding are necessary. Since 2009, the Mulitple Sclerosis International Federation has sponsored World MS Day to raise awareness and provide resources for everyone affected by Multiple Sclerosis.

Get creative and patch that hole in the bucket so there will be water for the flower and the mint julep can be mix up in it later.😁

Do you think 50 pics are to many for next state day?

Better start with the mild green chili first.

Warm fuzzy hugs!💕🐶🐶🌦⛈
