I love the parade of wildlife at the end of your post! 😍

How fitting is it that we celebrate wildlife on the first day of school here! All the wildlife (kiddos) will now have to settle down and hit the books! 😂 Meanwhile, actual animals are breathing a sigh of relief, as the kids aren’t home all day or in the parks. I’m like you, I love learning new facts about animals...any animals, including the ones that scare me. 😱🕷 One of the reasons I miss teaching so much is I miss teaching about certain subjects, animals included. 🐘🐋🐳🐬

Very interesting information about macadamia nuts. I had no idea they originally came from Australia. I thought they were Hawaiian, as macadamia nuts were everywhere when we were there on our honeymoon. They aren’t my favorite nut either, and I can only take them in small doses. I prefer them not baked into cookies or other baked goods. I can’t even remember the last time I had one. 😊

We no longer subscribe to our newspaper anymore. One of the reasons why we cancelled it was unreliable newspaper carriers. Now I just look the paper online if I want to know something. My dad and uncle were newspaper carriers on their bikes up and down the hilly streets of Los Angeles. They did such a great job that they were honored with a trip to San Francisco where they were presented with new watches. I think my dad was in 9th grade. My uncle would’ve been in 10th grade. I have a newspaper clipping of them getting their watches. Happy Newspaper Carrier Day to those who have their own routes! 🗞

Boy, do I need a day for getting rid of clutter! I don’t know how I can accumulate so much stuff, but somehow it creeps up on me, and I need to weed it all out. It’s a good thing there are a couple days a year for decluttering. I just need to find my motivation first! 🤪

I am all set up for emailing again, both on hubby’s new computer and my iPad, so later this morning, I’ll declutter my inbox. Yippee! 😩 I hope it’s a one-day job. I know there is a lot waiting for me.

Sending you gentle and safe bear hugs for wildlife day. No worries, though...they’re friendly! 🐻🐻🤗🤗🐶💖🌻🗞🐘🐰
