National Themes For June 17: Global Garbage Man Day, National Eat Your Vegetables Day, National Stewart’s Root Beer Day, National Apple Strudel Day, and National Cherry Tart Day.

🗑Global Garbage Man Day! The nation and the world takes time to recognize the dedicated efforts of the men and women who keep our communities clean. We describe the experts who collect the garbage, recyclables and castoffs from our homes and neighborhoods by several names. Whether they are the sanitation specialists or waste management professionals, we appreciate their arrival on a regularly scheduled basis. The role of waste management goes far beyond garbage collection. In each community, they provide a variety of services and programs designed to protect and reduce the impact we have on our environment. Global Garbage Man Day celebrates the great strides the industry and the experts are taking to make a better world for all of us. John D. Arwood founded National Garbage Man Day in 2011 to honor the men and women working hard in the industry to keep communities safe and clean. Recognizing efforts around the world, the celebration became Global Garbage Man Day.

🥗National Eat Your Vegetables Day! June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, and National Eat Your Vegetables Day is one more opportunity to remind everyone to continue with this part of a healthy diet. Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. As part of the main meal or as a snack, vegetables can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Each vegetable has its own nutritional content though generally, they contain a little protein or fat and varying proportions of vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin K and Vitamin B6, provitamins, dietary minerals and carbohydrates. They also contain a variety of other phytochemicals, some of which have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties. Many vegetables also contain fiber which is important for gastrointestinal function. Another benefit is the essential nutrients that vegetables contain that are necessary for healthy hair and skin. When eating a diet consisting of the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, it may help lower the risk of heart diseases and type 2 diabetes. These diets may also help to decrease bone loss and protect against some cancers. The potassium provided may help prevent the formation of kidney stones. It is recommended by the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, to consume 3 to 5 servings of vegetables per day. This recommendation may vary, however, depending on age and gender. For most vegetables, one serving is equivalent of 1/2 to 1 cup and can be eaten either raw or cooked.

🍺National Stewart’s Root Beer Day. Celebrating this holiday is easy, just gather together some friends and some Stewart’s Root Beer! Originating in 1924 in Mansfield Ohio, Stewart’s Fountain Classics were a brand of old-fashioned fountain sodas. They are a brand of premium soft drinks made in the United States. Founded by Frank Stewart, he set up his first drive-in root beer stand to supplement his income as a school teacher.

🍎🍰National Apple Strudel Day! In German, the word strudel means whirlpool or eddy. This tasty dessert is perfectly described by its German language as the sweet mixture of fruit, sugar, spices and layers of thin dough that are rolled together and baked. The result is a bubbling, flaky treat. Often served at bakeries and coffee shops, strudel can also be a savory dish.

🍒National Cherry Tart Day! A tart has a shallow crust and the filling can be sweet or savory. As with apples, sweet fruit is best saved for eating fresh. Use those sour cherries and sweeten them up with some sugar to make a delicious tart.

Fishhook barrel: The thick, barrel-shaped body of this cactus is usually 2 to 4 feet (0.6-1.2 m) tall, occasionally reaching over 10 feet (3 m). (The rest of the info is in the state day.)

Thank goodness for trash pick up. The men or women that does this job deserve recognition for all that they do. I eat my veggies, the ones I like. I'll pass on the root beer and cherry tart and have some yummy apple strudel.

We've had nothing but thunder storms off and on for the last two days.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶⛈🌤
