October 28, 2012 is Mother-in-Law Day! Take a few moments to celebrate this very important member of your family. Send your mother-in-law a card, call her up for a chat, or surprise her with an impromptu visit from the grand-kids!
A recent study found that over 50% of Americans consider their mother-in-law to be a true friend. These wonderful individuals are always there for us, providing lots of love and support. Today is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the two families that came together when you married, and the woman who raised your spouse!
Today is also Wild Foods Day.
This is a holiday for everyone from gourmet cooks to whole food lovers, homesteaders, health nuts and environmentalists. Today is a day to celebrate, seek out and find, or even just learn a little about the wild foods that grow in your area. Wild foods are great nutrition and green, (as long as they are not in an area where pesticides/fungicides etc. are sprayed). Eating wild will help us to understand the world and seasons around us. Each year people harvest apples, and huckleberries, and can jelly from the blackberries that grow wild in their area. This unofficial holiday appears (according to google) to have been started by wild life forests and parks as a day to educate people on how to find food in the wild.
