Bird Day is celebrated on January 5th in the USA and Canada. World Migratory Bird Day is celebrated on the Second Saturday in May (May 14, 2022) and the second Saturday in October (October 9, 2022). These celebrations hope to alert people to the dangers these remarkable creatures face in our modern world (air and light pollution, loss of nesting grounds, and pesticides to name a few).
The world’s heaviest strawberry (recorded by Guinness World Records) was a whopping 10.19 ounces (289 grams) grown and picked on a family farm near the city of Netanya in central Israel. With summer comes festivals, concerts, and picking fresh fruit from your local farm. Which also means National Strawberry Month. A month we celebrate everything strawberry. But will there be enough to go around this year? Bad weather conditions and labor shortages have created a shortage of strawberries for 2022, but is that the only reason we will be missing these sweet red berries? We have seen an uprise of thefts in the recent years from grocery stores and farms.
