Poultry Day Oh yes, its a fowl, fowl day Poultry Day, that is! Celebrate this whole range of domestic feathered friends that are raised for their meat and eggs by thinking about just how boring Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays would be without the addition of a turkey, chicken, duck, goose or pheasant to the table. How naked would your fancy salad be without a quails egg quivering at the top? How incomplete would that Chicken Pot Pie be without well the chicken?It is for all these reasons and more that we pause and say thank you to poultry for enhancing our diets and giving us opportunities to fight over the wishbone, draw lots over who gets the last drumstick, and encourage sibling rivalry by letting them fight out whose turn it is to crack the egg into the cake batter. Whether its a honk honk, gobble gobble, or a cluck cluck, it all sounds the same to us delicious! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/poultry-day/
National Chocolate Caramel Day What better way to celebrate Chocolate Caramel Day than with a favourite chocolate bar, or a piece of millionaire shortbread? Tuck in! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-caramel-day/
Client's Day No matter what goods or services you sell, the truth is that your business would be nothing without its clients. No matter whether were talking about those who visit the shopping mall every few weeks or those who prefer to make their purchases over the internet, the truth is that no business would make it without them. Theyre the ones who not only pay you for what you offer, but do a great amount of advertising for you as well. Remember: no celebrity paid thousands if not millions of dollars to say he or she loves a certain product could ever convince your stubborn but lovable grandparents to buy an item as well as you can, and your satisfied clients do you favors like this every single day. And thats why showing them your appreciation is so important! Clients Day was created for the purpose of letting all of your clients know just how glad you are that theyve chosen your company. So what are you waiting for? Its time to celebrate them! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/clients-day/

Swallows Return to San Juan Capistrano Day The miracle of the "Swallows" of Capistrano takes place each year at the Mission San Juan Capistano, on March 19th, St. Joseph's Day.
As the little birds wing their way back to the most famous Mission in California, the village of San Juan Capistrano takes on a fiesta air and the visitors from all parts of the world, and all walks of life, gather in great numbers to witness the "miracle" of the return of the swallows.

(54,386 posts)I'm now in the Rheinland area of northwestern Germany. You'd have to drive to Nome, Alaska, get someone to ferry you across the Bering Strait, and then drive across Siberia and European Russia, and finally get here a few exhausted weeks later. 23 hours and 31 minutes from central Sweden or the north of Sicily maybe?

(28,394 posts)We have barn swallows here. They soar like little jet planes. They are great insect controllers, too! I love them.
