Well, my west coast brother has been no help wih special days lately. He spent the past week in Des Moines on a work assignment (maybe they don't have special days in Iowa) and two days in Minneapolis when his flight home was cancelled half way there because of weather, so I'll give him a pass. Today, in desperation, because i couldn't think of anything to write about, I checked Google and here's what I found - today, April 3, is World Party Day and National Find a Rainbow Day. Tomorrow, in case you want to plan ahead, is National School Librarian Day and International Carrot Day. I did not party today, unless going to a seniors exercise class counts. It is always good for some laughs, also a lot of knee popping which sounds like quiet fireworks. Alas, no rainbows today but I am not complaining. It was warmish and sunny and actually felt like an April day should feel. My best friend was a school librarian so I will drink a toast to her tomorrow. Now that I think about it, the room where I tutor my first grader each week looks like a library with many shelves full of books, but the sign over the door says Resource Center so should school librarians now be called School Resourcists? or Resourcers? As far as Carrot Day is concerned, while I do eat carrots almost every day and am happy to celebrate them, I suspect the Easter Bunny is behind this celebration. Perhaps we should leave a plate of carrots out on Easter Eve?
