May 4th is National Black Authors Day. I think I have another Percival Everett I haven't read yet around here somewhere...

Goodreads informs me that May is also Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month.

One more: May is Garden for Wildlife month. I just secured 2 buckets of sunchokes to increase their holdings in the back forty. Planted anything lately that feeds the local insects?

I bought some sunchokes at the farmers' market several years ago, but I didn't care for them at all. To be fair, I suspect I didn't cook them right.

It's finally "Clean Up Your Room" day, everybody!
Yeah, I'll be ignoring that, too.

I don't even know what a sunchoke is. Helianthus tuberosus is a 6-foot member of the sunflower family with tiny little flowers at the top of the plant and delicious potatolike roots at the bottom. They are wonderful roasted. |

If you are a Pastafarian, May 18th is Russell's Teapot Day.  |

May 20th is World Bee Day. You may be interested to know that Tony Todd got paid an extra $1,000 per sting when he starred in CANDYMAN, which used non-CGI bees on the set. He made almost thirty grand extra playing that role.  |

Bees are fantastic. I used to be afraid of them when I was little, but now I absolutely love them.

Most children are afraid of bees. I suspect that's because they don't know how to spot the differences between them and, say, hornets or yellowjackets, which do indeed warrant a certain amount of trepidation. |

It didn't help that my dumb butt used to pick bees that died inside our porch in Maryland and attempt to play with them. Yes, I got stung by dead bees more than once.  |

Someone on Threads, with an American accent, said May 26th is National Redhead Day. Didn't we just do that a short time ago though?

Gators Daily informs me that May 29th is also National Alligatos Day. The rites must be solemn indeed.
