It’s the season for celebrating the best of simple pleasures.

Apologies for the late post. The first day of autumn as you know was yesterday. It was also Hobbit Day (Frodo and Bilbo’s birthday). I find it worthy of note because I am a hobbit at heart, and wholeheartedly agree with Tolkien that “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

Here are a few more upcoming days of note:

September 25 – World Cooking Day

October 1 – International Coffee Day / World Smile Day

October 2- International Day of Non-Violence (Ghandi’s birthday)

October 4 – World Habitat Day

October 10 – World Mental Health Day

October 11 – Canadian Thanksgiving / International Day of the Girl Child

October 20 – National Chicken and Waffles Day

October 25 – National Art Day (Picasso’s birthday)

October 31 – Halloween

Enjoy the season!
