International Eat an Apple Day

Today we celebrate International Eat an Apple Day!  With orchards around the world at the peak of their apple harvest, why not make a day of apple picking and baking!  This week I had my fair share of apple season celebrations baking all sorts of goodies for the family... apple pies, tarts, cobblers, dumplings, the possibilities were endless.

It doesn't matter what shape or form, make sure you get your apple in today (to keep the doctor away... as they say) ;)

Travel Ontario: Collect Rocks Day on Flower Pot Island

Today is September 16th, Collect Rocks Day.

From cavemen who collected rocks for tools to miners who gather ore for mineral extraction, rock collecting has spanned across time and technology... why not join the fun?!  Pick one! Any.  The earth's entire lithosphere (outer shell) is composed of rock.  If you ask me, one of the best places to collect rocks in Canada is Flower Pot Island, where the world-renowned rock formations are the main feature of the island and the rock-abound beaches are a testimony of the beautiful work of nature itself.  Take a look, then take a trip.
