"Each year on April 19th, Project Laundry List works with hundreds of other organizations to sponsor National Hanging Out Day. This day encourages communities to learn about the benefits, both financially and environmentally, of using a clothesline for drying laundry. According to Project Laundry Lists’ website, clothes dryers account for an astonishing six to ten percent of residential energy consumption. Hanging your clothes out to dry also includes all these other benefits: You will reduce your carbon footprint. You will save money. The fresh air and sunshine recharge our bodies in therapeutic ways. Clothes dried on a clothesline have a natural freshness. It encourages us to slow down."
My notes: Who uses a clothesline? I haven't used a dryer for over 15 years. I don't hang them outside. Then I don't have to worry 'bout rain, bird droppings, sand, etc. I have a room we aptly named the Clothesline room lol

We used to have lots of clothes lines in Sri Lanka, but not in the US, LOL. Now if I need to line dry something, I use a hanger to hang the item from my shower curtain railing and that works for me.

"On April 19th, National North Dakota Day recognizes the Peace Garden State. Long before Lewis and Clark traveled up the Missouri River, the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara arrived in North Dakota. During the Corps of Discovery, the team camped at Fort Mandan along the Missouri River for the winter. Here, their translators, Sacagawea and Charbonneau, joined the expedition. Sacagawea would also give birth to her son, Jean Baptiste.
As the settlement expanded, disputes over land increased. Fort Abraham Lincoln preserves the home of Gen. George and Libby Custer, the military commissary, blockhouses, and the Mandan Indian Village along the Missouri River. Theodore Roosevelt arrived in North Dakota in 1883 and fell in love with badlands and outdoor life. He would later be elected the 26th U.S. President and served from 1901 to 1909. His love of the badlands led to his conservation and preservation efforts. The North Dakota Badlands are named Theodore Roosevelt National Park in his name."
My notes: Sounds like a peaceful state! Anybody live or been there?

"On the third Wednesday in April, take a bite of the fruit that also makes an excellent prop for jokes on National Banana Day! The day focuses on the nutrition of the fruit as well as the way comedy has used the banana in its acts. This low-fat, low-calorie snack offers a boost of fiber, potassium, and vitamins, with B6 and C leading the way. It also provides a healthy gram of protein, too. Add a banana to your morning cereal or grab one to go with your granola. They also add so much delicious flavor to baked goods. Many bakers know that when those bananas turn brown to toss them in the freezer for baking muffins and breads later."
My notes: I make mock ice cream with frozen bananas & have a shake every morning with almond butter, stevia, cocoak powder. How do you like your bananas?

I love bananas and used to eat one every day. Lately though they don't taste the same even the "organic" ones.

"On April 19th, National Amaretto Day recognizes a liqueur known around the world for its flavor and aroma. In Italian, the word Amaretto means "a little bitter," because it is made from bitter almonds or apricot kernels, or both. Makers infuse it in pure alcohol or brandy, resulting in a strong almond flavor. This traditionally Italian liqueur carries a reputation for being fragrant."
My notes: What do you think of this? While I like almonds, I have never had amaretto.
