"National Fudge Day comes around each year on June 16th, allowing you to indulge in your favorite flavor of this delicious confectionery. Some of the most familiar fudge flavors are chocolate, chocolate nut, peanut butter, maple, and maple nut. Fudge lends itself to experimentation when it comes to flavors. Blending favorites or even a moment of inspiration will create a new delicious kind of fudge. Adding bits of candy, nuts, or sprinkles on National Fudge Day can bring just the right celebratory burst of excitement to an old favorite. In the late 19th century, some shops on Mackinac Island, Michigan, began to produce similar products as the Vassar College fudge and sold it to summer vacationers. Fudge is still made in some of the original shops located on the famous island. Three other fudge holidays entice us to celebration, too. Check out May 12th to celebrate all those nutty fudges. July 22nd marks Penuche Fudge Day. Finally, on November 20th, we celebrate Peanut Butter Fudge Day." My notes: How cool that they talk about Mackinac Island in my homestate! I love fudge but haven't had it in a very long time due to the high sugar content. My favorite were chocolate & mix peanut butter fudge with it

It's too hard to choose between chocolate and peanut butter, so yep, my favorite would be smooshing the two together....YUM!!! And, if you really love fudge, Mackinac Island is the place to be:-) It's an awesome tourist attraction with a fantastic history

I don’t see anything special about it. I had it. I’ve been to Mackinaw Island and it’s a great place but the fudge is eh. I had better.

"Arborist Appreciation Day is celebrated on June 16 every year. It’s the time of the year when we show appreciation to these unsung heroes of tree cultivation, maintenance, and management — and the important role they play in the logging economy. Being an arborist is a dangerous job, as there are a lot of risks involved. It’s safe to say that these men and women put their lives on the line daily in horticulture and dendrology. Today, we show our appreciation for what they do. Find out the ways you can celebrate and show support to arborists nationwide."
My notes: Plant some trees. Take care of those you do have today.

"Every year on June 16th, World Sea Turtle Day highlights the importance of sea turtles. The day also encourages global supporters to dive into the threats that sea turtles face. Did you know that sea turtles have been on the earth for over 100 million years? This means that sea turtles co-existed with dinosaurs. There are seven species of sea turtles. These include green, hawksbill, Kemp’s ridley, leatherback, loggerhead, and the Olive ridley. Of these species of sea turtles, the leatherback is the largest. The leatherback sea turtle weighs anywhere from 550 to 2,000 pounds! This type of sea turtle grows up to six feet in length. Sea turtles live in both cool and warm waters throughout the world. However, the flatback can only be found in Australia." My notes: Sea turtles are so cool!I would have thought there'd be more than 7 species. Have you seen any in the wild? I haven't. Emerald, lainee, spice I figure you may like this one

I never seen sea turtles before, but I've also never been near the ocean in my life. I'd love to see them in person someday though, they're magnificent creatures. My spouse loves turtles as well, so I'm sure they'd love to see them in person someday too.
