WATCH:
Polar Bear Day
Polar Bear Day celebrates one of nature’s most impressive hunters and the world’s largest carnivore. When fully grown, polar bears can span an enormous 9 feet (2.7m) in height.
Strawberry Day
Strawberry Day was created to celebrate those little red fruits bursting with sweet perfection. A gift from Chile in the 1700s, garden strawberry plants made their way to North America in the 1750s. If you’d like your own homegrown strawberries this summer, make sure your plant has full sun and sandy soil – and your dogs don’t eat off all the berries before you can pick a few. If fresh strawberries aren’t at their best in your grocery store, don’t forget the many accessible forms you can always get your hands on. Frozen and dried strawberries can help in a pinch if you’re creating in the kitchen. Strawberry preserves, ice cream, yogurt, smoothies and milkshakes are nothing to shake a stick at either. But if you are one of the lucky folks who stumbled upon some great fresh strawberries, you can whip up a strawberry pie, shortcake or even a simple dish of strawberries and cream.
