Daily Holidays - August 15

[Sherman A1]

Lemon Meringue Pie Day Are you hungry? Pie lovers and lemon lovers from across the country get your forks ready, August 15th is National Lemon Meringue Pie Day!
Served as a dessert, lemon meringue pie is a type of baked pie usually made with a crust of shortbread pastry, lemon curd filling and a fluffy meringue topping.
Meringue was perfected in the 17th century and lemon meringue pie, as we know it today, was perfected in the 19th century. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-lemon-meringue-pie-day-august-15/

National Relaxation Day Slow down… breath, and relax. Relaxation Day is all about winding down and just taking it easy. If you’re lucky enough to have the day off work, enjoy a quiet morning watching TV from the sofa, and perhaps consider some light gardening in the afternoon – all in the spirit of relaxing! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/relaxation-day/

World Honey Bee Day , previously known as Honey Bee Awareness Day, is an idea put together by beekeepers in the USA, who petitioned the USDA in 2009 for an official day to honour honey bees and beekeeping. A few years down the line, people across the globe are holding a date of observation every year.

Honey Bee awareness enthusiasts will likely put a bee in your bonnet and say this is not so much a day to celebrate honey bees, as it is to promote their involvement in sustainable farming.
On this day, bee lovers everywhere decorate their gardens with lavender, borage and marjoram, the bee’s knees in pollinator lures. If you have the time and patience, bake some honey chippers and make your own honey fruit cobbler. And because you’ve been as busy as a bee all day, sit back and watch Hitchcock’s ‘The Bees’. You’ll count your blessings honey bees are nothing like South American killer bees! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-honey-bee-day/

Corn on The Cob Day Love corn on the cob? If so, Corn On The Cob Day is for you! Share your passion with the world, and consider visiting Plainview, Minneapolis for a variety of parades, festivities and… yes… more corn on the cob than you can eat. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/corn-on-the-cob-day/

International Homeless Animal Day Every day, animals are abandoned or placed into kennels, dependent on charities and goodwill. These organisations are strained beyond coping, and are desperate to raise awareness of the plight of homeless and abandoned animals. Homeless Animals Day aims to educate people about pet abandonment, feral animals and benefits or neutering domestic animals. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/homeless-animals-day/
