February 20
Birthday of the
Candle Mold
Patented this day, 1846
Thousands of candles can be lighted
from a single candle,
and the life of the candle
will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases
by being shared.
~ Buddha
It is Hoodie Hoo Day. At noon today we must all holler “Hoodie Hoo” sending our cry out to the universe. Why? To chase away winter and beckon spring.
It’s also Love Your Pet Day on the monthly calendar. I love my pets, my 4 cats, deeply. I can’t imagine a life without cats. Here’s the funny thing, I’m quite allergic to cats, but that didn’t happen until I was a teenager and by then I was already well on my way to being a crazy cat lady. Crazy Cat Lady, a moniker I wear with pride. I hope you’ll check out all the fun holidays and Smileys on this month’s Month of Smiley Silliness.
Today we say happy birthday with Cherry Pie. You guessed it, it’s Cherry Pie Day, too. Today’s birthdays are Kurt Cobain (1967), Rihanna (1988), Ansel Adams (1902), and the always wonderful Sidney Poitier (1927). And then of course there’s the fact that today is the birthday of one of my kids!!
BTW, the Smileys and holidays on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see here on the website’s Daily Smiley.
