Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well, here in the US today marks the unofficial end of Summer….Labor Day. I think it’s funny how here in America we don’t bother using calendars to mark the start and end of our summers…we just know Memorial Day is the unofficial start and Labor Day is the unofficial end. Sometimes I think we just like the excuse for a good Barbecue! 😉
Of course, Labor Day isn’t really about the end of summer…and it isn’t only celebrated in the US (our friends up in Canada are celebrating it today as well…). Labor Day (or Labour Day) is a celebration of the worker’s movement. It’s meant to honor those who contribute to the strength and prosperity of their country. (you can read more about it here)
Anywho… most Americans will spend today soaking up what’s left of their summer and we’re no exception here.
Don’t worry… we’ll still be popping in and out of the comments throughout the day to help you with all of your Moe’s Ark Event questions. Just keep in mind it might take us a little while to moderate through all the comments, so we thank you in advance for your patience!
We hope you all have a GREAT day! Do you have any plans for today? Did you enjoy your summer? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Canada does the same thing in May with the Victoria Day long weekend (Closest Monday to the 24th without going over), around here there’s a parade and fireworks, but it serves as the unofficial start to summer, too. Some people even go camping. Brave souls. Our weather is usually far from stable at that point. June has the nickname Juneuary for a reason.
Have a good Labour Day, everyone! Especially those of you starting school/university this week (around here it’s the Tues after Labour Day they go back.)
I mark the coming of spring when there’s enough bugs for my barn swallows to show up ~ between easter and memorial day. And then fall, when there’s not enough bugs to sustain the colony ~ labour day.
Happy Labour Day everyone! Hip hip hooray for the backbones of our countries!
Happy labor or labour day
I’m at work 😁 I hope you all can catch your breath a little. We love hearing from you! <3
