Today, Kevin and I went with a friend and his son to see the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. Since the Red Sox made it into the playoffs last night, they seem to slack off a bit this afternoon. Unfortunately, they lost 2:1 against the Tigers. But this didn’t stop us from having a good time at the ballpark. Kevin and I had a couple of hot dogs and an Italian sausage roll. The food was great. I always enjoyed Boston’s cuisine.
After the game, we all rode the bus back home to Connecticut. It was a long, eventful, and fun day. Perfect date with the hubby. 😊
Get your bulky cameras ready, unfold your maps, and make sure your fanny pack still fits snugly. World Tourism Day raises awareness of the need for accessible tourism all over the planet. World Tourism Day is the result of the work done by the UN’s specialized agency — the World Tourism Organization (WTO). If you ever strolled through a charming, perfectly preserved European village or town, you have probably seen the WTO at work. Boosting local economies and ensuring sustainable tourism are just a few of the benefits of the WTO. More importantly, on World Tourism Day, the WTO makes sure that travel is accessible for everyone, including those with disabilities and folks with low incomes. Whether you’re walking with a cane or rolling in a chair, the world is open for business to you and your friends. So, get traveling!
Rabbits are small mammals with fluffy hair and bushy tails. They can be found in almost every country on the planet and are similar to other Lagomorpha species, such as hares and pikas. Fossils found by archaeologists in the 20th century suggest that rabbits evolved in Asia around 40 million years ago. There are different breeds of rabbits in Australia, Africa, and other continents.
The most popular domesticated rabbits are the wild European rabbits. They initially evolved 4,000 years ago on the Iberian Peninsula, now Spain. Back then, Romans arrived on the land and began breeding them for their meat and fur. As civilization grew, so did trade, and Europeans introduced the rabbit business to more countries. Rabbits adapted regardless of the weather temperatures and, with their rapid reproduction rates, thrived in numbers.
Rabbits were said to be domesticated in the fifth century by monks in France, who kept them as a source of ready food. In time, they started selecting them according to size and color to retain specific traits. By the 19th century, there were a variety of breeds due to selective breeding, which led to breeding them for shows. Children began to form sentimental attachments to them, and people realized how sensitive and delicate these creatures were.
The rest of the raised beds were built and filled with soil. and ready for some planting. Joshua was my greenhouse inspector. He would make sure the beds were built to standard. The vegetable seedlings grew nicely and were ready to be planted into the beds.
