It’s January 21. 
Today is “National Hugging Day.”  Who in your family gives the best hugs?  Who is your favorite anti-hugger?

Trivial Fact of the Day:  Carrots were originally purple. Orange carrots came about through hybrid** attempts of Dutch farmers.  You can still grow purple carrots from seed companies.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Wisdom begins in wonder.” 
--Socrates (Greek Philosopher)
**Vocabulary Word of the Day:  hybrid (adjective) – use this word to describe something that comes from a mixture of two (or more) origins.  Some cars and plants can be described as hybrids, but what else?  Be creative!
