Happy World Snake Day! Even if you’re not a fan, take a moment to appreciate their importance and consider learning something new about these fascinating, amazing reptiles. Every creature has its place in nature!

It’s both Astronomy Day and Whisk(e)y Day, so nightfall will be perfect for pouring a glass of whiskey & raising a toast to the stars and the vastness of the universe. Explore the constellations and the complex flavors of your warming beverage as you breathe in & just . . . be.
