I agree with Hawthorne. A day with cool weather and sunshine is one of my favorite types of days. Now that the temperatures here have started to come down a bit, I’ve been trying to walk outside everyday. 🍁🍂 This is my favorite time of year, and I’m worried it’s going to go by too fast!! Anyone else feel the same? ⠀⁣

Who else sees something and immediately thinks of a way you can make it yourself?? I do it ALL the time (flashback to the Halloween ring toss game 🤣). I’ve gotten better at scaling back, but I don’t think that trait ever really goes away. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Plus, it’s never as easy as it seems, and it’s rarely cheaper. Treasures at @michaelsstores add up quick. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Please tell me you’ve tried to make something yourself that sucked up all your time, energy, and 💰. ⠀⁣

It’s a perfect time to read one of the best picture books on this planet, The Scarecrow by @bethferry and @thefanbrothers (same talented guys who wrote and illustrated The Night Gardener). The Scarecrow is everything you ever wanted in a picture book and more. The magical story touches on themes of loneliness and friendship using rhyme, personification, and figurative language to hook all ages of readers. There’s so much you can do with this book!! ⠀⁣

Do you include the apostrophe or leave it out?⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🇺🇸 According to the Office of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Day does not include an apostrophe but does include an “s” because it is a day for honoring all veterans, not a day that belongs to veterans. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🇺🇸 The US Department of Defense does not include an apostrophe in the spelling of Veterans Day for the same reason stated above. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🇺🇸 When nouns act as adjectives, they are called attributive nouns. Since it’s attributive, not possessive, the apostrophe is omitted. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
All that being said, the meaning behind the day is what’s important, not the apostrophe. Thank you to all our veterans. 🇺🇸❤⠀⁣
