With the weather forecast guaranteed to be a little chilly on April 23, National Picnic Day may have to take place indoors in this corner of Pennsylvania. But the thought of a picnic appeals to me. Here’s the history of the picnic and some fun stuff about picnics. Here’s a blissfully domestic post with pimento sandwiches — mmm.

It’s also National Cherry Cheesecake Day. April 24 is National Pigs in a Blanket Day in this national month of pecans, celery, soft pretzels and soy. There’s a mouthful.

Here are some other odd national holidays.
