You can see the video here:


Yesterday I saw Mr. Coyote in my pasture. I went out on the porch with my camera and he stopped and looked at me. I said "hello" and then he ran a bit and stopped again....





I found some old chips in the cupboard, so I smashed them up and tossed them out back for the birds. We have a couple crows who frequent out there. Noisy guys! So, instead of the crows showing up, the turkeys did.....



I needed an afternoon cocktail and snack... a little of Jerry's favorite tequila in a Texas (he was born there) shot glass and some 'in store made' Safeway guacamolé.... and rice crackers.
    YUMMMMM
Later dinner was air fried sirloin, green beans with parmesan cheese, and tomatoe. Perfect. Steak in Air Fryer for 15 minutes at 400º. Crispy on the outside, pink on the inside.




All I know. Nuff said. Happy Father's Day. Ciao.

Father's Day
 

History of Father's Day in US

Modern version of Father's Day celebration originated in United States of America and thereafter the tradition spread in countries around the world. The world owes thanks to Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd a loving daughter from Spokane, Washington as it is because of her struggle that Father's Day saw the light of the day.


The idea of Father's Day celebration originated in Sonora's mind when she per chance listened to Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Fairly mature at the age 27, Sonora pondered if there is a day to honor mother then why not for father? Sonora felt strongly for fathers because of the affection she received from her own father Mr William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran. Sonora's mother died while childbirth when she was just 16. Mr Smart raised the newborn and five other children with love and care.

Inspired by Ms Anna Jarvis's struggle to promote Mother's Day, Ms Dodd began a rigorous campaign to celebrate Father's Day in US. The Spokane Ministerial Association and the local Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) supported Sonora's cause. As a result Spokane celebrated its first Father's Day on June 19, 1910. Though there was initial hesitation the idea gained gradual popularity all over US and Fathers Day came to be celebrated in cities across the country

Looking at the heightened popularity of Father's Day in US, President Woodrow
 Wilson approved of this idea in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge too supported
 the idea of a national Father's Day in 1924 to, "establish more intimate
 relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full
 measure of their obligations". After a protracted struggle of over four decades,
 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third  
Sunday of June as Father's Day in 1966. Then in 1972, President Richard Nixon 
established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the 
third Sunday of June. Sonora Smart Dodd was honored for her contribution at 
the World's Fair in Spokane in 1974. Mrs. Dodd died in 1978 at age 96.
