July 11

It's E.B. White's birthday! In 1899.

From Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables:
It's nice to be eating ice cream at brilliant restaurants at 11:00 at night once in a while, but as a regular thing I'd rather be in the east gable at 11, sound asleep, but kind-of knowing even in my sleep that the stars were shining outside and that the wind was blowing in the firs across the brook.
It's national Blueberry Muffin Day! Whew, a lot of these foods must assume somebody with air conditioning is making them. Of course blueberries are beautiful this time of year...
