April 4 – Square Root Day

n
n

n

n

nThisnis definitely not an annual holiday. In other words, many years,nthere is no Square Root Day. That’s because the day has to do withnthe specific day, month, and year. If both the day and the month arensquare roots of the last two digits of the year, Square Root Day isndeclared!

  When I say “square meals” – I do not mean cutting food into little cubes! Instead I mean eating healthy, well-balanced meals.

  n

  nEatn three square meals, and involve root plants in each.

  Potatoes withn your eggs, for breakfast?

  Carrots and radishes in your salad forn lunch, perhaps?

  And maybe beets at dinnertime, along with somethingn like chicken or tofu?

  n

n

n

n

n
n

n

n

n

n
• Don some square dancing, or play four-square, or learn about magic squares.

n

• nDon NOT trim your tree roots to be squares! That really messes with yourn tree’s growth!

  n

n

n

n

n

n

And it can mess up a perfectly good trail, as well:

nEnjoynSquare Root Day to the maximum. Remember, there won’t be another onenfor years!
