May — arguably the biggest turning point of the year for me. Once we hit May 24th, no more doldrums! Just a smooth, downhill coast into the second half of the year and onward to the Bers. Although I do have to contend with the SweatFest first.

Definitely!
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 216
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 191
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 130
Happy Final Week Of April! Today folks we move along and see that we have 216 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 191 days left until November and 130 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Stress-Free Spring with our next milestone arriving when May arrives in 1 week. You all know May is a big month. It’s our biggest month in this thread (other than November obviously). It’s Friday folks so time for our Fun Fact Friday below!
The turkey bird is linked to the country of Turkey.
If you've ever wondered which came first, the bird or the egg country, we have a definitive answer: The turkey bird got its name from the country due to a case of mistaken identity! During the Ottoman Empire, guinea fowl were exported from East Africa via Turkey to Europe, and Europeans started calling the birds turkey-cocks or turkey-hens due to the trade route. So, when Europeans first sailed to North America and discovered birds that looked like guinea fowl, they called them "turkeys."
It makes sense but I had no idea. And I’m glad to learn it today here on Fun Fact Friday. Have a great Final Week Of April!
