So, I volunteered to help run this challenge just Tuesday morning.  I thought, “Why not make this challenge in alignment with what ever month July is national “____” month. So, I researched it. I found that there are 15 designations, but 9 of them have to do with food.
 
July is National
                                  Baked Bean Month

active rain challenge: January 2021 AR challenge - ADUs - 01/23/21 12:58 PM
Okay, so I am catching up on my zoomcalifrgi, my zommicalregil, my Active Rain challenge for January 2021. First off, ever since getting “back into the rain”, I have found all of these calls helpful. One way or another, I have benefitted from each week.
