That's my husband's job. I think it has something to do with spring. I have no idea how my husband decides to plant anything. That’s my husband’s job. I think it has something to do with spring.

I thoroughly enjoyed your blog. I have a copy of one from the late 1800's and have used it in research for a book. There's so much interesting information in one. You and Mary made me laugh ... and with five of my grandkids plus one of their friends here at the moment, I need a laugh! Again, thanks for another great blog and I hope you and your sister have a grand time together. Big hugs, Phyliss Evening Linda, sorry I’m so late in getting into the conversation.

It just feels homey. My friend Nancy gives me a copy almost every year since it's my birthday Month. I never used it to predict anything, but it sure is an interesting read that has given me plot ideas and little tidbitty details. Hi Linda, oh I love this little book! It just feels homey.

It reads like your daily Astrology report. My planting in the spring comes from looking at my Black Locust trees. As soon as they give signs of budding, that is when I know there will be no more heavy frost. It works EVERY year. We have a short growing season and it pays off. Otherwise you plant when something else tells you and you get frozen out. My step-son showed me this event about 25 years ago and it has worked out well for us.

It never occurred to me that you could ideas for books from it. How neat! Now, I for sure am going to have to download it into my Kindle. Besides, I'm hoping and praying that it has a wet winter and lots of rain in the coming year. Have a great day! :-) Hi Margaret……..Glad you enjoyed reading about the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
