Remember the Farmers’ Almanac? Of course, you might read it relilgiously even today, but for most people, it’s a forgotten vestige of the past. I used to read it at my grandparents’ farm in Kentucky as a child. They were farmers — mostly tobacco and corn — with a few pigs and chickens thrown in for luck (or dinner!) as it were. I didn’t much like the chickens, but I loved feeding the pigs. I have great memories of the farm, now long gone.
Well, here’s what the current Farmers’ Almanac has to say about our bizarre weather these days: Notice the repetition of the words scattered thunderstorms and “squally.” That pretty much covers it for us here in Central Texas lately!

Hi Diana, thanks for stopping by my blog and your comment. I was kind of tickled reading your profile and hats off to you – a 4 year old and a 23 yr old. My twins are 24 – but I could not imagine a little one running around here, even though they are fun. I will enjoy my nephews I guess. 🙂 I love reading the Farmer’s Almanac online, even subscribed to their newsletter. I think I will add you to my links. That way I won’t forget to stop by. Take care, Andrea P.S: I know where Trier is. :-)Same State I am from – Rheinland Pfalz.
