Every New Year’s Eve I used to purchase two Old Farmer’s Almanacs–one for me, and one for Mama.
Trust me when I tell you that the Almanac is a useful little resource.
I like reading about the Moon phases and associated folklore.
It even gives a long-term weather forecast based on geographic location.
What the hell, it couldn’t be any less accurate than the dude on TV who pretends to know where the newest storm is headed.
I’ve learned a number of things by reading the Almanac; some useful, some trivial but all of it very interesting.
Just so you know, you don’t have to purchase it in the store, you can find it online right here.
Let me warn you though…it can be addictive 🙂
Love and light to you all!

Sounds interesting. Don’t want to get addicted, so I will not poke around!!!

Hiya G.! Thanks for the lil reminder re the ol’ Farmer’s Almanac. Used to get it (from where?? I forget! Library?) and read it. Fun trivia facts ‘n’ fancies. Didn’t know it was online! Storing knowledge away for when I have free time! ❤

My mother and my grandmother loved the Almanac. They took it to heart when it came to the weather report.

Whoa! I haven’t seen an Almanac in many years. I didn’t even know they still printed it.

LOL! Yep, I’ve found them at Walmart and Sam’s. I think I’ve also seen them at Barnes and Noble as well.
I love to have books that I can hold in my hand but the online version will do in a pinch 🙂
