Old Sayings

Don’t ya love old sayings?  My grandmother had a saying for any occasion, season or illness.  As a child, I thought she was just a bit off her rocker but as an adult I have discovered these sayings have much truth to them.  Check out some of her sayings about the fall:

·         If the October moon comes without frost- expect no frost till the moon of November.

·         When cows are lying down in a field- rain is on its way.

·         If the squirrel’s tail is very bushy or they are collecting big stores of nuts in autumn- a

             severe winter in on the way.

·         If the Pyracantha is loaded with red berries- expect a long winter

·         Matthew 16:2-3 - When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather: for the sky is red.

So watch the environment and see if you notice these truths about weather’s harmony with nature!
