It´s filled with old practical information mostly for farmers when to plow the fields and such things.<br /><br />The climat has been warmer especially in winter, not so much in summer though. They say that we are getting a lot more rain nowdays too. This July it rained three times as much as usual in a big part of the country. But spring were on the other hand much dryer.<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-36624035248426516142009-09-11T11:28:21.109-05:002009-09-11T11:28:21.109-05:00Hey Christer...

Wasn't there one about cows in a field? If they're all lying down, it's going to rain?<br /><br />You can also find the Almanac at Publix, of all places! Right in the magazine rack, the original Old Farmer's Almanac. <br /><br />I hope you have a good one, sir.<br /><br />Shade and Sweetwater,<br />KKyddrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668797984157146798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-25571032213072285532009-09-11T01:03:24.845-05:002009-09-11T01:03:24.845-05:00Hey Felinae...
