Poem
Granny said there’s signs from nature we’ll get, and it would behoove us not to forget. You’d best listen when she threw out her words, because she knew the ways of critters and birds. She knew how to read the nature she’d see, more accurate than some guy on TV. She could tell if it was fixin’ to rain, if we’d have hard winter or early spring. Things like how an Ozark persimmon’s seed, will tell if it’s a snow shovel you’ll need. When autumn’s squirrels up and disappear, then old man winter will be coming near. If the air’s heavy and you’re feeling low, more than likely a storm’s going to show. But if the air is crisp and full of light, then you better be out hunting tonight. When there’s a misty ring around the moon, tulips and pimpernel close up their bloom. If the flowers have cranked up their smell, rain is on the way is what these foretell. If a rainbow rises high in the east, then that means the chance of rain is the least. But when it shows its face low in the west, that’s when any chance of rain is the best. See a Red sky at night, sailors delight, red sky of morning, sailor take warning. If the sheep are gathered in a huddle, then you’ll be stepping into a puddle. When leaves fall early winter will be mild, when leaves fall later winter will be wild. If leaves wither but don’t fall to the ground, an extra cold winter will hang around. If roosters start molting before the hen, can look for a winter that’s mild and thin. If the hen starts molting before the cock, then prepare for a freeze hard as a rock.
