You may have heard the saying “If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.” But where does this come from?  According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of March was bad (roaring, like a roaring lion), the month should...

The Month of June!

School is out.  Gardens are planted.  The weather is nice; not hot and muggy as July and August will be (well maybe…. after all we are in the Ohio Valley).  Vacations are happening.  Flowers are planted and are in abundance on people’s porches and in their yards.  Lawns are being mowed (ahhh…. who doesn’t love...

The Month of May

I made a quick stop this week at the Marshall County Co-op, and I noticed that there was just something special in the air that felt so good…… The day was sunny and bright and a little warm.  Gone were the cloudy grey skies, replaced by a gorgeous yellow sun.  Employees of the Co-op were...
