@WillaKissing Cherokees say that the darker the woolie worm the harsher the winter, a pale woolie worm indicates a mild winter and alternating stripes means periods of cold and then mild. Now wild persimmon seeds split in half either have a knife, a fork or a spoon in the center. A spoon-shape is supposed to indicate that a shovel will be needed for snow, a fork indicate that there will be periods of light snow, and a knife mean that there will be no accumulation of snow.
@WillaKissing Ok. Didn't know if there was a certain way to know which one you get without searching for caterpillars hehe. Probably either of the second to last ones on the ends. I just don't like it cold near my birthday.
@meggie I own a farm and the mild winters have led to a heavier than normal Tic, and pest bug species that a cold winter would help curtail, so number one for me.
@WillaKissing i hope you get it then as some of you farmers have suffered so much with climate change. We had a good summer in the UK this year so my fruit and vegetables did very well. Surprisingly though with such a hot summer we had little bugs and pests.
@meggie Thank you. High heat and an excessive amount of rain left a lot of communities with washed out roads, towns, and no power. I live on a very hilly and forested hardwood timber farm, so I was lucky with my generator and solar panels. But lost several nice trees on hilly slopes to high wind and rain, that became firewood.
