That's a wonderful photo!<br /><br />Thank you for stopping in at Cranberry Morning. I see that you like books about the Amish. You might enjoy this <a href="http://cranberrymorning.blogspot.com/2013/10/having-amish-for-dinner.html" rel="nofollow">Amish post </a> - and other posts that have to do with the Amish, including the barn raisin' we went to. There are a lot of Amish in Wisconsin.<br /><br />I think I'm going to purchase a copy of Farmer's Almanac!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772653330643900508.post-18629278795296000472014-02-24T17:49:20.980-08:002014-02-24T17:49:20.980-08:00Oh I love this Brenda.

I'm afraid this year like a lot of the later years it's iffy to put them in the ground. The seasons sure have changed. That Farmer's Almanac was the key to the signs. Great post. I love all of your poems.Susie Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052734156809316397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772653330643900508.post-45577687442184926472014-02-24T15:39:37.805-08:002014-02-24T15:39:37.805-08:00Memories are stirred with this one, Brenda.
