This year is
the 200 edition of the Farmers’ Almanac.
Before
television the Farmers’ Almanac was the planting bible for many country
folks. It contained humor, helpful
hints, health advice, recipes, astrology, calendar, astronomy and weather.
A reminder
from the 2017 Almanac:
February 11
eclipse of the moon – visible mainly in Canada and the Northeast.
August 21
total eclipse of the Sun. For the first
time in four decades the eclipse will sweep across the contiguous United
States.
