PRINTNew Jersey – Winter Wonderland
I spent a few days in Key West Florida last week. It was my first vacation in many years and first time in the Keys. Between snorkeling, the Harry Truman Winter White House, Hemmingway Home and lots of sunshine, it was relaxing. Temps were a comfortable 80 degrees days/ 60s at night. Returned to Maine and it is freezing. But, today, Sandi Duncan, Managing Editor, sent me this photo from her yard. Let’s put Global Warming on the back burner – at least for today. Sandi reports 6 inches of snow which will most likely melt, but we are seeing signs of winter. Nothing says winter like snow on the ground. Enjoy. Maine may get some tomorrow. We call for wet (rain/ snow) for Thanksgiving in the Northeast.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
