Farmers' Almanac Philosofacts

Part philosophy, part fact, Farmers' Almanac's Philosofacts are a collection of small bits of wit and wisdom that are often big on truth.

It doesn’t require many words to speak the truth.

Happiness held is the seed. Happiness shared is the flower.

Be kind to unkind people. They need it the most.

There is magic in the night when pumpkins glow by moonlight.

The best things in life aren’t things.

Weather Lore: Much fog in autumn, much snow in winter.

Weather Lore: When beech acorns thrive well and oak trees hang full, a hard winter will follow with much snow.

Weather Lore: The weather conditions for the three days of an Embertide (September 18, 20, 21) rule the weather for the next 3 months.

Make your vision so clear that your fears become irrelevant

Irish Proverb: Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is.

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 1919, 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.
