Farmer’s Almanac NULL
Annual North American periodical in continuous publication since 1818 famous for its long-range weather predictions and astronomical data, as well as its trademark blend of humor, trivia, and advice on gardening, cooking, fishing, and human-interest crusades. Conservation, sustainable living, and simplicity are core values of the publication and its editors, and these themes are heavily promoted in every edition.
"In youth the absence of pleasure is pain; in old age the absence of pain is pleasure."
"Zeal, not rightly directed, is pernicious; for as it makes a good cause better, so it makes a bad cause worse."
"To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer. Those who are serious in ridiculous matters will be ridiculous in serious matters."
"Flurries early, pristine and pearly. Winter's come calling! Can we endure so premature a falling? Some may find this trend distressing- others bend to say a blessing over sage and onion dressing"
