Wednesday Wives Tales~Persimmon Seeds

I finally got around to going out to scrounge for some persimmons. I think the 'possums must have eaten all of ours. Or the dogs. It's always a contest to see who or what creature can get there first. I went out early this morning in the rain and found~ONE persimmon.

If you cut open your persimmon seeds and see the shape of a fork, then you will have a nice, easy winter. A spoon and there will be lots of snow to shovel. A knife~cutting cold.

Our neighbors have reported spoons in their persimmon seeds and that is what we are calling the shape we found in ours. They are not as defined as usual, but there is definitely the little 'cup' part of a spoon. So, lots of snow for us! We had spoons in them last year and there was plenty of snow.

Have you seen any 'signs' about the coming winter?

A Week of Scary Fun!

Next week, the Pilgrims and Indian (I only have one), come out, along with the corn husk turkey to get us in the Thanksgiving mood. But this week is a week of creepy fun around our house.

One of the things we love to do is watch old classic-type horror movies. None of this modern blood and guts slasher kind of stuff for us. Just give us Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, or Lon Chaney, Jr. and we are ready to watch!

A movie we'll be sure to watch is House on Haunted Hill~a little creepy, but with plenty of laugh out loud moments. If you watch, check out the old housekeeper. Don't you think she's being pushed around on an old upright vacuum cleaner??
