love this book

I can't tell you how much forgotten wisdom I got out of this book. Not for everyone mind you. My mother used to say "Red at night sailors delight, red in the morning sailor take warning". She was from the sea side but had many strange little rhymes about the weather and it made it easy as a kid to remember them all. This one and many more are in the book and now I'm teaching my kids them. Also some great gardening tips. Some of which I knew from my husband's Native background
