Permission Forecast

 My Persimmon tree is loaded.  Laura drove through Galla Meadow last week and carried a handful to school.  With the help of her students, she got three opened.  All were spoons.  Old saying—we’ll be shoveling snow this winter.  

Old Timers say if persimmons have a spoon, fork, or knife it tells something of the winter to come. A spoon predicts lots of snow to shovel, a knife means cold, cold that cuts like a knife and if they have a fork inside the winter will be mild.
