Proof is in the freezer- always a mess to catch on minnows along a sandy bank when the red bud trees are blooming! #redneck #outdoors #countrylife #louisiana #fishing #spring #springtime
Or , it could be " A Summer Song " by Chad and Jeremy .... listen .. it will soothe your heart and stir up an old memory .. I promise. 'Have a good one .
Words of my late father , one of my absolute favorites "nobody ever learned a damn thing when they were talking” interpretation: "shut your mouth and listen and watch"
@@guaporeturns9472 Thank you, I learned a lot from your reply :) ! And what I learned is that you proved my point exactly, 100%, it couldn't have been more simple and easy for this interaction to have occurred, and for you to have proven my point so well. All simply because you took what I said, and was insulted by it, because your ego and pride for your father was insulted. I'm sure your father is/was a great man, though.
My grandma always planted her potatoes on Good Friday , no matter if it was warm or snowing . Said it was an ancient Indian trick , she always had a bumper crop .
@@pendlera2959 Alright already , " ancient " may have been pushing it a little , but considering that Grandma was born in 1876 , and her Grandmother was born in 1800 that wasn't just yesterday . Also genius , the Indians planted by the signs , such as the phases of the moon and stars . They may not have known the name given to that phase , but they were certainly aware of it .
@@jamesfrederick99 by the time my dad was old enough to help with the planting they were living in Aurora . The potatoes always were planted on Good Friday , as it has to do with the phase of the moon .
I was told about the "three winters" by my parents years ago: Redbud winter, Dogwood winter, and Blackberry winter. When each blooms, you can count on a cold snap. It's amazing to me how many people are caught off guard every spring year after year. Nature will tell you a lot about the weather if you know what to look for.
We saw blackberry, or dewberry?(Not sure which they are, just that they are unfortunately not good at all--I think they get too much water) blooms visible Monday, right before it dropped below freezing that night.
I have never seen them "winters" to be wrong ... ESPECIALLY Blackberry Winter. Not once in 73 years. But I thought all them "winters" was just a North Georgia thing. But then, the only time I ever saw the writtin' on the other side of the "Welcome To Dawson County" was when I went into the Army back in 19and70.
@@guaporeturns9472 after growing up hearing my dad say it, I found these ancient writings that seemed to say the same thing. These together made me think it must be true somewhere: Matthew 15:1Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 3and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.
@@guaporeturns9472 I never noticed it accurate either, but I’m not a sailor. People been saying it a long long time. That doesn’t make it true. I Noticed Jesus is quoting the people he is critical of right before he calls them hypocrites.Matthew 16:1Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 3and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
My grandmother born in 1890 always predicted snow by clouds moving in before a frost melted off the ground. She called it ‘“clouding up on a frost”. She was right most of the time. She also said red sky in the morning sailors take warning saying. My former employer was a fishing enthusiast. He always fished when the dogwoods were in bloom. I never see dogwoods begin to bloom that I don’t think fondly of him. He was a very nice man.
We grew up with- red touches yellow, kills a fellow, red touches black, venom lack… But we tended to listen to my mother who said,” get the hell away from that snake!”😂
I grew up where we saw a lot of Coral Snakes. My Mother killed her first snake at the clothesline. It was a Rattlesnake, but she didn’t know what it was.
When the White Perch would run up the Rappahanock River my Father and I would catch five gallon buckets of them just by tight line and multiple hooks with bloodworms as bait.Sometimes we would sit and build a fire and fish into darkness depending on when the tide was coming in.I have started seeing forsythia bloom and just the beginning of the redbuds but I have not fished for White Perch in a very long time.I liked your video though for it brought back fond memories.I am too old now to be sure of myself in an increasingly mean world.
I quoted this saying about a certain political figure on the internet once, and someone asked if I was advocating slavery. I was not. I just recognized that it fit this political figure particularly well, as he always has an overly inflated opinion of himself.
@@rhodawatkins4516 the elderly woman I was quoting used it in the same way. She said that strategy would have made her a multi millionaire. I laughed because I had never heard it before. A California transplant with all the right clothing posing as a cowboy horse expert was the subject of the woman’s comment.
A good friend and coworker of mine told me that when the Dogwood trees are blooming, the Crapies are biting. I think using this observation has worked pretty well for both of us.
My Grandmother always said "first snow 90 days from the first bloom of the Rose of Sharon". As an elementary school kid in the 60's, I kept a mental record of this. It was very accurate or within 3 days of 90.
Start planting corn when the leaves on oak trees are the size of squirrels ears, be done by the time oak leaves are the size of mules ears. Never failed!!
"My mother was raised by her mother who lived through the depression with 6 kids. They always said...."Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without". Drawers full of bread ties were a running joke in our family! No fancy zip ties, or spools of wire or garden bands. Yarn and old shoe/boot strings ALWAYS had other uses too. Even worn, stained bed linens got reused for shop rags till they shredded. Nothing gets thrown out unless there's zero chance it won't be reused somewhere else. Even then, 50% of the time it got donated in case some else had a use for it. I'm 53 and practice this form of waste not, want not......but I'm careful not to over keep. Cleaning out my mothers hoard was a stark warning...lol
“Wherever the Trillium are blooming, you’ll find morels at that elevation”. Pretty accurate. Lots of elevation change in the steep Cascades. They both start low and work their way up the mountains as it warms up.
My beloved Grandma would say , ' Well , I'll swan " Whatever the hell that means , I saw Chester on Gunsmoke say it once . I guess it's like , " Well , I'll be " .
In Texas, you can trust the Mesquites to tell you when the last freeze has hit, as someone who keeps plants that are not frost tolerant it is a great rule of thumb.
My dad taught me some old indian sayings that I have witnessed with about a 90-95% accuracy. One is that if you see a ring around the moon it's going to storm within 3 days.(turns out years later I heard the weatherman say that is a real,scientific thing and he explained it. very cool ) If it's in winter there will be a winter storm. If there are 2 rings ( I have seen this rarely in my 62 years) it's going to be a very bad storm. Another one is when you see all the cows in a field laying down, there's about to be a heavy storm with lots of lightning. When ants build their nests above ground there's going to be heavy rain.
In Mid West- Three more snows after the Forsythia bloom. I have taken notice for yrs. It’s very accurate. Sometimes it’s just flurries and I do count that as a snow.
Here in north Alabama, when the dogwoods bloom, the crappie starts biting. Also don't mistake poison ivy for a smooth leaf to fill in for toilet paper😮
I believe it ! My ole man has been on Rayburn 7 times so far and 4 of those 7, him and his buddy limited out...and the other 3 days dang near limited out. What we've noticed from being together for almost 37 yrs...when the birds and squirrels are workin...the fish are too ! (My cajun hubby provides well...I'm waitin on those Hackberry shrimp 😉!)
@@bigtenor62 lol...now you may be on to something there...I've cooked shrimp many ways but never with a jam/jelly. Actually it's Hackberry, Louisiana...it's where my ole man has been going all his life to catch shrimp.
