Status Updates From The Old Farmer's Almanac 20...

This and the previous page may be the most useful of the book. The apparent errors in the monthly calendar negate a disappointingly large portion of the material.

There appears to be an error in the lunar astrology calendar. Based on other calculations, the moon shouldn't have been in Virgo for 4 days from May 16-19. So the rest of the calendar is off by 2 days for the rest of the year until July 12, when a further 2 xtra days of Virgo are listed, making it 4 days behind. Otherwise, interesting info/system to overcome sense of arbitrariness in planting/harvest/etc.

Flakes alive! Spring's arrived! Or is this warmth illusion? Snow and rain, then mild again— chaos and confusion! Showers cool our vernal ardor. Planting peas? Just a tease! Raining harder! Mellow— forsythia's yellow.
