According to my Mudcat Almanac, the moss on the side of the moose indicates a long winter. Towards November, there are signs that the sun will be going down earlier every day, until round about the end of December. This is because it is being eaten by the Sumerian Goddess of the Underworld, Ereshkigal. Late December will see flurries of squirrels awakening out of season in many parts of the world, as the Squirrillennium coincides with the Millenium this year. January is expected to be windy, except underground, where it will be cold, but quiet. February is a leap month, when the track and field portion of the Olympics will start. March will be a good month for planting relatives who died in the wintertime. Be sure to stay away from pomegranate juice until April. Persephone ate 6 pomegranate seeds when she was abducted by Pluto, God of the Underworld, and must remain in Hell 6 months of the year, and that is why there is winter. You don't want to take any chances. In May, be sure and plant some of those new Monsanto seeds, and check out what develops!!
