YOU CAN COUNT ON "THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC."

Thomas published the first Farmer's Almanac in 1792, dated for 1793, and almanacs have been dated a year ahead ever since. Pull up a chair at our oak bench with us, the almanac open, a few golden onions to peel and a cup of tea going cold. Read the whole story in the letter at the link.
