Sayin's

S Mac

Sept. 10, 2021 Steve left us. You are missed.
Popper's recent post prompted my thoughts, how about some sayin's that come to mind. Plant peas on Valentine's day, patatoes on St. Patrick's day, corn when the oak leaves are the size of a squirrels ear kind of thing. I love them.

Walleyes bite best when the Lilacs bloom.

(True too, at least for the spring run up the Detroit River and Western Basin of Lake Erie.)

Go fishn just before a storm. Always wear clean undies when driving. Cut roses back just before a freeze. DIdn't get it done this year.

Having spent way to much time staring at water with a bow in my hand I can say you shoot carp in the spring when the Rock River floods the lower farm fields and you see the females (the larger gender) backs above the water surrounded by the smaller males.

From farmers in Minnesota,
"6 months (to the Day) after the first thunderstorm with Lightening, will come the first Freeze."

My sons friend the other day said "Rhyme or Rhythm", I said, "No, its rhyme or reason".

Busier than a one armed paper hanger. Busier than a cat trying to cover crap on a hot tin roof. It’s raining like a race horse peeing a flat rock. My favorite: uglier than 10 days of sin.

My paternal Grandpa was a farmer, blacksmith, harness maker and repairer, horse trader and dealer, horse puller, finally got his first tractor in 1952, so he knew his horses. His sayin' was, "There's more horse's asses in the world than there are horses."

My Mother used to say when she wanted me to go fetch something for her:

Can you go get that who's it that goes to the thing-a-gig over by the what's it.

She had a couple of other little mini word twistings that I can't remember just yet, but she would often run these's little sayings together in a seemingly random order from time to time. I believe she just liked to mess with us.
