To Every Season
Every season has its weather, and every season also has its
Ember Days for predicting the weather According to old
folklore,'the weather on each of the three Ember Days
foretells the weather for three successive months Originally
set aside by the church for fasting and prayer, the Ember
Days are the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday following the
first Sunday in Lent, Whit Sunday (or Pentecost), the third
Sunday in September, and the third Sunday in Advent With
Lent beginning on February 24, this season’s Ember Days are
March 3,5. and 6 If the tradition is upheld, the weather on
March 3 will forecast the overall weather for April, while the
fifth and sixth will predict for May and June
Some rain, some rest;
Fine weather isn’t always best.
ns- Tc quickly sharpen dull scissors, cut up sandpaper or
steel-wool pads.

Save energy and money by
cooking small to moderate
amounts of food in a
microwave Cooking a casse
role m a microwave costs five
limes less than m an conven
tional electric oven You can
save when cooking larger
items by preheating the oven
for only 10 minutes, and turn
ing off the heat 15 minutes
before the required time The
oven will maintain enough
heat to finish cooking, and
less energy
will be
used 1
