Nature

Nature abhors a vacuum, so if you don't fill the garden bed with plants, weeds will quickly take over.

My grandfather was a farmer, and he always said that weather predictions like: a dry March, a wet April and a cool May fill barn and cellar and bring much hay still held true in determining a good harvest.

The hiker was tempted to leave her warm jacket behind on a sunny April day, but remembered the proverb do not cast a clout until May be out and decided to keep it with her just in case the weather changed.

The farmer was concerned about the dry weather in February, remembering the old proverb that if in February there be no rain, it is neither good for hay nor grain, and worried that his crops might not yield as much as he had hoped.

The farmer knew that as the day lengthens, so the cold strengthens, and he made sure to prepare his crops and livestock for the harsh winter ahead.

Despite the fact that the rain in April can be inconvenient, it is important to remember that April showers bring May flowers.
