I visited my mom last weekend. When I walked in her home I noticed she had a bowl full of Presimmons. I immediately opened one and started drying out the seeds. An old wives tale is that you can predict the severity of the winter by the shape inside the seed. I did the same prediction last year . {It was not very accurate.} I cut open several seeds. They all had the same shape. A spoon. According to the wives tale, that means we are going to have lots of snow. Snow! It is not very scientific. But it sure is a lot of fun!
