Shadow or not, animal weather prediction aside, what does the Farmers' Almanac predict for the month of February? Is February going to be the month for snow and cold temperatures as suggested by many rumors weÌve been hearing?

A Place to Love

Finding the lifestyle one couple dreamed of meant gambling on an old farmstead.
Click here to read their story and find out how you too can find the same quiet, rural lifestyle they craved.

Don't peck a woman on the forehead or the end of the nose, or jerk at her bonnet strings in haste to get through.

Do take the left of the hand of the young lady in your right; let go of your hat, just let it drop.

Throw your left hand over the lady's shoulder and let it fall down to her waist.

Draw her gently and lovingly to your heart.

Don't be in a hurry. Her left hand is in your right... clasp it firmly, gently, and with thought and respect.

Don't be in a hurry. Her head lies on your shoulder.

Look into her half-closed eyes. Lean forward with your head, not your body.

Take a good aim... the lips meet... the eyes close... the heart opens...

And once again, don't be in a hurry!

The heart forgets all bitterness, and the imcomparable art of kissing is learned!
