- (continued from previous page)There'll be nothing but sludge and muck. When oak trees bend with snow in January - good crops may be expected. A January Spring is worth nothing. On Candlemas Day throw a candle away. If February brings no rain There'll be neither hay nor grain. A dry March never begsits bread. Marcy many weathers rained and blowed, But March grass never did good. A wet March makes a bad harvest. If apples bloom in March you may search for apples. Every other day from Saint Brigid's Day is fine. Every day from Saint Patrick's Day is fine. On New Year's Day daylight lengthens as far as a cockscrow carries. All the months in the year will curse a fair February.
