April showers bring May flowers.
Welcome April!
Our new month continues in our Almanac with this lovely illustration of our mom and dad walking in the rain.
Around here we don't use umbrellas typically. The rain comes in sideways most days so wearing a hoodie and running for your life is more our way of dealing with the rainy weather.
Get Fishing Worms the Easy Way
"You may not give much credence to the old saying that you can catch a bird by putting salt on its tail, but have you heard that you can catch fishing worms by using another staple from your kitchen shelves - dry mustard."
Today is April Fools Day!
Even though it is a mischievous holiday, it has nothing to do with this tip for the day.
Stir a tablespoon of dry mustard into two cups of water. Go outside and check for worm holes. You can find earthworm holes by looking for the earthworm castings. These are tiny balls of soil cast above the surface of the ground by the worms.
Pour about a teaspoon of the mustard water down the hole. The earthworm will try to escape the burning mustard by coming out. Catch your worm and put in a container with some dirt.
Keep your wormy bait for your next fishing trip.
You have to hand it to our Homemaker Heroine.

I might just give my kids some cheese for fishing bait can call it even.
