Today we celebrate Saint Simon
and Saint Jude, Apostles. The
traditions of the day can be found here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Weather:
Simon and Jude is almost
certain to be rainy (and that is for
certain today for many of us along the East Coast. There is an unwelcome and very messy visitor named Sandy on
her way)
There is oft times a tempest
on St. Jude. (Well, this time it is the beginnings of a tempest)
Winter comes on the day of
St. Simon and St. Jude.
If it doesn’t rain on SS.
Simon and Jude, it won’t rain until Saint Cecilia’s day (Nov 22) (That’s
knocked right out. Stand by for le
deluge. We should get enough to
last us until St. Cecilia)

And this being the fourth
Sunday in October, it is Mother-in-Law Day.
