Pine cones are moisture sensitive...it will close its scales to protect itself from rain before the rain falls. Simply hang up a cone outside, and you can observe it.

Sometimes, I feel that the air pressure is "squeezing" me from all sides, and when I look out the window, the weather sometimes does change.

I know my hair can! haha! Let us know how the popcorn tastes...:) Also - you should look into posting your photos on one of the various on-line photo places, that way you can give us the website, and we can all go look at them (if you feel comfortable with that!) I know there's several of them out there where you can make a photo album and then give visitors a website to look at. Yes Thomas, I think we humans can “feel the weather” coming.

More weather? Thunder storms are rolling through my area, but so far I am on the fringe of any really bad weather. What’s going on today? More weather?

I have horses, and I have found that that the thickness of their coats does seem to give me a good idea of winter. I do not bank on it, but............

When I came on shift last night, it was very warm when I came on, and the two guys I work with ask if my ears felt like they had pressure on them. They both did, and I did notice that my sinuses had pressure. One of the guys said there must a change in the weather. Well, this morning at sunrise I went outside and the weather HAD changed! It was breezy and cool to the point of being almost cold! It felt great! Like a fall day back home. Everyone was commenting on it as they got up. Tonight, we have all the windows and doors open and giving the A/C a break. Our bodies knew the change was coming, so I have no doubt that some animals are very keen on changes way in advance. My popcorn popper came today! So when I finish this comment, I'm gong to pop my very fist bowl. I'm so looking forward to sme REAL popcorn. :-) Oh, weather in Camp Speicher, Iraq for today: Now, 66 degrees and clear, High of 97, clear with a chance of some dust storms.
