Genice Marcum: Persimmon seed kernel predicts heavy snows Things People Need to Know: - Genice Leftwich Marcum, a descendant of Adair County Crocus Creek writer Joe Turner, is always spotting news, especially that of a serious nature which comes from Mother Earth. This year is no different as she spotted news in Edmonton that predicts heavy snows this winter by examining the inner personality of a persimmon seed. By Jane Todd Marcum Our Mama Has Still Got It. Geniece Leftwich Marcum was born into a family of writers and has always had a keen eye for newsworthy moments. She honed her skills into her own unique style of writing in the many years she worked for the Edmonton Herald News and the Clay Statesman in Celina, TN, eventually becoming the owner/publisher of Senior Quest Magazine and the author of her own book, The Best of Senior Quest. Our mother's talent for bringing human interest stories to life through words on the page before us is well remembered and is still requested. She points out story and photo ideas to her daughters on a daily basis. Today was no different as Geniece took great delight in getting the chance to inspect the inside of a persimmon seed with her friend Debby Holly at Metcalfe County Adult Day Care Center. "People still need to know these things," she said as she asked Lisa Ann England Hammer to forward these photos "on to the house" so we could write a cutline for them and share them with readers. According to the Farmers Almanac, if you cut open a persimmon seed (best if a ripe one), the shape inside the kernel will tell you the type of winter coming. A spoon shaped (or shovel shaped) kernel, which this seed she explored today happened to be, then lots of heavy, wet snow will be coming. If it's shaped like a fork then the snow will be powdery and a mild winter can be expected. Watch out for knife shaped kernels because that means we will be cut by "icy cutting winds". My sister Linda Marcum Waggener and I are truly blessed these days to have our mom out there stopping to smell the roses, cut the persimmon seeds and keeping us grounded. Thanks mom! Although I'm putting this into print as of now, mom says it still may need a thing or two. So, look for updates!! --JTM This story was posted on 2015-10-17 07:02:04
