One should look for grass in April on the top of an oak, because grass seldom springs well before the oak puts forth its leaves.
Fine warm weather from Easter to Whitsuntide produces much grass and cheap butter.
As the weather is on Ascension Day, so will it be the entire autumn.
If it rains on Good Friday and Easter Day,
There'll be plenty of grass and a little good hay.
There'll be plenty of grass and a little good hay.
April and May between them make bread for all the year.
April rains for men : May for beasts."
Hewett 1900
