Spring is here and it's time to plant, toil in the soil and get ready to harvest in the summer and fall. But We must first adhere to these old sayings, wives'-tales, and or superstitions.
Over the past holiday weekend, my wife asked me if I was going to eat watermelon before the 4th of July, and she followed it up with "you know what they say about eating watermelon before the 4th?"
What is a superstition? Basically, it's the belief that one event or circumstance leads to the cause of another. These two events are linked with no known process or reason. I've heard of pro athletes that stopped shaving during a winning streak. There's also the popular belief that it's bad luck if a black cat crosses your path.
