Which will you be this weekend?

With Indian Summer-like weather coming up this weekend into early next week, something to consider:

Paraphrased from Wikipedia-

The Ant and the Grasshopper is a fable attributed to Aesop (620-560 BC), providing a moral lesson about hard work and preparation. In the numbering system established for Aesopic fables by B. E. Perry, it is number 373 [that’s a lot of fables, even if it’s the last].

The fable concerns a grasshopper who has spent the good weather times relaxed and enjoying while the ant worked to get ready for winter. When winter arrives, the grasshopper finds itself unprepared, and upon asking the ant for help, is only rebuked for its idleness.

This fable is also referred to in the Old Testament’s Book of Proverbs 6:6-9, which admonishes, "Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise.”

If you have all your outdoor winterization chores done, the next several fine weather days you can be Aesop’s fabled grasshopper; if not… be the ant!
