Today, I'm looking out the window and watching the rain pour down while sun shines brightly. I was reminded of an old saying I heard from the time I was young that rain on a sunny day meant the devil was beating his wife.
After a little bit of googling, I found that there are lots of names for this phenomenon... a monkey's wedding, a jackal's wedding, the devil's wedding, rats getting married, foxes getting married, bears getting married, or a monkey's birthday.
Who knew? Hope you have a little rain over your way today!

I never heard any of those sayings, but I have seen this many times since moving to the south. When stationed in Pensacola, FL I used to garden in my swimsuit on days like that. Thanks for sharing this!
