Devil Is Beating His Wife

Ever heard of that saying? I learned it when I was a little kid because I was amazed that it was raining and sun shining at the same time. That is what is happening in my part of the earth. Another thing that I always loved is driving through a rain and its tiny, with one dark cloud, and sun shine on both sides that you could actually see. I have yet to capture that on film but hope to one day, with a dash cam, of coarse. No outside work for me so I will make blackberry jelly this afternoon. What y`all doing?

@andriaperry cooking, reading, the gym. I'm trying to use up leftovers, today is my day off from the gym, and I finished the book I was reading about an hour ago. Now I'm looking through cookbooks.

I have never heard the saying to describe what we call a sun shower. We actually had a sun shower a couple of days ago. We had no idea where the rain was coming from.

@andriaperry I remember when I was a teenager I went to Florida with my sister and her kids. We were driving on a highway where it was raining on one side of the road but not the other.

Hmm. I have to say I have never heard that saying before. Either way, at the time of this writing I am at work working...well, and sneaking in a little MyLot as well of course. Don't tell my boss.

We never actually had a name for it where I am from. I didn't learn 'The devil is beating his wife' until my 20s. It looks like I am supposed to get storms where I am later tonight.

@andriaperry Apparently I am in for more too. I enjoy rainy days. I am not really fond of lightning though.

@andriaperry We only have to watch for the pop up showers today. But some of those can be nasty storms.

We used to call it a 'sunshine shower'. I haven't seen one for a while. I haven't heard of the 'devil beating his wife' bit.

That's right, when the sun is shining and it's raining the devil is beating his wife. I've heard that all my life so it must be true.

In the Philippines, we have this saying that there's a wedding happening between a creature called "Tikbalang"(half human/half horse) when the sun shines while it rains.
