summertime showers

[aletatela]

Warm rain is pouring out of the clouds overhead, while the sun shines out of another corner of the sky. "The devil is beating his wife," as the saying goes. I love summertime showers.

We really, really need the rain. We've been in a drought, and every drop is welcome right now.

Devil's etc.

"The devil is beating his wife." I have actually never heard that - but I love the phrase. Is that a Southern expression?

Ack, sorry I never answered before now. I think the answer is yes, it's a Southern expression, but I don't really know its origin. It was just something I always heard...
