Red Skies and Cooing Turtle Doves

Did you know that if you watch a sunrise and notice that the sunrise is red, it means rain? Did you also know that if you happen to hear the doves cooing in a pattern that sounds like they are saying, "Two, four, six, eight." it means rain?

Tuesday morning I helped my Amish neighbor Ely get his cucumbers to the produce auction (72 boxes of beautiful cukes!) and he told me that it looked like rain. Since the apple farmer had checked the weather forcast and it was nothing but sun for the rest of the week, I found his statement very interesting. He gave me the reasoning above and you will never guess what happened. It rained that very afternoon!
