The grass and the rain,

Have you ever heard of people referring to their life being so dull that they say that they are watching the grass grow. Well if they are doing that they must be up all night because grass only grows at night.


I organize and manage a lot of estate sales and art shows and I am always worried about what the weather is going to do if some of my items have to be outside. One little thing that I have learned to listen for is birds singing. About 15 minutes after a heavy rain the birds start to sing and that usually means that the rain is over. At times I have noticed a few spotty showers but never a major down pour after the birds have been out singing their songs. Come to find out Native American Indians also used this technique to tell when the heavy rains were over for the day.
