"The Final Say: Discerning the Face of the Sky" by Monty Gilmer

THE FINAL SAY: DISCERNING THE FACE OF THE SKY
by Monty Gilmer

To the memory of my father
Hugh M. Gilmer (1914-2006),
who was a farmer


     Jesus said, "When it is evening, ye say, 'It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.' And in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering'" (The Bible: Matthew 16:2-3, King James Version).
     An anonymous, old weather rhyme reads:

     Evening red and morning gray
     Are the signs of a bonny day.
     Evening gray and morning red
     Bring down rain on the farmer's head.
