The alarm buzzes at six o'clock. I hear the pitter-patter of rain and my mother's voice in my head, "If it rains before seven, it will clear before eleven." I predict my soccer game will not be cancelled. Mother's weather proverbs continue to race through my head, so I open my digital diary and type.

Mother's Weather Proverbs
*Rain foretold, long last. Short notice, soon will pass.
*When clouds appear like towers, the Earth is refreshed by frequent showers.
*Rain from the south prevents the drought, but rain from the west is always best.
*When the rooster goes crowing to bed, he will rise with a watery head.
*If the bull leads the cows to pasture, expect rain; if the cows precede the bull, the weather will be uncertain.
*When rabbits are fat in October and November, expect a long, cold winter.
I had always thought Mother's proverbs were silly. As I dress in my uniform, I realize the accuracy of Mother's weather advice. I decide to continue recording the proverbs to share with my own children someday.
