"Cielo a pecorelle, acqua a catinelle"This typical Italian expression reads:
If you see fleecy sheep-shaped clouds in the sky, expect it to rain in sheets.
This photo does not portray the quintessential Italian cielo a pecorelle, but it's close. This is what the sky looked like yesterday. And I have my umbrella ready, just in in case.

Just gorgeous! So windy here today, and overcast. Kind of sleepy, non-motivational weather!
I like the saying, it is cute.
We have had big, fluffy ,white ones and loads of sunshine today. They are all gone now.xx♥
Great shot, Lola - I like the silvery linings on the clouds ~ Eddie

Absolutely stunning! And the Italians make everything more beautiful with their lovely turn of a phrase!!! Thanks for sharing it!!!! ~Janine XO
Beautiful shot. I am in love with the phrase. Overcast here in the desert...the slight breeze was delightful on my morning walk. Wishing you a lovely weekend, Deborah
Lovely pic. Wonder if it did rain after all? x
I love a good weather picture. this one is beautiful.
Very beautiful sweeping sky and a lovely blue.
Lola! it is raining here right now, a soft rain, an unexpected summer storm, how funny we are having the same weather...
xoxoxo ♥
It sounds much more poetic in Italian. Beautiful photo!
Thank you for your lovely comments, everyone!
It eventually only rained a total of 10 raindrops this afternoon here in Rome. The sheepy clouds continued to chace each other overhead, and I am counting them as I shift from desk to bed, finally. Good night and have a good weekend, my dear friends.
Lovely phrase brought back by you. Grazie per il ricordo.
Hi there..I love the dark trees framing the sky.. doing some quick catching up on Sky Watch and visiting your lovely blog as I have just returned...cheers.
Beautiful sky. And framed so well. Or does it frame us? I can't seem to get enough of the sky. Wish ours would open up and rumble!
Great picture.
After over a week of fantastic weather we have rain, and cold and wind, it feels more like winter out there.

Lovely sky, I don't think you need an umbrella though.
I thank you for sharing! :)
Beautiful and I am interested to learn Italian sayings.
