Very good! Either a mackerel sky or a buttermilk sky, I'm not sure of the difference.
I confess I;ve never heard of a buttermilk sky and I have absolutely no idea where the name "mackerel" sky came from.

When one has lived quite a few years and enjoys garnering a little knowledge here and there, it's surprising what information the brain retains. I just thank my lucky stars that this old brain still has the ability to dig up facts from the dim and distant recesses!!!
