hosted by TishaMy mom used to call these little patches of blue sky "just enough to make a Dutch boy's pants." I have no idea where that saying came from. Do you?

I've never heard that expression before. Hmmm. I'm not sure I understand what it means. However, I like the sky with just a bit of blue.
This is a beautiful capture. Thanks so much for sharing. As for the saying, I've never heard of it either. But, I'm sure it has meaning.
Happy Friday! Thanks for playing.

I have no idea where the saying comes from; but I am going to have to figure out before I can rest, now. Beautiful photo of the sky though.

Dutch Boy paints used to be a really big brand - could it have started there?
pretty sky
Like Dianne, I wonder about the old paint company and if the multiple colors come prom the color samples cards? What ever the saying, this sky is not merely gray, but a large grouping of grays, several shade we see. A cloudy sky is a pretty as a blue sky!
No idea!!! But it makes a lovely picture!
Here's the original Dutch Boy Paints logo.

I think those pants may be what that expression refers to.
