| Summary: | sheila n SHELIA'S BLUSH A few days ago (1973) I asked dad if he knew anything about Shelia or St. Shelia and he replied that he did. He said that on the twenty-first of March when the sun crosses the line if the day was bad (meaning bad weather), we were in for a bad spring. If the day was good, then there would be an early spring and the weather would be good. He said this was known as, 'Shelia's blush'. He could not however, explain who Shelia was or that she was in anyway related to St. Patrick.
