- Black clouds in the sky.
A ring around the sun
Hens picking themselves.
A weasel crossing the road.
A cat with her tail to the fire.
A cat scraping wood.
A dog eating grass.
Mist on the moon
Far away ring round the moon.
Goats’ hair in the sky.
The wind whistling in the keyhole
Soot falling down the chimney
Ants flying about
Ducks flapping their wings.
Mist on the mountains.
Cattle running for shelter.
A blow down in the chimney.
A sick person getting worse.
The wind drifting South.
Birds flying low.
The ground covered with spider’s webs.
Frost for three nights.
A swollen sea.
Crows flying low or against the wind.
A clear air.
