- (continued from previous page)morning and comes back again it is the sign of a bad day.If ants are on the road it is the sign of rain.When smoke goes up straight out of the chimney it is the sign of rain.When soot falls down the chimney it is the sign of rain.If the stars are twinkling brightly it is the sign of frost.When it is going to rain in Summer the midgets in the evening are in swarms everywhere.The bumble-bee humming in the evening is the sign of fine weather.If the cuckoo calls on a tree without leaves in other words if she comes early it is the sign of bad crops and provision high as the old proverb says, Má labhrann an chuach ar bhláth gan duilleabhar díol do bhó agus cheannuigh arbhar.
