    7 A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning. A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight
    8 A dry May and a drop in June
    makes the farmer whistle a merry tune
    9 All the months of he year curse a fair February
    10 A bushel of March wind is worth a bushel of gold
    11 At twelve o'clock at Lamas all the dogs bark there are new potatoes.
    12 A mackerel sky never stays two days dry
    13 If it rains on Saint Swithen's Day it will rain for forty days.

    It is named so because there is exactly an acre of ground in it.

    (3) The river field
    It is named so because there is a river flowing at the foot of it.
