weather Lore
When the distant hills look near it is a sign of rain.
When he cat sits with his back to the fire it is a sign of rain.
When the cat washes his face beside the fire it is a sign of rain.
When the soot falls it is a sign of rain.
If a crane flies towards the source of a river it is a sign of good weather.
When the swallows fly from under the eaves it is a sign of rain.
When the smoke goes up straight from a chimney it is a sign of good weather.
When there is a circle round the moon it is a sign rain.
