- SIGNS OF GOOD WEATHER.
The sky looks a clear colour with white fleecy clouds. The colour of the sun has a pure golden colour when setting. A fog on a Summer's morning. Mountains seen far away, and the colour of them blue. Birds flying high.
SIGNS OF RAIN.
The clouds look black. Wind from the south. A rainbow in the sky. The colour of the sun, pale when setting. A circle arround the moon at night. Whirlwinds on the road. Whistle in the wind. Mountains far away seem near. The swallow flies low. Dogs eating grass. Crickets sing loudly. The frog changes his coat. The pemper-nell closes up.
SIGNS OF FROST
Wind from the north. Sound of the train heard a long distance away. Sun setting red.
Signs of Snow.
Harsh wind from the north.(continues on next page)
