  1. When the wind blows from the South the weather will be wet.
    When the sun goes down red in the evening the next day will be fine.
    A circle round the moon is a sign of rain.
    The stars glistening is a sign of frost.
    A rainbow is a sign that God will never destroy the earth with a flood again.

    The cricket singing in the hearth.
    And a blue blaze is in the fire.
    The dog eating grass is another sign of rain
