- The sky is dark and cloudy when we are to have rain. The sun & moon are dark & the moon is encircled by rings. The stars twinkle (?) & the clouds move quickly during showery weather. The southern wind is supposed to bring most rain, generally a flood. Frost comes and it is followed by storm and rain. Dust is blown off the roads when we are to have rain (in summer). Bees & other winged creatures stay inside (?) in bad weather. When smoke is blown from the south rain is due. It is difficult to keep the fire lighting & the smoke is blown down the chimney then.
