- Signs of rain
The cows lie down when they are let out in the morning.
There is a circle round the moon.
The cat turns his back to the fire.
The wind rises the dust off the road.
The cricket sings sharply.
The sun looks pale when setting.
Soot falls down the chimney.
The swallows fly low.
When there is a fog coming down Commounbeg[?]
in morning.
Wild geese come from the East to the West.
There is a rainbow in the morning.
Midges are very busy.
Signs of fine weather
The smoke goes up straight the chimneys.
Swallows fly high.
The hills look far away.
All springs open.
The soot falls out far on the hearth.
The ciaróg creeps along the ground
The sky is red at the West in the evening.
