- (continued from previous page)smoke goes up straight in the air. A dull or foggy morning may be expected a fine day. When the sun sits in a very clear sky is a sign of frost. When all the stars are out in the sky it is a sign of frost. When blue flames are seen in the fire is a sign of thunder storm.
A cow tracked sky is a great sign for fine weather.
Bad weather. When the peacock cries, when the walls are damp, the ditches smell. If our corns pain us, it i a sure sign of rain.
Bad Weather. To see a goat looking up at the sky. To hear a robin chirping late in the evening.
Good Weather. To see the whole countryside filled with kind of blue smoke. To see a goat looking for water in a ditch.
Evening red, and morning grey,
Helps the traveller on his way,
Evening grey and morning red,
Brings down rain upon his head
If the cuckoo sits on a bare thorn,
sell the cow and buy in corn. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
