- 2288 .11.'38Signs of rain.
When the sun has rays going from it.
When the moon has a circle around it and when it is on its back.
When the clouds are black and dark.
When a rainbow appears in the morning.
When the wind is blowing from the south west
When the wind whistles through the telegraph wires and when it has a hollow sound.
When the sea birds are flying inland.
When the wild ducks and geese leave the bogs and go to the mountains.
When the soot is burning on the pots on the fire
When smoke blows downwards
When the sheep are beside a sheltery ditch.
When dogs are eating grass.
When the swallows fly low.
When the sky is red in the morning
When the hills appear near
When the slugs are crawling around.Signs of a coming storm.
When the horses begin whinning
When the sea birds are flying inland.(continues on next page)
