    If the goat is to be seen on the mountain or hill, it is a good sign, but if it comes home to its place of safety one may look out for storm and rain.
    The farmer likes to see the birds high on the tree tops during the Spring as it is a sign of a good Summer.
    When the cricket chirps sharply from the corner it is a sign of rain.
