    Weather Lore
    Signs of rain
    Soot falling
    A dog eating grass.
    Blue flames in the fire.
    A cat with his back to the fire
    The rooks flocking
    A ring round the moon at night.
    A person feeling drowsy in the morning.
    The dust blowing off the road in Summer
    White stripes in the sky at night.
    The sun clouded
    Hens picking themselves
    No stars in the sky at night
    Cattle standing with they backs to the breeze
    The train making great noise
    The hearth-stone being damp
