    When the dog starts eating grass, when the goats come home, when the robin comes out on the top of the tree, when the cricket starts to sing, when the soot starts to fall, when the cat starts washing himself or when the hens start to pick themselves we are about to have rain.
    Get a bottle and fill it with water. Invert the same in a jar half filled with water. If the water rises in the bottle the day will be fine, if it falls the day will be wet.
