    Weather Lore
    When the sun sets in a dark cloud that is the sign of very bad weather but if it sets clear good weather is expected.
    When there is a white circle around the moon that is the sign of rain.
    When the stars are twinkling brightly in the sky that's a sign of fine weather.
    A rainbow in the sky is a sign of rain.
    When the cat sits sleepy by the fire that is a sign of bad weather.
    When there are dark clouds in the sky that is a sign of rain, but if the clouds are white there would be fine weather.
    Got by: Mary Manton, Cahernagarry, Bullaun.
    From: My Father Johnny Age 60, same address, on the 13th July 1938,
