  1. When the fish leap over the water.
    When the dust rises off the road.
    When the water turns a dark color.
    When there are streamers from the sun.
    When the curlew sings in the evening.
    A hen picking herself under a brush.
    When the ashes turn a blue color.
    When the midges are sharp in the evening.

    Weather lore, Good weather.
    A clear sky.
    To see the cattle going up the hilltops.
    When the mountains look far away.
    A mist rising off the water.
    A mist in the valley.
    A mist going out the mountain.
    The wind from the north.
    When the sun sets clear.
    When a cement floor gets damp.
    When the crickets leave the house and sing out in the field.
    When the cock crows on the top of a ditch.
    A fog in the valley.
