   (continued from previous page)

   When there is a ring around the moon When the hills seem nearer at times than at other times. When the worms come up the top of the clay. Signs of fine weather When there is a fog in the morning When the dust rises from the road When the smoke goes up straight from the chimney When the bat is flying around the house. Old sayings about the weather Evening red, and morning grey , that's the sure sign of a fine day. Evening grey, morning red, makes the sailor shake his head. Signs of storms When the cat scrapes a stick. Heard from:- Catherine Tannian, age 80 years, Colemanstown, Menlough.

   Signs of rain
   When the dog is eating grass
   When the sky is bright in the morning
   When the ducks are quacking.
