    No one can see the wind only the pigs.
    The hills near + plain
    The surest sign of rain.
    The falling of the soot + a blue light in the griosach an infallible sign of rain.
    If it rains at the break of the tide you will have a flood.
    Flying ants are a sign of rain.
    May Morning Pisheroges
    Draw a rope along the dew of your neighbour's field on May morning before the sun rises + you will carry their butter for the year.
    To save your cows from "Pisheroges" strike each one with a lighted furze bush on May Eve as she passes out of the yard.
