  1. Weather Signs

    Share Share Post
    We can often know about the weather if it is going to be good or bad.
    If it is going to be good the smoke comes up out of the chimney straight and it does not turn, and if the mist goes out the mountain the weather will be good, if the rooks light high on the trees and shout the weather will be bad, If the mist comes in the mountain the weather will be bad.
    If the curlius fly high coming down the mountain the next day will be bad, if the waves rattle differant ways at the sea the weather will be bad.
