  1. When we are going to have rain the sky darkens and the horses stand with thier back to the wall or divide and the cows and sheep run for (wexford) shelter. The ducks quack, quack. The peacocks cry and the distant hills are looking nigh the crickets sing. The smoke comes down the roof. The birds fly low and the winds blow from the south.
