    Taken from:- Marianne Brady, Lughill Monasterevan, Co. Kildare.
    People used to say that if you saw a very red sky in the morning it was a sign of a coming storm; or if the sun was a very pale colour when it was setting it was also a bad sign.
    If the crickets were heard singing it was considered a bad sign.
