  1. SIGNS OF RAIN;
    When the wind is coming from Borris in Ossory.
    When the train is heard clearly coming into Mountrath station.
    Curlews flying down is a sign of rain.
    A rainbow in the morning.
    A dog eating grass.
    Froth coming down a river.
    Soot falling.
    Midges biting.
    Swallows flying low.
    A cloud comes over the sun.
    Smoke comes down the chimney.
    The ducks cackle loudly.
    The rivers and waterfalls are heard near.
    The crows flying about.
