    Weather Lore
    Good Weather
    if the sky seems high up with white clouds sailing in a blue sky, cement floors get damp.
    When the wind blows from the north-east fine weather may be expected.
    Bad Weather. A haziness in the air which shades the sun's light, at night if the moon and stars grow dim and a ring encircles the moon rain will follow, when the cat scrapes, the dog eats grass. the ashes turns blue in the fire or if the seagulls are inland.
