    Weather Lore
    Good Weather The signs of good weather are When the wind is in the north, the sky high and blue, the sun sets red.
    Bad Weather The signs of bad weather are when the chairs and tables creak, when the dogs eat grass, when the sun sets pale, the rooks fly low, a rain-bow in the sky. The distant hills seeme near, the flies disturb the cattle. the wind (wind) whistles in the doors. the blazes in the fire turn blue.
