  1. Weather Lore.
    Signs of Fine Weather.
    When the sun goes down red.
    A Heavy dew on a Summers morning.
    A Fog on a Summers morning.
    If there are many stars in the sky at night.
    The swallows fly high.
    When the smoke goes up straight from the chimney.
    When the crows fly high.
    When there is a haze on the window.
    A clear moon
    A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight.
    When the cat plays in the fields.
    When the birds sing joyfully on the treetops.
    When the cock crows loudly
    When the pigs sleep soundly.
