- When the swallows are flying very low.
When the cat turns his back to the fire.
When the hens are picking themselves.
When the Black snails come out from their hiding place.
When the floor gets damp.
Those are all signs of bad weather.Signs of good weather
When the flies are all cluttered together.
When the swallows are flying high.
When the smoke goes straight up the chimney
Red sky at night the shepherd's delight.
Red sky at morning the shepherd's warning.
