    It is a bad sign to see a rainbow in the morning. It is a good sign to see a rainbow in the evening. It is the sign of rain to see a cat scratch wool. It is another bad sign to see the dust flying off the road and to see the swallows flying low. It is the sign of snow to see the wind blowing from the North. It is another bad sign to see a horse with his back turned to the ditch. It is the sign of good weather to seek the sky red in the North and is the sign of frost to see the smoke going up straight out of the chimney.
