  1. Sometimes when people see a red sky in the night they say red sky's night sheperds delight. If they saw it in the morning they would say "red sky's morning sheperd's warning" They would say that because a red sky in the night is a sign of good weather and a red sky in the morning is a sign of bad weather.
    If you see swallows flying high in a bunch it is a sign of thunder.
