    It is an old saying that if February will not fill the dykes March will.
    If the market of Cullen is wet, the fair of Knockardin will be fine.
    A wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay.
    If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.
    Monard ash and Cordangan larch are the best woods.
    A stitch in time sames nine.
    A green Christmas makes a fat Churchyard.
