   cat scratched timber and when he turns his back to the fire it is also a bad sign. When the stars are very bright it is the sign of frost. When mountains look near and when they are capped with clouds it is a bad sign ad also when they are covered with fog. When crickets chirp and when midges are seen out after a shower in the evening they are bad signs. When there is a circle around the moon it is the sign of rain. When the sun rises red it is a bad sign and when it sets pale it is a bad sign and when it rises pale and sets red it is a good sign. When the sky is blue it is a good sign and when the sky is red in the west in the evening it is also a good sign.

   If the sky is blue in the morning and in the afternoon it gets cloudy and the clouds begin to move it is the sign of frost. In the morning if the fog goes off the mountain and goes west it is the sign of fine weather. When the cap is on the mountain in the evening is the sign of rain: When the crows are flying in the air high in the evening it is the sign of fine weather.
