    4. Natural Signs. When the sky is red in the west it is the sign of fine weather and when the sheep are on the top of the hill. When te floors are damp it is the sign of bad weather.
    5. Fire and smoke. When the smoke is refusing to go up it is the sign of frost. And when the flames of the fire is blue it is the sign of rain.
