    The Weather
    13. "I noticed the frogs on a fine morning dressed in a bright coat. When it is going to be bad weather the frogs dress in dark ugly colours".
    14. "I am living convenient to a wood where the crows build their nests. When they get uneasy and make noise and rise high up into the air there is sure to be a storm in a very short time".
    15. When there is a circle round the moon it is sure to rain in a short time.
    16. "When I am out in the field with my little dog and find him chewing grass I start for home because I know there would be rain in an hour".
    Peter O'Tulaig, from Seamus Mac Connaire
    Culligan.
