  1. Signs of the Weather

    When you see the copper dawn in the mornings, it's a sign that you will have rain that day.
    When you see a circle far round the moon, it's a sign it will rain, and when the circle is near the rain is far away.
    When the clouds are dark it's a sign of rain.
    When you see a rainbow, it's a sign of showery weather.
    When the wind is in the South you are sure to have rain.
