- The old people say when there is the least bit of blue sky visible you may be certain there will be a fine day as they say :-
"When there is as much blue as would make a - jacket - for - a - sailor."
Signs of rain:
"Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws, sits wiping o'er her whiskered jaws."
"My dog so altered in his taste, ?uit mutton bones on grass to feast."
"In the pond where the fishes glide, Quickly seize the incautious flies."
"A rainbow in the morning, a shepherd's warning,
A rainbow in the night, a shepherd's delight."
"The wind from the east is neither good for man nor beast."(continues on next page)
