  1. Weather Lore.
    When it is going to snow, the sheep gather into the sheltry side of the ditch. When it is going to rain the trouts jump out of the river often insects.
    When there is going to be frost the stars glitter and the sun is clouded. When there is going to be frost and wind together the crows gather in the trees around the house. The North East wind brings the most rain to my district.
    When there is going to be a severe wind storm the cat will stay at the fire and the wind will be in the South West.
