- (continued from previous page)harvest day usually about 2 o' clock in the afternoon there will be a shower
If the hoar frost flies back off the bushes into the air it will come back as rain
If it drips off the bushes on to the ground its is a sign of continued good weather
It's a local saying that ''An old moon's mist never dies in thirst.''''A quacking duck is a sign of rain.''''Never swap horses when crossing a stream.''''The cuckoo is a merry bird
She sings as she flies
But she never cries ''cuckoo''
Till the Summer is high.''
