    seagulls come to the land. When hills seem to be nearer than usual.
    The signs of a sorm are when the at sits with her back to the fire. when there is a blue blaze in the fire. when birds go to look for shelter in the cattle sheds.
    The signs of good weather are.
    when the sun goes down red. when swallows fly high. The East wind brings dry weather but it brings diseases to the district.
