  1. Signs and Superstitions

    Share Share Post
    If you chance to have two tea spoons in your cup it is a sign that you will be at wedding.
    If the sun shines out too early in the morning the day will be bad.
    If rocks on a hill are shining the day will be wet.
    If you see sheep on a mountain come down low and flock together it is the sign of roughness.
    If mountains look high it is the sign of fine weather.
    If the cock crows on a wet day it will be fine.
