  1. (continued from previous page)
    Signs of Rain:-
    1. When the mountains meet the sky.
    2. When the swallows fly low.
    3. When there is a circle around the moon.
    4. When dogs eat grass.
    5. When your corns pain you.
    6. "When the hollow winds begin to blow
    When the clouds look black, the glass is low,
    The soot falls down the spaniels sleep
    And spiders from their cobwebs creep.
    Signs of fine weather:-
    When the swallows fly high.
    When it is a foggy morning
    When the sky is red at night
    When the wind comes from the North, it is a sign of frost.
