    Weather Lore
    Signs of Rain
    A mackerel sky,
    A halo around the moon.
    The stars dim,
    The westerly wind,
    Crows flying low,
    Seagulls in the land,
    Swallows skimming the grass,
    A robin perched under a tree in the morning,
    Cattle go grazing early,
    Brooks roaring,
    Blue in the fire or knives,
    Smoke going in circles around the top of the chimney,
    Dogs eating grass,
    Insects on the road,
    "A rainbow in the morning shepherd's warning, a rainbow at night shepherd's delight."
    Signs of Snow
    The cat turning his back to the fire,
    Wild birds restless.
    The robin becoming tame, for example coming in to your dwelling house for food.
