   the sheep are lying in the fields all day.
   Signs of bad weather
   When you see the cat with his back to the fire. When you hear the Wild Geese. To see a circle round the moon. When you hear the stairs in the trees.
   Signs of Frost
   If it is raining all day and stops in the evening. To see a lot of stars in the sky. When the wind is in the north.
