  1. Signs of Good Weather and Bad Weather

    Share Share Post
    If you hear the train noising loudly it is the sign of bad weather. If you could see a lot of the country around you it is the sign of good weather. If you see white stripes across the sky it is the sign of bad weather, and if the sky is clear it is the sign of good weather. If you see a couple of crows going together it is a sign of bad weather, and if they go in flocks it is the sign of good weather.

  2. How to Make a Daisy Chain

    Share Share Post
    First of all pick a bunch of good, long daisies with thick stems. Then get one daisy to make a hole in it and stick another into it and keep going on till the chain is made.
