    Weather Lore
    Some of the beliefs with regards to the weather are Rain in May fills the haggard with corn hay. A wet May and a windy June makes the Farmer whistle a merry tune.
    Sun:- When the sun shines bright early in the morning it denotes a wet afternoon and a red sunset denotes fine weather.
    Moon:- When there is a circle around the moon it denotes wet weather, and the larger the circle the nearer the rain.
