    The salt being dry and hard
    The swallows coming back early in the Spring
    To see a robin on the top of a branch
    The swallows flying high
    Signs of Frost
    The chimney not to draw
    A clear sky
    When there are a great deal of stars out
    A fog in the evening
    Signs of Snow
    The wind blowing from the North or West
    When the sky is clouded
    When the weather is very cold
    The robin flying round the door
    Signs of Storm
    The cat scratching the leg of a chair
    The linnet to fly from the bog to the applaud
    The dust to be blowing
