  1. Weather Lore

    When a cat scrapes the leg of a table its the sign of rain.
    When the seagulls stand in a cluster it is the sign of wet weather.
    When the swallows fly low it is the sign of bad weather.
    When the sun sets in red colour its the sign of good weather.
    When spiders from their cobweb creep its the sign of rain.
