    If you see a mist on the mountain in the evening it is the sign of a bad day.When a person that is far away looks near you it is the sign of rain.
    When you see the sheep up high on the mountains it is the sign of a good day
    If you see the sheep coming down from the mountains to the lowlands it is the sign of bad weather. When you see the crows flying on the roads or on the stones or in the fields it is the sign of bad weather.
