  1. When the smoke goes up straight to the sky out of the chimney; when the mountains are to be seen cleary from a distance; when got hair is to be seen in the sky; when the sun goes down in a watery cloud; lightning at night; when the curlew is calling. When the dust blows in a cu [?] on the road; When the sheep are grazing early. When the cattle are sleeping in the fields.
