  1. Signs of Rain

    Share Share Post
    The soot falls down the chimney.
    A rainbow in the morning.
    Stars twinkle when it is not the season for frost.
    The hills appear very near.
    The rocks shine in the hill.
    The swallows fly low.
    Winged ants are on the road.
    Midges are seen in the air very plentiful.
    The sun rises red in the east.
    The sun shines when it is raining or after it rains.
    A halo round the moon.
