- When there is a red sky in the morning it is the sign of rain.When there is a red sky in the evening it is the sign of fine weather.When the cat is sitting with his back to the fire it is the of rain.When the cat scratches the leg of the it is the sign of a storm.Mammy said when she was small, this rhyme was in her book.
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in holos hid her head.
The wandering shepherd heaves a sigh,
for see a rainbow spans the sky.
Puss on the hearth with velvet paws
Sits wiping o'er her whiskered jaws.
The soot falls down, the spaniel sleeps.- Informant
