- Goats decend to lower levels and seek the shelter of the houses.Blue flames appear in the fire.Swallows fly very low.The cat sits up near the fireCows in a field turn in the same direction and sit down.A ring appears round the moon.If it is near the bad weather is near. If it is far out the bad weather is far away.Distant hills look near.If the hawthorn grows in profusion a hard winter is coming.The sea looks clearer.Sounds in the distance seem near.
