- When soot falls.
When a blue blaze is seen in the fire.
When the sky is very dark.
When the moon looks pale or dim.
When the dog is seen eating grass.
When swallows fly low just shimmering the ground.
When the hills seem near.
When ants are seen flying about.
When gnats are plentiful.
When the ducks quack.
When the hens gather together with humps on their backs.
When the crows are seen perched on the ditches cawing very loudly.
When the robins are seen sitting high up on trees.
When larks fly low.
When there is a red sunset.
When the seagulls are seen on land.
A Rainbow in the sky.
A ring around the moon.
The clouds moving quickly.
When the ashes seem blue.
When the seagulls whistle.
When black snails are seen crawling along the roads
