    Share Share Post
    If there is a lot of crows in the air it is the sign of a storm and if there is a black cloud in the sky it is the sign of rain. If there is a fog out at night the next day will be a hot day. If your corn is paining you it is the sign of rain
    If you ever hear a blackbird cackling someone in the house is going to die.
