- Signs of wet weatherWhen soot falls
Swallows fly low.
Fog on Corrick Hill.
Sheep go into a cluster.
When there is a ring around the moon at night, and the stars are dim.
When the sun goes down into a bank of clouds in the evening.
The crows seem to glide downwards.
The worms come up out of the ground.
Dust rises off the road.
Curlews shriek.
When the dog eats grass.
Clouds move quickly.
When shadows are seen in the lake.Signs of fine weather.When the sea-fog comes rolling in on Corrick Hill.
The cry of the crane.
The sun going down red.
When there are no clouds in the sky.
When the lake is calm.
Ants fly.(continues on next page)
