- (continued from previous page)sign of rain.
- When wind blows South West there will be rain. If the far hills and mountains look near it is the sign of bad weather. If the wind blows north there will be snow. If it blows east there will be dry weather. If the birds fly low it is a bad sign and if they fly high it is a good sign. If the cattle are grazing upon the hill the day will be good. If they are grazing in the hollow the day will be bad. A rainbow in the morning is a shepherds warning and a rainbow in the night is a shepherds delight. When the goat makes for her house it is the sign of rain.
