   If you see a rainbow in the morning it is the sign of rain, and if the rainbow is there in the evening it is the sign of fine weather. If the swallows fly low it is the sign of bad weather. If you see the crows going off early in the morning it is the sign of a good day. But if you see the crows sitting you can look out for windy weather and rain. If you see a blue blaze in the fire at night you can expect rain.
