   the sign of a good day
   When you see the birds coming round about the yard in the winter months and animals in the field looking for shelter along the hedges it is a sign of wicked cold showers and snow
   When the sun is red it is a sign of wind and frost
   When you see hills or mountains looking near it is the sign of rain
