When heavy clouds go down over a sunset sky it is a sign of bad weather.
A red sky in the morning means bad weather. Crows making a noise around trees means rain. Swallows flying high is a sign of good weather. Seagulls flying inland for-tells a storm.
When a cat sits with her back to the fire it is a sign of a storm. Dogs eating grass is another sign of rain. Pigs carrying straw to their bed is another sign of bad weather. If the hills far away look near it means bad weather. Trixie Love,
