- (continued from previous page)when the sun sets in a red ball, smoke ascending straight from chimneys and glittering stars.The signs of rain are numerous. Midges fly low and insects are very wicked annoying people and animals. Birds also fly low and walls of some kind become damp. Other signs of rain are stars falling, dark clouds near to earth, hills and mountains appear near and sun rising too early. The cat sitting with her back to the fire, the dog eating grass, the ass braying loudly and ducks quacking loudly all tell of rain.
