    Weather Lore
    Signs of rain, birds flying low, a cat scraping wood, a dog eating grass. If the sun is red in the evening it is the sign of frost. If a donkey is standing with his back to the ditch it is the sign of bad weather. The midges flying in great numbers, the hills seem to be near us. The soot falling down the chimney are signs of. If the smoke is rising up straight from the chimney it is the sign of fine weather.
