    They also say if the circle round the moon is far away it is going to be fine and when it is near it is going to rain. When the dog eats grass the rain is near us. When the cat turns her tail to the fire they also say the rain is near us. When stares or crows flock around it is the sign of wind. When the crane fly up it is the sign of good weather.
