  1. Signs of Good and Bad Weather

    Share Share Post
    Signs of good weather
    The sun red going down.
    The crows fly high in the sky.
    If there is a fog in the land.
    If the hills appear to be far away.
    Signs of Bad weather
    When the salt gets damp.
    If the raven comes to land.
    The south-wind is for rain.
    The snails crawling about.
    The clouds in the sky.
    If we see a blue light in the fire
    The rainbow we see in the sky.
    The smoke of a chimney going up straight.
    If the crows and swallows fly low.
    If the soot fals down the chimney.
    If the cat scrapes the leg of the table.
