    When the sky is red in the evening it is the sign of a good day tomorrow.
    If the swallows fly low its a sign of rain.
    If the snow is fine its the sign go plenty of snow.
    When a dog eats grass it is the sign of a good day.
    If a cat sits with her back to the fire it is a sign of a storm.
    If the smoke is going up straight it is the sign of good weather.
