  1. Signs of Rain

    Share Share Post
    When the sky is red in the morning, that is the sign of rain.
    When the rocks are shining on the hill, that is the sign of rain.
    When the sun comes out when it is raining.
    When the hills are looking near.
    When the sea is roaring.
    When the magpie is screeching.
    The west wind brings the most rain to us.
