  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the wind is coming from the East it is the sign of rain. When the salt gets damp in the house it is the sign of rain. To hear the crickets singing in the house at night it is the sign of bad weather. To see the robbin singing after he washes himself it is the sign of bad weather.
