  1. Sayings about the Weather

    If blue lights are seen in the ashes when putting down a fire it is a sign that we will soon have rain.
    If there is a halo around the sun or moon it indicates bad weather.
    When swallows fly near the ground it is a sign of rain..
    When the wild geese fly towards the West stormy or rainy weather is almost always approaching and if they fly in the opposite directions it is a sign of good weather.
