When the ashes seem blue.
When soot falls.
When the hills seem near hand.
When ducks quack very loudly.
When the cat sits with her back to the fire.
When a dog eats grass.
When the birds fly very low.
When a number of dark clouds are seen in the sky.
When a ting is seen round the moon.
When there is a red sunset.
When there is a blue blaze in the fire.
When the robin sits very low on a tree.
When gnats are in large clusters and flying about.
Good weather
When the mountains and hills seem far away and foggy.
When stars are seen glittering in the sky.
When birds are flying very high.
Storm
When the cat scratches wood.
When the moon seems pale.
When sea-gulls are flying inland.
When crows are flying in large numbers and cawing.
When fields are very green.(continues on next page)- Collector
