   There are many signs of weather good and bad. Signs of good weather are: a crow circling in the air, the sun going down very red in the evening and swallows flying high in the air. The signs of bad weather are: soot falling from the chimney, salt getting damp, the cat scraping timber, the dust blowing off the road. The smoke coming out through the kitchen instead of going up the chimney. Signs of storms are, the sheep flocking together at the bottom of a hill, the birds flocking home and the sky red at the bottom.
