Weather-Lore
3rd May 1938
If the moon and stars grow dim and a ring encircles the former rain will follow.
If the sun's rays appear like Moses' horns, or goes down into a bank of clouds in the horizon bad weather is to be expected.
If the moon looks pale and dim we expect rain.
If it looks red we expect wind and if her natural colour with the clear sky, fair weather.
When the dog eats grass we expect rain.
When the cat scrapes the trunk of a tree a storm will follow.
If the crows lie on the stone-walls we expect rain.
