The Weather Reporter   This weather reporter is made of yarn that is braided. You will need about 45 pieces of 18 inch yarn (4 ply) but depending on the thickness of yarn you use you may need less. Tie the yarn in the center and fold over, divide into 3 sections and braid. Tie a piece of yarn for the neck and one to secure the braiding at the bottom. Add 2 googly eyes and a loop.     The verse that goes with the weather person is: *****Congratulations***** You are now the proud owner of a weather forecaster. For best results, hang it outside a window. Be sure to check it each day. If it gets wet, it's raining! If it turns white, it's snowing! If it gets stiff, it's freezing! If it is moving, it's windy! If it is gone, you've been ripped off!! original given to me by my mother-in-law

The Weather Rock Put a rock with googly eyes on it in nylon netting, fasten at top ready to hang outside. Add this poem. Weather Rock I'm a weather-wise rock. Accuracy Guaranteed!! If I'm wet, it's raining. If I'm moving, it's windy. If I'm white, it's snowing. If I'm icy, it's sleeting If I'm bouncing, it's hailing. If I'm hot & dry, it's sunny. If you can't see me, it's foggy. If I'm gone, you've been ripped off -source unknown

Weather Superstitions If the rooster crows at night, He's trying to say rain's in sight. The hooting of an owl, Says the weather will be foul. When the chairs squeak, It's about rain they speak. Expect the weather to be fair, When crows fly in pairs. When ladybugs swarm, Expect a day that's warm. When chickens scratch together, There's sure to be foul weather. Flies bite more before a storm. Frogs croak more and ducks quack louder before rain. When you see a beaver carrying sticks in its mouth, It will be a hard winter-You'd better go south.
