You may shear your sheep

When the elder blossoms peep.

Sand Mole.

The sand mole makes a mournful noise just before frost.

Spaniels.

When the spaniel sleeps it indicates rain.

Wolves.

Wolves always howl more before a storm; deer and elk come down from the mountains at least two days before a storm.

If the wolves howl and foxes bark during the winter, expect cold weather.

If wolves howl in the evening, expect a “norther.” (Texas.)
