When you see a beaver carrying sticks in its mouth, It will be a hard winter-You'd better go south. 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. The following activities and related books for children may be used in the classroom or in the home. Groundhog Day Book List Balian, Lorna. A Garden for Groundhog . Humbug Press, 1985.
