Some are based on fact. I saw a programme once about cows lying down. They did a speeding up version of the cows activities and they did seem to lie down just before rain. Perhaps to have a dry spot to lie down in.
The quotes about red sky in the morning is somthing to do with the way light is refracted and that storm clouds are on the way. Someone who understands it better than me might explain.
My mam used to say a robin coming into the house was bad luck. They come in here oftern but the worse bit is they poo everywhere when i chase them out.
To be happy for an hour get drunk. To be happy for a day kill your pig and eat it. To be happy for a week get married. To be happy for a lifetime plant a garden.

I've been trying to remember this one for ages, here it is
The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth....
