Rain or Sunshine?

The stamps have five different beliefs or proverbs connected with forecasting summer weather.  Signs of dry weather are a snail showing its feelers, the red fin of a perch and long hops by a frog.  According to legend, wet weather is in store if a swallow flies low or the sheep gambol in the fields. The stamps were illustrated by Sari Airola and the graphical design for them was the work of Marjo Nygard-Niemisto.
