These days . it's f.u. I have my rights.
A lot of places still follow those crazy laws of no sunday hunting. But I do agree with not working on sundays LOL
Farmers not being able to work on a Sunday, ha ha ha ha.
Work make hay while the sun shines, if that means it is a Sunday then that is the day you work.
Grandpa always thought he ran the farm. Being kids,we always believed him,too. When he told us that chores were to be done,we jumped and did them or else. Then came Sunday morning and things changed real quick. We did chores at dawn,but,after breakfast,it was time for church and and woe betide the errant family member who was late or appeared unkempt. Nobody dared antagonize the wrath of Grandma on Sunday,especially,not even Grandpa because it would last the rest of the week.
I’m not religious but I do believe that everyone should be allowed a day off to spend with family. Then again, how many of the people working service/retail jobs need those Sunday hours to make ends meet ? Tough one
The number of times that we would have a family get together for Easter or a big family birthday, Christening, etc and one of the farmers in the family always missed it.Quote:

I do forget which one it was though, the name escapes me. I will tell you though, if the hay was cut and rain was coming Monday we would be bailing as soon as the dew was burned off on Sunday.
