  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    Monday, Wednesday and Friday are unlucky. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are lucky. Potatoes should be planted before the seventeenth of March and turnips should be planted before the first of June.
    When cold snowy days occur on the last three days of March and the first three days of April these are called the days of the old cow, or the "Shromnriock". "March comes in like a lion and goes out like lamb".
    Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday is no good atall,
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses,
    Saturday no day atall,
    Sunday is the best day of all.
