   Nobody yokes a horse on May day to work with him because it is unlucky to stir the clay on May Day.
   (Portrun)

   On May day the people used to get a stick and tie a bunch of primrosis on it and stick it up in the thatch.
   (Clooncagh)

   My father, Owen Brennan, Clooneskirt, made a wooden plough about ten years ago, but the sock and the coulter was steel. He picked out one of them to be the best. He used to plough all the drills in the bog with it. One day when he was ploughing last year in the bog the plough met again a rock and it broke & my father couldn't fix it
