- (continued from previous page)Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child must work hard for its living
But the child that is born on the Sabbath Day,
Is happy and bright, good and gay. - There are always three very cold windy days in the end of March, and it is said that they were borrowed from April to help to skin the old cow and they are called "Reevoch" days.
It is said that potato onions should be planted on the shortest day of the year, and taken up on the longest.
When people are changing cattle from one field to another they usually do so on Friday, because it is said to be the luckiest day.- Collector
