And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Funny how city people get this mind-set, everything, every job can be turned 'on' & 'off'. Wanna spend the weekend at the Beach? Just 'turn off the farm'...? Sleep in late, come home late - all that livestock is bellowing at you for attention.
My favorite is 'get a milk cow/goat for free milk!!!' Ya gotta milk her 2x a day, morning & evening, rain, shine, sleet, snow, ice storm & blizzard, extreme heat, there are no 'days off'.
Or early.
ReplyDeleteThere is no late or early in farming, there is just every day.
