Sept. 1, 2010

Do you remember any Labor day traditions of your youth?

It was just another day of work on the farm and dreading it since it meant school would be starting the next day and summer was over. I don't ever remember any specific things that we would do to celebrate the holiday but it seem like the last of the summer chores were still there and of course we couldn't go shopping for school clothes since the stores all closed on all of the holidays as well. I suppose that it also meant dad and mom didn't have work so we could get the last full day of canning in for the summer, the rest would be done on saturdays till all of the fruit was put up and the jams and jellies made for the year.
