Fun and care. Summer

Both adults and children – everyone loves summer. But today’s children see in it the opportunity to relax and sunbathe, and the children in the old days had to rest in the summer. No wonder endless work in the village was called “suffering.” They mowed, starting from the holiday of Ivan Kupala, for almost a month, and then dried – they turned it off, put it in a stack. It is important that the hay does not get wet – the hay will rot, than to feed cattle in winter? They prayed to God that there was a bucket – dry sunny weather. The berries were kept, and the children entrusted this “tasty”, but monotonous work. And it seemed that she was not an end! Of course, there were holidays – in green Christmas time (russial week), the girls guessed the grooms, on the holiday of Kupala jumped over bonfires, drove round dances. In the paintings of artists – with enthusiasm and surprise – it is told about the works and holidays of Russian people in summer suffering.
