cows cows cows!

Cows cows cows - in other words life in countryside. We all know that life in a village is different than the one in the city. But most of us don't really know how it looks like. I was born in really small village and lived whole 19 years there, so i'm going to say a little bit about this.


First major difference is the cycle of a week. People are used to five days of work, a weekend and sometimes holidays. But in village you will never get the meaning of a free day - jobs are waiting everyday and for example you can't say to the animals that you are tired and won't feed them or milk the cows. The day starts at 6 AM and lasts around 12 hours with only a few moments to take a breath. Be prepared for endless hard-working. And you think bad weather or coming Christmas will change it? Nope, it will only give more problems.

And what offers repertoire? Some of them are seasonal like hay-making, potato-lifting, harvest, sowing and others. Most of them are in summer (good bye summer holidays), and only few in winter (preparing food for animals, there is no grass so it requires much more effort). And some of them are alywas - preparing food for animals that can't eat on a grassland, cleaning after them, sometimes taking care of birth of new animal.

 Even if there is always something to do living here isn't bad. The life is slow-pieced - unlike in a city you don't need to run for a tram, worry that you are late to class room or work you simply do things without hesitation. Also everyone knows everyone and help each other, there is no rivalisation but also no anonymity. Even the air is much more different than the one in the city. There is no noise of civilization. You always have food because you produce it. You can simply sit in the bosom of nature and enjoy it :)
