Very few had the extreme luxury of sleeping in as we do today, you were up at the crack of dawn usually Mom & Dad were up first. Mom was up to start breakfast, then Dad would be out the door taking care of the livestock, feeding, grooming, putting them out to pasture for the day. And if there were older children (over the age of eight or older), and usually boys , they would go out with Dad in the fields help plant crops , chop wood. repairs harnesses, go hunting and fishing. Mom & the girls (if there were any) would be baking , cooking, cleaning, sewing, knitting, making medicines, candles, spinning wool (once it was washed and cleaned) and weaving if she had a loom, and make the odd batch of homemade candy if there was extra sugar for that rare treat, and putting in the garden for your fresh produce and gather eggs once you fed the chickens (getting them out of the hen house first makes it a lot easier when you gather the eggs), in the fall the entire family would be doing the harvest, butchering and preserving food for the winter that was coming, nobody would be working on Sunday because you had to go to Church, so you did EVERYTHING the night before (bathing, prepping food etc...) the only thing you were allowed to do on Sunday was take care of the livestock (it is painful for the cows if you do not milk them!!! ). Then on Monday it started all over again !
