this work introduces the reader to the customs surrounding the onset of the summer farming season, particularly focusing on "Touonalkajaiset", a festival marking the beginning of agricultural activities. We witness the preparations of the villagers, including discussions about the optimal timing for starting their farming practices, rituals performed to ensure the health of livestock, and various prayers and blessings dedicated to their crops and animals.
