e.g.)

Most farmers get up in the cool of the morning, when the land is still sleeping.

~ since their day will be very long and labor-intensive. 

~, the next tasks lay outside. 

Whether it is preparing the soil for seeding or fixing a water line, there will be plenty of work to do. 

Once midday comes around, most farmers retreat from the hot sun and rest for a couple of hours.

Once they've eaten lunch or awoken from their nap, farmers start another task from the on-going list of things to do.

The list of tasks continues throughout the rest of the day well into the evening. 

That's when they finish off the little things and call it quits for the day.

Finally, everyone gathers for dinner together and then prepares for bed to get well deserved night's sleep after such a busy day.
