I think you mean "Make hay while the sun shines" which means to take advantage of an opportunity while it's available or to not to put off what needs to be done now. Don't procrastinate.

There is a saying "Make hay while the sun shines" which basically means get going and do what needs to be done now before something happens to prevent doing what needs to be done. Like things that can't be done in the rain or in darkness. Don't procrastinate.

The phrase is "make hay while the sun shines".
It is an aphorism that encapsulates a real-life reality to demonstrate a greater truth.
In farming, you need the light to work, moreover, hay can not be made when it is raining or when the temperature has reached the dewpoint. Making hay is also an absolute necessity in farm life.
The aphorism references these basic truths and encapsulates them into it's brevity.
The ultimate meaning is, be proactive, take advantage of every opportunity to do the necessities in life, for there will be times when you can not.

Do you mean: Make Hay While the Sun Shines?
If so, it is simple. You do not want your bales of straw standing ready to be made into bales of hay and a rainstorm comes along and destroys all of it. So the saying to be sure to make your hay from your straw while the sun is shining.
