Lughnasdh Blassings

Blessings on you and yours and
We Celebrate the First Harvest
Blessed Be


I am glad to have the ancient fire festival days to help mark time around my calendar. And this August 1 will be especially poignant because as Randy and I walk the protection circle around our house, I am certain both of us will be thinking similar thoughts. How thankful we are to have found each other and how much we will miss each other while he is away for business the next six weeks...

We will harvest some of the vegtables from our garden (of which I made a dinner of grilled eggplant, greenbeans, fried green tomatoes, and salad last night)...

I hope to make a corn sheaf dolly to save until next spring when I will return it to the ground...

We will sit around a fire, much like our ancestors did, facing the fact that autumn will soon be upon us...
