lammas weekend: mellow yellow

in the ways of the Old Country,
it's a holiday.


the first of the harvest holidays

-the summer yellow harvest, i think of it as-


time for jams

and collecting leaves for winter potions


and reaping the wheat.

I have a lovely weekend planned for myself -


gathering calendula petals


a trip to the farmer's market

and i've got my eye on a powerful potion...
Mirabelle Brandy.


aaah, bliss.

a lovely weekend to you, everyone.

Blessed Lammas to you! We'll be baking bread and berry muffins. In the past I've had a hard time connecting with the harvest aspect of this day. But not this year - the forests are ripe for the picking! :-)
