Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Lammas revisited

 Last Sunday afternoon my women's group met to celebrate the first harvest or Lammas.

We each brought something to represent our harvest to give away to each other.


I loved considering the beautiful kernels of wheat.

My basket came home filled with apples, herbs, oranges and flowers!

We had a great little skit performed about Demeter and Persephone...with a humorous twist. 

It was so wonderful to sit out under trees with a breeze blowing. Many smiles around the circle. Thanks to our organizing women!

      The group meets on the ancient holy days from the Celtic calendar, or the agricultural calendar. It was lots of fun!

      I sure have lots of the bounty that I brought home. Hope I can use it all before it goes bad!

    What a nice tradition!

    I have to admit I read "lamas" at first and was looking for the animals--lol! There is a ranch that raises lamas on the way to my son's home and I always want to stop and pet them as they look so cute.

      I used that term, because I can't spell the older name of the Celtic holiday, Lughnesdagh, or something like that!

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
