Lughnasa Harvest Moon
I set the timer for the Zojirushi water boiler for 6 hours last night. When I came downstairs this morning, it had heated the water to boiling and allowed the temperature to descend to the holding temperature I selected, 175 degrees. This allows me to take water from it at that temperature all day, filling my pitcher, my teapot as many times as I wish.
Earlier this morning I made a pot of Yunnan White Jasmine Tea and am now on my second pot. Each pot brews about 8 ounces which I drink from a tiny Chinese style teacup my sister purchased for me as part of a set. I use the pitcher and water table from that set, too. I can make 4 more pots of tea before I have to switch tea leaves.
Did a spray of brixblaster this morning (reproductive plants): raspberries, tomatoes, 
ground cherries, broccoli and carrots. The vegetative plants left are leeks, beets and greens, but not enough to mix up a batch of qualify. After the spraying, I picked ground cherries. They will fill out the amount Kate needs for the pie she’s baking for the Woollies tonight. She’s also making a raspberry pie.
Tonight I’m taking as well a box of Artemis Honey for sale. The first time I’ve actively marketed our honey. I feel strange doing it since I have an almost Confucian attitude toward merchants, but I’m trying to learn to honor my labor. Marketing Missing is the next, similar, activity.
