    Lughnasa                                                 Full Harvest Moon

    Kate’s out in Denver visiting the grandkids while Mark and I hold a visa watch, waiting for some word from the mysterious world of Saudi bureaucracy.

    Yesterday I took a trip to Duluth to deliver 3 pounds of honey in payment for use of the image on this year’s Artemis Honey labels.  Kenspeckle Press provided the image through a friend of Mark Odegard, Rick Allen.

    Mark turned this image into a beautiful 2011 label for Artemis Hives.  Thanks, Mark and Rick.

    Today I moved books off a bookshelf, moved the bookshelf and repositioned a weight rack.  Later I broke ground for garlic planting and split the bulbs into cloves for planting tomorrow.

    I also watched the Vikings.  How about those Vikings?  May be a short season for me.  I’m a fair weather fan.

    Latin, groceries, planting garlic.  All await tomorrow.

     


  • Honey Finished Up

    Lughnasa                                          Waxing Harvest Moon

    The new honey labels are on all the jars.  And we still have a few more jars to fill.  This is a lot of honey, much more than we need, perhaps even more than we can give away.  A season’s work worth the effort.

    The honey buckets have been cleaned, as has the extractor and the uncapping bins, the hot knife and the sink.  We have another gallon or so of honey left, not in jars.
