Lughnasa Honey Moon
Out with brixblaster this morning. Mid-50’s for temp and a dewpoint in the high 40’s. 
Just right. While out there, I noticed several tomatoes ready for harvest along with eggplants, peppers and cucumbers. A few raspberries, too. The raspberries are just starting to come while the tomatoes have worked through most of their blooms. The fruits are not all ripe, however. Even though the temperatures will pop back up into the high 80’s and low 90’s today feels like the coming of the old fashioned fall.
Before I have lunch with Tom Crane over in Arbor Lakes, I’m going to hit Kate’s favorite store, Joann Fabrics. Candle making supplies. We have wick, mold and bees wax, but there’s something called mold release and mold sealer that I might buy. Vegetable oil works, too, apparently and I can imagine using clay or putty for the mold seal, so if I can’t find them at Joann’s or if they’re too expensive, we’ll go ahead anyhow.
I’m also going to work on our bulb order this morning. Labor Day.
