Putting Away Last Season

Lughnasa                                                       Harvest Moon

A chilly morning, great weather for sleeping.  September rolls along, the harvest moon in the sky.  This weekend will see all the honey extracting materials put away until next season.  Some weeding in the perennial bed.  The last of the candles made.  Putting away last season, getting ready for the next.

My Zojirushi came yesterday.  At low wattage it keeps water at the right temperature for tea.  Green 175.  Oolong 206.  Black 212.  It will simplify gong fu cha.  I plan to set it up this afternoon.  Getting ready for the next season, which includes a lot of writing time.

It’s the middle weekend of September.  The kids are back in school.  The Great Wheel turns.
