Lughnasa Waning Green Corn Moon
Today the Woolly Mammoths put themselves on the ancient trail to the north, a gathering of the herd happens here in Andover starting at 6:00 p.m. or so. Kate has helped me with the meal the last two meetings, or, better, I have helped her help me. The menu includes two brined and roasted free-range chickens. It also includes potatoes from our garden with our parsley, roasted beets, turnips, and carrots, and possibly, tomato and onion salad from our garden. I say possibly because three of our Cherokee Purples began to turn last Friday, all the rest of our tomato explosion are still green. Kate will also make her signature dish, a rhubarb pudding.
I have to go out this morning and retrieve my new wedding ring from the jewelers so Vega, Kate, and I can have a small ceremony during the meeting blessing the new ring. Then there’s a chain to get to keep Rigel out of the damned orchard. Ice. Bones to keep the big dogs happy during the meal. The little things that have to get done before a large meal.
So, I’d better get to it. Talk to you later.
