Today is Lammas - one foot in summer, the other dipping a toe into autumn. It’s a festival of gratitude and abundance, of honouring what we are harvesting. There is always something that has grown no matter how tough the conditions, literally as well as metaphorically. It’s the first harvest so it’s also about patience and anticipation, there’s still more to come to fruition (dahlias and zinnias for me literally, metaphorically, other things that are slower to get going due to challenging conditions). And if things haven’t been harvested as you hoped then save that seed for the next turn of the wheel.
