The Turning of The Wheel of The Year


Normally, August is one of the hottest months on record for where I live.  The gardens are producing, canning, also called putting up, freezing, and drying veggies and herbs is in full swing.  The Winter garden is being planted according to the Almanac. So far this week the temps have been more Fall like, 80s during the day and high 50s at night.  This is football weather!!  

I just happened to check my fav online weather site and noticed that as of yesterday, the Sun has started setting before 7p.  Each year when this happens, I start to feel the Wheel of the Year turning and the closer we get to Mabon and Samhain the faster the wheel seems to turn.  Winter brings on staying inside more, I'm an outdoor person.  Moving the furniture around again to accommodate indoor rituals if needed.  Journeying to Bridget's Well to collect pristine water and greens for Yule decorations, putting in more time at the website where I do Tarot Readings, and just mainly getting thru the Winter.  And the old timers here are predicting not a good Winter.  

Granted, September is just a few weeks away and this weather should happen  then, but the forecasters say this cooler weather is just a blip on the weather radar screen and hot weather will return.
