Thinking About: September and the Harvest Season
Lammas has come and gone, and John Barleycorn has been cut down at the knee. The three men from the west have taken him on their cart; he has been threshed and now waits to be transformed into flour, beer, and whisky. It is always a bittersweet festival for me as it represents the height of Summer, but also the first harvest, and thus the bringer of Autumn.
