WOLF!

Happy Lughnasadh.

Do you make corn dollies?

There wolf, there castle ...

Yes, I do make corn dollies, but not terribly consistently. I missed on them this year, for example.

It's been busy.

Thanks for the Lughnassadh or however the heck it's spelled greetings. That's why I usually call it Lammas.

What I've always wanted to make are Brigid's Crosses, but I tend to be short on wheat stalks and have never done it.

Brigid is my confirmation name.
As I got older I liked the ambivalence.

It's never too late! you've got all of August coz the corn went in so late due to all the rain.

I know you've been playing nurse advocate for your friend - but if you have some time, make a dolly! It'll be good!
