Haystacks in Late Summer c.1891, Claude Monet (1840-1926)
Lammas marks the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and the Autumnal Equinox. A festival of the summer harvest, it is often celebrated on August 1st.
We're observing Lammas by eating white corn from our friend Astrid's vegetable garden.
Wishing you a happy harvest time!

I haven't had my coffee yet, I read it at first as Llama. Time for caffiene!! happy Lamma.
Oh no! Summer is half gone already?
Lammas is also referred to as "loaf-mass" day. And I heartily endorse any holiday that promotes mass loafing! I'm going back to bed.
Janet, We've got a lot of llamas here in Nevada County and, from time to time, lamas too
Michelle, Whoosh!
Welcome Fred! But I guess you aren't awake to read this.
The corn is...a little bit of heaven. I'm glad you could share it, Ms. and Mr. Daffodil Planter.

Astrid, Thank you! (sound of crunching)
My hubby is off to the farmer's market today. We will have something wonderful tonight. He likes to cook.
Mother Nature, Lucky you!
Though oblivious of Lammas, I can attest to a delicious soup in my crock-pot made entirely of vegetables from my parents' garden. I guess when you associate with other garden people, you end up celebrating whether you intend to or not!
Maranta, And with the Seattle heat wave, you don't even have to plug in the crock-pot; just cover and wait four hours.
interesting the things we have never heard of.. hope the corn was good. we have been eating more of it this summer.
Wayne, The corn was perfection! What a wonderful corn year it has been.
