The peak of summer. What a beautiful time of year.
The colour, warmth and depth of nature is in full splendour.
We begin to process the fruits of our labour.
Process, preserve, ferment and create.
It's a time to capture the sun in your food. To hold it tight and carry forward as the nights slowly begin to draw in.
It keeps me steady, grounded and offers a sense of safety to be with the seasons. To be nature as we all are.
Blessed Lammas, joyful summer and happy harvest time!
