Lughnasadh is nearly upon us. This morning as I walked into work the Farmers’ Market was full of people taking advantage of the bounty of first harvest. Soon summer will pass and Autumn will arrive, the air will begin to cool, winter squash and potatoes will fill the market and the coffee pot will be set to brew…
