September Prompts

08/31/2020

As September greets us we might find that that long awaited snap of cold is in the fresh morning air, rain and thunder have begun to wrestle with the unrelenting heat of summer and now is when we truly begin the rush of work before winter. Mabon is the equinox, when the days and nights are equal before night takes hold of the northern hemisphere. Celebrate the fading heat, as you collect, stock and store for winter. Its chill will grip the earth sooner then you think.
