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.
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!
