August, 2008

Happy Lughnasadh, everyone. I’ll spare you the monthly blurb this month. The weather’s beautiful for a change, and we should be out enjoying it. Already the days have begun to visibly shorten, and the back-to-school sales are already happening. Carpe Diem!

This just in: The annual Gathering for Life on Earth, the Vancouver area pagan festival scheduled for the August long weekend, had to be cancelled following the rockslide along the Sea to Sky Highway earlier this week. Reports are that alternate events may be happening in Vancouver. Info: http://www.gatheringforlife.org/

August's Birthdays: Cathie M., Cat T., Raine, and probably some of my Facebook friends.
