Festival of Lugh, harvest and of bread

wheat awaits harvest

straw ready to bale

stubble and gleanings

hedgerow

hedgerow oak

butterflies in clover

first loaves fresh from the oven

Although most of the grain above is wheat, there is also rye in the bread, and the harvest around here is also of barley and oats.

This link goes to a couple of versions of the John Barleycorn song ...

'though personally I prefer the version that asserts that "the hunt sabs they can't fox the hunt without John Barleycorn"

Wassail!
