Yesterday was the Day of the Autumn Harvest/Mabon/Fall Equinox. September 22nd marked the day where the day and night are equally divided. I spent the day nuturing and loving my Plants as I repotted them. The Herbs and Pineapple are doing great. Jasmine & I went across the street to Crystal Beach to collect some Shells & Sand to Renew the replace the Sand and Shells I have in the Earthenware container that sits next to my door. In the other terra cotta planter I have Rosemary. I picked a few Avocados from the tree along the fence as they are just coming into season now. It's so nice of this wonderful Tree to provide me fruitful nourishment through the Fall months.
For my little feast I roasted a Cornish Game Hen with Rosemary, baby Carrots, & Red Potatoes, homemade Applesauce , one of the Avocados sliced, and cinnamon sugar cookies (Snicker Doodles). On the table I placed cinnamon candles that I pulled from the cupboard along with my little corn husk men and purple and orange Indian corn along with a couple of Miss Tree's fruit, lite the Candles and and put some Orange Oil in the tart burner. A small alter which was so nice to reflect upon my life the past year and the changes that have taken place....I gave thanks for friendships, the plants that grow so naturally for me, and the Animals I nurture. I ate my little feast of Mabon as I felt closer to Mother Earth and at Peace.

For this Northeasterner picking avacados from a tree sounds like a fantasy. D

I celebrated by going to a local apple orchard and buying some fresh apples. Enjoy your night.

What a peaceful, lovely way to bring in the change of the season. Wow, how nice to have an avocado tree handy. It costs me well over $4 for one or two avocado's that are probably weeks old. Hugs, Chris
