Last week we celebrated Michaelmas. This festival is all about courage, bravery and heroic deeds and is a perfect analogy for the soul strength we need to get through the long, dark, cold winter.
I didn't get too many pics (having too much fun actually DOING!) but here are the few I did capture.
We picked the last of the blackberries in the sunshine and Kaiya found this woolly friend
We read Saint George and the Dragon and made Dragon Bread. Almonds for the spikes and teeth!
Dinner was cozy chili and bread with blackberry jam
We also dyed silk capes with yellow dye to make "capes of light." The kids had fun reinacting the scenes from the book (especially the part where the dragon falls into the blackberry bushes) with their capes and (invisible) swords.
How was your Michaelmas?
