In some parts of the world, August 1 is called “Lammas” or “loaf mass” day, an event dating back to the Anglo Saxon times to celebrate the first harvests and a time to bake that nice first loaf of bread. It’s a handy day in between the summer solstice and fall equinox. There is an ancient Celtic variation: “Lughnasadh” which similarly celebrates the beginning of the harvest season. So enjoy some fresh baked bread, pick a pretty flower or strawberry, and celebrate a beautiful day.
