Autumn Equinox and Harvest Moon Celebration







My friend Michelle took most of these photos, though I took the ones of her and Joni hooping.  I need to work on my camera skills.  We had a glorious evening--truly.  We ate autumn foods (the edible gifts of the Three Sisters)--beans, corn, and squash, hooped under the rising harvest moon, had music and wine...the kids played and played, and we made corn husk dolls.  Beautiful.

  1. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. Your night out under the moonlight looks absolutely magical. One day we'll get back to these equinox celebrations like we used to--when the Kiddo isn't in preschool and answering the call of a 7 o'clock bedtime!

    Where did you find the cornhusk doll activity?
    I'm going to peruse your booklist...

  2. Thank you so much! Nice to 'meet' a kindred spirit. :)

    My friend Michelle downloaded a Celebrating Harvest pdf (e-book?) by Waverly Fitzgerald, and the doll activity was in there.
