Our Mabon Celebrations

 

We celebrated Mabon, Autumn Equinox, the first day of Autumn on September 22nd.
 Mr H was at work during the day so we didn't get our usual walk, however I was lucky to open the curtains in our bedroom at 7.15am to a spectacular sight of a quadruple (?!) rainbow!
Of course I went outside to stand in the rain and made some little friends, then spent some time writing a thank you note to the lovely ladies at my favourite store.
As the day passed, the sun really came out and as our Sunflowers had finally opened I went outside to photograph them.
When Mr H got home (with flowers!) I decorated our alter and we buried our last Oranda, Bruno.
Yes, we did lose his brother and another of our girls on the last special holiday (Our Lughnasadh) so this felt like such a weird parallel and a very sad end of an era. 
To end out the day we had our Mabon meal, enjoyed in the candle light.
