The Jewish celebrate a First Fruits. I am not Jewish so I don't know the dates. This is a very descriptive piece,Brian. My poem"Poetry In State Of Development" is an unfinished work about a lighthouse that still stands today but was bombarded during the Civil War. I don't know if I can get the flow that I need to finish it. Thanks for the comments. Sara

There is an old Irish ballad , Brian that you may have heard , many moons ago ,called " The Auld Lammas Fair Of Ballycastle". I have not heard Lammas mentioned , since . PS The vines are a wash-out this year ( Global warming , my butt ) ...
