We’ve been hinting, since Lammas at the start of August, of summer’s waning and autumn’s slow approach, and today we find ourselves unquestionably there, for autumn arrives today in its official capacity in our Northern Hemisphere. 2:19 in the afternoon is the moment here in Lake Worth. In honor of this milestone, we are releasing our newest letterpress printed broadside, which, to be honest, was printed at the end of 2022. Convivio friend Kathleen Maugeri wrote the poem for the broadside in 2022, and I printed it, together with Lionel Zaccardi, on the midwinter solstice that same year. But it is a poem about the end of summer, the shift to autumn, printed at midwinter… it is a project that bridged many seasons. When Lionel and I printed it, suddenly it was Christmas, and then the new year came, and then I tucked the broadsides away on a shelf (a most logical one: a bookshelf), and then the end of summer came again and I couldn’t recall the logic behind where I’d last set the edition of broadsides, and the logic was not revealed again to me until just a few weeks ago. And here we are: end of summer again, “ambling along toward Autumn,” as the poem goes. You may see the project by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Later this evening, once the sun has set, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, will begin. Micah 7:19 reads, \u201cYou will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea,\u201d and you may find people at the water\u2019s edge during Rosh Hashanah, casting bread into the sea, each bit of bread carrying some of those sins. And with dinner tonight: a round loaf of challah, round to symbolize the circle of the year (as one year ends, another year begins), and, of course, apples dipped in honey\u2026 and, with some luck, teiglach, too. L\u2019shanah Tovah.<\/p>\n

At the shop, we had our Hallowe’en Boo Bazaar<\/strong><\/a> this past weekend. Saturday was busy, but the skies opened up on Sunday morning and it did not stop raining until Sunday evening, just in time for a lovely sunset, but not many folks came out because of the weather. I will try my best to schedule another Boo Bazaar for some evening before Hallowe’en, but it gets a bit tough for us this time of year, as already next weekend we will be in Miami at the German American Social Club preparing for Oktoberfest. Last Sunday I taught a pasta making workshop at the shop and gosh, we had the best time. Check out our workshops<\/strong><\/a> page for more opportunities to learn new things. Next up is Gift Basket Making with instructor Deborah Desser on Saturday October 4. If you’re looking for a new side hustle… this might be a great idea for you.<\/p>\n

Happy Autumn to you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
