Nut Spas - August 29
On Honey Spas, you rubbed your beloved with honey. On Apple Spas, you rubbed your beloved with apples. Today, you rub your beloved with nuts.
Yes, we have very good holidays indeed.

Spas - Harvest Festivals

In August, the last month of the summer season, when the harvest is sown, is the time usually spent to celebrate the three holidays called "Spas".

The first "Spas" is called Honey Spas which is celebrated on August 14.
The second "Spas" is called Apple Spas which is celebrated on August 19.
The third one is called Nut Spas which is celebrated on August 29.

Spas brings cold dew to lands and meadows. After the first Spas honey is collected, the second Spas brings fresh fruit and the third one, nuts.

You lounge people make things so dirty all the time.

Those, like me, of a purtian lifestyle refrain.

4. unfortunately yesterday
the cat knocked my nuts off the kitchen counter and my chihuahua ran off with one of them.

She's making a portrait of the baby cheezus on the carpet under my bed and she's got one more eye to go. I have no idea what she did with my nuts but I'm afraid to look under the bed. This may be a full frontal portrait. The cat collaberated on the baby jeebus' hair with a generous hairball late yesterday which completely disappeared sometime between hurreeechhhhing it up and me getting a paper towel and some windex to clean it up.

}(

Actually, I looked under the bed. Was disappointed to find that she had not in fact been working on a multimedia portrait of either cheezus or elvis, and that the dog had in fact, eaten my nuts.
