Well, it's Labor Day weekend, the official end of summer, though I have a feeling it won't actually feel like the end of summer for quite some time. A cooler summer usually means a very nice fall. The Ring of Fire is this weekend too, so we'll all be heading up to my grandmother's to watch it. We live right next door to her, but her house is higher up on the hill, so there's a clear view of the lake from her house. This year, however, the corn across the road is extra tall due to all the rain. Not sure how much of the ring we'll be able to see this year.
Labor Day is usually the last big summer picnic for people, so this week's project is something to do with all those extra shells if you happen to have clams this holiday. Clamshells make great tea lights. The shells are thick and sturdy and they usually sit well all by themselves. If they're made with beeswax, they'll usually burn 10-20 minutes depending on the size of the shells.
