It is August the 4th.
The sun is shining.
The cattle are lowing.
And you the hearty milk-maid are ready for the kit-dressing.
You have your best kit (pail) and you have wound intricate twigs of willow around the handle and the sides.
Into these you insert flowers, silk and muslin ribbons and other trinkets.
Then you join the procession to the willow tree.
The Kit dressing ritual of August 4th is the inspiration behind the Wyrd Kalendar story "The Weeping will Walk" which you can purchase here.
This also inspired Icarus Peel to create this tune for the August track of the Wyrd Kalendar album.
