Lithuanians celebrate October 5 as the Festival of the Old Woman. They make an old woman doll out of the last sheaves of grain from the harvest. The doll is kept safe through the winter so as to keep the spirit of the grain alive until replant-ing in the spring. What spirit do you need to sustain through the winter? Make a doll from bits of your garden, driftwood from the beach where you spend your summer, or maybe a cord from your sail. Decorate it with ribbons and flowers, and store it safely through the winter.
