Granddaddy's Suggestions ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oysters on the Half shell 🦪
It's oyster eating time!
We love oysters on the half shell around here. The best time to eat them is in months that end in "r". Some folks say that you can eat them in any month that has the letter "r" in it. Of course modern food safety and storage practices have likely changed those rules, but we always used the "r" rule for eating oysters when I was growing up in order to avoid serious illness.

Beware The "Dog Days "of Summer!
Dog days are in high gear! They began during the first week of July and will end mid August. Legend has it that the name "Dog Days" comes from the fact that the constellation, Canis Major, with its bright "Dog Star," Sirius, rises 'fore day in the morning during this time of year. Now, there is some debate about how "Dog Days" got its name.
It don't matter though, the point is, this is the worst time of year to get any kinda illness or infection because it takes a much longer time for things to heal during Dog Days; so be careful out there.
Stay tuned, I'll be a guest on an upcoming episode of The Southern Witching Hour Podcast with my daughter, LadyG, to talk more about it .
Sayings and Lore 🧚🏽🧚🏽🧚🏽
Saying "rabbit" 🐇 three times on the first day of the month is thought to bring good luck for the rest of the month.
Watch the birds!🐦⬛ Low flying birds mean bad weather's on the way!
A Word From Madame Hailley
About Madame Hailley
Madame Hailey Hailley (you read that right) is LadyG's great aunt. She describes herself as a prim, proper, Southern woman of a certain age.
You might also find that the adjectives: "creepy" and "nice-nasty," are, indeed, applicable.
Madame Hailley owns and operates a funeral parlor/spa, frequents cemeteries, and travels into the spirit realm to see "what's really going on."
When she is not being her typical shady self, she can be found lounging with her fur baby, a "cat " named Simon, who looks and sounds suspiciously like a Pomeranian.
She is also a guest host on The Southern Witching Hour Podcast.
If you enjoy card readings, be sure to listen to A Reading From Madame Hailley on the podcast. In this series, Madame Hailley offers a weekly tarot reading for you all as a collective.
According to Madame Hailley, her readings are timeless and applicable whenever you find them.
**Readings are for entertainment purposes only, and are released on Sundays.
