Harvest Time

I love harvest time. Those tiny plants and seeds put into the ground with faith have blossomed and become what the Lord intended.



I found this beautiful harvesting basket on a long prayer walk early one foggy morning. It was no longer wanted by it's previous owner and tossed to the curb with some other 'treasures.' Abandoned and needed a new home. Isn't it beautiful?
I harvested these glorious herbs the day after a much needed rainfall. Some of the treasures include: coneflower, yarrow, tansy, pineapple mint, lemon balm, comfrey, black-eyed susan, rosemary, and dill.


My grandmother, Angie Lee, was a renowned herbalist in her small mountain town. Much of my passion to learn more about the medicinal and culinary uses of the God-given herb has been inspired by her.


I dried all of these herbs by my kitchen fireplace and will transfer them to glass jars for future use. Check back in a couple of days to read my next post which will include many of the ways I plan to use each herb.
I truly serve an awesome Creator.

  1. He is, isn't He!
    Such treasures He has given us...green herbs,
    starlit skies, fragrant flowers of all kinds and colors....
    Of course I could go on and on......

  2. We made it back to Alaska. We had a wonderful trip to North Carolina and back. God brought many wonderful people across our path. Getting to meet your kids and seeing how you are living for the Lord was a huge blessing. We'd love to meet Kent and have whole family visit us in Alaska. I lost your email address somewhere on our 12,800 mile journey. Could you send it to me at paulsueb@ictc.com?
    Love in Christ,
    Susan
