Positive Talking Points, Poetry Book Reading, Storytelling
- Once again the earth has produced her increase. The harvest of grain is drying, ready for feed and bread, the harvest of roots in part is lifted, in part awaits the lifting.
- The arms, to protect loved ones, to embrace, to till the soil
- Yet the vineyard’s ruby treasures, Brighten Autumn’s sob’rer time.
- The harvest of the vine, the grape, the pea, the bean, the harvest of the bush, the gooseberry, the currant, the raspberry, the harvest of the tree, the plum, the apple, the pear, are now in part gathered, in part ripening.
- We have enough, we have labored to produce the food we enjoy, we have labored that we might have means to purchase the food we enjoy.
- Thanksgiving Harvest Appreciation for:
- Seeds: We bring the harvest of seeds for next year’s crops.
- Grains: We bring the harvest of our cornfields.
- Goats & Cow Products: We bring the produce of our dairies, together with wool.
- Honeybees: We bring the harvest of our hives.
- Fruits: We bring the harvest of apples and pears and the fruits of bush and
hedgerow. The tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and vine yield their strength.
-
Vegetables & Root Crops: We bring the harvest of vegetables.
-
Flowers & Vineyards: We bring the harvest of flowers and of vineyards.
