Nature offers her gifts for our nourishment. Whether helped along by hands in a garden or chicken coop, or a farmer in a field, orchard or dairy or by a patient beekeeper, we benefit from Her gifts.
When one of her offerings finds its way to your plate, enjoy a moment to appreciate the source and savor the taste.
A friend added this to her comment on another post. It fits so perfectly with the intent of this series of images, I had to share it again.
‘This reminds me of a poem or prayer depending on the way you think of it. Google attributes it to Alice Corbin Henderson and this is the version they quote:’
“The silver rain, the shining sun,
The fields where scarlet poppies run,
And all the ripples of the wheat
Are in the bread that I do eat.
So when I sit at every meal
And say a grace, I always feel
That I am eating rain and sun,
And fields where scarlet poppies run.
Jeanne”
