Really natural hard work like 100 years ago in the Bavarian Forest, where I live...
ReplyDeleteI love following along on your trip with you!
ReplyDeleteI have certainly enjoyed your trip through your writings. You reminded me today to take the time to sharpen my tools BEFORE i start any work. good thoughts
ReplyDeleteWhat a special Sabbath Keeping this is. Your trip has been amazing. My fave is that the spinner thinks your spinning is not handmade, but "with a machine." If she only knew....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, Sandra.
Traveling Mercies to you,
Dawn
We forget the actual harvesting is a back-breaking job whether it is harvesting wheat, crops, or souls. Back-breaking it may be, but rewarding beyond measure, especially when one considers eternity.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good harvest and hard work!
ReplyDeleteI love your Romanian photos too! I will be back to study them more!
Thanks for posting a comment on my blog!
Smiles, Cyndi
Goodness~ that is so much work, Sandra! I remember when I was a little girl my daddy use to keep the brush next to the wooods cut back with a sickle... it used to wear me out just watching him!
ReplyDeleteLove the scripture!
What a fascinating trip you must have taken!
ReplyDeleteCame to you via Maryam in Morocco

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you while I was falling asleep last night and just wanted to say I'm praying you had a safe trip home and are safely snuggled in the US now. Can't wait for more updates! :)
