The first was if my greenhouse could withstand the snow and the long cold winter. Yes, is the answer to that. After I calmed down when I got my greenhouse, Elmer told me how he happened to get the one he did. When he went to buy the greenhouse, he thought all of them were alike. Well he was wrong. There are square ones, round ones, additions to the house and more. He tried to figure who would know about greenhouses. He thought of a couple people that had one greenhouse and then he thought - Jean has three. She should know. So Jean, David and Elmer went to pick it out. They went to the place that David bought Jean's at. David told Elmer they all looked alike to him when he bought Jean's first greenhouse, too. So he finally went home and got her to pick out what she wanted. Elmer said Jean looked at them all. The one she selected for me was the type she selected for herself. Elmer paid the bill and had it delivered to our old farm. How he got that delivered and I didn't know about it is beyond me.
What kind of lavender do I grow and use, The main lavender I grow and use is English lavender, but I also grown French and Spanish Lavender that I also use.
Someone asked what I use some certain herbs for.
Jewelweed - can be used for a yellow dye, poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac, fungal skin, nail infections, ringworm which causes athlete's foot.
Evening Primrose - helps control those with alcoholism, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, reduce cholesterol, immune system, and helps skin.
Coconut Oil - helps prevent liver diease, helps relieve kidney stones, helps prevent excess weight, softens skin, helps control dandruff, helps kill virus,
Melatonin can be found in both animals and plants. I use plants. Melatonin can be found in feverfew, St. John's Wort, rice, cherries. corn, tomatoes, grapes, bananas and more. If you are diabetic - DO NOT use melatonin as it can affect problems. It is used for sleeping, anti-aging, autism, immune system, heart, liver, depression, improve memory in Alzheimer Diease, headaches, mood control.
NOTE: I am not a licensed doctor so please check with your physician before you use any of these herbs. You use these at your own risk.
Another question was will I tell you about John's wedding. I will be glad to. It's funny between Elmer and I as it was kind of hard on us when our first child got married and now our last one is getting married. The last will be moving out of our house - again. The great part is they all live close and we get to see them very often.
We are so glad that we have our children and all 49 grandchildren near us. Elmer can't believe that I can remember whose is whose, their name, age and when their birthday is.
Well I hope that I answered some of your questions. Please feel free to ask questions so I know what to give a post about.
Trust God's Wisdom,
Anna

Good Morning Everyone,
Here is Anna telling us about her green house and answering someone's questions about herbs.
It's a beautiful day today.

Hi Anna, Thanks for all the info! Elmer surely knows how to surprise you! So glad John's feeling fine again+the culprit has been identified. I'm sure everyone is now looking forward to John+Sarah's upcoming wedding.
As to the use of herbs-you are absolutely right in telling people to ask their Dr first. I wish there would be much more research re:medicinal herbs, but there's just isn't. Seems the medical community is afraid of something-probably the possibility of the use of herbals cutting into their profit margin($). Sad really. My husband is a physician and he reads+searches out what info he can to learn more about medicinal herbs+ has done so for years to be as knowledgeable as he can on the subject.
Take care, looking forward to hearing from you again. Blessings, In Christ, Carol
Hi Marilyn, so good to read Anna's post! Was very foggy here earlier+now the sun is shining. Mid 40's to start- should see upper 70's today.
Enjoy your day! Blessings, Carol
BTW- our friends, Paul+Angie, have a website called Shepherds Hill Homestead. They live in Alabama. I think you should be able to see the Harvest moon pic there. They also have a FB page which I think you can click on, see the posts, but not comment on(if that makes sense).
Let me know if you get to see it. Carol
Hi Carol,
Maybe I can get Anna to write a post about how she feels. We have talked and she strongly feels that medicine should look into a more natural way. She has had people that have gone to the doctor for something several times and have come to Anna as a last resort - and she had something to take care of it. I won't go on with all she said because I think she should write a post. Anna does believe in doctors and she does believe in hospitals, but she also believes in "natural" medicine.
Marilyn
Thank you for answering our questions Anna. I'm really looking forward to hearing about John's wedding.
How is your sister doing? Is her house being built?
Doreen
Good Morning Doreen,
I think we are all looking forward to John's wedding. Will see that Anna gets your message.
Anna will have to answer how her daughter is doing, but I do know her house isn't being built. She and her husband moved into the house that Elmer and Anna moved out of. They just made it in to the house before she had the baby.
Marilyn
Hi Marilyn, I was asking about her sister Hannah. I couldn't remember if her house was going to be built right away.
Doreen
Well, God has allowed man to study+research etc to know how the human body works+be able to come up with medicines for man kinds benefit. Herbs were here first though, and I do believe they should not be discounted, but researched thoroughly +used accordingly. Doctors and hospitals are integral parts of each other. You can't have one without the other. Finding a Dr one can trust and with whom to be able to work together for the patients benefit isn't always easy, but I do believe it is important. Take care, Carol
Thank you Anna & Marilyn! It was a very interesting post to read! The green house sounds just wonderful, and what a great surprise!
Hi Everyone,
I will see that Anna gets your messages. Sorry, I got mixed up. Hannah's house hasn't been started yet as they are waiting to sell their General Store and farm before they move to New York. Anna and Elmer would feel better if Hannah and her family were here when they built the house to make sure it is what they want on the inside.
