Lois Lenski was born the fourth of five children in Springfield, Ohio, on October 14, 1893. She visited parts of Mississippi County while researching her three books about Arkansas children: Cotton in My Sack, Houseboat Girl, and We Live by the River.



For more information visit her blog at Lenski wrote and illustrated children’s books throughout her career of more than fifty years. She lives with her husband and three children on a 12-acre hobby homestead in the beautiful Carolina Piedmont. Lindy Mayberry Sel lers is an author, entrepreneur, podcaster, pioneer wannabe and enthusiastic seeker of knowledge. That’s the news from the homestead, see you next week. The class is limited to 12 people, and the spot is reserved upon payment. We will have guest spea kers and demonstrators too. After lunch, we will make a Healing Herbal Salve with Comfrey & Plantain that is good for bug bites, bee stings, rashes and other skin irritations and a luxuri ous herbal body cream.You will go home with four tinc tures, a jar of salve, a jar of herbal cream, handouts and a full belly. We will make Lemon Balm Tinc ture for relaxation, Valerian Tincture for Sleep, Gol denrod Tincture for sea sonal allergies and a natu ral cold and flu remedy call ed Master Tonic. Come out and spend a beautiful autumn morning at Sweet Harvest Homestead and learn how to make a variety of medici nal herbal tinctures. God gave us a plethora of healing plants that are all around us if we only take the time to learn about them. We can use an effective and much more gentle approach with herbs. It is my belief that we are overmedicating our bodies with pharmaceuticals that cause way too many terri ble side effects. Our first being on Saturday, Octo ber 8th- Medicinal Tinctu res, Herbal Salves & Loti ons 10:00 -1:00. We are excited to be offering a series of work- shops here at Sweet Har vest Homestead.
