Field Work

August finds my fellow field workers and I in the middle of sunflower harvest. 

 
While the bees bustle about doing their pollen-nectar-honey thing...


...I'm gathering sunflowers, calendulas, and marigolds...


...for making my Sunny Honey goat milk soap.

"One of the remarkable characteristics of young wild sunflowers, in addition to growing in soil that is not hospitable, is how the young flower bud follows the sun across the sky. In doing so, it receives life-sustaining energy before bursting forth in its glorious yellow color. 
Like the young sunflower, when we follow the Savior of the world, the Son of God, we flourish and become glorious despite the many terrible circumstances that surround us. He truly is our light and life." ~Quentin L. Cook
