The Writings of Virtuous Maidens

Farming during the Early Church time period

Posted in Hannah, the Sweet
My sister, Lois, was reading to me about farming in Rome. We don’t live in Rome but I liked to learn about it anyway. She read to me about sheep, goats, and horses. She also said about pigs.
   
   Olives
To get olives, men used sticks to knock them off the trees.  When they pressed the olives it made oil. 

   Honey
I also learned about bees and honey (because the Romans didn’t have sugar, they used honey to make stuff sweet).
    Bye, Hannah

That is very interesting, Hannah. Did you know that we live pretty close to Israel and we have some of those things? For instance, figs grow all around our house (they are in season right now and ripe) and we eat lots of olives as well. Olives are very common here. Some of our neighbors still keep their animals (cows, etc.) underneath their houses like people used to do in those days.

With you on the Quest,

What Our Country Needs

What does our country need? Not armies standing with sabers gleaming ready for the fight; Not increased navies, skillful and commanding, to bound the waters with an iron might; Not haughty men with glutted purses trying to purchase souls, and keep the power of place; Not jeweled dolls with another vying for palms of beauty, elegance, and grace, but we want women, strong of soul, yet lowly with rare meekness, born of gentleness; The woman whom all-little children bless; Brave, earnest women, helpful to each other, with finest scorn for all things low and mean; Women who hold the names of wife and mother far nobler than the title of a Queen.
