Painting the Harvest House

We spent last Sunday beautifying the Harvest House. The words inside were inspired by a song we often sing:

Love the Earth, Love the Sky, Heat of Fire, Drop of Water, I can feel it in my body, In my spirit and in my soul. 

Adamah, V'shamayim, Chom Ha'aish, Tzil Ha'mayim, Ani Margish Zoat B'goofi, Ruchi, V'nishmati

Deadly Night Shade - In the Solanaceae family, also known as the night shade family which include tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. The leaves on the deadly night shade plant looks like a tomato plant. The berries are very poisonous.

 

Note: Please let me know if any of this info is incorrect. It's what I remember from my 90 minutes class on plant families.
