This "thread" is supposed to be about Herb BOOKS My 1st great herb book was "Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs" - very informative and has been one of my favorites I have gotten a lot of use out of. Tammi Hartung's "Growing 101 Herbs That Heal" -- explains about making herbal preparations in easy to understand format. One I found at a Garage sale I really like too is: Dian Dincin Buchman's "Herbal Medicine" I also have: Jethro Kloss - Back To Eden; James A Duke, Green Pharmacy; Dr. John R. Christopher's "School of Natural Healing"; "Every Woman's Herbal" with Cathy Gileadi; Petersen Guide: Medicinal Plants & Herbs; Barbara Griggs "Green Pharmacy - the History and Evolution of Western Herbal Medicine" is a great one for historical understanding of how herbs and medicine have evolved thru'out history. A must for a good foundational understanding. Betty Jacob's Growing and Using Herbs Successfully - covers 64 herbs. I also have Mrs. Grieves Modern Herbal vol. 1 & 2 keep in mind this was "modern" when she wrote it but that was a long time ago. Still it remains very informative and considered a classic for the herbal library. Rosemary Gladstar's Family Herbal has sections for men, women, children & elders + beauty and taming stress -contains recipes and instructions for making herbal preparations. Check to see what interests you at your library or online before purchasing. I took a course and obtained several of these books thru'that. But again - for a 1st book on othe introductory level - I really like Rodale's illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs good luck on building your library and your knowledge!

R.I.P. David.Ozzie and Harriet, ah I remember it well. That was when T.V. programing was wholesome and good. Now it is filled with alot of filth. I loved watching Ozzie and Harriet when I was young.

I am sad to hear of his passing. He was such a gentle, helpful person, with a good spirit and I don't think that he had a mean bone in his body. I enjoyed his posts and a visit with him and Cindy, over ten years ago. If you read this, Cindy, I offer my deep condolences. (((((Cindy))))) Would some of you who do Facebook please tell her of the messages of good will and sorrow that have appeared here. People asked for a picture ... and there was a camera right there in the room, but we didn't think to take one! I don't think that my pic had been on the KT earlier. ole joyful

Not to brag but, I can still fit into the same earrings from high school.
