Welcome

“The God said, ‘Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.’ And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:11-12)

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m glad you stopped by. And I hope you decide to stay awhile. Below is some information to help you navigate my site, if you’ve a mind.

If you’ve been visiting awhile, welcome back! It’s great to see you again. The information below is probably old news to you, but I have been giving the site a little bit of a remodel so feel free to check out all the changes if you’d like.

So, what is The Herbal Hare Tomestead and Animal Sanctuary? Well, we’re not much of a sanctuary yet…at least not officially, though that is a future goal. If you click on the tab labeled “The Dream”, you’ll learn more about that.

“Tomestead” instead of homestead because yours truly is both a writer and a librarian, who also homesteads and preps. “Tome”, as I’m sure you already know, is another word for book. If you want to know more about who I am and what I do, click on the tab labeled “The Author”. You can also find a hyperlink (“Home”) to my author’s page, a separate website dealing with all things writing and reading.

Herbal Hare because a.) I’m a certified herbalist and b.) my first rescues were bunnies. I absolutely adore them!

The icon below, and featured throughout the site, is a caricature of my first English angora bunny, Jillian, holding a dandelion in her mouth with a honey bee buzzing overhead. Though I don’t have any honey bees at the moment, I have been a beekeeper in the past…and plan to be again.

For those of you who have been here awhile, I’ve added a tab entitled, “The Herbs” that contains hyperlinks to every post I’ve done to date on specific herbs. It’s a great way for both of us to find the information we’re looking for (and for me to keep straight what I’ve already done so I don’t repeat myself!). There are also some links to some how-to pages on preparing the herbs.

Lastly, “the Blog” is pretty self-explanatory.

PS Though it’s not part of the name, this is a faith-based blog, website, homestead–life!

God is. And that’s enough. You don’t have to be a believer to visit, or to stay awhile, but I won’t stop prefacing each post with a line or two of Scripture. If you’ve landed here, maybe it’s not by accident…but I won’t press you.

May God bless you & keep you!
