The Leaves

Finally, the Poke Berry leaves! They are even prettier than the berries! I have not changed or brightened the color, this is what they actually look like. Not all of them look like this, for some reason. Quite a few just turn brown and shrivel up. But there are plenty of this kind as well.






 “Not a tree in God’s garden was in the same class of beauty. I made it beautiful, a work of art in limbs and leaves, The envy of every tree in Eden, every last tree in God’s garden.’”

Ezekiel 31

Pokeweed are toxic, so you have to be super careful - it can even be absorbed through the skin. However, we have smushed the berries to allow the boys to paint with it before. They know not to get it near the mouth and wear gloves and use paintbrushes. It makes a gorgeous purple paint though!
