Homeschooling from the Heart The Best Harvest All right, we admit it. For most of us, the bounty of the harvest we celebrate in November comes from the grocery store. The Pilgrims would never recognize our "harvest"--canned, prepackaged, pasteurized, and processed--as bearing any resemblance to theirs. Not long before their harvest made it onto the table, it was either still growing or still flying around in the woods of their backyards. Their harvest was the culmination of months of ceaseless prayer, backbreaking labor, and skillful hunting.  Does that mean our "harvest" has any less value than theirs did? Not at all!
