I know it has been almost two months since I last posted and just realized recently that I have worried some of you about how April and I are doing. I forget in the business of life how not everyone is around us each day or week (at church) that knows how things are. For that I apologize and thanks for the loving concerns in the messages you have sent to check up on us.

It was a year in September since my last cancer radiation treatment. I have had 3 separate scans since then and I am (praise God!) cancer free. Currently there are some challenges to be healed from but more on that as time allows.

The good news is how busy we have been and we only have one more week at market. I have been able to help this year and my energy levels are increasing. In fact after market I suspect they will be much better as that is still hard work for both of us. But to give you an idea it has been a good market season and to touch base and minister to many good old and new friends.

So please stay turned. I have almost got the first draft of two books done. One is a Christian Sci-fi that is actually is shaping up quite nicely and the other is one I have been working on for years that is non-fiction called "The Prompting". I have a wonderful retired English teacher to be my editor so just maybe they will be worth a read.

So again my apologies if I have you concerned. We are doing well and I am blessed beyond my worth to have such good friends and loving family around me. More to come as I get back to the habit of being on social media each day.

Please read this carefully. I want to help prevent loss to scammers who have gotten very sophisticated with the way they are stealing from our bank accounts. We are in the process of recovering from what seemed to be a call from the bank and instead it was a scam.

1. If you get a report of a bad charge on your text message, go to your bank. Do not respond yes or no about the charge. Go to your bank and check in there. The scammers now can check into your account with response to those text messages and start the scam.I would say this will prevent it from going further.

2. Security questions that are asking you to confirm personal information are simply gathering ID theft information. Do not confirm with answers involving your partial SSI, address, and DOB. If at the bank they know you and will simply ask to see your ID.

3. If it seems wrong, don't do it. You will find they can check your account information. They can tap into your phone. They can see your balances in your account even as you might move money around. Again go back to step 1. Handle these types of charges at your bank.

Now that you have an idea how easy it can be, even if you think you are being careful, take the next fraud class that your bank has available. If you are nervous about a "bank call", tell them you will handle it at the bank in person. They may tell you that might make it impossible to get your money back from the false charge. However, it will prevent them from getting your money and any information that will later be used for identity theft.

Our next step will be to change the account, lock down our credit, and pray we get that money back. Keep us in prayer as there was over $3000 involved.

Easiest hack.... buy a few herb starts... if they are already in 4 inch pots leave them and just set them in a bucket on gravel along with other herbs. No work, cheap and easy to keep watered. IF they are in tiny start containers, replant them into bigger pots you reuse in your herb bucket and when they get past their prime.. replace them as the season progresses...

We got in our new Blue Alpine Freeze Dryers yesterday and have it up and running already. It feels good to do business with a company located in Idaho. Our 4 Patriots FD didn't last a full year and they gave us a refund rather than trying to fix it. We applied the refund to our purchase and are very happy with what we see in the setup and running of our new one. And there is comfort in knowing that the factory is only a few hours away if repair is needed.

So I just got fact checked on a post about if you find yourself in the middle of a possible heart attack. So here is the text it advised me is the truth:

Real heart attack advice
A heart attack happens when there’s a sudden loss of blood flow to a part of the heart muscle. It can lead to the heart being seriously damaged.

The symptoms of a heart attack vary. They can include sudden pain or discomfort in the chest that doesn’t go away, and this may spread to the arms, neck, jaw, back and stomach. The person may feel sick, sweaty, light-headed or short of breath. Less commonly there may also be a sudden feeling of anxiety or lots of coughing or wheezing.

However it’s possible to have a heart attack without all these symptoms.

The NHS describes the signs of a heart attack as “chest pain, pressure, heaviness, tightness or squeezing across the chest”.

A heart attack is a medical emergency, so if you think you or someone else is having one, the priority is to call 999 for an ambulance immediately.

The Facebook posts also seem to confuse a heart attack and a cardiac arrest. During a heart attack, the person will be in pain but conscious and breathing. In a cardiac arrest, the heart stops suddenly and without warning, leading to the person quickly losing consciousness.

The posts mention CPR, which stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and is used in cases of cardiac arrest to keep the heart pumping blood around the body until emergency help arrives. A heart attack can lead to a cardiac arrest if it goes untreated.

A systematic review of alternative methods of CPR conducted by the University of Warwick and published in February 2021 found that so-called “cough CPR” offered “no benefit in saving lives”.

The British Heart Foundation publishes advice on how to do CPR correctly.

Haven't posted on the side of things for a while now. Sorry we have been busy trying to keep up with just going to market. The good news is that market is growing and we are selling out on a regular basis.

The bad news is that we are not doing home delivery this year. Announcing that brings me great sadness as I enjoy bringing our offerings directly to your door. Over the years that has brought many friendship.

However this year I have been diagnosed with cancer. We are still in discovery phase of that diagnoses and it has given me an idea why my energy is so very low. We together will not have the time and energy to do the farm, market, and deliveries.

This may change next year, or we may just work on shipping and market for our future sales. I can say we will do our best to serve our wonderful customers.

Come see us at Eagle Saturday Market. It opens at 9 am and goes until 2 pm. It is the best way to show your support. Thanks for all of you and be blessed.
