Throwing away coffee grounds is the stupidest thing you can do. It is an invaluable help at home and in the garden,

Throwing away coffee grounds is a mistake, as they have multiple uses both at home and in the garden.
Coffee grounds, rich in potassium, act as a natural fertilizer, improve plant resistance and are excellent for compost.
Additionally, coffee grounds attract earthworms, benefit the soil, and repel pests such as slugs and moles.
At home, coffee grounds absorb odors and can be used to freshen the refrigerator and other areas, mixed with essential oils for a pleasant aroma.
They also serve to cover scratches on furniture, darken hair naturally, soften hands, and maintain the color of dark clothes in the washing machine.
One-Line Summary: Coffee grounds are a valuable resource in the home and garden, offering benefits as a natural fertilizer, pest repellent, and deodorizer.

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...
