Question everything.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t accept everything you hear, especially from the mainstream media sources.&nbsp; They have an agenda, and it is not your well-being.&nbsp; Follow the money, that is their bottom line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Do good.&nbsp; Be good.&nbsp; There is great reward in doing the best you can, and there will similarly be negative consequences for acting out your lower impulses.&nbsp; Most of all, question everything! Calm situational awareness can save your life.&nbsp; Emotional knee-jerk reactions can create disaster. <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pied_Piper_of_Hamelin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Don&#8217;t follow the rats over the cliff!<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tmpl-blog-12 boldgrid-section dynamic-gridblock\">\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-bottom: 3px;\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\">\n<h3 class=\"color2-color\">The Garden Update September 19, 2021<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_211\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-211\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-211 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/findingmywayhome.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_9985-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/findingmywayhome.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_9985-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/findingmywayhome.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_9985-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/findingmywayhome.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_9985-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/findingmywayhome.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_9985-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/findingmywayhome.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_9985-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brand new purple and green kale with last year&#8217;s chives and some marigolds next to the porch.
