Stones painted as strawberries when put around strawberry plants in the spring will keep birds from eating your berries because the birds will think the ripened berries are stones. More information

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ripe avacado
- 2 large or 3 medium bananas – frozen, chopped into pieces
- 1/4 c cocoa powder
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp maple syrup [optional]
- 2-3 Tbsp cacao nibs, shelled and crumbled [optional if you want choc chips in your ice cream]
METHOD
Blend banana, avocado and salt using a food processor or immersion blender until thick and smooth. Stir through cocoa powder with a spoon until well combined. Add syrup if using. Stir through cacao chips if using.
Pour into a wide flat dish or container and place in freezer. Stir well every 30 minutes or so, breaking up frozen edges and mixing until smooth. Do this approximately 4 times. Alternatively use an ice cream maker, following manufacturer instructions.
Set out for 15 or 20 minutes to soften slightly before using, it is easier to scoop this way. Sharing is optional.
COOK’S NOTES
- The avocado adds fat [good fat, not bad fat] and creaminess. Make sure to use a ripe avocado that doesn’t have stringy brown bits. No one will ever know it’s in there unless you tell them.
- The bananas however can be as brown as you’d like, the riper they are before you freeze them the sweeter they will be.

Bye-Bye Coffins! These Organic Burial Pods Will Turn You Into A Tree When You Die
It basically works like this… first the body is encapsulated in a fetal position and then buried, and either a tree seed or an actual tree is planted above the capsule. You would even pick the type of tree you want to become, just as you would get to choose your very own coffin for a normal funeral.
THE CAPSULE WOULD THEN BE PLANTED IN SOIL LIKE A SEED
The pods are made from a starch plastic which does not prevent the natural decomposition of the capsule and allows the organic matter to transform into minerals, that will provide the earth with nutrients for vegetative organisms. Essentially, these pods will transform cemeteries in forests……
ONCE THE PODS AND TREES ARE PLANTED, IT’S CREATES A “MEMORY FOREST.”
This is actually still a concept since Italian law prohibits this sort of burial – but if it does proceed, there would be an entire memorial park of trees rather than tombstones. You would then be able to visit and care for the tree of your loved one. There are actually places in the US and in England where this type of burial is legal… we’ll just have to wait and see if this catches on in other places around the world.
JUST IMAGINE HOW DIFFERENT FUNERALS WOULD BE

I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn’t granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own! , but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
