I used to skip any route that was out-and-back, thinking it was a waste of time. Then I did the High Lake Trail in Oregon last fall. On the way back, I spotted a bear cub I totally missed on the hike up. It made me realize that going both ways lets you see the trail from a new angle. Now I look for routes with out-and-back sections to catch details I might overlook. It's made my trips way more interesting, lol. Who knew hiking the same path twice could be so rewarding?
I started using old coffee grounds in my garden. It's a good way to recycle and help plants grow. Coffee grounds add nitrogen to the soil, which plants need. My roses bloomed more after I mixed in grounds. Just sprinkle them around the base, no need to buy plant food. It saves cash and cuts down on trash. Do you use kitchen scraps for your plants too?
