A Day in the Life of a Farrier
Farrier. No, not fairy, not furrier, and no, not ferrying boats across a river. Believe it or not, these have each been mistaken when I describe, in my humble opinion, one of the best jobs on the planet.
When Calving and Cold Collide

The Bond Between Mushers, Sled Dogs, and Local Communities
A cold, early morning in the snow-covered mountains is awakened by the sounds of stomping paws; dogs howling, barking, wooing, and bellowing in the frigid temperatures. But the cold doesn’t bother the dogs. They’re happy. They’re excited. And they’re ready to run.

It’s a bargain hunter’s delight. But don’t haggle. The prices are low enough that it's not necessary. And besides, the proceeds go to good causes.
Plotting & Planning
This time of year, with seed catalogs stacked high, a gardener may feel like a kid in the candy shop anticipating the upcoming season. It’s an opportune time to set gardening goals.
