I was looking over the web page for the new meat store that will be processing some Barrett Happy Pig for us. I loved their closing line - "Lonsdale Country Market, meating you is our business!"

Winter work - I ran across this photo of the sandhill cranes I stumbled upon hunkered down in a wetland on a breezy day last fall. Although neat, a surprise run-in with a wild animal is always frightening at first. Are you friend of foe - bird or bear?
