Ideas and information about living your best life Up North
Last week while we were on a walk around our lake, this endangered species posting caught my eye and I thought I’d find out what I could. As usual, I may be “the last one to the party” on this topic. I’ve been known to be living under a …
I’m constantly frustrated at the scrappy appearance of our lawn. Dave likes that “cabin grass” look and I want a plush lawn to squish under my piggies. Since I’m not in charge of our exterior life at home, my vote doesn’t count. But alas, we discovered something very cool about our “lawn”. One day after …
