And in Palin’s home state of Alaska, both dogs and people are taking to the outdoors this week for the opening of the Iditarod, the iconic dogsled race. The race [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March 20 is the first day of spring. It’s hard to believe, since the temperature is supposed to drop to 26 degrees here tonight, but we’re less than three weeks away from that first day of spring. That means garden season is just around the corner. If you’re planning to grow some food this year [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been almost five years since we bought a house. But now, my family may be moving, so we’ve been looking — and because we started gardening five years ago, our housing criteria have changed. 
 Of course, in the past five years, gardening isn’t the only thing about our family that has changed. We’ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So here’s one more reason to buy (or grow) organic foods. A new study published in the International Journal of Biological Sciences found that three different varieties of genetically modified corn caused organ damage in laboratory rats.
 The GM corn didn’t favor one specific organ; it caused damage throughout the body. According to an abstract, [...]]]></description>

And while I certainly don’t want Christmas to be all about buying and getting, I have to admit that finding cool gifts is part of the fun.

You feel like you must serve pumpkin pie because it’s always been done, but you know you’ll be left with most of a pie to be thrown away or fed to the dog. But we [...]]]></description>

And now a new study shows that people who spend more time in the natural environment, as opposed to manmade environments, place greater value on personal relationships and community, and are more generous with money, [...]]]></description>
