What do you do when a truckload of plants arrives several weeks ahead of schedule and you don’t have enough hands to get them planted in a timely manner?

You throw a party, of course—a planting party.

Pet owners beware! If pets aren’t leashed, you can be fined

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/07/2017 - 12:49

Cats and dogs need exercise as much as their human owners. But before you think about opening your front or back door and letting them roam free, know this: Both the City of Elkader and Clayton County have ordinances that prohibit allowing pets to run “at large.” In other words, if your pet sticks his or her paws outside your yard, it better be on a leash.  If it’s not, you could be fined.

When I get the question, “how does one become a naturalist,” I usually say “I’ll let you know when I find out.” But for a more serious answer, I can actually point to one singular moment.
