Brand new year, same old challenges?
Here we are, first week of January, clouds of holiday tissue finally swept from beneath our feet. A Christmas ornament, dropping from a dehydrated branch, plops on the rug, rolls hollowly onto the hearth. New Year's resolutions tap us on the shoulder, reminding us of our newly-minted vows. Get organized. Drop those Christmas pounds. Bring the budget back into check.

Grizzly bears, pronghorn, elk, and beaver were regular and common sights. At each equinox, the skies were dark with migrating waterfowl.
