Though many might not realize it, Idaho is a very special place and would do a lot to surprise when it comes to activities, events, destinations, and just things to do in general.

Humans are not alone on this world. We are surrounded by a vast and diverse biosphere of more animals, insects, and plants than you can imagine or comprehend. A lot of the country has sort of forgotten this as people have moved into cities and away from the wilder parts of the United States, but most of us still have a strong connection to the animal life that we used to be so intertwined with.

You put so much time and energy into making something grow and when it does start to sprout and lift itself up from the ground there is no better feeling.

Gardening is a labor of love and the labor part is definitely a key component to being successful in any capacity. People go around talking about the green thumb…

If you are anything like me, one of the simple pleasures you get out of life is enjoying the stars or moon and imagining all of the distance between you and there. The moon is more than 200,000 miles away and still dominates our sky whenever there are no clouds to get in the way. The world we live on is fantastic and the skies above are part of what makes that so true.

If you live in a city, you might never have the opportunity to discover the stars above unless you really try. That is one of…
