I really enjoy this annual event and look forward to it every year. In addition to the great wine tasting, Terrace Lakes invites quality artists and Craftpersons to attend the festival. Some of my favorite finds have been wood carvings, willow furniture, quilts, hand dyed fabrics, scented candles and jewelry. Believe it or not, I usually start my Christmas shopping at the Terrace Lakes Wine and Art Festival. It’s tough to think about Christmas in the summer sun, but I’ve had great luck with the gifts I have given from the Terrace Lakes artists. I usually find something special for myself, too.
My favorite part though, is relaxing and visiting with friends and neighbors, meeting new friends and enjoying the wine, music and food. Hope to see you there!

“Log Cabin in the Woods”
Have you ever marveled at Thomas Kinkade’s interpretation of the log cabin in the woods? Tucked away, by itself, in the timber, chinked logs, a cozy covered porch, breathtaking views, a little pond outside the front door, the warm light from the fireplace glow visible through the paned windows?
The magic does exist. It has come to life in the form of a very special property in Garden Valley, Idaho.

You Know You’re In Idaho When….

… Fish and Game Feeds Wildlife at the Local Rifle Range
Yes! It’s true. Visiting the Garden Valley rifle range, binoculars in hand, I was able to get a really good look at the mule deer and elk coming into the Fish and Game Feeding Station.
I wondered why Idaho F&G chose such an unlikely spot to feed wild animals. About that time, Ben, our local Fish and Game officer, happened by. He shared some insight into the F&G strategy. Ben explained that it used to be the habit of the Fish and Game, local wildlife advocates and often, unsuspecting, ranchers to feed the local herds in the winter. Since elk often live to be over 15 years old, generations of animals learned that it was safe to stay in the mountains during severe weather. 
Certain food sources would always be available. For a variety of reasons, including road development and human encroachment, Fish and Game wildlife management thought it wise to encourage the herds to migrate away from the wintry mountains.
For the past eight years the winter feeding programs have been discontinued. More members of the wildlife herds now leave the mountains for the milder valley climate.
But if the plan has worked so well why are there feeding stations in Garden Valley this year? 
Ben pointed out that the feeding stations are all located on the north slopes. That is the south facing, sunny, side. The plan is to coax the wildlife to the north side of the South Fork of the Payette River, where, he explained, winter can be 6 weeks shorter. By now the animals are living entirely on what’s left of their body fat, built up before winter. After our record breaking winter, the fat reserves are running very low. Reducing their winter stress by several weeks could make a difference in the survival of some animals.
Now I know what the guy meant when he told me, “You appear to have wintered well”!
