We had fun with this issue!  There is so much inside and the cover is stunning too.  Everything from culinary delights, gardening tips, medicinal treatments, tea blends, Bigfoot(s), and puzzles - and more!  As always, I'm amazed how the magazine falls together full of a cornucopia of marvelous information.
Here's the cover and table of contents.  If you aren't a subscriber now, you're missing out.
