Why these picks
Living a more hands-on life means noticing the small stuff before it becomes a big problem. Sometimes we get so caught up in the harvest that we forget about the dirt it grew in. Other times, we ignore a leaky faucet until the floor is ruined. It’s all connected, isn't it?
This week, I’ve pulled together some stories that remind us how to slow down. One looks at the tiny life forms in your garden soil, while another shows how simple repairs can save your sanity.
