ABOUT THE COVER

The cover is by longtime artist for BHM, Don Childers. You can imagine the couple in the picture probably has plenty of food in the pantry, enough wood for the winter, and of course a generous supply of dog and cat food. It’s warm and cozy inside, while the winter snow falls – a great time to catch up on reading and finishing a knitting project.
