Travel: Puffins share in raising their babies
2026-08-27 - Iceland - Photo by April Shepperd
Writer/Photographer April Shepperd writes, "Mom and Dad Puffins share parental responsibilities and take turns incubating a single egg. Once their chick hatches, the parents dive up to 60 meters several times a day, emerging with a beak full of fish, eel, herring, and other sea creatures to feed the little one. By late August, the Puffins have gone and will remain at sea until the next year. Comments | Permalink

Harriett Gold made this Ding Dong Cake to share with board members of the Adair County Hospital District at her husband Neal’s request. The group gathered for farewells as the office for the Adair County Hospital District was being closed out Wednesday evening. The cake is a great big version of the Hostess snack cake. It’s made with rich chocolate cake layered with a creamy filling. Everyone who tasted it gave it rave reviews and the popular recipe can be found on the Internet. Comments | Permalink
