Coyotes Can Be Really Good Neighbors

2 weeks ago | earthisland.org | Tove Danovich

Losing Good Neighbors It’s too easy to get rid of creatures we don’t understand. For the safety of all residents and due to an increase in “disturbing coyote encounters,” the animals would have to be trapped and removed, an email from my apartment complex announced last June. Some of my neighbors had been sending emails detailing alarming encounters with the canids.
The Real Cost of Backyard Eggs

2 months ago | businessandamerica.com | Tove Danovich

America is facing a chicken-and-egg problem, although in this case, it’s clear which came first. For months now, people have been disappointed by grocery stores that have run out of eggs or limited the number of cartons per person. In response, some have created a new shortage: Now it’s not just eggs that are hard to come by, but also the chicks that will someday lay those eggs.

One of the (many) problems with medical billing practices

Feb 11, 2025 | wbur.org | Tove Danovich

In January, I got a surprising bill for $249.48 for an ultrasound. The cost wasn’t the part that shocked me — unfortunately it seems like every time I see a doctor I can expect to pay at least a few hundred dollars. But I did a double-take when I saw that the services I was being billed for had been performed in March 2023. Nearly two years later, this was my first bill.
This One Simple Parenting Trick Will Make Weeknights Instantly Less Hectic

Nov 3, 2024 | yahoo.com | Tove Danovich

The One Trick to More Enjoyable Weeknight DinnersDavid Tsay"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." When I was growing up, my job before dinner was served was always to set the table and light the candles. My mom played dinner music—jazz or classical—and my parents and I sat down, by candlelight, to talk about our days.
To Connect with Other Species, You Don’t Need to Look too Far

Oct 22, 2024 | earthisland.org | Tove Danovich

To be rewarded in the natural world, one need only be curious. I’m always looking for birds. In summer, I drift to sleep to the coos of mourning doves and wake to the acrobatic melodies of sparrows. A bald eagle whinnies in a tree outside my apartment drawing me out for an afternoon walk. At the Willamette River nearby, mallard ducks fly in couplets, chirping as they pass. Ospreys circle overhead or fold their wings to drop on an unsuspecting fish.
“Practical Magic” Isn’t Just a Movie-It’s a Sisterhood

Oct 21, 2024 | yahoo.com | Tove Danovich

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." This week, I rewatched the 1998 movie Practical Magic like I do almost every year. I feel the yearning for it start as soon as the temperatures drop and the leaves turn. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen it, and I can’t hear Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut” without dreaming of midnight margaritas. I’m not the only one under the movie’s spell.
We take our dogs everywhere. Maybe we shouldn’t

Oct 14, 2024 | almendron.com | Tove Danovich

The Pacific Northwest is a dog-friendly place, and I see dogs everywhere I go. Dogs run around on tennis courts. They travel on planes. They eat out at restaurants and hit the bars. They go paddleboarding. They even carry the bride’s and groom’s rings at weddings. It’s a vast understatement to say they walk among us. Dog ownership remains close to its pandemic peak — as recently as 2022, 69 million American households had at least one — and it seems that wherever we go, we take our dogs along.
