Goldfinches invade sunflower garden, and they’re not alone

Last spring, with water predictions short for the summer gardens, I decided to only plant half a garden, but I planted a row of regular and giant sunflower seeds. It turned into a haven for birds that love sunflower seeds this fall as the flowers dried into seeds. Dark-eyed juncos, Pine siskins, house finches, black-caped chickadees and several species of sparrows showed up to enjoy them, but the American goldfinches showed up en masse. All the birds are in their drab fall colors, with the male goldfinches in their dirty yellow or tan feathers instead of their spring brilliant yellow ones. But...

Little Red Corner In Idaho Is A Dedicated Christmas Store Worth A Holiday Shopping Trip

A shop in eastern Idaho sells chili seasoning packets right beside one-of-a-kind Santas. Somehow, that combination makes perfect sense once you learn what the place is all about.

‘Deceived,’ Episode 1: Two children are missing and no one is talking

IDAHO FALLS — Nancy Jo Hancock, of Mesa, Ariz., could not believe what she was seeing and hearing. She had been watching an episode of “Dateline NBC” while folding laundry when she suddenly saw a picture of Charles Vallow, the man she had briefly dated six months earlier, appear on her TV screen. “And it’s the picture that he used on the dating site, so it’s a very familiar picture to me,” Hancock recalled. “I paused it, and I rewound it, and I listened, and I saw the date.” Now the show’s narrator was saying Vallow had been shot dead by his brother-in-law, Alex Cox — and it had happened the m...

When Snow Arrives, 7 Idaho Areas Open Groomed Trails For Cross-Country Skiing

Near Pocatello, one Nordic center grooms its ski trails seven days a week. Seven!. I love that someone heads out with a groomer before most of us find our coffee. That kind of care shows up across Idaho once the snow sticks. One state park gives skiers a warming yurt in the middle of the trail system.

About 40 to 50 locals from Pocatello to Rexburg made a fantasy film. It premieres Friday

IDAHO FALLS — For movie director Lance Witmer, making movies has always been the dream. He began writing and telling stories as a fourth grader, and he knew he was destined to be a storyteller. Now, his dream is coming to Idaho Falls. The feature film “Tales of Ardenmore” will screen at the Paramount Triplex Theater, kicking off with a public red carpet premiere on Oct. 30. Additional showings will be held Nov. 2-4, all at 6 p.m. “This is something that we made entirely in Idaho Falls and the Southeast Idaho region,” Witmer said. “It’s a collaborative effort of close to 40 or 50 people across the board from Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Rigby, Rexburg, that whole corridor all coming together to try to make this very ambitious medieval fantasy possible.” After graduating from film school in Los Angeles, Witmer and his family moved to Idaho Falls, where he has been working to make his dream a reality. He wrote, shot, directed and edited the film, which is now just days away from its debut. The movie follows Frederick, a squire, and Annika, a peasant girl, as they try to rescue Frederick’s brother, Henry, from an undead sorcerer called the

The Small Idaho Diner Where Regulars Each Have Their Favorite Seat And The Biscuits Are Made In-House

The biscuits here come out big enough to need a fork and a knife, and the kitchen makes them in-house. That alone would justify a drive across eastern Idaho. Then there’s the dining room. Folks seat themselves, and plenty of the crowd seems to know exactly which booth or table belongs to them.

Need a coffee break? This new Idaho Falls shop wants to be your happy place

IDAHO FALLS — For Angela and PJ Estrada, a good cup of coffee is about more than what’s in the mug. It’s about bringing people together, and they’re hoping their new Idaho Falls coffee shop will do just that. The couple opened Justified Coffee + Company at 3630 South 25th East, Ste. 10 in Idaho Falls on Oct. 5. Since the grand opening, they say the turnout has been tremendous and they’re overwhelmed with the amount of support.
