Magnetic North

Vicki with her angora rabbit, Peaches

Contributor(s): 
Vicki Biggs-Anderson
Vicki lives with her husband, Paul, on a nearly 100-year-old homestead in Colvill. She shares this special place with six goats, one guard llama, about two dozen laying hens, a few difficult geese and ducks, seven angora rabbits, a house cat and one yellow Lab. Besides feeding and changing "sheets" for all of the above, Vicki is mining her ten-plus years of columns for the old News-Herald for a book/situation comedy. Listen at your convenience by subscribing to a podcast.
