HOWL for the Holidays

Hmmm, lookin' for that perfect gift idea? How's about a tax-deductible donation to HOWL?! Why slog through the mall when you can support Open Women's Land? Happy assorted winter festivities from HOWL: P.O. Box 53, Huntington, VT 05462.

A Bumper Crop of Apples

Anya shows off yet another bucket of apples collected from HOWL's trees. With more apple sauce batches to make, it's time to quit lazing about in that lovely Twin Oaks hammock and get back to picking!
