The winter months can be problematic when it comes to footwear, especially if you live in a wet or snowy climate. Here at the DT offices in the Pacific Northwest, it certainly feels like half the year is ‘rain season,’ which can make dressing for the elements rather difficult. Enter the Tretorn Strala Boot ($60), which is waterproof and will let you traverse the streets without looking like an idiot in full-on galoshes. These low cut boots have all the stay-dry qualities of a classic rain boot disguised in a much more stylish modern silhouette. The boots are a slip-on style and have a rubber traction sole and a fuzzy sock lining to keep your feet warm. Slip them on under your jeans for an incognito way to keep your feet from having to endure the wet and cold weather. Available in black, brown, and olive.

Beyond the Boundary Wire: How Yardcare and the New N1600PRO are Leading the Robotic Mower Revolution
With automated routes and advanced mapping, Yardcare N1600 PRO robot lawn mower is made to meet modern lifestyle with smart precision.
Grass, Lawn, Plant

The weekend morning dread is a real situation, and homeowners know it pretty well. I've often woken up with the realization that the next few hours will be spent toiling with the hum of a petrol engine machine and hours of pushing a heavy mower around the yard. We’ve all been there, sweating under the sun, in our quest to achieve a green carpet that looks fine at best, but rarely ever achieves the work done by an expert. A fully automated solution should address all those problems, but finding a reliable one isn't a cakewalk.

The hassles of setting up boundary wire, mastering the navigation, and requiring constant manual supervision don't really sound like an autonomous dream. But tech is finally catching up, and one of its best specimens is Yardcare’s N1600PRO. The latest from Yardcare ensures that lawn care no longer means non-stop manual effort, but relaxed efficiency. If you're a homeowner who is increasingly leaning toward automation to take care of your yard space, Yardcare is here to help you make that smart shift with the N1600PRO.
