Our Papillons live in a very social environment, surrounded by the beauty that is around them...

The Garden & Forest 2011 

Our garden is filled with butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.  We have nesting, swallows, starlings, and woodpeckers throughout the yard.  Deer, skunks, racoons, and foxes visit our yard.  We welcome the wildlife and take great care in making sure it a safe place for everyone and every creature. 

I believe a garden should be fun and filled with new memories and memories from our childhood.  I try to reflect some of what is in my own garden back to plants that made up my parents and relatives gardens.  I have hopes the families I know along with my own children will enjoy the garden and plant some of the same plants in their own future gardens.    

The artist eye - A waterfall and pond

I have always wanted to have a beautiful meandering waterfall and pond in my yard, but due to daycare and water features I cannot have one.  I decided to get creative and for the last couple years I have been planting a plants and flowers with hues of blues, purples, pinks, in hopes  it will eventually fill out and look like a cascading flower waterfall and flower pond.  Currently it is a vast green landscape with spots of blues and water reflections but hopefully in a few years it will grow into what my minds eye sees.  Enjoy the photos of the flowers for they are all beautiful in their own individual way.

Our exotic birds, geese and cats growing up, plus Jason 9/10 to present..

As of May 2011 we re-homed our geese and ducks... it was great having them but they were alot of work.  I miss having them around and collecting their eggs.  They are living in a vegetarian home on 15 acres eating the grass and bugs and swimming in a pond in a fenced orchard.  They are also living among two great pyrenees dogs who protect them!  I am very happy with their new owner and environment. 

The geese and kittens arrived between 6/10 to 8/10
