Some favorite pictures


I caught this double rainbow several years ago..
looks like early spring from the look of the trees.

Moonbeam coreopsis.
Coneflower.
Woodland flox,
( I know that is not how you spell it,
but I am having a senior moment ).
Corrections welcomed!

My nephew Stephen came over to help me get mulch down in my flower beds. What a great help he was. Here he is taking a well deserved break with Pepper. Pepper was not as much of a helper...she kept dropping her tennis ball in the middle of the mulch for one of us to throw...

I stopped counting the number of carts we filled with WEEDS!!!

New member of the pack!

Fargo has arrived... That is the name Garland & I finally arrived at....Carol & I drove 3+ hours to Rixeyville, VA to pick him up on Monday 4/25 from Bridget.She has been raising border collies for over 20 years. She has such a wonderful kennel. Fargo had a good trip home.
No vomiting accidents!

We picked him from his litter because of the unusual white design on the back of his neck.
sort of a zigzag....hense his kennel name Zoro.

So far he and big sister, Pepper are getting along great..

just need to convince Wilhelmina the cat that he is OK!

In just about 4 weeks we will bringing home
another member of the Newton/Fensterer house hold.
This sweet little guy is a border collie and will be the little brother to Pepper,
our 9 month old female border collie.
We haven't decided on a name yet. We want to wait and see what his personality is like.
He comes from the same breeder, Faith Ridge Border Collies as Pepper.
They are located in Rixeyville, Va.
Bridget is wonderful to work with. She has such beautiful dogs.
