How is your imagination? Can you turn the raw dirt look into something pretty? Do you know where to start and how to do it?

Landscaping ... it is an art in itself but also a very hard work.

A couple of years ago I met Jim Garrett from Tuttle Oklahoma. A very gifted lanscape designer and a great person to work with. Jim listens and listens to what you have in mind, to what you imagine the project to look like and then he asks a lot of questions and .... goes to work. First behind a drawing board. Schetches and drawings, cost breakdowns, choices, advise etc...

Jim is in the landscape business for over 17 years. He is an owner of the Natural Look Water Features and Swimming Pools in Tuttle, Oklahoma which is the suburb of Oklahoma City.

You can admire his work all over OKC metro.  One of his projects is located in Yukon, Ok at the new house addition of River Mesa. The lates of his creations is located at the Norman Regional Hospital.

Need a reliable and talented landscaper who will take your project from A to Z?

We all love our four legged friends...and our hearts break when they get sick. Since we cannot talk with them it is so hard to guess what is wrong and what we can do about it.

But there IS a special kind of a person who actually is capable to 'speak' with them ... a VETERINARIAN.

For years my dogs and my friends horses were entrusted to Tony Epperson's care. Tony Epperson, DVM is a compassionate and dedicated veterinarian. He has been practicing veterinary medicine for almost 30 years. Most of them in Canadian County. It takes a lot of special skills and expertise to treat sick animals. It reguires quick assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Tony Epperson has it all...

The West Yukon Animal Hospital is located on Main Street in Yukon, Oklahoma. The clinic is a friendly place with very helpful assistants. Every time when one of my animals needs help I can count on Tony to return my calls and take care of the problem.

It is not fun to be in the hospital and this goes for us people and animals...but there is someting about this place that puts me at ease and I believe it is the compassion and professionalism which Tony Epperson shows on daily basis.

And you know what? My hunting dog JOSEY and my little Dixie Lou can definitely testify to that.

So whenever your four legged friend needs medical help give Tony a call at: 405-354-1946

This afternoon I was browsing on the Internet and read an article featured in today's NewsOK about my town of Yukon, Oklahoma.

There is no new 'discoveries' given in it but it is always nice to read good stuff about my community. For the last few years Yukon experienced a tramendous growth. And of course with it, it attracts more and more residents and business.

Just a few days ago I wrote 10 Top Reasons to Live in Yukon, OK in my blog.

Yukon is growing but it still has that feel of a small town, which is really appealing to lots of people. "Part of the city’s growth has come from the decades-long movement to the suburbs. But Yukon City Manager Jim Crosby said residents also appreciate the city’s "small-town atmosphere” and easy access to shopping and transportation in nearby Oklahoma City."

Here is the article in its entirety:  "Yukon keeps drawing new residents. Population 'Small-town atmosphere' is appealing..."by Paul Monies
