Ronan Rahn

Two new arrivals at the greenhouse have added quite a bit of music and merriment to a long winter season of snow and cold. We now have a new canary who is still learning to sing, but is getting better at it with each passing day. By spring he will be warbling at full throat, just as his namesake the Irish Tenor Ronan sings at full throat. He loves attention from customers, and frequently sings with the canary CD we play on occasion during the day. He especially loves to sing in the morning to greet the new day whether there is snow or bitter cold outside. He adds so much joy to the days.
Our second arrival also loves the canary, but for a different reason!


Callie 2

Callie 2 arrived as a Christmas present for Susan, one of A.J. Rahn's owners. Her daughter Mary picked her up from a shelter in Northern Kentucky to help fill the huge void left by Calico, who died just before Christmas as mentioned in the previous blog entry. She is going to have a very big job to fill, and only being a young 6 months, doesn't yet have the dignity of Calico, but she more than makes up for it in energy! Don't let her picture fool you. She only appears to be resting. The minute someone comes in she is up and purring, looking for major attention. When not getting acquainted with customers, she is studying the canary with focused intensity! The canary seems oblivious to all the attention from the cat, and just continues to sing his heart out for anyone who cares to listen. Callie 2 loves to play with her tissue ball, her string toy, and adores being petted by anyone, which causes her purring engine to begin roaring.
Stop in during this cold white season for a warm, colorful, glance at some gorgeous flowers, and visit with our newest members before the busy season begins. Check our web site for hours:
