RainierLass, your photos are beautiful. Especially the one towards the bottom that looks like the front of a little cabin. If that is your home, I'm so jealous. & I'm a dog & cat groomer too!
That lil 'cabin' is my garden shed.....my brother and I built it a few years ago....it is 10X14 and houses all my garden tools and the generator which thankfully I haven't had to use yet this year.....it is solid cedar and we bought it as a kit out of British Columbia.....I love it too!
We have alot of Hawks around. The netting is a great thing to have. Its strong and hard to see at a distance. Its almost like its not there. Its worth every penny.
