Rhett and Jennifer Huff's Peaceful Location Accorded Yard of Week Designation

Rhett and Jennifer Huff with their children, Sierra (age 14), Rylan (age 13), and youngest son Trevyn (7) in the front yard of Mountain Air Assisted Living in Payson.

Great serenity can be found in small spaces. The peacefulness that imbues one such space led to Mountain Air Assisted Living in Payson, having been selected as this week's Yard of the Week.

The property is under the care of owners, Rhett and Jennifer Huff. Rhett keeps a constant eye on its needs, spending at least ten hours a week ensuring its maintenance. The front yard is attractively neat. But once one ventures beneath the trellised gate on the south-side, along stepping stones laid in precision, and into the enclosed backyard, the splendor of the space is recognized.

Water trickles in no hurry down a stone fountain, hand-set by Rhett and his father, Ross Huff. The latter owned the assisted living home and property with his wife, Pat, until their son and daughter-and-law purchased it in 2009. A pond was installed at the fountain's base. It once held goldfish, noted Jennifer, but proved to be too much of a temptation for visiting youngsters.

Fish need not be required in the construct of calm. Flowers and foliage and cattails sprout here and about, lending to the welcoming space, one often enjoyed by residents and visitors at Mountain Air Assisted Living.

A soothing pond out back beckons reflection.
