Drum roll, please, for the newest member of the Harry family...

Harry was not amused at having to share "his" lounger.

"HaHaHa...I wiped that smirk off his face!" LOL No puppies were harmed in the taking of these photos!

Finally, everyone fell asleep.

He didn't really want to share his porch step, either. They were both sitting in the same pose, until I tried to take the picture. The worn out storm door will be replaced. The storm flap to the doggie door froze and shattered. Gotta love North Dakota.

Wes is enchanted, too. He and Sam both fell asleep in the recliner.

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH Caroline......how incredibly sweet Sam is!
Harry does NOT look happy to be sharing! They look like they will be best buddies soon, though!
Congratulations!!!!

Beautiful pictures. I am sure Harry will be a good big brother. The third picture looks as if Harry just gave Sam his first lesson. I think the picture of them both asleep shows that they already have some measure of trust. Lots of fun and games in your house from now on. Beth

Anyone Growing Peaches in the far north??
Q

Peaches were great this year. The spring was long and cold and the end of summer was dry, for me. I have one tree with peach bore. I will probably remove that tree. All the peach trees set fruit so I was eating peaches a long time this summer. The nectarine tree set two fruit and the japanese beetles ate so much of them I threw them away. I need to start training the trees to the stakes I will be tying them to. It looks like a long fall for me here so I will have a lot of time to do all this. Just hope I can find some cheap cover hay this year. I will spray more for the beetles next year as I think we will be overwhelmed with them. I tried to take picture of the covering process but the trees were small and it was hard to see the procedure. Maybe this year (if I think of it) I'll try to take pictures again.

More info about the snake: (thanks Missing, for the NC snake website) *BLACK RACER* Coluber constrictor DESCRIPTION: Racers are large, relatively slender snakes known for their speed. They have rather large eyes, smooth scales, and in North Carolina are solid black as adults, although some have a whitish chin. As juveniles, racers are gray or brown with dark reddish-brown spots running along their backs. FEEDING/DIET: Racers do not constrict, but chase their prey down and swallow it alive. They eat a variety of animals, including small rodents, lizards, frogs, insects, and other snakes. ACTIVITY/BEHAVIOR: They are active only during the daytime and have very good vision. When out and about, they are very alert and often hunt with their heads raised above the ground. HABITAT/RANGE: Black racers live in a variety of habitats, but are often found in somewhat open areas where they can bask in the sun. REPRODUCTION: During June or July, the black racer lays 4Â31 eggs, which like its relative, the coachwhip, has small bumps like grains of salt all over its surface. MISCELLANEOUS: Although they are often confused with the black rat snake, the black racer can be easily distinguished by their smooth scales. Although racers will often aggressively defend themselves and will usually bite repeatedly if picked up, they do not chase people as is often claimed. When pursued, they often climb into bushes or trees to escape their would-be captor. Though they are fast for a snake, a person can easily outrun one on open ground. + Racer range map:

Sort of off topic...I lived in MN, too, Joan. In Duluth. I have to say when we moved to PA and then here to NC I swore I didn't care if I ever saw another snowflake. We're native Kentuckians and were totally out of our element. BTW, my husband was with a newspaper corporation and he made me go with him. ;) The coldest in SD was -38 and the hottest was 108. I can't imagine how enough early settlers survived to establish the state. Solstice, I admire your hardiness!

Your entire wardrobe is going to change, not just coats, longjohns and gloves. In my 9+ yrs in St Paul, I found that I never wore shorts in the evening from Labor Day until midMay. Sleeveless - not so much except for a couple of weeks in August. I steered away from poly/rayon clothing and instead went with the highest cotton or wool content I could find. Natural fibers are better IMO for staying warm or cooling down during mosquito season. My wardrobe of slacks increased in number pretty quickly. I initially bought Sorel boots but found them to be too clunky and heavy to wear so I switched over to LL Bean duck shoes and I bought separate Dr Scholl's liners. Not at the top of the style-o-meter but when the snow is high and you are cold, who gives a hoot about style. Breathing bitterly cold air hurts the nose and lungs. I used scarves and wrapped them around my nose/mouth when outside, waiting for the bus etc. In MN, most winter days were really sunny. The lack of cloud cover allows all the warm air generated at ground level to dissipate. result, the beautiful sunny days are the colder days. I've lived in NY, MI, IL and MN. Of those 4 states, MN is the one where people are outdoors year round. If you let the weather dictate your lifestyle in MN and ND, you will be indoors 1/2 the year. Just layer up. If you move into a house with a yard/garden near sidewalks, do NOT use salt on the sidewalks. It kills vegetation. as Faron said, sand, sand, sand is your friend. My mother in law, who lives near Dallas, made one trip to visit when we lived in MN and she would not come back from Nov to Mar. You may find the same with potential visitors...

How cute. I like the way Harry sets his butt on the top step, and his feet on the next one down. That is a cute picture with Sam copying him.

They are going to be best buddies, I just know it. Harry is already tolerating Sam quite well, looks like. It won't take long.

He's adorable! I'm glad you got him!

Obviously Harry is pretty easy-going. I was expecting you to get both the pups though! Be sure to keep us posted on his training and how his first hunt goes!

I can tell that Sam is going to be just as photogenic as Harry! If he has half the personality of Harry, y'all are going to be in for a treat!

He's here...Sam's in North Dakota, 7 pics (Sorry!) LOL
