Dakota loves naptime (pic)

18 years ago

Finally, a Dakota picture. She's been off the hook in the photo department for awhile, and I'm sure she's loved every minute of it.

I just took this of her on my couch...the couch she's not supposed to be on. Grant has been tormenting the poor old girl (she'll be 7 next month, notice all the white hair) and she LOVES the peace and quiet when he's napping like he is right now. She can actually rest uninterrupted for more than 5 minutes when he's not around!

I didnt have the heart to kick her off the couch, she looked too cozy. Yea, I'm a sucker for a pathetic face...

Awww.."Hi, Dakota! It's good to see you. Be very, very quiet and maybe that "little boy" won't wake up!" LOL

Awwww..you sweet, angel girl! Dakota, tell your mom you've more than earned a few minutes on that couch! :)

Steph, I've always spoiled my Stash cat, but at 14 yrs., her life couldn't get much better. ;)

South Dakota Spring #2
Q
Comments (14)
Appreciate the kind comments, it's been a kind spring compared to last year and the plants are reponding accordingly. Richard, that plant is Picea pungens 'Fastigiata', doesn't handle our snow load very well. Had an ice storm this spring that opened it up quite bad. The weeping pungens beside was one of my first plants I bought that got me started years back and made the trip with me when I moved. Was unlabeled so I guess just a Picea pungens 'Pendula'. Dax the plant being kept company by the flamingo, love pastic flamingos, is Pinus mugo 'Columnaris'. Been a wonderful plant that I like more each year I have it. The sea of green is a living mulch I've been working with, not sure of the name. Mulch is getting so exspensive and I'm getting older. I've been using several different living mulches that work well at surpressing weeds but yet stay short enough to no interfer with the conifers. And yes I live a few miles from Iowa and the soil is black and deep. The weeping spruce in photo two is Picea glauca 'Pendula'.

Hi Harv, You must prune off the reverting branches on your maple. They'll grow more vigorously than the variegated branches, and it's best to cut them off as soon as possible. I have to do this every year on my A. campestre 'Carnival'. You have such a lovely garden! It's a treat to see your large specimens, and everything works together so nicely. I look forward to seeing more. Alex

It was purchased as a picea pungens "Early Cones" from Mr. Fincham quite a few years back. Coenosium nursery is were the majority of my conifers came from, back in the day. I'm very fortunate in that I have 2 acres to garden in a rural setting, with all the soil being native tilth.

I love that photo of Dakota! When my grandbaby is here, she wears out my Lucky. But, when she's napping, Lucky sleeps right outside her bedroom door.

She does look worn out! I sure wouldn't have been able to make her move either.

Welllll, technically, she's not on the couch...she's on the pillows! heehee What a sweetie. I bet she LOVES Grant's nap time. Our dog learned to love the boys when he figured out they were low to the ground and carried crackers around. Good for a quick steal!
