The best part of me sliding back down our unplowed street this morning in a car with snow tires and watching the world go by in reverse? The snowplow that backed into our street right next to me as I slid down. He did a 3-point turn and drove away. Nice.
I parked at the bottom of the hill. It’s almost lunchtime. Still no snowplow.
Ever wondered what the inside of our garage looks like? Not as good as the Vince Hanneman’s creation, that’s for sure.
Found this fella on the grass unable to fly and gently set him in the veggie garden (away from the cat) hoping he might recuperate. The next morning he was dragonfried, poor guy.
Impressive 5″ wingspan. You should biggify his picture and appreciate him…
Sadly, his bright blue eyes and vivid turquoise stripes have already begun to fade. As is the way with all things beautiful, I suppose.
I suggest you click this image so that you can see it slightly biggified…
On Saturday, I went to the Casey Farm sale and met up with my friend John, who somehow lost a praying mantis egg case in his Honda. With the warm temps, they hatched, of course. DOH! So we chased them around the car with containers. Managed to wrangle 15 to 20 to bring back to the rancho.
Hopefully a few will survive to help rid the garden of aphids, moths and whatnot. Welcome to the family, mantid kids!
In the meantime, I’m busy planting my veggie haul…
