Another quick post. A month or so back, I was out mowing the leaves (and a bit of grass), and I saw something moving quickly out of the way of the mower. It was about the same color as the grass.
On closer inspection, it was a large praying mantis:
When I say “large,” I mean it was about 3 to 4 inches long. Some might be grossed out by this, but I am a fan of mantises (manti?).
Next post: back to the England trip.

Hey there, I found you via the NaBloPoMo blogroll.
I love a praying mantis. They are pretty rare over here but I have been lucky enough to find a few over the years and each time it has been a reminder to slow down and enjoy the moment. 🙂
As part of NaBloPoMo I try to comment on as many participating blogs as I can, and I also add participating blogs to my feed reader.
So I’m just dropping by to let you know I’ve added your blog to my feedreader, I’m reading you loud and clear, I have a link up going at my place so my readers can find participating blogs which you are more than welcome to add your blog link to.
Looking forward to seeing your posts. You may see me drop by again during November, but it might be December before I finish my first drop by to blogs if I don’t get faster at leaving comments. 🙂
Happy NaBloPoMo to you!
