Sarah is very happy with the garden she has in the front yard. On occasion I have taken some pictures out there of some cool looking flowers. Lately, though, there has been a flood of pesky bugs that have moved in. In order to combat this, Sarah has ordered an army! Well, an army of praying mantids. What I was expecting was this:
But what we got was these VERY tiny little mantid. They will grow to be larger, (maybe not a rideable size) but in the meantime, I get to do some Macro photography!

Busy weekend
This weekend was pretty damn packed! Spent some time with Louis and Jen helping them move. It was practically just across the street but still managed to smash my face on a box, rack my knee on the concrete and jam my thumb to the point where it flipped the nail up. Came home and finished up adding the divider to Sarah’s planter so she could finish up her herb garden. We also had a small visitor emerge from his cocoon. The butterfly from the previous post got some garden time before taking off (or being eaten by a bird, we aren’t too sure about what happened with him, but we will hope for the best.)
Battered and accomplished I set in for some Portal 2 time. I will do my best to get a full review of it up sometime after I finish the single player and start in on Co-Op (and whenever I can stop laughing!).
Sunday I managed to replace the kitchen sink disposal too! Thankfully Lowes was open and had a great plumbing expert on hand! Install of the new one was done in about an hour and they were an awesome help, despite the kludge that is my kitchen sink plumbing.
All in all, a very fulfilling weekend!
