"Praying Mantis"

Found this guy in the driveway yesterday as

I was getting ready to go to out with my friend , Michele.

I have not found one for a couple years or more.

He is a nice "Praying Mantis" (or a female?? I don't know) 

I love them and was glad to see one.

I got the camera out to share with you.

After the PHOTO SHOOT, I let it go.

I hope you enjoy my friend as much as I did.

It's September

Just stopping in to see how everyone is doing.

We Did Finally get some rain,too late for flowers

but good for the soy bean crops around this area.

I do have some sweet clematis that came for a friend

from Missouri two summers ago. It was just a snipping

and it has really grown.

I have Porcelain Vine that has been devoured by beetles. 

That ate almost EverY berry.  It is on the fence around 

The side yard and the vine grew fine.  But the berries

were devoured.

The deer are coming out to eat the berry tree and

it is nice to see them.

Hope all is good with you.'

Life is good. 

 I read a book on Kindle and ...YEAH .. the first time

since the cancer took over my life.
