My Marigolds Moved

Working with my stationary mini bike that I recently purchased for purposes of losing weight.

My yard often surprises me. I have all kinds of dragon flies this year. They are lovely.

Yes, I came inside yesterday and felt something on my shoulder. Looked over to see a bug. Started heading back outside and for the hubby to come and get the thing off of me. The bug started crawling down my arm, at which time I noticed it was just a large grasshopper. We both laughed!

I also would have not harmed the little guy. I remember when I was getting close to the water hose in the garden to grab it and it moved! It was a snake

I'm not too keen on seeing moving things in the garden. It might be a snake.

I wish I could say yes but at my age nothing surprise's me any more.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

That looks like a pretty good sized grasshopper. The best natural pesticides you can get. I was out with the dog early this morning. I hadn't even had coffee yet. I was hoping he'd hurry up so I could get back in and go back to bed. All of the sudden he bolted and almost pulled the lead from my hand. There were three deer that had apparently slept in my back yard. A doe and two fawns. I've seen them all year here and the fawns sure are getting big. They have already cleared the lower branches of my apple and pear trees. I expect them to be around. I just didn't expect them to be around early this morning. I was startled by all the commotion around me.

Only when I had my garden in Latvia and bees did dances between the flower and butterflies popped up and the occasional grasshopper who quickly got caught my our cat and eaten leaving the little legs behind,

Wow, either that's a very big grasshopper, or you're really zoomed in close! Once, when I was a kid, I went into my room one afternoon, and there was a hat laying on my bed that I had tossed there earlier. As I went to pick it up, it started moving! I was absolutely terrified and thought there was a ghost in my room! After I recovered from my heart attack, I picked up the hat to see one of those giant curly-tailed lizards underneath! How it got into my room I have no idea, but I was more thankful that my room wasn't haunted!

Yes. I think a praying mantis was on the window in the living room a few days ago. My cat tried to get it. I kept telling her that it was outside and we are inside.

At least he waited til you had got your phone ….shame the pics were blurry. Last Sunday I was walking up Moms garden , which is quite long. Suddenly a frog jumped out right across my path. I hate frogs I shouted and jumped about a bit …..I know….i know …over reaction…. I carried on to the top of the garden , but on my way back down, I had to call for The Mister to come and walk inbetween me and the rockery, where the frog had jumped….

Nothing surprising here. Will they eat your vegetation?

Sometimes a gecko appear from nowhere and we'll only surprise when it's inside the restroom. We notice it because of its toko-toko annoying sound for it lasts 7 seconds.
