Into the garden

It  is a lovely day outside. Just finished walking the shark around my bedroom, bed made and ready for the day. There are morning dishes in the sink so that is next. Murphy is napping across the room from me but watching me as he does.
Alan released the critters into the garden when he came in from work...
into the Mr. Lincoln Roses
into one of the coleus plants
Of course he put them in many plants but these were the ones I could find at the moment I took the pictures. Now to hope they stay around and grow and munch on mites and aphids. 
Yesterday I baked a chocolate Bundt cake and that was desert last night after Turkey soup. Tonight's meal is still in the thought file. Well, that is about my report today.
Another headache (light thank goodness) day so Advil and relaxing is in order. I have been remaining home except for walking Murphy or as Monday to the doctor. Stay home, wash your hands frequently and be safe. Good chatting with you. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

The babies have arrived

Our holiday weekend is over. The weather was superb. Alan and Lisa are back to work...Murphy, at the moment has moved from the bedroom to the sofa. I have been awake sine 2:30...no, not with back pain but a headache. Yesterday Alan took me to Dr. Paul and I got injections to the right backside. So far it is almost pain free as I did nothing in the afternoon so the meds could work. Today will also be an easy day. There is swishing happening at the moment but the machine does that.
As of yet I have not had coffee ☕! or my toast. So that is next. Oh, the babies! Actually they are lots and lots of Praying Mantis. Guess you would like to meet them....all of them so far...
No....I did not count try to count them, but there are lots of them moving about. They will remain in the container until Alan returns home at 3ish. They look to be about 3/4 inch. I will be sure to capture their release into the garden.
Well that is it for now. I really need coffee and toast. Glad you could visited today for the announcement. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship...and for following my new crazy household!
