Camera dump

I'm a tad bored today.

Let's see, I've written out my Thanksgiving cards and they'll go out today. I only send out 5 cards, my folks (why? I talk to mom every day and see them several times a month!) his mum, 3 of my BFF's that I just couldn't live without.

Oh I have camera crumbs! Whatever you call misc photo's I've taken, thinkin I'd blog about, and didn't. Some I can't remember why I took.

Like this

This here is mum. Do you like the hat?

Charlie (mom's Shi Tzu) just got fixed and came over with this cone. We were all outside, in the heat, setting up the shade awning. Mom's job, her only job, was to hold my cup of cold water. That's it. See the pink cup she's holding? Yeah. She spilled it not once. Not twice but three times! AND she's keeping a cup of cold ice water between her legs! You'd think she wont spill it that way, but you'd be wrong.
And mom? That hat has a hole in it, in the top, don't think it's keepin the sun off you.

My mom just cracks me up.

Then there's this:

A preying mantis!

I don't know what it is about mantis' but I love them.

They're quirky and cute

And she was just hanging upside down like this, looking at me. I got very close with the camera and used the macro setting.

She has been on my African Basil all summer. I'd get out there and water and transplant stuff and she'd be there, just hanging out, every day. Sometimes she climbs up the wall if I get too noisey around her. I keep looking for her egg pouch. I'm sure it's there somewhere. I don't want to damage it when I prune back for the winter.

Ok now, back to work.
