Praying Mantis visitor- Says hello to Bradly as well...

[Guest guest]

Today I had a couple hours to myself in the late afternoon. I went out to pick

the raspberries I have in my yard. (I transplanted some small plants from the

mountain two summers ago.) Anyway, I was picking the berries when I noticed

something on my hand. A small praying mantis! Lol... About 1 inch long. So I

said hello for a moment, and then placed him on a big leaf near me. Pretty darn

cute! I looked over to him a little later, eventually he went wandering off on

the leaves.

 

Nice to have one visit on the same day as I read about others experiences! Some

nice spider action today too. A few were on me, on my shirt etc, as I had a walk

up on the mountain. A couple of them seemed to have flown to make their web way

out in the sky hanging from a tree somehow. They were just hovering out there

nowhere near any branches... Seemed impossible where the web was.

 

The bees are all around my neighbourhood as well. In a hilly area, there are

lots of large walls as the roads move down the hilly parts. On these walls have

grown all kinds of leafy vines. One variety the bees love collecting pollen

from. Out my back door across the street is one of these walls. Sometimes when

I'm leaving or coming home, I'm met with a large 'buzz sound'. It sounds like a

highway not too far away. The first time I heard it I thought it was a machine

somewhere in the distance. When I stand close to the wall I can watch them

collecting the pollen and stand in the loud " hum zone " of thousands of bees

busily working. Bzzzzzzzz....

 

Well off to do some work... I'll be making some organic raspberry muffins with

those berries I picked later tonight too! Anyone coming to Seoul in the next few

days?

 

be well, bradly

and here i thought you lived in a huge city area - it sounds more like a rural

area- how wonderful that you have such connections to the earth- and i would

love some jam - in my imagination i will visit you and help you make the jam and

then share it if that is ok??

 

love to you brad
