I had a doctor's appointment this morning ... early (for me:). On the way into the building, there was a very lovely stand of ornamental grass taller than me.
Deep inside the stand I spotted a praying mantis standing on a grass stem and thought I'd take a photo. Mantises (mantii?:) are hard to spot usually so I felt privileged to see her in such a public venue. :) I hope you can see her, too, disguised as she is inside all the grass. Here's a different photo that might be clearer:
I've been fighting off a chest cold that my lovely husband shared with me. :P Spent all of Sunday afternoon and most of yesterday (Wed., my day off) horizontal. (sigh) So much for getting my bedroom computer area cleaned up. Had that task on my tuit list for I-don't-want-to-tell how many months.
My son is starting to get excited as time for GenCon nears - and I to panic as I will be gone from my store for ten days and have quite a lot of work to finish before i leave. Wish me luck!

PS
I got a delightful (and, again, unexpected) treat in today's mailbox - a pattern by La Todera called Harlequin Star Pillow, won in a giveaway from Craftytammie. This will make a pincushion or pillow - I am eager to try, once I get home. :)
