Last week I showed a photo captured on my cell phone of a would be stow-away who would have liked to come along on our holiday. Today there is somebody we met on said holiday. His name is Fred.
Fred is the littliest praying mantis I’ve ever met. Nevertheless, he has a great personality, hanging out in front of our holiday cabin and greeting us in the morning. I hope he will be cherished by the people moving in the cabin after us. And that he will continue to avoid matrimonial bliss for a long time.

Life starts at 66. It was a gift I received last week. I’ll take it at face value – it came from somebody who should know as she has passed this milestone already. Cellpic Sunday
There we were in the middle of the forest. Technically it was Monday but it was still Easter. Apparently, the Easter bunny was there before us and left us a few colourful presents. But hardboiled eggs with a bit of salt and/or mustard are a … Continue reading Egg Hunt with a Happy Ending
