For those of you who don’t recognise him, Monty is the Praying Mantis who now lives in my garden. At first I thought he was a large stick insect (about 3” long or about 8cm) but then someone told me it was a Praying Mantis. He is a welcome addition to the frogs and humming birds. I just hope he eats cockroaches!!!
I realised that I hadn’t included any pictures of the sky recently, in fact I haven’t written anything lately, so I have added some lovely pictures for you to view. Also for those of you who are brave, I have added a couple of pictures of me on Halloween in my Vampiress costume.
So I have just over a week left here in the beautiful desert and then it’s back to Connecticut for 4 weeks before finally returning to the Netherlands. I am really going to miss the sunshine as it is still around 30 degrees here. This weekend I am giving up to sitting by the pool in the daytime and partying in the evening :-)
I return to Connecticut just before Thanksgiving and will fly to Washington DC for the Thanksgiving holiday. There should be more for you to read over the next few weeks as I plan to visit a lot of places when I get back to the East coast. I promise no more pictures of the Statue of Liberty though (unless they are really good)!!!
