I was sunning myself in the backyard when I spotted a bird sneaking around on the lawn. I decided to go investigate what he was up to. He was hunting a praying mantis! I scared the bird off and took a good look at the mantis. Can you see him looking back at me? My …

Yard Work.
I was hanging out in the yard this morning and enjoying the grass and sunshine, when I decided to try and flatten all the grass. It was getting kind of tall so I thought I’d do it myself instead of waiting for our gardener to come and cut it. So I rolled… And rolled. (Notice …
