Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
The mantids that hatched in my garden are nearly all gone. I have only two left, and judging by the size of them, I'm going to have to bring them in for a while when the weather turns cold. They're only about a quarter of the size of the mantids I've been finding while out walking. They hatched really late in the season.
But I have brought home 3 large ones, who have happily taken up residence in various parts of the garden. Hopefully there will be more egg sacs next spring!

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
My crazy self and my crazier husband decided to rip the carpet out of our front room Thursday afternoon. We had no idea what we'd find underneath, other than that we knew it was hardwood. What a job!!
Well, it is hardwood, and it looks like it's never had a thing done to maintain it since the house was built 60 years ago. It's a little rough, to say the least. And the guy who fixed up the house before we bought it knew he had no intention of refinishing the floor, so he let all his drywall compound and paint fall all over it! Denis and I have been scraping and scrubbing for two days, but overall, it actually doesn't look half bad. Anything looks better than a white carpet that's been trampled by kids for 3 years.  We're going to have it sanded and refinished in the spring.
