Yesterday when I went out to greet our praying mantis,I didn't see it, but I did spot this little gold feller
And indoors new growth
See the leaf unfurling? This is a division from a parent plant which I just stuck in the pot and left alone. Clearly he didn't mind.
Yesterday was still a Misfits day, despite the holiday.

Turkey burger, broccoli, strawberries and homemade yogurt.
Handsome Son came over after his long shift and was very happy to be greeted with suntea, lemon flavored and chilled, plum and apple crumble with custard, and chocolate covered almonds. His trad Mom had hot tea.
He went back and polished off the rest of the custard. No leftovers. I advertised it as international food -- British Custard, and American fruit crumble. Anyway it was well received.
And he brought the ponytail palm downstairs for me, so here's the new living room setup.
I'm so happy I moved the ficus on, because this feels right now. It's enough for the space.

Happy day everyone, and I hope you have the ingredients for a good day. One note of good news from the UK, amid the Tory wipeout -- Rees-Mogg lost his seat, along with other bigs.
