Heading home from a weekend at Lake Berryessa, I stopped at the WPA Rock Garden for a short walk.  The praying mantises are getting really big now as they head into the season when they’ll start laying their eggs…   When I got back to the house Sergeant Margie was going crazy, barking and barking.  When I sat down, he whined and whimpered and snuggled against me…  It’s so nice when your dog is so happy to see you home again.  **smiley face**   He wouldn’t let me out of his sight for the rest of the morning. Hah!
