Another New Friend (gosh I'm popular these days)

A few days ago I was disappointed to find that my little garden guardian was gone. I cried for a few hours, got over it, and went about my business. Every time I looked out onto my little garden over the next few days, I fondly remembered the good times we had together, until... either she came back, or was just hiding really well (she does have a knack for blending).

Two days ago I looked out to find a new friend (in the photos above and below). Other than taking a few minutes to get some photos, I didn't really spend much time getting to know him. I figured it would be too painful to find my old friend eating my new friend.

As of this morning, I don't see either of them. Maybe they fell in love and had to run away to a place where their relationship would be accepted.

Last week (or was it two weeks ago) I went to a local meeting of dorks like me with blogs. Having been in Sweden for a year, I hadn't seen them for a while. When one member (who obviously doesn't read my blog) found out I'm not doing anything now (i.e. don't have a proper job), she jokingly asked "So how do you spend your time? Gardening?"

Little did she know.
