The morning glories came down yesterday. As previously stated, I usually try to wait until after the first frost in order to provide the local critters a place to hang out as long as possible, but the vines were just getting too raggedy.
In the process of hacking and pulling, we found three gigantic praying mantises. Although we took their home, Sweet Husband did at least carefully relocate them to a nearby hedge. For a few more pictures--including a shot of one having a snack--click onward.
