The best laid plans don’t always end up the way we expect, but that doesn’t mean things can’t still be good. Haley and I set out to find the signs of Spring that have been popping up all over here. Since it was a gorgeous sunny day, we knew we were headed straight for the …
Our Visit From a Praying Mantis
