Autumn Is Here!

It starts out innocently enough, with a sweet little Lady Beetle.



And soon you spot a few more...


...and soon it becomes apparent...


...that every lady bug in the world has finally decided to listen to all the little girls who told them to "Fly away home."

And picked ours.


Then decided they wanted to stay for the whole winter.


After a few early fall frosts, on the first of the Indian summer afternoons, the Lady Bugs swarm to find a place to hibernate over the winter. Autumn is Here!! For the next few weeks we will be finding Lady Beatles on our pillows in the morning, floating in our coffee, crawling across our keyboards, squeezing in between the floorboards and generally making themselves at home. Only to disappear from view.

Until spring arrives and they all decide that they want back out!
