When the Rain Comes...

Crazy weather here in the Heartland! Just a few days ago the sun was shining with the temperature in the 70s. Today we have thunderstorms with a forecast of snow flurries tomorrow! The locals keep saying this year we'll see a cold, hard winter.

Apparently the LadyBugs are anticipating the cold weather too. Last week we began to notice laydbugs in our house. One day we saw two in our bedroom. The following day we had about a dozen in our office. On Monday there were dozens inside and hundreds outside on our house! I went out on to our deck to check it out and was swarmed by them! Eeek! One or two ladybugs are cute. But a whole swarm of them is rather creepy!!!

Anyway, I googled "ladybug season" and discovered they are searching for a warm place to "hibernate." Who knew?!

Here's a small section of my house - imgaine a 3-story 2800 sq ft house covered like this...

Hey Lisa,

I totally know how you feel, at least they are lady bugs. When I lived in Alabama the same thing happened except they were June bugs :-( Yuck!!! I don't miss that.
