Today it really rained ladybugs...the pictures don't do it justice. They were everywhere! Ears, hair, shirts...I only squished one that I know of.
OH! Everywhere like one just crawled out of my cleavage right now!
All those tiny dots are ladybugs.
As are all of these...but there were really more than this seems.
On one of my many trips around the yard today, picking up things, moving things and dodging ladybugs this is what I saw. The purple stopped me in my tracks. Purple at this time of the year? Asters, yes, but not low to the ground like this...
Nice, huh?
And I sent out my ornament exchange package to England...wanna see?
My exchange partner has three daughters who are all about pink so I hope they each enjoy one of these especially. It's my first exchange and I can't wait to see what comes to me....anticipation!

Your ornaments are so cute! How wonderful about the ladybugs, it feels like you've recieved a blessing and those little violas are super perky, at my old house I sometimes found them blooming right up through the snow, they have a lovely scent. God Bless, I love seeing all the progress!
We usually have tons of violets in the spring, but not this late. I will be happy if I have a hearty patch at my new home.
I am still trying to decide how to finish up my ornament exchange - my girl is just introducing the Christmas story to her own children, so I am trying to gather some of the essential things - which is part of the reason why I'm so behind. Yours are a-doreable. That purple flower looks like the violets that grow all over my yard - but I haven't seen any in these last many weeks. Don't you love it when the state knows that you, living way up on the top of a hill down a forever long drive, are paying people to help you build your own house? WHO TOLD THEM, I want to know. I'm rollin' up my sleeves, willing to do some righteous whacking. Windows and a roof. NICE.
I knew you would be on my side! Our only guess is that the contractors, actual licensed contractors, that are building the house on the corner may have turned us in. Can't believe it would be any of our neighbors because they want it to be done!
Sending those ornaments was hard. I really like how they turned out and want her to love them, too. I would like to be there to see her give one to each of her girls to open and hang on the tree. Ah, well.
ps...can't wait to see what amazing creation you come up with to tell the Christmas story.
Well, I'm flabbergasted about your being cited and am jumping right on in with the righteous whacking. But not until I'm done admiring those happy, happy ornaments.
Thanks for being on my side and willing to righteously whack an unlucky govt worker for me!
