thank you for the link Linda! I wish they were around more too but it was nice to see a few. They were mating so maybe there will be little larvae coming along!
I remember saying that rhyme when I was a young girl!
And mom would tell us that it was good luck to have a ladybug land on us... I wonder if that whole lore came about because gardeners knew they were beneficial and it was a good way to keep children from squishing them!
