A loveliness of ladybugs

Last week I began planting a garden for my daughter. I have never seen so many ladybugs gathered in one area in my life! Each shovel full of dirt that was turned over revealed juicy fat worms and let loose another loveliness of ladybugs. The ladybugs were not in the dirt, but were hiding in the grass and beneath the dried leaves.

The neighbour told me that he doesn’t rake up the final layer of leaves in the fall in order to give the bugs a place to thrive.

We all need a place to rest and to thrive.
