Ladybug Ladybug

Several vibrant red ladybugs brightened up our weeding Wednesday evening. They didn't fly away, so the garden must be their home. Luckily, nothing was on fire (if you recall the old nursery rhyme). I did light a fire under some local youth who came to help and before you could say "is this spider poisonous?" they had beat me in a race to clear out a stretch of weeds along the fence. Several grocery bags of spinach left with our volunteers, and some of what my kids picked will go into a salad with my garden's lettuce, radishes and eggs (boiled:). With everything that's coming up at the garden, though, you might say it's home to a lot of life. So come put down some roots before you fly away home.

PS- I hope to see you on Cinco de Mayo (tomorrow sometime between 8-10am). Bring the kids along too.
