Fall is officially here. Some people look for the first frosty morning, or leaves changing colors. I watch for ladybugs. Every fall hundreds of them, looking for places to overwinter, meet on the side of my house. They crawl all over the siding, windows, doors, steps, everywhere. Some of them manage to sneak into the house, usually in the kitchen or basement. I try to catch them and take them back outside. I can't save all of them and end up with a pile of dead ladybugs under the windows in the basement. If I don't catch them, my dogs think they are flying dog treats. I don't know what they taste like, but Buddy and Little Dog seem to find them mighty tasty.
